LOL! "People fought hard for that vote" the Democratic Party != the government. If Rush single handedly causes the two party system to fracture into three, four, or even a hundred parties, then I full hearted applaud him. The two party system as it stands now, sucks. We have 2 sides with losers for nominees. I don't want to vote for anyone this election.
One more thing, our solders didn't fight for our right to vote, they faught for our right to do whatever the heck we want, or freedom. Last I checked, voting however you like was one of those freedoms that they got us. If the system breaks because of it, then it was long overdue to be broken.

You do realize that more than soldiers died for the right to vote? Also, you do realize that there are plenty of things that are allowed/legal to be done, but are not morally right? I can go around calling everyone I see an asshole and giving them the finger because I am 'free' to do so, but does that make it right or ok.

I fail to see how this is illegal or immoral. Is letting a broken system continue on the moral thing to do just because that is the way it has been? You should note that a fair amount of our founding fathers faught against the two party system, and I think they where right. So anything that shows its weakness I support.
Really though, just like the republican caucus isn't related to the government at all (or really shouldn't be) neither is the democratic caucus. These are Private groups. What these people have done is akin to going to someones club house and voting for the club president nobody else is.

Assuming it's legal I don't really see a problem with it. It is underhanded but as mentioned above, are things really so fragile?
Anyway, Rush must be loving this attention.

If this becomes a problem, the almost certain "remedy" will be to go to closed primary systems. Won't have an iota of an effect in eliminating the two party system.
Frankly, its just one more example of Rush's self-centered, abusive personality-drug abuser, people abuser, political system abuser, it doesn't matter, so long as he personally benefits. Fortunately most people have a moral compass significantly different from that fat clown's.

I applaud Rush in that he did somehow give license to Hillary to begin beating up the Messiah, I mean Obama. The media thought all-along that they had their "rockstar" who could do no wrong, and if anyone dared criticize him, they would be labeled a racist. How dare you disagree, you must be a racist!
Now Obama has been bruised and bloodied, and I hope more gloves come off in the future.
I don't care what color or gender you are. I care about your political ideology and how flawed it is.

The tools are coming out of the woodwork now. Rush claiming he actually did this, and now Matthews adding credibility to Rush's fairy tale.

DailyKos did the same thing in telling dems to vote for romney, so no need for the fake outrage. And the "rush has a larger audience" argument doesn't excuse it. no one is going to get prosecuted for something like this anyway, and if they did, Rush has pledged to sponsor their defense.
Which brings an interesting point: if libs really want to hit Limbaugh where it hurts, they should try to get prosecuted for "Crossing over" and then milk Limbaugh dry when he subsidizes their lawyers!

excellent point. What's sad is, should BHO win, the far left will accuse McCain of playing the race card if the legitimate issue of Wright is brought up.
