There's just something much bigger going on here that we don't know about. It has to be driven by the upcoming economic crisis that they are all trying to disguise. It's going to be hard to implement the 30's style WPA-type socialist programs they have planned to "save" us when everybody distrusts the government. And blaming someone as non-committal and moderate as Hannity (Rush Limbaugh maybe I could understand) is just ludicrous.
Mistrust of government power is the core value upon which the Republic was founded. Any politician who doesn't get that and appreciate the reason for it might as well be working for King George III and the Tories, and deserves zero public support.
hannity didn’t have to do anything. it’s people like Clinton and Spitzer and then you have the disappointments from even real conservatives like Duke Cunningham and Larry Craig that made the case for this attitude
