- Rush. He is funny, but he is also right. You watch his TV show?
- Almost every day, he shows some clip that illustrates that
- Clinton is actually more ignorant than Quayle was. He speaks
- for me. Don't worry, the arrogance is just an act.

- I don't know. I'm split. It's the one thing that I can't go
- with Rush on. I think that people should have choices when the
- choices affect ONLY them. I also think that life is precious.
- It's a dilemma.
