I heard Rush say this at least twice: To get the economy moving (big time), cut ALL federal taxes for one year. Well, that would be a dream come true for a lot of us but who would pay the bills in the mean time? China? If so, wouldn't that increase the national debt by about 3.5 trillion?

What do you think about Rush's plan?

I think you've misquoted him. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Is it possible that he said "capital gains" tax?

Anyone hear Rush recently? He is asking interesting question...Why can libs ask all of these questions and judge conservatives and yet no one can ask similar questions about the current POS?...Oooops, I mean POTUS.
No one knows anything about the personal life of Obama, no one remembers him from Harvard, no one knows about his pre-Michelle love life, etc,etc,etc....

Give us links to your answers on the Obama questions, Katz. Allegations or vague questions mean nothing - as you claim to be a scientist - should know.

Tell you what my friend Buggy; as soon as you or anyone link the aforementioned alleged quote by Limbaugh, I'll look for what you want.

I'm shocked people still listen to him.

Highest rated talk show with the highest audiences by far of any talk show on radio.

Me too...I hate hypocrites and when he ragged on drug abusers and then we learn he had some dependency issues of his own... He is another one of those uber conservatives who praise family values and he is on wife 3 or 4 now?

Release your hate. You'll feel better. Hope you never have chronic debilitating pain like Rush Limbaugh did. Many people wish for family stability and are thwarted. It seems common in the world of high profile news and entertainment industry types. It would be nice if you were more compassionate towards people, even those you hate, but you don't know.

Rush is informative and entertaining. Why else would we listen.

Well, why don't you just admit that you dont like him?

Why do you like Obama? Seriously, why?

I find very little of what he says informative...he is about as entertaining as a train wreck. There is no subject he can not twist into his own brand of sarcasm and meaness. Like I said....he is a hypocrit of the worse kind. But if some find him entertaining....so be it. To each their own....

Rush is one of the reasons Obama was elected and will be reelected.

Having had family members addicted to prescription painkillers, I have some compassion for him.

He, or at least his public persona, however, had none.

It is his hypocrisy that I have no respect for.

If he'd come out and acknowledged just how hard it can be and recanted at least some of the statements he'd made, he'd be a bigger man in my eyes (and I used to listen to him during my commute every day back in the 1990s).

*To my knowledge*, he's never done that.

I haven't listened to him in a long time, largely because it seemed to me that he was getting increasingly nasty and the humor seemed to take a darker turn over a LONG period of time.

Now he just seems a caricature of his former self. But, to his defense, he DOES have several hours a day of time to fill and he's been doing it for a very long time.

Most people have no comprehension of difficult situations which they have no personal experience in. It's easy to be steadfast and righteous when you have no clue to the enormity of the problem. Many people criticize another's actions in a situation that they themselves have never found themselves in.

That's Rush's story on prescription painkillers. You never hear him voice anything but sympathy and encouragement about this subject on the extremely rare occasion he might even address it now. Not that it matters to the "Rush haters" who won't let it go because it's a justification for the unreasonable hate in their heart.

I would link it if I had access to transcripts of his show, but I don't and have no way to search.
