I think that with most of you, this president could announce a tax increase today and you'd think that it was great, you wouldn't criticize it and you'd say something like, "Well, yeah we're in a war, got to raise taxes," You'd come up with some sort of a means to support it. If I questioned it, you'd have at me.

I like Rush, and listen to him almost everyday... I heard this statement...and thought it was rather silly and defensive.

He's using the same carbon copy liberal cliche that anyone who doesn't agree with his criticisms of Bush, must therefore be a brain-washed robot who would defend anything Bush does.
It's a childish argument.

Does Rush know something about a tax increase? :> )

I agree, Jorge. It is a childish argument. Rush of all people should know he should stick to debating the merits of the criticism/issue, not stoop to whining, "You Bushbots will support anything."

That only goes to his supposed divination of the motive or integrity of those who disagree with him, not to why he thinks his position his better founded than that of his critics.
