typical of you whiners - your opinions are welcome - mine are not

you can criticize - i can't

i have listened to rush for 463 years and streamed his show for 422 years - that trump your opinion?

here's a hint why you don't make rush’s salary - instead of learning from success - you tell the successful what they are doing wrong

[upsdriver]

I’ve listened to Rush for years because his program lifted me up. Sad to say that Rush no longer does that as his show has become a real downer.

Thanks for that info.

Hey, she has an opinion...

Some things you just don’t want to know...

But...mom tip here...waxed paper, rubbed on a slide equals “wheeeeeee!”

Also will speed up Hot Wheels tracks.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

So what was Rush’s opinion on SSM?

I had to leave my desk for a while.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

;-)

[Vaquero]

Rush is on a roll with “I want to be an Obama” analog to gay marriage. BRILLIANT!!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

He went round and round about how the Right let the left define marriage...but the I had to answer phone. So I missed it too....maybe some one can fill in blanks.

[Yosemitest]

I've tried to listen to Rush as much as I can, but with my time in the military and then the FAA, my ability to listen has been interrupted at best.
Rush truly is a LEADER, but as time goes by, he's no more a super-human than any of us.
Yes, he's very wise, and I really do admire him, and pray for him.
But he probably gets tired, the same as us, and he probably gets depressed of having to beat the same ole' drums every day, to fight off the stupidity that comes out of today's education system.
Our current administration is EVIL, plain and simple, and Rush fights it every day.
But he can't live forever, until after Christ returns.
So others MUST take up his cause.

[Yosemitest]

It'll be printed on his web site, shortly.

[upsdriver]

I agree. I love Rush like a brother. Perhaps he is getting tired. A long vacation might be the answer.

[Yosemitest]

Maybe, but every time Rush goes on vacation, his shows ratings drop.

[relictele]

While I agree the show is becoming rudderless, I take the opposite view in that the phone calls are the worst and most boring and predictable segments of the show.

Dan in Davenport: ‘Hi Rush it’s an honor and a privilege. Thanks for taking my call. Mega general aviation 101st Airborne Eagle Scout International Harvester combine trap shooting cigar smoking dittos!’

Ugh.

Rush’s dispatching of callers is mostly a thing of the past because so few call to disagree with him. But the few who do get through are demonstrably unbalanced or simply parroting a line. But Rush doesn’t avail himself of the opportunity to shred these people and instead often falls back on the ‘seminar caller’ conspiracy theory. It’s 2013. Accepting the flimsy premise that there was an anti-Rush seminar held in this nation it must have been sometime in the 90s. That ship has sailed.

I’m with you on the repetitive nature of much of it but again after 25 years there isn’t much new under the sun. He claims that new listeners need exposure to ‘Rush’s greatest hits’ but it’s not all that productive to beat John Kerry up, despite his current job, about an election held nearly a decade ago and even less productive to put the boot into Ted Kennedy’s corpse. I would rather hear about the destruction of the very much alive Liz Warren.

But it’s horses for courses. Rush’s focus is current events and yes, that includes the media who report on them as well as the decades of slant those firms delivered. He has an axe to grind but in this case it’s entertaining for many to watch the sparks fly.

While we’re airing our grievances, my problem is the signal to noise ratio on Rush’s show. The repetitive self-congratulatory blather that bookends air segments has always been tongue-in-cheek but trim away that nonsense along with the overdone whiz-bang sound FX and you are well below 50% of the 3-hour window devoted to actual content with or without Dan from Davenport. Also problematic are broadcast segments mostly or entirely devoted to sponsors. Claims of ‘we haven’t increased our commercial load’ are simply not credible given the spoken-word endorsements for the snake oil du jour.

There are alternatives or, preferably, additions. Although I can only take him in small doses, Michael Savage addresses many of the topics you raise as well as the dark web of statism that ensnares them all. Levin usually views things through the prism of the Constitution and rightfully so. Other hosts are focused on the practical business issues you mention. For better or worse Rush probably never will because he’s focused on regulation in theory as opposed to the nonstop real-life red tape that Mom and Pop deal with.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Thx—will look for it:)

[MinuteGal]

Excellent analysis and critique of Rush's shows. I guess this makes you a whiner and smart-alec like me. I loved your second paragraph....I'm still chortling. A fellow freeper phoned and I read it to her....and she about broke up! It was picture-perfect satire.

