Hahahahaha! He's gonna be awesome if B. Hussein is elected.
Although I don't listen to Limbaugh often, I was happy to see that his commercial value is still so high simply because it pisses off so many Liberals.
On a related note, I heard today that Air Amerika had lured back Jeanine (the Dyke Buffalo) Garofalo with a four-year contract worth $40.00. One dollar for each of their listeners.
Could be just a rumor.

I prefer Brian and the Judge as well as John Gibson and Angry Rich. I haven't listened to Rush in a year or so but, will definitely put him on the button if the CTS-V if B. Hussein is elected.
But hey there, are you calling me a "Hypocrite and a Liar"? Just wanna check now.. You have been getting pretty rabid lately. RU Missing the bi-polar meds?

That explains your anger. Maybe you should think for yourself instead of listening to talking heads that tell you what to think.
Nice try on the meds game, but it doesn't work in the real world. Try again.

Personally I see pat more like what my young cousin's hot little cheerleader friends refer to as a "bitter betty" ... don't know if that makes any sense ... but think about it ...
God, I love my country! Hope everybody has a happy and healthy Fourth!

You gRUSH: (laughter) Am I worth it? Here's Michael Wolff, the guy you thought was Lex Luthor. He's beside himself He's just beside himself! It's a monster error.
WOLFF: I think it's a monster error. I'm sitting here saying, "What are these people smoking?" You know, the truth is that Rush Limbaugh has been, um, uh... He's ridden the rise of conservatism for 25 years, and I -- I don't... Maybe nobody quite -- quite has been following the news, but that's coming to an end. It's going to be over, and Rush Limbaugh, in a relatively short period of time, is going to look like a kind of really out-of-it oddity. And I cannot, for the life of me, imagine how someone could have made this deal.
RUSH: CNBC, if you keep this up; if you keep putting inane, ignorant people who have no understanding of how media works -- if you keep putting them on to discuss me -- I am going to buy your network and start doing things right or else shut it down.
END TRANSCRIPT
Read the Background Material...

Rush has his place. There's no doubt about that. And it's the liberal's own fault. If there were true balance in the media, he wouldn't have been necessary in the first place. My issue with him is that there are maybe 15% of people on either end of the spectrum that he either speaks for or against. All he really does is whip up the hatred between the extremes. As for the other 70% of the country, he really offers no solutions because he's not interested in solutions. He lives simply to carry on the hate.

What hate are you talking about?Examples would help.
I'm saying ... partisan landscapes shift over time. There were liberal programs that Nixon accepted without question that later on, Clinton ended up dismantling. Yet you don't argue about where each of them stood. They just lived in different times. There's little doubt that the country over the last 20 years has shifted to the right. Lot a reasons for that too. We could talk about it all day. But to be fair, Rush probably has a good part to do with that shift happening and he deserves the credit.
Its hard to be brief with this because I know that there are left versions of Rush out there too - just nowhere near as successful - And if THAT's how you like your politics, then hey ... But the thing is, Rush takes that 15% extreme left that he demonizes and tries to convince people that everyone who disagrees with him thinks like that. And thats a flat out lie. People eat it up too. It's a schtick ... he's really good at it and its made him a rich man. If you read the NYT Magazine's interview with Rush that Pat's post is based on, he tells you flat out that he is first and foremost a businessman.
I'm just suggesting that Rush's "business" is dividing people and its not good for the country. That's my opinion. You want to talk about a lot of the issues Rush brings up ... I think we could find a way to do it without resorting to insults. That's my stance. But Rush is a hitman, he's a gangster for the right, that's how he sees himself. Its a form a cabaret for him.
Too come at it from a slightly different direction, I think the 'old school' left in the US is slowly dying. Its outlived is usefulness. And Rush has been right there pounding the stake in. I think that's a good thing! But it also means that the left no longer represents what it did in 1972. Or if it does, its only for that crazy 15%.
The whole idea of Democracy and the 2 party system is that there should always be a conversation going on between tradition and progress. That's how we work things out. It only stands to reason that not one side is always going to be right. That's more or less all I'm saying.
Rush has clearly served an important role but sooner or later were going to have to move past him.

