staunch independent, actually. if i was rush i would give away my newsletter to our brave and valiant troops. that would be a nice way to support the troops, right? instead he makes his dittoheads pony up $50 for each subscription for a troop - and where does this money go? veterans support? - probably not piggy-boys pockets? - probably so man, your good at making troops have to pay for stuff! must be a republican!
I don't deny that that would be a great PR move for Rush, but you seem to "know" that he owes to and can afford for our men and women abroad. I don't think you can go that far when it's not your deal. Rush can probably get his listeners to buy more copies than he could afford to just give away himself, so that is the path he has chosen. Perhaps he could have done a matching grant or something...
