Summary

Everyone knows a dittohead. In addition to being devoted listeners of Rush Limbaugh, they're also loud, judgmental, and absolutely certain that they are always right. One of the most common phrases you'll hear them use is "if you only understood politics you'd be a Republican." And from national defense to fiscal policy to social issues, Rush shows them how it only works the Republican way.
