Rush Limbaugh proclaims 'Mission Accomplished' in Operation Chaos vs. Obama, Clinton

With the Democratic primary struggle between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton possibly prolonged by Republicans crossing over to perversely support the New Yorker, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has unfurled a figurative "Mission Accomplished" banner on his radio program.

Conservative radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh proclaims victory in Operation Chaos to disrupt the Democratic presidential primary process between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama

And although the bombastic broadcaster has absolutely no control over any of it, he has also officially urged two seemingly contradictory things: that Clinton should continue her now nearly hopeless struggle to win the Democratic presidential nomination -- "You've come too far to quit now; don't listen to the voices of surrender" -- and urged Democrats to nominate Obama, the freshman senator from Illinois.

"I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees," Limbaugh said. "“He can get effete snobs, he can get wealthy academics, he can get the young, and he can get the black vote. But Democrats do not win with that.”

That's the showbiz point of Limbaugh's initially silly but then seriously serious Operation Chaos, not to pick any particular Democratic candidate but to help them both bloody each other to irreparably hurt the liberal cause for the fall campaign.

Limbaugh says he came upon the disruptive idea when it ...

... became clear to him that Democratic voters helped select the moderate Sen. John McCain as the Republican nominee and, in return, McCain was insufficiently attacking Obama's liberal positions.

Somebody had to step up and who better than the self-appointed guardian of conservative values who, like the politicians he's always haranguing, is an expert in attracting publicity like this.

"I, Rush Limbaugh," Limbaugh modestly intoned on his Wednesday program, "the commander-in-chief of Operation Chaos have released Democratic superdelegates for Obama." As if any were among Limbaugh's 12 million or so listeners across the country.

"We have been successful beyond our wildest dreams," Limbaugh claimed. "Obama is no longer the Messiah."

Of course, Clinton's persistent attacks and the outbursts of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright may have also had something to do with that. Limbaugh predicted that Obama "will lose and lose big come November."

While no one knows for sure what effect, if any, sincere or mischievous Republicans had on the Democratic voting in states like Indiana that allow crossover balloting, anecdotal evidence suggests there were thousands. Obama's camp charged they were decisively in Clinton's favor in Indiana, ignoring numerous GOP crossovers to their own candidate. Polls revealed that Clinton drew slightly more GOP voters (52%) than Obama (48%).

Interestingly, exit polls indicated that Republicans who crossed over to vote for Obama generally said they would do the same come Nov. 4. While Republicans who crossed over for Clinton said they would switch again to back McCain come the fall.

Inquiries and interviews by various media outlets in recent days suggest there were not enough crossovers to change the outcomes, as close as the Indiana results ended up.

But why should that stop the showman with the large cigar? Limbaugh also noted that former Sen. George McGovern, the unsuccessful Democratic presidential nominee 36 years ago against President Richard Nixon, has just switched his endorsement from Clinton to Obama.

"There's no mystery there, folks," Limbaugh said. "George McGovern wants in his lifetime to see someone lose worse than he did."

Mission accomplished, huh? Time for Rush to kick back and pop some pills, I suppose...

Dear Fellow Americans.

Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical and substantial
"Challenges" in coming,
months, years, and decades.

It is very essential that we pick our next
President on the basis of following criteria.


1. A candidate with a clear "Vision and Mission".

2. A candidate with a sound " Character and Integrity"
.

3. A candidate with a evident "Presidential
Temperament" and " Principled Judgment".

4. A candidate with "little "Washington exposure"
and "real future and past Voters".

5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than
"Tears us down".

6. A candidate not based on past "sexism, racism, and
ageism".

In my professional and personal opinion, the only
candidate who has shown the above qualities and
characteristics is Senator Obama.

As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In over time last
interest in "Washington politics".I stopped voting.
Not a good idea under any circumstance, particularly
at present time.

This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington remain the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are and
can be.

We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan piosonous hateful media.

These type of media outlets are trying to deprive,
dupe, and derail us from getting it right this time.

I pray and hope that we the American people won't be
part of this deception, seduction, and confusion.

These type of media and pundits are trying there best
to deny us better and replac our past remember some of
our bitterness and differences. { "Our Greatgrand
Nations people are persistently and constantly
subjected to Psychological terrorism" without our
knowledge by these these poisonous hateful partisan
media outlets".

