There was a time (some) Lefties we're excited (especially one)... so excited they actually cancelled their viagra subscriptions for a week or two.

Remember?

Rush Limbaugh is really good at what he does. He plays the partisan political game well, generates a lot of interest, and even people who hate him tune in.

I don't know, I don't listen to him much anymore, but back in high school I listened to him all the time. I like Rush a lot, and I credit him with generating a lot of my personal interest in politics. I don't go the whole Republocrat route anymore, but I guess I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Rush, lol.

Same here. He's one who will vote for the Republican no matter what - I'm not like that at al. But I was a Rush baby, so it's part nostalgic.

And CNN jumped 38%, while MSNBC and Fox had (smaller) increases as well!

Now you don't think this has anything to do with it being an election year, do you? :lamo

Rushes best shows IMO aren't about politics usually but when he talks about his cats and football about America about succeeding in the country, about his past. Those are his best shows I think.

The point was the hyperventilating Left predicting his demise.

20% increase in profits... Growing and expanding in Lib markets.

Didn't die, didn't shrink... Quite the opposite... Contrary to the wishes/predictions/hopes of the hyperventilating Left.

The Blue Dawgs, the Conservative Democrats... The pro-military Democrats are a dead breed. Joe Lieberman is the perfect illustration of what happens when you leave the Socialist, anti-American Demokrat reservation.

Sam Nunn, and his ilk don't exist... And ObamaKare was the perfect pressure test. None stood up and stopped the idiocy.

There is no reason to vote for the Socialists of Amerika Partei (SAPs)... They need to be destroyed, and you can only do that by defeating them.

The Demokrat Party is insane, as are so many of their followers... And as entertaining as some of these folks are... It's sad. I wish we could give them money to go to Europe, open a business there and run it for a few years. Whoa!!! Talk about a wake up call they'd get... Plus the shock of the standard of living... The cost of fuel, the tiny residences, the whole enchilada.
