Conservative talk radio and TV shows have been around for quite a long time. They didn't cause the decline of the GOP. Their profile rose because the GOP declined and no one else stepped up to take the reins.

Their profile rose because only the outrageous attracts attention in our cacophony of a society. If you've listened to Rush for a while you know he gets more crazy with his claims every day.

But Brooks is right... attracting attention doesn't translate to the voting booth. These guys are sucking the Republican party dry; putting them to the right of notorious nuts like the John Birch Society. Average people are NOT GOING TO EAT THIS dog food. If the goal of the Reps is to make Rush et al rich and not get elected it's a great strategy.

It's not just bad for the Reps, it's bad for the country.
