"Dems: Send Rush to Costa Rica"
Posted: Mar 22, 2010
Democrats have found a new way to celebrate passing health reform: push Rush Limbaugh to follow through on his promise to head to Costa Rica for medical treatment.
A new Web site--ATicketForRush.com, built overnight and put online this morning--is collecting cash to buy Limbaugh a plane ticket to the Central American country.
"First, Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show that if the Healthcare Reform Bill passed, he would go to Costa Rica. Second, the Health care Reform Bill passed. As you can imagine, this has made a number of people very excited. We are among that number," site creators Mike Rugnetta and Patrick Davison write. "We want to make sure that Rush is able to make good on his promise, and so we've made this website."
On his show earlier this month, Limbaugh threatened to leave the country. "I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica," he said.
The web site is soliciting donations $1 at a time, and has promised to use the money for a first class ticket from Limbaugh's home airport of West Palm Beach, Fla., to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.
If Limbaugh decides not to emigrate south, Davison and Rugnetta say they'll give the money to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
"We thought to ourselves, well, what charity would make Rush Limbaugh the maddest if he found out that money under his name was going toward it?" Davison, a freelance digital artist, told POLITICO. "Gay rights would probably be the one that would fly in his face the most, but we thought that didn't really go with health care."

Well, he knows they have a better health care - system than we do.

Why Not Costa Rica? It's Much Closer To Jul 08, 2014
We are told that the children from Central America invading our southern border are seeking a life free of political persecution with opportunities to advance their educations. OK, I can understand that. What I can’t understand is why these children have to undergo the travails of threading their way through the iniquity and corruption of Mexico to attain their goals in the United States when there exists a very attractive alternative right in their own backyard. Way back in the late 1940 ...

To Send Or Not To Send Christmas Cards? SmDec 17, 2010
In the age of cell phones and computers, I figure that I would text Merry Christmas to everyone and/or send free e-cards via email or other social network sites. Some disagree with me that that is too informal, lazy, what have you. I do have some cards that I do send to people with no phone, PC, or do not have their number or email, i.e. elderly folks and neighbors. My thoughts on this are: A. I already pay for my cell phone and email so texting and e-cards are free. B. I can send the same car ...

U.S. To Send Delegation To Chavez's FuneralMar 07, 2013
The delegation will be rubbing elbows with a lot of enemies. Will the delegation even be allowed in the country? Guess time will tell. Venezuela’s long, weepy goodbye to Hugo Chavez carried on Thursday as foreign heads of state — and even a delegation sent by the Obama administration — made their way to Caracas in advance of Friday’s funeral. Venezuelan authorities have not said when Chavez will be laid to rest, nor exactly where. It was just one of many uncerta ...
House Democrats Send Wrong SignalNov 21, 2010
I think Pelosi's ego needs some downgrading. Our country does not need "me-me" politicians. We need to watch them closely (and I'm not just talking about Pelosi-even though I can't stand her) but this article shows how much she doesn't care for protocol or the rules. When the rules of the House of Representatives forced the Democrats to confront a painful choice among their leaders, they did what Democrats are often inclined to do. They changed the ru ...

Many Thanks To Rush ForAug 08, 2012
with advancing women’s reproductive rights issues and the part he played in Sandra Fluke’s securing a plum speaker’s spot during Obama’s stump stop in Denver. I recall how Michael Bennet D-CO won his purple-state senate seat in a tight 2010 contest against GOP challenger Ken Buck. It was the women’s vote that put him over the top in that race, since Buck was one of those vocal opponents to abortion rights for rape and incest victims, a stance that may ha ...
Rush Was Right - AgainJan 24, 2013
"If you listened to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, you got a better appreciation of Obama’s core than by reading the president’s friends and sophisticated interpreters, for whom he was either a moderate or a puzzle yet to be fully worked out. "Rush, et al., doubted that Obama could have emerged from the left-wing milieu of Hyde Park, become in short order the most liberal U.S. senator, run to Hillary Clinton’s left in the 2008 primaries and yet have been a misunderstoo ...
RUSHMay 04, 2014
Mr. Limbaugh should be very pleased with himself. He is an original and chooses to use his own words and not parrot anyone else. I've noticed on this board that a lot of the left wing radicals opt to use his words and phrases, such as drive bys or drive thrus, hit and runs, etc., etc. I wish I could remember them all. It is really giving me a chuckle. Thank you, libs, for the kicks and giggles. I'm sure Rush is pleased to know you are listening. :-) ...

This is a transcript of the video someone pieced together of Limbaugh’s diatribe, linked below.

As for why some is tolerated as “free speech” an ...
Rahm And Rush And Being PCFeb 04, 2010
Sarah Palin called out Rahm Emanuel because 6 months ago he used the word "retarded" to describe some people (democrats, by the way). He was wrong to use that dated term. When that made the news recently, he apologized and rightfully so. He publicly apologized to Tim Shriver, head of the Special Olympics, and a number of disability groups. Good. He shouldn't have used that language and he most definitely should have apologized. But what about Rush? He used the term repeatedly in talking ab ...

So Glad To See Rush LimbaughMar 06, 2012
to his knees. (probably needs help getting up.) I seem to remember him saying he would never apologize. The apology was inadequate though and I hope he continues to be hounded. He apologized for inappropriate wording and said it was not personal. He said things about this woman for 3 days -- including asking for sex tapes, saying her parents should be ashamed of her and saying she could barely walk due to over-sexing, and he apologizes for 2 words. Hopefu ...
For All Rush Limbaugh FansNov 20, 2009
Taken from a segment on Countdown on Wednesday. Laurence O'Donnell speaking about MSNBC and Keith Olbermann's involvment in the free health clinics that are being set up all over the country. The comparison between Keith Olbermann's personal contribution and Rush Limbaugh's over so generous contribution of a product he didn't even pay for should say it all. I guess the $400 million dollar man can't afford to give something personally . . . . O ...
