Limbaugh wants to raise cash for Clinton after Romney withdrawal
This is not a joke!
First Ann 'the man' Coulter Now El Rushbo the junkie himself wants to raise cash for Clinton! Is there anything they WON'T do for a headline?

Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh had an unorthodox solution to Mitt Romney's departure from the Republican race; he's thinking about raising money for Hillary Clinton.

Don't be mistaken: There's been no sudden change of heart on Limbaugh's part toward the woman who's been among his favorite targets for scorn over the last 15 years. Limbaugh is operating under the assumption that the Republican party -- now represented by presumptive nominee John McCain -- would have a better chance of retaining the White House if anti-Hillary fervor drives GOP voters to the polls in November.

"The reason I'm raising money for Hillary is because, apparently, my party, the Republican party, is relying on fear and loathing of Hillary to unite the party," Limbaugh said.

1. They want a reason to get up in the morning...
...that's how much they don't like McCain.

Plus, the Clintons have made them all rich - they would like another shot at that.

4. My Rush listener co-worker explained it to me
thusly...

They think Hillary is a one termer. They think they will be able to take back Congress in the mid-term elections.

They think Clinton's elect Republicans.

They think they think...

8. Whichever democrat is elected president this year
The gop will call for impeachment hearings by mother's day. Ten seconds after the inauguration the new president will be blamed for everything bush has fucked up in eight years.

11. The usual MO
Tie the Dems up in BS so that they can't really accomplish anything meaningful until the Repubs can returned to their rightfull place on the throne. I think we've seen this show before.

12. Good luck them if it's a veto-proof house and 10 seat majority Senate..
something tells me the repubs are going to have a very hard time accepting they're not in the driver's seat anymore. Those that have seen the writing on the wall have already jumped ship, leaving the delusional behind.

25. One might say
they think if they can't be in the majority they just don't care about their values. A skeptic might just think that.

10. Yep, that is their "brilliant" strategy..
they think Hillary is going to be such a disaster that people will run screaming for the right wing of the party. I just thank goodness that these people are so brain-damaged now as to not cause this country any more trouble for a long time.

22. Rush, along with many other right-wing screeds, career will be on the downhil path if Clinton....
...is not president.

This is probably a one-shot deal for Hillary running for office. If she doesn't become president then she'll either continue to serve as senator or retire from the public sector. And Clintons aren't like Kennedys or Bushes where there are a half dozen other members of the family trying to make a career out of politics.

16. If I were Hillary
I wouldn't be happy about this -- or about Coulter's endorsement, either. I don't think she should have taken Coulter's offer to campaign for her with a good natured acceptance. But Rush on top of that? It's too much. She's already hearing that she's Republican light, she doesn't need these two goons to underline it.

23. See, if Hillary wins then they can take "credit" for it..
they see what's happening. They're being flushed like the shit they are, and they're desperately trying to stay relevant.

His best years were when he had a Clinton in the White House to kick around.

19. The Conservative Movement and RW Hatemonger Talk Radio are dying and they know it.


They are probably trying to send a message like ' ... hey, we're not such bad guys'.


BULLSHIT

21. Or...maybe he just wants to keep his lucrative day job!
Bill Clinton was the best thing that EVER happened to Rush. If he can get a Clinton back in the White House--he's got another four-year gig bashing them and getting the right-wing foaming at the mouth!

24. How Easily Misled Are You All?
In case you have missed it Hillary is raising a train load of money. So now Rush will say "see it is working." The Obamatrons will believe it and MSM will back it up. They are setting us (the dems) up but good. Am I the only one seeing this?

Let me use an analogy even the smallest of minds should be able to understand.

Lets say you have to face one of two gunfighters. Are you going to try to get the best one out of the fight? Or are you going to give the best one even more of an edge and tell them how scared you are and mean it? If you are trying to win by making your opponent over confident you wouldn't know didi about fighting.

Now ask yourself this...When was the last time Rush told the truth?

See that fat Crocodile in the suit with the cigar in his mouth? The one telling you that those crocks in the cage are the new more docile scared types. You can trust him Guaranteed! Just ask the MSM.

26. That fat addict is nothing but a low-grade comic. No one believes what he says.
He is quickly becoming irrelevant.

28. I don't listen to the fat bastard..
so I'm not easily misled at all. Pity to the poor assholes who listen to him, hang on every word he says. He's all about himself. He's all about making himself more money. Hillary Clinton is not some naive backwoods girl who has just come down the pike. She's faced these bastards before. She knows how to deal with them. She'll be ready if and when the time comes. So will we.

27. All of their 30% of the electorate are going to go to the polls to stop Hillary?
The repukes are down to about 30% of all voters now. It would take all of them plus to stop Hillary.

29. I mentioned this once to my dad
a ditto-head extrodinaire... listening to dad go on sometimes is like listening to a re-run of rush...

ennywho - after having to listen to rush on the radio while in the car with my dad (I was trapped...trapped like a rat....)

and rush was doing his usual "clinton's fault" crap - I mentioned to my father that rush should be on his knees and thank the lord for the clintons - because without the clintons - rush wouldn't be where he was today. before the clinton's he just sputtered about liberals - but his spewing spittle at the clintons got him more national coverage.
