Rush Greeted Like Rock Star

Still, the GOP faces a major political problem that can no longer be ignored, he warned. "The Republicans' failure to understand the American people's building rage on illegal immigration" could give rise to a third party candidate, he said, who could tip the 2008 presidential race to the Democrats, much the same way Ross Perot's campaign did in 1992.

I hope the GOP is paying close attention to what Rush is saying about guest worker proposals. Rush has always done a good job of accurately reporting the mood of the Republican base.

Hedgecock is BORING!

He takes a far larger percentage of angry Dems, Libs and Leftists than does Rush, which makes the show pretty lively IMHO.

[Osage Orange]

What do you know....? You're just a war criminal.

[Katy_Katarina]

Well.....let's see. These people pay $40 to see Rush and they expect him to get booed?

Lack of common sense as usual.

[Kaslin]

I actually like Tom Sullivan also. The worst substiutute he once had imho was Drudge> Drudge acted like it was his show.

[Katy_Katarina]

Roger Hedgecock is a complete obnoxious pompous unlikable idjit. I don't like that guy or his voice or his attitude at all. Rush's ratings must take a real dive when that guy is on.

[Kaslin]

Do you remember the great editorial he had last year. I can't remember what it was, but I am sure some Freepers do

[snarkytart]

>>When was the LAST time Rush asked where Hanoi Kerry's Form 180 was?<<<


That is because Kerry lost!

[DoctorMichael]

".......Roger Hedgecock is a complete obnoxious pompous unlikable idjit......"

As Rush has said many times: "The Left hates a person who displays confidence in their convictions". {/paraphrase}

[Kaslin]

He is not. But then that is your opinion, and opinions are a dime a dozen. Or if I want to use the other phrace. You get my drift, I gather

"The Republicans' failure to understand the American people's building rage on illegal immigration"

That is the issue which really irks Conservatives. However, I don't know a Conservative would cut off his nose to spite his face over that one. After all, NEITHER party has or will effectively address the illegal immigration matter and so nothing gets done. Except for Homeland Security issues, illegal immigration would not even have the attention is does now. I don't believe American Conservatives would switch votes to the Democrats, who embody EVERYTHING Conservatives oppose, just for a Liberal 'promise' to fix illegal immigration. NOT!! What? Throw the baby away with the bath water, just to spite who?????

[libertyman]

I think you can see a lil bit of libertarian thought in their lyrics: "2112", "Something for Nothing", "Freewill", "Closer to the Heart", "A Farewell to Kings", "The Trees" (which seems to focus on the class warefare dogma of the Left), just to name a few! All of these songs seem to hint towards good, responsible government, individual liberty, etc.

[Kaslin]

Since Rush didn't serve in the military wouldn't it be hypocritical for him to call for Kerry to sign Form 180? Did Thomas Lipscom serve? I found it very hypocritical when Terry McAwful and Fatso Moore who have never served on second in the US Forces accused the president of being AWOL or a deserter.

[Destro]

Rush treated like a Rock star?

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll!!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Earlier threads:

• Rush slams Democrats, receives cheers (Limbaugh appearance/fundraiser in San Jose )
• Radio host's royal welcome

T'was a fun event for us here in San Jose.

[Pylot]

Rush faithfully reminds Bush that he is missing the point on illegal immigrants. Hopefully the message will get through sooner rather than later!

[SueAngel]

I saw him several years ago at "Dan's Bake Sale" in Ft. Collins. We sold bumper stickers at the event (and sold out). It was a huge event for Colorado, and it was great to see him!

[No phonys allowed]

Rush is right...if the Republican's don't get off their butt and do something of substance about illegal immigration they will hand the white house to Hill and Bill!!!

[IGBT]

..hopefully we'll get a chance to hear a recording of the event. Rush's support and contributions to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society are to be applauded..we will all benefit from their research.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>Limbaugh also seemed to revise earlier criticism of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for not being conservative enough, telling the audience, "I was wrong."

Good move, Rush. Now maybe Hannity will see the error of his ways and get his head out of Arnold's liberal butthole!
