Rush and other Conservative talk shows do better when the Democrats control part or all of governement, IMO. Listening to Rush of late, I'm beginning to see a repeat of the pattern of 1992. Rush gets angry with a Bush; many of his listeners take his cue and don't vote for a Bush reelection; Democrats get elected; Conservative talk shows do good.

In '92, Rush used the "Read My Lips" thing as the trigger; in '93, Clinton outdid Read My Lips manifold with his tax increase. Now, Rush is "angry" with Bush over the "biggest social spending increase in 40 years" and playing it up with his listeners. If a Bush loses agian, "Universal Health Care" and the tax increase needed to fund it will make any Bush spending look like nickle and dime stuff.

I agree. Rush does sound a little bit in the wilderness and grasping to find his way.

Eight years of Clinton made him lazy, IMO, there are two ways he could go, totally anti-Bush(demo and right wing malcontnent side) or pro-Bush. His show suffers when he tightropes in the mushy middle of the malcontent political right.

The choice is up to Rush, but if he goes over the edge to malcontentism, I will turn him off.

Sounds like a good thing that I didn't listen to Rush today. Instead, I listened to the President who gave a nice speech with NCAA winter sports champions encouraging them to be good role models and to volunteer in their communities.

Which person was negative, and which person was uplifting? There is a clue here. Perhaps Rush should buy it.

from this question to you..

Which person was negative, and which person was uplifting?

Over Rush or Bush

I say Rush was uplifting because he is going to open lots of eyes to the truth. Like say 20 to 30 million people. Don't forget Rush is a spokesperson for the conservative side on the radio in America...

You see bottom line is this

80 percent support this socialist plan of the Rats and that means an overlap onto FR that support it too.

Shameful and why eyes need opening.
