To: HANG THE EXPENSE; Catsrus

You’re full of sh!t newby.


I didn’t realize this was a union shop where seniority holds such great esteem. Catsrus signed up in 2009. Is Catsrus also “full of sh!t?

What part of my comment indicates “sh!t volume?”

The truth is, “Operation Chaos” was Rush’s baby. It fulfilled its purpose of stopping Hillary. We’re stuck with the unintended consequence.

Shuster: ... At the time of Limbaugh's remarks, John McCain had practically wrapped up the Republican nomination, and Barack Obama had reeled off 11 straight Democratic victories. That's when the Clinton campaign launched its kitchen sink strategy and Limbaugh launched his vote-for-Hillary strategy. Did it work? Approximately 119,000 Texas Republicans voted for her in a state where Clinton's margin of overall victory over Obama was about 101,000. In other words, Republicans helped turn a virtual draw into a slight Clinton victory. While Obama won Mississippi in a landslide, Republicans favored Clinton three-to-one. Swelling her vote totals is costing Obama, according to analysts, a few delegates. The next big Democratic primary in Pennsylvania is a closed contest, meaning registered Democrats only. But Republican tactical voting is still a potential factor in Indiana, Montana, and Puerto Rico, and conservatives who identify themselves as independents can vote in North Carolina and West Virginia. That means out of the nine remaining major Democratic contests, conservatives could cause mischief in five of them. The question is, will it make any difference or not?

RUSH: Mr. Shuster, don't forget Pennsylvania. You left it out there. We have operatives who are registering Democrat up until March 25th to vote for Hillary in Pennsylvania. It is happening there, too. Operation Chaos, Rush the Vote, exceeding all objectives. Now, on Hardball, Chris Matthews hosting former New York City Mayoral candidate Mark Green. He's also the president of Air America, whose audience you could put in a thimble, phone booth certainly. Matthews says, "Mark, what do you think here? Is this going to be the greatest example of political sabotage in history? Republicans sneak into Democrat voting booths, elect the candidate that they think is easiest to beat? Not always right, by the way, there were a lot of Democrats that rooted for Reagan to win the nomination only to learn he could beat any Democrat."

Operation Chaos’ purpose was NOT to stop Hillary. He encouraged voters to cross over and vote for Hillary in order to slow down Obama’s path to the nomination.

It's purpose was the abolition of RINO allowed "open primaries!" RINO's wanted open primaries to stop conservatives from taking over the party, don'tcha remember???

I'm with you on the seniority bit on FR. This site would shrivel and die if we didn't allow newbies to join and contribute!!!

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

The object wasn't to stop Hillary. It was to split the vote and divide the democrats like Perot divided the Republicans (which is the only reason Clinton got reelected). Many of those Hillary supporters voted for our guy after that because the dems tried to push their gal back out of the picture - and they "abused her."

Either you’re confused or I’m confused. Operation Chaos was to get conservatives to vote for Hillary in the open primaries, in order to help the dems have a very contentious primary and convention - thereby dividing the party and making it difficult for half of the party to vote for whoever eventually won the primary.

Actually, Operation Chaos helped Hillary. Small minds equal small memories.

You must not listen to Rush. Operation Chaos was NOT to STOP Hillary. It was to extend the Dem primary out as long as possible (like Hillary would have quit without it?) so as to use up resources they’d need for the general.

If anything, it would have HELPED Hillary beat Obama.

I voted in the Dem primary for Hillary in TN. By the time our primary came up McCain had it locked so it didn’t matter.
