Reading the transcript of Limbaugh's speech at CPAC today is worthwhile in my opinion. As stated earlier in a comment on Sally's post, his shtick is tiresome to me. His observations and commentary however are absolutely spot on. I note that he doesn't present to audiences that may be less ...

The crowd was older, middle class/working class, and was sprinkled with flat tax supporters (Michigan's Legislature may consider a graduated state income tax soon), as well as Campaign For Liberty (Ron Paul's PAC) activists. ...
