BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There's this ongoing battle about me being too conservative for the Republican Party and too powerful, and the Republican Party is scared of me, and nobody will stand up to me, and they're not gonna get anywhere until they have the guts to stand up to me because I'm too conservative and they need to be more moderate. They need to move to the center, but I won't let them. But really, how powerful am I? How good am I? And then people are out there saying, "Look at Limbaugh's track record in presidential races. He's 1-for-6."
In the first place I'm 3-for-6, but the whole premise is flawed because I don't pick a single candidate. I am not in charge of any candidate anywhere and his campaign. I don't choose the consultants. I don't choose the ad people. I've got nothing to do -- and never have had anything to do -- with one election in this country. Zilch, zero, nada. So this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. This is the kind of stuff that is just infantile, and it's insulting, and it's insulting to everybody's intelligence... --snip--
On the Republican side, it's not just truth. Sarah Palin wasn't wrong about anything. She didn't lie about anything. Sarah Palin embarrassed some people. So they had to get rid of her. The point is, the Republicans will not circle the wagons and defend very many. Conservatives will not circle the wagons and defend. Now, I defended Clarence Thomas not even knowing who he was 'cause I knew what happened. I knew the libs were lying about him because I know the libs.
There are some conservatives today, if Clarence Thomas was accused today about Anita Hill, would throw him overboard....

“We must have candidates who can take on the media.”
Today’s backstabbing media is worse than the East German Stasi. Bud sadly the media is the message, and talk radio can’t compete with the visual media’s propaganda and pablum to the low information voter.
The Left constantly engages in mock ridicule and feigned PC victimization. Even the Rush of Reason can’t combat that.
Gregg Gutfeld’s Red Eye is RushTV, and is the best program that can reach the LIV. It mocks and ridicules them back and comes on at the LIV’s prime time viewing hours.
I thoroughly enjoy listening to Rush, but he was late to the Savage message of Language Borders Culture. He thought he could educate us back to sanity, but the Stasi media has poured so much hate and division in this country that no one listens.
re: “But he goes astray IMO in two directions:
1) Backing and sucking up to GOP players like the Bushes, right or wrong,”
This is incorrect. I can’t speak for what Rush said about Bush 41 in the 1988 election because I didn’t start listening to him until 1989, but yes, he did support Bush 41 against Bill Clinton - there was no Republican primary in 1992 because Bush 41 was a sitting president. So, I don’t think it’s quite fair to say Rush “supported only Bushes” in 1992 since Bush 41 was the only Republican candidate against Clinton.
In 2000, I don’t recall him preferring any candidate during the primary process (nor in any election for that matter) - he did support statements from all the candidates when those statements supported conservative values. I do recall Rush questioning Bush 42’s so called “compassionate conservatism” early on in the primary, but other than that - he waited until the primary was decided before he openly supported the Republican candidate.
Bush 42 ran against Algore in 2000. I didn’t want Algore to be president. I preferred Bush 42 over Algore. So did Rush. I much preferred Bush W leading our nation after the 9/11 attacks rather than Algore. Yes, W blew it big time on other issues - would Algore have done better?
Rush has consistently supported conservative values and principles. You support the candidates that are closest to those values over the one who is furthest. I know this always angers the conservative “puritans” who always take their ball and go home if they don’t get the pet candidate they wanted.
All I remember on Free Republic during this time (and in the last election) was many “puritans” bashing every single Republican candidate as not being a “true conservative” or being “unelectable” or “couldn’t stand their own in a debate”, or this one is a “quitter” or that on is too “immoral” and not Christian enough, etc.
Conservatives always shoot themselves in the foot because they argue so much with each other that a strong, solid unity usually never occurs. I honestly believe that if Reagan had run in 2008, there would have been many on this site claiming he wasn’t a true conservative.
You could argue about whether or not Reagan was a true conservative.....but Reagan had a gift that won over people that didn’t necessarily agree with him on all of the issues.....currently there is no such candidate in the GOP. They don’t have nearly the political savvy that Reagan did. It’s not enough to be right on the issues, they also have to project themselves as a good leader. And there was nobody in the GOP fold the last campaign that fit that.

doesn’t sound like you were happy here in a past life, maybe it’s just me, you should study some history of track records of folk like Rush and such.

