I used to think that ole Rush was the cat's meow. I would rearrange my schedule as much as possible to listen to him. That ended when Bush became president. He proved beyond a reasonable doubt that his loyalty was NOT to smaller government, the Constitution or the founding fathers, but instead to the Redpublicrat side of the two party fraud.
With the size of his audience and his influence, if Rush had spent half the time slamming Bush and the Republicrats as he did Clinton and the Democans, the eight years of liberal spending and police state infrastructure emplacement brought upon America by Bush might have been curtailed. Instead, he spent eight years acting as if the Democans were still in charge of the government.
I'll not wish death upon Rush, but neither will I be sad to see him go if he dies.
