I find it amazing that Rush encourages everyone to put their balls on the line ...
Ted Cruz, Gohmert, Sessions ..
Yet Rush “never” does himself ...
after twenty years of listening, I’m getting tired of “that” ...
IMNVHO, Rush spent most of that 20 trying to ingratiate himself with the GOPe/Chamber of commerce. E.G., His devoted choir forgets that for years he was totally unconcerned with illegal immigration, calling it "the sign of a healthy economy."
Then there was that period with the deafness and the pills during which he was pretty much off the tracks around some bend.
Nowadays, he's much more outspoken than ever before, IMO. But let me put my prejudice on the line. I feel that "Conservative" Talk Radio is essentially negative. E.G. Totally into dishing the dirt on TeamObama, but never offering alternative Programs, Plans, or Leaders who can articulate them.
Furthermore I claim that Talk Radio probably depresses turnout, because in the daily flood of useless negativity, many "conservatives" feel so unempowered that they don't even vote. E.G., I have established that some of the biggest "conservative" (and Rush Fans) loudmouths at my VFW Bar never bother to vote and that a good number of them are not even registered.
It's a sorry political party that turns to former Rock'n'Roll DJs, who are great at selling gold bars, Sleep-Numba Beds, and personal security software to a mature white male audience, and accepts them as political philosophers.
I agree. I have been listening since 1988.
Commentary we have plenty of--we need leaders to help us in the fight for America.