I think back to the 2003 Recall in California and how Rush just couldn’t openly endorse McClintock or say his name, something Hannity and Hewitt and other “conservatives” talk show hosts had no problem with doing as they backed Schwarzenkennedy openly.
Would Reagan have lost in 2008? Is FR full of ‘scoundrels’ (as you describe more than a few here)? obviously you prefer a nice clean process.. so would more than a few here as well. damn ‘puritans.
but then, I invoke Hillary.. ‘What difference does it make?’
as for the Bush dynasty.. when is enough enough? until the
NWO is official and globally established? sorry, rusty, your dog don’t hunt.
Fair enough. I say you and I resolve this difference of opinion between us as follows:
Line up all the Democrats and Lamestream Media against the wall;
Mow 'em down.
Problem solved.
Indeed. We couldn’t sort them into one group or the other - dead or alive.
Please.
Like his old man, who wanted to return to a true Constitutional Republic and who warned of the housing bubble, the Fed, etc., he was excoriated, worse so much here, for his World Police/drug policy that those same people turned around and ‘held their nose’ for a pro-gay, anti-2nd, NE liberal flip-flopper, Mitt.
And you expect they will treat the son as an independant man? One of the apples that falls close enough to the tree, but not TOO close?
More than likely, if they have a (R) after their name, no matter how ‘centrist’ or Dem-lite, they’ll vote for ‘em anyway...Gotta WIN, y’know!?
I suggest you view the documentary, The Money Masters. Even communists bitch about how they have to kow-tow to the financiers/banksters, and mainstream journalism is no different. Every major media company is owned by the international or national financiers who control the news.
The documentary can be purchased on Ebay, viewed for free on youtube (poor quality), or you can buy it at the following:

Seeing this DVD caused a paradigm shift in my understanding of historical events and what is happening in this country NOW!
If you have a dollar bill in your wallet, take it out and read what it says across the top: Federal Reserve Note. This is cheeky of the Federal Reserve Bank because it is privately owned and is not a part of the Federal government.
Our government doesn’t print its own money. The Federal Reserve Bank is owned by U.S. central banks which in turn are owned by corporations or front companies or individuals who do not want you to know that they print money out of thin air - nothing backing those notes - and provide it in exchange for Treasury Bonds which are interest bearing.
Every dollar our government receives involves a debt we citizens must pay to the bankstars.
Bill Still narrates the DVD and he is leading a campaign to change the monetary system in our nation.

Part of the problem, NormsRevenge, is that you don’t know which dog I’m hunting with. Fact is, I’m not hunting at all. I responded to the Freeper who said Rush supported all the Bushes regardless of what they said or did. That isn’t true.
As to McClintock, I don’t remember the 2003 California primary except that Schwarzenagger won. I don’t remember what Rush said in regard to that.
I don’t know what NWO is. A clean process? If by that you mean everyone getting along during the primary process, no, I don’t think that’s necessary - what I didn’t want is Barack H. Obama in the White House the first time or this time. According to the puritans, or maybe a better term would be - the “biteyourownnosers”, no one was good enough, anyone who disagreed with them was “no true conservative”.
Yeah, I guess you could say I’m bitter at the biteyourownnosers. Now our country is so much better off isn’t it?
But, NormsRevenge, what the hell do you care what I think, right? So, get your last good insult in at how I’m really a troll or a non-conservative or whatever makes you feel superior.
nwo is the new world order. bush the elder was the first rino president to say it out loud and support it openly.
If you refuse to learn history, you can’t very well expect what you DO say to be taken very seriously. Throwing our lot in with rinos has cost this country dearly on more levels than I can count.
You complain that we look for ‘purity’. I say we actually look for honor, principles, smarts, and honesty. That’s what we do. And when we found it, the entire machine, ‘republicans’ first, then dems, built one big machine and ran over it until they thought it was crushed.
Then they ‘offered’ us their own recruited, so-called conservatives who couldn’t hold a candle to it by convincing them they could actually win when they certainly knew better. Then they methodically destroyed each, one by one until nothing was left but obama in whiteface.
I don’t listen to talk radio anymore. It’s radio. It isn’t the Bible, and none of them are gods. They get paid to attract an audience. Period.
You Know Mesta, I am being serious when I say this, how many Republicans and sadly FReepers would support Ubama if he had an R by his name?
Imagine that, it would be "You don't want the Democrat to win do you?"
Yet most of those people are the same ones who bitch and moan about Sarah being an "embarrassment" to the party.

