So Obama thinks Rush is the real opposition. Gee, and here I thought McConnell and Boehner were? Not really, but I hope those losers read that quote of Obama’s and realize just how damn insignificant they are. No one respects them for kissing up to Obama, not even the “Messiah” himself. The base sure as hell doesn’t respect them, they consider Rush their true voice. The only elected Republican with any sway over the base right now is the one they are trying to destroy. Sarah Palin.

It is going to be odd going to battle with Obama though. Usually you go to battle to advance a principle or action through an elected vessel. But we have few if any in D.C. We’re not going to shut up and are going to target Obama and his ideas, but my goal isn’t to get Republicans in office by doing so because most of them are worthless. On my side this becomes almost solely an idelogical battle stripped of the political undercurrent in past.

No, I don’t remember that. Because it never happened. Let those of us that DO remember refresh your memory. Limbaugh’s program barely lost any listenership at all while guest hosts filled in for Rush at his rehab. Why? because the audience didn’t want to give the media any means to atack him. Usually people tune out when Rush is gone. High profile people took turns hosting his radio show just to ensure that didn’t happen. When he returned his show’s ratings went through the roof. During his absence he got well wishes from anyone of consequence. His subscriptions rose considerably. Even in the Liberal press when they ran magazine covers attacking him the support for Rush was HUGE and equaled the response of the full liberal court.

Do not try to re-write the history of that period.

Another interesting point is that he singled Rush Limbaugh out as if to try and group all Conservative Republicans that disagree with the way he wants to proceed as a fringe group that follows Rush Limbaugh.

The Centrists in America do not listen to nor do they respect Rush so this is an important point. Rush is like a lobbyist who represents millions of like minded Conservatives and gives them a voice and a chance to be heard. So basically by Obama saying that the Republicans should not listen to Rush Limbaugh he is saying that Republicans should not listen to their core Conservative constituencies.

Obama is trying to bring the Democrats just right enough to get the 60 percent of the country firmly in his corner, he will keep the fringe lunatic liberals happy by throwing them bones like Closing Gitmo, with no real time table or dangling prosecution of Bush admin around and other such wacky things that will never really happen.

The scariest part of this whole plan is that the entire country is going to go so far over left of center that when the serious Socialist plays start they may be too far gone.

Conservatives really need a HERO ...

Rush is very vulnerable. Remember how quickly people abandoned him when his medical problem was exposed and his subsequent prescription drug abuse?

Obviously you've just ported over here from an alternate universe, because what you said above didn't happen in this one.

Maureen was nauseating. But I think there was a TV bimbo who had the same experience...I guess this is one of Bambi’s many obsessions.

You are right on target! My 11 and 17 year old boys are both conservative and understand what that actually means.

Look how Rush is already pissing off Barry Obama. We may never know what makes up the color of his skin, but we can see already see how thin it is. It is more than offensive to manipulate the economy for political gain. Barry’s actions are immoral and that’s why he’s so pissed off at Rush. Mr. Limbaugh has exposed this RAT’s motives. Remember, someone who doesn’t want to tell the truth becomes angry when their lie is exposed.

“Obamawama is an empty suit with no power except that given to him by those he sold his soul to for the office of POTUS.”

Just like Jimmah “Peanut Brain” Carter...and a one-term kinda guy too.
