If the American public had of been listening to Rush or any of us for that matter...

Actually, Rush used his radio show during the primaries to encourage Republicans to cross over and vote for Obama, because he and many others on the Right thought O would be easier to beat in the general election.

The Right's pathological fear and hatred of Hillary Clinton, along with it's equally pathological inability to rally around a genuinely competitive Republican candidate contributed to Obama's election. These were not the only reasons O won, but they contributed greatly to his win.

I think you’re wrong. Rush wanted people to cross over and vote for Hillary to keep her in the race.

Actually, I thought he was encouraging cross overs to vote FOR Hillary, especially in those late primary states like PA.

The above statement is factually - false. After the Republican candidate was effectively decided, he urged people to vote for Hillary, not Obama, for the express purpose of exposing Obama for what he was. it was called operation chaos.

No, mcjuan cost us the election... he was leading until the economy collapsed and he rushed back to the District of Corruption to institute his communist dream. There is less than 1 degree of separation between hussein the muzzie and juan of amnesty.

Others above have corrected you, but to add....it was clear old media wasn’t willing to bloody Obama so an extended Dem primary provided Hillary the only chance of doing so.

Actually, it's obvious you don't listen to Rush. It was exactly the opposite: he was encouraging people, through "Operation Chaos," to vote for Hillary, since McCain and his supporters made it more than obvious they preferred to run against Obama -- which worked out well, didn't it?

Ignorance is not admirable.

nevadan writes: No, it was the exact opposite. Rush encouraged people to vote for Hillary to keep the Democrat primary close - so close that it might come to a floor fight between Hillary and Obama at their convention. It didn’t happen, but wouldn’t it have been great?

Actually, "Operation Chaos" was about getting people to cross over and vote for Hillary! in the primaries - not so she would be nominated, but to make sure the fight went on as long as possible and that Obama got bloodied up before the general - since the press was not going to challenge him on their own, Rush figured Hillary would.

Excuse you? Rush urged people to vote for Hillary to prolong the fight because the Republicans were too gutless to damage Obama’s halo. He used Hillary as a vehicle to do it. So Stop with the lie otherwise.

It's clear you never listened to Rush when he talked about his operation.

He knew Obama was going to be “the one.” The crossover voting was just to keep HRC is longer so more dirt would come out.

Oh, well, try listening for a while.

Obviously you don't listen to rush he told everyone to vote for Hillary. He was trying to do what was right for the country knowing the Hillary would harm the country far less than the leftist Saul Alinsky Studying Obama.

What election did Rush advocate voting for Bama? Hillary was the one Rush championed called it 'operation chaos'.

Well I doubt many crossed over and voted for Obama..No matter what the media said I cannot picture any conservative vote for Obama..we knew what he is and what more than likely happened was some did not vote at all..I voted but could not stand the idea of even McCain becoming president until he brought in Sarah Palin..All in all the republicans not the conservativesa are crooks too..I am a conservative not republican..And we both know there is a lot of difference now day in those two..

I hope you understand my post I hav enot had coffee yet this morning..LOL!
