That came as Americans were fighting and dying in Iraq, so the stakes were slightly higher than they are today when we wonder whether the president will succeed in his attempts to federalize the health care system.

This is just plain not true.

A federalized health system will kill more Americans in a week than the worst year of the Iraq war. Now they will be older, more infirm and possibly handicapped, but there will be lots and lots of people going to premature death under the leadership of the One.

>It’s unclear why anyone would support, for example, the socialization of health care. It hasn’t worked in the U.K. or Canada, so why import it?

because it will destroy our economy.

You know what is weird - AM Radio was dying and heading towards dinosaur status until Rush breathed life into AM radio.

Radio is in a very interesting state right now. Companies on the verge of collapse. There will be changes, and AM may still die. Not because of their failure, but because the successful AM programming of News/Talk/Sports will all shift into FM to take the place of music stations that are no longer viable as young people stop listening to the radio for music.

"No republican president will have the guts to gut the federal government."

Then we need someone from outside the GOP, someone with the guts to risk being a one-term President, if it means righting the ship of state and putting us back on the right heading.

Rush makes 30 million a year and is his own man doing what he likes. Why have to give that up for 4 years for 1% of the pay when he can lead conservatives and not ruin his life.

I have to disagree here!

Remember, with news, talk radio and sports, you don't need the high quality sound so necessary for music. As such, with can get with the limited audio quality of AM because unlike FM, AM signals travel well beyond line of sight, which means you can hear the signal well over 100 miles from the transmitter site in daytime and often thousands of miles from the transmitter at night. (Indeed, for many years one reason why the St. Louis Cardinals had so many fans was the fact KMOX's radio signal literally blanketed the entire Midwest with its 50,000 watt signal.)

In short, FM is literally dying, while AM will continue to flourish because of its long range transmitting capability.
