3. If rush REALLY cared about these soldiers ...
why doesn't he just let them have free access?

Oh, that's right. There's money to be made off them.

4. Maybe we could sponsor Adopt a Young Republican Soldier
You know, liberals would pay for their body armor, since the gov't still can't seem to get around to it.

We could pledge to make cookies, and send toothbrushes and all

So, go to your local Young College Chickenhawks Republican's meeting. Pick out the one member who shows the most bravado. Then sponsor them - send out press releases to all the local news about how you'll be doing all this "support the troops" stuff for your own little Yellow Elephant once they actually get down to the recruiters office.

He can't make it there? No problem, as his sponsor, you'll drive him. Those evil, liberal professors won't give him the time off? No problem, as his sponsor, you'll be able to talk liberal to liberal with the professor - you'll have that timing issue cleared up in no time.

10. That's an idea - "Sponsor a Young Republican's cab fare
to the Recruiting Center for the Armed Forces" . . .

7. "Donations are not tax deductable". Rush is a crooked, slimy pig.

8. Then, They're Not Donations!
They are expenditures if they're not deductible. This from a guy who supports the idea of running gov't like a business.

13. They aren't donations -- truth in advertising dictates
That the "adopt-a-soldier" program should really be called "line Limbaugh's overstuffed pockets" program.

Rush must be on drugs if he thinks any intelligent person is going to fall for this!

15. Your Last Sentence Is Fully Absurd
First, he IS on drugs, not must be.

Secondly, "if the thinks" is wrong. When has he ever actually thought?

And intelligent people never fall for this sort of stuff. So that's redundant.

Sorry to pick your sentence apart. But, i figured you'd enjoy it anyway!
