Why does this feel like a war?

because it is.

It's definitely war! The RATs have been 'the enemy' to me since the 'Get Two for One' Clintoons first appeared in the primaries of the '92 Presidential election.

And then there was Hillary running for Senate in NY, then the 2000 FL recount, Jumpin' Jim Jeffords and little Tommy Dasshole, and the Torricelli-Lautenberg thing, and the Wellstone "rally" last year, and the Ninth Circus Court...

[per loin]

This will play big in the morning. It's likely timed to take Rush out before Hillary's announcement.

I suppose it depends upon where the emails originated.

She was the maid so I suppose it's possible that she could have been in a position to send emails to herself from Rush's computer occasionally.

It's her claim to have worn a wire to tape him that makes me think there something here.

[Fledermaus]

Now, now boys...behave.

[GeronL]

She must be a major dealer or something, no maid.

I think its a frame up. Ed Shohat will not work for the common drug dealer

"I compare you to Barbara Boxer defending Clinton in the Monica scandal."

Are you from Planet X????

If you don't like Rush don't listen.

He isn't an elected official. Your comparison is bogus.

If people don't listen he will not be on the air. So I would suggest you vote with your feet (or ear).

It sure sounds like you have an agenda? What is it?

[nopardons]

Yes, I know...I actually DID read the links on him, but thanks. :-)

Wrong! Most doctors under prescribe pain meds for fear of undergoing audits by The DEA. Cancer patients, even terminal patients, suffer as a result.

Sad but true. Oxycontin is (i believe) a class III drug, which means the prescription is in triplicate form and a refill cannot be called in. You have to get another prescription from your doctor each time.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

This is either an attempt to "flush Rush" or at least keep him down for a while. Sounds like something big is coming ( not just leakgate ) and the Dems need major cover.

[nopardons]

And Carol wasn't the ONLY one, to sue and win, IIRR.

"2) Start agitating with demands that the GOP national organization start playing HARDBALL. Only they have the power to dig up the damaging information and then do something with it."

There's the problem. They don't hardball because, while not nearly as lacivious, they have their own skeletons and play ball just like the RATS on most accounts. That's why voting for a RAT is voting for a communist and voting for many Republicans is the equivalent of voting for a RAT of 20 or 30 years ago...or more! The whole landscape has shifted left politically to where we are fighting just to keep the country aware of it's origins. And too many of the GOP leadership are compromised people of shady integrity themselves. It's sad...

[GeronL]

Wilma Cline has to be a made-up name

[lainie]

I'm sorry. I must seem really stupid to you right now :-)

Just focused on one train of thought I guess.

[nopardons]

And Carol wasn't the ONLY one, to sue and win, IIRC.

At this rate, by the end of the week, the media will have Rush involved in the Laci Peterson murder.

[hmmmmm]

They will and there's not much we can do about it except post as much of the truth as we can find, as quickly as we can find it. We can also not give up hope and remember that it wouldn't be this intense unless they were desparate and running scared. This is a mess of their making and it's their's to prove, we have the facts. This almost seems like a last ditch effort to throw everything they have left at the walls to see what sticks. I don't think it's a matter of slippery walls...

[Howlin]

I am a gull, not a buoy.

[Yaelle]

Whatever happens, we must mae sure that we do not let Rush fold over this. We need him on the air. If he needs time to clean up (though I think he probably has since this happened last year, if true), we need him back on the air soonest.
