Comments for Will Rush Limbaugh Be Indicted for Voter Fraud? »
Posted By not2needy 1 year, 8 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 ..."

Thats why we Christian Conservatives liek im!
See, our ideeologie is founded on hypocrisy. You libbies know it. We Christian Conservatives know it.
We drag America through the most polluted areas of the brain, the muddiest, most disgustingly cynical swamps of our own moral vacancy - and we laugh and laugh and laugh.
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.

I love beer, but I think this off topic discussion should be taken off-line. Chat and flirt with married women all you want in private messages. I believe it is at least somewhat important to draw attention to the double standards of uber right wing nut jobs like Rush and how easily he gets away with blatant criminal activity like voter fraud.

There never was the "good old days" - time was when candidates were chosen in the smoke-filled backrooms - but now smoking is banned & the backroom has become the internet &
talk radio. In Truman's time there was the Pendergast (sp) machine & Kennedy had poppa Joe & now the cons got Limburger & Eva Braun Coulter - it's just the same story with a different cast of characters

uhmm what?

Smoke filled back rooms mean secret deals that you, the peon, don't know about.
"the backroom has become the internet & talk radio"
Its kinda hard to hide these "secret" meetings, deals on talk radio cause its kinda sorta BROADCAST WORLD WIDE!

Tahnks Bozo.
I appreciate you not considerin the facts.
I guess the bestest fact lookin us Conservatives squarely in the eye is the very name we assign ourselfs.
We call ourselfs FISCAL CONSERVATIVES. !!
Aint that a hoot worthy of a Clown? I mean, take a look at this chart...
http://www.uuforum.org/deficit.htm
I mean its as plain as the big red nose on your clown face!!
And thats just ONE of the apparent hypocrisies of our craaazie Neo-Con ideeologie.
THERES MORE!!
Liek our disrespect of the American Soldier!
Shure, we support the Military SUPPLIERS! But the soldier? Not so much.
Our Neo-Cons fight against the GI Bill, against health care for vets, against pay raises, against bonuses.
Our Neo-Cons watch as Walter Reed crumbles around our vets.
Our Neo-Cons vote to cut funding for Head Trauma centers for vets.
Our Neo-Cons fight against vets seekin answers to Agent Orange exposure, Gulf War syndrome, against vets seekin help for PST.
Maybe hypocrisy is too modest.

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.

Prove that they were telling the truth. It is not illegal to lie to a pollster.
"I don't care whether it's legal or illegal. It's just wrong. Why should Republicans get to chose the Democratic nominee?"
I don't know, but no one here had a problem with party-hoppers and "independents" picking McLame for the Republicans.
"Thought crimes? I'm not sure what you are talking about."
Assigning blame based on what you think was going on in a person's mind is an attempt to prosecute a "thought crime". Even if the voters were self-declared Republicans, no one knows what the motivation or impetuous was behind their decision.

Thought crime is BS. It's a red herring. You want me to believe that millions of Republicans voted in the Democratic primary because they want Hillary to be president. You'd make excuses for anyone as long as their last name is (R).
It's clear that Republicans tried to throw a wrench into the machine.
Let's see some evidence that McCain was picked by Democrats. I showed evidence that millions of Republicans voted in Democratic primaries.

Exit polls are
Not scientific. Exit polls are based on a selected polling place and a selected time. Who can say that at a different time at a different polling place the exit polls would be the same or different.
We all KNOW dem voters at exit polls will claim to be repubs who vote for dems.

Just because something may be allowed doesn't make it right. I guess you like to be able to say that you followed the letter of the law.
Once again, Dems should pick their own caadidate in peace and Repubs should be left to pick their own candidate in peace. Trying to disturb either party's process is wrong.

It doesn't make much difference one way or the other. We are the ones who run the country. Mr. (or Mrs.) prez works for us.
Since re-POOP-li-CANs have thrown us too far one way, and we don't want a rubber band effect of the "Dumb-o-Craps" We should vote to have one of EACH put into office for a term, to straighten the ****** out, together.

Really the question would be. Why is it illegal in any state? Really think on that. Why are they telling you how to vote, who you can vote for. No one should set any type of rule like this and you all know it. Think on what the founding Fathers of this country would be thinking of this voting system we have now.

