Color me naive except I don't think the Dems will bring Rush down.....I think he will on his own. Perhaps he would if the Dems would quit publicizing him. Though I doubt it.

Color me naive except I don't think the Dems will bring Rush down.....I think he will on his own. That's not what they are trying to do Ted. Among his followers he's very popular and when it's done he'll be even more popular. No...the goal is to use his popularity among the dittoheads, the rednecks and more extreme of the "conservative" crowd to paint the GOP as such, thus turning the moderate center and the young further away from the GOP. It's a good marketing strategy...if the dems manage to define the GOP as the party of unenlightened zero ideas rednecks it will lose the center and it could take a generation to change that perception. For now it seems to be working, but it's a bit early to tell if will stick... Al
