A few minutes ago Limbaugh played a Dasshole soundbyte that was unbelievable. It was so incredible that Rush played it back a second time.

The good Senator was having a press conference and talked about the importance and urgency of getting a Prescription Drug Plan passed. He said that every time he goes to his district in St. Louis, his constitutents keep asking about the status of such a plan.

In fact (according to Dasshole),his own mama keeps pushing him on it, and he alleged that she tells him that she can't get her drugs -- sooo...she wants to know what's going on with the plan, and keeps pushing her son on it.

Now think with me for a moment about this. Let's give Dasshole the benefit of a doubt and believe him on what he says. Here is a guy making about 600,000 big ones annually, and owns a little shack somewhere in North or South Carolina that is worth about 800,000 bucks. By making this kind of admission about his poor mama, he makes himself out to be a tightwad that would put Scrooge to shame -- one el cheapo wealthy person. With all HIS money, WHY doesn't he spare some change and buy *HIS OWN* mama the prescription drugs that he alleged she needs?

This is truly Classic Liberalism. Instead of a member of the Elite Class taking care of his own, Dasshole wants the government to take care of his mama -- with OUR tax dollars. Perhaps some liberal out there will explain to me why. What moral obligation do I have to assume any responsiblity whatsoever for his mama's drugs?

Waiting with bated breath...

Boxcar,

Dasshole (I love that name). Is that your name for him or did El Rushbo say that on the air.

What strikes me as funny is I just never could imagine a person with that kind of dough whining about the fact that his mother cannot afford persciption drugs. You are correct imo.

Maybe he will just let his mother die if the prescription drug plan does not pass soon.

I would like to know exactly how many of his constituents are pushing him one this one. Could be 2 or 2000 or 200000. Quite a few is a little misleading.

The guy never stops politicizing every little thing.

If he could be bipartisian just once maybe some of the issues would be taken care of.

Problem is, he wants it his way and no other. Seems like he forgets who the hell is in power.

boxcar,

I never could understand why the Demos wanted this guy as a leader of their party. There are so many others who could actually contribute to getting something worthwhile done. It's frustrating. Maybe getting rid of seniority rules or imposing term limits would improve the situation in Congress.

You're right about family (or charities) being a more desirable way to go than government handouts. But, as you point out, so many people ignore the needs of their families and charities act like it's their money to spend any way they chose (they must have learned that one from the government). I once tried to donate a working microwave oven to a charitable organization and was refused because it wasn't their kind of thing to sell. And this was one who pretends to take broken things and fix them in order to sell them. I finally decided to set it out by a dumpster at the motel we were staying in. It was gone in a couple of hours. Who needs 'em.

I believe that is a Boxcar original. Been using it for some time.

These libs have NO, and I mean NO -- shame. A guy with his kind of money should be ashamed and embarrassed to admit to reporters that he doesn't take care of his own mother.

But he'll only announce her death if can find a way to blame the Republicans for it.

Rush raised this very question. He doubts very many at all -- if any at all!

I'm all for setting term limits -- the SAME for everyone. Two four-year terms max. That's it.

This all relates right back to what we were discussing on that large thread. Indiscriminatory giving/spending v. principled giving/spending -- and how government agencies have proven time and again what lousy stewards they are with our money.

The Dems want a drug plan for _everyone_ regardless of their financial situation. Heck...there are plenty of seasoned citizens out there living very comfortably, and not in any need of a handout from the Feds.

Btw, a buddy of mine reminded me that Gore, during his campaign, also pulled the poor ol' mom routine. Gore unabashedly stated that his mom couldn't afford prescriptions either.

Methinks we should pass a law outlawing Limousine Liberals from ever holding office.

JesseV!!! · 06-12-2002, 08:01 PM

I'm all for term limits too. Think of the money that would be save if our budget didn't include massive retirement pay outs to both parties!

