No!
McCain earned a severe ass kicking...
No he is not being hard on McCain. The fact is McCain has real baggage and it is better that McCain learns how to answer it properly now than when the dems pick their caididate and the MSM targets both barrels onto McCain.
You think the stuff Rush is bringing up is too tough? Wait until the MSM goes full bore on his ass. McCain needs to start developing ways to deal with genuine issues that WILL be brought up by people who will give absolutely no quarter.
Rush is one of the reasons we have McCain. He spent more than a year obsessing on the Dems and, particularly, Hillary Clinton. I got so fed up hearing about Dems, hearing interviews with Dems, and hearing Dem callers that I finally quit listening to him.
Rush could have given a good forum to different conservative candidates - but he didn’t. McCain is an awful candidate, and the fact that Rush is now just shrugging and telling us to pick between three awful candidates really destroys whatever respect I had for him.
The only mistake RUSH made was not reminding the rest of the US of the as “Moderate” Arnold Sawrtzennegger as govenator of Calif and the boondoggle it caused conservatives to suffer...
No!When Osamabama beats the gringo Nasty McPain’s tail in November Rush will say See I told you So. It will be time for another Rush book in 2009.
Good arguments.
“I am befuddled. The Republican Party has three recent examples of how to win huge landslides and change the direction of this country: two landslides in ‘80 and ‘84 and taking over the House in 1994, and the party has abandoned it for whatever reason, and now we’re seeking to expand our party by becoming like liberals and Democrats.”
...Gosh, see what this guy is saying?...Doesn't that feel like a kick in the nu** to you?...It does feel that way to me... And it hurts... It really annoys me when they take me for a brainless, docile, gullible piece of meat :)
You Quit listening? You are not a conservative....
there you go again, giving too much credit to Rush. If any of the “more conservatives” were worth a damn (as a candidate) they would have made a difference themselves. It fell into his lap, he kept saying he was running a “clean campaign” and he went to florida and got nasty. Then the media proclaimed he had the momentum and HE was the only would could beat a dem in november. as soon as the dem is nominated mccain will get his due back from the media.
Every now and then, Rush allows a real dwebe to relegate his show to irrelevance.
After the debacle of 2006 Rush plainly said that he wasn’t going to carry water for these guys anymore ,if they’re conservative he would support them but Rush like many of us here isn’t going to march in lock step just because there is an “R” after the name.I agree with Rush, McCocaine is running to the left to get the dem vote and he just assumes he will get the conservatives because after all where they gonna go?He pulls the party to the left and the drive bys all gasp at how the Republicans have really matured under McCocaine’s leadership and marvel at what a great statesman he is since he won’t put any controversial nominees to the federal bench .Lindsey Graham or Arlen Specter for the Supreme Court anyone?
Mr Favor always brings the herd in.
I keep pondering what is worse--an anti-conservative Dem president who has to deal with Republicans, or an anti-conservative RINO who'll sell out Republicans to make deals with Democrats to promote his own image. It keeps coming up worse with the RiNO, in my mind.
No. Rush is remaining true to his principles and I think what he says is fair. Also, he doesn’t stay on one topic for the whole show.
There is another talk show host who is a broken record as far as bashing McCain is concerned. It has gotten so monotonous that I just turn him off. But Rush isn’t like that.
Yeah, McCain's one to talk being the son and grandson of admirals and marrying into money in order to fund his political ambitions. The reality is that the only reason McCain has been involved in "public service" is that it's the only job he could get due to his incompetence at just about everything he ever did. If his ancestors hadn't been big-shots in the military he'd be selling insurance somewhere.
McCain is an idiot liberal, along with being a gigolo like JF'nK
He never had any conservatives on his show or even paid them much attention. It was all Dems, all the time.
Rush is not being hard enough.I actually think he’s being quite diplomatic,espechially with the stunts McCain has pulled over the years.
