Sorry about that!

Rush, I've been listening to you since 1992 and have tried on many occasions to call you, I've never been successful.
I,m so proud of you, Sean Hanity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and so many other conservaitve talk-show in radio or other venues of information outlets of the stupendous job that is, without equivocation, not only informative, but also both life-changing as well as nation saving! But only if only all of us Americans will listen to you!
It is amazing that this guy, donkey-ears Obama, with no experince whatsoever was voted into office so he can experiment with future and that of our kids! A good number of us was not listening to you prophetic warnings and caution. He was very crafty and insidious couching in presenting his lies (that were plain in many instances for anyone who cared to examine them) in half-truths and smooth speechs, but ispite of your efforts people chose ignore you by playing the proverbial "ostrich" behavior. Your warnings which many of those who voted for him hoped were not true, have now, after all, turned out to be true or as his buddy, Jeremaih Wright would phrse it: "...chickens have come home to roost"! He is now poised to "community organize" this great economy of ours by irrational spending and send it into oblivion, and some of his supporters are not only implicit in agreement, but are also allelujah amen to the insanity! Well, not me and if I have anything to say about it!!
Truly you guys, but especially you Rush and Sean Hanity have amazing political prophetic instincts. Although you are not at same level of the Biblical prophets of who heard directly from God Almighty and tried to warned mankind of future disasters, but your accurate prediction is right behind the old prophets. And, it behooves Michael Steele and the republican party to listen you!
I voted for donkey-ears during the primary last year simply because of my incurable aversion to the Clintons, any of the Clintons and I'm a solid backman. I believe that my wasted primary vote was before I was made aware of his stance and misdeeds in Chicago on the abortion issue. I now can never ever vote for him, ever again.
Well, Rush, please keep up the great job that you have been doing! The truth and sanity are both on our side!!
God bless you for the good you have been doing by giving some of us hope!
Daniel Nanguang.

Rush limbaugh cares about America and it's people, and just hates to see liberals ruining it by running on emotions rather than logic. If you actually listened to him for a few weeks with an open mind, you would see that he means the best.

tJust when I thought there might by real thought-provoking discourse, along come the Obama-droids. Obama has a difficult time ahead and I wish him luck. Unfortunately, I think he is ill-prepared to fix the economy. I think he, like past presidents are talking heads, puppets for those who have the real power. We have seen our country's electoral process co-opted by Media, foot-soldiered by ACORN, publicly funded by the Hollywood elite, privately funded by the Soros organization. I wish he was the president he personifies, but I fear the president "has no clothes". When confronted with his inadequacies, counter arguments are made to the inadequacies of prior administrations. Illogical in its premise that because it was done before, he should be excused. Non-productive in that it clouds the issues we need to address. The issues are wrong regardless of party affiliation and not an excuse for it's continuance.
So, for all you contributors who continue to focus on the negative, with all you demeaning, idiotic diatribes, Go away and let the adults talk. If you can't put together a thoughtful, concise and coherent argument together, spare us your inane, rambling idiocies.
For those that this doesn't apply to (on both sides of the fence), we see our country in dire straits. We need to look past the dramatic hype and, for what it's worth, involve yourself in the process to recover our economy, our country and our position as the leader in the free world.

