I remember Rush telling me in 1996 that Dole was catching fire and will beat Clinton.
I’m glad I’ve graduated from AM talk radio. I dont even know how people keep subjecting themselves to people that still use a medium like it is still 1995, and think they have any influence.
Well it is on a long slow fade.
You can tell from the advertisers...obscure stuff...huckabee diabetes plan...precious metals...etc.
I have noticed a totally different Rush these last few months.
Maybe he is losing in the ratings so he is stoking people. I just don’t remember him being so nutty. He does not make sense. A few weeks ago Rush was questioning something Trump said about healthcare coverage when Trump said he did not want to deny people healthcare if they were dying in the streets.
I understood what Trump was saying which is basically that if someone is in dire need of treatment that there should be a way for people to be treated properly.
Rush said of Trump’s comment that he was not reading anywhere of anyone dying in the streets from inadequate healthcare coverage. He simply did not see evidence of this. Rush was totally delusional about this. There are people dying as we speak of inadequate healthcare or no healthcare. I have read of people needing treatment for cancer who have been denied and summarily died.
Rush said that you can walk into any emergency room and get treated. That is totally false. If you do not have an insurance card it is not unusual to wait over 18 hours to see a doctor and even then they will patch you up with the minimum and throw you back out which is not treatment.
Someone I knew had no healthcare coverage. He was a contractor in chronic pain and was taking way too many pain killers. He was on a job in California and became very ill. They took him to the emergency room where he waited the 18 hours. He was found to have a hole in his stomach. He was given pain killers and released.
The next day he came home here in Arizona and died. That is the kind of free healthcare Rush assures us where people do not die in the streets.
Rush is making the most bizarre comments these days and that is why if I turn him on I only can listen 10 minutes. He is no longer interesting the way he used to be.
I listen when I’m in the car.
