Is Rush Limbaugh's "Operation: Chaos" working in keeping Hillary in and creating "chaos" in the Dem party?

Question

Additional Details

Operation: Chaos is a plan to keep the Dems guessing as to who will be their candidate all the way to the convention. Reps know their nominee. McCain. Rush asked his listeners to vote Hillary so as to keep her in the race. It seemed to work in Texas and Ohio. It turned a tie into a Clinton win in Texas.

I have now heard that Republicans are now registering as Democrats to vote Hillary in the states that have a closed primary (vote your own party only).

Brokered Democrat Convention?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I think it's working all too well.

Hillary's last-minute surge in Texas was fueled by Rush fans voting for her. It has three valuable possibilities for the GOP:

1) It keeps the Dems spending time and money fighting each other while McCain raises money for the general election.

2) It encourges Clinton and Obama to continue to tear each other down, doing the GOP's dirty work for them, and lessening Democratic chances in November.

3) It MIGHT give Hillary the nomination - and I think the GOP would much rather have Hillary as an opponent. McCain isn't conservative enough to mobilize the party base - but nothing will bring Republicans out to vote more than a chance to defeat a Clinton.

If Hillary placed America and Democratic ideals above her own personal ambitions, she would withdraw from the race and let Obama start working on defeating McCain. But she's got too much ego to let go of the possibility as long as there's even a chance to win.

Answer 2

Now you're talking.

The media is supporting the Neocons and want McCain to win.

That's what the pastor thing is all about, too. Brian Ross at ABC created it, Bob Schieffer at CBS tried to keep it going. The Cable news stations all repeated the tape over and over all day long.

It's all a trick.

Answer 3

It sure as hell worked in Florida and Michigan. They were the only two states that had more republicans vote than democrats. Do you think that's a coincidence?

Answer 4

Have not heard of it, but it sounds like an awesome plan!

Answer 5

I don't know what you're talking about, as I don't listen to drug addicts whose drugs have obviously effected their thought process. I will say that chaos is the only thing, besides drugs, that has been going on inside the brain of that moron (or what remains of that brain, after all those drugs took effect).

Answer 6

Rush can't lose. If Clinton gets into office, he can bash her for the next 4 years while his retarded listeners ditto him. McCain is what he really wants but he will bash him too for being too conservative.

Answer 8

Creating Chaos in the Democratic party is like creating saltwater in the middle of the Pacific.

Rush Limbaugh did not create the silly "superdeligate" rules the Dems use.

Rush Limbaugh did not make the Dems ditch a "winner take all" rule in order to be more fair and pass out deligates by how many Congressional districts you win and how many Democrats voted there in the last election.

Rush Limbaugh did not set up caucuses that come after primaries so Dems can vote twice.

Rush Limbaugh did not make Florida and Michigan ignore Howard Dean and hold their primary early.

It wasn't Rush Limbaugh that decided Hillary would be on the Ballot in Michigan and Obama wouldn't.

Rush Limbaugh did not say that the Democrats who voted in Forida and Michigan weren't worthy of having their votes count.

Rush Limbaugh did not torpedo the Florida Democratic Party's mail in vote plan.

Rush Limbaugh is not blocking the Michigan revote plan in the Michigan legislature.

Rush Limbaugh is not making the big money donors in Florida complain about their votes not being counted.

Rush Limbaugh is not pushing Obama and Hillary to settle this with a backroom deal where NOBODY's vote counts (not very "democratic") and deligates get passed out like candy.

This chaos is the Democratic Party working under Democratic Party rules running the Democratic primaries with Democratic candidates and Democratic voters.

This whole mess is just another example of what happens when you put Democrats in charge of ANYTHING.

They can't run Congress, they can't run the White House, they can't run America... they can't even run their own PARTY for goodness sake!... and then they blame someone else!

I can't improve on Chredon's answer!

Answer 10

According to the CNN exit polls of Texas, Obama won the Republican cross over votes 53% to Hillary's 46%. He split the independent vote with her 49% to 48%. She easily won the democratic vote 53% to 46%. In Ohio, the exit polls show that Obama and Hillary evenly split the Republican votes 49% to 49%, and Obama won the independents 50% to 48%, again Hillary is the favorite among real democrats winning 56% to 42%.

The idea that Limbaugh is successfully making Republicans vote for Hillary to make her win is ridiculous. It is obviously only a way for Limbaugh to give himself credit for the fact that Bush has alienated his own party and they are now turning to democrats. If only democrats were allowed to vote, Hillary would've already won the nomination.

Pennsylvania is a closed primary which means that Republicans and Independents aren't allowed to vote unless they have changed their party affiliation to democrat. Obama has a campaign to register as many as possible, doing exactly the same as what Limbaugh is doing. He even has ads out to do this. On the Pennsylvania Primary voter's guide it says "Closed primaries are a unique example of a political party"s interest in keeping active participation in the party going strong." So is the strength of the democratic party, Obama's main goal here? It seems he and Limbaugh are on the same team.

"God bless America? No, No, No, God D@MN America!"

Jeremiah Write-
Berry Obama's Pastor for the last 20 years.

A deadly splinter in the placid facade of the supposedly race neutral candidate with no ax to grind...

Berry is toast,
as is Hillary; for obvious reasons.

Viva la President McCain!!
