Democrats Launch Petition against Rush Limbaugh

ive never heard of him being a draft dodger and i think you are providing false information

Well then, you need to do a little research. Took me all of 30 seconds to get this page from snopes.


www.snopes.com...

Rush Limbaugh being a draft dodger??? I was not aware that Rush Limibaugh was running for public office. Is he??

This sounds like desperation on the part of someone politically minded as if Rush was running for pubic office. It sounds just plain hard up as does the current President mentioning his name as if Rush was a threat to the political party apparatus.

Remember...Moveon.org owns the democratic party. Not Rush Limbaugh.

Talk about three card monte. How easily are some of the public distracted here?? Which one is the winning card?? Good Grief.

The Dems and Reps are two sides of the same coin. Their ideology is equally totalitarian, and it is what makes a limited party system so dangerous. Neither can be trusted. Dissent was stifled as much by Bush and the Reps as it is going to be by Obama and the Dems.

I agree here. They are indeed two sides of the same coin. I have looked as deep as possible with limited informations to see who or what might be the hand in the glove running both parties for the same purposes. The conduct of both parties is obvious as it is for the parties and not the business of the American People.

I have deep suspicions about the nature of the two party system and its true purposes.

I believe the dictum or dogma was sometimes referred to as Hegelian Dialectic in the way these two parties work with the public caught in between the two in ignorance.

As to Rush in the talk show circuit..I don't look at him as a conservative per se..but a spokesman for the Republicans...one side of the dialectic. I don't think he is the only one. There are a whole host of such. They have only found a niche in the medium they use.
The worst one I dislike is this fellow Hannity. I just don't like his method.

Nonetheless..I am forced by the rhetoric to ask myself if Rush is running for a public office.
Also judging by his rhetoric I do not believe he would survive well in a military environment. To much of a mouth on him....for this kind of teamwork. To independent in thinking. He would have been busted jailed, or drummed out of the service.

Thanks,

"I resent ANYONE who thinks they know what is best for me and my family and I detest..."

I believe that was your quote. Exactly how does Rush avoid your wrath?

I also got the opportunity to hear Rush defend his "hope Obama fails" statement. If he meant only the policies the first time he said it, he sure made it clear that he meant Obama in the subsequent foot in mouth interviews.

If you want his policies to fail...you want America to fail...just so you can say your ideology is superior...what if he doesn't fail? Would that be ok with you? What if me and Jon Stewart are right about a "trickle up" doctrine rather than the old failed ways? How happy are you with our bail out money, I think $6 billion, going for Wall Street bonuses?

Speaking of history for you.....do you understand that your idea of a Conservative Republican is more historic than it exists today? Did you know that the first Federalist were actually for a strong national government and they grabbed the term "Federalist" because the term was viewed favorably by the public? One famous Anti-Federalist that was pissed that they got stuck with the "Anti-Federalist" lable said..."it should be the Rats and the anti-Rats"
Don't feel too bad because millions of Americans still think that Democrats are one thing and Republicans are another....kind of like a religion...what religion are you sir, "duh, I am a Roman Catholic." and what is the difference between Roman Catholics and other Catholics?
"...uh..duh...I don't know, I was born a Roman Catholic so whatever the other kinds of Catholics are, I am not one of them." Are you a Christian sir? "I done told you, I am Roman Catholic, I'm not one of them arab jew loving terrorist religions" Who did you vote for? "I voted for the guy that had the "R" by his name"
Republicans are suppose to be about family values, fiscal responsibility,
small government...pro-life....(sorry, pro-life before birth...after birth they have no problem with frying you, or sticking a needle in your arm)
What do you call us that are economic conservatives, and compassionate social conservatives? Those of us that vote for whomever we feel has the best chance of serving our Country the best? Independents?
....sorry my optomism and glee with Obama offends you...and that you can't lable me with whatever term Rush has given to liberals...I voted for Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama. (primary this year for Huckabee) love Ron Paul but I live in the real world.
You and Rush should be attacking the Republicans because like the Federalist of 1789, your party doesn't stand for what it once did....and you know it.

Somewhere years back the Democrats were actually conservatives. The Republicans were the liberals.

Somehow and somewhere a 180 degree turnabout has taken place to where people think it was always as it is represented today. It was not ...it has been reversed. This is also not taught in most educational systems of today.

By the way...I too like Ron Paul and his points of view. Most of the details of what Ron Paul thinks will never be heard by the bulk of Americans raised on a diet of sports and television programming. I too know that the system which is entrenched will never allow him to be a spokesman for either party. The other Congressman who held similar fiscal views was a man named Larry Mcdonald. I remember what happened to Larry Mcdonald back in 1983.
I also know people from way back in 1983 who were in those days talking about what was coming for the American people and the American dollar. Some of it is coming to pass including the solutions offered today for these problems.

When I realized that most of the talking heads including the so called conservative talking heads would not give Ron Paul the time of day ..even in past elections..I knew then what they were about. More Hegelian Dialectic. Both parties running the public around in circles.

To me Rush is a part of this dialectic.

Oh..by the way...I do indeed consider politics as done today..to be a religion. This is obvious by the very zeal evidenced by many of the participants in it. The problem for me is identifying the very nature of this religion.