I dont think he divides the country, rather he points out the half truths or flat out lies by the left. As a young man,when 60 minutes came out on tv, I learned early on the mainstream media which was then CBS,NBC and ABC a liberal slant to it.Monthly there is at least one hit piece on this country or the right leaning people.So Rush comes along and exposed the left to all the issues the mainstream wouldnt.Rush is public enemy #1 to the left.And Rush is a businessman but he is also a steadfast Reagan conservative who is strong in his beleif.T thats a lot more than I can say about our current republican congress.They seem to have forgotten big govt. is not the answer to our problems.

Rush is constantly mis-quoted and lied about by the left. He has an independent audit of his being factual and I think its around 98%. That's why the left hates him, because what he says is true and they can't do character assasination on him because he has his own media outlet to refute it. Many people who dislike him have never listened to him, they just parrot what others have said about him. He does alot of satire which I enjoy. Liberal talk fails because if you are informed you quickly realize that what they are saying is not factual. It is the same propaganda you can get all day long with the mainstream media. :)

The interesting thing about this post is that those that follow rush think whatever he says is truth and those that think for themselves think that the guy is an idiot.
I have listened to him and personally think the guy has a great marketing statagy. Sell your cheap Chineese made merchandise and fear to the fools of the world and they will buy the hatred and fear that he spews because it is what people want to hear. Goebbels would of been impressed by Rush and his ilk for the propoganda that they have spewed out. Truth be damned, as long as it caused fear in the people to blame someone for thier lousy lot in life.
As much as I love this country and it's people, I still believe that one day we will throw all of these idiots out on thier tails and get back to what made this country what it was. A place where all people were FREE to express thier opinions and live as truly free people.
If we keep on the present path, this great experiment that created this country and the ideas that the founders sought will be lost in history.
Think about it and spend some time reading the Constitution and the history of it.

I don't think I feel quite as pessimistic about it. Its true a lot of people on the left don't know Rush first hand or don't have the guts to listen to him which puts them in category of uh, "learning disabled" as far as I'm concerned. I'll listen to Rush or rather, I go on his website a lot and read transcripts. I don't really have the time for talk radio, its not my thing ... its not for a lot of people. I get my news from the net. But certain liberals are definitely scared of Rush and that really is kind of funny. He's intimidated them and to a large extent a lot of them deserve it.
But to say he is 100% factual is a misrepresentation. Hyperbole can't be measured in terms of accuracy. Rush is the #1 master of character assasination in this country. He rarely gets around to dismantling his adversaries actual arguments because he's too busy attacking them personally. Now ... with a lot of the issues based around fiscal policy, I'm with him to an extent.
But when we get over to the social conservative issues. I'll tread lightly here but to say he approaches 'derelict' status is not too far off. If Rush himself were to go into the third person and speak - based on his trademark candor - he'd EASILY go there on describing himself. The man lives in a 24,000 sq/ft house and the only (non-payrolled) companionship he has is apparently ... a cat. That's fact, look it up. So Rush has very little leeway lecturing me on social issues.
When Bill Clinton became president and Rush exploded, every single aspiration that the so-called first baby-boomer president might have had went down the toilet. Clinton ended up governing largely as a moderate and his single biggest achievement may have been welfare reform. Part of that goes to changing times but I'll give a fair amount of credit to Rush too.
But it should tell you something that this year there wasn't a single credible Republican candidate that Rush was happy with. Not even one. He's holding his nose even looking at McCain. I'm chalking that up to the "pendulum"
And if you're looking at me and thinking I probably just fit Rush's description of a "typical leftist" then you have NO idea who I am. You're just taking Rush's word for it. And that's sad.
The interesting thing about this post is that those that follow rush think whatever he says is truth and those that think for themselves think that the guy is an idiot.
Trey, key on fact vs opinion.
While you can agree or disagree with opinion, fact is undeniable.
As much as I love this country and it's people, I still believe that one day we will throw all of these idiots out on thier [sic] tails and get back to what made this country what it was. A place where all people were FREE to express thier [sic] opinions and live as truly free people.
Ya mean like this one of yours...
"That of the oil companies? That of the "suck the planet dry of resources" lunitics? [csic] That of the "give it to me so I can get it all now" idiots? That of the "rape everything so I can have my cheap resources to feed my 10 kids"
Where you slander capitalism and even go as low as parotting the common liberal spew of hatred against big families.
Sure this is all your opinion and without question, it is 100% in alignment with the fringe left. You have every right to present it as I have every total right to call you on it.
If we keep on the present path, this great experiment that created this country and the ideas that the founders sought will be lost in history.
Ah... So, I am thinking that you want to be able to spew your rhetoric and never be challenged? Correct me if I am wrong?
Or don't and continue to live in hatred and fear.
I am having a family of 8 over this afternoon for BBQ, among others. I'll remember your intolerance and how you hate them.