Didn't a Repulsive ever make the analogy of how our elderly is being over charged at the prescription counter? Is this the spin zone or WHAT?

I listen to rush long enough to hear a caller sign in with "A big F-350, 4X4, gas guzzlin mega dittos rush!". A guy like that makes me want to puke. It made me think of how people can call themselves good Americans, yet be so selfish and self centered. They can call this a great country, at the same time wanting to change it to something unrecognizable.
I guess it IS great in that guys like that get away with total stupidity on a sadistically successful show like rush's.
I said it before. Any show that only recognizes 2 parties, then pits one against another is useless. A total waste.
Another idiotic quote...from g. gordon lidy..."the air coming out of todays cars is cleaner than the air going in."!!! How can you take retards serious?

Was it ronny reagan that dismantled the mental institutions, turning 10s of thousands loose on the streets? That was brilliant! He had to dig himself out of a massive deficit, no matter what the cost. Next time a homless, mental case bugs you for beer money. Thank ronny.

I guess that if I lean from the middle, towards a country that takes care of it's own, I'm a liberal. Fine. Who cares what a right winger thinks? As long as we know...There is no such thing as 0% unemployment (lefty). We can't go back to the lawless, horse & buggy days.
The far right will never have their extremist way. It's impossible! Get over it.
Come together. reinstate pride and respect back into our society. Except that socialism lite is good. It shows that we care about our own people.
That's why it's GREAT!!!! NOT because of our selfish.

Back in a week or so....

I love it.

Would "socialism lite" still be potent enough to take care of the mommies of Gore and Dasshole?

Lefty · 06-12-2002, 08:31 PM

It was the other one, Gephardt that was going on about his mother. He's full of stories about his rich friends, his mother and his constituents. Rush said, "Richard help your poor mother out. How cheap can you be?" The Rush statement is a paraphrase. I don't like Dasshole but it was the blond asshole this time.

Lefty · 06-12-2002, 08:33 PM

It wasn't Dasshole that made the "mother" statement. It was the blond asshole, Gephardt.

Lefty · 06-12-2002, 08:36 PM

Didn't mean to post twice. Thght the prev. msg. disappeared into the ether. Sorry.

boxcar · 06-12-2002, 08:45 PM

Are you absolutely sure, Lefty? I swore that it was Dasshole's voice on the playbacks. I take it that you listened to Rush today?

It is nice to see that so many of them have found work in the House and Senate!<G>

Serioulsy, to blame anything now on Ronny is a little lame-Billy-Boy Clinton had two terms to undo all the evil unleashed by the horrible Ray-Gun administration and yet he was so fixated on his zipper that he only had time wash his hands and lie.

Boxcar - Dasshole and Get-Heard are the same person....two bodies, one mind, shared. When one has the mind in his head, the other does the talking <G>.

Was this supposed to be "accept" instead of except? Now I cannot believe that you are advocating just a little socialism?
Re-distribution of wealth is ok in the form of charity I guess. But the forced re-distribution is the problem with Liberal programs. Blaming Ron Reagan for todays problems is a common tactic of Liberals. Just wondered if you can find fault with Reagan and how he toppled the Soviet Union? Oh yeah.....that was just a little socialism too.........

Rick · 06-13-2002, 12:58 AM

I guess Russia must have capitalism lite now then.

Look at our health care system now though. It's essentially already socialized in that hospitals are required to take indigents as an emergency room patients. It just costs a lot more to do it that way. We need to find a more affordable and effective solution than that.

Must be 'cause I really did confuse the two. But on further reflection Lefty is right. It must have been Gephardt who was spinning tales of woe about poor ol' mom. I do remember hearing the words "district" and "St. Louis", and Gep is a congressman from MO. Dasshole is a senator from So. Dakota, I think.

But you're right. My point was still valid.

All that is left to solve now is who stole a page from whose playbook? Did Gore steal the "poor ol' mom" routine from Gep or did Gep rob Gore?