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.

Yes it is and it was fine with what happened in Ohio too. The states should have only one ballot to begin with, with the voter having FULL choice. Sometimes there is a Democrat I want on the ticket because he is best qualified and sometimes it is a Republican, but I have to make a decision and slight one or the other. These rules are passed because Politicians don't think the populace can make right choices but the politicians think they can. GIVE us the decision and let the chips fall where they may.

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.

It's not right for anyone to do that.
From your link:
"In 1972, Republican voters in Michigan decided to make a little mischief, crossing over to vote in the open Democratic primary and voting for segregationist Democrat George Wallace, seriously embarrassing the state's Democrats. In fact, a third of the voters (PDF) in the Democratic primary were Republican crossover votes. In 1988, Republican voters again crossed over, helping Jesse Jackson win the Democratic primary, helping rack up big margins for Jackson in Republican precincts. (Michigan Republicans can clearly be counted on to practice the worst of racial politics.) In 1998, Republicans helped Jack Kevorkian's lawyer -- quack Geoffrey Feiger -- win his Democratic primary, thus guaranteeing their hold on the governor's mansion that year."

Just because we allow it to be done, means it can be done and WILL be done..
J-walking, exaggerating on taxes and speeding are even considered illegal, but THEY are even stringently not enforced.
If you want change, then pass an enforceable law. If you don't then EXPECT to be taken advantage of..
That's not illegal..it's smart!
While you're busy raising your hands in shock, they are slapping their knees and laughing at your naivety.
Again, this is why I don't give Democrats money anymore.

That I agree with, and IF the rules, and laws, should apply they should apply to BOTH parties, and that is the problem here, most seem to think it's ok if it's their side. The other thing is why would anyone let Rush tell them who to vote for, anymore than anyone would let you or me tell them. People will listen and do that if and when, THEY decide too. Just as I was saying before, people like having a scapegoat, it's so much nicer than taking personal responsibility for out own actions. And before you even try it, as I've also said before, I am NOT a Rush fan, never listen to him, and from what I have gathered from the little I do know of him he seems mean-spirited much of the time going by quotes I've seen here. And I don't like any of the candidates left, so as I've also said many times here, I have no intention of voting for any of them, I'll be writing in Duncan Hunter, the only one I ever thought was worth voting for, and no one told me I should do that btw.

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.

There are christians and there are Christians N2N. Some people think that just claiming to be christian and saying that they accept Jesus as their savior is enough to make them good people.
You don't have to be a Christian to be a good person and being a christian doesn't make you a good person.
I doubt if Rush will suffer any repercussions for his call for voter fraud in Ohio, but it is something that a sinner like me can fantasize about!
Maybe if he gets some prison time he will get gain some understanding about the minorties that he seems to be so fearful of.

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.

no, Wright isn't running for president, but then neither is Limbaugh (or Bush for that matter),right? Yet here are people calling for him to go to prison for trying to influence how people vote. Isn't that what each one running for office does everyday, and isn't it (although unintentionally) what Wright did? If it's wrong, isn't it wrong for all, or is they just bias towards the right doing it, and saying it's ok for the left? Think Michgan and Florida, and now those responsible for what happened in those states want to change the rules to try and fix the unintended consequences of what they had wanted that led to those consequences, now how fair is that to the voters of those states?

zaph22: "who goes to prison for Michigan, Florida, and Texas?"
Nobody. As I understand from the comments from Texans, it is not illegal in Texas to vote in the other party's primary. In the case of Michigan and Florida, everybody knew the rules from the start and they should stick by them. There is no harm screaming against the rules, as long as no laws are broken. The article says that in Ohio, the voters had to swear loyalty to the party by signing a statement. My understanding is that falsely swearing to something is a crime. Encouraging others to do so is probably a crime too.

Have you read the article? No people are not calling for him to go to prison for trying to influence how people vote. He's been doing that for many years, and nobody wanted to imprison him for that. People are calling for his prosecution because he was encouraging people to break the law by making a false sworn statement.

Asking someone to commit a crime makes this Tub of Lard an accessory to the crime, and will probably face the same punishment as the criminal.
I would love to see this lowlife spend some quality time in a Federal or State Guest House. He can get some real good "lessons' there!
By the way, committing an election fraud may make it a Federal crime.

