Re: "The reason you're so deluded is you listen to Rush Limbaugh" No, I scarcely ever hear a word from him. You've taken a leap here and may be self-deluded. Re: "Limbaugh NEVER tells the truth." Off the deep end here as never is a long time. Re: "Even when he says something true, he's leaving out the other side of the argument." You mean, I presume(since your premise is he's telling the truth despite your prior statement), that he's leaving out the lying side. Damn, that's awful, LOL. Re: "he'll tell you Reagan's tax cuts raised tax revenues coming back. But he'll never mention they also caused the greatest deficits in history which Bush Sr. couldn't pay off in four years." His show would mention that side of the argument, as he in fact mentions the other side all the time(as I recall from listening years ago). In this case, since Governmental tax receipts increased as you accept(greatly, in fact), spending has to be the deficit causing culprit, not the tax cuts which in fact, again, didn't prevent tax receipts from increasing greatly. Re: "Rush will also bash and bash Clinton, but will never mention 7 years of amazing peace and prosperity. Will never mention Newt Gingrich being against the Clinton economics. Will never mention anything good Clinton ever did." Poppycock. Even I have heard him mention good things Clinton had done. Re: "You do yourself a diservice listening to Rush unless it's balanced by many other contrasting opinions. It isn't news, just highly slanted opinion. It totally morphs reality. And there is nothing like it in the media from the left. You know that liberal media which doesn't even exist anymore?' Again, you are deluded to assume I listen to him. Apparently, you've listened to him too little to know him, given your wildly false claims(I suspect you just mouth accusations you've heard from others, willy nilly). You hold fast to the idea that the liberal slant in the media doesn't exist anymore, but without countering the known evidence to the contrary. I heard Wolf Blitzer morph reality just today, on several counts(sounding much as if he worked for SadDam's Iraqi TV! In one instance it was great to hear Paula Zahn put him in his place as she contradicted the premise of his posed question to Rumsfeld concerning bombing elicited terror among Baghdad citizens potentially backfiring, by noting the numerous reports showing that Iraqis are rather calm for knowing that they are not our targets - Wolf was forced to totally sidestep her question, utterly failing to answer it. Zahn has a claw or two when she hears bullshit). Re: "Rush will bash John Kerry. But will never tell you...that Kerry will probably win in 2004." Oh my, what a biased journalist he must be not to inform listeners in no uncertain terms of that simple truism, LOL. Any media figure not mentioning THAT when discussing presidential politics today, is CLEARLY a problem for those of us who would demand fair and full reporting from all quarters, LOLOL. Bwaaaahahaha. By the by, I liked Rush when I first heard him because(in my case) he was way too late to influence me. I already knew what I believed in general. It happens that I arrived at my particular general viewpoints from a background that included being a concerned 13 year old liberal back in '68. Just trust me, my now extremely limited exposure to Rush is well balanced by other sources manyfold. I read you lately(all your "totally morphs reality," "Always this(insert any bad thing) and never that(insert any good thing)" kind of robotish anti-logical crap), for starters. Dan B
