I found it odd that Rush spouted the Democratic Party line in 1992, berating Bush Sr. for his Gulf War tax compromise and handing the election to Clinton by causing a wave of Conservatives to vote for Perot instead of Bush.I found it amusing that Rush claimed in 2000 that Hillary Clinton would NOT run for the Senate.
I found it disgusting when Rush failed to read the EPA's own document (which used the enviroNazi's own language against their global warming argument) and then extrapolated from a document which he either didn't read or couldn't understand to a Bush=Gore statement.
Not only was that wrong, but on other issues such as withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, killing the Kyoto Treaty, withdrawing from the U.S. - CCCP ABM treaty, Bush is clearly on the OPPOSITE side of the field from Gore.
Of course, Rush has an established audience and a self-marketing machine that will keep him going for some time, even though he is saying, historically, some anti-conservative things (such as those mentioned above).
But I wouldn't brag about that too much. My own analogy is that using popularity such as Rush has to convince people to overlook your intellectual flaws is a lot like the smart girl who "plays dumb" so that more boys will like her. But that's the most flattering option. The other choice is that Rush played a deliberate hand in Clinton's 1992 election, something that I'm not entirely ready to support...
