"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."

Bush was elected in 2000, in 2002 the GOP historically added seats to the midterm Senate and House after Dubya adopted a "new tone in Washington". In 2004 Bush made 2nd term history by adding seats in the House and Senate with the same "new tone." Let us screw recent facts for Rush's poor memory about double digit inflation, unemployment, and interest rates in 1980...Let us screw recent facts for Rush's poor memory about Reagan's fond camaraderie for Tip O'Neill.

Whether Newt's poorly reported and advertised "Contract for America" contributed to the 1994 elections is also debatable. If we concede the fact Rush, is wrong 2 out of 3 times.

I love and respect Rush but he is not the final arbiter of truth and on McCain I suspect ratings and personal feelings play a bigger role than ideological honesty.

No, McCain gets treated better than he deserves by Rush.

Is El Rushbo Too Hard on McCain?

Not even slightly.
