Rush Limbaugh: GOP Could Have Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues"

If actual social issues were ever addressed by the Four Horse's Behinds of the Apocalypse (Mittjob, Little Ricky, Runt Ronny and the Great Newter), they'd guarantee a victory: For the Democrats, like we haven't seen since FDR's fourth.

Rush Limbaugh: GOP Could Have Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues

The only problem about that assertion is that the social issues, such as women's reproductive rights, are causing GOP women to leap out of GOP lockstep to consider voting their best interests. They may surprise GOP men by voting for President Obama.

I recommend this Bob Marley song to them:

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacher man, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!

that they could use aspirin to avoid pregnancy

robert,

and not just any aspirin. since this is a religious controversy, a women would only be compliant with this method if she uses st. joseph aspirin.

what i find interesting is that rush talks about people who get up looking for people to screw. like newt, rush should keep his mouth shut when it comes to the sexual behavior of any person.

good post!

Everyday I hear something else from the right that actually has me supporting Newt's idea of colonization of the moon. I'd make sure Rush was on the first flight.

Hehehehe...

Hahahaa!!

Rush thinks the GOP would WIN?

I'll be back later when I stop laughing!

Let's Review:

Here are the 7 Deadliest Sins
ENVY

SLOTH

GLUTTONY

WRATH

Nothing abut contraceptives


Here are the 10 Commendments in the simplest form:

1

Worship God only.

3

Use God's name with respect.

4

Remember God's Sabbath.

5

Respect your parents.

6

Do not hurt other people.

7

Be faithful in marriage.

8

Do not steal.

9

Do not lie.

10

Do not be envious of others.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Again, nothing about contraceptives.

Now...go ahead and VOTE ....maybe you can out-vote God.

I totally agree: nothing about contraceptives, nothing at all

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

and from the New Testament, Jesus said [no mention of contraceptives]:

Matthew 22:36-40

New International Version (NIV)

³⁶ "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

³⁷ Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

The only problem about that assertion is that the social issues, such as women's reproductive rights, are causing GOP women to leap out of GOP lockstep to consider voting their best interests

just a single example, so dont take it to mean much. But I know an elderly very very conservative woman. One of her dogs was named Reagan. SHe hates liberals. But she is scared of social conservatives and them banning abortion., SO she voted for Obama because she didnt want any more supreme court judges picked by the right. SHe despises Obama. She is scared he will destroy the country. She is more scared of social conservatives. And she is far too old to have kids. I figure a large number of them accept the whole social conservative thing as a means to an end. A way to win elections over dems. But when they start to get the power, to shove women, barefoot and pregnant, back into the kitchen... well you will see right wing women pushing back big time.

And, Rush, IF my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

So, what's your point? Or........are you just pointless, as usual?

"The two particular tenets of this (The American Liberty League) organization say you should love God and then forget your neighbor. For people who want to keep themselves free from starvation, keep a roof over their heads, lead decent lives, have proper educational standards, these are the concern of government.................the protection of life and liberty of the individual against elements in the community that seek to advance themselves at the expense of their fellow citizens." FDR-1935

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!

you all are brilliant, funny, and erudite...thanks for my morning lessons and laughs

and Flynavy, if Rush were on the moon, we would become a two moon planet, the whole gravitational thing would get effed up...

Emma, if Rush had balls he'd be playing tennis...

RI Mom, you need to come up with the Ten Conservative Social Fabrications, #1. Do as we say, not as we do...

BaddestBob, funny one

Happy to see ya, excellent anthem for all of us to occupy our government

But you forget that aspirin doesn't always work either. Some religious folk believe that it's a sin for a wife to refuse her husband whenever he wants it.

If it were based on the American taliban's control of of over half the population's sex lives and reproductive choices.....me thinks that rush the lush is WRONG!

trike......I'd tell you what a mhubby would get for foccin the issue but wouldn't want to encourage women....suffice it to say he would NOT wake up the next AM! Guaranteed!

Petri, my husband would be in the same condition if he forced the issue!

This whole conversation is so neolithic and insulting to those of any intelligence independent of being outfitted with ovaries or testicles.

