>> Did Rush Limbaugh cause chaos for the Democratic Party?
I don’t think he really DID “cause” Hillary to win, even in Texas. Certainly not in Ohio.
The number of conservatives who crossed over is not knowable. Nor will it ever be known how they split their votes between O and C.
But just the idea that THEY think Rush was responsible, and it gets their knickers in a knot... that makes me smile.
After this episode of basically requesting Republicans do something legally allowable but morally wrong, I am giving up on Rush.
He now reminds me of Al Gore saying, “There was no legal authority...”
Adios, Rush. I won’t be listening to you anymore.
Carl Rove was on Fox&Friends the morning after. He said several of his acquaintances/friends called him and told him they voted for Clinton.
Cross-over voting was going on.
Millions of conservatives, including Rush, are fully aware of Hillary’s “math problem”.
“After this episode of basically requesting Republicans do something legally allowable but morally wrong, I am giving up on Rush.

Morally wrong? I doubt you were listening anyway.
While I understand the strategy behind it, I just don’t think I could bring myself to do it.
My boss crossed over, and showed me her voter ID card with DEMOCRATIC stamped across it. She said she was ashamed. I said she should be, and I was gonna start looking for a new job ASAP since I was afraid I couldn’t work for her anymore. ;)
You weren’t listening anyway. I’m sure you had no problem with dems crossing over and choosing McCain for us, did you?
I croosed over and did not get stamped “Democratic”. They just confirmrd my ID (thank God), and pointed me to the booths. One long, hot shower later, I was good as new!
This crossover activity brought on an idea. As we know, political parties are not in the Constitution and the two-party system even less so. Since the Republican Party is apparently disappearing as an agent of Conservatism, let’s disband and all join the Democrat Party. We would again have a voice and totally cancel out any advantages the Democrats are gaining by registering illegals and deceased people as Democrats. Something to think about.

I didn’t get my card stamped. I got a little paper chit instead.
I’m proud that I did what little I could to drive a stake through Hillary!s evil heart. I’m going to make up an inscription, frame it, and hang it on the wall.
Then again, I don’t need to worry that anyone will ever think I’ve gone over to the “dark side”. My life and my actions say otherwise. Your boss’s mileage may vary.
It doesn’t sound like you were “listening” in the first place. There is nothing wrong with what Rush suggested. I challenge you to prove otherwise.
If Rush couldn’t beat McCain.
How is it he can beat Hillary??
Good point. My wife and I voted for Hitlery too. It was definitely a strange feeling doing so. I did a hit of Maalox before going . . . it didn't help much.
I think it’s a despicable tactic, but Democrats have no room to whine. Turnabout is fair play.
Mrs. Clinton Threatens Rush
March 5, 2008
RUSH: “Now, Mrs. Clinton was on Fox News this morning with Steve Doocy, and Steve Doocy and Hillary had this exchange.”

At my precinct, they must have been expecting lots of crossover voters. They had a different line for crossover voters, and they had special "stalls" set up for us. That board on the toilet rocked around a bit, but it was OK I guess. Turnout was high, and I know space was tight!
Also, when we finished voting, they even had a special ballot counter for the crossover ballots! It looked like this -- was it the same way at your precinct?
How is it morally wrong to make a choice about which candidates you want to run in the general election? Obama is not qualified, Hillary is barely qualified. Obama can get the votes of the brain dead in the general election, Hillary will have a tougher time. I see no problem with making sure the brain dead don’t get their candidate elected.
Good call. I wish someone would tell me where it is written that:
1) Hillary would be more dangerous than Obama as president
2) Obama is more beatable that Hillary
3) Republicans shouldn't affect the outcome of a Democrat primary
