You make an excellent point regarding steroid use in auto immune disorders. Can't tell you how many times, I wondered that myself. I know Rush complained of the bloating effects,pre surgery- I do not know if steroids are given post implant, but one of the side effects of long term prednisone use is a an altered personality.But, there is no doubt in any of the minds of the large group of ex listeners that I know-Rush has definitely had a personality change and it seemed to coincide with his ear surgery. He's flat out mean, now.
I believe that Rush talked about receiving steroid therapy and what it was doing to him. You may have something with the steroids.
I listened to Rush today because I had a flu bug and was unable to move anyway. lol Today, he was making logical points instead of acting like Bush did something to him personally. Maybe the steroids have given him mood swings and when he's having one, he rants without thinking first.
I support President Bush because he is a Christian man, he's an objective man. It's the wrong time to say that Bush has flipped flopped. I don't see that he has on the big issues. Let's face it. We have this war on terrorism and he "hasn't sold out" as he's been accused of.
He doesn't have high approval ratings because he's a bad president. For the big picture, I think he's got that covered. Of course, real right wingers will never be satisfied. By the way, we can't forget that the armed services respect this Commander In Chief too.
I don't understand what the Farm Bill was about at all but, so what about global warming. Don't scientists always agree to disagree? Whenever Dubya agrees to disagree, he gets flamed. Makes no sense to me. Is he not allowed to change his mind - ever? Regards, FV
