Nicotine stained fingers tied around Cruz.
Wut? Rip van Limbaugh has awakened?
You really don’t know what you don’t know, FRiend. This is about much more than pork and hookers. This is about the establishment of a global government. The only way a FReeper doesn’t get that is if they hitch their wagon to Rush Limbaugh and the “analysis” he sells to his low information listeners.
LOL! Any doubt but that he is dead right on this one?
“Social conservatives are the foot soldiers of the GOP. The GOP will have to start paying their campaign ‘volunteers’ just like the Democrats do if they tell their very most motivated people to leave.”
I agree. Cruz’s role was as a construct, simulated conservative to keep conservatives on the Republican plantation. Similar to the role that Republican talktalktalk radio has had during the ascendancy of neocons.
“I tuned in to see if Rush was accapting reality..... he isn’t, turned it off after 3 minutes.”
I’ve taken my radio off of 1150 WJBO in Baton Rouge at this point. All it is is Cruzlim calls to prayer and hatred of the infidels, except for a little break with Sean Hannity. I have it on some Catholic station now. I agree with them far more often, and can respect their opinions when we differ. The radio cheapjacks will pay dearly for supporting the Camouflaged Canadian Construct.
“Rush jumped the shark months ago and I hope he never recovers his audience.”
I doubt that he can. He doesn’t seem to care very much. Without that passion, he won’t rebuild to what he had. More broadly, I expect that political talk radio will have to revamp towards more of a news and interview format than the ‘authoritative’ sermonizing so much of it has become. A return to exchanging ideas than reciting dogma. Ingraham and Hannity are ahead of the pack.
Rushs show has been boring for years. When he stopped the parodies
And replaced them with ads
What did Cruz do and win at fighting Obama?
I can’t think of a thing. He just made you think he was doing something.
Trump isn’t Tea Party because he isn’t a focused on the Constitution as the Tea Party supposedly is.
Of course, if the timetable truly has been accelerated and the Republican delegate math looking the way it is, the media campaign against nominee Trump would make Sarah Palin's time with the media look like a tea social.
Rush has known all along what was going on, but for the price of becoming a multi millionaire he kept a lid on the truth. Essentially the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies has been a farce!
Where might our country be and our fellow countrymen be if for the last 25 years Rush had been tellng his listeners what treachery was going on behind the scenes? We would have many many fewer dumb Americans, many more aware Americans, protecting their country and their rights. Standing up to save their liberty.
Maybe in those 25 years, we wouldve been able to put up a fight. Maybe we could’ve saved this country.
25 years of education could’ve made the difference. Rush has let down his country.
“LOL! Any doubt but that he is dead right on this one?”
Yeah, and a stopped clock is right twice a day! If Rush had the best interests of this country in mind, he would have stayed out of the middle of Trump/Cruz. And the fact that he still sees Cruz as a “principled conservative” says all I need to know about where he really is in this political season.
“What did Cruz do and win at fighting Obama? / I can’t think of a thing. He just made you think he was doing something.”
Obama has NOT gotten everything he wanted. Did gun control pass? Nope. Republicans, including Cruz, have stopped many things - and would have stopped more, if the liberal Republicans had helped Cruz instead of Obama.
Meanwhile, Trump was giving money to Democrats and saying nice things about Obama and Hillary. In 2013, he was saying nice things about DeBlasio...that’s less than 3 years ago.
My vote will go to anyone running against Hillary, but I don’t see any reason to call Trump a conservative. And he is not, by any means, a social conservative.
“Ingraham and Hannity are ahead of the pack.”
No question about Laura, but Sean needs to drop his “Fox Shackles” (like Lou Dobbs) and really support Donald Trump. And for Townhall and National Review, I just wish George Carlin was still alive so he could add all of them to his “List of People Who Needs to be Killed!” The other wortless “pseudo-conservative” (really a closet Liberal), Charles Krauthammer needs to be put off the air too.
‘Sean needs to drop his “Fox Shackles”’
Definitely, but he has dealt with this cycle SO much better than 2012! More thoughtful, more independent, and while leading more interesting and varied discussions.
As you say, though, it's way late in the game to fix matters. Government is far bigger and more intrusive, and people not only look to it more and more to fix things, but they accept that anything can be passed by Congress or deigned by the President and then fought out in the courts while it's in effect. Mind-boggling.
Yes. I thought Levin was getting to the heart of the problem too but then something changed with him. He appeared to be angrier and angrier. Or maybe he was under some stress. At any rate he went off the rails and finally when he didn’t support Trump but apparently went negative on him I felt he was being disingenuous. Especially it was odd because at first it seemed he was supporting Trump. Then it changed. Odd. Maybe the gope got him back in line.
Levin went off over something Roger Stone did. He’s said he will reconsider his never Trump stand, but right now he’s really too pissed. Of course, he may change based on last night.
