LOL The guys on talk radio don’t care. They’re still on the air, and still making money.

Yeah I’ll let the Communist British “Guardian” tell me anything about Rush Limbaugh!

Exactly. It's amazing where some people will go to find affirmations of their opinions.

It further demonstrates the sheer ideological and intellectual bankruptcy of the liberal RINOs when they have to cite UK liberals in order to assuage their guilty conscience when they support a Democrat just because he has an 'R' by his name.

Limbaugh is the water carrier for RINOs.

I stopped listening to him.

I now listen to Laura.

Btw. Dane. Arn’t you the same ‘Dane’, that is the pro-illegal aliens, and defender of illegals taking jobs from U.S. citizens?

If you are,what are you still doing on FR, when you belong on Dummie Underground with your pals and McLame?

I have never been a McCain fan, but I must admit I am getting a chuckle over the apopletic response by talk radio as McCain gets closer to the nomination. JMO, the GOP voters are knocking down a peg the guilded echo chambers of conservative talk radio and it seems the kings and queens of talk radio are not amused.

You have NOT been paying attention because talk radio is NOT saying anything NEW. Conservatives have been on to your guy McCain from the 'git-mo'....

So at least she understands that the war in Iraq and judges require that we do whatever we can to make sure HRC or Obama does not win the Presidency.

Oh yes...the old Supreme Court argument. That is getting really old. We must all fall in line and vote for McNasty for the judges. You are really naive if you think that dims won't win this election either way. Too many of the base are turned off this year. The establishment wins this one.

We won't get Judges like the "too conservative" Alito and McCain will have to caucus with the Democrats on every nomination. Also, Gitmo will be closed and Constitutional rights will be conferred upon terrorists.

McCain will only do what is required to get the accolades of the NY Times.

Either McAmnesty or the HUckster:

Huckabee promotes ‘open door’ policy at LULAC convention
Thursday, Jun 30, 2005

By Wesley Brown
Arkansas News Bureau
LITTLE ROCK - In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” Huckabee said, citing the Golden Rule. “I have tried to govern that way and it stands to reason that I really do believe that what made this great country so great and so unique is that it has always been a place for people to run to - and not run from.

“I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...,” Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.

Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.

Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.

“Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state’s capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation.

“Your gathering is so very significant for our state,” Huckabee said. “We are delighted to have you.”

Despite several light moments, Huckabee did not stray away from several controversial issues that made him a target of criticism during the recently ended 85th General Assembly. He said Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity “in culture, in language and in population.”

“This is an issue that is going to require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border, particularly those coming from Mexico,” Huckabee said of verifying the status of illegal aliens. “But I am confident that our government will recognize that we should accommodate people who wish to provide the best opportunities for their families (and) employers so that we can make sure our economy has the necessary work force.”

During the legislation session, Huckabee criticized an immigration bill by Republican senators Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.

Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later to Huckabee’s comments that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.

The Republican governor, who many believe will run for president in 2008, also backed legislation that would have opened the door for illegal immigrants in Arkansas to receive college scholarships.

House Bill 1525 by Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, was approved by the House but eventually failed in the Senate. Huckabee reiterated Wednesday that he believes every child, regardless of their parent’s immigration status, should have an opportunity to receive an education in the U.S.

They’ll do ANYTHING to get in power.

As for the Huckster:

Matt.16:26

[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Mark.8:36

[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Guess the Huckster missed those verses in the Bible as well as going out of his way to twist the “Golden Rule” to his political advantage.

Oh, right, some socialist in the UK thinks he understands American conservatism.

McCain is a RINO and his popularity goes to show that Republicans are under the sway of the “We have the freedom to slit our own throats and that’s exactly what we intend to do” movement that has spread from the Dems to the GOP.

When McCain was polling about 8 % in the Fall, he fell off the radar. Even after he won NH, people here still wrote him off. By the time conservatives realized what was happening, it was too late to get the "inattentive" voter to focus on him closely....

Hes one very liucker bugger, and we all are very unlucky, to say the least.

The irony in all of this is that McCain actually is a staunch conservative on many issues

McCain? Conservative? What the hell?????

Maybe I got a chuckle in the beginning, now it is getting nauseating. I love Rush and have been a fan for years but I wish he would tone it down a notch or two on McCain. A little more impartiality in the nominating process, or a little less I’m not sure, might be helpful if Rush ( and the rest ) don’t want us to suffer through four years of Billary and a quarter century of a SCOTUS that should frighten anyone into manning phone banks for McCain!

Rush is about the only one I can listen to these days, since he voices how I feel.

Good morning GOP_Lady. Do you know if CPAC will be on the computer? CSPAN said they are going to show mcpain’s speech at 3:00 on CSPAN 3, which I didn’t know existed. I want to listen to Mitt!!!
I heard Laura for a few minutes this morning, she is still giving Mccain a hard time too. I think McCain is clueless, he thinks we will cave. Maybe some will, but i won’t.
