A rush from Rush

No problem, the smaller his audience gets the larger he says it is.

His audience shrank from 25 million to 15 million per week, but he claims he now has over 40 million a day. He has to claim his audience is growing as it shrinks because he has said that if his audience fell 20% he would take himself off the air.

RUSH: We figure in every 15 minutes of this program there are 5.2 million, maybe 5.5 million people listening. Over the course of the three hours it's 12 million, and then when you add up all the non-dupes over the course of the week, which is called a cume, it's about 20 to 25 million depending on vagaries of ratings books, PPM and so forth. But it's a large number.

RUSH:. According to reports at the peak of The Oprah's popularity, her show had 40 million weekly viewers. Now, that's not bad. That's almost as many as we have every day here. So our hat's off to The Oprah, 40 million viewers a week, not bad.

RUSH: I'm in the broadcasting business, just as they are. They might want to say they're in the journalism business, the news business, and in a way they are, but even though they're cable, they're broadcasters. I mean there are certain skill sets that you have to succeed at, and if you don't, you're gone. If this program lost 20% of the audience I'd be gone. I would take myself away.

But Truthmatters claims that it is because of failed ideas. Got anything to support that little gem?
Well, I'm not a mind reader, but if I had to guess a reason it would be if you hear one show, you heard them all. Every show is, "The Socialist Obama is destroying the country on purpose and everything bad is the fault of Liberals."
 
Your not winning the countrywide debate.

Your historically failed ideas are being tossed by more and more Americans.

The liberal ideals have been on parade for three years, how is that working?
Is the country better off than it was three years ago?
Are we more prosperous?
Are more people working?
Are less people on food stamps?
Are there less people below the poverty line?
Are we "safer"?
Are our borders more secure?
Do we have more freedom, liberty?
Are American citizens "proud" of their country's standing in the world?
Do we have less debt?
Are Americans treated with respect from other countries?
Is the government more "transparent"?

The countrywide debate is over. The liberals have demonstrated with their actions far better than the conservatives could have stated in words. Now comes the realization that the party is over, and most of those that believed the liberals are now just jackasses, transformed by liberal's "fun island" (from pinnochio), that will now face hard labor for the rest of their lives with no retirement, no vacations, and more taxes. Yes, those liberals really know how to show a country a good time.
 
Rush Limbaugh said he wasn't gonna' "carry water for the Republicans anymore" after the 2008 elections but what does he say on air? "Gotta' vote for the Republicans". A caller said he was sucking up to the Repubs far too much and Rush replied: "I'm a TEA Party" guy!" which, seems like a bunch of b.s.

Rush is good at illustrating the differences between Liberal and Conservative but somewhere along the way he got co-opted by the Republican Party, which I wouldn't mind if he were just honest about it.

That's why I don't listen to Rush so much anymore.
He has ALWAYS been a GOP shill. They made him an honorary member of their Congress after the 1994 election. He does the GOP mudslinging so the GOP can pretend to have clean hands.

He actually admitted that every GOP presidential candidate has asked him to smear Obama for them so they can "take the high road."

Story #4: Regime's 2012 Plan: Politics of Personal Destruction
RUSH: I've talked to many people, potential Republican presidential nominees. Many have asked to come see me personally, and there's a uniformity of message and they've all said, "Rush..." In fact, they've all I think been asking me to behave in a similar way. They say, "Look, we can't go after Obama personally. We just can't afford to do it. We have to stay focused on Obama's policies. We've gotta take the high road."
 
I fired my painting crew for blasting Rush and his "Feminazi" crap into my window.

Doesn't surprise me.

Many TP players are as pissed at the GOP INSIDERS as they are the DEM INSIDERS.

And as Rush is a spokesmouth for the RNC, his popularity is beginning to wane as more and more conservatives realize that the RNC is NOT their bestest bestest buddy.

The SHEEP ARE LOOKING UP.
 
His ratings are dropping.

look what a con caviling that fact caused on here.
 
His ratings are dropping? Good. That fat blowhard's material has been old for a lonnngggg time.
 
Did they leave or set fire to your car and loot the electronics store down the street?

Nope. They took their sorry selves elsewhere.

So you'd be cool with someone firing their painter if they found out they were gay, huh?

I had every right to fire them. I was conducting a counseling practice and they were blasting hate through the window when I had clients present.

They weren't going to get anymore of my money when they were costing me business. Period.

What really pisses you off, is that I was powerful enough to do that. I didn't know my place. I should have sat and cowered in my office, right?

Wrong. You're damn right I fired them, and I would do it again.

You didn't answer my question... Is it cool to fire someone because they're gay?

Besides, you could have asked them to turn down the radio... Instead, you opened yourself up to a discrimination lawsuit....

My bet is that shes not big on internal consistency.

Discriminating bigots like you don't piss me off...

I hope they sue you, though....

Termination for biased and discrimanatory reasons should not be tolerated in this country...
