Political Punch

OH PLEASE mccain pick liberman so fat ole rush can pretty much crawl under the hole he came out of give him more reasons to pop his pills the drug addict he is ha ha ha LOVE IT!!!

If you want to rebuild the party cut loose Rush and his neo-con friends. The party ha goon so far right catering only the the fundamentalist extremists of the religiou right. That is the only group that is exerting any kind of influence. Wake up. Middle America is not interested in extremism. If McCain want to elect a Ridge or Lieberman then so be it. A leader is not going to let a Limbaugh or any one else determine who their selection is going to be. If they are a leader of course. McCain has much more to lose than Ruh does.

I think Leiberman and McCain represent moderate, middle-american values. Obama is far off the the left and Rush is far to the right. But in the middle is where the winner lies.

If McCain picks pro-lifer, he wins this election big.

If not, he loses all that he just picked up.

So Rush Limbaugh is interested in "rebuilding the Republican party" his own Neocon ideology ruined? Blaming the "liberals" and the "far left" for the tailspin the right has foisted on America seems to be working on lots of people though--why "rebuild"? Just keep it going. There're still cliffs left for Limbaugh's demo to lead America off of, McCain being one.

McCain and Lieberman would make a good pair for sure. Good riddence from the democratic party. You can have him.

"When it became clear that McCain would get the nomination and not Romney, Limbaugh was frothing at the mouth about it. He - and every other loud mouth talk show radio host - said it would be the end of the GOP."

limbaugh does best personify what the GOP has become. and he brings its end. his massive uncontested soapbox was instrumental in purging nearly all moderates and replacing them with corrupt and incompetent sycophants that have ensured its demise as a major party. his problem with mccain is that he's not on the limbaugh bandwagon and can't be trusted to carry on the bush dynasty. but mccain is coming around and they'll meet half way. limbaugh really does know what the GOP is up to, though perhaps not the electorate- he is often given inside tips to break so he can maintain his "all knowing" status. he does the groundwork-to know what the GOP is planning listen to rush, if you can keep from throwing up.

"limbaugh knows, he represents the GOP principles and morals better than anyone else"

When it became clear that McCain would get the nomination and not Romney, Limbaugh was frothing at the mouth about it. He - and every other loud mouth talk show radio host - said it would be the end of the GOP.

Yet the voters nominated McCain.

Cameron Palm: Did anyone see Mccain last saturday? he did a great job playing to true americans. And if he picks romney, he will shore up that vote solidly.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please explain to me what or who true americans are. Are they only white, christian conservatives? I really would like to know.

Oh please pick Romney so his out sourcing of thousands of good paying American jobs to overseas will finally be publicized!
Oh we can hope ;)

limbaugh knows, he represents the GOP principles and morals better than anyone else. and he'll be on board with mccain by the time the election comes around. he has more political power than anyone else in the country as leader of the talk radio monopoly that basically determines what is and what isn't acceptable in American media. and the last 20 years, since reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, the talk radio monopoly is more responsible than anything else for getting the GOP and the country to this glorious point in our history. really. rush was vastly underpaid at 1/2$BIL considering the tax breaks, deregulation, and defense contracts he created a market for. rove may have been the architect but it was limbaugh and co who did all the heavy lifting. limbaugh knows.

"If you are not a conservative Christian you have no clue as to what Rush is talking about."

Oh yes we do. Rush is an agent of intolerance and hate. He's a false ‘prophet’.

It is fascinating. The story of the Democratic convention may well be a party coming together. Does McCain seriously want to risk juxtaposing that with a party falling apart at the seams in the next week? If McCain is serious, then I think neither Lieberman or Ridge should be close to the pick.

I think part of McCain's problem is the thinness of quality in the GOP right now. None of those who shared the stage with McCain in the primary season would even be making the race close right now. Is there any reason why neither Fred Thompson or Mike Huckabee are being mentioned for VP at the moment?

Right, just like all the conservatives who vowed they would "never vote for McCain" who are now all lined up behind him like the authoritarian sycophants they are. Rush carries water for the GOP, as he readily admitted, end of story. If the GOP candidate puts a pro-choicer on the ticket, Rush feigns outrage for a week then jumps in line.

If you are not a conservative Christian you have no clue as to what Rush is talking about. If you have a moral compass that has a relative bearing because it is not founded upon God's word, you do not have a clue as to what drives the conservative Christian to vote for one candidate or another. If you vote with your pocket book in mind and for how many freebees the government is going to give you, then you do not have a clue what Rush is talking about. It is very apparent the majority of Bloggers on this site do not have a clue what conservative Christianity is about. Your too engulfed in worldly matters to understand. VP choices will play a huge roll in how conservative Christians will vote. As I see it – Obama is a definite: NO Mc Cain is maybe depending on the candidates choice of running mates. If Obama chooses Hillary for a running partner then I will be voting for Mc Cain regardless of who he picks for VP. If Mc Cain picks a Pro-Choice or liberal VP I will either vote for a third party candidate or write in "Nobody."

Bottom Line, if you can get past Rush's narcissism, he is right on target with his assessment of the conservative Christian vote.

McCain should pick Carla Fiorina for VP.

Moderate? McCain? Funny line. He wants to criminalize abortion and bring back the good ol days of women being second class citizens. He's a male chauvinist pig if there ever was one.

Republicans should have chose Dr. Paul. As much as it pains me to see another Texas republican, Paul had some very good stances.

limbaugh is just something like howard stern--a little sleezy and a lot of foul wind.
