Limbaugh: Making Election Day a holiday won't help Dems because "ost of their voters don't work anyway"

Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh declared that the Democratic Party's plan to make Election Day a national holiday, outlined by Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean at the June 2 "Take Back America" conference, won't "help them that much" because "ost of their voters don't work anyway."

Can you believe this shit???

:wtf:

So in other words....
50% of this country is Dem or anti-pug....So is there 25%+ of this country currently unemployed?

4. Couldn't have summed it up better myself.
You know I really wish Rush would sponsor some fundraiser where you get to have one round with him in the ring. I would pay a grand to beat his ass.

6. wow
so he's saying that 48% of the population don't work?

shit! I never realized that when all my dem friends and relatives said they were going to "work," it was a euphamism for smoking dope. I also never realized that my own office is a front for... something, and while we all think we're working, we're really not, we're really doing... something else.

You're absolutely right - the VAST majority of 'non workers' are Repukes, whether they inherited their money from robber baron ancestors or are fat cat CEOs with huge salaries for doing PR work and golden parachutes so even WHEN they fuck up, they stay rich.

8. Oh. That's strange.
So why do I show up at this office every Monday through Friday and spend all day doing a bunch of stuff that someobdy else tells me to do, and every couple of weeks they put money in my checking account? I guess that must not count as "work." Or else I'm not actually a Democrat.

11. Discussion thread also open in GD

Please click here.

My comment:

That's a lie and Limbaugh knows it.

Of course, he probably intended it as satire not to be taken seriously. Perhaps Rush should stop calling himself a journalist or news commentator and just call himself an entertainer.

Judging by the attention he gets around here, he must be entertaining. Otherwise, why listen to him? Certainly not for facts and information.

47. I don't
At least FT right now because their fucked up tax policies put me out of a job. After 12 years of stellar evaluations and three promotions, out on my ass because of budget cuts. And now we're treading water and keeping up with COBRA payments would have really screwed me by now if I didn't have help. And, I am awaiting word on a possible surgery and have to put my job search on hold, which makes keeping up with COBRA ($519 a month) even more important.

I've worked two or three jobs my entire life, but, yeah, right, I'm just lazy. I even opted to keep my PT job even though it drastically reduces the unemployment benefits I'm eligible for. I would love for one of those RW assholes to have walked a mile in my shoes.

72. We don't eat Oxycontin like candy either.
That fat, pill-popping pied piper is off the mark again as usual. I've been working since I was 12 years old - as has just about every Dem I know. In fact, most of the "non-workers" I've encountered are Repukes - they think something's owed to them so they milk the system for everything they can, and do as little as possible to contribute to society.

As usual, Rush Limpballs is projecting the negative image of the lazy, whining, Repuke with the over-inflated sense of self-importance onto the opposing party again.

*yawn*

Typical, predictable, transparent and ineffective - just like everything else he says.

74. Well, in my case, he's factually correct...
I'm a stay-at-home mom and don't work per se, and I happen to almost always vote for Democrat Party candidates! (The "almost" is a qualifier for the fact that I voted within the Republican ticket in the 2000 Presidential primaries in order to add to McCain's vote count over Bush. Didn't help, obviously!)

See, I happen to vote with my conscience, and the candidate whose platform best supports my sense of truly family centered and American values is the one who wins my vote. And that vote has somehow always gone to Democrat Party candidates... Of course, what Mr. Limbaugh doesn't realize is that all that free time I have as a "non-worker" could easily be spent volunteering for a political cause that he likely doesn't agree with. Kinda funny to me how the revered position for a woman, according to conservatives - woman in the home with the babies, actually helps put me in a position to have extra time to support those causes he'd likely vehemently hate. I just love irony sometimes!

Unfortunately, my extra time is rather short of late since the kid is out of school and having some health issues (not life threatening) that have been in need of intensive attention. He's due for his second surgery in one month a week from Monday. Grr, Argh! At least we have very good insurance, unlike so many of my fellow citizens. :(

But I'm starting to think that once this issue has stabilized (and school is back in session), I will be getting over my intense shyness and contributing to Democratic and Progressive causes in my "red state".... Wish me luck! ;-)

76. Welcome to DU, colinmom71
:hi:

My best to you and your son. I hope his surgery goes well, and all will be better. As a mom that has gone through health issues and surgeries with my own son, I heartfully empathize.

Good luck in your 'red state'. Those 'red' voters are gonna need it!

:)

75. Another 1,000 at Boeing Wichita don't work.........
With the sale of Boeing Wichita to Onex the first thing a good corporation does is shit can the highest paid workers and then demand paycuts from the rest of the workers. Exactly what has happened over a seven day period.