We Americans are should not and would not to allow
these type of media psychologically terrorized,
traumatized and silence us this time.Not this time.

I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism, sexism and
ageism.

Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundations,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear or favor.

We can not afford to lose any of above conectins. Let
us stand up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand
Nation for decades to come and regain our world
economic, and power status back.

God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.

Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.

Yours sincerely,

with enough chutzpah to defy an american broadcast media heavy that rush limbaugh is, i say i contest his mission accomplished theory.

here's my take on the issue:


with all the american political "pundits" scattering their opinions around like philandering men carelessly sowing their oats, we, readers of various u.s. papers (both print & online editions), wonder what need is there for our opinions on whether hillary should still fight it out or quit?



overnight, so suddenly there’s no dearth of “wise” men & women so brilliant—after the fact--on their judgment to force hillary to surrender. & so, why should the all-knowing u.s. papers & news agencies want to know our “neurotic” (as some in the press implicitly ad hominem us, readers) opinion on their hillary query pose. of course you in the u.s. media already KNOW the answer YOU WANT, just as you KNEW BEFOREHAND WHO YOUR DEMOCRAT NOMINEE WOULD BE.

wasn’t it obvious by the way you in the u.s. press, generally speaking, (mis)treated hillary, lambasting her, ridiculing, insulting her, belittling all her pronouncements, hyping up—magnifying--all her gaffes and misstatements?

wasn’t it patently clear with your oh-so-gentle treatment of her opponent, giving him the best spots & space, the most positive media mileage, and when you have to focus on his flaps & character flaws & misjudgments, extending to him the kid’s glove treatment or, worse, trying to look the other way, as if he never did anything wrong in his entire life? wasn’t your press/media bias for hillary’s opponent so abhorrently manifest with your supposed “straight news stories” & “news features” so altogether slanted in his favor, written by supposedly veteran reporters, including those from the wires, such as those from AP, etc.? sad to say, in these out-&-out hillary-smearing reports, objectivity died after a severe beating by those newsmen--& editors--who should know better.

in a great sense, this was what susan jacoby, in castigating you, the americans, for your inability to debate extensively & substantially & intelligently on the great issues of the day, meant in her well-written op-ed (newspaper) piece she titled “talking to ourselves,” a phrase, incidentally, she lifted shamelessly, i dare say, from a passage in one novel of my favorite jewish-american literary icon. jacoby might want me to point out to her the novel i’m referring to & the exact page & exact statement. i’d gladly do so.


& so i say, hillary rodham clinton found the democratic nomination very tough, but it’s not because of her lack of qualifications (no, she’s awesomely intellectually gifted, & her opponent can barely hold a candle to her, w/c is the reason he ultimately refused to debate her, as he always lost in all their debates). it’s because the u.s. media & the monolithic black people connived, conspired to put hillary down, with the u.s. media printing/using only “stories” which were favorable to hillary’s opponent & damaging to hillary. in this situation, it’s a no-win, back-to-the-wall case for hillary.


sad to say, the moguls of the u.s. press/media & the blacks aren’t yet ready for the first ever first woman u.s. president, even if she is as brilliant & as gutsy as hillary is. you have made your choice, so brace yourselves for the consequences, no matter horrifying how these may be, as i see it.

the us of a isn’t as yet ready for your first margaret thatcher, when a lot of countries, even those in the 3rd world, have embraced the fairer sex as heads of state, who’ve proven themselves as competent as their male counterparts (the likes of golda meir of israel; yes, thatcher of uk; germany’s present chancellor, angela merkel; bandaranaike of ceylon, i think; our very own cory aquino of the philippines; indira gandhi of india; & including those illegitimate amazon-like female crown usurpers, like gloria macapagal arroyo, also from the philippines, etc.).

hillary found the democratic nominating contest so tough because the u.s. media moguls (in general), swooning like effeminate “cross-dressers” over hillary’s opponent (under what spell i just can’t fathom) made sure it would be very tough for her to hurdle, because the blacks—admit it or not for these people (& this isn’t a racially tinged—but just a matter-of-fact--statement)—turned monolithic for one of their kind, because america is largely still a paternalistic, misogynist society, w/c will remain to be so for a century or more.

that may be hillary’s tough luck, alright, but it’s more of america’s loss when they denied the offer of the first authentic american woman leader of the first water to bring them—beyond mere words, beyond oratory--to the promised land, in a manner of speaking.