Trey, I don't get you at all? First you do the typical liberal attack by calling anyone who listens (not follows) to Limbaugh stupid then you say he lies, when the truth is you just disagree with what he says. Then you talk about being free to express opinions. You seem to be all for free speech but only for people who agree with you? You seem to be the one living in hatred and fear.

I read it correctly the first time. By using the word follow you imply that people who listen are followers and not able to make decisions on their own. I googled Limbaugh lies and the #1 result is an anonymous blog filled with anecdotal evidence passed off as fact:
1.) Rush says that "The Sierra Club wants to limit the number of kids you can have to two" and that "They are into power and controlling peoples lives."
I've been a member of the Sierra club for several years and I was very surprised to learn this information about limiting the number of children you can have. Every month I read the Sierra magazine from cover to cover and I have never seen any article or editorial that endorsed the idea of limiting the number of children people can have.
There you go, it must be a lie. (sarcasm) Why not just say you disagree with his opinions? Can liberals debate anything without calling someone a liar? Let's see, Is Obama a puppet of the Democrat party? Does he have Nancy Pelosi's fist up his ahole? Is he a douche who only tells lies? I don't like Obama because he is 180 degrees opposed to my views. I can point out many of his gaffs and incorect statements. Do I call him a douche, no because I would rather stick to the facts instead of resorting to name calling. Some of you need to grow up. If you are so sure of your positions then articulate them in an intelligent way and you might convince me.

I dont need any politician to offer me hope, it has always been one of the inalienable rights that America has bequeathed on its citizens. That is why nearly everyone in the world wants to be here. Dont travel abroad and ask what other nations think of the U.S. as someone said in another thread, simply ask an immigrant. I have and ther is no place they would rather be. They hail from places that you hear about on the news such as Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, Africa (yes Africa!!!) all corners, South America on and on!
I dont understand the self loathing and the total hoplessness that some of our youth have. It is not a reflection on anything other than the spoiled nature and the laziness that will ultimately bring down the nation.

Then you read too much into it. I listen to him sometimes, but I don't follow him in the sense as believe what he says. I was making the point that those that blindly agree to him are not able to make thier own decisions. They are the same as the people that believe what Al Gore says is truth or any of the other extreme says.
Why not just say you disagree with his opinions?
I thought I did.
Can liberals debate anything without calling someone a liar?
Why is it that anyone that disagrees with the right wing fanitics is a liberal?
Let's see, Is Obama a puppet of the Democrat party? Does he have Nancy Pelosi's fist up his ahole? Is he a douche who only tells lies? I don't like Obama because he is 180 degrees opposed to my views. I can point out many of his gaffs and incorect statements.

AHH.. You just did..what is your point?
If you are so sure of your positions then articulate them in an intelligent way and you might convince me.
Ok, simply put ALL of American politics is corrupt and frankly just getting worse. Bush and Co. have been the pinnacle of corruption. I don't personally see it getting better with either candidate. The system is broken and without a major overhaul it is going to get worse.
Nobody in politics cares about thier true job as stated in the constitution. All they care about is power and getting re-elected. A sad state of affaires if you ask me.
What I find interesting is that you and a few others think that if we all don't follow lock step with the right wing we are somehow "lefties", that has been the most laughable thing I have ever read. Guess who I voted for last election? Pat Buchanan, surprise!! As much as I don't like his religious views he does believe in smaller government and the constitution. Yep, I am a left wing radical.....HAHAHHAHHHA!!! You guys crack me up!!

