He employs deception to sway the voting public. Why would he be considered a "good conservative" ?? Does this mean that misdirection and misinformation are acceptable to conservatives as a means to an end? The conservative people I happen to know are honest hard working Americans who value truth and democracy. These good people would never agree to win elections thru the use of false statements and distortions, rather they would insist on a well informed public voting for a strong stable, prosperous country!

“I have been a profile in courage on this story,” declared Limbaugh on his national radio show yesterday. “When it comes to the UAE or the Middle East: I do not believe that every Arab nation, government, sponsors terrorism. I don’t believe they all are for it. I don’t believe they secretly fund it. I think this story about the two or three of the 9-11 hijackers came out of the UAE, they may have.

“The London bomber was a British citizen. We have had homegrown criminals in this country try to blow up buildings and commit crime in this country. The idea that the United Arab Emirates government recruited those three hijackers, trained them and paid for them is not true. Just because they came out of there, I’m not willing to cast negative aspersions on a whole country.”

Limbaugh said he was hearing a lot of fear about control of the ports, but said “fear causes all kinds of distortions when it comes to reason.”

He also said economics is the driving force behind the deal, and the port operators, Dubai Ports World, would be the last ones seeking a terrorist-related incident at one of its locations.

“As far as the UAE is concerned, if this is really about compromising our security or really about finding a way to do another 9-11, there’s simpler ways of doing it and cheaper and then there are also ways of doing it to where the light of attention doesn’t shine back on them after the futuristic event. Why in the world would they want to do this as a way of perpetrating another act of mass terrorism, knowing full well that the world is going to blame them and we are going to blame them?”

You’re either for Ron Paul, or you’re for Rush Limbaugh. Not both.

Respect other people but I hope Rush dies. You sound just as F'd up as that so-called president, Obama. Say one thing but mean another. Are you just another liberal plant trolling real American sites? Why don't you just move to Europe and live with the rest of slimey, stinky, socialist Marxists? I'm sick of people like you polluting my great country. Yeah, real bright. Respect other people but I hope Rush dies. You sound just as F’d up as that so-called president, Obama.

If we don't come together as a nation, as a simple and free people, and put aside our semantics and our ideologies once and for all, there won't be an America or a Constitution left to defend or a First Amendment with which to yell and scream at each other about.Who cares if so and so is wrong and he-said-she-said that, what's done is done and now we have to figure out how to stop this momentum of madness and undo the decades of policy mistakes and misleadings...this wasn't just Bush, it wasn't just Clinton. And now Obama is just an easy poster child of 'change' that's going to lead us out of a democracy (if you can still call our country that).Enough with the talking heads and let's start writing our Congressmen, talking with our friends and neighbors, organizing our communities, exposing the lies and asking everyone to demand the truth and most importantly, stick together. Our government has stopped listening to us because we stopped paying attention, and caring, and now they're just doing what's in the interest of the corporation, not the people. Arguing about how we got here and pointing fingers is not going to solve the problem. We got here. Now let's get out. Doesn't anyone remember 'divided we fall united we stand'? They want us divided- all the easier to conquer.If President Obama could get elected through his 'grassroots' internet campaign and knocking on doors and canvassing the streets, then can't we do the same to protect our sovereignty? I think, unfortunately, the majority of Americans haven't got a clue as to how dangerously close we are to losing this precious idea of a nation. What a shame if we don't at least try to fight to keep it. And we wonder how Germany could have fallen so easily under Hitler? Just look at us today. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it'. Amen. Dr. Paul is just so cool; I love how he simply ignored the bait and kept bringing his point to the real issues at hand and why no one (the media) is willing to discuss what the real problems are.

Its would be easy for him just to get caught up in the BS, yet once again Ron Paul reminds me of why I voted for him. I only pray that he runs again in 2012.
