Sorry, all. The caller was right on point. I had the same concerns myself that Rush could do a million other things for conservative candidates other than endorse outright.

He could have educated his audience with positive things about Romney.....devoting as much time to him as he spent the last three weeks talking about Hillary's crying and other red herrings.

The problem with the caller was that he picked the wrong example to bring up with Rush who seized on it like a carp after a worm, demolished the caller and extricated himself by segueing into a commercial.

Two weeks ago, I posted several times on the Rush threads how he was devoting hour after hour to Hillary-bashing. I questioned why he wasn't touting Republican principles and utilizing the tricks of the trade in obliquely helping Thompson or Romney after Fred's departure.

Rush never gave Thompson a much-needed covert nudge except once before the Iowa primary, nor the remaining primaries in FRed's short tenure as a candidate, instead choosing to concentrate on the Hillary/Obama tiffs, etc.

In the week leading up to the election yesterday, he did the same thing.....nothing positive about Romney, only McCain-bashing.

Well, I'm still a Rushhead, but I must say, I questioned his strategery three weeks ago, and I question it today.

But it's water over the dam. But now I know that Rush will tie himself in fluff-knots avoiding talking about conservative candidate when it comes down to pecan-biting for fear he'll look like he's endorsing.

Well, it is what it is, and I can't change it.

Your point is well taken.

Who's POTUS is important this time around.

I remember after SLick began his slighness...Rush was on a tirade back then...Newt was on air a lot....Congress got shook up, The Contract with America was a success.

The people did it, Not Rush!! Newt screwed up in his personal life...on and on....Newt stepped on too many toes of the 'old time money in office on the Hill'.

Conservatives lost then, came on too strong too quick...although the swing back right was needed at the time.

Political lessens learned then need application now.

Romney isn't pulling out. There's still a long way to go. He'll adjust his line of attack and defense accordingly. I don't count him out.....and neither do a lot folks posting on FR last night and tonight.

Now I hear Rush THREE times since his show opened today conceding that it appears McManiac will almost certainly win the nomination.

Thanks Rush, for the boost for us who don't give up the ship when it's not yet even begun to burn.

Rush stated after 2006 that he would NEVER CARRY THE WATER FOR REPUBLICANS AGAIN. It is up to each and every candidate to make his or her own case to the American people. It is NOT Rush's job to do so. He does let you know where he stands if you listen to him regularly... he did this time... but the electorate ignored his opinions.

If mitt needed Rush he should have hired him as his campaign manager. He probably could not afford Rush.
