    So you are calling his bride to be - a woman that you have never met or even know by reputation - a prostitute?

    Go away, Troll.

    Actually I think Rush is a pathetic figure, already having divorced three other wives. That is beyond sad. But being sad or not did not seem part of the OP or thread.

    To me Rush is a pathetic figure in many ways.

    All broken marriages are sad ... regardless of the reasons for the break.

    I've had only one wife .... for 48 years this August.

    I expect more out of myself than I do of anyone else. How about you?

    Funny how some are not excusing Rush by saying he is an entertainer. I said that some time back and many here took me to task for making that statement.

    He is an entertainer who has done much harm to this country and to the lives of many people.

    He has been a strong supporter of "family values" Republicians ... and yet he shows, IMHO, very poor family values.

    Yes, and you are a strong supporter of Christian values and yet IMO show a poor very example of that in your inconsistency in the reaction that you have to Rush's failings and Gore's similar failings.

    What does Gore have to do with this thread? The issue is Rush Limbaugh. If you think him a fine fellow, maybe you could be his best man.

    In another thread Crabby expressed sadness over the break up of Gore's marriage.

    He expressed an opinion there that the breakup of any marriage is a sad thing.

    He is not expressing the same sentiment concerning the break up of Rush's prior marrigages.

    I am calling Crabby on being inconsistent.


    Where did I say that Rush is a "fine fellow"?

    I notice that to be a typical tactic of yours - ascribe opinions to others which they have not expressed and then criticize them for it.

    Such a debate method is nothing more than talking to yourself.

    And is of about equal value to the discussion.

    Well, the very fact that you criticize Crab for comparing Gore to the situation and call BillWall a troll for him expressing his opinion about the marriage tells me you are a big supporter of his. On top of that, many of your posts have expressed support for the liberal agenda of Republicans.

    So there is no ascribing opinions that do not exist. As far as posts without substance, you are the first prize winner. At least Crab and Robert Snow state their opinion clearly, even though it is liberal. Your posts are all over the map, and one cannot tell what your stance is. If you were not interested in defending Rush Limbaugh, you would not have been in this thread criticizing others.

    That's quite a leap you made there.

    I almost said "leap of logic" but there is no logic to it what so ever.

    As to billwald - do you approve of his calling a woman that he has never met, does not know, and has never heard of before a prostitute? Because she is engaged?

    My posts are all over the map so you cannot tell what my stance is - but your putting words in my mouth to accuse me of something is not ascribing opinions?

    How does that foot taste anyway?

    Calling Crabby on his inconsistency is a matter of principle - not a matter of defending Rush.

    Mighty funny, three people are wrong and you are right. I would rather taste a foot than defend one of the most morally dengenerate people in America today. By the way, before you go back and forth with me on history, government or politics, look up the meaning of the words liberal, conservative, and read the Constitution.

    I stand corrected then.

    I don't listen to Limbaugh very much... maybe a few minutes a week while driving from one place to another during the lunch hour.

    I wonder what his understanding of being a Christian might be.

    Right in what regard? That the woman in question is a prostitute?

    Really? Based on what?

    Let me help you out here.

    I am defending the woman that Rush is engaged to - not Rush.


    Yes, I am quite aware of your self ascribed superiority to everyone else in the arena of constitutional thought. :rolleyes:

    I don't know. He has only mentioned it with vagueness. I have no idea if he is or not just that he has made the claim on more than one occasion. I have seen thing about his personal life that would convince me he is.

    I'm assuming you accidentally dropped the "no" in "nothing" in your last sentence.

    Hmm...

    The vagueness of his statements may give some credence to the chapel speaker I referred to earlier, since he apparently tried to get Limbaugh to clarify the issue during a lunch.

    I don't see anything in his personal life (as much as I know about it, which is not that much other than the wild allegations, the drug addiction problems and multiple marriages/relationships that have gone bad) to have confidence he is a follower of Jesus. His personal life seems to be a mess.

    There is a large portion of the Methodist community that has been crippled by classic theological liberalism (unbelief) where the rituals and language is nearly the same as believing Christianity, but the knowledge of God has been removed. If he was raised in an environment like that, his spiritual life would be vague and his life a mess.

    But that's just speculation.

    Okay, I did a little research on the incident.

    The assertion that there are prostitutes involved is completely unsupported unless you have evidence to the contrary.

    There are other explanations for him having Viagra available while he is traveling other than assuming there are prostitutes involved. I don't do this, and I'm assuming you don't do this, but many people "hook up" at resorts while on vacations for "one night stands" or even as the beginning to longer relationships.

    It's hardly something that anyone in this online community would approve of, but it is surprisingly common in our culture.

    So either produce evidence tying him to prostitution, or back off your statement.

    I stand by my comment. If you want to "back off" that's up to you. I choose not to do so.

    That's fine.

    We can assume that you know what Rush was doing in the Dominican Republic based on your personal experiences then.

    Since you have nothing else to go by.

    I see your point. I guess I should have considered that Rush was simply looking into selling Viagra in the Dominican Republic, nothing more. :laugh:

    So, by your logic, all people that possess Viagra are either hiring prostitutes or selling it? Can't you be open to the possibility that they are using the Viagra and not hiring prostitutes?

    Limbaugh goes to the Dominican Republic with Viagra. What do you think Rush was doing?

    It's been offered up by someone else that he was going there to hook up with women that he met there through non-prostitution methods. I think that's totally possible. I don't agree with or like the lifestyle, but I think it's a bit of a jump to automatically assume that he is hiring prostitutes.