I grew up the same as you.Mom was divorced with 5 kids.I went to college 1 semester and figured I was smart enough....I started my own small business at 20 yrs. old and have done all right.My toughest years were the Carter years.18-21% interest rates on loans were back breaking.I am afraid of Obama in a way the Carter years might look like the good old days.If the US govt. would just sit on their butt and do absolutely nothing this country can prosper like no other.My second worst time in business was the Clinton years.Paying 80 grand a year in taxes took the fun out of working for myself.Bushes tax cuts have allowed me to upgrade eqipment,expand employee wise and feel better about the hard work and stress that goes with running a business.Now we have a guy in RL THAT INFORMS US RIGHT SIDE ECONOMY BELEIVERS and we have the left wing politicians engaging in class warfare.Blah blah the rich this and the rich that.Well you get rich by working.Not by Obama promising change.My ass.Sheaco is typical of the left, call names and damn the facts.Long live Rush Limbaugh,hes the best thing to happen to this country in a long time.

I read it correctly the first time. By using the word follow you imply that people who listen are followers and not able to make decisions on their own.
I was making the point that those that blindly agree to him are not able to make thier own decisions.
That's what I said :confused:

Do I call him a douche, no because I would rather stick to the facts instead of resorting to name calling.
AHH.. You just did..what is your point?
I just did what? It was a rhetorical question using the statements of Sheaco.

If you are so sure of your positions then articulate them in an intelligent way and you might convince me.
Ok, simply put ALL of American politics is corrupt and frankly just getting worse. Bush and Co. have been the pinnacle of corruption. I don't personally see it getting better with either candidate. The system is broken and without a major overhaul it is going to get worse.
Nobody in politics cares about thier true job as stated in the constitution. All they care about is power and getting re-elected. A sad state of affaires if you ask me.
What I find interesting is that you and a few others think that if we all don't follow lock step with the right wing we are somehow "lefties", that has been the most laughable thing I have ever read. Guess who I voted for last election? Pat Buchanan, surprise!! As much as I don't like his religious views he does believe in smaller government and the constitution. Yep, I am a left wing radical.....HAHAHHAHHHA!!! You guys crack me up!!
I'm with you until the lock step (Nazi?) comment. I don't think Bush is half as corrupt as the left wing makes him out to be. Most of the left wing propaganda about Bush is pure bs. Alot of your statements are full of the rhetoric used by the left. I can only draw the conclusion that you are a liberal when you repeat left wing rhetoric. I agree with you about our politicians but what does that have to do with Rush Limbaugh, he is a broadcaster?

