Around 1:20 PM, judt before he play the latest Paul Shanklin parody entitled, "BAD MOOD ON THE RIGHT", he said, now this is just in fun, and "I don't want anybody "GOING FREEPER" on me".
What u-turn? Oh the u-turn "quoted' by the New York Times. You just like rush should find better sources.
The 20 million people who listen to Rush regularly don't qualify as public attention?
Between Bush's concessions and Rush's non-stop hammering, the liberals are left tied in knots. They don't have the faintest idea how to attack this administration (if criticize the right, they side with Bush; if they criticize Bush, they siding with Rush; if they pander to the extreme left and criticize both positions, they secure about 15% of the vote).
It's nice to see Republicans finally playing the game. We need the Senate back, that's the bottom line.
I for one, didn't think Rush's remark was funny, not at all. I thought it was demeaning and uncalled for. But it has acheived the intentions that Limbaugh wanted it to. It's made a minority portion of the rightwing electorate, very very pleased. I know you're happy.
All in all, I think Rush has significantly hurt his standing and position with conservative Republicans. President Bush is more popular, more influencial and more powerful, then Rush Limbaugh will ever be with conservative Republicans and I think that upsets El Rushbo considerably.
It's just more Buchanan crackpot. Don't listen to Buchanan, listen to the Republican party. Yesss sirrr.
He not only compromises, but he also can't accomplish jacksquat.
Well he accomplished a $600 tax rebate for me and my wife and that's more than your guy (whoever that may be) would have delivered.
By the way Jethro, been in any phone booths lately?
Any idea when that is? I just checked and didn't see it.
LOL and FReegards...MUD
LOL!!
Sorry Rush, but I just can't seem to get offended here..
That a girl! Hold his feet to the fire, question his decisions and statements, and expect him to toe the conservative line. Without us conservatives, he wouldn't be in the position he's in. He says he's a conservative, by golly he should act like one!
Of course, this only applies to Rush, not Bush.
All I get out of the remark is that he's saying "don't FReep me for this." I don't see it as emotionally charged one way or the other. He knows that when we get riled about something that we can be brutal, or at least overwhelming in the sheer volume of crroespondence. That isn't good or bad. It's just a fact and he knows it and mentiioned it because he knows that a lot of us do listen to him..
Between 9 and Noon tomorrow I'll do a head count.
I don't know what the source is, I imagine it's arbitron. He's the most listened to talk-radio personality in America, as well as the highest paid. I'm guessing the folks who cut his paychecks have some satisfactory evidence that he has a whole bunch of listeners.
Well unexpected alliances are being formed over this issue. We actually have some common ground. I don't want to get too exuberant, here, but at least we agree on this one. Some past friends and acquaintances have written me off as having gone over the edge, wacko, for calling Bush a liar and a socialist, and agreeing with Rush on this one.
When I criticized Clinton for advancing a socialist agenda, I was an okay guy. When I criticize Bush for advancing a socialist agenda, I am an over-the-edge nutcase.
Now, don't go refering to me as a fellow Rush-bot. I have long tended to find fault with Rush for being too easy on the Republicans.
