Rush Limbaugh

What is it Libs hate so much about hearing someone disagree with them. Why would someone like Rush or Hannity go in to government. They have more support where they are and a paycheck that doesnt come from taxing someone. Obama won and they're still pissed off and full of hate. The progressive movement is based upon progressing further from the values that created this country. You have just elected the most radical socialist in our countries history and you dont even know what you did. You make your decisions based upon feeling instead of fact Thats why you can never get a lib and conservative to see eye to eye. If you think what these democrats are trying to do is benefiting the country you are iether ignorant or not paying attention. Spend some time studying economics instead of sitting at starbucks. I havenet figured out how people are proud of being liberals. When I talk to them most dont even know what they stand for. The democratic ticket stands for

abortion

higher taxes

welfare programs

bigger government

pro every religion except christianity

pro every race except caucasion

pro every ethnicity except american

pro every sexual preference except heterosexual

pro every family unit except marriage

being dependent on others hard work for their own gain

enviromental preservation (by changing light bulbs and driving earth scorching battery powered cars, not by building enviromentally friendly homes and nuclear power.)

Against

Business

people with wealth

people of faith

free speech if not their own

improving your own life through hard work

people owning hand guns

military and police

enviromental preservation by responsible progress.

In short get a job, stop depending on others to support you, use your brain, stop depending on the government for all your needs and desires and stop trying to tell others what to think. They have their bible and you have an herb garden. If you hate America and what our forefathers created, go to Europe. I did. I like it much more here.

Hopefully after our president is done printing trillions, devaluing our dollar, creating hyper inflation and government controlled business, the next president will know enough to listen to the economists and not put his ideology before his country.

Maybe he should run for office

From what I've seen, if a person wants to debate the President, they should run against said president. If Rush runs in 2012 and wins the nomination, he'll get to debate Obama, and Obama won't have much of a choice. Apparently Rush has all the answers, so why isn't he running? Because he doesn't REALLY want to debate Obama. If he REALLY wanted to, he'd put his money where his mouth is and run for office.

So why has Rush never run for office? Why will he not run in the next presidential election? Because he has NO CREDENTIALS. He's just a loud guy with opinions, and most of his opinions are as dumb as he is fat. Rush and his opinions are irrelevant. Let us no longer pay him or them any heed.

Limbaugh - Obama

Limbaugh is a conservative voice that most, if not all,

Republicans respond favorably to. He has been doing this

for over 20 years and he worked his way to the top. He

was not made spokesman by a group of foul language using

dummies like Obama was.

Are you aware that the majority of Obama supporters

dont know who the Vice President is. They dont know who

their own representatives are. They dont have jobs and

yet they want us to give them something that they would

not ,or could not, work for. The people that they speak

so poorly of is the same people who work to support them.

Why doesnt Obama just take time out of his party-time

and spend a couple of hours debating Rush. From the loud

protests of Obama supporters I can only surmise that you

are afraid for Obama.

If you really have faith in that looser why dont you

encourage him to stand up like a man against Rush. We

promise not to gang up on him like you did George W. Let

him put up or shut up for once and final time. Quit

protecting the lying socialist traitor.

Limbaugh is a joke!!!

Limbaugh, How are you going to challenge Obama to a debate? Who do you think you are? In order to debate someone you have to be an mental equal; and Sir, if no one has enlightened you yet...you are definitely below average. You play this cool hand luke role unsuccessfully on a regular basis. You are like a comedian that makes his living on one joke, and you are played out. Your racist antics and ethnic stereotypes will only get you so far. You have gotten so comfortable out of your sheets since the good old days. What? No more hoods?

So keep doing what you are doing, sooner than later you will expose yourself as the hemroid that you are.

Funny thing, when God made man out of the dust of the earth it was so it would be easy to be more than what we were created out of. Well Rush you're still dirt it is time to step up your game. Nothing wrong with being a republican, but be a good man...if you can.

Limbaugh = Republican

It's obvious that Democrats want to define Republicans as being controlled by Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh has stated that he wants Obama to fail. It logically follows that all Republicans want Obama (and the country) to fail. Democrats are using Limbaugh to make sure that the Republican party remains arch conservative and a minority party for the future. It's all just politics.

limbaugh versus obama

i know limbaugh doesnt look as good in a bathing suit and would look silly making sure he was photographed running down the beach in hawaii but i know he loves our country and the freedom and capitalism i grew up with. we all had the chance to strive for the american dream.because of obamas narcism and desire for a socialistic country my grandchildren wont have those choices. they will be paying back the debt we left them.

Um, excuse me?

Why are democrats and their water carriers in the media even paying attention to the GOP? As Lord and Messiah Most Merciful will tell you, HE WON. Why Democrats only need a few moderate dupes like Specter/Snowe/Collins/McCain/Ah-nie/Crist/etc and they have free reign to run this country into the gr.........er, as they want! Why does Dear Leader The Most Powerful even care about Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity anyway?

This is the Pittsburgh Steelers being worried about the Detroit Lions; and outside of Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal (we'll see tomorrow night), Michael Steele (maybe), and a handful of others, there's nobody on the GOP side that actually wants to fight for anything. If anything, they have all the fight of former House minority leader Bob Michel (one of The Messiah's favorite Republicans, imagine that). The Dem(on)s must REALLY be worried about their own competency if they're scared of a group that is still more, ideology-wise, John McCain than anything Limbaugh.

What is it about Rush?

What is it about Rush Limbaugh that just makes people's blood boil? He's a radio commentator, not a politician. "Compromise" and "Post-partisanship" are not in his job description. So why are people criticizing him so much for not changing his tone? He has no reason to change his tone. I don't know if you could call him the leader of the GOP, but he is one of the few voices left articulating true conservatism. I hope Boehner and the Republicans in the House continue to oppose this insanity.

It's a matter of principle. What happened to trying to get on track to reduce our national debt? Now we're on track to triple it if this ends up costing us $3 trillion like it's estimated to. Why compromise with something you're 100% opposed to? I say keep fighting the good fight in the House, and kick those three turncoats out in the Senate.

BUMBer.....

Poor Rush. If not for that ass cyst of his, he would have gone on to become a decorated Vietnam War hero. Perhaps there was a 'Medal of Honor' with his name on it. Clearly, he had 'war hero' stuff.

sigh.

Unfortunately, eventho Rush BEGGED the US military to take him anyway despite the ass cyst that was handicapping him daily, the US military just could not take the chance. Instead, after several years of divorce after divorce after divorce, and after living in several people's basements in Kansas City, Rush finally got his lucky break and is now making $40-million/year just to spew his hatred across America.

The military missed out on a genuine war hero in the making, but America gained a divisive, drug addicted, gargantuan pedophile blowhard who hates his country.

Ahhhh, what coulda been.
