Why doesn't Rush have "an army elistment day- help the Iraq cause".. ????
He has millions of listeners. This is a perfect opportnity for him

to support Bush and Rummy. All those loyal rethug listners cherish

his every word - he can target the "soccer moms" to start with.


What's holding Rush back?

1. He and his listeners are
chickenhawks.

They support the war as long as they, or their children, don't have to fight in it and as long as they don't have to pay for it.

Suggesting we raise taxes to pay for this war, instead of passing the bill to our children/grandchildren or suggesting they actually *fight* in this war gets you labeled an un-american liberal traitor.

3. Hey, he could give out some
of those unsold books that he wrote and brought for himself...

First the first 100 that sign up you get one book..

For the second 100 you get two books...

And for the next 2000 you get Three... repeat THREE of my books...



:rofl:

4. Because he doesn't want to look like the
blowhard he is when no-one signs up.

5. Because he doesn't like poor people
and only those at the bottom end of the income ladder tend to enlist. There is no audience that would join.

7. He would lose some of the "evil-hearted coward demo"
Someone should call in to Rush's show and ask your question.

10. I would love to hear that question and blowhard's attempt at an
answer.

What is Rush's story -- how did he get out of Vietnam??

8. Great Idea!
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 10:12 AM by Sentinel Chicken
Rush needs to get active. He and all the other RW shills need to start pestering their listeners to join up. Let Rush, O'Reilly and Hanity challenge the manhood and patriotism of their listeners for not backing up Bush's war and the rhetoric they've been spewing on behalf of the GOP.

He's setting his audience to blame the anti-war lobby if there's a new terror attack. Wonder why? :think:

13. AND CHURCHES SHOULD ALLOW RECRUITERS
to open booths on Sunday after services. Unless of course we are discussing constitution hating hypocrites. Pencil dicked badass good ole christian conservative boys who would shit their pants at the start of night patrol in Fallujah.

Christian conservatives are domestic enemies of the Constitution.

14. Why Doesn't Chimpy Have A Call to Arms??
Why doesn't the chimp squatting in the white house have a call to arms???? Why doesn't he get up in front of the press corps and tell the entire world that we need more troops and ask all the Young Republicans to sign up NOW!!?? Can't you just imagine what kind of response he would get? There would be lines miles long of all the folks who worship at his feet....right?

I would really like to see a reporter ask Bush when he will call all his faithful to arms....
