I don't always agree with Rush but he is hitting it out of the park.
And the teleprompter line was just priceless.

Rock solid conservative conviction. We didn't see 1/10th of this conviction from one candidate in the primaries.

I don't care what anyone says. Rush is a MUCH better speaker than Obama.
And as I write ... yes, Rush does have better communication skills.

Obama punishes America.

Quite frankly, I really don't listen to him that often. Nor do I agree with some of his positions.
But as a vet, given the choice of support historically by him for our brothers in arms, versus those on the left like Kutcher, or Afleck.

From reading the transcript, Rush has his signals crossed. He is accusing Darwinism of not having the answers to the origins of life. Rush needs to do more research. Darwinism doesn't claim to prove the origins of life but the origins of species. Rush hasn't adequately researched the issue and needs to read LGF.

re: #151 wrenchwench
That's the optimistic view. Maybe you should try to call and talk to him about it. But it seems to come from religious conviction on his part.
If I had the time to try and call I would. It may be a religious conviction but even I as a Christian, who has researched the evolution vs. ID debate, have discovered that evolution and Christianity work really well together and as I have posted before, I firmly believe evolution is actually in the biblical account of creation. If it is a religious conviction, Rush needs to discover the same truth I have and realize that folks like Jindal will only help elect more democrats. Jindal isn't the future of this party; solid candidates with a pro-science, limited government, low tax, and fiscal responsibility platform are!

It was great publicity! I bet a lot of people tuned in to hear the "horror" of Rush - only to find out he makes a heck of a lot of sense.
I was on a Seattle Metro bush one day coming back from the UW. We passed a another bus with a wrap around Rush ad. Two girls with about 40 piercing between them were sitting in front of me.
One asked, "Who's Rush?"
The other answers, "That right wing hate guy on radio."

Even though I'm a British-born Canadian with no American connections (other than a brother who has recently moved to Los Angeles), I've been a Rush fan since first discovering his TV show in 1992, just a few weeks before I turned 18, and have been listening to him for my entire adult life.
That being said, the American radio talk show host I am now looking towards the most for moral support to stay sane during the Obama administration is Mark Levin. He's not as much of an entertainer or a natural-born "radio guy" as Limbaugh, but, on an intellectual level, I simply feel I get "more" out of an hour of Levin than I do out of an hour of Limbaugh. Like Limbaugh's the better spokesman, but Levin is the brains behind the operation, almost as though Levin is the Karl Rove to Limbaugh's George Bush Jr., if George Bush Jr. had been a better orator.

This is why you will soon be eliminated when the REAL Obamatons come for you, Terminator 2 style.

Yeah but ... Jindal came in second, just a point ahead of Palin and ronpaul (who tied for third).
When Mitt dropped out (at CPAC last year) people were crying.

You sound like the lefties talking about GW verbal gaffes, we all make them and even a typo now and then. I'd come back with some classic bloopers from the right. but that's pointless. Time for dinner, BBL.
I would expect a U.S. SENATOR running for VICE PRESIDENT to understand enough about the stock market crash to know who the hell was POTUS when it happened.
But I guess in avanti's America, that's just expecting too much.
In terms of intellect, you and Biden aren't that far apart. Take that however you wish.

Yeh and Letterman had "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" about GWB. Does he do that now that Obama is in the White House?

Furthermore, there's a big difference between a gaffe in a speech and Biden's "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" moment.
And don't even get me started on his racism.
But he's popular with Democrats. Whoopee.
(I don't know why, but this is seriously annoying me today. Gotta get out of here for a while...see you later!)

re: #617 avanti
yeah but somehow when a Bush or Palin do it,its a national scandal and shows what"morons" they are.When obama or biden do it ,its ,ehh,everyone does it,and the media just ignore,or brush it off as nothing.How many gaffes and "misstatements"(im being polite)did biden make in the biden/palin debate?i believe it was something like 15.Yet the media just ignored that,and declared him the winner.(yeah,they arent biased at all)She crushed him in the real world.Not to mention hes a known plagiarist,and outright liar.

There seems to be some restlessness with the people as of late. I have a feeling that in the very, very near future, the shit will be hitting the fan, and it will be a wild ride.
I think Obama is starting to push the wrong buttons, and people are not going to be as silent as he thought.

Here's the quote that Biden made, while on Couric's show...
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'
FDR wasn't president, there was no TV(outside of theory-or very, very crude machines) for the guy who wasn't president to talk to the people, and FDR never said, Look, here's what happened.
It has to be about the dumbest thing any politician ever said!
If Bush or Quayle ever said something like that, it would be on Letterman and Leno til the end of time.....

My favorite stupid line from B.O.
In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed" May 6th, 2007
Perhaps that is as stupid as Biden...still, Biden made so many mistakes in so few lines....

re: #573 loppyd
Mileage tax being floated here in MA as well. On top of a 19 cent increase in the gas tax and recently approved toll hikes on the Mass Pike and Harbor Tunnels. At the new toll rate it would cost someone driving from Metro West to the airport and back $16.00 in tolls alone.
Anyone who wants a glimpse into the nation's future need not look any further than MA. Deval Patrick is Obama's bud - cut from the same cloth and campaigned on the same feel good platform. His slogan was "Together We Can" - pffthh.
Don't forget he was the originator of the "Just words" speech Obama gave and the libs ate right up.

Great speech to read, the transcript that is! Rush is positive as usual and explains quite well why, and how, he want President Obama's policies to fail. Well done, sir!

Biden is one of the most gafftastic politicians ever. He just does not care what comes out of his mouth. He recently gave details about spending stimulus for small business saying that if there was no bridge to the business BHO's plan would build one. He truly is an idiot.

How absolutely wonderful he was I love Rush and here is why..
He is a rich white man who feels no guilt about either, he is not PC and he sells conservatism better than most though I would say Mark Levin does better just his anger "scares" some away....I LOVE HIM though :-0
I suspect the idiot Olbermann will have Rush as his worst person evah because he beat up his favorite person in the whole wide world...The One!

Just read through this thread after viewing video of the entire Rush Limbaugh speech, which I will rate a +10. Those of you bringing up the Darwin evolution theory as a prism through which you must see every event are becoming very tiresome. At the risk of sounding like a moonbat idiot, can't we live in "now" sometimes and deal with issues in a more pragmatic way? Rush is a capitalist. That's fine with me. I don't mind disagreeing with him on other issues - must everything be about "evolution vs. creationism vs. ID? Geez. Way to kill dialogue on the many other things we need to discuss.

I have to hear it. Glad it went so well to many who heard it.
I have been resting, to deal with the pain, so I missed it.
When on the road, I listened to Rush and the Underground Bunker to pass the time. As a Rock music fan, you can only hear the same songs for awhile till you need a brake. Country in fine for awhile, but I hate rap and pop. I am going to get some CD's that has Charles on them. But I have to get my new car (its an old one that needs work) in shape and put in a CD player. Any first choosiest I should try? My wife (god love her) wants to make sure I get well enough to work. I am too impatient some times. But the last thing I want is to be stupid and end up going backwards.
