- All 36% of the the moderates are liberals in disguise.... Here,
- Slick Limby is suggesting that liberals are all trying to make the
- results look more even by claiming that they are objective/moderate,
- but that conservatives don't try to do just the opposite.
-
- Usually Slick Limby is slicker than this, but I guess anything goes
- now that Clinton has won the election. I like his argument against
- gays in the military. They shouldn't be allowed because the people
- in the military say that it's disrupting, etc. Does that mean if
- General Motors said that gays cause a disruption on the assembly
- lines that we should ban them from employment there, too? I'm not
- arguing for or against the issue. I'm just noting the way Rush
- presents this. It's like "See? The military experts say .....!
- Who are YOU to believe anything but the 'cold hard truth' that I
- have presented?" I guess we have to accept this as gospel truth,
- but reject the results of a poll based on REAL facts.
