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.

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.

Wrong. The democraps pulled and operation CHAOS on the Republicans before we could pull one on them.

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.

Verses what? Not enough LArry Craig? Bush border policy? Rush's problem was that not one conservative wanted the job and he knew (like myself) that Thompson was a phony and not serious about wanting the job! Our party was screwed no matter who we chose! McCain was the Democraps crossover chance and they selected him.

Rush’s ‘principles’ only recently erupted. Where was he in 96, when Bob Dole ran? Dole never met a government handout he didn’t like!

I especially like where Rush just about comes out and says he’s really working for the GOP and McCain RIGHT NOW, and—as he has often been accused of being—is only “principled” for the dough. “If I endorsed McCain, why, the left would suddenly hate him and I’d lose my audience!” I think Rush demonstrated why he’s sticking with his ‘principles’ right there. He’d lose his RNC invite to the Lincoln bedroom, and he’d lose a small fortune in ad revenue if he didn’t.

The reason he didn't is because none of them came to bow in his presence and ask for his blessings. Rush is irrelevant in this election and his ego has been bruised. So, he's acting up by backing Hillary and denigrating McCain as his way of "I'll show you".

Rush is becoming a pain in the a** with his ego, almost as much as Hillary with hers.

For some so called "conservatives" obsessing on a party that idealizes socialism and atheism is a waste of time...
Let us go after a Christian war hero!!! That is what conservatism is all about!
