    can you explain? i think for myself...i actually make my living studying politics...i see him as having more credibility than npr, pbs, all the "dino media." but that's just me. going through life thinking that everyone not like you can't think for themselves...isn't a way to go through life.

    didn't he say 'there are more trees today than there were 100 years ago!'
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Plus after the 2006 elections he said he was glad many of the Republicans lost because he was tired of falsely sticking up for them -- he admits he has been lying for these guys for years -- and all the dittoheads continue to listen to him as if he isnt still lying to them. Unbelievable.

    If I get banned, then I get banned, but you are an idiot. you really are...you are incapable of thinking.

    he didn't "admit" to lying "for these guys" and if that's your interpretation, you are not very smart.
    And you ask me what I want this year

    Really? This is what Limbaugh said. Please explain to me what he means by these statements if he isnt admitting he has been lying about supporting them. And you believe everything he says now because ??? (You have to take your blinders off to read, btw)

    Limbaugh on his November 8th, 2006 show -->

    "I feel liberated, and I'm going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don't think deserve having their water carried. Now, you might say, "Well, why have you been doing it?" Because the stakes are high. Even though the Republican Party let us down, to me they represent a far better future for my beliefs and therefore the country's than the Democrat Party and liberalism does."

    "And I believe my side is worthy of victory, and I believe it's much easier to reform things that are going wrong on my side from a position of strength. Now, I'm liberated from having to constantly come in here every day and try to buck up a bunch of people who don't deserve it, to try to carry the water and make excuses for people who don't deserve it."

    "But there have been a bunch of things going on in Congress, some of this legislation coming out of there that I have just cringed at, and it has been difficult coming in here, trying to make the case for it when the people who are supposedly in favor of it can't even make the case themselves -- and to have to come in here and try to do their jobs."

    Makes sense to me. He didn't like defending people he didn't fully agree with but he realized he either defended them or implicitly endorsed others that he disagreed with even more so. Isn't that what people who voted for John Kerry but whose hearts were really green did?

    No, it isn't. Rush just seems to be trying to disassociate himself with the walking talking disaster that is the Bush administration. Kerry voters were better than 2 years ahead of him.

    Q: What?

    "just seems to be trying to" is not much of an authoratative(sp?) statement. Seems like if you really knew what he was doing you could say it with a little more confidence than what you did. I remember distinctly people on this board talking about how they voted for Kerry but they really wanted to vote Green or someone else that was further left than Kerry, but they voted Kerry because they thought it was so important this time around to defeat Bush not because Kerry was so great, a la Vote For Change tour endorsing Kerry instead of Nader. I still don't see any difference here.

    One other point of notice, Bush didn't run in 2006, Bush didn't lose in 2006, so Rush's comments have nothing to do with Bush, but you made sure to bring it in to the fray. Let me one up that trend and accuse Rush of being a Nazi.

    A: Take that!

    That's pretty weak.
    "...just seems to be trying to" as in he's using "Republicans" "letting us down" as the course of his logic. Well, what Republicans are there? What Party is currently in the White House, and has been since 2001?

    It's really hard to come up with something amusing when I have no idea what you're talking about. I tried with the last one but this one's just too far for me to grasp. I do know the Republicans there are the ones that didn't lose and the Party currently in the White House, and has been since 2001 is the party that won both the 2000 and 2004 Presidential election, the Republican Party. However, I have no idea how that has anything to do with the analogy that I've laid out of people voting for/supporting someone they don't fully believe in because they think the only other option is even worse.

    Rush is sticking with the Republicans, read his comments again.

    Of course he's sticking with the Republicans, what the hell is your point? I said that from the beginning. He's sticking with the Republicans because he thinks the Democrats are worse! Although that's the bottom line, the fact is, he was pretty sick of some of the Republicans too but he continued to support them because he thought the Democrats were worse. Why is that so hard to grasp?

    I don't know where you're coming from, man, you have no argument, or, that is to say, your argument is nonsense, and you just like carrying Rush Limbaugh's jocks str, er, girdle.

    4 replys into my original post and now you don't know where I'm coming from? ...when I've repeated myself 4 times...

    I'm not buying it. You couldn't act that ignorant. The analogy is clear. People, some on this board, admitted to voting for John Kerry not because they thought he was the best candidate and everything they'd ever hoped for in a cadidate but because they thought Bush was so evil that they had to vote for Kerry because he had a shot of winning and the 3rd party candidates that they were more aligned with politically didn't. This is another example of someone supporting someone that they don't fully believe in, that's exactly what Rush said he did.

    ...and as if you were placing a cherry on top of a sundae, your final act of intellectual dominance is to end your post with a personal attack on me. I'm glad my mother taught me better. Goodbye.

    Your ideas are an insult to logic.

    On second thought, maybe desandrews was trying to come around to the notion of 'peace' in his own way. I guess maybe what he was trying to say was that we're all pretty much the same on the inside. We're all fallible, vulnerable humans, even Rush Limbaugh.

    I don't have a problem with that.

    If I keep holding out
    Will the light shine through?
    Under this broken roof
    It's only rain that I feel
    I've been wishin' out the days
    Oh oh oh
    Come back
    I have been planning out
    All that I'd say to you
    Since you slipped away
    Know that I still remain true
    I've been wishin' out the days
    Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
    I wouldn't have lost you another way
    From wherever you are
    Oh oh oh oh
    Come back
    And these days, they linger on, yeh, yeh
    And in the night, I've been waiting for
    A real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
    I go to sleep
    If I don't fall apart
    Will my memory stay clear?
    So you had to go
    And I had to remain here
    But the strangest thing to date
    So far away
    and yet you feel so close
    I'm not going to question it any other way
    There must be an open door for you
    To come back
    And the days they linger on, yeh
    Every night I'm waiting for
    Is the real possibility that I may need to in my dream
    And Sometimes you're there
    and you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
    And it's ok
    It's ok
    it's ok
    I'll be here
    Come back, come back
    I'll be here
    Come back, come back
    I'll be here
    Come back, come back
    Oooooooo
    Oooooooo
    Oooooooo

    Well crank the fucking presses up! Gue_barium has an opinion! Gue. the eloquence in which you express yourself when speaking down to a conservative is utterly fascinating! Why quote the rest of your garbage? You could've just began by calling him a child and offering him an oatmeal bath. Though I will concede conservatives are pretty cute when they speak about things intelligently aren't they?

    Hey Hawk, why not highlight the Communist Manifesto for us next thread instead of wasting your time filling skulls full of mush with the toxic ramblings of Rush Limbaugh? Are you really that stupid Hawk? More importantly, how do you deal so well idiots? Must be the handbook they send out before the school year begins that keeps you so tightly reigned in. Of course I can see the rather blatant correlations between school children and some of the people that frequent this forum.