Candida, the rev wright did however rant in church about how his congregation should vote for B.O. Saying that hillary did not know what it was like to have taxis not stop for her because of her color. And that she does not know what it is like to be stopped by racist cops. I'm sure you heard it last week. It was in the same 'sermon' where he said "Hillary aint never been called a N____R".

Georgia..,
I am glad you want to talk about ideas!
Let us get started.
Let us talk about Conservative philosophy of the Government living within its means, limited Government, no deficit spending, moral values such as telling the truth, honesty and respect for another person's right of opinions. Add respect for Constitution and rule of law. You may even add the opposition to military adventurism and rampant corruption and "No Bid" multi-billion dollar contracts.
Then let us see how the current administration stacks up against these principles.
Would you like to comment?

Walden
"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"?

"The bigger question I think is why are Republicans so afraid to compete fairly in the marketplace of ideas?"
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!

Limpjaw was inciting a criminal act under the laws of Ohio. There is no question that he is inciting an immoral and un-American act, just as there is little doubt that he is an immoral blowhard. His actions and statements are what is under discussion.

How bout we just hand it back to the Iraqis?
Your terminology is interesting tho.
What does a person not hand over but what is theirs, their possession?
Iraq is ours?
and how did we get it?
were we shopping and knocked it over and the Eternal Clerk said, 'You broke it you buy it'?
or did we just make up excuses and take it
and shortly after we didn't want it anymore
possession is 9/10ths of the law, even to the lawless I guess

The Bush-Qaeda strategy does not work. Finish your Bush butt sniffing and then when your done chew on this:
It's been 7 years, where's Bin Laden?
Mission Accomplished!
The events of 9/11 resulted in losing the most valued civil liberties. The people who could have stopped it allowed it to happen. They reasoned that an attack on our soil would be the right solution to another problem- the one they fixed shortly after 9/11. The war in Iraq is for profiteering.
It's understandable, it's not laughable, that your conservative viewpoint takes only yourself into account. Like that fat Rush Limberger your brain sees narrower and narrower. Folks like you are the kind of people that are thankful to have a do-nothing job, will watch as their neighbors are carted away- in attempts to retain the liberties which you now enjoy.

It's an all out push to remove our civil liberties. The "right to be left alone by an overly intrusive government" is one of the most prized liberties.
It's sad that our younger generations are all too easy to say "well, I don't care if they spie on me- I've got nothing to hide." That's just the kind of generation they want- one that doesn't care- one that doesn't realize how these corporate fascists can use such things.

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?

"I mean shouldn't everyone want the person who gets the most votes fair and square to win?"
In a democracy yes. The USA is not a democracy, it's a Republic look it up. Almost 8 year's and ya still haven't educated yourself? Dumb.
Electoral college
Each state has 2 Senators that's 2 Electoral votes total 100. All states are equal
Each state has X number of Representatives total 435. All states are not equal.
Who ever gets the most votes in that state wins that state and all Electoral votes that go with that state (Democratic)
Who ever wins the most Electoral votes wins the White house (Republic)

You're funny you type something at 1:30 in the morn, then you come back a 1/2 hour later to add something else that you think contributes to the conversation.
If you read the article you'd see that perversion of democracy means switching parties just to throw a wrench in the the other sides choice of candidates.
What's wrong with allowing Democrats to choose their candidate and Republicans to choose their candidate?
Why do Republicans feel the need to muddy the waters and get involved in what should be a Democratic battle?
That doesn't seem right to me and I'm neither a Dem nor a Repub.

if you represent liberal philosophy on this one, I am scared, because it is very unrealistic.
Liberals are supposed to be creative thinkers and dreamers who
are ahead of their time. This does not work with a bad plan and often that is what does them in..
They look brilliant with good plans, like female rights, desegregation, public parks and libraries, but look stupid
when they impose bad legislation like rampant affirmative action, urban renewal followed by urban decay and rampant
immunity while our borders STILL remain unprotected.

I also assume you do not see America being threatened by same sax marriage, support stronger pollution and environmental standards and are against any US occupation (such as Iraq) that has absolutely no definitive strategy.

