Why should I vote Democratic?

40. Fast and Furious

I suggest you read the DOJ report. It may shock you to learn this, but politics exists in Washington. This was a partisan witch hunt, a personal dispute between a couple of border agents that got politicized.

Rush? Rush is an entertainer. He does not provide news. Just assume whatever he says is a lie because it generally is. Moreover, he knows he's full of it. And he's laughing all the way to the bank. If you enjoy the show fine, but don't mistake it for news.

Bush speech writer David Frum names Rush as part of the conservative entertainment complex that lies to Republican voters for profit. Frum identifies this as key to Romney's loss and declining support of the GOP. Republicans didn't run against the real Obama. They invented an evil straw man who doesn't exist. Their campaign depended on suspending reason and common sense and believing their conspiracies. Fast and Furious was one among many.

There are reputable, very conservative publications one can read. You can read the Wall Street Journal, National Review, etc.... Or Cato is a libertarian think tank that refuses to bow to the GOP talking points. All conservative but at least they make an effort at actual reporting. Rush and Fox do not.