& so i say to the behemoths of the u.s. media/press, you have made your obama bed. so lie on it.

"Mischievious"? Don't you mean "mischievous"?


(Yes, that one. Thank you.)

seriously silly. though limbaugh's 'operation' is not even near as silly as the attempted limbo of his republican peers - politically suicidal to keep pretending it might be possible for the gop to win this fall without owning up to the major mistakes of recent years; and at last, to unequivocally dismiss mccain and step behind their true presidential candidate RON PAUL, and his comprehensive program to correct the course. so maybe this is limbaugh's stealthy hint: come fall, will rise (PRESIDENT) RON PAUL. still, silly for limbaugh to be talking in riddles - as if there wasn't more than enough serious silliness going on already in (both) the democratic and (both) the republican camps.

Operation Chaos is still going on, and this is only proof of the liberal media trying to shut him down.


with due respect to one commenter, may i have the honor of posting quartz's critique of rush limbaugh & tim russert & co. finishing off hillary? needless to say, i fully agree with quartz's view.

here's quartz take:


quartz american rebuts obama

Tim Russert has been as venomous and biased towards Hillary as as fawning and lavishing praise on Obama. Obama running a nebulous campaign of no substance. The pundits now make a virtue of vacuousness so that any substance Hillary has is condemned as pandering, as being Washington dirty tricks. All her formidable political skills are turned against her. All his clumsiness and woodeness turned into endearing charisma. She is good at debating and Obama isn’t, but this is a point against her. His boooriiiiiiiing empty boilerplate speeches are lauded as elevated oratory. Her meat and potatoes issues, political fighting skills are dismissed as being just a fighter. A fighter and an identification with the middle Obama’s inability to connect with the common person is endearing, her ability to identify with their plight fakery. All her past has been excavated, any prying into his skeleton rich closet is VERBOTEN upon pain of being a racist. His associations are sacrosant and off limits, but she must account for her husband’s. His endorsements are endorsements and the last time we checked elections were not won by endorsemnts but by votes of the people? But not in this case, much is made of his support in the party but she is cheating to solicit superdelegates. Being part of the Wright church for 20 years was brought up by the media not Hillary but it is entirely her fault that he has these unpatriotic connections. She has run a negative campaign to suggest he is untried and unseasoned. Thrown under the bus when inconvenient are sundry people like Rezko, Wright, the white granny, early drug use, questionable ways he got his Senate seat, Ayers..denial and burial are part of the Obama modus operandi..but it is minimized. Hillary is under suspicion for anything and everything. Obama is a good black entertainer on the lines of a Sidney Poitier or an Oprah and he has a fan base. Hillary is simply a hard worker and this is terrible? It is like the media is playing a version of let’s put on a show. Obama is compared to JFK as being inspirational? JFK had ideas, Obama none. JFK was a great speaker and it is really hard to follow the Obama empty gassy rhetoric. Obama is now getting a free ride to the White House by the press. The media has been playing up the numbers, the inevitable math but will not analyze how the numbers were gotten, why he can not win an entire state but get more candidates only with pockets of the black vote? His manipulaton of the Dem’s election process is not discussed. As Hillary said if it were just wins that counted, she would already be the candidate. Choosing a candidate because he exploits the mathematical disproportionalities based on race seems very bizarre, especially when the national election will be based on wins by a the vote of the majority and then the electoral college. I doubt McCain will put on the kid gloves Hillary has been forced to wear. Will Obama know what to do or say once if Hillary is not here to emulate or learn from? Kerry the swift boated loser is his supporter, and so it goes.

Since no one has brought it up, here's what Indiana law says. Rush claims poll workers 'laughed' when voters told them they were participating in Operation Chaos. They should have challenged the voters. (Not that I find Rush and his dittoheads to be reliable tellers of tales.)

http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title3/ar10/ch1.html
IC 3-10-1-6
Eligible voters
Sec. 6. A voter may vote at a primary election:
(1) if the voter, at the last general election, voted for a majority of the regular nominees of the political party holding the primary election; or
(2) if the voter did not vote at the last general election, but intends to vote at the next general election for a majority of the regular nominees of the political party holding the primary election;
as long as the voter was registered as a voter at the last general election or has registered since then.
As added by P.L.5-1986, SEC.6.

