I remember back in '08 when he played clips of Romney and told his audience, "Folks, this is not conservatism." I've heard him criticize Romney often. We ALL know that Romney's politics are the antithesis of conservatism, and Rush claims that Rush is the ultimate conservative. Yet if he WAS, he'd be like Thomas Sowell and state plainly that between Romney and Gingrich, OBVIOUSLY Gingrich is the best choice.
Therefore, Rush's inability to reject a clearly statist, anti-conservative Romney, although he does criticize him, must be outside the realm of politics. IT MUST HAVE TO DO WITH SOMETHING PERSONAL. My own theory is that Rush has a hard-core inferiority complex when it comes to Big Finance Wealth figures like Romney and as evidenced in Rush's own behavior talking about being around the Rockefellers (somebody referenced it upthread).
That's my theory, anyway. Your mileage may vary.
That’s possible. Certainly, Rush does enjoy his hobnobbing with the rich and famous, and he never misses an opportunity to remind us how wealthy he is. It could have something to do with insecurity.
But whatever is the cause of it, I feel at the very least that he’s losing his focus and putting less thought and research into what he says. Maybe he’s tired of the whole thing and just wants to hang out at the golf course with the Rockefellers and his latest wife or something...
