Sure John Rush's oxy habit is just another rumor right. Bill is correct when the right continue to point fingers then they can expect to be reminded about what is hanging in their closet.

Sam K: It is not the left who is continually pointing their finger at others, pointing out their human frailties and faults.That is reserved for the right. Remember the "family values party?" This is why, when the right wing "perverts", are exposed, it is so delightful. It appears as if by pointing their fingers at others, it makes them feel better about themselves. Had oxi Rush, not lambasted judges, drug pushers, and addicts, he would not have been ridiculed as he was. It is quite fitting, to see the roosters come home to roost.

If you don't listen to Rush feel free not to judge him. As far as your "pervert" comment see Bareny Frank. The left like to make fun of Rushs drug habit. Yet they can overlook someone like JFK or Obama and have no problem with them. Then mention hypocrisy. Yes childish indeed.

Dar are you tired of hearing the truth about Republican perverts? What do you care if the subject is brought up? The right loves to preach about family values, which makes the whole issue a bunch of hypocrisy, put on by those who feel they have all the answers. Dar you do however have a point, but it would nice if those on the other-side of the debate, would stop bringing up the likes of Clinton, and Kennedy, or others who have had their issues as well. As for Rush, I feel the same way you do, and when I make my long runs to the cities I tune him out as soon as I hear his voice, you know, when I station roam looking for good music.

Oh-oh joe, you forgot to put something in your diatribe about the Republican perverts. You must have been tired. I don't listen to Rush,(never have except one day while riding in the car, he came on so I turned to another radio station) but I am becoming bored with your inane, repetitious comments day after day about Rush. You make very good points when discussing world events. Keep doing that, but please stop repeating the same stuff. I know you can tell me not to read them, but I have a right to because you post them. Thanks

Gee Bill the hypocrisy keeps coming! A friend of mine stated he listened to Rush today and listened closely as I instructed him to do. Rush made the claim the the left is blaming this country for the wars and the right is just sitting there allowing them to get away with it. What a farce, the only war we feel was not jjustified was the invasion of Iraq, no secret there. The war of lies as it has been called provided little evidence Saddam was the threat Bush claimed he was. Also no WOMD were found, yet Rush continues with his ranting trying to make it appear the left does not support this country. Hey Rush, both left and right are fighting in this war, did you ever sign up for the military? Did you go to college and earn a degree? What right other then your right to free speech gives you the right to make up stories in order to gather an ratings. Not only is Rush a radical, but he is a hypocrite plain and simple. Oxy Rush is the equal to reality TV, that is all, and people tune him in not only for laughs, but because some cannot think for themselves.

Flash! Just revealed the GOP's health care plan, includes GASP! Payments for ABORTION! More revelations for the ultra far right wing zealots. How many of these elective abortions have your political contributions paid for? How many children have you killed with your Republican political contributions?

steve p: You hit the nail on the head. They do, indeed,have selective memories. It is no wonder the GOP is little more than a regional cult, with what we have witnessed the past 8 years. It is also no wonder that only 20% of the population will admit to being aligned with the GOP. They appear to be on the ropes. Historians are largely, in agreement, that lil bush was the worst president in American History. The ones that disagree, 2%, readily admit, he is in contension, for the bottom spot, right behind Buchanan. It is time for the GOP to stop apologizing for lil bush and come up with an idea or two, about how to solve our nation's problems. They seem to be more concerned with trying to prevent Obama's success.

Lynn do you have actual facts backing your claim? John I have no problem bringing up the likes of Craig, or Rush, and any other GOP policitican who lives a lie, and convinces people they are someone else for political gain. There is nothing childish about pointing out hypocrisy, except for people like you who want to believe the GOP is the party that stands for family values and morality, as you and some other try to convince us we are wrong and insignificant.

You see Luke there is no giving Larry facts because he blames everything on liberals. According to Larry liberals control everything. Hey Larry I suppose senator Craig was set up by liberals? AARP has no political agenda, they are independent. What was your statement several months ago about the AARP when you stated even they don't support the health-care reform, and Obama was a liar?
