Conservative Base Has Fractured - Rush Windbaugh

Calling it his "non-concession speech," talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh launched a fresh round of attacks Wednesday on newly-minted GOP frontrunner John McCain — the latest indication the Arizona senator is likely to witness a backlash from some conservative quarters as he seeks to wrap up his party's nomination.

Limbaugh, a longtime conservative critic of McCain, said the senator's rise is largely the result of "uninspiring" candidates, and a "fractured" party base.

"There was no figure in our roster of candidates who rose up to challenge him or galvanize conservative support," Limbaugh said on his daily radio program. "All the candidates on our side, for various reasons, are uninspiring or worse — and so, just as I predicted, the base has fractured."






Suck on it bozo

1. Maybe he could give the base some oxycontin to help with its fracture pain

[alfredo]

2. It might make them more tolerable.

[Make7]

5. To make them more tolerable...

... it would probably be better if WE took oxycontin.

:) Make7

8. No, get them buzzed and when they fall asleep, get out the permanent

markers.

3. Quick? Fractured base!

someone call Jack Bauer...he'll know what to do!! :sarcasm:

4. Conservative base has finally found it's mind????

Nah......they're all crazy and they can't spell.

boo-ya

[gratuitous]

6. Don't worry, if McCain is the GOP nominee

Rush will just change his tune, proclaim McCain the greatest nominee evah, and Rush's listeners won't notice one whit of difference.

[alfredo]

9. I hope I will be too busy with campaigning to notice.

[NewJeffCT]

18. you're so right

they'll realize that when the choice is McCain vs Obama or Clinton, then they would much rather get the reliably conservative McCain.

[alfredo]

23. McCain had a hard time containing his temper last night.

Sooner or later he's going to go Postal.

He has a sharp tongue and will say something like his Chelsea Clinton remark.

[NewJeffCT]

24. You can't count on that

There have been so many posts over the last 4-5 years about Bush having a meltdown or tantrum or that THIS is finally the nail in the coffin for Bush.... and, look, he's still president.

[alfredo]

27. McCain's face is easier to read. His emotions are not blunted from cocaine.

[DearAbby]

7. Tuning up the finger/thumb violin

1 an a 2 an a 3....:nopity:

[Booster]

10. Rush is salivating over a Clinton win - he has another President

term to make his 10 million a year. Bet he even votes for Hillary.

[flying rabbit]

14. Yup. nt

[NewJeffCT]

19. And I'm sure he feels Obama is a political Donovan McNabb

even if he won't say it right out in the open anymore.

[SpiralHawk]

21. I believe republicon propagandist Limbaugh is paid over $20 million a year

to spout the republicon homelander propaganda talking points from his draft-dodging, drug-addicted chickenhawk mouth...

[kevinbgoode]

11. So why didn't Rush run?

It would have been a great pleasure to see his campaign fold. . .and the entire nation see just how small his base of support is. . .

[KitchenWitch]

12. "the base has fractured." - And not a moment too soon!

From his mouth to Gawds ears...

:begs:

[donheld]

13. I don't want the conservative base fractured I want it

shattered into so many pieces Humpy (Rush) Dumpty and the kings horses can't put it back together again.

[calimary]

15. What you said, donheld.

I want them so thoroughly broken, disabled, and disheartened that it will take them DECADES to regroup. And I hope in the meantime that OUR side doesn't relax and grow complacent again as we did a few decades ago. We let down our guard thinking we'd finally fixed quite a few things and made the necessary improvements and beneficial adjustments. And that was all it took.

Remember what Mad-Eye Moody warned Harry Potter and his friends: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!" You can't EVER relax around these people. They'll ALWAYS be lying in wait for your moment of weakness. Like the opportunistic infections they are.

16. Many of the Conservative Peeps have an analytical Mind and they may be slow, but sooner or later can

figure out they been HAD. The Republican Big Bosses are using them with Brainwashing/PsyOps/Media Manipulation, etc to get richer and more powerful.

The Republican Base got raped and they don't like it one fuckin bit.

17. Fractured Fairy Tales. The Rs are still living the Rocky and Bullwinkle reality

paranoid politics

[SpiralHawk]

20. "We're sick and tired of this draft-dodging, drug-addicted republicon propagandist" - America

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Go pop a pill, Rush.

You'll feel better. :)

[alphafemale]

25. Maybe he'll go home and paw his new girl-friend with his large, soft, damp hands.

:scared:

[TexasObserver]

26. The wingers have already made McCain abandon immigration

It seems clear that old straight talk is speaking with a forked tongue.

He caved entirely under pressure from the right on immigration. Watch him dance when they ask him if he would vote FOR his own bill. He equivocates and says "it's a dead issue because it will not see the floor."

Let the right rip him good. We should focus on his war mongering, where he is completely out of sync with America, and on his shady financial history as it relates to the economic collapse of Savings and Loans in America two decades ago. That is his soft underbelly.

[alfredo]

29. His ass kissing of bush is another

[Ganja Ninja]

28. There's just no reason to keep on living Rush.

Perhaps now would be a good time to go home, put on some Sinatra, fix a nice big drink and shove down a feed bag full of oxycontin.

[alfredo]

30. But it is so much fun to have him to kick around.

[shenmue]

31. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I'm pretty happy whenever Rush Limbaugh is in pain.
