Why Is Rush Limbaugh Helping the Democrats?
London Telegraph ^ | February 7th, 2016 | reasonmclucus

Posted on 02/07/2016 7:34:43 PM PST by kathsua

Rush Limbaugh doesn’t understand that he is the best friend the Democrats have. He is helping them get the devotion of the Main Stream Media.

Your post is brilliant and funny. I don’t care about True Conservatism right now; it’s like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need someone to fight our oligarchy and he won’t be perfect but he HAS TO BE very independently resourced (at least a few billion) to keep him safe from blackmail and traps. No other billionaire has voiced their concern about the state of the country and offered himself up to try and help. I don’t care if Trump was flying a Dem flag. The two parties are mostly one team anyway.

It’s masturbatory to think choosing the most conservative in his heart nominee is anything but a distraction for us.

Well I’ve been listening to him since 1992 and I have not heard him criticize Trump once!! Only that he shouldn’t hit Cruz with his Canadian BS.. I could criticize Trump on a lot of things he says.. Trump attacks people the wrong way.. That is why his poll numbers against Bernie and Hillary are so low actually Hillary is beating him and Bernie destroys him head to head!!!

I listen to him daily and he has never said he believes Cruz is a fake Chistian or conservative. Quite the opposite. He wants them all to get along and quit splitting the conservatives up. He doesn’t another RINO nominee.

He isn't backing anyone. No wonder the country is in the mess it is in. We have people like you that can't even listen to a simple radio show and you have no idea what you are talking about. Rush observes - sometimes he thinks a candidate does the right thing or a wrong thing.

He is not endorsing anyone if he says something nice about a candidate. He has said nice things about many of them. It is obvious he loves Trump's in your face against the establishment, as well as Cruz' consistency. He will never tell us who he is going to vote for in the primary.

I think you should stop listening. You obviously have no ability to understand simple talk. You are so invested and have so much angst about your candidate, that any perceived cough or sneeze in the wrong direction leads you to accuse. A simpleton, you are.

Besides, Rush has always said his influence is overrated. He has said if his influence is so great, why is Obama president.

He has always said to vote for the most conservative candidate that can win the general election. In fact, he has been so nice to Trump that many people thought he had endorsed him...but they are simpletons, too.

Limbaugh could do some good by asking why FOX News can't find a single Conservative for their Prime Time panels. They are RINO Central and they just hired David Gregory.

But, Limbaugh won't even do that.

He's an insider now - so he can't really say anything.

Huh?

You mean Rush has talked about something besides Football and the severe Battery drain all his Apple Devices have been having?

Oh yeah, let's not forget Lifelock, Sherri's Berry's (yes, they are back after dissing him after the Slut comment), Simply Safe Home Alarm Systems, I-drive Computer Backup and Tax Defense Partners.

Admittedly it must be working for his Advertisers since I remember all of them.

At least he isn't trying to sell Gold like Levin does.

I know, I know, it's just Capitalism, but Rush's three hours a day shtick is more like ninety minutes when you take out all the Commercials.

The real question is why doesn’t he call out Trump for being a phony, bologna good-time rock-n-roll “conservative.”

THe height of arrogance and self aggrandizement is to constantly imply to your audience that you are the smartest person on the planet ie that you are all knowing and seeing and most of all you can predict events. It was clever of him before the Iowa primary to articulate every possible outcome, so that the next day he could say, he was right. He immediately snatched on Rubio as the winner, when looking back Trump did as expected, but Cruz and Rubio too, did well. To say Trump lost was a stretch.

“Listening to Rush at primary time is a frustrating enterprise. His “clever” attempts to help candidates while leaving no fingerprints behind, border on cowardice.”

He hardly ever anymore chooses pro-Trump callers. Notice him today and tomorrow; he will be exalting Cruz while claiming he is neutral while trying to affect the outcome in New Hampshire.

“I think Rush realizes Trump is a big phony”

I have heard Rush say that Trump believes what he says and that he is now what he has always been.

“The same goes for Cruz and Rubio.”

Agree, except I have never heard him utter a syllable of criticism of Cruz; it is always that Cruz is conservative perfection, almost divine. He will completely ignore or spin away whatever anyone else is criticizing Cruz for.

In fact, you might say he just flat out lied away the controversy concerning the Carson deal.

” He considers Trump as a Populist candidate.”

I have noticed that Rush uses this ploy:

1. We need a conservative candidate.

2. Conservatism wins every time it is tried.

3. He then will emphasize who he considers to be conservative.

4. Trump is not listed.

There is all kinds of deviousness and deception embedded in that. I use to listen to Rush, now I find myself monitoring him.

Rush is solid. He isn’t propping up anyone nor is he secretly endorsing anyone. The lunatic fringe here need some serious medical attention.

Rush has been very disappointing with all of purported “conflicts” like knowing Megyn Kelly, Roger Ailes, the Bush family, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and Donald Trump.

<><><><

Really?

I would be really surprised if he did NOT know all of these people.

They’re all in the same line of work (big media, big politics), which is Rush’s stock in trade.
