LOL..loaded question. But my answer would be conservative. I find myself becoming more and more libertarian though.

I am about as conservative as they come... but I think Rush is too argumentative to bring about any change and I disagree with his assessments of cigars. Other than that I have no problem with him.

Peter, Rush obviously has an on-air personality that on first blush may drive many people off. At first he appears to be arrogant, but if you listen on a regular basis you would find he is anything but. He is confident in what he believes however, and that is a trait that turns many off because they do not have that confidence themselves. ( i am not referring to you or anyone here when I say that) Everyone has their own tastes and preferences whether it be cigars, entertainment, or politics. To me ignorance is a much more off-putting trait than arrogance and Rush is not ignorant. I agree with Rush's politics and find him very entertaining . I find the list of cigar recommendations referenced here to by and large not fit my tastes at all, but Rush is a conservative first, a capitalist second and as others have noted I believe the list is influenced by his capitalist arrangement with Finck. I have heard him say that his favorite cigar is actually the Partagas Lusitania, so he does have that going for him.

My post and windbag comments were, for the most part, in response to his cigar preferences and recommendations. I don't want to listen to his BS on cigars any more than I would want to hear a professional athlete's musings as a food critic or a Hollywood personality's take on politics.

Rush is undoubtedly an intelligent man. I agree with some of what he believes and disagree with some as well. I am put off by his arrogance. One can be intelligent and confident without being arrogant. IMO, Rush fails at this.
I would not consider him a leader by any stretch of the imagination. He is just one person who has the advantage of the limelight.

His has stated his favorite is a Partagas Lusitania? If he has said this, he changes his story for the audience just like any politician.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery, good for you biglebowski:-) But is name calling really necessary to get the point across that you don't like the man?

Ok if you show me the chemical analysis on his body that shows he is 50% vinegar, 50% water, I will cede this point to you.

I have been in 'his majesty's company' and he has an "on air" personna that rivals others but when you get him in his own element, no cameras, and it's just him and other people he hangs out with he's a complete douchebag. When he was going thru the 'oxy contin' scandal his thoughts were that he'd get past this thing because the public doesn't have an appetite for their heroes to be attacked as he was,,,,their heroes,,,I wanted to puke.

His thoughts on cigars is whoever puts the money in his pockets,,,,but he does like cigars and will be a spokesperson for those who pay enough for his spokesmanship,,,he knows that and so do the manufacturers who pay him.

Just because folks recognize that blowhard Limbaugh for what he is, does not speak to one's political tendenceis.

Amen,,,,if you knew half the crap this a hole spouts off with when the camera is off and he thinks he's insulated within the people he golfs or goes to events with you'd be wretching. The Palm Beach crowd is a very exclusive bunch and to stay in it you have to be on one side or the other,,,and for those who know what I am saying I don't have to go into detail as it is a very "religion oriented" deal.

Rush Limbaugh is the leader of conservatism. Most people that disagree with him are liberals.

I disagree ,,,the fact is that Mr. Limbaugh is a complete fraud as to who he portrays himself in public and who he is in private. Yes, he's a very articulate person in the framework of politics and he has some very heavy hitters who lobby his opinions and vice versa. To judge him when you don't really really know him in both a public and private venue is an incomplete opinion based on what you think,,,not what you know. I'm a very conservative person and I don't agree with him because I know of him thru personal observations as well as thru those who know him. Politics have nothing to do with my opinion of this complete and utter fraud.

Damn it all to hell, I had no idea this would get political.

Wow. If you would do this by listening to Rush, what would you do if you had to listen to Sean Hannity on a daily basis?:-)
Rush I can handle, but Hannity is the one that drives me insane.
[Reply]

That same list has been on Rush's site for a long time. He probably didn't even write it.
I like to listen to Rush's show because he comes up with unique and inciteful angles on current events. He also seems to find important events that are not being reported elsewhere but it will be big news if he talks about it. He can be very entertaining.
There is a saying: "It isn't bragging if you can back it up." You can't call "arrogant" unless you are ready to challenge the person and humble them. Otherwise you are stating yourself to be even more arrogant. Just my opinion.

After reading his recommendation that the Dominican Cohiba is cream of the crop, his credibility went out the window. What a clown
[Reply]

Actually, every Dominican Cohiba I've had has been average-good. The kicker is they have all been gifts, I wouldn't pay the prices on those things though. I think if General priced them around the La Gloria or even Macanudo, they wouldn't get such a bad rep. The cigar really suffers because of the name I think.
