Rush has said this numerous times: he's an entertainer.

Bingo! He's an entertainer.....not a political guru.

One of Rush's favorite tactics is to get people riled up, and then to laugh at them when they do. It makes great radio.

Ranting is very entertaining, and Rush does it better than anyone else.

The President has to pick the ones he feels he can win, which are mainly terrorism and taxes. He has stolen the dems favorites right out from under them. Unfortunately, the welfare state has been around so many decades, it will take time to convince the electorate they can stand on their own two feet. We can not expect changes overnight, which Americans seem to expect. Solutions may take years. The dems favorite president outside Clinton, Kennedy, said the people get the government they deserve.

One act??? Throwing his military medals away is ONE ACT to you?? You've got to be kidding!

You are seriously touting John F Kerry on a Conservative forum as a positive contrast to George W. Bush??

Now I've seen everything! LOL!!

[Poohbah]

"It makes for better radio (and, hence, better ratings)."

What? You can't be serious.

I am very serious.

He is an entertainer. Appearing to be more conservative than Bush is very entertaining for most people, and generates ratings, which in turn allows EIB and the local stations to charge "confiscatory rates for advertising." (BTW, that is a direct quote from Rush as to what his primary goal is.)

That's right. Slander me. I'm a robot who can't think for myself

You practically admitted it. Deal with it.

Since 1891, anyone retiring after a full military career has had their retirement pay reduced dollar for dollar for any Veterans Administration checks they get for a permanent service-related disability.

Should this date be 1981 or 1991, because if it's correct at 1891 I really can't get too worked up.

You practically admitted it. Deal with it.

He didn't 'practically' admit it, Poohbah.......he DID admit it. He hasn't done anything in his past 10 posts except quote Rush, and say he says "what we all think."

If Rush says it, it must be so.....

[AAABEST]

The PC cosmetic like revenue based unconstitutional laws being piled upon the sholders of the men and women that get up every day, go to work, earn a wage, pay their taxes, teach their children responsibility and respect for Mom , Apple Pie and the American Way . They are kicked in the teeth by those they vote for.

Very well put sir. As I've told you many times I very much enjoy your posts when you go political.

[ohioWfan]

Does Rush have you on his payroll?

[carenot]

I haven't paid a dime to Tricare and don't plan to either. I'll just die young.

Ha, Fred.
We are too old to die young. :)

1891 is the correct date. My father was prohibited from concurrent receipt as a retiree from 1969 to 1999.

Perhaps...............

Changes overnight? I agree, hard to do, but it appears that the majority party in our nation lacks the will and the leadership to even address fixing the domestic problems.

That, I suspect, is the "big rub" with most who are less than satisfyed.

[ohioWfan]

And you're not going to vote for Kerry because he likes vets so much better?

Linking that pro-Kerry website kind of destroys your credibility....

[WhiteGuy]

And of course the best way to do that is to increase the size of the welfare state and addict even more people to it.

Maybe..............

That explains all the increased "foreign welfare" ?

[Poohbah]

BTW...you never answered my initial question:

Interesting use of "Bushbot" from someone who joined 17 days ago--because that insult is SO 2002. One might be forgiven for wondering if you're an example of reincarnation.

Would you care to comment on this?
