Spot on, b9!

To use an old phrase, I didn’t leave Rush, he left me.

I got sick of him trying to push Santorum down my throat.

Newt Gingrich is too smart for him, just like you opined.

I got sick of him trying to push Santorum down my throat.

Yet, in the past 24 hours, at least 40 FReepers have complained that Rush is trying to push Romney down their throats.

And 15 or 20 have complained that he has been unduly favorable toward Gingrich.

It's remarkable, really, what people can read into his statements.

In the interest of full disclosure, my reading of his pronoucements is a.) he'll support whatever candidate survives the Republican nominating process, b.) he'd rather that candidate be somebody other than Romney, meaning that c.) Santorum and Gingrich would both be acceptable.

But, what the hell, everybody's got an opinion.

Perfect old phrase! If the shoe fits, polish it.

It's like sibling rivalry, isn't it (at least on Rush's part.)

Newt is ever gracious, so is Sowell.

Newt is both gracious AND tenacious. What a combo!
