At that point he does not want his audience to stay home or lose enthusiasm as the stakes are just too high.
If all Rush cares about is his personal fortune and radio empire, then what good is he really? Do you honestly believe that's all that really matters to him? I don't.
He stood and championed the cause of conservatism when most considered it to be professional suicide, and he won. He's remained a steadfast voice for America's founding principles, ever since.
I don't believe that he takes any of this lightly, nor is he only looking at it through the lens of his career and business. He wants what we want, but he also understands that he holds a great deal of influence and power in his position - power that, unless carefully used, can do great harm to those he most wishes to support.
There is some bad blood between Rush and gnewt...especially when gnewt declared Reagan Conservatism d e d. I think Rush would swallow his tongue if gnewt got it, but he would support him for all the reasons you stated. Rush doesn’t need the money. He is a patriot. He has proven that time and time again, yet people still question it. I have to shake my head sometimes...
What I meant to suggest was Rush does not want to be the one who slows down the agenda of getting rid of zero in any way shape or form.
