I understand.

I have my theory as to why Rush was able to wake up Americans enough to take the House for the first time in literally 6o years, and also why we eventually lost back the advantage we had.

Not all of it has to do with Bush’s liberal social moves, nor his inability to fight back, and the unexcitable way this guy speaks has a lot to do with it.

Follow me, it makes more sense than you think.

When Rush came on the scene nationally, all the local markets wanted to up get a local guy to help their ratings on Am radio also. For the first time in flyover country, Americans were hearing the truth on a national, level, and on the local level.

In the town I live in Chico Ca. for the first time ever, the conservatives took control of the city council. We are talking a bout a town that passed a resolution that banned nuclear weapons in its area. back in the latec”70”s the federal government, under carter, removed four nukes from silos outside of town because of it. that is how liberal Chico is. The county is more conservative, but not the town.

The difference was Bruce sessions, a local talk show guy who rallied the local conservatives to what was going on locally, just as Rush did nationally. Bruce came on at noon right after Rush. He was on the radio for about 6 years.

Then the local radio stations realized that they could bring in a syndicated talker off satellite who talked national news, than it was to pay a local guy who was limited to the area locally. So now, instead of Bruce talking of local politics to keep the locals on top of things, we now had Sean Hannity, Micheal Medved, Michael savage, we even had Michel Reagan for awhile, and others who all talked about national politics.

Thus, in town after town, and community after community across America in flyover country, and even in some mid sized cities, the locals went back to sleep and stopped getting involved.

The year after Bruce was replaced the conservatives lost the city of Chico Council back to the liberals and we have not had it since. I understand that not all people are rush, and there are local radio stations that have real good talkers who keep large audiences, and they are still on the air. Well many are, but even some of them have been replaced by talkers who grab a larger share of the audience.

Sadly, we lost all across America, and Obama along with the Democrats taking the House and Senate are a ,large part of that. I do agree that bush did not help, because he refused to fight the enemies here in America. After all, the advertising dollars are going to follow the one who get huge audiences.

So here we are 20 years after the revolution Rush led, dieing a slow death all across America in places like Chico and other midsize cities that are much bigger.

I like this guy’s knowledge, but I bet you that he gets less than half the listeners today as they do with someone like Mark Stien (sp?) filling in. So what good is his touching on topics Rush may miss if the audience isn’t there because of his delivery.

I hope this made sense.
