I don't think Rush is a socialist. I think he doesn't do very good research in what his listeners think.

He was closer to the mark in the years before he started using the headline grabbing Bush-bashing threads here as a cheat-sheet (or his researchers did).

Rush doesn't have the corner on expertise in political opinion. In fact, lately, he has been wrong on quite a few things. Remember when he told us with such assurity that Hillary would never run for the Senate?

I do have a lot of respect for the man. I remember what he meant to me in the 1980s and 90s. When the media was damning Reagan and bush and praising Clinton, Rush was there to help keep me sane. And I think that's what bothers you the most. From you point of view I don't blame you. You feel like he's AWOL. I can understand why, although I may not agree. Having not listened regularly for a while, perhaps you have some valid beefs with him. I can only tell you what my perspective is and you can try to understand where I'm coming from and think of it what you will.

I see Rush here thinking smaller government is what we spent 20 years espousing before Bush took over. Now it seems to us that the message changed, bigger is sometimes better. This and other issues are driving some of us up the wall. And as fair as it is for me to think this, it's fair for you to think otherwise if you must.

You will note me going around the forum making my observations about current policy. I want you to know I am not happy making the comments I do. I like George Bush and it pains me to have to disagree with him. I say that in sincerity.

I sometimes find myself getting fired up because this is supposed to be the man I back with my heart and soul. Instead I feel betrayed.

Look, I know this seems unreasonable to you. Why don't you go ahead and respond and I'll move along. This probably won't be productive and I'm not here to tweak you at length.

Take care.

Bush: How do you turn back a tidal wave? You don't!

We've got generations of Americans who now DEMAND benefits from the porch sitters to those who now want Prescription benefits from big brother.

So what was GWB supposed to do? Be a one term POTUS by vetoing what the rats and rinos sent to him? Because that is exactly what would have happened as the media and their minions would have made him another Pat Buchanan.

Instead, he has given us two fantastic tax DECREASES to set the stage to starve the feral government of funds in the future, and has defused the leftist rats and rinos, while setting the stage for a truly Conservative Senate.

We share ideals, but have to remember the tidal wave...as in one sand bag at a time.
