Context is essential here, 08 was a different time, different circumstance.
In 2012, when Romney is safely ahead, Rush is neutral.
Have you noticed how much things have changed since then?
We're in a whole new world now, new uncharted territory...desperation if you will.
Why is it so important to you what Rush says or who he endorses?
What changed?
In 2008 we were devoted to defeating Romney, (not Rush though).
In 2012 we are devoted to defeating Romney, (not Rush though).
Nothing changed except that this time we have an excellent challenger to Romney.
Why do you listen to Rush if you don’t think that he has any effect on politics? I’m really curious why Romney defeating Newt in the Florida primary doesn’t seem to bother you.
