[Elwood P Dowd]

So a fat, draft dodging, drug addicted, three times divorced, talk radio host is the most powerful man in the family values and christ loving republican party?

Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh, the most-listened-to radio host in the U.S. and America's No. 1 voice for conservatism, says he alone has the power to select the 2008 Republican nominee for president at this point, but he's avoiding promoting one candidate over another so as not to sound like a "cheerleader."

Limbaugh's remarks came today during his analysis of last night's GOP presidential debate in South Carolina, as a caller urged Rush to throw his support behind Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, as the caller claimed Paul was the most conservative of the field of candidates.

"I don't think Congressman Paul has a snowball's chance," Limbaugh said.

"You have the power yourself to make him the Republican nominee," the caller responded.

"That is very true, and that is why I must exercise this power responsibly, not as a cheerleader," said Limbaugh, "which is why I'm not picking a name right now. I alone have the power to move the base."

1. Move the base?

free base, maybe.

[Mojambo]

2. Okay he's a douchebag and all, but clearly he's joking there. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

4. He's not joking.

[rasputin1952]

18. I am willing to bet he believes that crap. He'll make it sound

like a "joke", but his arrogance may well take him to the point where he believes it...:eyes:

[hwmnbn]

3. Move the base?!?....

He can barely move his fat ass!

[brentspeak]

11. Maybe he meant the "free"base

:hide:

[rurallib]

5. I heard that and immediately had a vision

of McCain, Romney, Huck, Rudes and all the rest crawling on their knees to give their Lord a BJ to earn his blessing. All secretly carrying magnifying glasses to find their objective.
Look for most of them this is not a step down but a continuation of current strategy.

6. Hey, that's his valve stem.

Maybe some smart pol will FINALLY let the air outta the raving gas bag.

[youngdem]

10. Nah....He's the Cloaca

Note the resemblance.

[proud patriot]

7. what a pompous ass

x(

[muntrv]

8. The only thing limpballs moves is oxycontin.

[Gregorian]

9. It's probably just the Oxy speakin'.

[MadMaddie]

12. Self Delusion

Limpballs is a fine representative of what is wrong with the Republican party.....

Swollen ego, rich, arrogant and delusional...

He like O'leilly will be completely and utterly surprised when people start tuning out.....

[stanwyck]

13. There is a tidal wave about to hit conservatives

and they're totally oblivious. Rush included. The pendulum has swung. The GOP has squandered their power. The Bush administration is an unmitigated disaster. The GOP has fronted candidates who are an embarrassment.
It's over, GOP.
Whatever Rush has to say is meaningless.

[AndyA]

15. That's what I keep thinking as well, I'm just not sure I believe it yet.

There are still a lot of stupid Kool-Aid drinkers loose out there. They report to no one, go unsupervised for long periods of time, and are even trusted with children.

I really hope this is true, that the GOP is in its last throes, to quote one of their "leaders." :eyes:

25. The immigration issue is the last nail in the coffin

I'm in Georgia, and Republicans Isaacson and Chambliss are endorsing the new immigration bill. This is downright treason to the good ole boys down here.
They're just starting to wakeup and realize that they've been played.
The elected Republicans bow down to Big Business. Bubba doesn't matter...except when it's election time. And then, the Repub. candidates thrown them a little God talk. A little "lower taxes" talk. A little "anti-gay" and anti-abortion talk. And Bubba falls in line.
Guess what? Bubba is mad as hell about illegal immigrants and the pandering to big business over the issue. Maybe it's finally dawning through the thick skulls down here that the Republicans in power really could care less about Bubba. It's all about Halliburton. Always has been. Always will be.

14. Pick any issue and Limbaugh

makes himself the story. It's an amazing display of self-promotion.

[Marr]

16. Democracy, GOP style. Shut-up and follow. Can you imagine how

Thom Hartmann's audience would respond to such a statement? It wouldn't be anything like the dittoheads' sheep-like response.

People to the left of center often complain about the "herding cats" phenomenon found in progressive politics, but I much prefer that to the alternative.

[Rosemary2205]

17. Busting out laughing.

They don't call him "Comedian Rush Limbaugh" fer nothin'! LOL

[5X]

19. That is the first time I have ever been to that web site...

scary fucking place. They worship limpuke and chuck norris?

[Elwood P Dowd]

20. Those sickos have been around since the 90s.

Scary place.

21. Oxytalkin'

keep on a poppin'

[murielm99]

22. Pigboy must think he is the heir apparent

now that Falwell has died.

Falwell once said that he owned the repuke party. They could not get anyone elected without his approval. Now pigboy thinks he owns them!

:rofl:

[Loki]

23. Rush - the Republican Party's enema

he just keeps moving shit along.

[marzipanni]

24. He fancies himself the Pilonidal Piper leading the rats,

but as the tale goes, they follow him to their drowning.
