Rush tells his listeners that the Republicans are winning.

Each day their polls sink deeper and deeper as the ones to blame for the shutdown. He may fool his listeners but he is not fooling the Democrats. They understand the pressure that Boehner and the Repubs feel as the polls turn against them. Republicans may not care if the government shuts down or if we don't vote on the debt limit or if millions lose their jobs, but they do care about their own jobs and their own survival. Contrary to what Limbaugh says, the Democrats are holding the stronger political position at this time. They are looking for the exit door.

Rush Limbaugh tells lies on radio to dumb people. That's what he does. He's a disgusting gasbag who lowers the standard for political discourse.

I don't know if Cruz took time off from the Senate floor to call Rush up on the phone. He did immediately after his 21 hr talk on the floor.

This lead to the "stabbed in the back" theory when they lost. Since they believed they were winning, how could they possibly have lost? Someone must have betrayed them!


Those unable to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

He's a miserable person and should just be relegated as such.

Incidentally, I'm listening to "Sick of You" by Iggy Pop ... I'd like to apply the song to him, but I never loved him in the first place.

Fri Oct 4, 2013, 05:14 PM
Oct 2013

When the GOP is having a bad time, the faithful tune into Rush and his ratings tend to go up. Limbaugh loves to see the GOP having a bad time and wants this mess to continue as long as possible. The fact that the shutdown is hurting the long term election prospects of the GOP is meaningless to Rush so long has he has good ratings

any of his now fan base off air about positive examples of ACA. He may take

freely and without his scorn.
