Has Rush or Hugh advocated staying home and letting a Democrat win the White House? No. The reason conservatism is flagging in this country is that it requires thought, not just feeling, and it requires political representatives more interested in serving their country than their own political power. Rush didn’t fail because McCain will get the nomination. It is his job to deliver the message. Too many weak-minded compromisers (and Democrats allowed to vote in Republican primaries) and identity-politics swindlers (Huckabee) outnumbered those who think we should control spending, control the border, and confirm good judges (thank you Johnny for the Gang of 14). Rush may be an easy target for you since he is so big, but I’m sure he’s never heard of this particular Bill Bradley.
