I don't think anyone thinks he's a Hamilton.
Our founding fathers would have been appalled at political talk radio - letting the mob voice an opinion without reasoned debate and discussion.
They signed on to an amendment guaranteeing that very thing.
That's why they created a Republic with an Electoral College to keep the rabble and their talk show like ramblings out of the political process.
I'm sure Rush is a big fan of the EC and the Republic. I'm a bit partial to 'em myself.
The Founding Fathers were compromisers - accommodators of all issues - Rush ever compromises on an issue?
Possibly on his contract, but I have no inside knowledge.
They signed on to an amendment guaranteeing that very thing.
Yup. And would have viewed as rabble rousers men like Rush to be kept at arms length from teh political process. I am sure George Washington - who warned us against partisan politics - would have shunned him.
Rush's demagoguery (which I enjoy) has more in common with the democratic traditions of Athens then the republican ideals of our Fathers.
