He may have been saying that. But after the mid-term elections in 2006, Rush was also quoted as saying he was tired of being a "water carrier" for the Republicans.
I think the constant beating of the Republican drum, while the Republicans have faltererd politically- have hurt guys like Sean and Rush and the content of their shows, because suddenly they now have to shift away from their Republican roots and instead state they are Conservatives. Whereas a guy like Savage was really ahead of the curve in predicting what was going to happen down the line to the Republicans as far back as Bush's first term
I just think it's a fine line to walk.
Again I like Sean and Rush- this is just my opinion as to why I think they've taken a bit of a hit.
(And yes let it be known I am a Republican)