IC 3-10-1-9
Challenging voter
Sec. 9. A voter in a precinct may challenge a voter or person who offers to vote at a primary election. The challenged person may not vote unless the challenged person:
(1) is registered;
(2) makes:
(A) an oral or a written affirmation under IC 3-10-12; or
(B) an affidavit:
(i) that the challenged person is a voter of the precinct; or
(ii) required under IC 3-10-11 if the voter declares that the voter is entitled to vote under IC 3-10-11; and
(3) either:
(A) at the last general election voted for a majority of the regular nominees of the political party for whose candidates the challenged person proposes to vote in the primary election and intends to vote for the regular nominees of the political party at the next general election; or
(B) if the challenged person did not vote at the last general election, intends to vote at the next general election for a majority of the regular nominees of the political party holding the primary election.
As added by P.L.5-1986, SEC.6. Amended by P.L.17-1993, SEC.9; P.L.12-1995, SEC.62.

Any voter who gave up his/her vote for such balant disregard for the privilege we have in America should be ashamed. What Rush won't do for more narssistic attention is just more of the same "alot about nothing" that's his code of ethics "alot about nothing". People who follow such a person too are "alot about nothing".

Rush Limbaugh is still relevant in this world? How sad.

Hmmm, a republican declaring mission accomplished and declaring victory prematurely before the real battle has even begun. I don't know about you but that sounds strangely familiar. It wouldn't be much of a surprised if he announced the completion of the mission wearing a bomber suit while on the deck of an aircraft carrier. When will the Right ever learn????

Rush's comments are just the last, sad gasps of an irrelevant old man desperately trying to avoid oblivion. Will he try to take credit for Hilary's decision to stay in the race, too? You need not do anything on your way out, Rush--you already turned off the lights!

Maybe Captain Viagra/ Oxicotton really wants a Democratic President to go along with the Democratic Congress so he will have fodder to spew to the brain dead drones who may actually listen to his little show. Unfortunately for him, the thousands of independent voters who overwhelmingly favor Obama are neither impressed, or swayed by his egomaniac laced attempts to thwart the will of the people. At long last sir, have you no shame?

Remember the last time someone unfurled a banner stating "Mission Accomplished"? How did that turned out?

On a given day, Rush has over 20 million listeners according to Radio Equalizer & the hapless loo-zers on the left are again painting themselves into an unwinnable situation. Ala McGovern, Jimmy in '80, Mondale, Dukakis, and [except for media boosting of Ross Perot as a cred candidate] Clinton in '92.

Dems can spew all the hate & venom they want on Rush, but the big pols respect him [except for hopeless maverick McCain who may just lose in spite of his advantages] and if you listen to him occasionally, he makes way more sense than "special comments" & other exhalations by weird lefty half-wits on cable.

But Dems don't understand sense & common sense, as they've been educated out of it by the lefty MSM. And lousy colleges.

Rush is inadvertently correct in believing this election will be the biggest route of McGovern's lifetime. His mistake is that Barack Obama will wipe the floor with John W. McSame.

"George McGovern wants in his lifetime to see someone lose worse than he did." Rush is right. I join George McGovern in looking forward to Barack Obama blowing John McCain out in November.

It is interesting that the liberal agenda of skewing the GOP race is now happening on their side. I would never deceptively switch sides in a caucus, but Limbaugh's antics are hilarious! Lighten up, Democrats, there is not that much difference between Obama and Clinton.

LOL - Rush is obviously back on heavy dosages of drugs again.

Lets see his grand plan:
1. Have his stooges vote for Clinton.
2. Fail to get Clinton the nomination.

Wow - he sure has vision! The only "CHAOS" going on is in his shrunken brain. His stooges are too slow to notice.

Rush Gassbag? That guy still has a job?

Here we are pandering to the lunatic fringe.

The good thing is, the majority of those who voted for the war in Iraq will be shown the door this fall.

Dems sure know how to pick loosers. From mC Govern to
Kery or Carter to Dukakis...the most liberal always wins
second place and so yes mission has been accomplished.
Look for that other lunatic Kucinich to be the next sacrificial lamb in 2012. So long suckers!!!!!

