Limbaugh: "Texas is ready to recede -- secede from the nation because of Obama"

From the October 16 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

The rest wouldn't be missed. We already import so much oil, importing the Gulf Coast drop in the bucket won't be much. I also like the idea that GW Bush would reside in a foreign country.
What are they waiting for, an engraved exit visa?
Number two, quit blaming an entire state for the stupidity of a few idiots. AND
Number three, GWB is not and has NEVER been a Texan. He's just lived here off and on for years. Nothing about GWB is Texan, not even the phony accent he started affecting prior to the 2000 election.
Now, back to Rush's stupidity . . .
Number two, Texas has elected John Cornyn to the Senate twice and Kay Bailey Hutchinson to the Senate four times (including one special election.)
Number three, Texas gave us Phil Gramm, Tom DeLay, Mac Thornberry, and a host of Congressmen who could only be elected to office by a braying population of drooling morons determined to celebrate the Triumph of the Stupid.
In conclusion- Texas's "contribution" to our Representative Government is indefensible. There's the door.
I can't believe you made that ridiculously stupid statement. As I said, don't blame the stupidity of a few on the entire state.
I would suggest that you take a look at that door. Unbelievable, I mean SERIOUSLY unbelievable. And you're the "proud American"? I would NEVER tell ANY American to leave.
WOW!
By the way, I'm from Vermont. If every Senator had Bernie Sanders' philosophy, and every Congressman shared the political opinions of Peter Welch, this country would be far, far better off.
Losing a dozen or more troglodyte mouth-breathers from Texas? I think we'd recover. Fast.
"Very American of you." Um, my state didn't leave the Union in 1861, and didn't threaten to leave in 2009. I wouldn't be judging the patriotism of others if I were you.
There's a lot about Texas to like, but their politics leaves a lot to be desired.
My husband and I lived in Fort Worth back in the 1970s. I'd say that there are more than a quota of morons. But then again, I grew up in Nebraska. ;-)
Mary, I could say the same thing about Massachusetts.
The word Corrupt describes our politics up here best.
Of course you do realize Massachusetts is a Dem/Lib majority state...right? ;-)
But I'll get those bad Libs [and we are overrun with them]to shape up!!
And those down in Texas can deal with the bad Cons.
Now in Nebraska, my home state, we were too boring to be corrupt, for the most part...
I'd take that anytime!!
I've never liked that Bee Gee tune...so I hope it doesn't get into my head!!! Grrr!! ;-)
You have a standing invitation ;-)
I know you said standing invitation, but could we lay down when I get there?
I know, I know me & Miz Julia should get a room!!
Sounds like a plan :-)
No problem, I think I'd rather use my power elsewhere ;-)
I've not made any attempts to justify any of them. I have never voted for KBH NOR Cornyn. I never voted for Gramm nor did I even have opportunity to vote for or against Thornberry and DeLay. I voted for Charlie Stenholm for years and, I, along with the majority of the folks in my community despise DeLay for giving us Randy Neuguebauer. I would vote for Mickey Mouse before I'd vote for that jack a**. So, as I said, don't indict an entire state for the stupidity of a few. It makes you look foolish and petty.
Furthermore, you're ragging bintx about the officials his state has elected. Need I remind you that you are an American and we, as a nation, elected George Bush...twice. I don't know if any of us has room to talk.
CORRECTION: the MORONS of the nation elected George Bush . . . once. The Supreme Court put him in the first time . . .
You're obviously up-to-date on your Texas history/politics, but you still cannot indict an entire state because of a few people's actions.
If you expect to defeat the bigotry and hatred being spewed by Conservative radio hosts, you're going to have to hold yourself to a higher standard. I know that it hurts to listen/read/hear about stories like this one, and lashing out is the easiest form of release, but you need to man-up and handle this situation with some dignity, unlike Rush.
I might have been tempted to pile on, but my state has given us Jesse The Dolt Venture, Tim Pawlenty-of-Nothing and Crazy Michele Bachmann.
Out to pasture, literally. To be used as manure? ;-)
The show will only last 15 minutes, but it will be fun watching them push the launch button and then run around like chickens with their heads cut off wondering if their nuke hits first!
First group of wingnuts to destroy the other gets to live.
How long do you think it would take before BOTH pressed the button?
Viva Reconquista!
I vote we force California to leave. It would save us tons of federal $$
As for the rest of the audio...I see no reason not to allow protests against the President. This is America, we get to do that sort of stuff ;-)
And Texas is still part of the USA. For now ;-)
No biggie here.
Not that I've heard Mass wants to secede. But I'd still like to get rid of a certain segment of folks ;-)
And once [thus far] for Obama.
Any other questions Gov? Leave them with my secretary, & I'll read them later.
Amen. Now that BOTH the Tundra Princess AND the First Dud are unemployed, that'd be two less people living off the welfare teat the rest of us work so hard to fund . . .
Perhaps, Jeter -- but just remember, California's [Republican] TermiGovernator would be forced to go back into bodybuilding . . .
And, tell the truth, I was tempted to pile on about Texas, too -- but CA has contributed, in addition to Ah-nold, a union leader/ex-Dem actor governor [Reagan], a corrupt ex-rep [Duke CunningScam], and a current Rep who's a car thief [Darrell Issa] . . .
Well, Limpy -- while Texas may be "ready" to "recede," your hairline is already in that process {and your waistline has done the opposite.}
But I do understand that Texans generally aren't into leaving the U.S. of A. and it's unfortunate that Limbaugh wants to always travel the low road.
"Goodhair" is a dime store cowboy, as is "W" the Connecticut country club cowboy.
Thanks for the picture of our beautiful wildflowers. If anybody wants some pictures I've taken of the bluebonnets, contact me at juliajayne@verizon.net
And no spammers!
I think Limbaugh would be much more attuned to this site in your fair state: Texas Crews Respond to Large Tire Fire
Firefighters found over 140,000 tires burning
You vowed to secede from NYC months ago.
WHY are you still here?
Liar.
All we would have to do is build that fence like the one at the Texas Mexico boarder to keep the Texans out.
Interesting that Rush asked if the student body president was male or female. Wonder where he was going to go with that, had they been female?
Why is it soooo important to know that, Limburger?
Enjoying the Texas/OU thing this weekend? I don't follow it myself, but I know lots do. I used to live in OK for a spell, being a damn Yankee from NY/PA before that.
Anyway, welcome! And this is a great state with many beautiful places...I agree. We can't help we have Rick "goodhair" Perry making stupid statements!
Wonder if Pillboy knows??
HHAHAHAHAHAHA
For serious though, every time I go out of state or country, I am way embarrassed to say I was born and raised here. I guess you could say, stupid is in the air here.
