OPERATION CHAOS: Rush Limbaugh's Primary shenanigans could backfire
Further proof surfaces, confirming my conclusion:

If KKKarl is Bush's Brain
Rush is Bush's Brain on Drugs


Thanks lpbk2713 for posting side-by-side KKKarl and Rush images, allowing the obvious above conclusion to arise:

==================================
Primary shenanigans could backfire
By JOSH KRAUSHAAR | 3/31/08 - http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9291.html

Could Rush Limbaugh be responsible for tipping the election outcome in a key Republican primary to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. Roger Wicker in Mississippi?

That’s what some Republican operatives in the state are suggesting.

As part of his self-described “Operation Chaos,” the conservative talk-show host urged his listeners to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary in order to draw out the presidential nomination process as long as possible.

But in Mississippi, those party-switchers may not have realized the implications of their decision: The Republicans who voted in last month’s Democratic primary now are not allowed to cast ballots in Tuesday’s hotly contested runoff between Glenn McCullough, the former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Greg Davis, mayor of one of the fastest-growing towns in the state’s 1st Congressional District.

And given how close the race could end up being, the fact that those ticket-splitters must stay on the sidelines could mean the difference .....

5. OxyRush is conveying the message that it is OK to lie and deceive in order to get what they want.
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 02:37 PM by lpbk2713


After all, it worked for them in the Y2K Florida selection.

I wonder how that sits with the Fundies? OxyRush wants his shittoheads to vote Dem in the primaries in order to hack the elections.
Anybody seen Katherine Harris lately? Wouldn't surprise me if she was giving OxyRush some pointers on this.

6. It serves them right.
If they listen to that ignorant fool and do everything he says without checking out the facts for themselves, they get what they deserve.

One of the reasons I try to get people to take Democratic ballots in our primary is for the people downticket. We need the votes for local candidates. We need the votes for delegates in a primary year. Of course the top of the ticket is important. But the local races affect people more than they realize.

7. It really didn't work in Mississippi
The official count showed that Obama cleared the 62.5% threshold needed to get an extra delegate.

11. OR, let him talk with noone listening. That's coming soon anyway.
Even with a 50% high school grad rate in inner cities. You don't need a degree to smell the filth.

12. Already has in a TX state house race:
We managed to get rid of an anti-public ed Mepublican who will be
replaced by a pro-public ed. Mepublican largely due to so many
cross-over voters. MMMMwwwwaaaaa haaa haaaaa!!!!

16. That's what John Mitchell advised Dick Nixon, except, I think he said
"Republican National Committee shenanigans"

We forget to give credit directly to whom credit is due often!
