Interesting ...Bain ...Clearchannel ...Limbaugh ...Hmmm...etc...worth a listen my friends .
Spot on !
I don’t think Rush is “owned” by anybody, he has a large enough nest-egg to do whatever he wishes. That is why I’m pissed that he is sitting back while Mitt builds momentum and Rush is even helping him out. I know that Rush risks alientating some of his audience by picking one candidate over another, but he readily reams Paul so why can’t he ream Mitt who would be just as awful as a Pres. Paul.
“I hope this stuff is not true about Rush.”
____________________________________________
I do not think Rush needs Clear Channel.
He could hang up his rock and roll shoes today and still
live like a king for the rest of his life.
I think Rush will push whoever is most likely to beat the Communist.
Rush is, and always has been a strong and clear voice for
traditional conservative Americans and the traditions that made America great.
If some are jealous of what he makes, tough sheet.
“They talk the conservative talk but when push came to shove, they chose the marxist over a conservative.”
_________________________________________
TOTAL NONSENSE
“Havent you heard, if you dont hate Romney enough, youre working for him.”
Rush doesn’t hate Romney, he defends, protects, and promots him everday on his show and his website.
Rush is smart enough to compare and contrast the rheoric of Newt and Romney and their leadership experience.
Romney talks a conservative game but he has and does lead from the extreme left just as Obama does. Both he and Obama are marxist. LOOK AT THEIR RECORDS. Their voting records are the same, their rhetoric is the same.
Compare and contrast that with Newt. Sure Newt has said some dumb and silly things, some of the things he has said are dumb are indefensible. But look at the man’s RECORD. He, at times, flirts with the left but HIS LEADERSHIP AND VOTING RECORD have always been from the right.
“This crap reminds me of the lefts claim about the tea partiers all being paid by the Koch brothers”
Their is ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. The tea party was paid by NO ONE but Rush, Hannity, Ingram, and others are all paid by Baian Captial.
One is TRUTHS THE OTHER IS RHETORIC. There is a difference.
Including Michael Savage , whom I listen to every day .
Rush is a Clear Channel partner. He owns the controling interest in his own program, which is why every liberal effort to have him “fired” is doomed to failure.
Neither Romney or Clear Channel are telling Rush what to think or say.
Furthermore Rush had many favorable things to say about Perry before Perry entered the race.
I think Rush was sincerely upset with Newt last week for a reason, he doesn’t want to see him fail.
Rush has very, very lightly and with kid gloves gone after Mitt. But u nor anyone can deny the fact that the man has savaged and attacked Newet almost daily for the last few weeks.
His website has been NOTHING BUT PRO ROMNY PROPAGANDA. You can believe as u wish, that’s Ameria but his website speaks for itself.
I challenge all to go see the garbage Rush had been putting up on that website lately. Pure propaganda and pure garbage. As it said, he’D make PRAVDA PROUD.
Btw, been listening to Rush since 89 and have bought almost all of his books. I was one of his first and biggest supporters.
They would replace them with someone just as talented.
LOL But Newtie’s little attack seems to be helping Romney most of all.
Really makes me wonder what his goal here is.
“It’s not.”
It’s not entirely unreasonable and may have nothing to do with Romney yet. Rush was totally enthused by Ross Perot until he got called to the White House by President George H.W. Bush. Two days later, he was pushing Bush and started implying that one of the greatest captains of industry, and supporters of our military, was a kook. He never passed up an opportunity to belittle Ross Perot. We grow kooks in Texas, don’tchaknow? Perot, GW Bush, Perry, Paul.
Rush began omitting Governor Perry’s name from the “list” of candidates weeks ago. Not omitting him from contenders. Omitting him from Candidates. Levin was questioned about the very same thing last week and he meekly stated if Perry would rise above 1% in any poll, he would mention him. Who the ell is he? Not mention a candidate who is a veteran, a sitting governor, head of the Republican Governors Association???? Does he think we don’t get it? It was Levin pushing Santorum. WHo Rush is pushing will be evident shortly since the king speaks last. You listen to all the other talk show hosts and it becomes clear for months. The rant by Hannity against Perry and Newt last week was insane. I thought he was going to pass out. Git er done, Hannity. Good boy. Perry against free enterprise??? From the state with the 13th largest economy in the world? Hannity shrunk in intellectual stature (if he had any) when he began that Clear Channel rant. Newt against free enterprise? Give me a break, Rush. Get real. Oh, yeah, and pick the Broncos, “Trust me.”
I remember the first day I ever heard Rush in 1989 and have listened ever since. I listened as he evolved. I was upset when he succumbed to White House suggestions. I’m upset with him now. Marco Rubio cannot run for president until the Supreme Court defines Natural Born Citizen. Rush knows that. Rush was extremely high on Governor Jindal and it’s the same situation. By the way, Jindal endorsed Perry.
NOT TRUE. Rush sold his soul to the Bushes for a sleep-over at the White House.
He can be told what to do and he proved it.
A: Rush could name his price to move to satellite tomorrow - something he has been begged to do for a couple of years.
B: Rush has more money than he will ever spend as it is now, and would never change his editorial bent for anyone for any reason because, well, he doesnt have to. (new wife notwithstanding....)
C: If Rush and CC divorced tomorrow, Rush retires for a few days or weeks maybe with zillions in the bank. Or maybe retires. BUT - CC has a bunch of suddenly worthless radio properties, many with liens on them. Moreover, the Premiere Radio Network division loses a huge chunk if its revenue and leverage over night.
No, CC clearly needs Rush more.
"Their is ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. The tea party was paid by NO ONE but Rush, Hannity, Ingram, and others are all paid by Baian Captial."Wrong! Rush, Hannity, Ingram and others are NOT "paid by Baian Captial" [sic], they are paid by their SPONSORS. Your "TRUTHS" [sic] is not truth at all.
Time will tell. Romney isn’t gaining much ground in the South.
Conservatives are definitely spliting the vote but its up to them to decide what to do. Newt, Santorum, Perry, and Paul have a decision to make. They work out a deal or Romney is clearly gonna be the nominee.
Its all about egos at this point.
Would one say that Rush "worked" for Howard Dean?
It is getting worse isn't it? The trashing the candidates and the talk show hosts are receiving is what one would expect to read over at DU......