Klarissa,
The strange thing is both Florida and Michigan State Democratic parties were warned of the consequences of pushing their primaries ahead of DNC's schedule. They defied these rules. There was plenty of time for them to appeal it or to seek alternative means of seating their delegates, but as usual, their dysfunctional apparatus ignored their options.
Now, when Hillary found out that she is way behind in pledged delegates, she wants to open this issue to game the system.
If the State parties thumbed their noses at their national party, let them face the music from their constituents. After all, these are primaries, and party rules prevail. If this were a national election, the issue of disenfranchisement becomes very serious.

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.

And Obama admitted to drug use in his books, so what? The interesting thing here isn't that Rush used drugs, I'll take your word for that since I don't listen to him, personally I'm one conservative that thinks Rush is a rather pompus, mean spirited windbad, but that is just from what I've seen and heard of him here. I also think, from the little I can gather, that his show is more a satire, maybe not a good one, but none the less satire. Anyway, point I'm trying badly to get too is this, if it's bad for one side to do this kind of thing, it's bad for both, yet I see partians on the left no wanting to have everyone play by the same rules. Again I'll say this... Michgan, Florida, Texas, and now Ohio. And it appears that many don't want us to be able to change our minds and vote the way we see fit, what's next, putting the "correct" party affiliation on birth certificates and making people vote that way their entire lives?

Neither do my employees.(come cheaply)
No one, once trying them, has ever said that the expense on themselves and their loved ones wasn't worth it.
We haven't raised our prices since 1994, so imagine how expensive they appeared back then, but were much harder to get, so people paid it.
Tough making a living on just one product. We're struggling since Starbucks cut us out in 2005, but now we're back in their New England stores since Feb..
They are "enlightened" by trans-fat free products now, but didn't care about that when they dumped us.
By the way, we make .27/cake for local stores, THEY double the
mark-up..
Mail order is where we make a $4.00/cake profit..
Get me your address, we'll send you a "promotional" cake.

"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.

Was there a Vietnam withdrawal plan in 1963? The answer is yes. What is at issue is not whether such plans had been created and initiated, but whether they were "serious," i.e., whether the withdrawal would have continued in the face of a worsening situation in South Vietnam.
On October 11, 1963, Kennedy signed NSAM 263, initiating a withdrawal of 1,000 troops out of roughly 16,000 Americans stationed in Vietnam. Other documents, including planning documents from the spring of 1963, show that this was the first step in a planned complete withdrawal.

The exit polls are pretty evidential ya think? Quite a few repugs admitted they voted for Hillary because they were told that McCain could defeat her in the general election.
How about the fact that in Texas, Hillary won the popular vote, but was swamped in the caucuses, where the repugs could not alter the outcome?
Denial of the facts won't change them. The repugs have proven over and over they have no honor and have little respect for our democracy.

And jeez Mogger, "saw your skinny neck off ina heartbeat just to hear you drown as you inhale your last breath of blood?" Violent man, where do you come up with ****** like that? Do you watch a lot of horrific death flicks? Do you torture animals? Interesting enough.
But I submit to you people like Falwell or Phelps or the Jesus Camp all of whom you worship use children as weapons, indoctrinating them to do this or that. to perform actions which may not kill but may incite death. Jesus Camp even suggests that they learn the tricks of Al Qaida to be more effective..child soldier training anybody? I think you have some learning to do Mogger.

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 http://www12.asphost4free.com/greatmattress affiliation in Ohio, voters have to fill out a form swearing allegiance to that party's principles "under penalty of election falsification.">>>>>>
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 http://www12.asphost4free.com/superbmattress previously. Then of course they'd have to swear they took Limbats advise, or even http://www12.asphost4free.com/massagechair heard what he said. Kind of ironic that the slob is saved by 'liberal' protections of the burden of proof.

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'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I won't be voting for a candidate from either party.
However, I do think that Republicans should be left alone to chose their candidate in peace and Democrats should be left alone to choose their candidate in peace.

That Rush Limberger has a brain that sees narrower and narrower. He was poppin ludes because he couldn't keep looking at that face in the mirror- realizing what a narrow-minded, selfish, unrepentive, and conservative sack of crap he had become.

