It's been my experience that as people get too far removed from "the street," that their tone becomes more agressive and their "solutions" become more radical and less practical.
Likewise, the ever-angry Dittoheads don't want to remind themselves that while Rush was on the air claiming that Hillary would NOT run for Senate in 2000, that Southack was on FR saying that she would.
Now Rush wants to claim that Bush has turned to the Left.
Nonsense! The Left would never have killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global warming or pulled the U.S. out of the International Criminal Court, much less deep-sixed the Soviet-U.S. ABM Treaty, yet Bush did all of that and more.
What liberal would have appointed Ashcroft and Olsen to the DOJ? Those two just wrote to the Supreme Court stating that the OFFICIAL U.S. government position is that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right, not a collective right.
But has Rush picked up on these Conservative moves? Of course not. You can't get your listeners all enraged if you tell them that our elected officials are moving things our way. Nor are those listeners very likely to be open-minded about the truth after they've been enraged by someone whom they look up to.
That's quite a disservice, all for mere ratings.
NOTE TO RUSH: making money is easy. You don't have to sell out your principles to make it hand over fist, and selling out those principles AFTER you've made decent money is an even bigger character flaw.
