Rush is a bloviating idiot. I’m sad to say I saw him get his start on Sacramento radio and even saw him speak at Arco Arena in front of thousands of dittoheads. I truly felt like a stranger in a strange land that evening and I was still in high school.
I think Rush is right in that many will not feel the need or desire to come out and support the nominee whomever it ends up being, but I think he’s completely wrong about it destroying the Republican party….quite the contrary, I think it will revitalize and refresh the party. Not since the era of Nixon has there been a true honest to goodness “conservative candidate” Rush and his ilk have tried to redefine what a conservative is, and to their great detriment I’m afraid. They were able to power grab for a couple of decades now but I think even through all of it, there were many conservatives who voted that way just because they didn’t like the Democratic alternative. The Neo-cons have ridden their horse into the ground and now it’s time for a Goldwater-esque true conservative to take the reigns back on the party.
It will take an election cycle or two for it come around, but I am hopeful that this will leave the country in better shape after an ugly and messy “divorce” from an idealogy that simply does not work and never has worked. It’s time to get back to healing….and that’s why I can be happy with Obama even though I prefer Edwards. He does have that ability to unite and heal.