I'll tell you where Rush is going to end up causing you problems. You guys tend to parrot the word "left" like its some monolithic thing. I think its because Rush has convinced you that the 15% looney, extreme left represents the entire 50% of the country that just tends to lean Democratic. There's a whole 35% segment there that you are severely underestimating ... and you're doing it at your own peril.
Let's take recently deceased Tim Russert over at NBC. Now at the end of the day he may have been leaning toward Obama, but if any of you guys are lumping him in with Michael Moore, then you are just flat out delusional. He was respected across the board for his balance and evenhandedness. If anything, he was one of those members of the media who was accused (by the looney left) of NOT standing up to the administration on Iraq. Or MAYBE, he just followed his gut (like so many others, like me for example) and just backed off and let us do what we needed to do there.
Now Rush of course would never give him credit for that because it doesn't fit his script, but what I just said is fact ... you can challenge me if you like.
Now lets talk Obama. PJC thinks its funny to brand him as a commie socialist ... and it may be funny, but its also delusional. Now that he's won the primary, Obama is galloping, GALLOPING toward the center. The looney left over at the Huff Post are all sorts of moist and hysterical about it too. (you should check it out, its funny)
Thing is, because of Rush, (I'm guessing) a lot of you don't realize that 60s & 70s commie style socialism is dead. If you're going to accuse Democrats of anything, accuse them of being excessively poll-driven. Read this Carefully: ***Americans have been asked if they would support a return to 60s & 70s style liberal big-government. And the answer has been an emphatic: NO!!! Trust me that Democrats have gotten the memo on this.***
So you can keep playing your reindeer games with Rush and marginalizing the 35% of sensible but yet progressively-minded voters (like me) if you want, but I'll tell you what ... There's another 35% over on the right side of the aisle that aren't full-throttle, bonafide, Rush-worshipping wingnuts ... and our boy Obama is making eyes at them.
You keep on casually denigrating Obama's game ... I'm not particularly religious myself, but HIS faith is looking to be sincere and heartfelt from where I'm standing. And he's out there talking to pastors in language they can understand. He's getting ready to ask some your people to the dance!!! And I'm starting to get the feeling, he's gonna end taking them a lot further than that.
So if you like politics, if you like the jousting and the verbal warfare, then hey, me too. I love it!! But think clearly about where you're laying your chips and remember: the landscape is always shifting. Don't be delusional.
I flat-out guarantee you, the RNC is not basing their analysis of this election on Rush's tired-*ss script. They'd be idiots otherwise.
Why is it that anyone that disagrees with the right wing fanitics [sic] is a liberal?
In your case the regurgitation of rants straight from the Daily Kos is the telling story.
What I find interesting is that you and a few others think that if we all don't follow lock step with the right wing we are somehow "lefties".
See above. Should I quote you?
Really it's not about forcing our opinions on you but, it is about providing accurate, meaningful information in an effort to convince you that we are right.
I really don't know what Obama will bring to This Country. He has brought one thing to this Race......Hope.

When you look at the media in general, academia, the courts and governmental agencies it sure looks monolithic to me. That right there makes up more than 15%. I agree there are plenty of god fearing Democrats who support the war and love their country but they are not voting for Obama. To say that Rush would never give Tim Russert credit is ludicrous as Rush had him on his show to plug his book so your example is not valid. If you were a listener you would know that. You probably, like so many others, have judged Rush on what you read at the Huffington post instead of actually listening to him.
I don't really care what Obama is going to say or do to get elected. You say 60's style commie socialism is dead however that is what Obama is. He is 100% throwback, black panther, Jimmy Carter commie socialist. If you can't see this you are blind my friend. It doesn't matter if he gets elected by the 35% of reasonable Democrats, He will govern at the extreme left. Just listen to what he says. He has stated many times he will raise taxes to punitive levels, become isolationist, punish business, empower environmentalists, increase government regulations, curtail free speech and on and on. I'm sorry but I see lots of change but very little hope for anyone. So please tell me what hope you think he gives?

Back a couple of months ago when pjc was posting thread after thread on Obama's vagueness, there was nothing to say, he was totally right.

Obama flips back and fourth with what he says. His message of change has little substance to it. He acts like he is some rogue politician with all new ideas when he is not. He simply caters to whatever audience is in front of him at the time. He is a junior politician at best and he wants to tax you and I into the poor house.

There is a huge difference between labeling someone a liberal because they happen to hold many liberal positions and calling someone a liar simply because you disagree with them. I would hope you see the difference.
Ok, simply put ALL of American politics is corrupt and frankly just getting worse. Bush and Co. have been the pinnacle of corruption.
And why is it that George W. Bush stands out? I think there are much better examples of corrupt politicians than the current president. Just because you dislike the man or his policies, doesn't necessarily mean his administration is corrupt.
What I find interesting is that you and a few others think that if we all don't follow lock step with the right wing we are somehow "lefties", that has been the most laughable thing I have ever read.

Yep, I am a left wing radical.....HAHAHHAHHHA!!! You guys crack me up!!
You've been labeled a liberal because you've shared many positions with those on the left. You complain about being labeled a liberal while you label us "right-wingers" for supposedly following in lock step with the party. The two actions are essentially the same. It's been obvious that you and I have several core values in common, such as limited government, but we also differ on many issues.