When put to the average voter, the social issues do NOT go the Repub's way. More Americans favor birth control (overwhelmingly), choice when it comes to abortion, gay marriage, less religion in our government, the government out of our bedrooms, etc, etc. Rush is just plain wrong. The Repubs can try to make this election all about social issues, and they will energize their 25%. They will not win over anyone from the Dem side, and they will lose all the independents and moderate Repubs who are socially liberal and/or actually care that the Repubs have totally ignored all the substantive issues (jobs, economy, foreign affairs) while the Dems are on the right track for improving those.

These Aholes actually are under the impression that America likes them...rather than being angry about are economy falling apart a the tail end of 08 creating the worst economy since the republican great depression...NO America doesn't want to take the long glorious walk backwards into the dark ages with you, fight modernity with you and turn this country into a survival of the fittest anti civilization nation with you

If you only spend time socializing and talking with people who agree with your ideas, you will think everyone agrees with you. These right-wing people only hang out with people who already agree with them, so obviously everyone agrees with them and therefore they would of course win in any election. They can't intelligently justify any of their positions on social issues, so they just avoid those situations where they can't control the conversation.

A local church in my area is having a men's retreat titled "Guys, guns, and God." These people are really starting to frighten me.

I may actually have to move a little further left and join the donkeys.

@ RI mom interesting that the 7 sins are a perfect description of Rush.

Here a social issue that needs added fake erections. If god doesn't want it to work he should not be worshiping at the altar of viagra.

GOP Could Have Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues"

I have to agree, but only if the election is held in early 1940's Germany.

You tell them that a Republican wants to take away their birth control pills, and they don’t care what else is going on. This is what the objective is. … They get up…screw as many people as they can before they go to bed, get up, do it again. You know the people I’m talking about. …

Sure do. Right-wing, fat-cat Republican hypocrites who would blithely continue to find and use contraceptives, who would continue to screw anything that has a pulse—and who would then move on to gut everything else they can get their paws on—in the event that such a piece of harebrained, retrograde legislation were ever to be signed into law.

What does it do? It takes everybody’s attention away from the ongoing economic destruction. I don’t care about the unemployment numbers today and I don’t care about the so-called improvement in jobs and Obama’s approval numbers.

Of course you don't care, Rush, because it doesn't square with your personal agenda. You have always made it abundantly clear that you want to see the Obama administration—and, by extension, the majority of the people of this nation—fail. That, in your exalted opinion, is Job One. Never mind anyone else's job, and to hell with the figures, right? It is you who craves attention: your insatiable ego is of paramount importance, it must be fed constantly, and the sauces must be thick and rich.

By the way, Rush, I wouldn't use the word 'pills' too often in my commentary if I were you. You're exposing your soft, flabby underbelly.

If you really think that social issues are the way to go then run on that.... of course the rest of the country thinks that issues like jobs, the economy, the wars, social security, etc are just a little more important than whether or not people are hedonistic. Which is why Obama will win in November, the right is so focused on the social issues that they are neglecting the important ones.....

Rush is such an IDIOT. The Republicans don't stand a chance in November due in small part to Radicals like Rush. The basic Republican problem in this election is they don't have any leadership. I am talking about someone who can convince the MOB to go in this direction. They have 21 Leaders and very few followers.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth—just don't be a pig about it, okay?

The headline above; "Rush Limbaugh: GOP Could Have Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues"

Let me fix this statement by the fu(ktard Rush Limbaugh:

"GOP Could Give Obama a Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues"

I believe that Rush Limbaugh is THE classic example of the Republican Party NOW: intransigent stupidity (aka-bury your head in the sand and let someone else tell you what to do and how to do it).

Example:

They get up…screw as many people as they can before they go to bed, get up, do it again. You know the people I’m talking about.

Yep---that would be YOU Rush!!

Closer to truth: 98 % of Catholic WOMEN want birth control available, with no restrictions, and paid by their health insurance.

a women would only be compliant with this method if she uses st. joseph aspirin.

Mary must have used a different brand!

What a maroon...what a gulli-Bull...what a nin-cow-poop!

I used an aspirin between my knees once, then my husband bent me over the side of the bed and said, "look! we can still have sex, woo hoo!!".

/s/ LOL!

I think you get extra points if you maintain the aspirin between the knees through completion in that situation.

