Are you two married or what? Nobody needs to be reading your petty squabbles. Use the private reply.
O.o what was that? LOL A record Nonaposting! (meaning 11)
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
From the look of it, most “Conservatives” are our enemy. They are and never have been “Conservatives”. They sold their soul to be ‘Popular’ and sell their books. They placated us to sit tight so the left gets more and more entrenched and takes over every aspect of power, so when the “fight” comes, we don’t stand a chance.
There are few who are willing to walk the walk. They talk and continue to avoid the central issue-—we have a POTUS who lacks qualifications to even hold office—and he is destroying all aspects of our Constitution—and they skirt the issues. Even SCOTUS. Why? Because the NWO may be too powerful now, so they think. But if we all rise up together, they are finished. We need to unite—there are more conservatives than liberals. People need to for their children and grandchildren—for the future of freedom.
This is our last chance. It is now or never. Those who don’t join us are against us. The battle line is drawn and we want none of their slavery. For the love of God, join us and throw Romney back in the ditch where he belongs! He obviously is a progressive/socialist. Please let freedom ring!
I listen to Rush for professional reasons almost every day. As a Newt supporter, I have had some “bad days” and some “great days.’ Frankly, I think he leans Santorum. Before that he was hoping for Perry to do great things, but that never happened. I would say he has said more negative things about Mitt than he has about anyone over the course of the entire primary season.
Bloody thursday, as you call it, had some good things about Newt as well, and on Friday, he called out Elliot Abrams harshly for misleading everybody about “bloody thursday.” He has also allowed Newsmax to quote him all weekend in a very anti Romney context.
Keep in mind Rush has been very consistent for 23 years on a few things:
A: he relies on humor, and no one is immune from that.
B: he hates any attacks by our guys “from the left” - and the Bain attacks were that.
C: he has said probably thousands of times that he never endorses in primaries
If you cannot accept these three things, and you are in the tank for a given candidate, you will convince yourself that he hates your guy. If you accept these things, then you hear it more clearly.
Thank you, Mods. I think this is an important thread that doesn’t need to be hijacked. If you agree with Danae, let’s all call Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc. and ask them why they aren’t covering what’s happening in Georgia and elsewhere. It appears that they may have been threatened. We need to provide cover for them. Stay on topic.
Same here. It is all rant and no content. It barely ever says what the rant is about. I’ve heard better rants from teenagers.
Aaaanyway, thanks for sharing your opinion.
Who's Your Daddy - Hoosier-Daddy...that's cute.
Knock it off!
I have been listening to Rush Limbaugh since the third day that he went national, I know his show extremely well, I have 24 years of history with him and his style.
I knew that he endorsed Romney in 2008, and promoted him, you seemed to have missed that.
Bloody Thursday happened, Friday Rush was using Santorum and his brother as a beard, so that he could cover his tracks, while helping newt as little as possible.
You seem unable to get past your bias and hear the true balance that Rush has been offering between Romney and Gingrich, his “balance” was part of the pre Debate efforts in this all important Florida primary for Romney.
I must agree to a certain extent.
Some topics MAY have been covered by the talk show hosts but, not often enough.
If Rush talked about the ineligibility as often as he does his tea or his golf game, more people might be aware of the problem-—same with the others.
They keep telling us that this is the most important election in our lifetimes, but they don’t talk about some of the more serious reasons WHY.
I’m through with buying their books, their tea, and everything WE’VE given them the power to hawk to us to gain even more money and power while the rest of us are losing our jobs and homes while screaming “talk about his ineligibility!!!”
Hell, Danae...they won’t even talk about Col. Rice’s “Open Letter to the Democrat Party”!!!!
They’re just not doing anything for me anymore....they’re fast going down the same road FoxNews has gone down...to irrelevance.
Rush walked all over Newt on Bloody Thursday, the morning of the all important debate.
I tend to agree. I take it a step further to say that they are deliberately NOT covering some of the things they should be. That is why I brought it up.
Maybe, these people think they are more a part of the entertainment industry, and not a real part of the conservative movement. That could be. In which case, they should be given the same gravitas that other entertainers get, instead of the respect they are accorded.
We shall see. Most likely what I have said here will just go right into the black hole and that will be it. I hope not, but I am not naive enough to think it will do much if any good. I have to try though.
He certainly wanted Romney over McCain when it was down to those two and Huckabee. But he has been very critical of Romney for much of this process. He was critical of Newt when he used Bain. He only mentioned his brother and Santorum at the very end of the show once, so the beard thing is ridiculous. He’s liked Santorum from the get go. I think he has a blind spot to how liberal Santorum is on a lot of issues at this point.
I won’t get into a pissing contest here, but I have inside cred on this issue.
Rush joined Drudge in Bloody Thursday leaving no doubt that after endorsing Romney in 2008, he is still a Romney man.
Pure tripe.
Rush was the second half of Bloody Thursday, he wanted to knock off Newt Gingrich.
When we went to bed Wednesday night, we were all ecstatic about this video which had just been posted here at FR, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec_Nunb6izo and we thought that it would get on Rush and on Drudge and carry Newt over the top, and destroy the vicious attacks on him and Reagan, and put the wind at his back.
Instead this is what we woke up to, and Rush used his shiv with relish, he and Drudge were ready for us.
Back to the audio sound bites. Nancy Reagan in Phoenix, the Goldwater Institute dinner in 1995. Number 26, 27, and 28.
NANCY: The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.
