Summary: Showing the truth that everybody should know
Review: This book contains the right things to say about our society. What he says is right on target, he does not hold anything back. He attacks the liberal ideas and the people of the left wing. He shows the facts and reveals the true colors of these socialistic heavy weight liberals. What Rush says makes me wonder why someone would question him. Rush hits the liberals hard, and it was coming to them anyway. This book almost has the guidelines to a successful nation.
I would recommend this book to a moderate liberal. The reason why I say this is because this book will show that person the truth. The truth is that everybody that is paying taxes should know about. The only way to understand that is to hint hint read the book. I enjoyed this book and I agree what Rush has to say. This book makes me wonder why people do the things they do to bring down society. This book is fit for a republican as well and I think it would great for them to read it and gain knowledge from it.

Summary: Rush helped me come out of the closet.
Review: Armed with degrees in Poly sci and Urban studies, I emerged from college a liberal Democrat. As an insurance agent I reveled in the fact that i was always the only dem in the room when i got together with my peers. Insurance agents and realtor are heavily conservative and pro-business. I probably was more conservative than most democrats but got turned on to rush by a young female office worker in our agency. I was walked by and the guy on the radio was speaking passionately so i asked, who is that jerk? Well Rush was talking about hilary's healthcare proposal, something i know a lot about and I was tunned that he was getting it right. Over the next 12 years I became a regular listener and even voted republican for the first in my life. Rush gets a lot of things right. It takes courage to open ones mind and consider what he has to say. For a long time, I would listen and then test to see if what he said was correct. He doesn't get much wrong when it comes to the facts. Opinions are another matter. Opinions are not facts. Reading this book is a worthwhile exercise. It is not great prose, nor is it a great Star Wars novel. It will make you think so it is a better than average book.

Summary: Must reading for the political novice
Review: Before i review this book, I would like to address the issue that other so-called reviewers have raised about rush's pain pill addiction. Since the left have decided to label Rush a hipocrite, I would suggest that they take a long look at their icons. First Ted Kennedy, the liberal's own Ted Kennedy is a self-professed drunk and least we forget a certain incident in Chappaquiddick with a young campaign aide who mysteriously drown. Next we have Bill (I did not inhale) Clinton, and his record also speaks for itself, and lets not forget the rape charges that the Clintons swept under the rug. Since the left have decided to refer to Rush as a hipocrite then might I suggest they take a long look at their party, otherwise they might just be labeled hipocrites themselves for failing to repremand their own.
Now to review this book! Great from start to finish, I may not agree with all Rush Limbaughs anecdotes and comments, but I certainly admire the man to be this brazen and brash, calling extremist women's libbers feminazi's and extremist enviromentilist's as wacko's. I belive Rush to totally belive what he preaches and it certainly shows with this book. I would recomend this great work of core conservative values to anyone who wishes to learn what the republican and democrat party's truely stand for. I'ts informative, funny and just plainly a great read...

Summary: Rush knows liberals!
Review: From the beginning rush made himself successful by exposing liberal institutions as out of touch anti-american anti-capitalist extremists. That's basically what his first book was about. In this his second book he digs even deaper to the very heart and soul of how liberals think and why. For whatever reason rush has this incredible understanding of liberals and he was right from the beginning about the clintons. He predicted the increase in taxes though clinton actually proposed a middle class tax cut in 92 and he was right on the money when he painted bill and hillary as power hungry elitists. It is that great insight into what makes liberals tick that really touches a nerve. What really makes this book fun today is the opportunity to go back and read how things used to be. While rush limbaugh became a rising star in the late 80s early 90s it was the clinton presidency that pushed him to such dizzying heights of popularity. This book is very readable and will illicit an emotional response no matter who you are. ................socks

Summary: Awful, AND I'M A FREAKIN' CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!
Review: I am about as conservative as they come, but this is horriable. All he talks about is me, me, me, me; I, I, I, I,; my, my, my, my; I did this, I did that. We're not all like that. Rush gives a bad name to the right. Don't listen to him. He's a prime example of why the liberals think we're this way. This book alone could turn an undecided liberal. If you don't know whether to be a Democrat or Republican, don't listen to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore (for liberalism.) Same crap, different fat guy. I hated it. Awful, awful, awful. Rush get over yourself. THink about someone else, or (gasp!) the conservative PEOPLE!!!!!!! What an inspirational idea. And to think, Al Franken didn't even have to lie like he did to make Rushy look bad. I am a conservative, but not like this guy. A must miss. Guy must've been high when he wrote this book. I guess so. I gues so. Rush Limbaugh could have been great, but it went to his head. SHUT UP ABOUT YOUSELF and your stuff you sell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Well, I want to be balanced here...
Review: I come from a family of conservatives and liberals, and I try to get an idea of both sides of the issues. My grandfather has this book, and I decided to read it. I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of Rush, but he at least can write. The book isn't terrible, but it tends to lack hard numbers. He'll just give an ambiguous statement about Reagan and how much worse Clinton will be(this book is from 1993 after all). If I was a conservative, I'd probly take all of this as a great work. However, I'm not, so I really can't see this as something as great as Mr. Limbaugh projects. He does project an air of arrogance, despite his hate for ego. He also talks about family values, despite three divorces. And he talks about the post WW2 generation not knowing sacrifice, while he gets out of Vietnam. His father was afflicted with the same ailment, and that didn't stop him from serving in WW2(thanks to Al Franken for that little tidbit.) Overall, not a bad book, just without hard numbers to support his claims.

