"Rush has been on my dirty list ever since he took a series of cheap shots at Dubya as a ratings-raising stunt during the last ratings sweeps period."

This is something I've been meaning to ask. I have seen many people on this very forum say they don't listen to Rush because he is nothing but a shill for the Republican Party, and still other say they don't listen because of his anti-Bush "George W. Algore" stunt. How can both be true? Rush can't be a Republican shill, and criticize Republicans too much ... can he? Perhaps he's consistent - which I think he is - and you're too fickle. Perhaps some are too knee-jerk against the Republicans - even when they are conservative; and others are unable to recognize that the Republicans are not a perfect Party. Good grief.

Limbaugh used to be unabashedly GOP-friendly but during his Bush-bashing frenzy during the last ratings-sweeps period he also pointedly disassociated himself from the GOP.

…and still other say they don't listen because of his anti-Bush "George W. Algore" stunt.

As I said, Rush engaged in a rating-enhancing stunt at the expense of Bush and for this I consider Limbaugh to be a crass, lying hypocrit.

I say this because Limbaugh has always brags that he always stays true to principle and never bends to the pervailing political winds.

I guess one of his principles is that his political principles take a back seat to his financial principles.

I was a charter subscriber to The Limbaugh Letter and Rush's 24/7 subscription Web site, but now as far as I'm concerned Limbaugh can go straight to hell.

I have not listened to Lush in months. I just go to the RNC website and read their latest press release and I know what Lush will be talking about. When Impeached President Clinton was in office, Lush went after him and he was a voice for those on the other side of the fence. I'm not looking for Lush to Bush bash, I'm looking for him to be objective and to criticize Bush when he needs to and to keep his listeners tuned in to what is conservative.

I love it when Savage starts ranting about illegal aliens because he is so right. Bush wants to bring them in and give them amnesty with the hopes that they'll vote for him. This to me is more of this "compassionate" conservatism crap. I want that voice of dissent. Not to criticize Bush left and right, but to offer the conservative views on issues. Just because Bush does it, doesn't make it right.
