You’re right, Rush.

You’re not really all that bright.

Rush Limabaugh's Used McCar Lot

I think you guys are missing Rush's point by such a wide margin I don't even know where to begin.

If you heard Rush's rare interview with a liberal newsrag like TIME yesterday you know that he said that the best thing that McCain can do is not suck up to him, me, you, FR, Hannity, Levin. He has to dance with who brung him...liberals and moderates.

To quote Brian McNamee "it is what it is". McCain made his bed. He doesn't need conservatives. Let it play out and see if his strategy works.

We've never had a McCain administration.

And the good Lord willing, we never will.

So, when President Hillary Rodham's appointees come after your property, your firearms, your vehicles, your small businesses, your food choices, your choice of words, your earnings, your children's values and political orientation, your children's sexual orientation, our Military's command structure, our choice of family physicians, and political forums like Free Republic, and your votes don't seem to be counted by people that you trust, then think of how principled are those who withheld votes for a somewhat-less-than-completely-conservative McCain.

Extremely well put. Conservatives in Congress and elsewhere can exert a significant amount of restraint on a President McCain's liberal tendencies, but none on a President Rodham's (shudder) or Obama's (triple shudder). Having a conservative backlash after 4 years is worth very little when you have 30 years worth of super-liberal majority sitting on SCOTUS. So your problems will not be solved for another two decades or so.

Not going out and voting early and often for the most conservative candidate in any race for any office in any year is just, dare I say it, McInsane!

Yep I see. Wouldnt it be a nice fantasy if Mccain has only just been playing a diabolical scheme of liberality just to get elected president.(since it would be impossible for a conservative to get elected)

Then magically after election, the mild mannered McCain will enter a phone booth and emerge as Superconservative Man standing for truth justice and the American way

Rush is an entertainer, and he thrives on controversy. If there is none, he will create some. He was never happier than during the Clinton years. He can make hay with any of the three current front-runners. As far as his show goes, I don’t think he really cares which one gets elected.

On a personal level, we don’t know what he really thinks.

Yeah, it would be wonderful. Maybe McCain is an evil genius.

His only hope is that his experience and grey hair will convince the clueless voters that he is better than Obama. After all, Obama offers "change" and "hope" and he is a great speaker. In a perfect world, the sheeple realize that Obama has accomplished nothing and has no specific proposals. Then they vote for McCain and he turns out to be smarter than everyone by morphing into a conservative who was only acting like a liberal to get elected. It's brilliant. I like it.

Right on. Limbaugh is going to help get Obama elected and damage our country. That is not my type of conservatism. Limbaugh’s ego is so inflated that he does not realize that many conservatives will not go along with his agenda. I am sure the terrorists agree with Limbaugh that there is no difference between McCain and the democrats. Self-righteous zealots of all types believe there are two types of people. Those who agree with every single thing they say, and those who do not.

I do not know, but he has already damged McCain’s campaign by demoralizing conservatives and distorting McCain’s record, which is at least as conservative as that of Bush. But Limbaugh never criticized Bush until very recently.

Right Rush!

People forget that 4 years of Hillary or Obama means at least 1 or 2 SCOTUS appointments. and many Fed judges including a refill fo the 9th circus.

If Rush would have come out early and backed the only true conservative in the race, Duncan Hunter, instead of the Bush/Rove machine anointed candidate Willard Myth Romney we wouldn’t be in this predicament.

if he drives the conservatives to let a psychopathic Marxist rule you

What's with this blame mentality? If something isn't Bush's fault, it's Rush's fault. What about the person, himself. McCain saying he's a conservative, when he is clearly NOT! Conservatives don't need to hear it from Rush to know it's true.

These talking liberal heads hang on and dissect everything Rush says and try to interpret what he means or his intentions behind it! You would think he was running for president. They should do this dissecting to all the running candidates but there is no brilliance there - stupitity is always attracted to brilliance and their hatred for him shows.

Like there will never be another Reagan, there will never be another Rush! Let's enjoy him while we have him; hopefully, for, at least, another 30 years.

McCain sucks

but the difference tween him and crusty is big

tween him and Malcolm O, it’s a canyon

Obama scares the crap outta me

someone as radical as he has never run for national office....well, not since the 30s....what was his name ..Debs?

and even those old Reds weren’t gun confiscators and abortion lovers
