If anyone is elitist or snobbish, it is the Rushites on here who use the majority of their posts to insult other posters and Republicans for not following the company line on all issues. If someone wants to have an honest debate on said issues, I would like that. What I am very tired of is the constant name calling, juvenile posts of unflattering pictures and the frequency at which posts are made to simply throw out personal insults. Rush has done this on his radio show and it now permeates these forums and almost all political discussion (on both sides). I am very tired of it and if I see a candidate whose nomination and election might blow up the status quo, I am going there, even if said candidate is not right on all of the issues. I am not yet a Huckabee supporter, but the more I read here, the more I like him. Just as I liked McCain in 2000.
Ok... Let’s have that discussion. Since you mentioned that you did support McCain let’s see where we disagree. What topic would you like to talk about? Campaign Finance Reform? War on Terror? Energy Policy? Taxes? The pictures and “name calling” you speak of has been a contant element in American politics since our nation first began. Political satire has been around much longer then that. None of that, NONE of is started with Rush. Now you could say Rush really excelled in the art of political satire and his access to the masses via his old TV show and radion allows him to spread that satire to a wider audience than ever before. It would be a lie to suggest that the Left’s practices only started to defend themselvs from Rush. The Left has been in full politics of personal destruction mode since the late 60’s to Early 70’s if not before that. I have NO issue with political satire as long s it’s based in the truth, which is exactly what rush does. Are you saying you have issues with the truth?
