Reagan had moral and ethical underpinnings behind his capitalist beliefs that I don’t believe Rush has. Plus, Reagan put his ass on the line and went out and participated in the process hands on.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Rush. But he doesn’t have the moral authority IMHO that Reagan had. I like Palin too. And while I don’t think she is ready to lead the conservative movement, I hope she can be by 2012.
The problem is that the GOP has no strong leadership right now. I personally do not trust any of the talk radio heads. Though Beck seems to be extremely effective, and the tea party was an awesome and uplifting, and no doubt put a shock in the shorts of the Dems.
Hopefully a strong, moral and ethical leader will emerge for the GOP, but the crop at the top of active politicians right now is pathetic.
I seem to recall how you holier than thou conservatives back stabbed Reagan in the back also... Personally I want someone who wants to reduce the size of Government both fiscally and socially also.. Rush is right..
