NPR: McCain Says He's Probably Won't Do Limbaugh's Show

McCain Says He's Probably Won't Do Limbaugh's Show

John McCain was asked today if he "needs" the critical Rush Limbaugh to win more conservative Republicans.

We'd like to get everyone's support, McCain said, but we know we won't get everyone.

Would he consider going on Rush's show?

Rush doesn't have guests on his show, McCain replied.

Told that Rush DOES sometimes have guests, McCain confessed he didn't know that. I don't listen, he said. "There's a streak of masochism in my family but it doesn't go that deep. "

It's just amazing how people reveal that Rush speaks truth. All they can do to refute what he has to say is label him, calling him names. Senator McCain must not understand Rush's humor either.

if you're voting based on who is on Rush Limbaugh's show, then you should probably reevaluate how you vote.

The way I see it, liberals and independents should vote for McCain, because McCain seems to tick off conservatives. If for no other reason.

And let's be honest, for the past seven years liberals and independents having been trying to figure out a way to tic off conservatives.

Because if you are hoping to tic off conservatives by voting for Hillary and Barack, forget about it.

Yes, America has a mouse in red pants that everyone believes in. And Britney Spears generates over a hundred million a year for paparazzi. True, America is the land of make believe like nobody else on this planet.

But a white woman and a black man aren't going to be living in the White House together.

Even America has it's limits on fantasy.

So, McCain is your man to tic off the conservatives.

Take it or leave it.

Like Laura Ingraham said, she won't vote for McCain under any circumstances. Well, the alternative is Hillary and Barack. The conservatives will end up biting their tongues and voting for McCain just to keep Hillary out.

Join in on the fun.

Unless Romney somehow pulls it out on Super Tuesday.

Oh, well. A McCain/Romney ticket with Rudy as Attorney General and Huckabee as Secretary of All Religions will be a formidible ticket.

John McCain, should go home. He simply looks like the English Patient. He mumbles whatever, but would be in the office taking pain pills, has about 100 broken bones.If he really wants to spend his money he can give them to me or to charities.

McCain really is an admirable person in many ways. However, anyone who will overturn Roe v Wade will never get my vote.

If you're voting based on who Rush Limbaugh likes, you should probably be lobotomized. Oh wait, you pretty much are if you listen his show, anyhow.
