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

I'm not saying that Limbaugh is doing it wrong, I'm saying there are key gaps that he's uniquely in a position to address, and that he's in that position because we put him there.

Let's also look at the 2006 election. The Democrats took over because of a few key messages:

1. Republicans losing their way, no doubt about that.

2. Democrats hammering on the Mark Foley race in Florida, having held back incriminating, offensive (but not illegal) texts to former House pages, until just 10 weeks before the election. Then, using the Mark Foley incident, they tainted the entire House GOP leadership as being enablers of child molesters. How was the voting public not led to use a single House race in Florida to throw out the entire GOP and put Nancy Pelosi in charge? One example was the "Don't Vote" ads by the AARP to subliminally suggest that people stay home and not bother to vote.

3. Democrats running faux conservatives in conservative districts, and then getting Republicans to vote for them.

I'll agree with you that today, people have come to see what they did wrong in 2006, and the wave threw out the faux conservative Democrats that they installed in 2006. It took more than clear messages to do that in 2010, though. It also took those faux conservative Democrats to side with the majority over their stated principles in ramming through the health care legislation against the population's wishes.

But I'm not convinced yet that the public has grown past being led by slick messages.
