What exactly are leftists celebrating? you count his years in Sacramento he’s been on the air for over 30 years. That’s pretty impressive, but nothing lasts forever. Jordan retired, Montana retired. People get old and like Glover said in LW4, “You can’t beat the clock Riggs”

For me, when Rush and the other radio yappers IGNORED Obama’s natural born eligibility to be president and the numerous forgeries posted....well...that did it for me!

Yeah! I listen in once in a while to talk radio, but I no longer trust these PHONIES who claim to love the Constitution soooo much. I now get my news and opinion straight from the Internet.

Yeah! I am still mad at Rush these other guys and gals.

If true tyranny comes to our nation, Rush and the others will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy. They will spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks. ( They may even be doing that now!)

Isn’t Boston a Liberal Firebase?

To paraphrase Mark Twain: ‘The death of talk radio is premature.’ Rush is not as good, but he - and talk radio - is still there for the common folks. The LSM would love their monopoly back, so they can choose who will B the next president.

Sadly I don’t listen to him any more. I want to. But his station is not convenient in L.A. any more.

I wish him nothing but success.

The only idea I have for him if he wants to climb back up the peak is to do something different this presidential election. Use what is left of his bully pulpit for good. He’s not some angel too high to be human. He’s the only radio guy who keeps his personal feelings aboutnthe candidates too close to his chest and doesn’t try to naturally influence his audience. Maybe he should. I know the thing is that he is afraid to be wrong. Well, you aren’t “wrong” if you have an educated preference, whether the candidate wins or loses. And it might sway enough people to give us a win. If his fave is Jeb I never said any of this. But I don’t think it would be.

I love Rush but will turn off for football,golf or the latest Apple product. As there is no alternative, he isn’t going anywhere.

Limbaugh is a shill for the status quo, so called conservative side of the political puppet show. He is no longer talking to a people that feel that one side has answers, the other, ruining what was once a great country. The country is in shambles, the leaders hold hands and ask us to jump off the cliff. It matters not who gets control of the handles of power. They are lawyers that argue their case in front of a corrupt judge vociferously, and shake hands and go out for toddies afterwards.

"Limbaugh’s ratings also have dropped. His New York station, WOR, has about half the audience share as WABC did when Limbaugh was there a few years back — and while that’s not all on Limbaugh, he hasn’t lifted it up."

WOR's transmitter is much weaker than WABC's. (WABC's transmitter range is legendary.)

There are a whole cluster of these stories out in the last couple of days.

It’s almost like they were coordinated.
Picking target. Freezing it. Personalizing it. Polarizing it.

If Rush's ratings are falling, it's because of three reasons: He's become ineffective because he refuses to take on controversial subjects anymore. He should have given up the show shortly after the 2008 election, put his money where his mouth has been and run for office.

Well, I listen most every day, and have been doing so since 1989 or so. As a matter of fact, the local affiliate, KTBB, just launched a powerful FM station, which means I can listen up to about 80 miles away now.

Despite Rush’s failings he does a remarkable job for being stone deaf.

Fading? Before the internet I listened to Rush. Now I listen to Beck, Levin, Howie Carr (local talk), and EWTN/Catholic Answers —all streaming.

I’m sure most engaged conservatives are doing something similar.

Another factor is that Rush seems to me like a squish. The Republic is nearing its end. We need talkers with passion.

if Rush wasn’t on the radio, i wouldn’t turn it on.

btw, when did the left get to determine what ‘toxic’ programming is? last i checked, he’s one of the few sane people on radio.

sanity != toxic

It’s called the “Rush Limbaugh Radio talk program” because it’s HIS show...HIS network, per say, so if the libtards don’t like it, don’t listen....

He is good at what he does...that’s why we listen to him...maybe he doesn’t talk about what everyone wants to hear about, but hey, the main stream media doesn’t talk about what I want to hear about so I don’t listen to them...

I love Rush, always have, and will listen as long as I can...but to trash him like the libtards are doing, ha ha ha I love it...and so does he.....

Rush is always a day behind - or more - the web stories. Then he and his producers go on and on about one topic as if they the audience is unable to get the point. Even Mark Styen and others how filed in would go over and over the idea until I had to change the station.

I'm sure Rush is really worried about his ratings.

Earlier, the New York Daily News revealed that sagging ratings might mean less money for Limbaugh ...

If Rush quit today and attempted to spend his money it would take him 24 hours a day of shopping - for years - to deplete his funds.

Rush does the work he's doing to save the friggin country - NOT to add to his millions.

Liberals never 'get it'...

When Rush, Hannity and Mark refused to discuss the Birther issue in a serious manner I knew they were fake conservatives. I only listen once in a while where I used to listen every day.
