Will Rush Limbaugh Be Indicted for Voter Fraud? »
Posted By not2needy 1 year, 3 months ago in NewsIn case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh, the nation's top-rated talk radio host, was urging Republicans in Texas and Ohio to skip their party's primary on March 4 and instead cast a vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the fight between her and Barack Obama. And that Tuesday, as media in both states reported, thousands of Republicans did just

FTA:
And on Wednesday, the day after the Ohio primary, Fox News asked Clinton if she owed Limbaugh a thank you. "Be careful what you wish for, Rush," she replied. Later that day, Limbaugh played the Fox tape on his show and said, "How do you interpret this, folks? She could have said thank you. She could have said thank you! In fact, I was expecting in her victory speech last night to be thanked.
"I helped give Mrs. Clinton the biggest and happiest moment and night of the campaign season so far, maybe her life, and she tells me, "Be careful what you wish for, Rush"? Why, that sounds like a threat, does it not? I've got a Democrat presidential candidate threatening your host. Why, I am stunned! After all I did ..."

The funniest part is that we call OURSELFS the SANE ones - and ridikule you libbies as the nutcases!!
Oh. heh heh heh - Im laughin even as I saye it.
My God - its liek weare hypocrisy personified!
Right now, we are tryin to drum up a focus-a-hate on Obama for somethin his paster said.
But LAND-O-GOSHEN! We talk liek this Wright fella every ding dang day! And our right wing firebrands make MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollors to do it!
All to make our Christian Conservative followers feel not so queasy bout our hypocrisy.

Are you kidding me??
With all the independents and democrats that voted for McCain??
If democrats never voted in the republican primaries, there's a good chance Romney would be the nominee!
Limabugh indicted for voter fraud. That's a hoot.
Hey Dems! If you have a problem with your party, it's not talk radio. Look in the mirror!
Oh, but I forgot. It's a woman and a black male running. Things are never their fault are they? My bad.

Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?
For Michigan Democrats, the Democratic primary is meaningless since the DNC stripped the state of all its delegates (at least temporarily) for violating party rules. Hillary Clinton is alone on the ballot.

People are worried about cameras on street corners. Rush Limbaugh and swift boaters are picking presidents, and America voters are still buying tickets to "BUSH HELL"
I don't feel sorry for half the people that are losing jobs, and their homes... they voted for Bush "twice" and booked all of us on that train to hell.

Also FTA:
While this all makes for great talk radio and sounds like fun, there is one catch: What Limbaugh encouraged Republican voters to do in Ohio was a fifth-degree felony in that state, punishable with a $2,500 fine and six to 12 months in jail. That is because in order to change party affiliation in Ohio, voters have to fill out a form swearing allegiance to that party's principles "under penalty of election falsification."
Prosecute that SOB, don't talk about it, do it. That bunch needs consequences.

I've got no problem with them prosecuting Rush for this if they can prove there is something there. As long as they do the same for the Democratic pundits who encouraged the same behavior in the Republican primary. More than one of them, possibly The Huffington, too, encouraged Democrats to switch registration and vote for Ron Paul. For less than altruistic reasons.

I'd like to see some evidence of that. I'm pretty into the news and I don't remember seeing the Huffington Post ask dems to vote for Dr. Paul.
On the other hand, I often hear even local radio talk show hosts asking Repubs to throw a wrench into Democratic Party politics.

LMAO! I'm afraid, though, it would take some doing to go over the list of those who voted, and see if they were registered republicans previously. Then of course they'd have to swear they took Limbats advise, or even heard what he said. Kind of ironic that the slob is saved by 'liberal' protections of the burden of proof.

Walden:
Many Repubs like me were perfectly content to let McCain go down in defeat to his liberal peers. You can thank Rev. Wright for McCain's double-digit lead over both his fellow Democrats.
As for the marketplace of ideas, you name the topic and I will be more than happy to step up. I assume here that if it's about ideas, then personalities like Bush and Clinton are off-radar. It's your team who couldn't even keep one single liberal radio format up and running, and even then it had to steal money from needy children.

"on his way back from the underage prostitute wonderland of the Dominican Republic"
And you know this how? Walden.
Do you often go to the Dominican Republic for your underage prostitutes?
In your opinion, why is the Dominican Republic a "wonderland" for underage prostitute?
Is this just your own personnel experience or do you belong to that "club"?

THAT is the root of all their evil. They cannot compete fairly.
It should be illegal anywhere to attempt to influence an election through fraudulent actions. Crossover voting for nefarious reasons is a fraudulent action, no matter what the law says (in Texas, it is perfectly legal).
I am glad that the fraud didn't do any thing more than give Hillary the appearance of a victory in Texas. After the dust settles she might have earned fewer delegates than Obama. The repugs could do their dirty deeds in the ballot booth, but they didn't dare show up for the caucuses, thus Obama at worst, gets a tie in delegates.
How that drug addled blowhard, who has no morals, no honor, and only a passing acquaintance with truth, could have so many loyal listeners is a mystery. Oh wait, no morals, no honor...of course!! birds of a feather!