Summary: Awful, AND I'M A FREAKIN' CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!
Review: In 1993, Rush Limbaugh followed his bestselling masterpiece "The Way Things Ought To Be" with "See, I Told You So." Both of these books helped set the tone for the Gingrich revolution of the 1994 election when the GOP took control of both the House and the Senate. SITYS was written at the beginning of Bill Clinton's first term as President, and Rush almost seems to predict to a "T" how Clinton's presidency would unfold, as the disgraceful stain on our country's history that it truly would turn out to be. Limbaugh takes on so-called "New Democrats" (Leftist radicals disguised as moderates), Hillary Clinton's socialist health care scheme, the political correctness thought police and the revisionists and their efforts to rewrite history. SITYS is at least as good a read as TWTOTB, if not better. In this age of the war on terrorism, I would love to see Limbaugh come out with a third book. Well, how about it, Rush?

Summary: Upbeat, No False Liberal Piety, Easy-Going, A Free Man
Review: Rush Limbaugh is:
1. A veritable teacher on the radio, intellectually stimulating.
2. THE conservative leader in America, working primarily through a medium (radio) that still stimulutes the human imagination better than TV, and is an excellent supplement to reading.
3. Many people, including a few conservatives and many liberals, TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY TO GET THE SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR RUSH LIMBAUGH DISPENSES. Liberals, particularly, are so religiously attached to their opinions that they can only HATE Rush because RUSH LIMBAUGH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND ELOQUENT SPOKESMAN FOR CONSERVATISM AND AGAINST LIBERALISM.
4. Those who spend a lot of time faulting Rush Limbaugh for whatever reason are already pre-conceived to be against his politics. IT IS CLEAR THE LEFT IS ON AN AGENDA TO DESTROY RUSH LIMBAUGH.
5. I loved "See, I Told You So." Unlike so much political commentary in the OLD, MAINTSTREAM MEDIA, this book is straightforward.
6. Rush is not an "oversimplifier." Facts and thorough analysis are the core of his program. Maybe liberals cannot face that their minds are so confused and muddled, and they project their failure on the masses. ATTACKING RUSH IS A WAY FOR LIBERALS TO MAINTAIN THEIR CONTROL OF MEDIA.

Summary: Another Conservative Gem
Review: Rush Limbaugh's second book, "See, I Told You So" is a great follow up to "The Way Things Ought To Be" and a conservative classic in its own right. In trademark Rush fashion, the book begins on a note of optimism with Rush recounting past run-ins with star athlete Danny Ainge as well as his former high school football coach. The stories he tells reveal life lessons that anyone can implement in his own life, and they provide the reader with personal inspiration in addition to entertainment value. According to Rush, the American Dream is still alive... To achieve your dreams you only need passion, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence... Too often these ideals are lost in the everyday bickering of political life, and by injecting them back into the national debate, Rush Limbaugh brings a bit of Jimmy Stewart back into the political landscape. As he did in his first book, Rush then moves into a full-fledged examination of the American culture war, highlighting the liberal bias of school textbooks, the degradation of traditional values, and the dumbing-down of America. As always the book is filled with tidbits of humor, written in a witty style unique to the author and pleasing to the reader. Other aspects of the book assess the then future Clinton presidency and Rush's opinions on how such an administration would govern. These chapters seem almost prophetic in nature following the aftermath of an administration bereft with corruption and scandal (and a president that was impeached, just as Rush predicted)... Overall, if you enjoy The Rush Limbaugh Show, then you'll love "See, I Told You So". (...)

Summary: A Time Capsule of Inaccuracies
Review: This book was among the first wave of anti-Bill Clinton books to come out shortly after he became President. The problem with this book is that it does not stand the test of time. Rush Limbaugh's simple premise is that he was right about how Clinton's presidency would turn out...and he was making his case less than a year into Clinton's first term. Rush makes numerous bold predictions about the effects of Clinton's policies that, as can now be more fairly judged now that Clinton is out of office, simply did not come true. Rush was so sure that the Clinton presidency is going to be disasterous that he titles the book accordingly. See? He told us so. However, since Clinton's policies did not have the effects that Rush describes, and people were not worse off because of them, you are left with a paradoxical account of the 1990s. While you could argue that Bill Clinton's actual policies were not have been responsible for the prosperity of the 1990s (there is evidence on both sides of this), Rush's book inaccurately predicts tough times ahead that did not materialize. Rush predicts recession and deficits for most of the 90s because of the Clinton tax hike, rather than the high rate of growth in the economy and the elimination of the budget deficit that actually occurred. This is the equivalent to reading a book attacking the New Deal written in 1933, a book about VietNam written in 1967, or a book on the presidency of Richard Nixon published in 1970. Rush jumped to a lot of conclusions in this book that would prove to not be true. How the man has any credibility left after this is a mystery to me. This book is a monument to short-sighted partisanship that will be discovered by historians 100 years from now, and probably be considered a joke.
