This is a good sign: Limbaugh will not endorse McCain
The right wing wind bag says he will not support McCain

As he opened his radio program Wednesday, Mr. Limbaugh lobbed yet another grenade.

“I would like today to announce a tentative decision — I’m still thinking about it — to endorse Barack Obama,” he said, his head cocked slightly toward his 18-karat-gold-plated microphone, his hands spread wide like the wings of his sleek G4 jet.

Mr. Limbaugh then listed nearly a dozen qualities he said he found admirable in Mr. Obama. “Barack Obama is pro-life,” he began. “Barack Obama is a tax-cutter extraordinaire.”

2.  A Limbaugh endorsement of a Democratic presidential candidate?
Was it not foretold that this would be a harbinger of the End Times?

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :hide: :hide: :hide: :hide:

7. i bet that's why he's not endorsing mccain
because it would make mccain less palatable to the independents and mushy middle of the road dems. let's put that windbag on permanent ignore.

3. They have no idea how to run against Obama.
I think they are testing the waters to see what works.
You know like Obama's a Muslim,His followers are like a cult etc...
These guys are pathetic and are just looking for the right angle.
He probably thinks he would turn Moderates and those who hate him toward Hillary or McCain.
They have become so predictable.

12. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
That wind bag, and his like have long been the trial balloons of the GOP. Rush has always floated 'new ideas' to see if they'll fly. Same with Coulter and Malkin (who whip up the neo-nazi, anti-commie, and white male side of things). Hannity floats the balloons for the warhawks.

That's all this is... a trial balloon.

5. Read the whole thing....
...his points for Obama are jokes and he won't properly endorse him. He just dislikes McCain so greatly.

6. He is using the Obama jokes to dig further at McCain
I am sure it would be a really cold day in hell before that evil wind bag would endorse a Democratic candidate.

His dislike of McCain could indicate that the right wing is more divided than we originally thought.

8. Entertainment. Coultergeist did a similar thing on M$NBC's air yesterday.
She continued her endorsement of Clinton, but said she had yet to decide whether or not to work for her.

Entertainers ..... court jesters.

10. You have a point...his listeners have dropped like flies and
he is getting desperate to get some back. I figure he thinks this is a way to sow dissension, and thereby regain some of those who scooted over the past year or two.

The more shrill RW talk radio has gotten, the further their #'s have dropped...and w/the supporting of Thompson, there was a sharp drop. But the reality is, the GOP is finally being seen as have been taken over by fake conservatives that want only to legislate new and more intolerable laws upon the American population...all in the name of "terror", in essence, they have become the terrorists, and people are seeing that for what it is.

there are other factors as well, like when my boss & I was listening to him on the way to a job, and he brought up "class warfare", before I could say it, my boss, a staunch conservative and evangelical said, "he's right, and we need to prosecute this war to the fullest, the wealthy are destroying the country". (I had to smile, as I've said that for years, and finally, the seeds were sprouting...:D ).

As Limbaugh, Coulter, O'Reilly and Hannity lose what little credibility they ever had at an alarming pace, they will become more shrill, not offering ideas, but only shrieks that the "socialist/commies" will destroy the nation...while the neo-cons have already slashed and burned their way through the Constitution, but thankfully....Americans have seen what has been done, and they are ready to fight back.
