If push comes to shove, will Rush, other wealthy conservative, buy Obama approved health insurance?

Posted on 11/11/2012 7:41:36 PM PST by grumpygresh

Almost four years ago Rush had chest pains during a vacation in Hawaii. He received the best possible care, and all turned out well. He revealed that he does not have health insurance and pays out of pocket, negotiating the best rate. Will Rush take this opportunity to be the civil rights leader of the 21st century and engage in civil disobedience? Will he tell Pharaoh Obama to let his people go!

This is not about Rush. This is about your obtuse ignorance.

And wow, you are ignorant. I could go back and pull out a thousand quotes from Rush’ archives disputing the ONE that you keep going back to. As for the London interview, WTF are you thinking?

But unlike you, I have a life, so I don’t have time to go back to the archives. You are pathetically stupid, thinking a London Telegraph interview defines the opinon of a man who is on the radio 15 hours a week every week.

Just for the hell of it, here’s a few about how disgusted Rush was with McCain and his pathetic changes of beating Obama: in fact, hidden in this list, is an entire show segment where Rush quoted my work - see if you can find it???
DONT DOUBT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLx1000

I am well aware of how down on MCcain that Rush was leading up to 2008 election. So his claiming Mccain would win big against O, as with Romney, just make him look even more silly afterward. in 2006 he made similar predictions.

Your worship of a flawed human being as an infallible god-like figures is what is causing your cult like behavior on this thread.

Only a programmed robot would make up the illogical defenses that you are and recede to have nothing but a bunch of completely meaningless personal insults.

I highlight them because it makes my case.

Apparently there is much you are not aware of, including what this argument is about. It’s not about Rush, repeat not about Rush, repeat not about Rush, repeat not about Rush, and in case you’re still confused, it IS NOT ABOUT RUSH.

It’s about you and your silly notion that a couple of links defines a show that probably had 300 hours of campaign commentary. It’s about you and how you try and prop yourself up on the basis of that silly silly little notion. It’s also about the inside info I have and cannot divulge, but makes be totally aware of the show content.

It’s also about your absurd comparison about Rush’s attitude about McCain and Romney. They were totally different. Rush was far more pessimistic about McCain as a candidate and as a potential President. To compare the two is to demonstrate your reliance on a couple of links to feed your ignorance.

I’m in the same position. I was hoping to be able to get a high deductable policy and just pay out of pocket for routine stuff but I guess that won’t be possible under Obamacare. I won’t be allowed to get a policy that works for ME.

of course not. You have made it about you and your cultist like behavior, one of those ‘brain dead robots’ that Rush used as a parody of the MSM in the distant past.

Your arguments are circular and irrational leaving you left with only meaningless personal insults that no one cares about, except apparently YOU!

Mr. Limbaugh makes North of $300 million dollars a year. Why in the wide, wide world of sports would he buy medical insurance? He could start a small hospital with the change on his bedroom dresser...

I'd love for Rush and like minded deep pocket conservatives to start a Hospital,

* A Floating One.
* With the Czech Republic (or ?) other free market registration.
* Obamacare Sucks? No Problem, take a high-speed Hydrofoil to the mother ship to get your ills fixed.
* From the Bahama's or something to get to the Med-Ship, you know darn well Fedzilla would bust their balls leaving from FLA....

With all the Conservative Doctors retiring on 12/31/12, Rush and company would have their pick of the litter....

...and yet, you keep responding, and projecting..and yet, you are also the only one obsessed with Rush. Like I said, your irrational argument was that a link to London and one show segment was a rational argument for a three hour talk show’s over all take - which it is - and would be about any three hour talk show. That was my point, you were so obsessed with trashing Rush that you could not take the plank of obsession out of your own eye to see that I was merely talking in the general. My logic would hold for any daily occurrence that any numbskull was trying to generalize with two pathetic links.

You seem to think that you showing that Rush regularly contradicts himself is a defense of him, or that calling me names here is the same as you having an argument, good luck with those.

Of course you're right— you rest well with that construct. Imagine what kind of defeat Ron Paul would have had. Don't worry- the Germans can't get to their Federal Reserve gold anyway.

In a rational person (which Rush is) all the facts, one’s beliefs and dreams merge with party team playing at some point, such that instead of a circular firing squad (which tends to be the majority of threads among the many “experts” at FR)you encourage a unified positive action in your listeners.

Rush always knew this was about turnout of people motivated to stop what they do NOT believe in continuing, using the practical fact that first we must remove the maoist. Thus the statement about polls designed to deny turnout. He knew that frankly, a nation that has 99 weeks times 2 of unemployment benefits, 23% real unemployment, 75% increase in food stamps/tradeable EBT cards, whiny student loan “occupiers” with trust fund marxists amongst them, and massive illegal alien “voters” all supportive of the buffet of govt. largesse that is distributed to them from the democrat party machine could not be overcome by a “bridge building” nice guy RINO governor from Taxachussetts vs. the nation's first white guilt socialist sepia toned sort-of “black” islamic choom gang president friend of Farrakhan & Wright, Cloward-Piven Alinksyite whose goal is the total destruction of our Constitutional Republic. It wasn't enough to overcome the fraud and the moron numbers.

