May 12, 200917 yr I have seen more Rush Limbaugh since Obama has been elected than I had seen the previous decade. If people do not want to know what he has to say (remember, he is a radio personality), do not tune in. His message has never waivered. However, he has been catapulted by the media and the Obama administration as the head of the Republican party. It really is a smart strategy if you want to marginalize the GOP. If it is indeed a "strategy", it could very well backfire. My point being that I believe a BUNCH of "conservatives" set the last election out.
May 12, 200917 yr I'm not talking about call-in to his show... The left even refuses formal debate on their terms... I guarantee Rush would debate anyone on the left, even if he could only respond with four word answers. I also guarantee there would be no takers from the left...On any terms.
May 12, 200917 yr Author I'm not talking about call-in to his show... The left even refuses formal debate on their terms... Again, not just Rush, but why would anyone assume that he could properly "debate"? He's not interested in hearing the "other side". He's more interested in shouting down the "other side". And, for the second time in this response, he's not the only one. These types of people are not interested in honest discourse. They make their money by creating controversy.
May 12, 200917 yr Again... Rush will debate with them on THEIR terms and questions.. Again.. We hear the "other side" every day... When Rush presents the truth on the stuff we hear from our "trusted news outlets" is when the left goes nuts.. Again.. For the second time in this response,why is the left afraid of HONEST DISCLOSURE?????

And, although I have been VERY clear that I do not hold Rush as the ONLY person guilty of not being interested in the other side, what makes you so combative toward my responses? NEITHER side is interested in HONEST DISCLOSURE. Rush is not exclusive in this. And HONEST DISCLOSURE doesn't mean that ONLY Rush is right, or THE "LEFT" is right. The truth is both sides are right to some degree, but the extremes are WRONG.

My point being that I believe a BUNCH of "conservatives" set the last election out.[/QUOTE] And my point to your point is: shame on those "conservatives" if they indeed did sit out the last election. They will be just as responsible for what happens as those that voted for Obama.

In my mind the conservatives who didn't set the election out largely voted for the wrong candidate, starting during the primaries.
May 12, 200917 yr I guarantee Rush would debate anyone on the left, even if he could only respond with four word answers. I also guarantee there would be no takers from the left...On any terms.What would anyone gain by debating with that idiot? He is a pompous jerk who says things mainly to get a rise or more love from his devoted base. I feel he adds nothing but comedy. I listen very sparingly for comedic purposes only.
May 12, 200917 yr Rush Limbaugh was later seen growing in size and turning green. Yep, to the tune of about $400 million. Unbelievable how much he and Howard Stern make.

The truth is both sides are right to some degree, but the extremes are WRONG.Not trying to be combative.. I just stated several times that Rush would debate fair and gentlemanly. Not who's side is right or wrong...Just a debate on the facts. Nothing more nothing less.... Ask each person the same question and YOU decide on who gives the most factual and true response... It's really quite simple..

Nothing more nothing less.... Ask each person the same question and YOU decide on who gives the most factual and true response... It's really quite simple.. What gives you the impression he would 1) debate, 2) debate fairly [ie give the opposition a chance to respond] 3) be gentlemanly?
May 12, 200917 yr What gives you the impression he would 1) debate, 2) debate fairly [ie give the opposition a chance to respond] 3) be gentlemanly? Because there are rules that go along with proper debate, along with a moderator to make it fair for both sides... Rush is more than willing.. His detractors are not..
May 13, 200917 yr Author Because there are rules that go along with proper debate, along with a moderator to make it fair for both sides... Rush is more than willing.. His detractors are not.. What makes you feel he's more than willing? What has he displayed that indicates he is? What makes you so certain that his potential opposition (not detractors, because that's something totally different) are not?
May 13, 200917 yr What makes you feel he's more than willing? What has he displayed that indicates he is? What makes you so certain that his potential opposition (not detractors, because that's something totally different) are not? Simple... I listen to his show.
