I agree with this Barman. Its all about ratings and if your audience is into gay sex then you better tlak about it. If your audience is into partisan politics and are people that aren't too bright, then you better play the part. Rush isnt about Republicanism....hes about Rush making cheddar.

Well the problem with that is that born again white evangalicals are more than half their base. According to one report those retards made up 25 percent of people voting last week.
If Repubs abandon those people, they might as well close up shop.
They kinda have to keep doing what they've been doing (promise tax cuts and pander to the religious base) and hope the Dems fuck up (which they will) and the pendulum will swing back eventually
Heck Dems dont even have to mess up (Bill Clinton did alright), yet the pendulum will swing back after a little time has passed and people calm down
The Repubs have one major thing in their favor is that their base will turn out more reliable than the Dem's

HUH??
Did you ever hear of Colin Powell? How about Condi Rice?? Or Mel Martinez??? Or Elaine Chao?
It's not that Republicans exclude minorities. For most minorities, it's the other way around. And that's because most minorities have been brainwashed into thinking that Government is the answer to everything.
I didn't know putting two sentences together stating the obvious was scholarly? I mean coming from someone who adds NOTHING to any conversation here, i can see why your impressed with me and think im "scholarly". Also, as far as stocking vending machines goes, you must be thinking of fellow poliforum poster "TheRightSide" who owns a vending machine company. I know you think thats an insult but i would argue that TRS works very hard and started a small business so why knock a guy like that? I mean what do you do besides embarrass yourself on here? So for the record, you will admit that what Rush says is suspect and he is only parroting the information his listeners want to hear, rather then objective information he claims to be dispensing? :lolBIG:
Hey, at least you know your getting propaganda shoved down your throat, so thats half the battle.

It's not about losers. Personally I never liked McCain and I just chose not to vote. In a way he represented Bush's policies of drifting whichever way the wind blows, not so hard for a guy abandoning conservative principles he never held. If you are looking for reasons among conservatives why Rush did what he did, I just gave you the biggest one.
Say what you want about Palin but to me she represented a fresh new voice and she has a future in the party. Exit the old "neocons" bullwark of the party and she's got clear sailing. I could never grasp their direction in the first place. Changes are about to happen in the party and I welcome them.
I hate to admit it but what a huge gaping chasm comparing Obama's personality to McCain. Nonetheless true. Obama is likeable and eloquent. It's hard not to like a guy like him but I truly think he needs to come down to earth with many of his idealistic principles that just won't work out. You cannot fight wall street and expect unemployment to get better. That's the first issue and it's about our economy... but I wish him well for all of our sakes.
and how many votes do you think were based on religious issues that were never discussed?
The only time religion hit the airwaves, at the Values Conference, McCain received a bump.
This is a false issue, almost non-existent this year, the only time it was an issue in 2008 the results are the polar opposite of what you're suggesting.
So, you don't feel the relegious right currently hurts the republican party? (An honest question)
As someone pointed out, the republicans NEED this base. I agree with that. But I feel their shananigans have hurt the RP overall the last 4 years.
Not every RR pub is as well thought out and intelligent as you Willie. In fact you seem to be the exception rather than the rule with these folks.
Republicans dont "need" that base. This is the exact same mistake john mccain made in picking sarah palin to appease this exact same base.
So how far exactly did this pandering to the retard bible thumping morons help mccain?
Let us supposed Mccain had actually done the right thing and some one actually competent and no where near retarded as palin
was this albatross base going to vote for OBAma? The answer is a simple no!
No one needs a base when they are already knee deep in your pocket!!!
You think i was over board calling that stupid woman calling OBama an Arab a retarded bible thumping moron?
Do you think i was overboard calling those morons in the mccain camp sending out email saying Obama was the antichrist retarded?
Or may be that rat bastard buffoon joe the plumer who said OBama's election would mean the death of Israel?
Was i too harsh? really?:monsters-
