Rush has not helped a single Republican get elected to public office using his radio program. He neturalizes the public with his Republican grandstanding and gives the party a bad image. Once a person hears all of his opinions they think all Republicans think like he does. He is the Pat Buchannon of the air waves, a spoiler. He splits the party with his nonsence. The ultra rightwing citizen becomes a swing vote that hurts the opportunity of electing a Republican President. Unless Rush changes his antics, we will have Gore for president. Actually, I think Rush is a spoiler who is not a real Republican at all but a closet Democrat masquerading as a Republican to swing votes to the Democrats by his big mouth.
Long live the republic, but without FIB (Failure In Broadcasting) Rush.
