In the past, Bill O’Reilly has articulated he believed in certain conservative positions and why. He may have abandoned those positions, but he was on record at one time. Limbaugh makes fun of Democrats and lefties to the nth degree, but has he ever actually said he believed in any conservative positions? Maybe that he is anti-tax? I have never heard him say he is pro-life, or explain why someone should be pro-life. He may think Democrats are too extreme on social issues, but was there ever any evidence that he actually believed conservative positions on social issues?
You don’t know Rush.
He has said he is pro life. Do you listen to his show?I listen to Rush everyday and I respect him and I don’t question his conservatism.
In my opinion, Limbaugh's only flaw is his failure to take a stand during the Republican primary elections, when it matters most.
I think he games the elections (see Operation Chaos), because his failure to use his influence during the primaries results in candidates not to his liking, so he compensates by ridiculing the elections.
I'd like to see Limbaugh actually endorse a primary candidate, appear side-by-side with a candidate at stump speeches. I'd like to see Limbaugh campaign for a general candidate, too.
But he won't do it. He prefers to sit above it all and observe, comment, parody, and wish for different outcomes.
