Obviously, an infinite amount of work needs to be done on behalf of the conservative movement if we are going to return to power one day soon.

Rush is an entertainer and is milking it. Can't say I blame him.

He says a lot of things for impact upon a frustrated segment of society that is outrageous for effect, not calculated to achieve political viability. He is politically counterproductive outside his target audience. Someone like Rush will keep you listening, but will never go far politically, because of the outrageous sound bites.

I disagree.

After Obama’s attack on Rush, his listenership spiked tremendously.

Once people actually listen to him, they are disarmed of the accusations that are leveled against him.

I'll agree he's not helping the GOP much, but that is the fault of the GOP for being such spineless weasels that they try to be democrats.

But I think he is very productive in reinforcing the conservative base of the GOP and of disarming those who have a shield-up reaction to him.