Rush and his stooges are a tool of the extremist right wing radicals. They are a bunch of anti-american traitors who wish to punish this great nation with the Republican Grand Failure forever!

Timothy McVeigh would be proud of you, Rush! (except for maybe your drugs, and preference for men)

I thought Rush OD'd back in the Clinton years...

Is this his son?

I read and hear all the complaints about Rep's voting in the Clinton/Obama race. Yet, I heard NOTHING when Dem's and Independents voted for McCain in the early primaries that allowed crossover voting.

If D's can push McCain into the Rep's nomination, then why can't R's use the same opportunities to vote for who they wish when it is perfectly legal?

Who asked what Rush thinks because it really doesn't matter

The next president of the United States of America will be a democratic. Get over it GOP or KKK or MM or what ever you fools call yourselves these days.

Why does the news media take Rush Limbaugh so seriously?

John McCain had it right when he called Limbaugh a Bozo and then apologized to Bozo for making the comparison.

Listen to one of Limbaugh's show for its full three hours and you'll see what McCain was talking about--the staged phone calls, prepared scripts, tortured statistics, non-sequiturs, twisted logic, half-baked ideas, gasping change of direction in mid thought, out-of- context sound bytes, wrong predictions, baseless information, false piety, relentless blustering, mockery and sniggering.

Also consider his qualifications--a first-semester college drop-out, a stadium beer vendor, a draft dodger (claimed he had an incapacitating boil on his anus), a pill addict.

Rush Limbaugh ratings may be high. After all, he's a good entertainer, certainly a lot better than Bozo. But no listener of average intelligence can take him seriously. How the news media continues to give so much weight to his moronic pronouncement is beyond comprehension.

No, Limbaugh had no influence at all on the Indiana primary. Hillary was predicted to win the state on her accord, and by a much wider margin. And if El Rusho’s “Operation Chaos” was as effective as he claims, why did Obama blow away the Clintons in North Carolina?

Come on, you news media journalists, pundits, commentators, et. al. You can’t be that stupid.

This is a good argument for a closed primary. People should not be able to cross party affiliation during primary elections. It undermines the value and purpose of political parties.

Rush. It's nice to know that America's own Nazi Joseph Geoebbels is filling our airwaves with his ridiculous propaganda. The frightening thing about all this is that there are people out there who listen and believe in his bunk. Whether Rush is serious or not.

Who's Rush Limbaugh? What a loser.

Flush Limpbaah... a legend in his own mind. *grin*

I thought Rush stopped doing drugs. He's trying to spin the fact that many Republicans are jumping ship, because they're finally acutely aware of the gigantic failures of the current administration.

Busk 1. War and recession

Bush 2. War and recession

In between, peace and prosperity. I'm feeling some peace and prosperity coming on. Either of the Democratic candidates will beat Mc Cain, which is why the battle to win the nomination is so fierce.

Do you think anyone seriously pays attention to this drug addicted racist? He's a buffoon of the highest order.

"Quick Mildred! He's at it again! Get the white coat with them there funny sleeves!"

The only thing Rush has accomplished is turning the Republicans into a bunch of hatemongers. I used to get along with Republicans just fine until Rush came along & ruined them. Do you "dittoheads" enjoy being so unlikeable? Well, because of people like you I hope the Republican Party is destroyed. I never used to feel this way, but too many people have suffered because of the cold-heartedness of your party. The lack of a strong government response to the damage of Hurricane Katrina is a good example of what Rush has wrought. I don't want America to be like this. We need to try something different. It's called *caring* about each other.

I think that he is still hallucinating.

It's an undeniable fact some dittoheads where there because of that festering bloatted piece of puss as they admitted it. Whether or not it is determined a fact he moved enough numbers. The potential and the intent needed to be addressed. Clinton "won" by 16,000 votes and there were tons of people saying they were there because of Operation Chaos. My letter to Limbloat as perception has a strange way of becoming the reality. So I wrote. I don't think it will sway him but he can't say someone didn't tell him. Besides it made ME feel better. And it reads:


Imagine, if both parties switch sides and vote for the weaker candidate, we end up with poor choices when it comes down to electing our president.

