In 1988, I voted for Dukakis and in 1992 - I voted for Bill Clinton. I came from a family of union pipefitters in Texas. Up until Reagan, Texas was Democratic country - especially my area. I was one of the few democrats at Texas A&M.

But in 1993, I began to drive home from A&M, I had Friday classes that let out at noon, and I listened to Rush and Alan Combes (who were both on WTAW - back to back). I hated Rush...at first.

However - it didn't take too long for me to realize - the guy that supported my party - was all emotion and no facts. The guy to supported the republican party - was all facts - sound bites - and logic - and did not argue from emotions. Being a scientist (as a meteorologist) - that was up my ally.

I owe my conservatism to Rush. It drove my parents CRAZY. However - over time - my mom became a bigger conservative that I. Why?

Rush Limbaugh.

I found Rush during desert storm...he lead me to Drudge and then to FR...

I voted Carter in 1978..before that, I campaigned for George McGovern...

by the time of the 2nd Reagan run, I was in....Rush just cemented it for me...I finally found out what my true feelings were...

Same here, but I also voted for Mondale in 1984. I remember being so happy that Clinton won in 1992. By 1994, I was disgusted with him and the 'rats and became an arch-conservative. A co-worker got me started on Rush. I first watched his short-lived TV show and then started listening. It has been great to have him all these years.

Now things begin to make more sense.

Thanks for Clinton. Both of them.
