I too know a lot of people ( including my husband and meself ), who have stopped listening as much, if not totally to Rush , due to his rants

Any doubt Rush was 'right' all those years you were listening and enjoying? Yet now he is challenging your set of beliefs about one man and suddenly he is wrong?

No, Rush is not wrong. Rush is right as usual. Rush will be conservative til death. Bush?

This is it exactly, IMO. I'm sure you've heard of the 30/30/40 idea in politics: 30% Democrat, 30% Republican, and 40% swing voters. Well, I think we're seeing the second thirty percent here: Bush can do no wrong, because he has to have a Very Good Reason for whatever he does...and then they go out and find a Very Good Reason, though not necessarily a true one.

I honestly once thought that only the liberals were mindlessly attached to their politicians, but I've come to see I was wrong. The concept that people don't want to admit they were wrong, even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary, is more universal than I thought.

The Bush presidency has taught me a lot about human nature.