But is it not ridiculous to support a racist or Marxist? McCain does bring the suck. But at least he is proud of his country. At least he has the fortitude to conduct a war--even in the face of Democrat American Defeatists.
You slackjaws would hand Iraq over to Muslim Extremists/Islamofascists. (I know you liberal hacks love THAT term...here it is again...Islamofascist. Just say it a few times. You will feel better.

wow! what a hatefest going on here...
sorry, but how on earth would these charges be proven? Last time I looked, there were supposed to be secret ballots, so exactly how would you know who someone voted for? Are you suggesting we not only have to tell who we're voting for, but that we have to vote for whomever for "approved" reasons? Who gets to approve the "approved reasons?"
If I am registered to vote, and I am who I say I am, how on earth can my vote be fraudulent?

Forget about charging, trying or convicting anyone.
Doesn't it just seem wrong to try and pervert democracy, even if it were legal to do so?
I mean shouldn't everyone want the person who gets the most votes fair and square to win?

The question here is not whom you voted for, but which primary you participated in. Yes, it would be difficult to prove anything, but it's still immoral to switch to the other party for a day just to influence the results, and it seems that in Ohio it's illegal too.

"Operation Chaos" is awesome! McCain is too much of a wuss to attack Obama (who is just begging to be asked some tough questions by SOMEONE) so may as well let Hillary do the dirty work.
And my point would be this:
Republicans and Independents have every right to cross over to vote for whomever they want to vote for. Just as Democrats have crossed over to vote for McCain to prevent Romney from getting the nomination. This is a democracy after all. You can vote for whomever you want for whatever personal reason you wish. That is America.
Get to the point you spineless freaks. You are all upset because your candidates are tearing each other apart. And they will not stop for the good of the party. That is the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats care more about political power than they do about the the good of the country. Hillary would ride the Democratic Party into the ground if she thinks she can win the Whitehouse. Obama too.

Let's see some evidence of Democrats switching sides while their candidates are still battling out. To believe your contention we'd have to believe that Democrats are more interested in throwing a wrench into Republican party politics then they are choosing their own candidate. I don't believe it.
On the other hand there is evidence that millions of Republicans switched sides because they already know who their nominee is.
If you have any evidence present it. Otherwise, please stop making unsubstantiated charges.

From a confessed limp-wristed liberal, I take that as the most uplifting compliment.
But I would not say you are the worst kind of human. That title is reserved for those who take innocent life to advance a repressive and enslaving religious world view. Radical Islam produces the worst humans imaginable in my estimation. Perhaps that is why you suffer from the limp wrist? You do not know your enemy, though he would saw your skinny neck off in a heartbeat just to hear you drown as you inhale your last breath of blood.

Silly article, not even the Ohio dems are considering this.
FTA: "But Michael Slater of Project Vote, a nonpartisan group that designs voter registration drives for low-income people, said GOP meddling in the Ohio Democratic Primary was a clear-cut example of fraudulent voting,..."
From the Project Vote site: "Several of these ID laws have prompted lawsuits from voting rights advocates, because they disproportionately impact the elderly, students, women, people with disabilities, low income people and people of color."
So, just about everyone except middle and upper-income white men. Surely just a coincidence.

I accidentally had this guy's radio show on one day and he was blasting John McCain. What's his story? Is he waiting for the law to change so Bush can get a third term?
I think he and his Republican buddies are angry that they could not get more of the same and that the American public actually got to choose three people who they think will succeed in office.

You may be able to get a majority of lefties here on Libscape to ramble on about Limbaugh but it really kills you to that he has the largest audience of any talk show or tv news show. That creepy Al Franken and Air America dies on the vine so you have to turn to hate speach here. He can not be indited for anything.

Limbaugh has a large audience because most conservatives are incapable of thinking for themselves. They have only a rudimentary stick-figure understanding of the real world. In a fractal, grey-scale universe, they are limited to a perception of black or white, us vs. them, "you're either with us, or against us" mentality. This is the mentality of the lowest form of insect. Of course conservatives would be attracted to someone like Limbaugh who talks in this over-simplistic, black and white, us vs. them view of the world. It is the only thing they are capable of understanding.
As far as Al Franken and Air America, it should be no surprise that they don't have large followings, as their target audience IS capable of thinking for themselves, and seeing the world as it really is. Unlike Limbaugh's supporters (about 20 million?) we don't need someone to do our thinking for us.