Fooling people into thinking you're a centrist when you're not only ends divisiveness in the short run. I'm definitely not claiming Senator Obama is the only politician to do this.

That's mature.
And how can you support anyone who thinks Michael J. Fox is faking his Parkinsons.
Did you actually hear him say that? I've heard plenty of accusations about conservative talk show hosts and most of them have turned out to be completely false. I'm almost positive I've heard this particular myth debunked.
Rush Limbaugh on Michael J. Fox (http://moneyrunner.blogspot.com/2006/10/rush-limbaugh-on-micheal-j-fox.html)
http://moneyrunner.blogspot.com/2006/10/rush-limbaugh-on-micheal-j-fox.html
I have had the opportunity to listen to Rush Limbaugh (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html)in the last few days because I have spent a lot of time in my car. Rush has received major coverage in the press, and on radio as a result of his attack on the Michael J. Fox ad for several Democrats during this election season.
Most of the press reaction has been feigned outrage at Rush. How dare he criticize this poor cripple? Like the 9/11 widows and Cindy Sheehan, Michael J. Fox is more infallible than the Pope and CANNOT be attacked.
I thought he handled the issue well in his broadcast. The issue is this: is the Fox ad truthful both in its facts and in the depiction of the disease that Fox has.
The first question has not been addressed by any of the media criticizing Limbaugh, and he spent considerable time demonstrating the Fox ad in not truthful. My research into the benefits of stem cell research comes up with lots of hype for embryonic stem cell research and its assumed benefits, but virtually no (at least none that I have been able to find) actual beneficial effects. And this is not because embryonic stem cell research is illegal. It is not. It is simply not supported by government funds.
Then there is the question of whether Fox is under medicated, over medicated or simply acting for the ad. Only the people involved in making the ad know for sure. But one thing is sure, Fox and the people who made this ad wanted people to see and sympathize with Fox and wanted people to believe that only Republican candidates stood in the way of a cure for Fox. This may be politics in a political season, but it is a sick brand of politics.
But since breathing, drinking, eating, religion and sex are now part of the political process, I guess I should stifle my outrage and get used to it.
I agree with Rush in this:
"Democrats are lying to sick people about cures for what ails them. It is cruel. It is mean. It is full of false hope. It's a classic dirty ad."Click on the link to Rush Limbaugh and you can see Michael J. Fox looking "normal" and spastic. Is the difference medicine or acting? I don't know, but either way it's deception on a grand scale.
UPDATE: More from NewsBusters (http://newsbusters.org/node/8586) in the Washington Post criticism of Limbaugh:
It's sad that the Post can't focus on the factual problems in the ad. In an age when reporters routinely pick apart ads for being untruthful or misleading, this ad should be scorned in the press for making claims that are not yet scientifically accurate. Claiming conservatives oppose “life-saving” stem-cell research is, at the moment, completely unsubstantiated. Life-saving? Right now, it’s in danger of looking like the embryo-destroyer’s version of WMD intelligence. For the latest on how the “promising” research is still leading to rodent brain tumors, see the WashPost’s latest (on page A-9, not A-1) here.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/22/AR2006102200928.html)
Aside from the factual flaws, it has the sickening usual liberal flaw of leading with the Unmockable Victim, and thinking the facts don’t matter, especially with those emotional chicks. (Oh, the liberal consultant smirks are everywhere, no doubt.) But blaming Bush or Steele or Talent for Parkinson’s disease is akin to John Edwards claiming in October 2004 that Christopher Reeve would walk again “when John Kerry is president.” This ad is shameless, uncivil, unproven, and a very personal attack.
Michael J. Fox is, after all this victimization politics, out as America's Sweetheart, and in with all the arrogant liberal partisans who think with a quasi-religious zeal that they are on the side of Science, against those backwards Religion folks. This is, in a political sense, Michael J. Fox's Tom-Cruise-Scientology moment. He is following the L. Ron. Hubbards of stem-cell science fiction.