People like **(RUSH LIMBAUGH)** will POLARIZE and bring the REPUBLICAN party DOWN!
These EXTREME CONSERVATIVE radio talk shows come across as **(HATEFUL)** and **(CHILDISH)**! People like **(RUSH LIMBAUGH)** will POLARIZE and bring the REPUBLICAN party DOWN!
And most people can see and HEAR that from these CONSERVATIVE RADIO talk show host. A lot of these these CONSERVATIVE RADIO talk show host sound like **(ANGRY, HATE FILLED EXTREMIST)** groups...dare I say a **(WHITE COLLAR version of the KKK). And most REGULAR, NORMAL people...I mean people in the MIDDLE, do not want to be ASSOCIATED with people or groups that spend MOST of their RADIO talk shows being ANGRY and making FUN of people, like they are **(2 year old)**. This is the TRUTH, whether you EXTREMIST want to believe or not.
This is ALSO a PROBLEM for the **(REPUBLICAN party)**, because the REPUBLICAN party have to ask the SAME question. Who is in CHARGE here, the GOVERNMENT or RUSH LIMBAUGH and these CONSERVATIVE RADIO talk shows?
It is one thing for RUSH LIMBAUGH to be entertaining, but when people ACTUALLY start **(doing)** and APOLOGIZING to RUSH LIMBAUGH for making comments against Rush Limbaugh, then the REPUBLICANS and the DEMOCRATS and the **(GOVERNMENT)**, have to ask themselves, who is in charge here, the GOVERNMENT or the RADIO TALK show hosts like RUSH LIMBAUGH.
If anyone listening to those CONSERVATIVE talk shows you can tell, that they are **(ALL SLANTED)** and TOTAL sell outs for the REPUBLICAN party! IF you listen to these CONSERVATIVE radio talk shows, EVERYTHING bad that happens in the world is the DEMOCRATS fault. They twist the truth and LIE about the DEMOCRATS to make people HATE the DEMOCRATS. And of course ANYTHING GOOD that happens is because of the REPUBLICANS. **(RUSH LIMBAUGH a just a MOUTH piece for the REPUBLICAN party)**. And RUSH LIMBAUGH is totally bias and slanted in favor of ONLY the REPUBLICAN party. The problem with RUSH LIMBAUGH is that SOME people **(ACTUALLY)** believe and FOLLOW what RUSH LIMBAUGH say and tells them to do. And this is DANGEROUS! It is one thing for RUSH LIMBAUGH to be entertaining, but when people ACTUALLY start **(doing)** and APOLOGIZING to RUSH LIMBAUGH for making comments against Rush Limbaugh, then the REPUBLICANS and the DEMOCRATS and the **(GOVERNMENT)**, have to ask themselves, who is in charge here, the GOVERNMENT or the RADIO TALK show hosts like RUSH LIMBAUGH.

Rush is a drug addict who used to demand jail for the "low-life drug addicts."
He is addicted to drugs....
That makes him an OXY Moron. Let's make this stick.

Rush Limbaugh is not powerful enough to effect the stock market all by himself as it now is being effected, unless his listeners believe that Republicans in Congress will vote just as Limbaugh demands. An ailing stock market would in that event be a vote of "no confidence" for Senate and House Republicans. Sun Myung Moon's global News World Communications with its numerous media outlets, chiefly developed to deliver propaganda, "would" be powerful enough to massively effect Wall Street by curbing foreign and domestic investment. If the recession stays bad enough, more propaganda by Limbaugh and News World Communications' outlets might succeed at putting Republicans in charge of Congress again. Both Limbaugh and Moon want that to happen, perhaps at "any" expense.

To CAP of PA@ Mar 09, 2009
I have to call you on all counts.
The problem is not greedy Wall Street types and the market does not "hate" being monitored. The problem is there have been very little monitoring and rule changes by regulators and the US Congress.
"If the fake wealth that was accumulated due to ridiculous unbridaled lending practices".
The US Congress encouraged Fannie and Freddie to accept loans to people who could not pay it back. Real estate agents and brokers assured buyers that collected their commission upfront are criminally culpable as well, if you ask me. In addition, Mr. Obama was a member of congress when all of these failures were going on. He is equally at fault.
"It's not a matter of capitalism vs. socialism, it’s a matter of greed vs. reality."
You are looking at the wrong "bad actors". Certainly, those CEOs are personally responsible, but they would never have been able to gather so much "profit" if the regulators and lawmakers were not in on it as well.
Congress is supposed to represent all of the people, not their own campaigns (as is happening even now). With their reelections being paramount, they do not like doing things that could slow down the good times, such as monitoring Fannie and Freddie, especially if they could catch the blame. Then, when the stuff hits the fan, they run to a TV camera and blame "greedy CEO's" and President Bush, followed with the claim that free market capitalism has failed.
"Don't even worry about Oboma making a mistake and messing up the "fix"."
Oh, but we should worry. Funds that could be used to actually work at fixing this mess has been squandered by the US Congress and President Obama on the liberal Democrat wish-list that they've been keeping in their back pockets for decades, just waiting for the right conditions to spend 'hope dollars' on.
He can't possibly do any worse than what we just had,"
Blaming Bush does not help. And, yes, Obama could do worse than Bush. He already has. He has spent more on "off budget" items (pork) than Bush did on the entire Iraq war, Afghanistan and prescription coverage for Medicare.
