Rushbo is wrong on Perry and I wish he would man up to it!
And Santorum? Like everyone else, no other candidate had a plan and then he does his childlike 000 plan. That's not President material in my mind. The main thing that Santorum finds ridiculous about Cain is that, “It Should Have Been Me”.
Rushbo is wrong on Perry and I wish he would man up to it!
In my opinion, Rush has one foot planted in the past, and one foot planted in the present. I believe that Perry appeals to his 20th century, old school political thinking. Perry has all the trappings of a 'big man' in the Republican party, and would have likely been a cinch to win the nomination 20 years ago.
What Rush is unsure of, is his footing in the politics of the 21st century. Although he's seen and commented upon the citizen rebellion known as the Tea Party, I don't believe he fully trusts The People to choose a non-establishment, rebel leader, for their president.
In my opinion, this is why he completely missed the historic importance of Sarah Palin. He said the other day on his show that he never thought she'd run for president (although any honest observer would admit that she clearly was doing so). He only commented on this because a caller took him to task for never mentioning the fact that Palin had just made it known that she wasn't running.
The fact that he didn't consider her announcement newsworthy enough to mention, tells me how disconnected he is from the current mindset of average Americans, who are looking for a revolutionary leader, and taking a pass on the usual crop of establishment types.
We'll see whether he finally finds his footing in the revolutionary politics of the present or not. In the end, he's just a commentator (albeit a very influential one).
