I understand your argument but here is mine. Rush purports to represent “conservatism” but when he defines it it is very different from the way I define it. Rush doesn’t want the Wall. Rush loves free trade at the expense of manufacturing and industry just moving out. He would do nothing. Rush had not a whimper of admonition as the Gope funded obamacare 4 damned times. Rush was non committal on the “leadership” of Boehner and McConnell. He supported the Iraq war. He is not the Conservative he says he is . He is hiding from this election!!
Things are uneven in some of what you say.
For example many liberals agree with you regarding
free trade. What does that make them....or you?
Whether you or I like it or not Rush
will not stay home on election day
because he will pick GOPe over liberal
Democrat every time. He will see a
difference even tho others may not.
And when it comes to picking judicial
candidates I am on his side.
Limbaugh gives conservatism a wider
berth than many. It gives him a bigger
audience for one thing. Those who
don’t like it can vote with their ears.
Could Rush have even gotten on national radio unless he sealed a deal with the establishment? What we have seen recently with Fox News is what we have been experiencing with Rush. Much of national radio is probably like that as well. Remember how all controlled societies and oligarchies operate—control of media and controlled opposition.
