Rush is giving me ulcers and he certainly doesn’t need my $50a year.

Wow, I thought it was just me. If fact, the Mrs. and I had quite a disagreement about Rush earlier today.

I have listened to Rush since the late 80's when he was a local guy on KFBK in Sacramento. He has picked me up many a time when I was ready to throw in the towel (politically speaking). But about two or three weeks ago I found myself starting to yell at the radio more and more as I noticed Rush soft-pedaling Romney and his moderate history.

Rush has made many parodies about moderates (my favorite being the guy getting in the elevator who can't decide which floor he wants and asks, "Where is everyone else getting off?").

Now, bit by bit (no pun) I'm somehow supposed to give up my conservative roots and "accept" Romney. Rush doesn't quite say Romney is a conservative, but has really blasted Newt while going pretty damn easy on Romney. I maintain that if you listed ALL of Romney's accomplishments while Governor of Massachusetts and said he had a "D" after his name, you would not be surprised. Yet now, Rush (and other "conservatives") are busy trying to convince us to ignore that and just beat Obama.

Well, I come full cycle and now take Rush at his word, "...follow the money!" Looks like Clear Channel/Bain Capital is where the money is.

EXCELLENT post, especially the conclusion:
