The Great Unifier Attacks Rush January 26, 2009 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Liz Sidoti, AP-Obama. On Friday afternoon, as you know, the president of the United States -- actually it was Friday morning, but we didn't learn about it 'til Friday afternoon. Friday morning in a meeting with House and Senate Republican leaders, President Obama basically told them to stop listening to me, that's not how things get done in Washington. "We can't let Rush Limbaugh stall the stimulus plan." Now, this is the great unifier. This is the man that's going to unify everybody and usher in...

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition to express outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to "fail." http://www.foxnews.com

DCCC must be the roman numerals for “zero.” The left-wing advocacy group has heard some of Rush Limbaugh’s recent remarks and is claiming that Rush hopes that “President Obama fails to meet America’s challenges.” They even started a petition against Limbaugh for attacking Obama. For anyone who’s interested, here’s the DCCC page where anyone can sign the petition and say anything they want to Mr. Limbaugh. You may have already heard Limbaugh’s actual words: “I want Obama to fail,” followed by a complete lack of context. Isolated, the radio personality’s comment suggests that he wants America’s economy to flounder...

The deer-eyed and pea-brained Senator Reid found out last year that he shouldn’t lie about Rush Limbaugh in an attempt to destroy him. If you recall, Rush turned Reid’s action into a charity event that raised millions, and Reid ended up apologizing to Rush. Now the Democrats are trying again to “get” Rush, because he disagrees with Obama’s intentions to socialize our wonderful country and destroy our healthcare system. The housing and credit crisis that the Democrats caused swept Obama into office, but most of us object to his giving away our country to people who won’t work, or who...

Rush Responds to Democrat E-mail Petition Against Him: "I am greatly puzzled. Why would the Democrats petition against me if I am doing such terrible damage to the GOP? Click here to send messages of love, hope and change TO ME via this petition!" Reverse Petition: Click here to tell the DCCC and all other Democrats it is time to stop lying about and distorting Rush's comments on Barack Obama's War on Prosperity. • Radio Equalizer: Democrats Launch New Petition Against Rush Limbaugh

"Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh’s Attacks — sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama. We’ll send Limbaugh your comments." I AM SEND RUSH PRAISES FOR TAKING A STAND. EVERY ONE KNOWS ANY BAD POLICY NEEDS TO FAIL.

Dear "Past Your Eyes", Last week, Rush Limbaugh gave us a preview of the outrageous Republican attacks that are on the way against President Obama and every Democrat working for change. Rush actually said that he 'hopes' President Obama fails to meet America's challenges. Listen to Rush in his own words, saying "I hope he fails." Limbaugh's cheap shot at President Obama might be the first by the Republican attack machine this year but we know that it won't be the last. We need every grassroots Democrat to show Rush Limbaugh and all of the Republicans what they're up against...

I find it highly amusing that some of Obama's antics are having the opposite effect of what he intended. For example, even though Obama is anti-Gun, he seems to be the best gun salesman out there. And when he told House Republican leaders to not listen to Rush Limbaugh, the result was more attention being paid to Rush. Even the Democrat party is failing...

If you think for one moment that Democrats did not want George W. Bush to fail, then I have an East River bridge I'm dying to get off my hands that I'm willing to sell for cheap. When President Bush tried to reform the nation's largest Ponzi scheme - Social Security - I defy anyone to look me in the eye and tell me that Democrats did not want that initiative to fail.When President Bush proposed his across-the-board tax cuts, is there anyone who believes that Democrats did not want that policy to go belly up as well?Name me the...

WASHINGTON, (AP) -- The House Judiciary Committee is taking Karl Rove up on an offer to testify about claims that he influenced a federal corruption case against former Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama. The committee on Thursday asked former White House adviser Rove to appear under oath soon. The panel also wants the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate allegations that political motivations drove the Siegelman case and several other . . .

Just saying: Seems more and more, like there's not a whole lot of behavioral difference between those on one side of the aisle who see everything through the prism of hating Bush,... And those on one side of the aisle who see everything through the prism of hating John McCain. Please. Stop attacking the Republican.

The hard-driving Tim Russert blew it. He allowed McCain to slip away with his dishonest characterization of Romney's statement, i.e., Romney never said he favored a specific time for withdrawal. McCain read the first part of the quote but not the second part, where Romney would veto a congressional time table. By now, everyone who is carefully following this knows that McCain's allegation is flatly false. ... On another note, a rumor is making the rounds that Fred Thompson will endorse John McCain tomorrow. I checked with somebody extremely close to the situation. Fred said the other day that he...

Forum part of the annual Women's Conference When Maria Shriver gathers five wives of 2008 presidential candidates for a forum next week, it will be a first-of-its-kind event. What it won't be is a debate. "I don't want them to spend their time at this conference saying, 'My husband thinks this and my husband thinks that,'" Shriver said. "One of the criticisms of (presidential) debates is that people don't get to know who the people are, that they are canned. I am hoping that we will have a very real conversation with five women who have extraordinary lives and that...

After two hours of deliberation, we voted on a resolution that can be summarized as follows: If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor-party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand. The result was almost unanimous. The other issue discussed at length concerned the advisability of creating a third party if Democrats and Republicans do indeed abandon the sanctity of human life and other traditional family values. Though there was some support for the...

Lost the ability to download cookies from Free Republic for quite some time. I'm back now. I'd like to reconnect with the Stop Rudy list so I can ping 'em to combat the Rudophiles who are infiltrating FR again. Anyone got the ping list?

If Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination and a third party campaign is backed by Christian conservative leaders, 27% of Republican voters say they’d vote for the third party option rather than Giuliani. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that a three-way race with Hillary Clinton would end up with the former First Lady getting 46% of the vote, Giuliani with 30% and the third-party option picking up 14%. In head-to-head match-ups with Clinton, Giuliani is much more competitive. Over this past weekend, several Christian conservative leaders indicated they might back a pro-life, third-party, candidate if Giuliani wins the...