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.

ahhh poor liberal weenies, it hurts so much to thank the country as a whole does not think the way you do. 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. If I told you to jump off a bridge and you did does that make me a criminal or you just plain stupid.

Rather than call strangers names, do you have any thoughts on the story? Any opinion on whether it's right for Republicans to switch sides to throw a wrench into Democrats being able to choose their own candidate?
I thought not. Please feel free then to continue to call strangers names.

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.

After ALL the hate he barfed out about Hillary for the last 15 years...
Now he is FOR her?
Conservative Christian Republicans are LIARS that suckle at the teats of LIARS. They really think the bile of hate is milk of human kindness.
Satan and the Neocons sold them a bill of goods, and now has SOLD THEM DOWN THE RIVER.
CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS OF GLORY!
GOD BLESS THE DECIDER AND THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE

Love Rush or hate Rush, the idea he came up for was original and will add to his immortality. I mean, to actually get his listeners to vote for a CLINTON? Isn't that ironic?!? Well, I've been hearing Rush lately, and he's really been entertaining. He's been playing some Paul Shanklin songs that are a scream. My favorite is "Jeremiah Was MY Pastor". Another is "Barak The Magic Negro". IN the second, Shanklin does a GREAT Sharpton impersonation. Well, what the heck, I'll post them so you can play them, if you want.

what really funny is that rush didnt invent the party switching idea..he got it from the democrats--i love watching the libs scream about this when their talk icons have been doing the same thing for years--turnabout is fair play--in the last election more than one left-wingnut host encouraged people to move to ohio counties on the edge and all sorts of other REALLY illegal voter manipulation--as well as things like not specifically telling listeners to send campaign contributions to kucinich or whoever..but going on about what great people they are and playing a sound effect of a cash register ringing--sam seder and the shrew rhodes were probably the worst offenders..rush was merely returning the favor..the only difference is that he actually has an audience bigger than a supermarket PA

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

I'm late to this party. But if Limbaugh should be indicted for voter fraud by encouraging voters to participate in the opposition party's primaries, then so should Obama:
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-penn...
"Obama trails Hillary Rodham Clinton by a large margin in Pennsylvania, site of the next Democratic presidential contest. The state has a large number of the older and blue-collar voters who tend to back Clinton. Even this month's most favorable poll for Obama shows her leading by 11 percentage points. One poll has her ahead by 26.
For Obama to win the April 22 election, or even to keep the race close, he needs to pull off an extraordinary feat: identifying sympathetic independent and Republican voters, and persuading them to register as Democrats. The registration deadline is Monday.
With time running out, the Obama campaign is engaged in a house-by-house appeal."

Democrats become more like the Soviet Commies all the time. Party affiliation is law? Yeah, right!! We can't even enforce loyalty oaths to the United States!!!

Some of you people need to take a political science class. This is not new; it has been done for years in the same circumstances as this. The opportunity to act on this is too tasty to pass up. I just can't wait for the tables to be turned some day and for the libs to suddenly have a change of heart. Oh wait, they did that for McCain already! My bad.

good for him.
hopefully he doesn't backslide
best to leave all the guises of the poppy alone, be it heroine, Oxycontin or codeine
I like downs
took LEGAL tranqs for a physical condition for a couple years, until I realized that it shouldn't take three hours to drink a cup of coffee
if you like-a da haze the poppy provides, as Rush and I do
you got to be pretty careful
he may be an amoral blabbermouth, but I won't set myself above him on that other score
despite my comment above about him being a junkie
what I did was legal
but your body don't know the difference

Interesting how, after years of railing against drug offenders, he insisted that he get off with a slap on the wrists. If it had happened to anybody else, their asses would have been thrown in the slammer before they even lost their buzz.

"Harkin's words were nothing more than an insult to those who successfully beat addiction."
If you can spend the rest of your life criticizing Bill Clinton for having an affair, what makes it wrong to criticize this piece of $hit for being a dope addict?
Your republican double standard again?

Alpha,
I am surprised that you are taking Rush for his word, after several instances of his lying to get his but* out of the legal vise!
He is an eternal cheater and liar, and a scumbag to boot. You do remember his insults of Michael J Fox ridiculing his Parkinson's syndrome, don't you? I cannot believe you are supporting a lowlife like him!