Sex is a private thing, not a public debate, WTF. I really don't want to know about yours, or even care, gee.

I think you get extra points if you maintain the aspirin between the knees through completion in that situation.

LOL!!! Major points!!!

*Laughs until she starts crying*... *Cries until she starts laughing again*... *deadpan look*.... *dies of conflicted feelings*

I'll apologize ahead of time here to any I offend.

Rush Limbaugh...just shut the @!$%# up. :)

Actually, that aspirin knee lock is good practice for women and exercise for the ol' knee lock of death she could use later on her hubby or boyfriend (or both). Let's just call it a woman's short cut to winning an argument.

And I could tell the aspirin recommending legislator where to put an aspirin for the pain in the butt he is going to feel from the backlash to his stupid remark. Let's just say the aspirin would be close to the pain in the butt for maximum effect.

I have to agree, but only if the election is held in early 1940's Germany.

1930's.

Hitler narrowly lost in 1932 on a platform of corporations over unions, eliminating abortion and contraception, controlling immigration, and demonizing a religious minority as being responsible for the nation's troubles. They were the family values party of Germany and were opposed to the same old entrenched politicians like the incumbent Hindenburg. The Nazi's won the majority of seats in Reichstag but not enough to give them control of government. After a year of having the body deadlocked and unable to get things accomplished, they held a second election in 1932, after which Hindenburg made Hitler Chancellor to try and free up votes to get things accomplished - we all know how well that turned out.

It also doesn't help when you only listen to and only watch ultra right wing propaganda/media.

The Right thinks the whole world agrees with them because for them the whole world does, except their whole world consist of FauxNews, Rush Slimbaugh and others like them.

Yes I watch Rachel Maddow (though not every night), I also watch world news/other countries' news, listen to public radio, I even watch FauxNews! All too often FauxNews is spinning a local, National or World event like no other major TV/Radio News source, with very unique twist as only heard of on FauxNews, also talked about on the radio by Rush, Beck and the like in the exact same light (as dark as it is).

Madvarg, You are absolutely right, but when you attempt to talk these Reich Wingers about any of that, they get all red and then begin the "are you calling me Hitler. are you going to compare my beliefs to Hitler?" They cannot connect that if you just go along and want everyone to act. walk, talk, think and believe alike then that is what you end up with.

Lola - thank you for making me laugh. You really did me good today after reading this article and the article about Congressman Issa. You are refreshing.

OK, who laced Lardo's cigars with crack?

You are very welcome stueystu!

In fact, something tells me, that if the upcoming election could be decided on social issues, the Republicans could win that in a landslide

If IF'S and BUT'S where candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas...

--Sheldon Cooper

Here, let me see if I can lament reality and then attempt manufacture my own too:

In fact, something tells me, that if Rush Limbaugh wasn't an overly bulbous jackass and could feel anything but bigoted hatred, then maybe he could stay clean and sober and maintain at least ONE marriage....

gag....nevermind.

I can't do it. It's too far fetched, just like Limbaugh's newest bucket of sh!t.

... a women would only be compliant with this method if she uses st. joseph aspirin.

But - she'd have to be careful not to use St. Joseph aspirin for children.

Rush needs to stick some aspirin between his lips, instead of oxycodone, before he starts talking ...

LOL Does doughboy really believe his own twisted bs he spews onto the airwaves? What a moron!

The dems will laugh all the way back into the white house this November and more.....these moronic moves the repubs keep making are scaring many of their own to vote for Obama!

OK, who laced Lardo's cigars with crack?

He did.

duh.

social issues,

Don't be stuck on that one social issue. There are way too many social issues that if the people aren't careful, they can lose them, if the GOP have their way. Take a hard look at the lives the GOP destroyed. Millions have lost jobs, it's projected that a million will lose their homes in foreclosure this year and of that number, how many will end up homeless?

GOP could care less about the people, past events proves this by their policies and what they want to do. That is to strip, take away any social program that benefits the people.

@adler.......what part of Genisis was said by Jesus???????

And I do recall Jesus saying things like take care of the poor and needy and love your neighbors. He also CONDEMNED divorce but said NOTHING about gay marriages, contraception OR birth control. MAN (men in particular) are guilty of those offenses!

