Rush has lost me permanently. I don't care whether he thinks he is principled, or whether he is a dupe, or whether he is a Kristolian. It doesn't matter.

Regardless of his motives, he embarked on a course that was destructive to the administration. We are at war. He is a fool.

I can name 20 people on this forum who have a better grasp of politics and foreign affairs than Rush Limbaugh. I am done with him. Period. Finis. The end.

If he he had no respect for Free Republic or disliked us, he would treat us like irrelevancies - and not mention us at all.

No, mentioning someone in an insulting way is not a sign of respect. It's a sign of insult.

Gall? 12 million listeners? I assure you the White House has people assigned to listen to Rush, if not Bush himself.

And the G.W. Algore was hillarious

Rush is feeling the heat from O'Reilly that is why he pulled the Algore stunt.

I didn't like it either but Rush is still a valuable asset to the cause.

Here are a few question for Rush critics.

1. Will Rush be helpful or hurtful to the efforts to get a GOP House and Senate in 2004?

2. Can anyone document any significant drop in his audience ratings in the last few months?

3. What specific policy position of Rush do you disagree with?

Well, send him some love mail. According to Rush himself 90% or more of his email from FReepers is hate mail. If not for bashing Bush, then for not bringing up the WOD, or Vince Foster......

I disagree....

How many times more are you going to sit back while Rush insults people here before you turn him off???

I have been Rush free for months and proud of it!!!

Hey Limbaugh.....look in the rearview mirror I think O'Reilly is gaining on you!!!

I had no clue that so many feathers were ruffled over GW Algore. I LMAO at it. It pushed the point quite nicely.

If Limbaugh is an asset to conservatives, why was his Bush/AlGore comment highlighted on NBC News last night? Are you trying to tell me that Brokaw has come over to our side?

Limbaugh probably contributed to the defeat of Bush 41 with his ranting about the tax increase, IGNORING the democrat blackmail over the Gulf War.

Listen if you want. I am done with someone who supposedly is so knowledgable about politics. I can name 20 Freepers who are better informed and wiser than Rush. Pfui.

Rush seems to be trying to appeal to a new audience at the President's expense IMO

I don't always agree with Rush .. and that is ok

I also don't have a problem saying things about the President that are funny .. Jay Leno has had some funny lines

BUT

The stunt the other day about George W. AlGore was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line

Make the first question apply to 2002, not 2004.

If he doesn't stop knee-jerking and grandstanding, he will be hurtful.

2. Can anyone document any significant drop in his audience ratings in the last few months?

Only anecdotally--I quit listening earlier this year.

3. What specific policy position of Rush do you disagree with?

His habit of shooting his mouth off prior to ascertaining the facts. The fact that he now believes the NYT is gospel truth in place of his previous skeptical stance.

The Bush/into/algore thing was unforgiveable.

However, maybe I'll forgive him someday, but it will be a while.

Ironically, Rush talked about Bush losing his base and I think maybe Rush is losing his base. I was definitely a member of his base for many years and he's on right now, and I'm not listenin'.

Actually, I will never listen to him again. The George W. Algore thing was the last straw, as well as the morph on his web site.

Well, it took you long enough to see through the old El Rushbo windbag, Marple.
But it's good to see you finally coming around!!!
Congratulations!!!

Go Pat Go!!!