I still tune in occasionally and while I do get alot of information out of it, I do have one teny grip with Rush of late. He has realized that the Media will never call Ubama out for anything and the low information voter will go along like sheep and lap it all up. My grip with him is that he isn't offering a solution to the problem, other than "Join Freedom Works"
NO! The Answer has to be bigger than that!
And it starts by not bowing down to the GOP for not being the Democrats!
re: “You complain that we look for ‘purity’.”
Wrong. I complain that the so-called “puritans”, or “bitemyownnosers” as well as the establishment GOP destroyed every descent conservative primary candidate till all that was left was Romney (or McCain back in 2008). Then, all the “principled” conservatives, who helped destroy the other candidates because one or the other just wasn’t good enough, stayed home during the election because their guy didn’t win the primary, refusing to vote for Romney, proud in their “principles”, and helped elect, then re-elect the most demonic, evil man ever to hold the office of president.
The way it’s looking is that in the off year elections, the House will revert back to the most decadent, left-wing communist democrat party that ever existed. Then Obama’s power will be completely unchallenged.
If all conservatives and republicans had united - if only to stop this madman who is now in the White House - maybe there might be a chance to slow the destruction that is surely now coming - maybe there might have been a chance to turn things before the worst happens. I now have little hope, outside of God Himself intervening, that the United States can recover.
The Republican party is finished as a united political force. I do not blame the “puritans/bitemyownnosers” for that one. I blame them only for not uniting during the election to defeat the Evil that is now in the White House. No, the blame for destroying the Republican party is totally the establishment GOP Rinos.
The establishment, blue-blood Rinos not only did everything they could to squash the Tea Party prior to the election, they are now continuing on the same stupid road. They see the Tea Party as the problem.
A new party will have to come along tied together by American conservatism, but I don’t think there is enough time to do it. I don’t think America will last that long. I pray I’m wrong.
I don’t see Rush or Hannity or Levin being to blame. They did the best they could to stave off the worst. We couldn’t unite and the enemy did. I fear the United States is a dead man walking.
I believe in God, I believe in His Son and that He is sovereign, but I am very bitter to any who refused to unite against Obama. We could all see it coming, yet still we didn’t unite to defeat him. If the good can’t unite against absolute evil, how will we ever defeat or change what has happened.
I believe Obama has already destroyed our nation. There may be a United States in name, but the United States as founded is, I’m afraid, gone forever.
I should not have even posted anything. What is the point? I guess it’s hard to quit hoping. Only a merciful God can stop what is now coming.
Exactly.
Precisely totally right.
Bravo.
you proved you lacked the knowledge to wield a broad brush with authority. if you’re insulted, it’s self-inflicted. as to superior, is that all you care about being? how old hat.. and insulting. ;-]
You’re probably right about Rush. I only listened to him once years ago for about 30 seconds before my father snapped the car radio off.
I was on a totally different subject. My fault I’m sure since the thread was about Rush.
