I was in my 20's as well. I was raised in a union house and raised democrat. In college, I used to listen Rush and then Alan Combs. I got so ticked off at Rush. But after a while...I realized Combs arguments were all emotion and Limbaugh had facts...and backed up his side with lots and lots of audio clips and quotes.
The process took about a year. And man...after that...trips home were FUN. /sarcasm
