If this is still a free country, why do we want to get Rush Limbaugh off the air??? He has the biggest radio audience of anyone in radio. This goes against my freedom to listen to Rush.
He is entitled to share his opinion on radio just as Keith Oberman has the right to spew his rants. I will fight to keep the freedoms we still enjoy. One of them is to be able to listen to whomever
I choose to listen to. We may disagree with each other but should have the right to voice our opinions.

That’s covered by items 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 in my 10 point daily prayer for the President and all elected officials. http://www.intouch.org
Some see what is and ask, “why?” I imagine what never was and say, “why not?”

While we’re going that route I’m all for real campaign finance reform. Each party can spend exactly 1 million dollars on campaign advertisements within 6 months of the election. Also for every minute of positive “news” time one candidate gets his opponent gets the same. Since there’s nothing on TV worth watching this shouldn’t be a problem. Each should have to make an application to run, complete with campaign promises neatly spelled out, no legal mumbo jumbo or legalize. Something that has to be notarized and can be accessed by the “common man”. Back room deal making should be outlawed with the fine being the inability to ever run for anything including a bus, for life.

Also every time a candidate casts unfounded and untruthful aspersions they should be fined 500 dollars. Ann Coulter writes whole books that use peoples actual word to prove her point. If we can’t field candidates at least as intelligent as Ann maybe she should be running the government. This provision alone would empty war chests all over the country.

Once upon a time the call to serve one’s country as a representative was a sacrifice. Maybe it needs to be returned to that state again. If these characters weren’t making so much money and spent the majority of their time working in actual jobs maybe, just maybe their perspective would have some patina of reality.

But then again I am a cynic and pessimist so……..probably not.

#51 – Seanmahair,
I like that.
Perfectly legal and economical too; since Not spending our money would be the whole point!
Full disclosure of compaign contributions would be necessary to see where to place the blame, of course.
Too bad we can’t hire the same death-squad of lawyers who are demanding the names, addresses, and places of business of people who supported prop. 8 in California to find out who the O king is most indebted to.
Maybe rival companies would rat on each other in an attempt to direct the boycott; another savings, since they would bear the burden of investigation and leaking the news.
In the long run, any company (or foreign government) wanting to interfere in our politics would have to give equal amounts to each party or candidate to avoid the appearance of favoritism which might tend to disgruntlize their consumer base.

There is only one way to stop Liberals in their tracks. Turn off the money. We could stage a taxpayer revolt or find out who corporations support and then refuse to buy from them. Since I personally don’t want to go to jail I think the second idea is better.

GE is a perfect example. They have been on the O’vomit train for quite some time, wonder why? Could it be that since they have quite the stake in Wind Power they need someone in the White House that is not only friendly to their “ecological sensitivity” but someone who can be bought?

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and smells like a duck……… sure as shooting isn’t a mountain lion.

BTW, perhaps a Director’s Cut of Red Dawn could be produced with Jed and Robert yelling “kree!” at appropriate points in the action.

I’m not positive, but I believe the Dems are misrepresenting what Rush actually said. (Now there’s a big surprise).

The web site blurb is:

Last week, Rush Limbaugh actually said that he “hopes” President Obama fails to meet America’s challenges.

If Hopey is turning to Socialism as the way to meet America’s challenges, then I hope he fails too. America needs more freedom and Capitalism, not less.

I love all this talk about Badgers and Wolverines. They’re actually quite similar in that they were both killed by Nittany Lions.

Oh, and STEELERS RULE1111!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!

Thats just wonderful. There is nothing more pointless, worthless, and borderline masturbatory than an internet petition. The true mark of a worthless person is pushing an internet petition to silence oposing view points.

“Thank you for sharing this message with friends and family. When members of the Republican Attack Machine like Rush Limbaugh kick into action, we need a strong grassroots response.”

Thanks for the link, I like filling out petitions. They will find that a person named Liberals Suck wants L. Rushbo off the air.

Keep it up libs. They will continue to give Mr. Limbaugh free publicity, as they have Ms. Coulter, which is of course the last thing they should want. Please do expose more people to conservative thought, pretty please. Thats how we get you. Expose you to common sense and logic and eventually even Joe six-pack starts to pay attention.

Especially when it cuts into his liquor allotment or his TV time. Right media elitists.

Oromin – “I actually have worn a giant badger costume in the past! (I’m from Wisconsin. It was the mascot for my robotics team in high school.)”

Too much info… too much info. Unless, of course, the badger costume was an aphrodisiac to your female classmates.

IMO petitions are like those stupid chain emails. Do you really believe signing a petition will make Rush change his mind or shut down his show? Yes??? Well then, I guess angry badgers will attack you and your family if you don’t immediately forward that email to 10 friends.

this is in keeping with BHO’s way of doing things. Dont take any real action. Its the “Animal House” solution.

Petitions are about as useful as democrats. A petition made by democrats is less useful than a pipe wrench to a quadriplegic.

Hey! Badgers and wolverines are NOT related! Wolverines are so much cooler and more awesome than those lame badgers. Even when the Wolverines completely suck and lose to everyone else, they can still beat the Badgers (and the Gophers, but nobody cares about them). But just you wait, Rich Rod will get things turned around soon (or he’ll be out on his can), and then the Wolverines will reclaim their rightful place as the “Champions of the (mid)west”.

WOLVERINES!!!

I think Rush will be able to pull through the petition crisis pretty much unscathed, but he’s screwed if they bring out the dreaded *U.N. Resolution*.
…if they get that, it’s game over, dude.

P.S. Before anybody complains, EVERY thread is a football thread. Plus, Limbaugh is a Steelers fan so it is kinda/sorta on topic.
