You dont matter. Your messiah is worried or he wouldn't spend so much time referring and debating him. I will say once again, why do the Democrats spend so much time and effort on trying to discredit Limbaugh if he is viewed as a marginalized voice? Perhaps they prefer to make Rush the story as opposed to the actual issues, kind of like most of the liberals here, yourself included.

i don't think obama or any other democrat is worried. they're watching the republicans implode and doing everything they can to facilitate the process. putting rush front and center accomplishes that.

you'd do the same thing in our position. it's just good politics.

you guys are so used to an echo chamber where the only opinions you hear are your own you actually think the majority thinks the same. that's fine with me.

i don't mind if your side thinks they've won a debate so long as my side wins the election.

The truth is that what is going on with the GOP right now is immaterial, there isnt a meaningful election for a while. As bad as the country is going and with the slippery slope being greased by your boys (and the witch), the citizens will be more willing to listen to 'radicals' like Rush. Your boy will be a rockstar only for so long. His policies are destructive, antibusiness, anti recovery and in some cases anti American. The general public is pretty stupid and very gullible but the anger will eventually turn on your side and the GOP will be back in power again. It is just the way it works. I just hope that the social agenda being put in place doesnt make recovery impossible without us becoming a European clone. In case you dont know that means LESS personal wealth for each and everyone of us. Or in other words, a far shittier country.

i'm pretty sure you can go back to 1980 and find a lot of dem's holding similar opinions about reagan. i worked on the campaign for a dem congressman in 82 and actually heard him refer to 1980 as the "high water mark" for republicans.

that taught me the value of political astrology.

as bad as it was for dem's through that long stretch of desert, they didn't have anyone with the power of rush acting as a keeper of the faith.

that's why we can both be fans of the man for very different reasons.

except i never said i was a fan. While I believe that he is correct in many of his rants and I personally believe that the Republicans should return to their roots economically, Rush spends far too much time fawning over Rush which distorts his overall message. In 1980 it is hard to believe anyone would admit to being a Dem. Though the lefties in the media would have you believe that Obama won in a landslide, the election was much closer than it was made out to be except compared to the 2000 and 2004 which were historically close. Reagan won in landslides.

Please spare me that routine. The Dems are making sure that this economy lasts a long time and THAT will eventually turn everything around just as it did to the GOP.

I've been to two local GOP meetings (yeah, I'm still registered GOP) since the election, and all that happens there is they hate on Obama and the Dems. Complete waste.

The Democratic party hasn't become a near-endangered-species-numbered group wandering in a weekend NASCAR wasteland, idiolizing a creationist and a thrice-divorced ex-oxycotin addict.

There's no room for me there, I don't even want to be associated with those whackjobs, and I've been a GOP member since I was indoctrinated in childhood

I do think Joe Walsh ran for President in 1980. We really could have gone a different way ...

Now if I do what you're doing and call the liberals a bunch of gay pride parade sodomites I'd get crucified.
