Rhetorically Obama constantly lied so there is not so much a shock that he is a diehard socialist but that he has actled so openly and in such a rapid fire fashion. You would think he would have tried to wear the cloak of Centrism a little longer but nope. One can imagine a coming shock but it is never real until...it's real.
As far as Rush went he in no way gave McCain a complete endorsement but he did, as the campaign was being concluded with Palin onboard, highlight the major differences between the flawed McCain and the super-sized-flawed Obama. Don't try blaming Rush for the fault of the media and their collusion/defense of the Dems.
Rush doesn't have the pull to get the left to make him the point of an admitted campaign by Begala, Carville, Emanuel, Obama etc. to label him the defacto leader. And of course Rush is going to do better when the Pubbies are out of power - that's just commonsense.
It sounds like you simply don't like Rush and want to tear him down. Go ahead but it doesn't make your current assessment the truth.
It is hard to believe that Rush is more popular now than he has ever been. He’s always been the grand pooh-bah, but this is ridiculous.
President Obama, you don’t realize what you have unleashed. Unlike George Bush, Rush Limbaugh will fight back with both barrels and and will have a lot of ammuntion in reserve.