We all know he isn't. But wasn't this supposed to separate him from the rest of the traditional politicians?
Like I said, I'm still hedging my bets at this point. But a couple of months ago, pjc was talking all sorts of smack about Obama because the only thing that had come out of his mouth were those 2 freakin words. I wish at the time I'd written what I was thinking down because I'd look really cool right now. Basically, in my head I predicted what BO has been doing here recently.
The thing is, I don't really expect too many people here to follow my lead on this but, if you look at the specific adjustment he made to his stance on the FISA bill, if you look at his statement of intention to carry on with Bush's Faith-Based Initiatives, what you start to see is these aren't extreme departures from his overall background. (And here, you really do have to go back to his Illinois legislature days because obviously in the Senate he's done literally nothing)
But its not a straight flip-flop. If anything yeah, he allowed the "hope and change" schtick to seduce the far left that are so much more involved in the caucuses knowing good and well they'd be kinda p*ss*d later. Isn't that good politics though?
And even then, go to his website and read his reply to his critics on the left about the FISA thing ... I find it very evenhanded, you tell me what you think.
Listen, at this point, I just happen to be impressed with what I've seen go on in the last few days, the dude still has plenty of opportunity to weasel out and if he does, I'll come back on RDC and throw him under the bus myself. I'm a straight shooter, I hope I've demonstrated that.
Bill O'Reilly, if you happen to listen to him, you might know he holds Bobby Kennedy in very high regard and he talks about exactly why ... for me, there is a hint, that Obama might have the potential to be the same type of leader. Time will tell ...

Read my sig and get to know how significant "hope and change" is.
At least I stand for something in my hopes for change!:D

I rather have my brain to fall due to an open mind than not being able to fit a new idea due to a close mind:D

So you are saying that we are "closed minded" because we seek substance in BO's platitudes of "Hope and Change"?
More MoonBat points for you.

I have to wonder if you understand basic english. Are you from the US or should I consider you a foreign national? I am willing to help you out with the translation if you can't figure it out.

No wonder "open-minded" people are dumb. Their brains fell out!
The subject is the same..
But I'll let you clarify it for us all.
Question: Many people think that BO's "hope and change" platitudes are worthless but, you think that is a sign of a "closed mind"?

Why didn't you reply to the post of your question? You brought it up and when confronted by the reality of it deflected again. Is this your common pattern? Once again I question your honesty and tactics.
Try to stay focused on the questions and topic at hand. Maybe you will get some credibility if you can answer the topic.

OK you guys, sorry. This misunderstanding is partially my fault. At the time of my post a page or two ago, my sig said...
"I'm for 'hope and change' too. If you plan on voting for Barack Obama, I hope you change your mind" (originally posted by Pappawheely).
The term "open-minded" has somehow shifted it's definition to "liberal thinker". I will not debate that with anyone, if you fail to see how it's true, you do not have the mental capacity to engage in this conversation. No disrespect to the two people who threw up objections, Gus and Trey, as I would consider both of you my friends, but we just disagree on some fundamental beliefs. To cite an example of why "open-minded" people are more narrow-minded than I...
I used the N word the other day, in a joke, on a date. In the context I used it, it was in a joke. I did not directly call a person the N word, and I harbor no racism towards anyone of any race, skin color or religion. She told me that she (a white liberal girl) finds that word terribly offensive, and I'm shallow for even uttering it aloud. Later on the ride home in her car, Nelly was on the stereo. You know how many times Nelly uses the N word in his lyrics???
She told me it was OK because he's black. I called Bul**hit on that, that's a double standard!!!! Nothing short of RACISM at it's finest. You mean to tell me I'm not allowed to do something because of the color of my skin????
She tells me I'm wrong because in todays society, if a white man uses the N word, it makes him racist. It's OK for the black man to use the term, because he's black. I tell her that she failed to see how I didn't use the term in a negative manner, and she isn't willing to see how SHE is the one who is being narrow-minded because of her own stance on the term.
Like TRUTH, you perceive things how you want.
Doesn't make me narrow-minded.
I have basic fundamental beliefs that I hold fast to, yet if I am given reasons as to why those beliefs might not be the best, I will change my mind. However, I don't flip-flop like our esteemed opponenent in the upcoming election, Mr. B. Hussein.
And to anyone who wonders why some of us use his middle name so often, how many times did you NOT hear "Rodham" when her name was said in the Democratic primary???
Sorry, I went of on a tangent.
But I WILL ADMIT (something totally foreign to liberals) that it may have been my mistake that caused the recent confusion.
However, I find humor and TRUTH in my new sig.

