Gore wrecked the INS, Reno wrecked Justice, now Leahy wants these government agencies to handle terrorists?
As for those who would criticize Rush Limbaugh for writing an opinion piece in the Washington Post, I wonder if you think conservatives like George Will should give up their day jobs. Good grief....conservative thought in the WashPost is so rare, we should be cheering. (Maybe Rush's deafness will cause him to seek out more writing opportunities. I hope so! People who would never listen to his show just might read him.)
Actually, I am genuinely interested in where you think Rush has changed over the last 10 years? I don't see it.
Exactly what I said, Pat backs Bush most of the time. Remember, he took on Kristol, Perle, et al 40 signers in their insane idea to forge big and first into Iraq. He said it was Bush's war, not Perle's.
You are in serious denial.
Who's in denial?? Pat has been right longer and more often than any Politician or Pundit. Try denying that!
Bless Pat, the one and only straight truthfull voice, reminding us what we were, what we are, and where we are hell bent on going. And he does it with such flare, there is no equal.
LIMBAUGH IN THE POST: A terrific op-ed by Rush today in - yes - the Washington Post. I know, I know, it's partisan, but it's also extremely smart and very telling. I'm particularly happy to see the crack at Pat Leahy. The dumbest thing ever said about Limbaugh is that he's dumb. (Memo to Rush: you're made for weblogging. Join the gang.) But what's more interesting to me is the media story here. Fred Hiatt's op-ed page is really sharp these days - in sad contrast with the monochrome New York Times page where even Safire is anti-Bush. What's different is that Hiatt isn't afraid of actual conservatives - not conservatives only when they bash other conservatives - but the real variety. At the same time, the New York Observer is reporting on Conrad Black setting up a new rival to the Times in New York City. You know what this is all about? Diversity. Real diversity. And about time too.- 11/28/2001 01:13:09 AM
Well, Bush Sr. lost, dumb Dole lost and Dubya lost the popular vote. They were all shoe-ins, but didn't offer a gutsy difference. Now, that's what I call 'sucking'.
In the first two cases Pat would have been a better candidate, but his Party elites velified him and the conservative base losing what should be a comfortable margin.
Rush at one time was in the center of the ring, now he's in one of the corners, the GOP corner, win at any cost corner.
Rush concentrates on the two fighters in the ring and now makes political arguements, rather than 'The way it should be' arguements.
The real freedom warrior is the lone challenger Pat Buchanan and he merits a prominate position on the 'conservative' stage. He has a bigger 'flash light' than Rush. Rush doesn't shine his like he used to. He skips too many corners!
Missouri has produced a lot of great Americans and Limbaugh is one of them.
I guess you don't remember when he guest hosted the Pat Sajack show and the producers stacked the audience against him. A black women even physically assaulted him. It got so out of hand, before the show was over they had to remove the audiance and Rush finished solo.
Now apologize for lying. After all, Rush had to do it according to you. Now its your turn.
Lets see, Bush41 lost the 1980 primary to Reagan and was selected as his VP and won. He then won in 1988 and became President. Losing reelection in 1992. Not what I would call a looser or a "sucky" candidate. Bob Dole a shoe-in! Your kidding, right? And current PRESIDENT Bush was such a sucky candidate that he is PRESIDENT.
Now, would you like to lay out Pat's electoral history? Lets see... loser, loser, loser, loser. Let me know when he gets a win.
He definitely got that right.
I think you and many other posters are missing Rush's point about FDR. FDR is loved by the left and held up as America's greatest president EVER. They nary speak a bad word about him or anything he did. Today, President Bush engages in policy similar to FDR, but not nearly on the grand scale that FDR did and the left is shitting bricks. They are wildly waiving their arms about and screaming "Unconstitutional! Consult congress! Civil Liberties! You can't do this!" Well, he can. Reason, FDR and the Supreme courts constitutional approval. Rush is pointing out the lefts hypocricy and failure to grasp reality in this situation.
