You don't seem to think very well! You postulate as if you know something, but shoot that down, by typing!
He used to make me laugh, but that was in 1994... I listened to him from when he started on WRAL in NC, with a two hour show. I still tune in, but usually when WW, or some other good sub, is on the golden microphone...
It does takes a pretty vacuous mentality to listen to him these days, though... and I think you might fit! He says things repeatedly so those that have trouble understanding can finally get it.
I love to read these responses, from you, with undying loyalty, though. I just wish it were better placed. Why not spend some time working to elect a gum't that truly is conservative, not the Bush/Clinton type, which believes that throwing money into a pot makes a good stew....
Rush Limbaugh has contributed to the Republican revolution, but he is not the revolutionary. He is an entertainer, who came onto the scene at the right time. I think he should have a gold framed photo of the Snapple people.
I have also given up donating to the Republicans. They speak with forked tongues. I am a conservative, and believe the Constitution is set in stone, not a living document. I don't appreciate this gum'ts willingness to ignore it. Rush is their cheerleader.
Am I jealous of Rush. Maybe a little, but not of his wealth, or popularity, and certainly not enough to be my cause for posting. I am more jealous of his ability to sell himself (and ties, coffee cups, etc)... He does it as well, or better, than anyone, and there seem to be a lot of buyers.
Sorry, but I had buyer's remorse, after I got to use the product more... I can tune into him for five minutes, these days, and get the whole jist of the show. He continues to beat those dead horses, ad nauseum...
FreeRepublic is far more entertaining, and informative, and I can pay to subscribe if I wish, or not. There is no difference in access...(thank you JimRob, and the "crew")
It isn't rocket science, it is entertainment. You don't need to walk on water, to see that Rushbo is taking full advantage of his 15 minutes. He is just another guy, trying to make a buck, like all of us. He also has abused drugs, and been given a pass... by you, apparently.
I am not sorry I stepped on your toes. Some of us don't think the sun rises for him, nor sets for him... he just enjoys the sunshine...
I do, too! But, I don't need Rush to tell me what, or how, I should think!
I guess you don't think well enough, on your own, by the tone of your post!
(Sorry I mispelled a word in my previous posting. I obviously was not using my mind well enough...flogs himself repeatedly to satiate the readers animosity, NOT!)
I am no fan of Rush and don't hang on his every word. I also don't presume to be a judge of character. I know how easy it is to be addicted to drugs and how hard it is to get them out of your life. I will not condone his behavior nor excuse it. I can relate to his situation regardless of his wealth or lack thereof. So what if he sells his stuff on his website? It's his stuff, his website. But to call Rush a lying druggie is going too far. I can't enuciate concervatism as well as he can nor debate the libs around me on the points of policy as well as he. Of that I am jealous. I use my whole brain just to keep up and he uses only half of his. I will not criticize him even after walking a mile in his moccassins.......
I'm so sorry that you want to feel superior to Rush listeners. That is your right. The fact that you get most of your news from FR and other internet sources is undersandable. I also use them extensively.
Having said that, your point will be more appropo when each and every thread on FR recieves 15,000,000 hits a day.
Your main gripes, seem to be that Mr. Limbaugh became addicted to pain killers, and that he repeats himself.
The first I think would be between himself, the legal system and his doctors.
The second could be, the old adage of, "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them." I think this would be between himself and his audience.
Now then, why is it so important to you that I not listen to Rush Limbaugh?
I guess you don't think well enough, on your own, by the tone of your post!
Perhaps you should rededicate this particular line to Yourself, with the added admonishment of, If you don't think to well, don't think to often.
pageonetoo: "I don't need Rush to tell me what, or how, I should think!"
pageonetoo: "Am I jealous of Rush. Maybe a little .. jealous of his ability to sell himself"
pageonetoo: "I have also given up donating to the Republicans."
pageonetoo: "..into.. pot .."
pageonetoo: "I would rather smoke a joint, but it's prohibited!"
So I was right. He won't carry your "legalize pot" agenda for you. LOL
Why not spend some time working to elect a gum't that truly is conservative,
