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 certainly are afraid of the honest truth. Most conservatives have a bit more courage....
Don't ask questions if you have no time to read the answers.
(I hope you are self employed)
No, I asked how allowing Nancy Pelosi to become Speaker helps the consrvative cause.
Another nice try, since no one has claimed that, it's just another strawman.
Here's one for you, how will electing liberals help the conservative cause?
I am proud to say, I have never been a Republican. Everytime something important comes up, the Republicans start running for the high grass while the Democrats line shoulder to shoulder and hold the line. Of course, they are alway standing up for the wrong side so I end up voting Republican year after year.
Except for the purple haze years, Rush has been consistent over the years. I have heard him rip Bush 41, Clinton and Bush 43 based on consistent conservative principals. He does take sides in elections and tries to get his guy elected, which he has the right to do. After they are elected, he does hold their feet to the fire.

Half a loaf is better than nothing at all.

No, I asked how allowing Nancy Pelosi to become Speaker helps the consrvative cause. No one has suggested that outright, but by suggesting we stay home instead of vote for less-than-perfect Republicans that's exactly what the result will be. The time to eliminate RINOs is in the primaries, not now.
Oh yeah, let us punish the GOP by electing Dimocrats so that abortion and euthanasia become every person's duty, so they can raise taxes to give every person who doesn't want to work an equal salary as you have, and...I could go on all day. I will vote and I will vote a straight Republican ticket. Got that, I don't agree with all of them all the time but I don't even agree with my husband all the time and I've kept him around for 36 yrs. Sometimes you have to act like an adult and understand that it isn't all about you but about the greater good and I don't see any "greater good" coming from the Dimocrats.
Nope, never have. Just because you think people should read you mind, guess what the hell you are talking about, fall into your childish traps by pretending that they owe you an answer to the most inane questions, doesn't mean someone is "dancing".
You certainly are afraid of the honest truth. Most conservatives have a bit more courage....
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! LOL
Are you going to start calling me names again? I mean you just called me a coward, so I have to assume the answer is yes.
Not needed here.*snickering*

Huh? What does that mean?

GEE, Ya think? That's why it's a straw-man argument.
but by suggesting we stay home instead of vote for less-than-perfect Republicans that's exactly what the result will be.
Who did that? I never heard anyone say that, but even if someone did, it wasn't me. I suggest no one vote for liberals.
The time to eliminate RINOs is in the primaries, not now.
So you are advocating voting for liberals as a way to help the conservative cause?
A couple rules of thumb I have tried to use over the past few years especially.
1. I never post vanities of any type.
2. I never make initial contact with anyone with whom I disagree.
3. When brought into a debate with someone who initiates the contact then and they are using invective and otherwise wild accusations towards me, I extricate myself from further contact with them, quickly without changing the position I earlier took.
Seems to work for me and keeps the blood pressure down.
By the way, on your point about Rush, I can understand why you have it, I just don't agree. But I sure don't mind your expressing your opinion.
Have a great day.

Half a loaf means I'd rather have SOME of what I want than NONE of what I want.
With the possible exception of folks like Lincoln Chaffee, almost all Republicans are more conservative/less liberal than the Democrat running against them.
No Libertarian or Constitution candidate is going to win, nor would I want them to in many cases (but not all.)
Take the Ohio Senate race. It's either going to be DeWine, or Brown that wins. Period. If you think DeWine's liberal (and on many issues I'll agree he is) he's still Barry Goldwater compared to Sherrod Brown, who is a Kucinich clone. If I HAVE to choose between the two (which, realistically, they are the only two candidates in this race who can win) then it's DeWine, no question. Now, once he wins, we do need to hold his feet to the fire, but Sherrod Brown is the ONLY alternative.
By voting Libertarian, or Consitution, or whatever, or simpl choosing NOT to vote for someone like DeWine, you're in effect voting for the much more liberal Democrat.
So you advocate voting for liberals, correct?
If you lived in Illinois you would never make such a crazy comment.
If you want to say "liberal" that's fine...perhaps you're one of those that calls anyone that has less than a 100% ACU rating liberal.
So...WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?
Find me some examples then. I don't live in Illinois so the individual House races and such, I'm not too familiar with.
You are confused. YOU are the one advocating voting for liberals. But you blame people who don't vote for liberals for electing liberals. Do you live in Bizarro world?
Nancy Pelosi thanks you for your vote.
Here is one solution--if only we get our hidebound, sclerotic state election boards to OK it.
