With all due respect, that sounds like echo chamber thinking.

Like you, I am aware of the issues and don't need to hear it from someone else to keep me informed.

But I do believe that people like us are far less a population than we may think.

I do believe that the mass of voters do wait to be told what to think. The numbers are too large to suggest otherwise. There were almost 120 million votes cast for president in 2008, one-third of the US population.

Even if the MSM ratings suggest that only a few million households watch those shows, combined with newspapers, magazines, and comedy shows, people are waiting to be told what to think.

Yes, they do but they aren't listening to Rush or other programs. That's where you and I come in. We go out into the communities and use our influence to educate others. If someone around me spouts some inane comment, I set them straight. Most of them have what I call "bar stool intelligence". It's usually based on what they heard from some other uninformed individual. Those folks are easy to convince but you have to do it with patience and a smile. Conservatism and it's virtues is an easy product to sell, if it is done properly.

I'm not gonna attack your passion as you have proven it

However your insistence that Rush is doing it wrong falls on deaf ears

and your bam bam point that the voting public is led and not dependable is undocumented too

the 2010 midterm elections prove your theory is bullshit

those that voted in majority are as smart, educated, and as pissed off as you

67 percent of America dumped the democrats like a dog squattin a turd, even for elected dogcatchers
