Actually, I think Limbaugh is very intelligent, but that he panders to the Republican Party line, and is not always a consistent -or- conservative.
For example, he has been on a very good point of late on black demmy constituency..."The dems have promised blacks many things for decades, and have not delivered. They do not deserve the black vote for this reason."
Well, that argument can be used with Republicans as well. Who is the party that has promised smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, etc..??? And for decades, they haven't delivered on that promise either.
And suddenly, the polls are important, in that none of the smear tactics demms are using seem to affect Bush. But when Clinton's approval remained high thru Lewinskygate, polls were "meaningless."
An honest perspective might just note that the majority of polled Americans don't pay any attention to politics, and these polls are generally meaningless!!
It's going to take commitment and a true sense of purpose to reverse the downward spiral into socialism. And I can't think of many in the Repubican Party who can claim those virtues. But they talk the talk every election cycle.

You're right..
Most people don't digest news, they live on 10 second sound bytes, their parents politics and knee jerk reactions at the water cooler.
And, yes.. we shouldn't make such fun of the Black Dems for believeing the shameless pandering of their leaders.. We have been schnookered also.
But I think it's to a lesser degree though. We haven't had the power to change these things that the Dem's have. But we probably haven't fought for them nearly as hard as we should have either.
