Why don't you dust the knick-knacks in your parlor, StupidReader, instead of obsessing with Rush, who is your brain?
Without the affinity for Rush, I'd have to call him (oops...her) something besides RushReader.

The SRs of the party would turn our nation into a fascist state if they could. They don't dare try it now, because the true Americans in our country would stand them against a wall.

The neocon abortion of an era is almost over, and will change completely with the election of either of the three candidates.

I understand that Obama and Clinton will not permit Bush or Cheney to travel outside of the country after January 2009. That sounds like good policy. That way we don't have to worry about either one being arrested for war crimes against humanity.

Rumsfeld had to flee France last year before the international police arm in Europe and barely made it back to the U.S.

Spouting utter nonsense like this makes you sound more like a Jihadist every day. There's no fascist like a Liberal one.

Ah, yes. True Americans like you would line other Americans against a wall and shoot them, just because they disagree with you. Just like Saddam did with anyone who he didn't agree with when he had his hatchet men take Iraqis out into a desert in the middle of the night, tied them to a stake, and executed them. Or blew them up, thereby leaving absolutely no evidence of his many crimes against humanity.

No mention of Rush in this post? Wow, you must be slipping.

Notice that SR is still ignoring the legal rights for terrorist suspects question? Notice that SR won't talk about Rumsfeld fleeing before the international police? And he calls me a liberal.

By your reasoning, SR, then Newt Gingrich, George Will, and Dick Army are liberals also, which obviously is not the case. They despise the neocon heresy in the Republican Party that hijacked it eight years ago and ran it and our beloved country into the ditch. Thus all you can do is to continue to lie.

You neocons are the fascists, not the conservatives like me. I recognize a liberal Big Government, Big Civil State, Big Government Payroll, and agendas of Big Government Loves Big Business, Big Government Overseas Internationalism in you and all neocons. You glorify the Leader, the State, and the Neocon Philosophy. You hate small government, restrained government payrolls, and responsible foreign policies. Yes, you neocons are the liberals, not the true Republicans like me.

The administration of George Bush has been the greatest disaster in American history: a broken government, a broken economy, a broken foreign policy.

With McCain's election, you guys go into the gutter from whence you came. Many Republican conservatives like me have been warning our fiscal conservatives that you aren't their kinds of guys, and our social conservatives that you would betray them.

You have proven my points on all counts.

Who pays you to write your crap, SR?

With McCain's election, you are out of a job, and so is your perverted paymaster, and the USA will be far better off.

Well, scrub my toilet, if StupidReaderette isn't back with more "Rush Truth." Iron some shirts, StupidReaderette! Sweep some cobwebs off the ceiling and out of your skull, you cute little doily tatterette. Back in the kitchen where you belong, sweetie. Leave the thinking to men!

SR reminds of some of the other neocon shrills and frails: Fran Townsend, Karen Hughes, and Lynn Cheney. They are nothing like the Kay Baily Hutchinsons, etc., the real female backbone of the traditional Republican Party. The political tramps will soon be swept aside. Thank heavens!

Yep. No one says it like Rush.

Is this the same Rush that was convicted for felony prescription fraud and felony possesion of narcotic substances. I think the police need to recheck his office. They might have missed his stash.

Kids, pay attention here, this is yet another reason to just say no to drugs.

Ah, yes. Rush was addicted to prescription drugs that he got for a severe back problem that he had, and he freely admitted it.

In early October 2003 and in the same week as the McNabb controversy, the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally buying prescription drugs. Other news outlets quickly confirmed the beginnings of an investigation.[32]

Limbaugh has been a vocal critic of drug users as well as an avid supporter of the War on Drugs (see the "On Drug Users" section of Limbaugh's quotations at Wikiquotes, cited at the bottom of this article).

On October 10, 2003, Limbaugh admitted to listeners on his radio show that he had abused prescription painkillers and stated that he would enter inpatient treatment for 30 days, immediately following the broadcast. He did not specifically mention which pain medications he had been abusing. Speaking about his behavior, Limbaugh went on to say:

"I am not making any excuses. You know, over the years, athletes and celebrities have emerged from treatment centers to great fanfare and praise for conquering great demons. They are said to be great role models and examples for others. Well, I am no role model. I refuse to let anyone think I am doing something great here, when there are people you never hear about, who face long odds and never resort to such escapes."

"They are the role models. I am no victim and do not portray myself as such. I take full responsibility for my problem. At the present time the authorities are conducting an investigation, and I have been asked to limit my public comments until this investigation is complete."[33]

Following Limbaugh's admission of drug abuse, his detractors reviewed prior statements by him about drug use as examples of hypocrisy. Several statements were found, in particular, on October 5, 1995:

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

and on August 8, 2003:

"These tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?"

on his TV show on December 9, 1993:

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say, "Hey, you know, we can't control it anymore. People are going to do drugs anyway. Let's legalize it." It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea, and those who are for it are purely, 100 percent selfish."

Which contradicts what was said on March 12, 1998:

"What is missing in the drug fight is legalization. If we want to go after drugs with the same fervor and intensity with which we go after cigarettes, let's legalize drugs. Legalize the manufacture of drugs. License the Cali cartel. Make them taxpayers, and then sue them. Sue them left and right, and then get control of the price, and generate tax revenue from it. Raise the price sky high, and fund all sorts of other wonderful social programs."

For this last quote, it should be noted that Rush often uses heavy sarcasm to make his point.

An article in the January 12, 2004 issue of Human Events (The National Conservative Weekly) presented its reaction to the media attention of Limbaugh's addiction, calling it a 'Network War' against Limbaugh. It charged network anchors with engaging in exaggerated and inflammatory rhetoric by implying Limbaugh was involved in "drug sales" or "drug gangs." Human Events Online reported in January 2004 a timeline of events in this matter from September through December 2003.

An investigation into "doctor shopping" concluded in the state of Florida under the Palm Beach State Attorney in April 2006. Limbaugh's attorney Roy Black alleged that the chief county prosecutor investigating Limbaugh, an elected Democrat, was politically motivated. The ACLU, an organization often lambasted by Limbaugh, came to his defense, claiming that the district attorney violated Limbaugh's constitutional rights by "fishing" through his private medical records. Assistant State Attorney James L. Martz, on November 9, 2005, stated "I have no idea if Mr. Limbaugh has completed the elements of any offense yet." Then on December 12, 2005, Judge David F. Crow decided to prohibit the State from questioning Limbaugh's physicians about "the medical condition of the patient and any information disclosed to the healthcare practitioner by the patient in the course of the care and treatment of the patient."

Limbaugh has said his addiction to painkillers came as a result of long-term back pain he had been suffering for several years, and a botched surgery that came as a result of that. Limbaugh opposed the prosecutor's efforts to interview his doctors on the basis of patient privacy rights, and has argued that the prosecutor has in fact violated his Fourth Amendment civil rights by illegally seizing his medical records. The Florida courts consistently upheld Limbaugh's right to confidentiality.

Remember Betty Ford? She was addicted to prescription drugs as well and established the Betty Ford Center for the many other Americans who suffer from the same addiction.

Ho hum. Back in the kitchen, please, StupidReaderette. Quit losing votes for the Republicans.
