It is sad. Rush has completely fallen . I am very sad for rush. He sold out . I assure you. He will die years from now regretting his sell out. Money isn’t everything. I know that. But your spirit and convictions are and that does not mean you are always right but this bastard has blown it out his butt. I was with 34 men today at lunch and they were just shaking their heads. Rush is now GONE!!
The mattress thread is two doors down, mmmkay?
Rush -- along with just about every other conservative in the country -- was screwed either way. Support Trump, and conservatives will say he's sold out conservatism. Support Cruz, and the populists will say he's in thrall to the GOP-E. It's a no win situation.
And in fairness to Rush, he hasn't trashed Trump. He says Cruz is the most conservative, and if that's the most important thing to you, vote for him. Trump is the nationalist/populist, and if the most important thing to you is to destroy the elites, then vote for him. Not really sure how anyone could quarrel with that.
“Rush is now GONE!!”
Not so fast. You probably haven’t listened to Limbaugh for
very long. If you have then you would know that his first,
second, and third priority is to get liberalism defeated.
I think Rush has a Republican preference but he will
be an avid supporter of the GOP general election candidate.
He has ALWAYS been that way so for people to get their
panties in a twist over what he says or doesn’t say about
this or that candidate is just another sign that it is,
indeed, the silly seson.
I don’t know how long Rush has been a sell out. I completely bought into Rush being “one of us” for more than a decade. Fifteen years, at least. But that NYT article coming out last month, telling of how Schumer and Ailes wined and dined him on illegal immigration, getting him to talk about it less and call it amnesty less, and how satisfied they were with his dropping the subject after their tete a tete... I was shocked, hurt, disgusted. But I gave him til his next show that Monday to defend himself. A lot of us were tuning in with sharp ears.
I expected he would either rail against it as being a lie or possibly apologize to us, his loyal book buying, mattress using customers, and admit he got swayed by all the puff and attention from the cool kids in DC. Boy, was I wrong. He was hopping mad and defensive like a 5 year old with his hand in the cookie jar. He had no truthful defense but he kept doubling down. It was not even close to being believable. And after a station break, he came on and called us who questioned him “haters.” I was done trusting or even liking Rush that day. It was like a serious breakup. I’d loved him for years. If you’d asked me, which living person would you most like to dine with, I would have told you Rush Limbaugh.
Sad but I fear he has been lying all along to us and doing the bidding of the exact people he pretended to disparage. He never even MENTIONED that Obama doesn’t pass eVerify. Our President has serious citizenship issues, and it was never worthy of mention from Rush. And he does the bidding of Schumer privately, over champagne and steaks, but calls him Chuck U Schumer to us on the show, chuckling at his own cleverness.
What did you sell us out for, Rush? Just money? Hope it was worth it.
