Rush Limbaugh orders Colin Powell out of the Republican Party
:crazy:

Just listening to a replay of K.O., and he had a snippet from the Limbaugh show, calling Colin Powell a liberal, and telling him to leave the Republican Party..

They are coming apart right before our eyes.

4. That was not the half of it.. another commentator on the K.O. show
suggested we should send a couple of democrats to the republicans to help them stop the bleeding ..

2. Cool. I'd rather have Colin Powell on our side anyway.
Though it shouldn't be about sides, Limbaugh is probably stoned on oxycontin again and happy he believes he's worth even 1/10th his salary for... what does he really do for a living since he bashes other people who do things he deems aren't productive? :think:

5. You know, we should be sending Rush a check for all the Democrats
he has sent our way. What a recruitment tool he has become.. who wants to be in a party that claims Limbaugh as one of its biggest voices

6. I hope ole Rush continues to attack the rock solid Republicans
like Colin Powell because he will ensure the final demise of the Republican party and forever make them a fringe terrorist right wing group. They are on the verge......:popcorn:

7. Powell's a Republican through and through
he went to the U.N. and knowingly helped lie us into Bush's war (and let's not forget he helped cover up My Lai) that sounds like a Republican to me. He knew what Bushco was doing was wrong but he didn't have the guts to stand up and do what was right.

The Republicans can keep him - I'm tired of them moving over to our party and messing it up we've got too many DINOs now.

14. I like it that the Republicans now have their own Purity Czar
and that Rush is it.

Bristol Palin was getting a little boring as purity Czar.

15. Is there any reason why when watching Limpballs on video
he seems to go all ballistic and every once in a while pulls at his shirt? I noticed this on KO tonight and it really seems strange

16. Well, that settles that. Boss Limbaugh has spoken.
No need for analysis or comment.

His Lardship has spoken. It shall be made so.

17. I admire him
For a fat, out-of-shape, drug addict, he sure is good at digging the hole the Repubs are in. I admire him so much, I want to give him a bigger shovel. :rofl:

19. I'm starting to think that Rush and Barack are in cahoots....
.... esp. after this latest episode with Cantor.

http://www.wowowow.com/politics/eric-cantor-retracts-listening-tour-after-rush-limbaugh-criticism-video-287884

Otherwise, it's just getting too unbelievable to be true, the way Rush is taking the GOP out, one member at a time while we just sit back and watch.

I'm betting no.

24. How long will it be before Rush orders Michael Steele out of the party?
Michael STeele is just a figurehead according to Rush. Maybe Alan Keyes will be next to be ordered to leave. Maybe Condi Rice? sounds like Rush just wants to whitewash the party.
