Someone has to be the captain of a ship, true. But a ship with all captains won't go very far. I dare say Rush Limbaugh has done a great deal for conservatism without ever running for office. That's not his role.

Why haven't you won a political office? Why aren't you President right now? If Rush is a loser for not running for office, what does that make you? Spare me the excuses. I guess your role is as a whiner.

May I, GilGil?
ad hominem (`to the man’)
Tu quoque Latin for, “you also”) or the appeal to hypocrisy is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the validity of the opponent’s logical argument by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).

Tu quoque “argument” follows the pattern:

Person A makes claim X.
Person B asserts that A’s actions or past claims are inconsistent with the truth of claim X.
Therefore X is false.

Or, because you have not delivered upon the things politicians have failed to deliver, you cannot be heard to complain;
Or, if your french fries are cold, go back in the kitchen and cook them yourself.

Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t claim to be the know it all of conservatism like Limbaugh and Levin. They are the preachers no for close to two decades and do not have much to show for it. If conservatism is so hot they need to run for office and show us how it is done but they have not. Now that they have made it and are making tons of money they will stay where it is safe.

Limbaugh has said many many times that conservatism wins every time when you try it. If this is such a shoo in Limbaugh needs to get out there and risk himself except he will not.

Limbaugh is having a meltdown because he is afraid of losing his audience. That is his game. He needs to get out there and lead but he won’t. He would lose too much money. So would Levin and Hannity.

Get real!