One guy on FB said this of cris christy and it fits lushy rush as well...."You odious, obese, obnoxious tub of guts, there is ALREADY a Constitutional Amendment, the 14th, to the UJS Constitution. Pull your curly, bejowled head (add instead, 'balding and grey') out of your ample, many-volumed ass, you wretched grotesque scumbag...

Rush Limbaugh: GOP Could Have Landslide Victory If "Election Could Be Decided On Social Issues"

LOL

When Republicans start talking about what could happen in an election...

Why that means Rush realizes that his team has lost. Republicans haven't a prayer. They are doomed.

Rush is the smartest Republican on the short bus...

Still... fairly telling don't you think?

Lord, please let this election be all about social issues for the Republicans. Amen

They don't have much choice do they? Either they tell people not to trust their lyin' eyes and the economy is getting worse or fall back to the core "values," namely the ongoing war on the old, the poor, the weak and women. It's all they really know how to do. Victims of their own insanity. At the present rate their going they may accomplish the feat of what might have been a close election this year to an Obama blowout. They'd need to do a complete 180 to keep from careening over the cliff but instead they seem to double down on crazy every day. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful, but it's still kind of hilariously pathetic to watch at the same time.

Let's see Rush has been married 4 times with no kids. His wives don't need contraception. They just picture him between their legs and nothing happens!

Oy, Ron. Can you imagine how hard I am trying to not let that picture into my head? (Time to pour a double.) Good point, though.

"I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica."

-- Rush Limbaugh. March 9, 2010.

710 days down.

1,116 days to go.....

He'll have his radio show still.

I'm not sure what he means by "all that stuff".

Even Rush will have a hard time selling "Radio Free Costa Rica".

Jabba The Moron is awesome! We can always depend on him to spew the absolute opposite of reality!

I always have wondered how does anyone see film of the pig and still listen to him. Then I took a trip to Morton Ill. for a business bit and I had my eyes opened. Oh, the KKK belt all kind of look like him. Needless to say I quickly sold the interest I had out there and I now stick to the coast!

I have some song lyrics for Rushie - (modified slightly, of course)

Kick him when he's UP
Kick him when he's DOWN
Let the BASTARD UP
Kick him to the GROUND

JUST KICK HIM

("UP" in Rush's case means "HIGH")

James Essayist

Oy, Ron. Can you imagine how hard I am trying to not let that picture into my head?

Brain bleach, stat.

petridishofideas @ #1.48:

@adler.......what part of Genisis was said by Jesus???????

None of it—I never implied in any way that it was—and it's Genesis, by the way. It would appear that you neglected to read my full post up to the very last line. You would then recognize the fact that it was a play on the "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" verse from the Old Testament. Humor. Sorry, petridishofideas, but I believe you jumped the gun.

Translation of the drug addled gas bag... If the election hinges on economics the GOP will lose.

markpup- sorry, i should've specified. in the rush limbaugh quote above, he was referring to the health care law.

Fascinating - why does he care about the new health care law? He's a multimillionaire and the new law won't cause any changes whatsoever in the life he lives now.

In reality, I'm not rich but doing well and it won't change my life to any significant degree either. I pay for my own medical coverage - so 2014 and after, we're mandated to pay for medical coverage which I'm doing now anyway.

And there's a thing the TBP doens't want its minions to think of: That all of us who have health insurance pay for it now, except for Congress. That aspect of having medical will not change in two years, but fairer and less restrictive coverage available to all will change. (And meanwhile, in anticipation of this, the monkey farmers at the insurance companies hiked their damned premiums again well ahead of inflation. What a surprise./s)

That all of us who have health insurance pay for it now, except for Congress.

No - Members of Congress pay for their health insurance - just as we do.

Way up in the first few comments, there is a mention of using St. Joseph aspirin to avoid pregnancy. I haven't heard that since high school. Way it works: girls hold it tight between their knees. Tight, really tight. Now try to have sex while continually holding that aspirin really tight. Had a good laugh way back.

The medical terms for such people who use this technique (as was said of those who use the rhythm method) is "parents."

Now try to have sex while continually holding that aspirin really tight. Had a good laugh way back.

Oh it can be done, just bend over.