Ralph Nader Nips at El Rushbo's Ankles
Rush Limbaugh's generous but well-deserved new contract (http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrl.htm) isn't sitting well in the belly of communist gadfly Ralph Nader. In a petulant letter (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZWI0YWU1NDg5ZDIwZTA2MmM0NWFhZTU0MjViNjA5YWI=) to the Maha Rushie, Nader asserts that the airwaves belong to "the people" (i.e., leftist bureaucrats), and demands that El Rushbo pay rent for using them.
According to Nader, Rush is "freeloading" and "on welfare."
If only Nader had power, he could take away Rush's millions and even his Golden EIB Microphone. He could force him to march with his Dittoheads, in sackcloth and shackles, to reeducation camps from which only a handful would ever reemerge. This is how it works wherever Nader's ideology has been imposed, why should America be different?
Such a magnificent dream, isn't it Ralph? So stop writing childish letters and get to work peeling votes from Obama!

RUSH: The bank in California is IndyMac, and it failed. By the way, they're talking about 150 banks may fail, blah, blah, all of this negative news, all of this, "Oh, my God, it's going to hell in a handbasket!" Don't forget, we had a thousand S&Ls fail back in the eighties. This is not new territory, my friends. We're not in any new virgin territory here. This has all happened. But there is a problem here, and that is an overactive government. You know what? I'm going to tell you something. These Republicans, these quasi-conservatives in the media, these elitists, these smarter-than-everybody-else-in-the-room people -- the ones that have been encouraging an active, engaged government; the guys that think we ought to take a lesson from the New Deal as Republicans, as conservatives in order to win elections, to appeal to a certain voter mind-set; these Rockefeller Republican guys -- and these people who want to abandon genuine conservatism ought to be very happy 'cause they're getting exactly what they want.
They're getting an active government involved in goofing it up, messing it up, having to bail things out because they're not run right in the first place, and the bailouts don't work because that flies against the face of market economics. They're just delaying the solution to a problem down the road. People who may not have even been born yet are going to have to pay for it. It's just irresponsible what's going on, and so is Chuck Schumer. Charles "Chuck-U" Schumer. In the IndyMac failure in California, "federal regulators pointedly cited US Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, in explaining the bank's failure. In simple language, federal regulators blamed [Charles Chuck-U] Schumer for a run on the bank. Here's from the press release issued by IndyMac's regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision: 'The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS and the FDIC from Senator Charles [Chuck-U] Schumer of New York. The letter expressed concerns about IndyMac's viability. In the following 11 business days, depositors withdrew more than $1.3 billion from their accounts,'" all because Charles Chuck-U Schumer was following the game plan of the Democrat Party and the American left today in trying to convince the American people their country isn't worth a sack.
They have gone overboard in trying to convince the people of this country that this country is in a constant, permanent state of decline, that it isn't worth anything -- and that furthermore, we deserve to be in this constant state of decline because our power, our superpower status, our riches, our prosperity, as you know, have stolen so much from the rest of the world. These people will do anything to get power, and Schumer personifies what is happening. This is just irresponsible, purely politically irresponsible. Political malpractice. And he's out there defending himself on this. "Those depositors, they needed to be warned." Uh-oh, I just noticed a notice from Mark Hasara. Maybe I can't use the data... Oh, it's not about that. Never mind, Mark. Everything is cool. (chuckles) He's the guy that flew the tankers, and he just sends me a note here, and I thought, "Oh, gosh," maybe I was about to divulge classified information here. But that's not what it is. Phil Gramm did not start a bank run. Phil Gramm did not start a bank run! Charles Chuck-U Schumer did, and he's probably happy about it, as is Barney Frank.
