The dirty little secret is that Democrat votes in the Democrat primary don’t even count!
Rush Limbaugh, making the point that votes in the Democratic presidential primary campaign don’t count, or at least don’t count for much, due to the Democratic Party’s use of superdelegates, which trump ordinary voters
"The dirty little secret is that Democrat votes in the Democrat primary don’t even count! Have you heard of superdelegates? They’re there to prevent stupid Democrat voters from nominating somebody like George McGovern or Jimmy Carter!”

I’m an individualist
Rush Limbaugh, using the occasion of Senator Barack Obama’s speech on ‘racial healing’ to comment on individualism, and how individualism holds the individual responsible for his actions, rather than excusing them.
"I’m an individualist. I don’t want to be told that I am who I am because of people way back in my family or the genetic code that led me to be born the way I’m born, because that gives me an excuse for being whatever reprobate I want to be.”

neither Obama nor Hillary is running on the truth
Rush Limbaugh’s take on what Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton are running on in their presidential campaigns
"I can’t say with confidence the nominee’s going to be Obama, but I am wise enough to know this: neither Obama nor Hillary is running on the truth. Mrs. Clinton is not experienced, and Mr. Obama is not a man who can unite us.”

You know, Hillary, if you’re going to lie about this Bosnia trip, just say that you were confused
Rush Limbaugh on Hillary Clinton being caught in a lie—I mean, misstatement—about landing in Bosnia during the Clinton administration and being under sniper fire, when no such time happened.
"You know, Hillary, if you’re going to lie about this Bosnia trip, just say that you were confused—that you were watching sniper fire on the in-flight movie and that’s where you got the idea for it.”

you have to listen to people who have been alive a long time.
Rush Limbaugh on the value of spending time with senior citizens—or, as he calls them, ‘seasoned citizens’
"A lot of young people look at seasoned citizens and say: ‘I don’t want to hang around grandma—it’s not cool.’ But, boy, you have to listen to people who have been alive a long time.”

Liberalism, the most gutless choice a human being can make
That’s right, MSNBC is thinking about hiring Rosie O’Donnell. MSNBC executives say that they’re not necessarily purposely going left to compete with Fox. That it just happens. Well, you know, they may be more right than they are wrong. Let me give you a little profundity here, folks. Any group, any person that is not by definition conservative will become liberal. Liberalism is the easiest choice in the world. It is the most gutless choice you could make, because you don’t have to do anything. All you have to do as a liberal is notice a problem, wail, and whine, and moan about it and claim that you care, and you’ll feel good about yourself and you’ll convince others that you have a big heart. Conservatism is an intellectual application that requires action to implement, to maintain, and to explain. It’s tough. Liberalism, the most gutless choice a human being can make.

Social Security is far, far and away beyond what it was ever intended to be
Rush Limbaugh on FDR’s original purpose for Social Security
"Social Security is far, far and away beyond what it was ever intended to be. Well, I take that back. I think FDR knew exactly what he wanted and he got it: something that gets Democrats elected every four years as often as possible.”

His speech was an act of political necessity, not courage
Rush Limbaugh commenting on Senator Barack Obama’s speech on ‘racial healing’
"America has transcended race; there is so much evidence of that that I don’t even want to waste time citing it. But Barack Obama’s church hasn’t. His speech was an act of political necessity, not courage.”

It is a great example of groupthink.
Well, when you compare conservative radio to liberal radio, you come to that conclusion. What you have to do is compare conservative talk radio to ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC cable, CNN cable, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe—pick your paper—TIME Magazine, Newsweek—pick your magazine. That’s what we’re up against. Now, they used to have a monopoly. They don’t have a monopoly anymore, but they’re still big—and they coordinate, by the way. Have you ever noticed if you watch the CBS Evening News, the first two stories or three will always be the same—on every network, with the same take? You don’t need to watch any of them. You can know what they’re all doing by watching one. It’s striking. It is a great example of groupthink.

You only get one life, and you have to make the most of it
Rush Limbaugh, on making the most out of life
"We all go through life not being liked by people, but you don’t surrender power to those people to reshape your life in bitterness and rage for the rest of your days. You only get one life, and you have to make the most of it—and with conservatism you can.”

Barack Obama blamed Jeremiah Wright’s hatred on his generation…
Rush Limbaugh commenting on Senator Barack Obama’s speech on ‘racial healing’, dealing with the racist statements of the Senator’s minister, Jeremiah Wright
"Barack Obama blamed Jeremiah Wright’s hatred on his generation, but there were a lot of blacks who grew up in the 50s and 60s who did not become Jeremiah Wright. Just because you grew up then does not entitle you to hate the country and build a ministry around it.”

There has been a coordinated assault on this mission because of politics
It’s a crying shame that that statement that I just made surprises so many people. There has been a coordinated assault on this mission because of politics— for the last four years, and in the midst of that assault, the uniformed personnel, the boots on the ground, have also taken flak. They have been impugned by various Democrats that’s been reported in the media. Do I need to mention names? Jack Murtha. You know, all of these—baseless now—accusations about these uniformed people being rapists and murderers, all these phony soldiers that have come along who have never been to Iraq, said they were there. Lie, after lie, after lie. And that has been one of the things that’s been so sickening to so many about this, is that the political opposition to the war has included attacks on people who are volunteering to sacrifice their lives for the national security of this country. It is unconscionable to all of us, and far more people than you know share the view that I just expressed to you.
