Maybe a little disgust - Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh sees Romney's recent comments as being a big opportunity and explains to his listeners what's in Romneys heart.

I happen to know that Romney wants for this country the same thing I want. When he talks to his donors about these 47% that are locked into Obama, he does it with disappointment, sadness, and maybe a little disgust. Where everybody analyzing this is wrong is he would love to be able to reach them. He has not written them off. He's telling his donors various things, but I do not believe he's written them off.

I've spoken to Mitt Romney a number of times, and I don't believe he's written them off, despite how it sounds. But if he has, it's time to forget that. If he has written 'em off, this is an opportunity to educate 'em. This is an opportunity to inspire 'em. This is an opportunity to tell them, if he's Mitt Romney, what he wants for them.


They are flailing a little bit at this point.

Also this great bit, that shows that Rush Limbaugh may not know what working class is.

The Obama campaign has written off "white, working-class voters." He's written 'em off. Now, there's no tape of Obama saying so. But there's a column of one of Obama's supporters saying that that's what the campaign's doing. And it's been buttressed a couple of other times, and it's clearly factually correct when you watch the Obama campaign. He's declared war on anybody making over $200,000 a year.

That would take care of all of my bills, debts, etc. and leave me with plenty more per month. Then I can finally live the Republican dreams of hard work and self-sufficiency without being dependent on government!!! What freakin' universe are people like him living in that they believe that most people make that much money per year??? Most people are lucky to make the median income of $50-70K

"He has not written then off" .. "I do not believe he's written them off" .. "If he has written 'em off"

The GOPers are in a world of hurt. They know this is really bad but dont know what to say about it.

but he speaks in that sideways gobblydiegook that snake oil salesmen and slick preachers employ to fleece the flock. He hates blue collar workers with a passion.

He does snag the proud and the ruthless - and some of them are blue collar - but he convinces no one against their will. .

His job is to keep churning out putrid ideas, the reprehensible ones that stink up society and that no normal, functioning adult would ever entertain. These ideas are like bait to the others who actually believe these thoughts and ideas are acceptable.

The flies are attracted to Rush's rancid, reeking words. He only has to get a few of them to please his bosses.


More of society's sociopaths get daily validation for their anti-social behavior. Limpballs makes egads of $$$$$$$. Win sauce all around.

He's a fascinating example of the very, very sick media in America.