We could not defeat a digitally sophisticated fraudulent Santa Claus— and Rush was right. You have only to look at Allen West's situation with NO support from the RNC against provable criminal fraud. Because RINO ROVIAN Bushies cannot countenance true conservatives in their organization and they would “rather lose with Mitt” than lose their meal ticket. Reagan had to fight these same people. We got to where we are by these elitists: GHW Bush who gave us Clinton,Bush 2 and now this obamination. And through it all the march of islamofascist fellow travelers to the world marxists.

It will take much stronger, more clever people than just sitting spewing “sickof” smugness for one’s own entertainment to get our Republic back. When the very FIRST thing said after this fraudulent election is to remove the 2nd Amendment- specifically private ownership of firearms, our last line against tyranny, we have a clue. Because it indeed doesn't matter how many votes are truly gotten— it matters who counts them. Cold comfort now is in the ten range. Deo Vindice.

re: “Could you imagine if Rush(or some other prominent conservative) was actually thrown in jail for not paying the fine or buying insurance? This could be a cause célèbre that could ignite a firestorm.”

I would hope that you would be correct, but after this past week’s election I really don’t think anything would happen beyond people just verbally objecting to it.

The leftist media, the Democrats, and the 47% would rejoice and Rush would probably meet with some type of “accident” or “commit suicide” in prison.

They won’t have to arrest you for refusal to pay the fine.

They will simply confiscate what you have.

UNDERSTAND the animal we are now cornered by.

The IRS was chosen to be the enforcement mechanism for a REASON.

CONFISCATION.

You WILL pay the fine because they will simply liquidate and seize what you have.

First it will take a reality check and understanding the real situation rather than wishful fantasy. Making believe your ‘party’ is winning when they are losing, worse yet convincing lots of others of a fantasy, is like putting blindfolds on so your army marches in the wrong direction.

How can Rush think Republicans are so far ahead of dems leading up to (each) election day, then the day after preach that our country is screwed because he was so wrong, yet again?

My point here is leading Republicans off a cliff is not doing anything positive.

Rush was not always like this.

Even this silly vanity, the author thinks that what Rush does with his personal health insurance means something to the rest of the country. He is just a another flawed human being, one with a large audience.

The country is not like it was either, regardless of the core values which must not be abandoned. Like saying “amnesty” and the plain foolishness of the RINO leadership in supplying the answers from the democrat apparatchiks.

Current leadership is doomed to remain minority— like Bob Michel the textbook case of a “useful idiot”. Rush saw this coming each time, and each time (when you look at the total delivered message over time)and at a cut point each time, had to modulate with RINOs he cannot stand. Look what the dems are saying to our stupid leadership— and they are stupid enough to repeat it and take on the meme. They are IDIOTS, and high priced at that. And in the case of the “numbers”— are they real numbers or fabricated. If 11 million people didn’t vote that did last time- no model could have predicted that...and NO poll if they were fraudulent to begin with or real and un-reachable. None of this would matter if we had an informed electorate— not one informed by govt. schools and teacher’s union falsehoods in curriculum of our history and govt, and the acceptance of a Statist system.

There is a lot to be done to keep from being an irrelevant party. The candidate was wrong again despite many great qualities , but the opponent is even more anti-country/Constitution than we have ever known, with the goal of power at any cost and the complete ignorance of our Constitution—a dictator. It has to be continual consistent direct opposition, with positive productive alternatives that speak to true human nature— not wanting to be slaves to the all caring government. States Rights, defeat obamacare (and stop calling it that, by the way). Take back the Senate, repealing 17th Amendment-bring the control of 1/2 of one branch of our govt. back down to local control. And by this, more direct input into approval of foreign policy, treaties, and Supreme Court. Otherwise we are headed to irrelevance and totalitarian new world order (Bush I).

I agree and disagree with you. the current R congressional leadership has no idea how to lead and failed. They should have been replaced after 2008.

But Rush is a different problem. I don't know what his motives really are but he gives the worst advice.

Take the debt limit fight last year. Rush was saying that voters want the government shut down, in spite of what happened in 1995. So some Republican fools in congress started saying in public “Yes, shut it down” making sure their side would lose a standoff.

By the time they realized as in 1995 that most voters dont want a shutdown, and instead that the way to win was to paint Obama as shutting it down, it was too late.

Once again after making those wrong moves and playing into Dems hands again, little was left but to surrender again.

Nope, Rush is a compass who always points in the wrong direction.

Lastly, Republican power losses help his $$$$ business. The hopeless seek those who say what they want to hear.

You win the Lottery,the Government is going to Pay for Yours,Dont worry,its only the working People collecting any salary who cant afford to pay for health Care who will be fined to Pay for theirs and yours.

Wrong. Neither my state's high-risk pool insurance program nor Medicaid will cover me. I simply have to do without medical care. Don't you worry, I won't be taking a dime from your earnings. I've always been one of the contributors, not a taker, so your resentments are unfounded.
