No, real conservatives do what Rush used to say, "think for yourself". Now Rush is the Apostle of the privileged and too many conservatives got hooked when he was the populist outsider. I listened to him from 1987 to about 2002. Since then I actually listen to what he's saying instead of nodding like a bobble head doll and saying, "Preach it Brother Rush!" I am still a true conservative, but Rushes Rockefellerism (big business is always right) is old and the whole reason so many of us who have actually pulled ourselves up out of poverty can't stand the guy any longer. In the last 10 years he has shown his true self and it isn't pretty or for the little guy.

50% of the country cant stay married and our current president admits to using drugs illegally. By the standards you just put forth we should disregard anything 75% of the country says.
 
I'm not a drug addict and have been in love with my wife since I was fifteen Darth, why should I not expect the same from people as "smart" as Rush? Obama admitted to using, but I said drug addict, not recreational user in college, although I would prefer that he never used. Rush and his drug problem just shows what a mental midget he really is, if he was actually smart and not a blow-hard he would have just said no. I could go on the air and spew that crap for 4 hours a day for that kind of money no problem too if I was high on oxycotin and the smell of my own farts and woke up the type of person Rush is. I would say it is even money he is still using to this day. Like I said, conservatives have a quality control problem and I expect better. What is wrong with having high standards anyway?

Fishtaco, have you been reading my posts? He isn't the voice of conservatism anymore. And the Tea Party movement wants nothing to do with him or Republicans because they are the voice of privilege pontificating at us "rabble" about what we should do to "be successful", which always involves letting big business do whatever they want and keep supporting a party of rich, arrogant multinationalists who want to keep the working people stuck right in the hole that the banks, petroleum companies and super-wealthy have dug for us. True conservatism is not using government to control our lives (like lefties) and not stacking the deck in favor of big business (the Republicans). Ronald Reagan was about limited government but never stripped away the protections of anti-trust and real free market like Rush wants and the Republicans have done.

I did and agree with your post Mantisman, I'm just poking these guys a little for defending Rush. You probably know I agree with a lot of things that go with fiscal conservatism and I wish a more distinct line could be drawn between fiscal conservatism and social conservatism on a national level.

Dude, how can you defend Rush? He is nothing but a druggie who can't stay married and makes a living be an a-hole. Regardless of politics I don't see how anyone can look up to someone like that or believe a word he says. If a tweeker or crackhead told you the sky was falling would you take that seriously, it is the same thing with Rush and again shows why I have a problem with conservatism, you guys have some serious quality control problems.

 
Fishtaco
Who's defending him? I am just saying Ailes had about nothing to do with Limbaugh's career. He made more sense loaded than the current Democrat leadership.

Reef, you are the one who needs to do your research. He said in the past that it was Roger Ales who got him his national talk show. I listened to him in Sacramento before he went national. He absolutely got his national syndication from Roger Ales, who then further helped him by getting him his tv show deal. I don't read or listen to the left-wing for facts-just entertainment and have never read any blog-right or left. Rush is a silver-spoon who has tried (and only the last 10 years or so) to hide the fact that he owes everything to Ales. And he knew Ales because he was daddy's friend. Yeah, he had everything handed to him because he knew the right people. The same guy who now denogrates anyone who says you have to know somebody to get ahead. Anyone who has worked hard to get out of poverty, yeah like me, and can still listen to that son of privilege preach "lift yourself up by your own boot straps" crap-I don't know how to say it other than, they must like getting spoon-fed BS. I guess it was the left-wing bloggers who made him say in 2008 that if gas got to $10 a gallon it didn't matter cause he could still fly his Gulfstream.
Got Link?

What's the national divorce rate again? That's why you shouldn't expect the same out of other people. As far a Limbaugh on any other divorcee goes unless you know those involved why would you judge them without having the facts?

Limbaugh is the PT Barnum of the media. As far as Republicans being the party of privilege what the hell do you think the Democrats are? Maybe you should look at who "big business" donates too, specifically wall street.

It takes more mental prowess and willpower to get clean than it does to never partake. Being a former addict myself I know this firsthand. So yes I would hire him. So because someone falls and succumbs to the addiction factor this makes them a mental midget?

Sorry Darth and don't take this personally please, but I have dealt with that crap before at work, a person is using, goes to rehab and then they are the hero because all of a sudden they can function in society, while all the while people who are not weak-willed and don't make mistakes in life get zero credit. Your attitude towards this is dare I say it, very liberal. Somehow I have chosen not to ruin my life and the lives of those around me by becoming addicted to drugs and I have less mental prowess and willpower than someone who does? Give me a break. Again you guys are defending Rush and again I stand by my statement that the conservative party has a quality control problem.

Again, not defending anyone, just stating a fact of life. Today's Democrat party can't compete in a war of wit with a loaded radio show host. Says more about them than him. Sorry we all can't be a superior human specimen like yourself.
You just defended him again.

 
Rush has very little wit and a lot of mean-spirited venom, if he could manage to at least stick to the minimal moral values a non-conservative like myself does, then I would cut him some slack.
He adds about as much value to this society as Paris Hilton or even less because of the hate. I don't expect everyone to have or stick to the same morals I have for myself, but I also can clearly see that as a human being, Rush is absolutely inferior to me and I refuse to elevate him to anything more because he absolutely does not deserve it.

Funny thing is while I don't listen to Limbaugh's show much since I aint on the road during the day but I've never heard anywhere near the hate coming from his mouth as you folks who attack him.

Both parties have a quality control party...but how does this play into the conservative idealogy that the average citizen conforms to. You give him and talk radio to much credit..less than 1/10 of the conservative/republicans even turn him on. If the idea is sound though does the source matter that much?
 
While it does take willpower to not partake..it takes even more to quit and never look back, as a person knows the euphoric feeling they enjoyed. If you never had sex you would not desire to have it as much as if after you experienced it....And i never stated you dont have willpower.And it is not a liberal ideaology to respect someone that pulls themselves up.

Oh I agree that both parties have quality control problems, I have already judged my local guy in the House by how badly behaved his dogs where when they jumped all over me when I was out mountain biking. If you can't train a dog not to jump on people then you are not qualified to make policy.
