I’ve been wondering about Rush’s stand on Rudy (I have to work and can’t listen like I used to).
It’s got to be a dilemma for him, given what’s been going on.
Does anyone know—did he take a position on a candidate in 2000 before the nominee was selected?
Good question - I do not know.
I doubt it - Rush is very very careful with things like this.
He really respects his audience.
I do know that he does not like John McCain - I think we all know that.
He definitely did--he supported Bush agaisnt McCain.
“It’s got to be a dilemma for him, given what’s been going on.”
I don’t think so. If Rudy’s the nominee, and it’s between him and Her Highness... well, what’s to think about?
At the risk of bringing down the wrath of the Rudy Derangement Bunch, I have a lot of respect for the guy, even though I disagree with his views on abortion and gay marriage 100%. I remember him when he went after organized crime in NYC, I remember when he cleaned up the city, I remember how much strength he showed after 9/11. What impressed me most about him, though, to be honest, is that he used to have a Friday radio show in WABC when he was Mayor when he took calls from people and listened to the problems they had with the bureaucracy and gave it to them straight - if he could help them, he knew just who to contact, and promised them he would, and if he couldn’t, he let them know that, too. No “say anything to make ‘em happy” politicial BS, or lies (uh, oh... at this point, some of you are no doubt turning red and saying: “Rudy’s a liberal! He does nothing but lie! Go back to DU, you’re the enemy! Arrrrggghhhh! ... Honey, where’d you put my raw steak...?”).
Would I prefer there was a whole-hearted conservative in there whose beliefs matched my own... and who actually had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning? Yes. Is that the situation? No.
