Rush has always tended to be a bit too optimistic. Erring on the side of optimism, though, is probably preferable to the opposite. It energizes people. If he were as pessimistic as I am, his audience couldn’t stand to listen to him for three hours a day. :-)
Three hours a day, five days a week, is a lot of commenting — on the record. How many of us could do that without accumulating a long string of errors? He’s been right about many things too (as he reminds us). He hits the left hard, and provides some amusement with his humor. Without him politics in the last couple of decades would have been hard to endure.
Or lures them into complacency.
Given that Rush had a theme lasting few years that O was toast in 2012 it shouldnt be a surprise that when posters posted vanities here in OCTober demanding that Romney go hard on Bengazi that many here jumped in pointing out that Romney was winning and shouldn't take risks. It was in the bag Rush assured us. O didnt even want to win.
That is just one example.
His slut comments worked just great in Dems strategy to get out the Dem woman vote for Obama(as with Akin and CO.) .
But in his imaginary world the election was in the ‘bag’ and those folks were demoralized so why worry?
OK, so he made you feel great for a few years.
How about the day after election when reality set in ?
I am surprised there were not more suicides.
If he is right in any predictions I am sure his reasoning is wrong.
