Rush has been extremely supportive and positive towards Mitt Romney the past two months, especially when compared to how he criticizes ALL the other candidates.
It is not hard to tell Rush's positions by the adjectives he uses, by his voice inflections, by the callers he allows on, and by the media stories he reads ... and summarizes.
I'd say 90% of Rush's attitude toward Romney is positive. Rush notes that Romney is saying the right things, and framing the issues fairly conservative.
The only thing Rush disliked was when Romney talked about a $20 billion research cooperation with the auto makers in Detroit.
Although many perceived that as a business government co-op similar to what occurs with pharmacuticals and defense corporations, Limbaugh seemed to think it was a bailout of sorts.
Today, however, Limbaugh was back to the pro-Romney rhetoric. Which is good for the GOP and good for conservatism.
Well, it is a bailout. What sort of research monies do pharma companies get from the federal gubbament? I do know that they spend many billions trying to comply with regulations, but had never heard of them getting money to subsidize research.
