Quote surprised to receive a phone call last hour with a recorded message from Rush. Those of you that have listened to his show know he does not typically do direct call to action stuff. In the past he has only done so when Democrats have falsely claimed he told his listeners to do something, such as call Congress, and so he does it to show what it would be like had he actually done it. So I was very surprised to get a call of him.
The call was encouragement to go to the polls and "support the team" and vote for Republican candidates tomorrow. He cited judge appointments, taxes, Democrat liberal agenda among other things as reasons to go to the polls tomorrow.
Thank you. Been lurking for awhile, decided to join/post after this since I was certain nobody had posted about it yet.
And for those wondering, I am in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District. The Boswell/Lamberti race.
Yes I also got one from Newt. Been hit hard here with the phone calls around here. On Saturday I think I received no less than 7 or 8 calls from different parties, organizations, candidates and others. Had messages from the President and McCain. I wish I'd have been away so they'd be on my answering machine.
A friend told me he got one from Ben Stein. Anyone else get a message from him? I wanted his too. ;)
I SWEAR I read through it first. Dunno how I missed that. Didn't notice the spell check button. :\
BTW.. apologies if this is a duplicate. I have replied a few times to posts and they have not shown. up.
I can assure you I am not a member of DU. Maybe I should have waited for another day to first post.
I've gotten TWO from McQueeg, one from Laura Bush, and three from my Congresscritter.
Awesome! I heard that the Dems have celebrities stumping for them. Nice to know that we have Rush doing the same. Sure wish I'd get one of his calls. :)
Rush should be above that.
He was "above" going along with all the second-tier radio hosts when they were lured to the White House. He knew he could have Bush and Cheney come to him...which they did.
The recorded calls (which I hate) are beneath him.
I got one a few days ago from Ahhhnold. As soon as I realized what it was I slammed the phone with a grunt. My seven year old asked me who was on the phone...I told him it was Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
His eyes got big, his jaw dropped, and he said: "...and you hung up on him?!?!?"
...priceless!
My apologies on the premature zotting SnakeIz.
Ask a MOD to remove your post and apologize to the newbie.
So did we. LOL...I forgot about that one. :-)
I hereby extend my lightning rod and recall/cancel my premature but well intentioned ZOT (can't be to careful, what, with all the TROLLS out there on election eve).
Please accept my most humble and sincere apology.
Welcome to FR!
Well, Hey, welcome to Free Republic. Glad to have you here with us all. This is the BEST place to be, but ya gotta be quick on your feet with this bunch, ;>).

Nah --- it's fine! We all make typos and if you stick around here for a while, you'll come to know I am the typo queen.
Welcome to FR!!!!
Make that three. :-)
It's on my voice mail - but I don't even know what an MP3 is - sorry, I'm technologically illiterate.
Are there any kids in your vicinity....anybody under the age of 19 would surely know how to do it :-) If not, I'm sure that someone else will be able to help. Rushbo wouldn't do something like this for a small market, and with the hundreds of thousands of FReepers, somebody is very likely going to be able to do this. Thank you very much for your reply and kind sentiments, however.
I don't know if this is a troll or not - but yes, I can confirm that I got a recording yesterday from Rush Limbaugh.
At this point the consensus appears to be that the information is legitimate, as verified by several other FReepers as well as yourself.
Please don't worry about being a non-techie....the mere fact that you are here at FR illustrates that you have many other excellent qualities.
Here are some nice cannolis for you, and best wishes to you and yours :-)
No problem, I understand.
And thanks. :)
I am so sorry, SnakeIz. Shame on me for zottin' from the hip. I got your FReep-mail and responded to you. Glad to see you were finally able to get your comments to show up.
No, you shouldn't have waited for another day to post. Since you've been lurking for awhile....well, you know how it goes when a new poster signs up. Especially on the eve of elections. Welcome to FR!
