I love Rush and never miss him but the fact is he has gone the same route as many conservatives—
Given Sarah Palin as a godsend candidate, a for-real conservative with absolute celebrity status (a MUST when running against a celebrity), he backs down when push comes to shove.
I wonder if Rush spoke up for Reagan in 1976 or even 1980 BEFORE he won the nomination. I really wonder.
In any case, it’s all very disappointing and we’re probably gonna end up with Bill Scranton, um, I mean Tim Pawlenty nominated by the Repukes, who will lose 48 states in 2012.
You'd have to ask David Limbaugh. No one else was listening to Rush at the time.
That said, this election is for all the marbles. Rush wants our nominee to be Sarah Palin, and this time, he needs to drop whatever considerations he has, and endorse her for the nomination.
If there was ever a time for him to come to the aid of his country, this is it. If he fails to do this, he will carry that shame to his grave.
