As in ... loss of listenership?
It's interesting to note that here on FR, the daily Rush program threads aren't nearly as robust as they used to be. I don't know how I feel about that. Was talking the other day about how in sports, such as swimming or skiing, it really helps to see film of yourself because you see things you're doing wrong that you're not aware of. Seeing it, you correct it and then perform better, whether it's sports or swimming.
A smart person I was talking to observed: "Rush is kind of like the skier who can't see himself and fix what he's doing wrong."
The last straw was when he blew off Palin's annoucement not to run and blabbed about Jobs for three hours. What a candyass.
Just now caught this statement of yours on another thread, the Rush thread the day after election. You wrote, RE vote fraud:
What would happen if we REFUSED to vote in unsecured elections which don’t require voter ID? Until that happens, I’m not voting anymore. Period.
It's definitely coming down to a wire. We either surrender to being ruled over by a minority that has seized power, or we restore honest elections. I wish Rush had the balls to lead the charge.
As in ... lack of interest, mostly on Rush's part.
He's always said he will continue only as long as he enjoys it, and I think his enjoyment is diminishing. He seems forced, his guest hosts aren't very engaging, and he's obviously not interested in taking a leadership role against vote fraud.
His internal monitoring probably already shows a shrinking viewership, so he'll likely retire before too long.
