This is going to get buried down thread. But if anyone deserves to see those fucks hang, it is El Rushbo. I am 44 and have been listening to him since I was 16. He is like family and I’ve never met him.

Yes, I am. I have a Bob dole T-shirt from his run at the White House.

However, I voted Bush in 2000, abstained from voting in ‘04. ‘08 and ‘12 saw my vote go to Ron Paul. The rest has been all MAGA. I do hope like hell for a ‘24 Rand Paul /Kristi Noem ticket. Rand Paul libertarianism Paired up with her royal hotness is an unbeatable pair. Besides seeing democrat brains melt when republicans elect the first female to office will be an awful lot of fun.

I'm just 5 years older than you, and I'm exactly the same. Listened since I was in my teens (He converted me from Lefty to Conservative), have the Dole Kemp T-Shirt, the whole 9 yards. Now I'm 49 and a staunch Trump supporter and heartbroken to see El Rushbo so sick.

There are a lot of gen X’ers out there just like us friend. Who would have thought we would turn out pretty well as a generation? Not many.

Do you guys remember back in the day, he briefly had a TV show too, with a studio audience? It was on network TV too.

My Dad started listening to him within the first week of his national show. I think I was six. I grew up listening to Rush. If I ever wanted to know what was going on in the world, I knew I could turn on Rush and he would give me the truth. Where else can we get that? He is an amazing American and has done so much to further freedom in our nation by single-handedly towing the true conservative line for years until others showed up

I honestly hope POTUS buys the EIB name and starts a network with it.

Me too friend. I used to live in cali and when I was just a small pepe they had him on this the car. This was probably 87-88' at the latest. He has been a cornerstone of intelligent political thought for my entire life. Im so sad considering a world that doesn't have his presence in it.

It really does make me a bit sad. I don’t fawn over celebrity, the vast majority of us here don’t. But when you’ve heard a voice nearly every day for 30 years, it will be hard not hearing it. We owe much to him.

Yea and hes always been different. He never was a celebrity out in the world. He has the huge personality on the radio but kept to himself otherwise for the most part. He wasn't out there whoring himself out to everyone with a video camera and a microphone. Plus the insane sense of humor, Mick calling in from the high mountains of New Mexico, the roadkill Cafe. The whole feminazi gag, the man was brilliant and yet relatable.

My kiddos grew up as Rush babies and they’re millennials. Fortunately, they don’t fit in with others of their generation.
