Comments:
Colmes is a liberal with some libertarian leanings, a self-described capitalist. Though occasionally his frustration with the conservative talk audience shows through, he generally treats callers and guests with respect even when they disagree. Despite his liberal views, he has developed a great rapport with a largely conservative audience because of his sense of humor, concern for America, optimistic attitude, respect for other views and wide range of political views presented.
