People were calling Congress to complain and they got a busy signal?
Maybe James O’Keefe should go undercover to investigate…

Michael Harrison, editor of the trade magazine “Talkers” estimated that Rush averages 14.2 million listeners but could have as many as 25 million during periods like this week when there is an especially hot political issue.

However, whether or not his listeners shut down the Capitol switchboard doesn’t really matter since the unscrupulous, unprincipled and undemocratic Democratic Party is bent on taking over the health care industry.

Rush isn’t the only one who is angry. Obama’s approval rating has dropped five percent in just ten days.

And I understand that the next poll will be even worse…because respondents will be allowed to deem their opinion rather than cast an official vote.

Destroying, blocking, jamming and shady practices…the only thing conservatives do these days.

Right m, Liberals never Deem themselves to shady tactics to Reconcile a problem.

Indeed, and they are pretty efficient at it. I imagine they could have successfully slowed down the Minute Men considerably in 1776, and taken joy in doing so.

M, you should go back to STNG and move in with Q…

By the way, Rush’s call to jam the House Switchboard is working…. I called and there was about 20 seconds of dead air then it went to the busy signal… Keep it up, Rushfans!

lol, Real Royal King
What do you think the Minute men were. They were anti government, they did not want the British King telling them what to do.
I doubt the conservatives would be the ones stopping the Minute Men. It would be you guys on the left trying to make sexual innuendo about there names or calling them dumb just about everything you are doing to the people now days trying to protest our government .

Honestly TRRK, how can you take the moral high ground after:

the payoff to get Blanche Lincoln’s vote
the payoff to get Ben Nelson’s vote
Scott Matheson getting a judgeship in order to secure a vote from his brother Jim Matheson
the President’s chief of staff threatening people in the nude in the shower
the lie about broadcasting the process on C-SPAN, repeated over and over again by Obama
the phony accounting which mismatches costs and revenues to hide the deficits caused by this bill
the move to reconciliation after Scott Brown’s election
the call for an up-or-down vote…until it became clear that Obama couldn’t win an up–or-down vote
the attempt now to pass the bill without a direct vote
Etc. etc. etc.

What a joke to complain that citizens are actually daring to call their representative. Maybe you want a secret ballot next? Or why have a vote at all? Your candidate called for transparency, and instead has given us the dirties, filthiest lawmaking process in modern history. And you complain about voters who express their opinion?

Rush asked his listeners to call their congressman and voice their opinion. He didn’t ask them to “jam the switchboard” but rather to speak their voice.

“m”, “Real King”–I don’t understand why this would be considered an untoward behavior, other than because you might disagree with the opinion being expressed?

Get back to me when he and his phone buddies stop healthcare from passing!

The left doesn’t want to debate with conservatives. They want to silence conservatives. Hence they attack voters for simply phoning their Representative. Same reason why they get so angry at the tea parties, town hall meetings, etc. Same reason why they were angry at the recent Supreme Court ruling on freedom of speech. They approve of free speech….but only for themselves.

A half million people tried to call their representative yesterday to urge a no vote on the health care bill.

Or, I guess I should say, they urged a no “deem-and-pass”….

You mean with 1.5% of Americans watching Beck, the best FOX could come up with was .02% to call? Most unimpressive return.

There it is again TRRK, the conundrum that is FOX. One post, they’re capable of swaying the entire american pschye, in the next post only 1.5% of 300 million pay attention to them.

Would you guys make up your mind already? re they important or a non issue? You can’t have both.

Timzank – you have to forgive TRRK. Since he posts here as both TRRK and MrBovineKoldys, he gets confused.

How dare Limbaugh use his power to artificially provoke a reaction in D.C. and prevent progress, although he has a microscopic audience that most of America ignores.

This is the same paradox logic we expect from the left: Rush is the defacto voice of the Republican party, and he is nothing more than an “entertainer” who has no real influence. George Bush was a complete moron who could not tie his own shoes and was the same person who deceived the entire Democrat party, the UN, and all the indstrialized nation’s leaders with his devious war plot. The Republican party wants to be jack-booted totalitarians while only making deregulation decisions based on corporate wishes.

I’m still wrestling with people wanting to legalize marijuana while working to ban tabacco.

Patsy, shut up.

Those were not all Rush listeners jamming the phone lines. A lot of people, including myself, called congress and our representatives in support of HCR.

Another proud moment in GOPster history. “Onward Christian Soldiers.”

@ m So, you think “Destroying, blocking, jamming and shady practices…the only thing conservatives do these days.” Have you ever heard of “deem and pass” bozo? What’s jamming the phone lines in comparison to shredding the Constitutiion? It is very difficult to remain civil with myopic morons such as yourself.
