"2) Start agitating with demands that the GOP national organization start playing HARDBALL. Only they have the power to dig up the damaging information and then do something with it."

There's the problem. They don't hardball because, while not nearly as lacivious, they have their own skeletons and play ball just like the RATS on most accounts. That's why voting for a RAT is voting for a communist and voting for many Republicans is the equivalent of voting for a RAT of 20 or 30 years ago...or more! The whole landscape has shifted left politically to where we are fighting just to keep the country aware of it's origins. And too many of the GOP leadership are compromised people of shady integrity themselves. It's sad...

I agree...the slime machines are now in FULL force and this is just the beginning salvoes.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Didn't the Enquirer have a photo of Rush shaking hands with an alien? (Such is the credible news they offer.)

WHICH Klintoon lawyer is legal council for this supermarket rag?

[Pro-Bush]

My original Post #83:

"I love Rush like a Father, but if this is true, Rush should resign from the EIB network. This is a hard thing to say."

I stick by that remark. Don't label me as a Rush hater or anything else.

[ApesForEvolution]

With that mirror by your computer, you should...

[Exigence]

At this rate, by the end of the week, the media will have Rush involved in the Laci Peterson murder.

I know you meant this sarcastically, but if they could, they would. No story is too far out if it takes down a conservative voice.

I used to disdain conspiracy theories, but ever since Monica and the blue dress, I've had to wonder. Maybe Mel Gibson's movie was more of a statement than I thought...

[Robert_Paulson2]

You are a rush hater.....

heh heh... i had too, you told me not to...
I did it anyway...

[WHBates]

What was you first clue? look at the "pro_bush" post(s)

[onyx]

RATS are bouyed by their success in destroying Bennett, and now they've taken aim at Rush, just in time for election '04.

This story is absurd. These pills aren't illegal. Why the hell would he have to buy them from the black market?

[Fracas]

There's something seriously strange about this story. Consider this.

1. I watch Rush on the video cam. He doesn't look spaced out or out of control, and he doesn't leave the chair for an hour or two at a time some days....he's sure not taking all those pills with water!

2. Marta is a smart woman. Can anyone possibly believe that a housekeeper could hide 100 - not even to say 4,000! - pills under the mattress? Even the cats would find them...and Rush would never allow harm to come to the cats.

3. I receive spam Emails every day offering Vicodin for sale via the internet. I don't have a housekeeper, but I wouldn't be short of drugs, either.

4. I have a bunch of other reasons for thinking this is off the wall, but my favorite is this:

IF RUSH PLANNED TO BUY DRUGS IN A PARKING LOT, IT WOULD BE RUTH'S CHRIS, NOT DENNY'S.

[Exigence]

But the rest of the story doesn't even begin to add up.

True, but the Wilson CIA leak story is just as fishy and it's all the lib media has talked about for days...

Credibility isn't high on their list of criteria.

[onyx]

Rush IS the EIB network.

[T. Jefferson]

Somehow I doubt my maid has a high powered attorney who paid a huge retainer in full overnight. I doubt she's unavailable for comments, and I bet she'll be cleaning my toilet tomorrow, daily news toilet paper and all.

[slimer]

However, with just 3 Hydrocones you can't think, speak, and it's almost instantaneous sleep

People react differently to drugs. I use to take two or three vicodin at a time and they would pick me up because the pain would go away. Pain zaps your energy.

[hmmmmm]

It's the beginning.. and hopefully the end.. they're so used to having no competition they've forgotten that we've the truth at our fingertips. It's going to be ugly.

[Timesink]

Sad but true. Oxycontin is (i believe) a class III drug, which means the prescription is in triplicate form and a refill cannot be called in. You have to get another prescription from your doctor each time.

Oxycontin is Schedule II, which is even more restricted than Schedule III. I think the triplicate prescription thing depends on what state you live in, but there's no question that the DEA has gone very Big Brother on doctors, to the point where many absolutely will not prescribe many drugs that have even the slightest chance of abuse (such as Xanax, Valium, etc, that are only Schedule IV), because they're TERRIFIED of the DEA; they allow the patient to suffer to cover their own butts.

The situation has gotten so bad that a few years ago the FDA had to institute a whole new set of regulations that COMPELS hospitals to treat patients with as much pain medication as they need; the hospitals can lose their accreditation if a patient is allowed to suffer because of a scared (or old-fashioned "deal with it" *sshole-type) doctor.

Okay.....okay......uncle.......uncle:

You convinced me with the Ruth's Crisp...........LOL!

[lainie]

They might not be illegal but they are controlled.

[CyberAnt]

Well I'm a former cop and this thing stinks to high heaven.
