RUSH LIMBAUGH: 80% CHANCE HILLARY IS GOING TO BE NEXT PRESIDENT
I will be in the 20% that will NOT vote for her.
I was flipping through, but it seemed he said something to the effect if things keep going the way they are and something else about the media. Did not catch the whole context as I was on a very short trip.
He is probably weighing the current Republican candidates’ prospects.
But Rush is documented to be right only 98.6% of the time.
Same here!
I hope this is one of the few times Rush is wrong!
Assuming (always a dangerous thing to do, but still...) that things stay politically about where they are right now, if Hillary wins the nomination it’ll be her race to lose.
I suppose that makes sense. 20% chance due to legal citizens voting for her. 30% chance due to non-legal immigrants voting for her. 30% chance due to cheating.
I agree.
Rush is just trying to stir things up.
Nothing like a Hitlery threat to get Pubs out and voting.
I think that the Democrat will win, but I think that Sen. Obama will win the nomination because he’s the most liberal candidate.
I think a Democrat will win too. So far the polls show it.
I think Rush sees the money she raises, the lack of a good Republican candidate that people would want to vote for and the “First Woman” BS and comes to that conclusion.
This prospect is simply too gruesome to contemplate. If this happens, I will be forced to admit that crime pays, America is broken, evil wins, good loses, nerve and gall win over courage and honor, and all kinds of other things that I do not want to admit. Please say it isn’t so.
Methinks the Red Bull petered out during the third hour.
Hope it serves as a slap upside the collective Republican head(s) out there.
Gotta get our act together!
16 years of that witch and Obama.
He then made some idiotic reference to your neighbors in the fifties being swingers with other people just like people are today or some such nonsense.
I almost called him to ask him what states were legalizing gay marriage back then but I was in my car and didn't want to waste a cell call.
some on this forum that don’t know that the democraps won
the 2006 u.s. congressional elections.

RUSH: See, here's the thing. This is the way this is all shaping up out there. You can't criticize people on the radio. You can't do it. You can't attack them. You can't defend yourself. You can't defend others who are attacked by the Democrats. You can't do this on radio, but you can do it on the floor of Congress. You can go to the floor of Congress, the floor the House, floor of the Senate, and you can say some of the most despicable things about people -- as Tom Harkin has about me or his fellow senators. You can do that all day long and nobody will care. We're not going to stop that. Congressional hearings? How about how they try to destroy the character and the careers of judicial nominees at the Senate judiciary committee? You can do that all day long and Media Matters won't care and the Drive-By Media won't care. In fact, they'll love it. They love it. This is cool, and these senators are written up as great heroes for daring to tell the truth about these despicable conservatives who want to take over the court and deny you women the right to choose, or whatever other fear tactic they lie about. TV news hit jobs? Television news can do a hit job and destroy anybody they want. The New York Times can do a hit job and destroy anybody they want.
But you can't do this on radio, because they're going to come after you! If you do this on radio, if conservatives do this in the alternative media? I'm going to tell you what the objective is out there, folks, in case some of you are all entertained by this. Understand that this is a Democrat Party, Drive-By Media, Clinton image machine -- or Clinton machine agenda -- and it is to suppress and kill conservative information, which it labels "misinformation." The conservative information by definition, according to the template of the Drive-By Media and the Media Matters of the world, is "misinformation," but they will say that their purpose is to eliminate conservative information because it's misinformation, because there's a template, and the template is conservatives are racist, and as such they have to be banned. Of course! In the culture, we can't put up with this. They've gotta be banned from cable. They've gotta be banned from Fox News. They've gotta be banned from radio. Conservatives are also liars. That's another template: conservatives are liars. They gotta be snuffed out -- and this is the purpose of the Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party and the Clintons, who are funding with their supporters all these "watchdog" efforts.
This is Stalinist, folks. This is an attack on certain kinds of information that is protected by a template which says, "All conservative information is misinformation. It is reported by liars and racists," and that's the foundation under which they all proceed, and they're all in on it. That is what is happening. It's a general rule, they would love to do this. But we're gearing up for this election, and if you don't think that in the Drive-By Media and the Democrat Party, if you don't think 2008 is all about the Clintons getting back in the White House, you've got another thing coming. I'm going to tell you as we sit here today, there is an 80% chance that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States, if you look at the way things are falling out right now. They're trying to take out Rudy Giuliani. Guess what? Rudy's a "draft dodger" now. Did you see the story over the weekend? Well, Clinton was a draft dodger so they got Rudy. Rudy's a draft dodger. Whatever was said about Clinton, they're going after it. Rudy is a draft dodger. Rudy is a philanderer.
Whatever it is, they're doing everything they can to take Rudy out. Everybody says, "Well, what about Obama? What about Obama?" Folks. I know there are stories out there how the Clintons are worried about Obama and not just on this fundraising stuff, but his "godlike status to the godless" and so forth. If you're the Clinton machine, and your single competitor is somebody with less than two years experience in these foxholes, do you really think they are worried about Barack Obama? If you have fallen for the notion that the Clinton machine is sort of upside down and discombobulated and doesn't quite know what's going on here, you are falling for more myths from the media, which is designed to make it look like she has real competition so that she can overcome obstacles rather than be this candidate of inevitability -- which she is. So she's trying to make it look like she's got a serious challenge and she's up to it, and she can handle it. But I'm telling you, I know the Clinton machine. If you think they are seriously worried about somebody with as little experience as Obama has in these kinds of things, then you're falling for it.
