Hagel takes aim at Limbaugh, Senate colleagues (RINO attack!)
CNN.com ^ | 11/18/08 | CNN

As his Senate career nears its end, Republican Chuck Hagel isn't holding back when it comes to criticizing members of his own party — including conservative talk radio hosts.

"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said Tuesday during a speech in Washington, according to the Huffington Post.

"You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office," a sarcastic Hagel continued. "They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."

Sen. Hagel, Rush has thought about running for public office but he couldn’t take the pay cut. Also, since it’s easy for him to showcase products he approves of, he is beholden to no one.

Rush does not have all the answers, but he can explain the surface of the actions in Washington and in the mainstream media, and then he can delve deeper and explain what is REALLY going on under the superficial veneer. Sometimes it’s just refreshing to hear the truth.

Isn't there any way the real Republicans can get rid of this guy? I'll bet he even voted for Oboma.

The answer is simple. All the Republicans in Washington have to do is come home to their conservative roots. They're just too spineless to take the democrats on.

The Dem party is so far left now that the RINO’S have nowhere to go, unless they want to join the Communists on the left. Conservatives need to re-take the Republican party, if the RINO’S want to leave, let them. We’ll pick up more stay at home conservatives and common sense voters than the RINO’S can draw.

You're making a fool of yourself, Hagel. See ya'. The only thing worse than a RINO is a whining RINO.

Hagel couldn’t hope to be 1% the man Rush would be in office.

That’s the problem with some politicians. They think we don’t get irony.

Don't look now dip-wad, but the polls show that Obama voters are the dumbest creatures on Earth. Just sayin'

Hagel, Rush Limbaugh has done more to protect America’s freedoms and her way of life than you did in your entire Washington career.

‘Course, I’ve noticed, Chuckles, that you’ve never really made the case for your RINO philosophy to a national audience. Oh, you like to talk to your inside the Beltway pals about it...an echo chamber. But you don’t really bring that defeatist message to the masses, do ya, Chuck?

What a clown.

I like that funny little high-pitched squeal they always make, when the lightning hits 'em. ;)

The idiot has it backwards. People like Rush actually have to have ideas and articulate them in the marketplace, in order to be successful and earn a living. The only thing pols are good at is sitting in committees deciding how to spend other people's money.