RUSH: Ronnie turned the torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress. Nancy Reagan. Now, she obviously didn’t know that Newt had been out there saying, “The era of Reagan was over” in 1988. If she’d-a known that she wouldn’t have said this. Here’s Newt Monday night in Tampa, he’s live on NBC. This is during the debate. Brian Williams said, “Mr. Speaker, you’ve been talking a lot about conservative principles in this campaign so far. Is that enough for you? Is that good enough to get you through here?”
GINGRICH: Look, I don’t want to spend my time commenting on Mitt. I’d like to just tell you that I started — I went to a Goldwater organizing session in 1964. I met with Ronald Reagan for the first time in 1974. I worked with Jack Kemp and Art Laffer and others to develop supply-side economics in the late seventies.
RUSH: Okay. That’s from the debate Monday night. Let’s go back to April 11th, 1988, a Washington news program, Newt Gingrich.
GINGRICH: I think this party in that sense is a very different party than it was, say, from the fights of the years of the Rockefeller/Goldwater process. A period in which, by the way, I was a Rockefeller state chairman in the South.
RUSH: Snerdley can’t believe it. (laughing) Snerdley’s mouth, his chin is on the desktop. (imitating Newt) “I tell you, I went to a Goldwater organizing session in 1964. I met with Reagan for the first time...” Both of these could be true. He could have gone to a Goldwater organizing session in ‘64, didn’t like it, and joined the Rockefeller campaign. But it does sound like back in 1988, I’ll say this — (interruption) Well, you got a debate tonight. It’s obvious they’re clearing the field for Romney. Back in 1988’s Newt’s making it plain he was a Rockefeller Republican. And, by the way, in 1988 that was your ticket to the establishment.
Remember, folks, the Republican establishment never liked Reagan. I know I say this over and over again. He didn’t like Reagan. He was Rockefeller’s state chair in 1968 in the South. In 1968, he was a Rockefeller state chairman, talks about going to a Goldwater meeting in ‘64. Remember, now, in 1988 the establishment was happy. They couldn’t wait to get rid of — in fact, Jeff Lord at American Spectator has written about some of the things that happened when the Bush 41 people showed up and took over the West Wing. They got rid of all the Reagan stuff. I forget the specifics. But in 1988 your ticket to the top of the GOP was to sign up for being a moderate. So at least best you could say maybe Newt was practicing opportunism there.
So that’s that. That’s the Newt stuff. It was kinder, gentler, the Bush 41 kinder, gentler. Thousand points of light. I was number 732, if you remember. I was number 732 of the thousand points of light. I even printed a certificate. I figured out how to use Pagemaker, so I printed my own certificate. I was number 732 out of a thousand points of light.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, every time I mention a blogger, it doesn’t matter what blog site I cite, other bloggers send me e-mails saying they’re phonies, they’re creeps. The hatred in the blogger community is funny. Sometimes I’m hesitant to mention bloggers ‘cause I don’t like getting e-mails, “That blogger, he’s a phony, he’s a thief, that was mine first, everybody steals.” But I’ve got a blog here, guy named Dan Riehl. He claims that the video of Newt bashing Reagan is bogus, this 1988 audio that we played of Newt saying that Reagan’s wrong.
Here’s the little blog post. “There’s a short excerpt of a 1988 C-SPAN video purportedly showing Newt Gingrich bashing Reagan when talking about how Bush, Sr. should run” his campaign, should not run as more Reagan, but do something new. Riehl writes, “As I suspected, it’s edited to give a false impression. What you don’t see is immediately after when Gingrich praises Reaganism and the Reagan platform. If you can’t watch it all, it begins at about 2:30 in to confirm it’s the same segment. It’s the minute or two afterward you also need to hear to understand that Newt wasn’t bashing Reagan at all. He was merely saying, Bush isn’t Reagan and the GOP needs something new to sell.”
So I knew something like this was gonna happen. It’s not really that it’s been doctored, but that it has been selectively chosen from. So I sent it up to Cookie ‘cause I can’t listen to it, I didn’t have the time to listen it. Cookie said, “Look, this thing is an hour long. I’m sure he praises Reagan at some point or another, but I wouldn’t say it’s doctored.” So my expert says it’s not doctored. The blogger says it’s been selectively edited or chosen. So I just wanted to get it out there. I think Cookie is protesting having to listen to an hour of Newt, basically, in order to find — (laughing) — what I asked her to find. He-he-he-he-he-he.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Cookie is defiant. She’s giving me a minute and a half after of the Newt bite and she’s insistent that nobody’s doctored this and nobody’s changed — and I’ve read the transcript, that’s true. Newt still says look, the eighties were great but we gotta look forward, people — people care about the future, da-da-da-da-da. He praises Reagan in the bite, which the first — the — the excerpted bite doesn’t include any of but it doesn’t change the fact that while praising Reaganism, he still says to George Bush, you — you’re wasting your time if you campaign on Reaganism. Nobody wants more of the past. We want to look forward, nothing changes about that. So the — the Cookster was right.
END TRANSCRIPT

I agree and the ones that you mention are also devout Marxists and need to be called on it. The people that vote for them don't realize the hell hole for which they are voting.
Well, I won’t ask what that inside cred is, but if you would, please pass up the food chain the Minor v Happersett eligibility issue. It is Obama’s Achilles heel, and is not a partisan or racist issue. Because if Minor holds true for Obama (and I support that it does) then it holds true for Rubio and Jindall et al. It is not about party, or genetics. It is about the constitution and a Supreme Court Ruling which defined Natural Born Citizen.
Thank you!
