Saw McCain on FNS this am - it was pitiful. He couldn’t find words he stumbled around looked every bit the nut. It was so bad Cindy had to take up slack. I think it is the first time I have heard her speak.
No kidding. In their heart of hearts, he is the “perfect” Democrat, because he’ll do pretty much what they want, he won’t pull out of Iraq (which most of them secretly realize can’t happen), and if the economy tanks, they can blame him!
Why does Rush bunch your panties ? Rush does not have Rushbots - he has thinking listeners who agree with him. Hell, Rush is one of the few in media who doesn’t give a rat’s patootie what anybody thinks. If you agree with him great, if you don’t he doesn’t care.
If we can’t prevent Republicans from voting Democrat in a primary, what makes us think we can prevent the dead, the illegal, and the phony from voting in the general election?
NO!! We’re just doing WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS .. EXCEPT THEY KEPT IT SECRET .. like most of the things they do .. so much for transparancy.
The dems are just mad because we have stolen their thunder and exposed their little secret to fixing elections - by distorting the primaries.
Now that would be awesome. Dems crossover and vote for McCain and his running mate is an ultra conservative.
LOL. He doesn't get my knickers in a knot, I just made an observation about the content of his show and said what he has said many times, that his bottom line is to make money.
Can't fault him for that, he wouldn't be on the air if he didn't.
No Rushbots? Anyone that buys his EIB stuff is a Rushbot. Have you ordered your OC t-shirt?
Yesterday, I went to the elections board and VOTED for osamaobama, contrary to the "Orders from Headquarters".
I love Rush, but because we are not "mind numbed robots" I think we need to keep flop ears close in PA.
Never having voted for a demonRAT for President nominee, I had to drink about half a fifth of Johnnie Walker Black {in honor of halfrican hussein} and take three showers, and I still feel a little scummy today.
I don't know how this election will turn out, but the primaries are too much fun.
Death {political} to the bitch {it's against the law to root for actual death of a Presidential candidate, and I'd never want to break the law}.
My take on “Operation Chaos” is that Rush is doing several things, here - he’s demonstrating his sway, he’s enjoying making mischief (and hoping that when the press talks about “Hillary winning and demonstrating momentum” they’ll mention his “Operation,”) and he’s getting a feel for just how strong may be the desire of conservatives to — not now, but in coming years — jump the GOP ship and form a more demonstrably “conservative” party.
Thats pretty much what it will do...
The results of which will be another GOP loss (losing ground) in 2010, but hopefully a re-invigorated conservative movement in the GOP by 2012...
I hope we will have tossed more than a few moderates and country clubber types in the Republican party by then...
I agree. This is just another case of the lefties whining when their own tactics are used back at them. They can’t win without cheating or subverting the process, and they can’t stand it when we play their own game better than they did.
Rush’s Operation Chaos is great! In fact, “anything” that makes the Dems/lefties squirm and whine is A-OK with me. And once again, their antics and stunts just may backfire on them to the benefit of conservatives. (let’s hope)
Correct. Open primaries encourage popularity contests and undermine party principles. I hope Operation Chaos returns us to closed party primaries. Let wishy washy independents form their own party.
For those who are agonizing over the effectiveness of Operation Chaos, tough. This is just a slow motion replay of Dem strategy in Florida, 2000. Count every vote. Keep counting until the desired result is achieved.
Karma.
The very fact that they can't get away from OC says it is working beyond Rush's wildest imagination.
When we first voted in the US people were given rum and barbecue and then loaded up they would go to the polling place and vote. Look at all the corruption and incompetent systems continuing since then.
Here's what's sacred. It's my vote. I can not vote or I can vote for whomever I want. My motivation is none of anybody's business.
You mistake Rush’s audience. They think, unlike Obama’s audience, which just “feels”.
Rush has a higher IQ class of groupies.
I too was a ditto head. I started in the 80’s in Tampa and now live in PA. I registered as a Democrat recently just so I can vote against Hitlery. I would rather see Ted Kennedy as president than ever see another Clinton near the Whitehouse. I’m thinking of putting my vintage rush room mug up for sale on ebay.
And so may who have ________ are ________!
(Interesting conundrum, that. An ________ can have an ________.)
Oh I understand Rush's audience very well. Some years ago he was the voice that switched my lib daughter to a Conservative and I'm grateful to him for that, it was a task that I couldn't do.
The thing I don't understand is the people willing to spend 20.00 for a t-shirt.
It also throws hypocrisy in the media’s faces when they try to run articles on Obamacan Republicans who are crossing over to vote for Obama.
IF they claim to be lifelong Republicans, polling officials are now suspicious of their TRUE loyalty to the Democrat platform.
Your positing an Obama/Clinton ticket. I agree, she’ll stay in the Senate, or run for Governor of New York, then try again before she’ll accept second place.
Notice, I suggested that a Clinton/Obama ticket would be the only ‘failure mode’ for Operation Chaos, before suggesting that even with Obama in the number 2 spot a lot of his supporters would be too angry to support the ticket.
