      You're projecting again Rush. This is getting to be a serious problem, you should have that looked at.

        Pretty much sums up conservative talk radio as a genre, dosn't he?

        Acting out.

        Spoiled brat.

        Not getting his own way.

        Thug.

      My daughter was denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. She is not alone. It is not demonizing the insurance company to say that, and it being a spoiled thug to want to prevent it from happening to other people. Being a spoiled thug is yelling at your callers or cutting off their calls because they disagree with you.

        The whole right wing has been doing the hold-breath and stamp-foot act since the election.

        "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the spoildest of them all?"

        It's you, Rush, you steaming nit.

        Today is not the day for anyone to mess with me on insurance...In the mail today I received a bill from my son's pediatrician for his school boosters. $271.27, that is what I have to pay, the insurance covered just over 1/3 of the cost at $165.52. My husband pays $300.00 out of every check, $600.00 a month, for what? I want one of you conservative ding-bats to explain to me why a public option is a bad thing.

          I hear you! I have had those days, too. Still, imagine what it would have been like to have no insurance and have to pay the whole thing, or worse, choose not to pay and have a sick child. This whole thing drives me crazy! People need access to health care, and it shouldn't be on a pay your money and take your chances basis, either.

            I know my brother doesn't have insurance either. This is the second bill for lab services I've gotten in as many weeks. We've never gotten them before, so if our policy has changed we haven't been informed. It just kills me when my conservative friends sit there and demonize the public option when thye have no idea what happens to your finances when you have serious medical issues.

              I lived in Asia for 10 years, everyone was covered by national health insurance. I would go to the local hospital and wait in line to see a doctor, every service had to be paid for separately (at least for people like me, not in the system) but it was no better or worse when it came to the amount of time spent and care delivered as here, but the cost was amazingly small! Their pharmacy was computerized! The doctor enter the order, I went to the lobby with my ID card, selected my pharmacy from the list (with a map!) and then went to the pharmacy to pick up my waiting meds! Most of my prescriptions cost less than $10, and the cost of the visit was about $20, an X-ray was about $30, a transport ambulance was $50. My husband fell and split his head open, a dozen stitches to close and it only cost about $300, including the X-ray and ambulance ride. Really, I think that is reasonable.

      As a resident of Chicago, I'd love Rush to come visit the city his racist ass besmirches on a daily basis. I am sure I can teach him a few things about thuggery.

      Chicago is the new Paris, France - a wonderful city made object of wingnut scorn simply becauue they're too intellectually lazy to form a valid argument and too physically lazy to get off their bloated behinds and actually pay one of the greatest cities on the planet an f-in visit.

      Keep talking smack about my hometown, losers. You aren't tough, smart or interesting enough to live here.

        Limbaugh knows nothing about Chicago and its politics. This is self-evident to all the residents of Chicago, including me. I have been following Chicago politics since 1968. It is a pity that Mike Royko is dead because he would have had a few choice comments for Limbaugh as well as a lot of other politicians.

      Here is an article from 2005, regarding then President Bush's perfection of the 'permanent campaign', and detailing some of the epic problems:

      "George W. Bush may be the very best. Indeed, his Administration represents the final, squalid perfection of the Permanent Campaign: a White House where almost every move is tactical, a matter of momentary politics, even decisions that involve life and death and war. That is what the Scooter Libby indictment is really all about.

      It is about trying to spin a war."

      "The President has proposed vast, transformational policies—the remaking of the Middle East, of Social Security, of the federal bureaucracy. But he has done so in a haphazard way, with little attention to detail or consequences."

      "The White House proposed a massive Medicare prescription-drug plan and then flat-out misrepresented the true costs (and quietly included a windfall for drug companies). "

      So, I'm guessing the deficit you're talking about is Bush's? And, of course, you are on record chastising Bush in a similar fashion for acting in an even less scrupulous fashion? For adding profits to drug companies at the expense of the elderly?

      Ooops! I forgot! Rush has no sense of history...

      Spoiled brat and Chicago thug? Guess that's Limbaugh's way of doubling up his usual "man child" characterization of Obama with implications that Chicago is ruled by gangsters of various backgrounds, past, present, political or otherwise. Plus adding the "Hussein" in the name. Going three for three on that one!

      FYI, tell Rush and the wing nuts all about how the insurance racket forced my friend to choose between paying for a telephone or her daughter's medication (for a psychological condition, therefore with additional stigmas; after all, Rush has said ADHD and other brain issues are phony)

      OK, I'm being absolutely serious. The clip of Obama speaking that Limbaugh plays from 1:01 to 1:16 -- is he playing this at 2x speed by accident or is this a new gimmick Limbaugh is trying out?

          As I wrote in another thread, Rush finds the President's resonant voice, his calm and measured delivery, and well-organized reasoning in his statements threatening. Therefore he tinkers with the speed both to demean the President himself, as you said, and to subliminally undercut his statements, even before Limpballs goes on the attack.

              I read your comment earlier, on another thread. I agree. Also do you get the impression that Rush truly lives a very miserable existence? Even with all that money, can do anything he wants, he comes across to me as a lonely, jealous, sad, angry, bitter miserable soul.

                Absolutely. It's hard, when someone is so consistently self-referential (and self reverential), not to suspect that there is a world of compensation going on.
