The world's most listened-to talk radio host, Rush Limbaugh (over 30 million regular listeners) has developed a program known as "Operation Chaos." This program is designed to get conservatives, Republicans and others to register as Democrats and cross over to vote in primary states, to keep the contest going up until the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Many feel that "Operation Chaos" has helped to keep Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), the former First Lady and wife of former President William "Bill" Clinton, in the race against the neophyte candidate Senator Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL). With Senator Clinton still in the running, pressure has mounted on the Democrat's so-called "Super Delegates" (mostly elected officials and other poo-bahs) to choose between Senators Obama and Clinton.
Details on Senator Obama's relationship with his controversial, racist and anti-American pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, his friendship and work with former Weather Underground terrorist and communist Bill Ayers, and his shady dealings with financier Tony Rezko would not have become an issue without Mrs. Clinton staying in the race. Similarly, Mrs. Clinton's lies about her Bosnia trip and other gaffes would have not become well known without Limbaugh's campaign.
Some feel that Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" merely makes it more likely that Senator Clinton will be the nominee and defeat the presumptive GOP nominee, Senator John McCain, Vietnam hero and former POW. I don't agree: At this point, I feel that the American public is beginning to see that both Obama and Hillary are fatally flawed and not deserving of the White House. Senator McCain, with all his weaknesses and contradictions, is head and shoulders above a man two years out of the state legislature and a conniving, lying shrew that reminds many men of their ex-wife.
Neither Clinton nor Obama spent a day in uniform, and neither has any real-world executive, foreign policy or administrative experience. No, when the rubber hits the road, the American people will make the right choice, and Mr. Limbaugh helped make that happen.
All Americans should feel grateful that he used his "bully pulpit" to expose the Democrats for the unpatriotic, socialist, tax & spend leftists that they truly are. If you're like me and can remember the disasterous Carter administration, you know that we cannot afford another far-left president like that!
During this time, Democrats will also be spending their wads attacking each other, instead of attacking (and defining) McCain, and the MSM will be similarly preoccupied, while McCain is free to do whatever he can to make his case and to raise funds.
The premise also has to do with the hope that enough Republicans will stop whining about McCain for long enough to defeat either Hillary OR Obama, no matter who is nominated by the Democrats.
While unconvinced when this all began, I now find myself in agreement with Rush (who probably understands that political culture in the USA far better than anybody). Furthermore, even the MSM is grudgingly reporting evidence that these objectives are being fulfilled.
Nothing succeeds like success.
On the other hand, I like the publicity as a form of payback. I think that Democratic crossover voters influenced the success of McCain in some of the closer GOP primaries.
I have no idea if the battle between the 2 losers is increased by Rush or not...but I did get a call tonight from Hillary to vote for her on Tuesday...I have always been registered Republican and never never voter Democrap...
That just makes me think the Dems may well believe Rush has an effect on Republican voters...
As far as Democratic crossover voters influenced the success of McCain in some of the closer GOP primaries. I have too agree they did...if conservatives voted, the outcome would have been different for McCain
Have always been suspicious of Perot's candidacy.
Her socialist rant. Ask not what you can do for your Country, but what your Country can do for you! Phhtttt!

Watching that happen twice made it crystal-clear to me.
Same thing happened w/ Bush and Nader, twice.
That's why Reagan got shot. Moving too far too fast. Apparently didn't listen. Same w/ Kennedy. Makes it interesting to watch but depressing to know it's all fixed anyway.
If you're talking about RINO McCain, I agree.
Hussein is up next in a few minutes.
Judging by some of the comments, Operation Chaos is not only affecting the dems but maybe the GOP and some Freepers as well.
Wish it were so. Most of the BO supporters will crawl over broken glass to vote against McCain, even if it means voting for Hillary. But cheer up, a lot of Dems that voted for her in primaries will vote for McCain as long as his Veep selection works. A lot of Hillary's "support" is just anti-BO -- not racist, but Hillary is running more to the center than Obama.
I think a lot of Democrats are going to hold their nose and vote for Ralph Nader. Probably some Republicans, too.
He was right because the media and hollywood are going to overwhelmingly work for Obama’s election. It would have been a tsunami of mainstream support. Tom Hanks was the first. Hilary’s job is to make him unelectable so his base will fail. If he’s elected, she’ll never be president.
Sure they would have, just would have happened in the fall, after the conventions. There is no way that story would have been missed, operation chaos or not.
okay, got it. I thought you were referring to something I said in my post.
Why should’ve guam gone for obama?
Bill let her skate big time.
The Obama Pandering Bus is on the dias. (Hussein)
How was rush an impediment to fred?
