Epic Stupid Question.
ALOT!! HE IS OUR JOHN GALT!
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.
He matters WAY more than you, Jay.
Rush matters a hell of a lot more than Jay Cost.
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.
Rush is totally irrelevant. 50 million people listen to him because there is nothing else on the radio between noon and 3pm.
I wonder why jay is asking about RUSH?Must be scared.
What our “leaders” don’t understand is that we rush limbaugh represents how WE feel so when they diss him they diss us! Why can’t Steele and the rest of them get that?????
A lot of political types think in terms of positioning and branding and demographics.
Not enough think about persuading people that your ideas are right. Most people including politicians aren’t capable really of persuading people.
Thats Limbaugh’s forte. He is out there every day explaining and analysing and teaching in a way that no one in the GOP seems to know how to do, or have the grit to do. And with most of the print and electronic media in Democrat hands, most of them don’t have the platform to do it anyway.
Limbaugh is our preacher. Its him and a couple of others and then nothing. Just a lot of pretty boys running for office.
He is a kindred spirit to a lot. He is a great analyst who understand libs and can predict what they are going to do. He is invaluable. Without his constant influence, we would have been in a deeper hole long ago.
He pretty much speaks for me
More than you do Jay.
[The parties get to tinker at the margins, and ideology can be a part of this tinkering, but it’s important not to make too much of it.]
I wouldn’t say Obama’s $$$trillions are exactly tinkering. The author is again part of the problem, not Rush.
Rush Limbaugh matters a lot. It is asinine to posit otherwise.
Operation chaos. The author has number two for brains.
If Rush isn't much of a factor, why do the liberals in the media continue to discuss him?
He IS a factor, and he's done what the republican leadership apparently doesn't want to do - he's mobilized conservatives.
I listened to the recording of Rush’ address to CPAC. The beginning was his analysis of who conservatives are and what they believe. I nodded my head the whole time thinking, “Yes, that is what I believe!” That is the value Rush Limbaugh brings. He validates our thoughts by letting us know that despite what we hear in the media, we are not alone and our philosophies do make more sense than what is accepted wisdom.
