Odd as he might be sometimes, Michael Savage has been critical of Republicans who don't act conservative for a long time now. Why should we listen to Rush if for all this time, he was "carrying water for people who didn't deserve it"
Savage has been screaming for leadership from the Republicans for months and month. He was critized by many on FR as not being a team player.
Because I like Rush, and I can't stand Savage. It's not all about the issues. Rush did what he did to help the team. Savage says what he says to get attention.
