As the de facto voice of the Republican Party, Limbaugh has made it clear the U.S. government must bend to the will of the ultra right. Nothing else will do. This, coupled with the Republicans’ “no tax” pledge to Grover Norquist, has handcuffed the GOP, forbidding compromise with the Democrats. This Republican caused Congressional gridlock has hurt most average Americans, and shows no sign of ending. Everyday, Rush keeps slamming his “take no prisoners” message home to his ultra-right wing audience. Proclaiming that the U.S. must become a conservative only nation, with laws dictated by the ultra-right. But the percentage of the American public that wants to live under such oppressive rule is shrinking by the day. Like all conservatives and neoconservatives, Limbaugh places the blame for all of the United States’ problems on the Democrats and liberals, and his listeners happily agree. They, just like good old Rush, have conveniently forgotten it was Dubya, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and several others in that corrupt administration, along with a Republican controlled Congress that wasted trillions of borrowed dollars on useless wars. They needed to borrow the money to make war because they cut taxes when revenue was most needed. That administration’s partnership with Wall Street and Big Banking let those industries run amok, which led to the Great Republican Recession of 2008. When Obama was first elected, he faced the G“NO”P, their “no compromise” agenda to make him fail has kept the U.S. economy stalled. During this time, the unemployment rate has diminished little, while prices have gone up. Still the ignorant leaders of the right, and their non-thinking followers, choose to place all blame on Obama and the Democrats, denying the effects of their own destructive actions of the past thirty years years. The current threat of Cumulus Media dumping their bread and butter liars Limbaugh and Hannity is slim, so Rush will continue to fill the airwaves with his hate and intolerance. His daily blather will validate his listeners’ belief this same hate and intolerance within them is part of their many conservative/neoconservative virtues. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...eren-republican-party-new-base_n_3681923.html
Millions of Rush's listeners are people who would benefit from DEMOCRATIC policies but are getting punked by Rush and friends into voting Republican. This is the real ELECTION FRAUD!
Punked indeed, and the people laughing hardest at the right-wingers are the one percent. The very same folks the conservatives and neoconservatives worship and loyally protect.
Gotta give you credit bluboy you and Jeff seem daily to set new records for uninformed leftist talking points held as opinions. The funniest thing is half the time they are mutually contradictory and you haven't begun t figure it out.
When right-wingers like yourself consider my posts to be uninformed leftist talking points, I know they have accepted it as a truth they want to deny but cannot.
... Uh, no, John McCain, Boehner and the other establishment types are the voice right now. This gridlock is WHY we have one of the smallest deficits in years. If we want to see a surplus again in our lifetimes, this is likely the only way it will happen, seeing as how both sides have sacrosanct spending. ... I don't see how "limited Government" can be oppressive, it's kind of the antithesis of it actually. The Wars were only 4% of the budget costing a trillion only after a decade long period. The biggest budget items are the rest of the DoD, Medicare/Medicaid, and Social Security. And no balance budget can occur without cuts to all three. The current administration also has partnerships with Wall Street and big banking, who are you kidding? Do you honestly want to know who Obama's biggest donators were? Because I'll tell you if you're really in that much need of a reality check.
Your responses prove you are deeply entrenched in that alternative reality of the ultra-right. More validation for my OP.
No, the real election fraud is when in a two party system, you ultimately can't tell the difference between the two parties, although they talk a good game of opposing each other. - - - Updated - - - In other words, you have no valid information to counter his post.
The topic of this thread is the Svengali-like hold Limbaugh has over the right-wingers. I have wandered with your neoconservative brethren already and need not find the many web sites that are reliable, documented sources that disprove the typical right wing flights of fantasy contained in the conservatives' and neoconservatives’ responses. If your contradictions of my opinions have merit, it is up to you to cite the reliable (and I cannot stress “reliable” strongly enough) that prove my opinion wrong. The link included in my OP supports my opinion as does the history of the ease with which Limbaugh controls the thoughts of right-wingers across this nation, and strikes fear in the elected officials of the Republican Party.
Obama's donors, here you go. They intentionally give to both sides so that they have a voice no matter who wins, but they gave more to Obama, because they felt he would be the winner. And Obama has helped them. He certainly didn't even try to cut off TARP to them, and Dodd–Frank has served to strengthen their market shares. F*ck, we had the recent BOOM in the market, because Obama signaled to Bernanke in the Federal Reserve that he wanted him to buy up their debt. If you can't acknowledge reality, that Obama is just as cronyist as anyone you want to accuse on the right, you're the one entrenched. I personally spare neither party, you're just a partisan.
Well, I agree with Rush on some things and disagree with him on other things. I have been listening to him since '92 when I first started following politics. I used to agree with him on just about everything. Since I have leaned much more to the Old Right, I now disagree with Rush on things such as his blind loyalty to the GOP, among other things. If you have a problem with neocons, you and I may agree on more than we disagree. I was once more of a neoconservative/social conservative, but now have an Old Right libertarian philosophy on many things, although I have conservative values. As far as Rush's influence on the GOP, I do recall Michael Steele's criticism of Rush resulting in heavy backlash on Steele, while Rush was listed as the leader of Repubicans or most influencial Republican. If this is the type of thing you are referring to, I see what you are saying. Rush, though, refuses to address some issues in which the Republicans are at fault. Sometimes he is critical, but not enough. He also will back the Republican nominee unconditionally. It would be interesting to see what would happen if he made more noise in demanding the Republicans stand for smaller government and will no longer have his support, even in a general election, if they refuse to act in accordance with small government principles.
Too much of any one thing is bad. Too many Dems = Bad, Too many Cons = Bad. They need to balance each other out, but the problem with the Cons is that they've moved so far right that balance is becoming impossible.
Yeah yeah joe you just keep believing the crap the left wants you to believe. Saves them the trouble of actually having to compromise with anyone. The conservatives haven't moved in 30 odd years the left however has falen off the elft hand side of the universe and yet somehow it is conservatives who have gotten to extreme. The sequester was supposed to kill middle america according to bluboy and Jeff unfortunately for their political masters not only has it not hurt the middle class, unless, like them, you define the middle class as strictly people who work for the government, is beginning to recover. Job creation is on the rise a good bit of which probably has to do with the delay on the start up of the funding mechanism for Obama care.
And on top of all that, we have to deal with more radicalism from the Tea Party and Ted Cruz to shut the government down if they implement Obamacare. - - - Updated - - - It's hate cult politics at its finest.
I realized what you say above about 10 years ago. That is one major reason I know that voting for Republicans and radical/extreme Conservatives right now, is a very bad idea.
He had no other choice. If he had, he would have already debunked the information you provided. They rant, accuse, call people liars, and never back it up with reliable counter arguments. THEY ARE SO PITIFUL. And that is why they lost the election. Rants and accusations will never be a winning formula. It has to be backed up with something.
I already demonstrated your inconsistencies in another thread and I just referenced it in my last post. But you won't get it you never do.
