I agree he shouldnt try to project that on the entire D party (i dont THINK he was doing that, at least as far as i can tell) but he has a good point.

Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat...Well, you know the rest.

That he may well be. I would not know as I have a job.

Still, if the loud jumbo is getting so many left wingers' knickers in a twist, he must be doing something right. Why else would you care?

Yeah, Clinton was a jerk, too.

How many wars did he start or act as chief cheerleader for?

So people do get addicted and what you do with it defines you.
Rush had to be outed, that's real adult. He might still be addicted to his drug or drugs if that all hadnt gone public.

If he hadnt had his public persona and paycheck to maintain, and people to help him get over it I suppose, who knows what choices he would have made or not made? We dont know.

It is funny to see the old junkie waxing nostalgic though.

Actually, he sent U.S. troops to more foreign countries than Bush did. He also did order bombings in Iraq.

Love Rush or hate him, agree/disagree with him - people have to agree on one thing about him....
Rush makes you think.

Take what he says and go do the research for yourself.

Nobody is perfect. There has never been or will ever be a Perfect President. The problem with Limbaugh and others like him is that they are NOT willing to see anything but what they want to see. They just cannot get over the fact that the vast majority of America want change. Change is NOT in their vocabulary. They were quite happy being the centre of their universe but now realise that their old ways are going to change. They are desperately trying to knock the foundation of change and they will destroy any one or anything that is in their way.
Get over yourself Limbaugh...... America is far greater than you want it to be.
Americans want America to once again be for the brave not just for the rich.
