First, getting married for the fourth time.

I thought conservatives had better family values.
Second, having Elton John sing at his wedding.

THought conservatives didn't support gays.
Third, be willing to spend a million bucks for a singer at his wedding.

Not showing good fiscal responsibility.

Some of the guys here probably had money in that million bucks. Elton John surely gave lots of it to gay causes, so that means these guys gave money to gay causes. Who woulda thunk it!

I don't have as much respect as I used to for Rush, for the reasons you mention, but I still tend to agree with his political analysis. If I had the kind of money and influence he has I'd likely screwup some of my personal life as well.

I like Rush. I'd vote for him if he ran.

I use to be a ditto head!~ Back before I didn't know any better. I know now, he like Glenn Beck is just a very smart entertainer, and shill for the GOP.

He loves it when a Democrat wins the Presidency, because he has more to work with.
I would vote for him if he ran..............Ran out of HOT AIR! But not for public office

I am guessing from the lack of responses that this one hit to close to home. Kind of hard to defend this behavior from a leading conservative pundit isn't it?

Rush loves to stir things up, he started doing this back in the 60's when he had a program on a local station in Cape Girardeau Missouri . he really knows how to get things moving

Rush Limbaugh is the Howard Stern of political talk radio and not to be taken seriously. Sure he is a hypocrite just like 99.999999999999999% of democrats are.

One thing I have noticed about the liberal parasite class is they hate successful people. I would imagine it is a self esteem issue withthe lazy parasite class.

OH! They have the Liberal counterparts Billy..............Bill Mayer,Rachel Maddow,Keith Oberman, Alan Colmes, Larry King. The list goes on, and just like the Republican mouthpieces......Oreilly, Rush, Glenn, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity and more, they are all full of it! They play to their listeners and pretend to be fair and balanced. If someone starts to shoot them down, they simply turn off the mic. and go to commercial break. These people are entertainers and prob. paid under the table as well by the GOP and DNC.

Wait.
What he did was exactly conservitive.
The fourth time getting married is a little excessive, but he does not have any kids with any of the women he has married.
hiring who ever he wants for entertainment at his wedding is too conservitive.
Being willing and able to pay is the first law of ecconomics. While Elton John would not make my entertainer of the year list, and Had I a million to spend on entertainment for my wedding ....
And what that entertainer does with the $ too is none of my business.
He is a very wealthy man and throwing a party is his business. I am happy he has the options to do what he wants to. He used his money unlike a few Democrats that have been more than happy to use Tax money or corperation money to have lavish parties.
I wish the liberals would stop trying to control what others do with their money. After all if rich people did not hire people for things they want, there would not be a middle class or economies of scale for products to get cheaper.

Marrying a fourth time a little excessive? For a person that publicly proclaims the importance of family values four marriages is very excessive, kid or no kids. Many Christian religions consider marriage after a divorce to be adultery.
Sure, he can hire who he wants but if it had been a well known "liberal" instead of Rush many on this board would have been all over it for supporting gays, etc.
He can spend his money like he wants but if conservatives want government out of health care, welfare, etc. he should put his money where his mouth is. I would be surprised if he has donated a million this year to churches and charities to help the poor and disabled.

I think you would be suprised at how much he donates to different charities. Far more of a Percentage than most Liberals that make similar ammounts, and definatly more than either Obama or Biden.
Does alamoney count as charity?

Family Values... code word for Christians who are wed to the Repub party, by that Gays and Abortion glue. The Repubs have gotten a good deal of mileage out of that, and cynically so. As Lee Atwater said to Christian 'conservatives' who wanted something: "you guys are sucking hind tit - you've got nowhere else to go" and waaaay too many people believe it.

Anyhow... Elton John is a great talent, and Rush has the money to burn, I guess. First album I ever bought was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, back in 1975 or so.

Rush is pretty good at what he does best, which is make socialist liberals very angry and stirs them up good, as evidenced by a couple posts above. I have to laugh...who else could pull that off, and make a ton of money to boot. He may not be all that, but he's smart, and knows how to pull people's strings. If they let him that is. As far as his money goes, seems he spreads it around which is good, also seems he gives to charities a lot more than the people who knock him and he don't brag about it so he must be OK in some areas. If you want to make his day, call him a racist, he and "BO" Snerdley will laugh it up all day long....let's face it, he lives for that kind of thing and is probably a better "baiter" than anyone around here will ever be. If anyone wants the exact opposite of Rush, just twist the dial for another entertainer. Seems not many people twist the dial though. Bottom line is, if your a good entertainer, you get good ratings, if your a lousy entertainer sending a left wing message, you need finacial help, maybe the lefties just need God to lend them some talent.

Hey everyone has good things and bad things...there is a whole lot worse than a good entertainer making money and spreading it around. He must have some talent to be the topic on this site.

Given that train of thought ....I suppose we should Burn Cat Stevens Records as well then .
And probably John Lennon's as well because of course he was a leftist liberal .
and I suppose my Springsteen , Carlos Santana, The Rolling Stones, and John Cougar Mellencamp would have to go as well (yep all Liberals).

BTW - July 27, 2010
Elton John didn’t mince words in slamming his fellow musicians for boycotting Arizona over the controversial SB 1070 immigration law. From the stage at his sold-out Tucson Arena concert Thursday night, John savored a few choice, not-so-family-friendly words:

“We are all very pleased to be playing in Arizona. I have read that some of the artists won’t come here. They are (expletive)wits! Let’s face it: I still play in California, and as a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever. So what’s the (expletive) with these people?”

John has never been one to cave into political pressure from his musical colleagues. He ignored an artist boycott of Israel in June over the flotilla fiasco and played a show in Tel Aviv. He also played Rush Limbaugh’s latest wedding reception in early June, which drew the ire of gays and lesbians.

But I guess liberals who claim they are for choice and compassion,are the first to denigrate others if they have different views. This also goes for diversity of opinion. They talk a great show as long as you agree with them. Have an opinion they don't like ,hell you might as well be satan.
