Yes I do, and I know it's easy to back-seat drive and Monday morning quarterback, especially anonymously on the internet.

I see Limbaugh's success in two parts: 1) reward for taking the vanguard in conservativism and influencing politics and leadership in our direction, and 2) an investment in ensuring the sustainability of this.

There is no doubt that Limbaugh has been successful in mobilizing Republicans by pioneering the AM radio medium to counter the MSM.

But people invested in Limbaugh by supporting his show, supporting his sponsors, supporting his charities, and supporting the knock-offs that Limbaugh inspired.

Now they're looking to him to make due on that investment, and that means sometimes putting aside the stories of golf trips on private jets, smoking cigars with world leaders, and other fruits of his success, and sometimes getting dirty again and paying back the hard returns on that investment to those who expected it when necessary.

We see in hindsight how necessary a time the 2008 election was. The 2010 election was a necessary time. The 2012 election is too consequential to be cavalier about it now.

The NY-26 special election should be a wake-up call on how serious the Democrats are taking all the elections, now including state judicial elections. We need to mobilize all our forces, too, to close the gaps for 2012 that are being shown to us now.

We don't have many leaders who are today in a position to do this now. We only have the few people that we invested in to be in place now to do this.

and imposing a heavy responsibility on him that belongs on our shoulders

Heavy responsibility? It would have taken one part of one segment to bring up the NY-26 and the fake Tea Party candidate, equal to the time it takes for him to talk about the latest fad in pervert world.

I am honestly getting tired of this kind of discussion. It is like saying that it is only Paul Ryan's responsibility to get out there and spread the message. Nobody needs to rally around him, nobody needs to replay his remarks. The messages need to get spread somehow and what better way than from the mouth of Rush.

Many on here devote quite a bit of time to current event research, but the large majority of Americans hear one blip on a subject and if told it is good for them, they believe it is good for them. If they are told it will cause them pain, they believe it will cause them pain. And if heard that Plan A, which will cause much pain, is the Republican plan, they believe it and move on.
