Comments on: Rush Limbaugh and the mortality of a movement http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2009/03/04/rush-limbaugh-and-the-mortality-of-a-movement/ An Atlanta blog with a little bit of opinion about a whole lot of things Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:27:15 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: SaveOurRepublic http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2009/03/04/rush-limbaugh-and-the-mortality-of-a-movement/comment-page-5/#comment-8570 SaveOurRepublic Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:57:23 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/?p=302#comment-8570 While he makes many valid points, Rush "Limblaaah" is largely a Neocon who's adherent to the Globalist agenda. I think this current "beef" between him & "RINO" Steele is a ruse meant to dupe the GOP base. The Globalist Elite's MO is to control "both sides" and then present the illusion of a (supposedly valid) "difference" between them. This is a control mechanism meant to present the facade of a "choice". To see a true (paleo)conservative, look no further than Dr.Ron Paul!

Only 28 percent say that the president's $75 billion plan is fair." And since Jay is so obsessed with polls:

It's not that I'm psychic, folks, it's just that I've been here for about a month already and it pretty much reminds me of Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. BTW if Rush is the "leader" of the Republican party, does that make Jon Stewart the leader of the Democrat party? One last thing regarding labels. First they were called communists, then they tried to call themselves socialists, then liberals, and now progressives. But it's all the same garbage no matter the label. Anyone who wants to keep it straight, just call them for what they are: Democrats.

Did you ever think calling Dr. Phil for advice or listening to Rush to get an opinion on politics makes you pretty helpless and pitiful?

This is change we can believe in? The idea to paint him as the face of the Republican Party is in actuality, genius. The act and effort spent on doing so is vile and pathetic. For the record, never read nor heard a word from Rush Limbaugh and don't want to or care to. The Age of Obama: Punish Prosperity. Demonize Achievement.

True to form with the current administration, based on what we have seen thus far. And even more true of the party in control of congress as it has gained greater control over the past 2 elections.

If it didn't sound just like this Steele and Gingry when they went and kissed his butt it might could be funny.

Since 1992, Rush Limbaugh had a mantra. "Deficits Shmeficits". Conservative as a term is meaningless.