You're being sucked in for all this. There is an 80% chance this woman is going to be next president, as things sit here today. In politics, everything can change, and it can change on a moment's notice. But all of these attacks and all of this budding attempt -- and it's not new; it's just intensifying now -- to discredit conservative information as misinformation reported by liars and racists, is about destroying the credibility of anybody who has anything in opposition, to save the Clintons and their quest to be re-ensconced in the White House. It's what all this is about. It's also about making sure that if Mrs. Clinton wins and so forth, that there won't be an alternative media. Hello, Fairness Doctrine. Hello, all of these things to just squelch it. They don't want to hear it. They want to go back to their monopoly days. That's what this is all about. So when you keep talking about this in the context of Imus, it's so much more about things having nothing to do with Imus than you would possibly believe. In fact, don't get distracted when you think about this by putting it in the context of Imus. If it was about Imus, it would be over, wouldn't it? And it's not, is it?
I agree.
The GOP is screwing up.
The Dems will present us with a Clinton, and the sheeple will accept the turd as a gift.
Every poll I've seen shows a Republican candidate leading all Dems.
Hi Always:
I heard the remark and found myself agreeing.
The context was Imus’s problems. He pointed out that Imus was bonified Drive By Media, except on one count: he hates Mrs. Bill .
Rush figures Mrs. Clinton unleashed her minions, I gather.
Makes sense, considering Mrs. Clinton’s plans to meet with the R-gers team.
If a Dem wins, it’s only 4 years and they will lose everything after that again.
Thanks for posting. That is numbing.
Anyone know the context of this statement? The headline, with no text, is on Drudge.
Throw all of that in a blender and that was my take on Rush’s comment. He is as fed up with the spineless weak GOP as many of us are. Hitlery won’t win anything — it will be handed to her on a platter by a dysfunctional GOP.
If a Dem wins, it’s only 4 years and they will lose everything after that again.
Liberals currently lead the polls in both parties. It’s deeply disgusting.
((((RUDY PING)))
The Virginia Tech shooting has disrupted Rush Limbaugh program for today, he is upset about this disruption and that is why he saying some very silly stuff today and uttering totally stupid statement like Hillary Clinton has 80% chance of being President when he was saying all along that her chances of being President are small. Do get me wrong, Rush Limbaugh is the best there is in talk radio and by far, he is right in the vast majority of what he said, but some days, specially when something interrupt his prepared program, he just utters very silly and wrong stuff. Today is one of these days.
Don't be so quick. The 2008 elections have a critical point in their term- 2010. In 2010 we go through the standard census redistricting process. If the Dems hold the WH & Congress, you can bet that you will have enough new lines drawn to keep them in power for another decade.
You may also have to kiss the electoral system good bye as well....
I think that his self proclaimed record of being correct 96% of the time, or what ever it is, is going to take a hit.
Are You kidding??? We thought Clinton would get 4 years after Jennifer Flowers! They voted for him for 4 more!
I agree with Rush. The Hillary and Obama race is being staged. If Obama was not in the race, would that mean all the Obama money would go to Hillary? So istead of 44 million, she would have 69 million in one quarter? Not likely, but rather the George Soros types are splitting their support between the two candidates to create the illusion of a horse race.
Look for a Hillary/Obama ticket for 08..
Figure that they will get over that if Democrats get the WH.
They are already getting a good look at their leadership, which has been to do nothing but block the soldier’s pay and looking to have investigations to begin a scandal.
Democrats are not ready for prime time.
Their only assets are they are loud and play dirty.
They are so bad at leading though that despite what lines are drawn, they are going to lose.
They are so bad that they can’t overcome their own negative with voters long term.
People are NOT in love with socialists/communists, so Dems have a short political life IMO.
Where is that factor in Hillary (Janet Reno aside)?
You are absolutely correct and if the Clinton machine has been reading FR they are salivating with glee.
If Hillary wins this will be the US version of Vladmir Putin....
They are doomed if she is elected IMO.
like I said, if she wins the next Putin... read you descsriptions and apply them to him as well as Hillary.... little difference; both are ruthless and will do anything for power.
The way the country is going. I would not be surprised. I would be sick to my stomach, but not surprised.
This woman thinks Clinton looks and acts like J.R. Ewing
from “Dallas”. Blech! Clinton is an avaricious, philandering thug.
When he’s around watch your daughters and your wallet.
The Virginia Tech shooting has disrupted Rush Limbaugh program for today, he is upset about this disruption
That does not sound like Rush either. I do not get the idea that he is that selfish to consider himself over a national tragedy. But like others have said, he has had lack of sleep and could be grouchy. I have been there...
I agree, America does not want some shrill shrieking lying witch in the Oval office.
However, in the meantime, we must do EVERYTHING WE CAN to make sure this doesn’t happen!! I think we should get behind one candidate (Fred Thompson) and make sure he’s a REAL conservative (Fred Thompson) in the mold of Ronald Reagan. Our candidate (Fred Thompson) must be for securing the borders, rounding up illegals, RTKABA, lowering taxes, less bureaucracy, etc...
