RE :”But consider this: For someone who uses the moniker “sickoflibs”, you seem to prefer to voice a doom and gloom opinion which only helps the liberal cause. I don't fault you for it. Even Rush, Coulter and Hannity say bonehead comments that only help liberals now and then, IMO. Perhaps your values are conservative like theirs, but, on the off occasion, when emotions are high or low, you tend to point negativity towards the wrong direction. That's an answer only you would know.”

??? Telling your listeners they are winning when they are losing is not helping them, or hurting Dems. It's like disabling all the indicators on your car because you dont like the readings. Or finding a blood pressure meter, scale, bood sugar test, or thermometer which tells you what you want the measurements to be so you can keep eating fatty saltly sugary food.

If you are losing (and big like 2006 and 2008) you should figure out why so you can make corrections. Not try to find someone like Rush to tell you everythings going great.

I was a huge Rush fan in the early 90s, Loved both his books and his TV show. But things have changed greatly since then and so has he.

I'd refer to football or sports related anecdotes in disagreement, but then we'd only be talking in circles. I would like to note that the election, close as it is, is still weeks away, and your already talking about losing.

Ah! Then the problem isn't Rush, it's the "indicators" that individual people are willing to believe and go by. You're going by the indicators you trust in, which seems to work for you; I go by mine; Rush goes by his. And we all voice our opinions based on those indicators. Still, whatever any of our indicators say, that still doesn't sway the fact that we have a politician in the White House who is prone to lying and cheating at all cost, and is not above to using Chicago-style, dirty tactics and thuggery. In which case, all indicators can be deemed moot.

The real problem isn't Rush's optimistic(?) view. The real problem is how do you deal with an opponent who cheats and has the Media biased in his favor.

As individuals, it's up to each of us to figure out our own way in handling this dilemma. Rush handles it the only way he knows how; and if times, it comes off as false optimism, then perhaps, in dire times, he believes false optimism is still better than NO optimism. Who knows. At least, from what I can hear, he makes an effort to point negativity in the right direction......most of the times. ;)

Again, I would like to say this has been a thoroughly enjoyable and informative discussion. I'll leave you with the last word.
