First, from the perspective of electoral politics, Rush Limbaugh is not much of a factor. No need to read any further.

Lordie I get sick of liberal types.
It must be awful living with their world views drowning in negativity and pessimism.

That article is retarded. I wasn’t even interested in politics until, as a kid, I heard Rush Limbaugh. I heard somebody articulating things in public I had always thought, but kept to myself, such as: “Gawd that Bill Clinton guy is a creep”, etc.
And then I realized I wasn’t the only one that thought Hillary Clinton was an obnoxious woman. So to say Rush doesn’t matter electorally? What a douche.

Rush matters a hell of a lot more than Jay Cost.

"He influences lots of people and is certainly important from a cultural perspective. But we're talking about elections - where more than a hundred million people participate." And yet a change of only 300,000 votes (in a few specific battleground states) would have meant a McCain victory.
And yet a change of a 120,000 votes in Ohio would have meant a Kerry victory.
And yet a change of a few hundred votes in Florida would have meant a Gore victory.
To dismiss Rush because "more than a hundred million vote" is pure rubbish.
To: xcamel
And a stupid article based upon a false assumption.
Can anyone imagine what kind of candidate for POTUS Rush would be? Someone who articulates Conservative values better then anyone since President Reagan.
Who knows?

If Rush doesn't matter, why does the Obamulan mention him, and why is the Communist (DNC) Party out to silence Talk Radio??
And why is this maroon Jay Cost writing about him?

Rush is totally irrelevant. 50 million people listen to him because there is nothing else on the radio between noon and 3pm.

Yeah...for someone that does not matter...he sure gets the attention like a person that does matters. Typical media...Jay just needs to shut his hole.

ALOT!! HE IS OUR JOHN GALT! I would argue that Rush is more our Thomas Paine, than he is a John Galt.
Rush helps us articulate our cause (of conservatism), and that is sorely needed among many of those CINO's -- conservatives-in-name-only.
