Rush Limbaugh: Republicans
built 177 days ago
Nothing is going to happen to Rush Limbaugh no matter what he was carrying. It's an election year and the Republicans cannot afford for one of their biggest cheerleaders to be silenced.

Limbaugh had argued with a caller on Wednesday about when U.S. troops ought to be brought home. The caller, who identified himself as "Mike" from Chicago and said he was an a Iraq veteran and a Republican, pushed Limbaugh on whether the occupation in Iraq would last forever.

Rush Limbaugh became as much a political symbol as he was a broadcaster, and political "satirist". In 1992, President George H. W. Bush made an appearance on Limbaugh's show as part of his re-election campaign, in an effort to regain the support of the financialy conservative branch of his own party (which he had earlier alienated by breaking a pledge not to raise taxes). President George W. Bush "called in" to a live broadcast during the week of the 2004 Republican National Convention to give a preview of his nomination acceptance speech.

What Rush failed to mention was that the furlough law he is talking about was passed when Dukakis was not even governor of Massachusetts. It was signed into law by the REPUBLICAN governor who preceded Dukakis. Dukakis’ biggest involvement with that law was that he repealed it. But you would never hear Rush mention this. He doesn’t want you to hear the whole truth.”

Rush is just a radio pundit. He sends no funds in the magnitude of Moveon.org and he does not create commercials for Republican candidates. That is why this is not a big deal.

Republicans in Congress, Rush explained, were held captive by the party’s leadership in the White House. They were put into a position of having to endorse policies with which as conservatives they disagreed.
