An Open Letter To Rush Limbaugh
Jon Alvarez ^ | 10/23/2006 | Jon Alvarez

Posted on 10/24/2006 5:24:00 AM PDT by Jon Alvarez

Dear Rush:

Pardon my French, but you’re full of s***! As I listened to your show last week, you chose to criticize and attack conservative Americans like myself who feel the Republican Party does not deserve to win in November. Rush, since when did you become such a shill for the GOP? Choosing the party over the base is a very disappointing move to this long time listener. I’m very disappointed in you, Rush Limbaugh, you’ve lost touch with the reality that is life for the common man in America. I heartily recommend you take pause and reconsider your programming strategy. Do you really want to attack those of us on the front lines versus liberalism? Rush, you yourself have become one of the elite of our society. Perhaps I need to give you some perspective, so you can better understand our anger, or at least mine.

>>>You're a troll. There is no debate. You have an agenda and you're a waste of time, font and bandwidth.>>>

Once again you show you have NOTHING to bring to the table. Someone disagrees with you, they are a troll.

Keep going.

Obviously money is the only thing that matters to you.

If principles did, you wouldn't be on a conservative forum trying to get conservatives to betray the country and our conservative values.

The answer you are looking for is not straight-ticket GOP. I have not given any money to the GOP this cycle, but instead decided to support conservative and pro-growth republicans in key races. You could also work against RINOs like Chafee, Specter, etc., in primaries to make a point. In any case, having the GOP lose power in order to punish them is much like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Sure, you make your point, but you will find alot of the folks that would otherwise support your views will be alienated.

And that is the art of politics and governing. You have to build coalitions with people who don't agree with everything you do. Get involved with Club for Growth or other organizations that support candidates that have proven bona fides for conservative fiscal policy. Or, if your hot button is abortion or something else, I am sure there is a rock-solid organization dedicated to making sure those kind of candidates are supported.

However, abandoning the whole party concept in favor of narrow interests guarantees disappointment as far as the eyes can see, regardless of who controls this cycle or the next.

I'd suggest that you stay home and not vote (and sit in the corner and pout if you wish), but stop trying to suppress the conservative turnout on a public forum.

You're indistinguishable from a leftist troll.

Sounds like you are a Michael Weiner shill to me. Do us all a favor and wait until November 8th to cast your vote.

It's not because you 'disagree' with onyx.

It's because you are behaving precisely like a troll that many people have concluded that you are indeed, a troll. At the very least, your goals are the same.

Now why don't you go someplace and calm down and come back to see what you've written, and maybe even YOU will conclude that you're acting like a troll.....

By the way, I never addressed the author of this silliness.

Welcome to FR, Mr. Murtha.

You'll be even madder when you wake up on November 8th and realize that you're still out of power, and that WE have retained it.

THEY ARE THE MAJORITY!?!

It makes little difference on Immigration. Not everyone in the party agrees that a very expensive fence cannot be defeated by workarounds, and some ladders. You will never get everyone to agree, so what you do, is elect people who agree with you. You cannot punish those who do not tow your line of reasoning by letting the Dem's regain control of the legislative docket. It is foolhardy and stupid.

Frankly, I think the fence is a boondoggle and a waste of taxpayer money, but your contingent won this round.

I'm the one who should be pissed! Not you!

I think your issues are deeper than just the border, or you are blind as a bat and ignorant of politics in general..

>>>Our battles are in the primaries>>>

What? I don't know of any Republican in my area that was challenged in the primary that was an incumbant. If there were options, other than the one whose always been there...

And what did you do at the state level to change that? Nothing?

It's so easy for us to read and post on FR, thinking we are really doing something, and when the dumb$hit republicans don't do what we want we're cry like babies and say "I'm going to teach YOU a lesson...I ain't going to vote for you. Ha..take that." Oh...that's so hard to do.

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND REALLY DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT!!!!

Wow, didn't know I had that much power. Also didn't know that if you express disgust at the people who are supposed to be representing what I have always believed to be right wing philosophies as inept and/or not caring, then you are a troll. Is that a party line or something?

Oh there are other issues, spending is one. But the coddeling of the welfare immigrants are hand in hand with that.

I see. At FR, if you don't follow the mantra "Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what. Republicans are good, no matter what." you are a troll.

Gotcha.

Ummmm..........I'm an Indians fan, onyx. In 1959, it was my ambition to be the first female to play for them...

We do NOT talk about Mickey Mantle. ;)

Are you not well? That post has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said or think.

You're sinking farther, into the sand, ms bar. For your own sake, I'm suggesting that you step away from the computer and let your emotions settle.

OK?

Puh-leeze. Save that for the Weekly Standard crowd.

Sorry, but I happen to believe it applies in this case. Their base is filled with people who are blind to the danger presented by radical islam, and that will invite far more attacks.

I survived LBJ, Carter (oh God that was awful), Clinton (just as bad); my family and I will survive the next two years.

I'm very happy for you and your family. I, for one, don't believe we should have to go through another Iran hostage crisis to get another Reagan. There has to be a better way.

The opposing principle to what you call 'the party line' is allowing leftist traitors to attain power in the halls of Congress.

THAT is your alternative, sandbar.

If that is what you are accusing all of the rest of us of NOT doing, then I wear your accusation proudly.

I will NEVER knowingly hand this country over to Marxist traitors. NEVER.
