I was going back to review the Clinton scandals and crimes (it's taking a while -- there's alot of them -- the Bush Bashers should direct their outrage to where it is really deserved;) and stumbled on an excerpt from Sam Smith's 1994 book Shadows of Hope: A Freethinker's Guide to Politics in the Time of Clinton. Smith is editor of Progressive Review.

The excerpt is: How We Got Into This Mess. In it he has a good description of the tendencies, biases and weaknesses of the main stream media's political reporting, and how it contributed to Clinton's rise.

I'm struck by how much Rush is simply a part of that main stream media culture. And I am more angry at his lack of sufficient outrage to many of Clinton's crimes than I am his current bad mouthing of Bush.

Good point. For people who are constantly carping on President Bush for not going after Clinton's crimes with all guns blazing, they forget the Rush poo-poo'd many of those very same crimes....(the worst ones)....as kooksville.

Yes, Rush achieved material success and perhaps that took a lot of his fire away. I don't know.

I will check out the links you gave.

Every day I think about who the real enemy is. And it is not President Bush.

For the things his critics don't like about him - there is prayer and writing.

And I only have to think of Algore being in power right now - remembering the nausea wave that sweeps over me at that thought - to know how wrong the Bush critics are - the ones saying there is no difference between a Republican and a Democrat, between President Bush and Algore!

Dear God - what a nightmare we would be in. People would already be in their escape "pods"........or moved to Australia or Central America.......

It comes down to being informed...and then being dedicated to getting the Senate back.
