[BITList] Shock ‘n’ roll… radio DJs Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity dropped after ad boycott - Americas - World - The Independent

[M.j. Feltham]

Colin,

You say why should people believe the shit they spout.  Years ago they used to believe Reagan when he used to say that Texas is less than two days bus drive away from a Commie country, i.e. Nicaragua.  In other words be prepared to repel boarders !

Limbaugh is so powerful as to have been described as the leader of the republican party yet neither have any responsibility. Their simple message is the government is taking over and blacks are out to get your wife and daughter.

That’s how well it pays. More than 50% of politicians go on to make even more money as lobbyists. Last year $3.3 billion was spent on lobbying and there were 12411 registered lobbyists. This money is spread over 435 congress men and 100 senators so if my maths is correct that works out to be $6.168,000 each or over half a million per politician per month! Their pay is $174,000 p.a.
