Rush has been an operative of the GOP establishment since his first broadcast from Sacramento.
Sometimes that has worked out OK for us, but those times are pure random crap shoots. We have to stop leaning on imagined heroes, and get motivated at the true grass roots level. That means lots of door to door rambling. We did it for Reagan, after the bitter defeat in ‘64, we took Sacramento in a storm in ‘66.
It can be done, but a false hero will leave you in freefall. Sarah Palin didn’t deliver this time, but she didn’t stab us in the back either. I think she has to remain our focal point.
When Rush had Steyn (who I used to worship but FUMS now) on Tuesday, he admitted he’d have to come back Wednesday and un-do all the damage Mark had planned for Newt.
It’s been good for ratings, I’ll bet. I don’t listen anymore. Rush is quick to credit the ‘shellacking’ of the rats and rinos in Nov ‘10 but does nothing to encourage that same shellacking crew to DO IT AGAIN this November. Fence-sitter.
