Rush has a big microphone. One would expect that he exerts some measure of influence in the world of conservatives. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that he ranks high on the list. Afterall, the liberal left makes sure that his name stays in the headlines constantly. But lets keep this in perspective. He only garnered 26%. I'm a staunch conservative and NEVER listen to Rush Limbaugh. I believe this is more about name recognition then about actual influence.
That's funny. I'm a diehard Liberal Democrat and I love listening to Rush when I can. He's so funny and entertaining, and yes, some days, he has a point or two. I think that's what people miss between his being crazy and his being extreme. Sometimes, he raises good questions that I think should be asked and everyone just blows them off.
It's good to hear what other people in America think. Even if I disagree. I enjoy political dialogue because you can't make an informed decision on ANYTHING (...talking to you Obama) unless you hear all sides of an argument or issue.
A hypocritical ("OTHER druggies should be thrown in jail for life NOT ME I'm special"), drug addicted, hate mongering, woman hating, minority hating, wealthy-worshipping, war mongering, CEO worshipping, lying,misleading, rabble rousing jerk.
PERFECT representative of conservatives.
These words totally represent many Libs. Add "America hating" "Commie worshipping" and "destroyers of constitution" .....
... and you would have the perfect representative for *******s
Right now, Limbaugh and Palin are running the party. This is for 2 reasons.
1. Far righters have noticed the news gives them FAR more attention than moderate republicans who have been ignored. And Limbaugh and Palin are emblems of the far right.
2. Democrats know that as long as they can keep the Republicans seen as directed by extremists, they will keep the moderate vote, and the moderate vote is what wins elections.
and:
3. Democrats are pissing their pants about any Republican conservative when the real threat is a third party candidate from within their own Democrat party.

Back in the early 1990s I would've agreed. At the time, yeah, he was entertaining, especially when he started his tv show and was still sort of low-budget and rebellious...almost Letterman-esque. If you didn't see Rush back then, you didn't see Rush. But everything I've heard since around 1997 has been repetitive, bs Republican Party talking points, which he even admitted himself after the 2006 elections. He said 'Thank God I don't have to carry water for Republicans anymore.' Who would choose to pay attention to someone who's admitted to having been an out-and-out fraud--even under the guise of entertainment?
