I hear you, but that's not exactly what I'm getting at. Rush is a registered Republican, and he sides with the party just about 100% of the time. That's perfectly honest. He is open about his political affiliation, and he politically supports his political party. Dandy.

Here's an example of why he's dishonest:
2000: after the election, the left piped up with the idea that since half the country voted for liberal candidates, he should keep this in mind when appointing his cabinet. bullshite, cried Rush, and I agreed. It was Bush's job to do as he saw fit, and we would have a chance to evaluate him in four years. Tough shite, left.

2009: Rush appears on Leno and brings up ACA. He said the fair thing to do was to allow the 53% of Americans who voted for non-Obama candidates to be exempt from ACA, which is the exact opposite of his stance he took against the left in 2000 and the exact same thing he made fun of the left for doing. As much as I hate ACA, it's the law, it's Constitutional, and we're going to deal with it until we can get Congress to take it off the books (not holding my breath).



Also, I have no problem with someone being insensitive about the deaths of known drug users like Jerry Garcia, for example ("Just another dead doper," said Rush the day after Garcia died), but when you're a drug abuser yourself and you do it, then I say frick you, you fat, hypocritical count.