What some folks don't get is that those who love Rush the most are those who become most nervous and voluble when he seems off his game for any period of time. We criticize in concern rather than in anger, believe me.

Who can ever take his place? Actually, no one. He's been our rock for ages. But some of us rise in righteous dismay and apprehension when we sense a certain drop in research, show prep and commentaries on things that are happening across the country and around the world NOW (other than in the tres-gay world).

But what do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.

"The Republican leadership did not allow the amendment to be considered. "
Here's the Republicans Leadership Internet Page.

John Boehner
Speaker of the House





Eric Cantor
Majority Leader





Kevin McCarthy
Majority Whip





Cathy McMorris Rodgers
House Republican Conference Chair





Greg Walden
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman





Lynn Jenkins

Virginia Foxx
House Republican Conference Secretary





James Lankford
Republican Policy Committee Chairman

Check out this link, "Senate Republicans Willfully and Knowingly Lie to Their Constituents (vote to fund Obamacare)".

The following Senators voted to pass the continuing resolution even though it still funds Obamacare.
• Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
  
  
• Sen. JohnBarrasso (R-WY)
  
  
• Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
  
  
• Sen. John N. Boozman (R-AR)
  
  
• Sen. Clarence Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
  
  
• Sen. Daniel R. Coats (R-IN)
  
  
• Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS)
  
  
• Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
  
  
• Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN)
  
  
• Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)
  
  
• Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
  
  
• Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND)
  
  
• Sen. John “Johnny” Isakson (R-GA)
  
  
• Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE)
  
  
• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
  
  
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
  
  
• Sen. Jefferson “Jeff” Sessions (R-AL)
  
  
• Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL)
  
  
• Sen. John Thune (R-SD)
  
  
• Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS)
  
  
If any one of those senators tells you they did not vote to fund Obamacare or, in fact, voted against funding Obamacare,
they are being mendacious.
They may have voted for Ted Cruz’s amendment,
but after it failed,
they still knowingly and willingly voted to fund Obamacare.
And now they are lying to their constituents who call them out on it.

Many of these same Senators are also supporting separate legislation to foist a massive tax increase on the American people.

"We Lost Once We Modified the Definition of the Word "Marriage""

[sloop]

i never said you were a ‘smart-alec’ - more loser than smart-alec - every post i have seen from you is complaining

evidently not too smart either - rush does not need advice from you - he is and continues to be successful - you are living in some delusion that you hold truth about how he should run his show - his continuing success shows you to be a fool - and instead of not listening to him - you come here to throw out your ignorance - and when called on it - run to wackjob victim status faster than a libtard

you don't get to run rush’s show - ‘love’ or not - ‘concern’ or not - rush does not see a problem - most people do not think there is a problem - the problem is in your imagination - rush would be a fool to listen to you

i don't know anyone that is interested in every topic - so glad they don't feel the need to throw out their hysteria like you

hiding it behind ‘concern’ for rush is pathetic

[relictele]

Assuming your question isn’t rhetorical...the same thing will happen in the US and the UK albeit at differing pace. The so-called center-right parties have abandoned their principles and history. They are as eager for socialist table scraps as a single mother of four.

In Britain they already have a party and a structure: UKIP. But Britain is a smaller country with more than two parties in their parliamentary system already.

The Tea Party will never be a proper political entity but there will always be a group dedicated to freedom and/or constitutional tenets. Regrettably we may not live to see its rise to challenge the status quo but its formation and growth are inevitable.

It’s not easy to write this. I am not yet one of the rabid GOP is dead types. But the Obama years have revealed far more about the Republicans that the Democrats, all of it bad. If Joe Sixpack in Boise, ID thinks his Congressman is really for smaller government then Joe needs to drive a lap around the DC Beltway where Joe can behold the gleaming New Rome. Joe will soon realize that his Congressman doesn’t want to dismantle these edifices - he wants to be the new landlord.

[Yosemitest]

I appreciate you're taking the question seriously.
Because I AM serious.
Unfortunately, every day I move closer to the thought that "IT"S OVER" until Christ returns.
To undo what has been going on since around 1850, will take a civil war.
