To Joe of NY and Rush Limbaugh.
Thank you for speaking the truth. If is really funny that the liberal media and crying Democrats can complain when the market is doing well and middle class earning less than eighty thousand are doing well. The FairTax would be a GREAT tax method for all tax payers. It would give this country back to the people. That is where it belongs.

Some elements of the Repulican Party "base" are really vitriolic in their enunciation of their specific principles. The adherence of so many to the tasteless and tactless prophet, Rush Limbaugh, has spotlighted this group for its undesirability in a rational government. This is causing the independents and many of the rational conservatives to lose faith in the party organization. And, incredibly, we have recently witnessed the spectacle of the party chairman and several Republican congressmen toadying to that dubious prophet, for fear of offending the all-important (?) base.
I submit that the "base" is the Republican Party's very own "toxic asset". If the party can't show leadership strength that can steer its members away from worshiping Rush, Joe the Plumber, and Sarah Palin and into support of rational, intelligent conservative principles, it risks fading into oblivion.
Help! Help! Save the Republican Party and the two-party system of democracy.

Rush, you need to get a life. Republicans have always been doing good deeds for the rich and themselves. The trickle down politics haven’t worked for the last 65 years and never will. You sit hear and preach how much you care for the little people.. That’s a joke.. You only care for the top 20% of the nation. You write off everyone who doesn’t have your status in the world.
You didn’t have the guts to open your mouth when Bush was in office making our lives miserable. Where was your cry for the little people then? The only time you ever open your mouth is when a democrat is in office. I hope the fools of the nation let you lead their party so they can see you for the fraud you are.
I find it hilarious that people in the world can look up to someone like you who walks all over people to get your voice heard. You are just another Howard stern of radio. People listen just to hear how twisted your mind really is. Your comments on how you hope our president fails says it all.
Do us all a favor….. Keep your mouth shut until you know all the facts…….. Stop making up thing s to make yourself sound intelligent.

Has anyone noticed that when Rush's ratings go through the roof, liberal media wants the fairness doctrine back? They must be mad because free markets rule conservative radio and those stations are making money, also known as an obscene profit timeout. Maybe instead of preaching fairness doctrine, liberal media should grab a pen and paper and start taking notes. I find it funny that no one is watching the left wing loons and they are crying poverty. It's not fair, boohoo. Try getting back to journalism 101. Yes that is why Sean Hannity is shaping media direction in this country. He is following journalism basics. Figure it out.

Rush, I have been a student of yours since you have been on the radio. I am concerned with the picture I see on this website as it appears to me that your weight is going up and that is not a healthly sign. I hope that is not the case. We need you now more than ever so don't go getting a heart attack. I had one 20 years ago and I can tell you that you don't want one. Glad to hear your ratings are going off the chart, we need to beat this guy.