This is not the best way to run a democracy. You show no respect for the democratic process, by acting like this is some kind of game we all lose. Someone should put a bullet in your head. It's contributions by people like you that have moved our country in this dangerous direction. Choosing our next president is not for entertainment. It's not about doing what's best for ratings. It's about picking a leader that best represents our country locally and globally. A person with the charge of insuring it's citizens have a chance to reach their fullest potential. However YOU want to risk driving the COUNTRY over a precipice of disaster, bankrupting our economy and farming our assets out to foreign nationals all for your selfish benefit.

You would rather risk watching your country collapse under a financial back breaking all because of your selfish ego manipulated enough fools to pick a republican TOOL.

If your plan works by some strange miracle and John "I've got a temper and not a clue, cuz I'm too senile to my facts straight and i want to stay in iraq"
McCain gets elected. Then we do stay in iraq and hundreds of thousands of soldiers coming back won't have health care (following mccain and bush doctrine) or homes because of the subprime and lack of veteran's benefits. They will tax the social system and become walking time bombs because of mental health issues and their houses have been foreclosed on.

We will still have a fuel problem and this will also effect consumer good pricing. You better be careful as you might get that riot you were asking for. As the result would be you selling your country down the river. The one you profess to be so proud of. Have you no shame?

Here's food for thought. WHEN you fail and Obama becomes president I'd start hiding if I were you. Because if I were president one of the first things I'd do is make it a Federal crime for media to distort and try to manipulate the electoral process. I'd label you a terrorist and could do so thanks to all of those Bush Cheney Executive Orders they pushed behind closed doors. I'd also jail those who knowingly distorted and manipulated facts. It would be mandatory
jail time and a fine so heavy your great grand kids would need to finish paying it off. And the first two on my list would be FOX and YOU. Maybe give you a up close and personal view of Guantanamo.

Stop being a pill popping dick and invest your time into something worthwhile.

In all honesty he should be tried, convicted, sent to prison and punished severely for his intent.

avant strangel,

you do realize that what you're saying is nothing less
than what the neocon-neodem cabal that has hijacked the american republic could be wishing for - as you seem to have adopted all their perverse, destructive principles? in looking for betterment, it makes sense not to repeat the negative examples, but look for positive solutions;
and it makes one wonder, how can a hundred million educated people, at behest of nebulous 'authority,' stop to count at THREE - when clearly there are FOUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES left in the race? and who says you're not free to assess in depth what each one is up to, and vote for your conscience and the future of your country, and the freedom of your mind in the end?

The loo-zer left is preparing another collapse & Rush is orchestrating a lot of the preparations. From the hateful Liberal Fascists on this thread, Rush seems to be making progress in driving, or rather putting, them crazier than they were before.

Get your big government crap out of the lives of hard-working people and get a life for yourselves. You're projecting your own drug use onto Rush & it shows.

Can't wait til November and another big Liberal Fascist loss.

LOL @ daveinboca -

Bitter much about the Grand Republican Failure?

I'm sure your reality is fun to consider, but its time to grow up.

The Republican government has been the Biggest "Big Government Crap" of all times, what makes you think that your extremists McCain wouldnt continue that like he has stated he would?

Are Debt, World Disorder, and being Traitors to the USA the only three things this extremist republican cult is good at? (well, and gay love, but thats really more on the "Family Values" topic.)

@ daveinboca -

What will that make the Republicans when they get their butt handed to them by the "loo-zer left" in November?

I voted Tuesday, in Indiana, and by my observations there were a great deal of Republicans voting Democratic.
Hillary didn't "win" in Indiana, not really, and she knows it. Operation Chaos gave her enough votes to squeak by Obama.
I didn't vote for Hillary in the hopes she would be more easily defeated by McCain becuase I wouldn't want to take the risk that I might help her eventually get back into the White House.
Bill was a national embarrassment to this country and I don't want to see either of them anywhere near the White House again. Does anyone really believe he will be better behaved as the First Husband? Why would anyone want to give them another chance to make a mockery of the Presidency again. If Obama is smart he will distance himself from Hillary (and not name her as his running mate) like he distanced himself from his minister when he became a liability. In my book Hillary is a bigger liability than his minister could ever possibly be.

This is all part of Rush's grand plan to deliver Mitt Romney to the White House. OOPS.
