>No reason to be concerned about him< Allen, There have been reasons to worry when the gasbags get a hold of the national podium. Maybe the best outcome is that he drives the Republicans to the right for some period of time. That's going to push the center to the left, IMO, so that could work out favorably. It is just so ugly to hear him... even in sound bites. I listened to more Rush in researching my position on this controversy than I've voluntarily listened to in 10 years. And it wasn't good - much like Scrooge's bit of undigested meat. But when he's making Republicans kowtow it is a bit unnerving and not the least entertaining. -cosmicforce

>>He made the connection to Democrats who said that they want Bush to fail when there was heavy fighting in Iraq.<< Tim - By that standard, what Rush said would be tantamount to saying that he wants the country to go into a depression. No. Because "they want Bush to fail, when there was heavy fighting in Iraq", doesn't equal "they want us to lose in Iraq". It could mean that, but it could mean many other things. "I want the president to fail" is rather vague. I don't think most of those Democrats wanted us to lose a war, and I don't think many Republicans want us to go in to a depression, or even for the recession to get noticeably deeper.
