Either way, however, Rush keeps contradicting himself on the whole point of “operation chaos.”
The main point of operation chaos is to boost Rush’s audience. Secondarily, it is to have fun making Democrats waste campaign funds and alienate their base.
It won't make a dimes worth of difference to Rush one way or the other.
Rush — once very important and useful as a conservative voice — sold out.
If Rush sold out, it was by not getting behind a solid Conservative.
You’re kidding. Please tell me you don’t believe that. I’ve been listening since before the first Gulf War, and Rush has NEVER supported Clinton.
>>>>I too don’t see blacks abandoning the dem party. I don’t however, see them voting Hillary in if she steals the nomination from Obama.
Sorry, but the Black vote has not changed in 50 years. They always vote race in the Primary, and vote for who will give them the most money in the General.
Rush never supported Clinton. But he did do it as a satire on the show, to prove a point. What that point was I can’t recall.
Blacks are never going to vote Republican. But if Hillary is the nominee black turnout will be affected. Barry was criticized in Pennsylvania for not using the practice of sprinkling “walking around” money in the predominantly black urban areas of Philadelphia. Those who criticized him said he may have missed out on a couple of hundred thousand votes. Hillary or any Democrat will get nearly 100 per cent of the black vote, but that did not seal the deal for Gore or Kerry. In a state like Michigan, black turnout could be the difference.
As I’ve said all along, blacks certainly will never turn out to vote for McCain. Not in a million years. But a few of them might stay home. Not many, I suppose, since there are well oiled machines to bus them to the polls from their homes and their churches.
I don’t think Rush has sold out. And he has certainly cost the dems a lot of money. But I have been doubtful all along, because it’s far from clear that nominating hillary would be beneficial to winning the election. Of the two Dems, I think Obama is even more dangerous than hillary, but they are both dreadful.
OTOH, I agree with Rush. If McCain is elected, with a RINO VP to be groomed for the future, then it will destroy the conservative movement for decades. And if he puts through his illegal amnesty program, which is easier for a Republican to do than a Democrat, it will destroy the country.
It’s a case of damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. I see no hopeful answers at this juncture. Still praying for a miracle to happen, but I don’t really expect it. If a country freely chooses to destroy itself, history suggests that God seldom intervenes.
Name one thing he’s done to weaken Hillary.
Rush has been working at weakening Hillary since the early nineties.
He isn't 'admitting' it, he's GOADING them with it for polemic reasons. He's actually pointing out that the Dems have never helped the Blacks, except to enslave and pauperize them. This is a message to the black Dem listeners of EIB: telling them they should get off the plantation.
Actually:
1. Rush’s ratings were much higher under Clinton
2. It has been established that conservative news/opinion programs and periodicals are more successful during democrat presidencies and vice versa.
It’s probably because outrage and opposition are more entertaining and sell better.
LOL!
McCain isn't a great candidate is he?
Conservatism needs 1,000,000 more Rush Limbaughs and zero middle of the row, status quo, bed-wetting RINOs.
Bring on Operation Chaos, and to hell with the "new tone" idiots.
Hillary is spending massive amounts of money to get back into this race. She is probably in the negative right now. Hillary is pissing off a lot of blacks, most will support her regardless, but a good chunk will stay home. Besides, Hillary still has next to no chance to win, unless she runs the table and has some landslide victories. It ain't gonna happen.
Plenty.
Getting the Clintons to attack Obama in their Clintonian way, showing their seedy side to Democrats is priceless.
My daughter and SIL are dyed in the wool libs, and will never vote for her. I have seen other libs who are in the same boat.
Yeah, I said to mimaw earlier-great ‘strategy’-this KAOS shit has divided our side as much as the dems.
I guess you haven’t seen all the recent polls that show Hillary ahead of Obama with the Democrats now.
Operation Chaos WAS ALWAYS about keeping Clinton in the game to bloody up Obama. All the political damage done to Obama has come since the Texas-Ohio primaries. With out Clinton inc in the game, that was not going to happen. The RNC wasn't going to do it, the McCain camp was not going to do it, and the US Junk media certainly was not going to do it for us. Keeping Clinton in the game keeps the Democrats fighting and is driving aways the “Moderate” voters from the Democrats. Obama is now losing the “Moderate” vote bady to McCain in both FLA and Ohio. He was winning those votes primary to Operation Chaos.
BTW, contrary to the Clinton Inc mythology in all most all polls Clinton loses to McCain just not as badly as Obama.
Sorry you are so pathetically paranoid about Clinton Inc. Man up or go home.
It has handed the nomination to Hillary and probably the general to her as well.
It has probably done neither. How are the super delegates responding? They are moving toward the now greatly damaged Obama. The only way to get the media to cover the negatives of Democrats is to get other Democrats to make the charges. Operation chaos has bought Hillary enough time to make the case that Obama isn’t Presidential material. Either Obama will get the nomination and lose the general or Hillary will run after alienating her base.
