Yes, Rush helped with the '94 elections. Did you see the date, from whence I said he lost me ? Three or four years ago, is well AFTER 1994. Bob Grant, the father of Conservative talk radio , especially in the N.Y. tri-state area, has been on the radio , for more than four decades. He started to lose it, after three plus decades, and only after a massive, all out, lefty attack , on many fronts ( far worse than anything ever tried on Rush ) got him fired from WABC. He came back, on WOR, but much subdued. Rush hasn't that excuse.

Rush is human, and far more falable, than some are willing to admit. Before he married Marta, he was fat hermit, who NEVER went anywhere. He spent his time actually working and doing research. He had a " fire in his belly " ! Then, slowly at first, post Marta, he became less inerested in doing all that, and went out ! Low and behold, instead of poltics, current events, and funny bits, it was " I went here". " I went there ", I had dinner with / played golf with / bought this / bought that ! " His T.V show was always far better than the radio show and then that was over . Newt ceased to whisper in his ear . Instead of three days late, the news from FR threads, that he used , would be a week, or a fortnight late, and he'd break off, to talk about himself. Now, it's Bush bashing, without let up. He's doing no one any good.

Oh, he'll be back, praising Bush to the skies, come the 2004 election cycle. This bashing is all hyperbole and mostly an act ; that's what I object to.

That's an interesting observation and I think it has merit. But he's still one of the good guys, and even if he never does another thing, he's still done far more than his share for our side.

I wouldn't worry too much about the criticism. Dubya can handle Rush. Tha man's a born winner. I wouldn't play poker with him.

And I think the bashing and other self-indulgence has caused Rush to lose listeners. I don't listen anywhere near the amount I used to.
