Opinion on Russ Limbaugh

[TwoTonTony]

i am a conservative and i do not like rush...i think he does not look at things objectively...that being said i feel the same way about bill maher....he just brings people in who pile on republicans while the lone conservative gets hammered by the panel and him......he is a scumbag too......

I have voted republican every election and i am not pleased with bush.....he may have balls....he may just be ill advised and not well thought out.....i for one do not trust him at all.....and have lost faith in him....i never supported iraq.....i do now until the job is done... i am not into leaving a job unfinished, but how this job is considered finished is anybodys guess....

i fully support afghanistan......i have always supported our military

i support the ideals of the republican party and being conservative, but i believe bush is out of touch and thinks he is the hand of God...JMHO.....

STOP BITCHING!!! Offer solutions.

OK! All you left wing liberals. We ARE in Iraq. Wrong or Right. What's your solution about getting out of Iraq? Enough with the bitching that we should be there in the first place. Guess what? Your SPINELESS liberal politician voted their approval about going to war vs. Iraq.

OFFER SOLUTIONS.

Here is a solution: Reinstate the draft and put more troops on the ground. Allow no draft deferments or exceptions for any healthy person that can serve. That includes the children of the wealthy that benefit from Bush's tax cuts. In other words, those that want to have the war but don't want to pay for it or send themselves or their children off to fight.

Clinton had many opportunities to take out Bin Laden.

LOL! Why is it that Republicans blame everything on Bill Clinton? Its been five years. If the White Sox and Red Sox could be fixed in that time, I really think the Republicans could have fixed anything that Slick Willy did when he was in office. Clinton was not even that liberal. He and the Republican Congress did a great job reforming welfare. For the last three years, I swear the Republican vocabulary only consists of about three words: Bill, Clinton, and 9/11. The Republicans have the power so TIME TO SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT!!!

The "good" economic times under Clinton was not caused by the Dot com boom. A lot of the wealth generated was due to the TAX INCREASE brought in by BUSH I. It allowed capital to be invested into business instead of balancing larger increrasing deficits. This is what allowed the dotcom boom and a lot of other things to occur

If you look at the current fiscal deficit and the current trade deficit you see one thing. The future of the USA has been mortgaged and if you look at the foreign reserves of US $$ and of US bonds the mortgage holder is China. When they call the mortgage it will not be a pretty sight.

Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility but it is onlt TALK. In some trading rooms around the world the US dollar is already referred to as the Gringo peso

All this is hilarious but I do have a question- this thread was started about Limbaugh and there have been alot of comments about his pill addiction, etc. What board is this? Oh, that's right, a "gambling" board. Addiction comes in many forms. Be careful left wingers, you may not be as far from Rush (not Russ) as you think!

Sooner or later, bigger and bigger government always fails, no matter who is running it.

Like him or not, Rush has one very valuable asset. He's the watchdog over the liberal media. IF you don't believe there is a liberal bias in the mainstream media you're in total denial. I feel sorry for all the people that have been spoon fed their news from Dan "forged document" Rather for so many years

Watchdog? How can he be a watchdog when he does not even hide his bias? Rush Limbaugh does two things: support the neo-conservative movement and make himself rich. I really don't think he has ever let the truth get in his way.

Believe me Russ as opposed to Rush was a typo; as much as I can't stand this man's views, I have listened to the "I am always right" Mr. Arrogance and King of Bigotry for many years and do know quite well his name.

Disagree with him all you want, but you already stated that in your opinion, Maher tells "the truth." That is YOUR opinion! I see him as every bit as biased as you see Rush. But you keep spouting Maher as some paragon of truth like you have some insight none of us have. It's only your opinion, not necessarily the truth. We respectfully disagree. and that's on EVERYTHING- I believe it is freedom, personal responsibility, and the individual who makes America great. You subscribe to a belief that Government provides the answer to problems. If you want the so called truth, you will look back at history and realize that Government was never the answer. We were never intended to be a Democracy. We were set up as a REPUBLIC. There is a huge difference. One more thing, before you put forth your holier than thou spin, take into account the Ted Kennedys, John Kerrys, Bill Clintons, John Edwards of your party and step back before you attack. If you need an explanation as to why I name them, you are not being honest in your beliefs.

Please elect anyone who even "PRETENDS" to be a Republican or Conservative in '06. Socialism is not the answer.

Nobody ever said that socialism was the answer. Please wake up and see what is going on today. Bill Clinton's administration CUT welfare programs with the help from a Republican Congress. The Republican's today spend, spend, and spend more. They are not nearly as concerned with cutting government spending as they are with patronizing the religious right.

It always makes me laugh when I hear that dems will raise taxes and increase spending. Maybe for the ultra-rich, but if you don't have several hundred thousand in income or millions in assets you don't have much to worry about with them. You might even benefit in the form of a government insured student loan or something of that nature. By the way, do you really think that John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, or the Kennedys like to pay taxes more than you? I doubt it.

Socialism is not the answer;who said it was?
On the other hand, is the answer a president and administration which caters to the rich,a president who has no sense of history or intellect, one who has badly miscalculated the resources needed to complete an ill advised war, which has resulted in thousands of needless deaths;is the answer a president who has little concern for the enviornment and who has made this country lose much respect in the world in the eyes other countries?
Is the answer a president whose administration thrives on secrecy, duplicity and scandals?
Compare the importance of Clinton's lying about his sexual trysts with Monica with what Cheney and his boys did in exposing and jeopardizing this country with the CIA Agent.
People don't want to watch folks like Bill Maher or read books like Worse Than Watergate by John Dean because they don't want to see/hear something which might open their eyes!

ps Even though this is a very small sample size, I noted some interesting comments on this thread and the other one about people who voted for Bush being somewhat disappointed.
Judging by his fast sinking approval poll ratings, it appears that there a number of folks nationwide who feel the same way.
Sure we live in difficult times with 9/11, Osama bin Laden, Iraq, hurricanes, high gas prices, etc.
In addition, it is obvious that no one person can be expected to have instant solutions for everything;that is why a president has a cabinet and a team of advisors.
However, when I look at where we are right now all things considered, I have a sense that we are not even close to where we should be, and for me, that in itself (without mentioning what I perceive to be the sometimes the questionable motivations of this administration) is enough to say that this administration is not and will not be regarded as a very successful one unless things dramatically change during the tenure of his presidency.

[te14]

This could go on for days. Two words I knew would come sooner or later, "ultra rich." Predictable and not even worth debating. We will disagree forever but don't forget yourbeliefs: From each according to his means, to each according to his needs. You may here disappoinment here concerning Bush from some Republicans, but it's only that he isn't governing Conservatively enough. It is not a parting of the Conservative philosophy itself. And if you think that's wrong, look at the recent Congressional elections all over the country- the USA is alot more conservative than you will admit.

[savage1]

Te14-Lets see how the next elections this year turn out as a start to see if there is some dissent.
I agree that this debate will go nowhere;suffice it to say that I am glad I live In Massachusetts as opposed to some other states in the country.
