“If anything in the years since the size of the movement has gotten smaller”

BS. Who do you think you’re talking to anyway, a bunch of ignoramuses??

Rush educated and woke up millions of people who otherwise did not even knew what the term ‘conservative’ was.

Well maybe you were asleep politically in the years before Rush started his show. Plenty of us weren’t and that’s why and how Reagan won the nomination and the Presidency. He wasn’t the choice of the GOPe.

Conservatives used to rely on magazines and newsletters to stay informed and organize in the years before the Conservative Entertainment Media Complex invented itself. Rush is a founding member of that entertainment complex. But he was never a conservative activist and he didn’t even bother to vote.

In the years following Reagan the GOP never nominated another conservative for President and Rush played waterboy for the Bush faction. Pretty hard to back the claim that the conservative movement got stronger thanks to Limbaugh.
