Re: Billboard for Rush
Rat Party ^ | 03/10/2009 | Jen O'Malley Dillon, Democrats.org

Posted on 03/10/2009 8:46:27 AM PDT by iowamark

Last week, I asked if you had a message you'd like to send Rush Limbaugh. The response was overwhelming. We received tens of thousands of submissions, and we picked the top five:

* "Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure"

* "Hope and change cannot be Rush'd"

* "Failure is not an option for America's future"

* "We can fix America, just don't Rush it"

* "Rush: Say yes to America"

Now, we're putting it up for a vote. Decide which slogan Rush will see in his home town.

The slogan with the most votes will be put on a billboard where Rush can't miss it.

It's up to you to let Rush know that Americans reject his desire to see President Obama -- and our country -- fail.

Vote for your favorite slogan now:

------Original Message------ From: Jen O'Malley Dillon, Democrats.org Subject: Your billboard for Rush

Submit your slogan I'm Jen O'Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.

If you're anything like me, then you've had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.

Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he's unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.

Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President's jobs plan was "just saying no."

The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh -- the chairman of the Republican National Committee -- even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.

But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we'll put on a billboard where he can't miss it -- in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we'll place on a billboard right in his hometown?

We'll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.

If Republican leaders aren't willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country's future depends on it. Rooting for the President's failure is rooting for our country to fail.

To get America back on a path to prosperity, we'll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party -- as Republican leaders have done -- is not the answer.

Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we'll choose the best one to put in Rush's own "backyard":

I thought this was going to be a thread about our side coming up with a competing billboard FOR Rush.

That would be fun. We can fund it.

The town Rush lives in doesn’t allow billboards, so they will have to put it in a neighboring town where he will rarely see it. Hopefully, Rush will find a way to laugh at it anyway.

..put a condom, on that.

“The government today announced that it is changing its national symbol to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government’s political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of $ricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually being screwed. Dang, it just doesn’t get more accurate than that”.

I don't resent Obama, I resent the 53% who voted for him without knowing one damned thing about the significance of their votes.

Rush will be a very busy man, he's got to peel off some of the layers of this onion the MSM used to cover the stench of Hussein Obama Chicago style communism.

Perhaps it's just me, but they all pretty much sound like they could be positive towards Rush. Is my mind going?

"Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure"no we didn’t we don’t want to Rush to failure, thank you.

"Hope and change cannot be Rush'd"ditto the above

"Failure is not an option for America's future"of freakin’ course it isn’t, Obama, so back off!

"We can fix America, just don't Rush it" stop “Rushing” things already!

"Rush: Say yes to America"well, of course!

Anywho, it’s funny as all get out!

The Dems want Rush to apologize for the “Ted Kennedy Memorial Health care” remark. He should do so and call for it to be named the Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial Bill.
