Guys, Rush is a patsy.
Rush will stand up for Bush no matter what. Savage is a pure conservative. He jumps on Bush for the border, he jumps on Bush for not levelling with us when he needs to. He jumps on Bush for not calling fascism for what it is. He jumps on Bush for his minor flip-flops.
Rush is Bush's poodle. Savage rocks. Sometimes Savage knocks on Bush for ridiculous things, but still, he calls it like it is.
Rush will beat around the bush, period.
I will give it to Rush for picking the liberals apart, but aside from that, I don't know.
I like Doc Savage & all of them but agree that RUSH is pure republican. I want people talking about the border. I want to hear justification for GW to go to Bubba's Library Opening. I not convinced that Condi should head State, etc. I get that from a nonpartisan - True conservative such as Savage. The battle for this nation is either we become France or back to our pure capitalism & schmoozing with the enemy shows acceptance, which the libs do NOT do.
Aptly put. There was a time btw when Rush would routinely skewer RINOs along with, of course, the democrats. Rush even briefly supported Pat Buchannan for president in 1992.
I gave up listening to the RNC Windbag years ago when he dropped any pretense of being an independently minded conservative and rolled over for the powers that be in the Republican Party. Everything he views is through the prism of republicanism i.e. Repubs=always right and good, Demos=always wrong and bad.
While the latter is certainly true to a great extent, the former requires Rush to downplay/ignore the very liberal things this administration has involved itself in like the creation of monstrous new social entitlements, Bush's wanton open borders agenda, and enactment of One Sided Trade deals with mercantilist nations under the guise of free trade. To name a few.
There's so many Red Meat conservative issues that Rush won't go near with a 10 foot pole which Savage takes on with gusto. Rush's refusal to discuss the pressing issues of day because it may embarrass Bush and the GOP leadership is why his show is boring. And it doesn't help that he likes to brag about himself endlessly. This stick may have been funny 10 years ago. That he carries on with such self-effacing Pomposity is a sign of his deep insecurity.
