	Well, they do at least as well as where ever you went to school,
John. We've been talking about unemployment and job growth for months,
and you still think that unemployment was high in the late 70s. Not only
did you miss that part in history class, you've been unable to learn
anything since.

	Again, for the slow:

	Unemployment during the Carter years never went above the high
6's, and there were more new jobs under Jimmy Carter then either of
Reagans terms. (13M+ as opposed to 7M and 12M for Reagans first and 
second term, respectively).

	Sure, inflation is down, but job growth had been *NEGATIVE* over
a *FOUR YEAR PERIOD*. Low inflation doesn't help if you can't get a job.
It even gets worse: Saleried positions have been giving way to hourly
positions at a steady clip - this means that while many people are still
employed, the quality of the job has been lower, the salary has been lower
and the benifits have been fewer.

	Inflation was bad under Carter, but at least the GNP grew to
help make up for it. GNP growth under Carter was higher then any time 
during the 80's (yea, largly due to inflation, but also due to the massive
number of new jobs). 

	Life's gotta get weird after so long behind the Rush filter - maybe
you should come out for air once in a while?

    Perhaps not. I thought that Clinton sounded much better this time 
around. He's obviously more comfortable with that open format. I loved 
the post-debate question that NBC asked Bush; "Did you achieve what you 
wanted in this debate?" Bush's response of "Gee, I dunno" seemed very 
candid.

    Here again, perhaps. I thought that to the extent that Quayle exceeded 
peoples' expectations he really did win points from that debate, even if he 
wasn't the hands-down winner of the debate overall.

alt.talk-radio (originally proposed April 1992)
--------------

(Alternate names for this newsgroup would include alt.radio.talk and
alt.radio.news-talk)

I originally was thinking of the name alt.talk-shows, but came to the
conclusion that the group would be swamped with people wanting to talk
about last night's Arsenio Hell show.  I first thought of this idea
about a year and a half ago.  Someone first proposed the idea of a talk
radio newsgroup to here before me, so it's been around this newsgroup at
least a few times before.  Back in 1990, during the early days of
alt.rush-limbaugh, there was a lot of discussion about how there should
be a separate group for every major talk show host out there. 
Thankfully, that never came to any fruition.  But there does appear to
some degree to be a demand for discussion about radio talk shows, and I 
don't think either of the Rush Limbaugh groups is appropriate for having
discussions about the shows of other hosts.  So, here we are.  Talk 
shows, anywhere, either national, regional or local, as well as 
discussion about the hosts of these shows and the intracacies of this 
genre of radio.

If alt.radio.news-talk is decided to be the best name, then add in with
the above the whole phenomenon of "news/talk" radio.

Not at all.  What I *do* think is that you are a typical liberal:  You are
pleased as punch to praise the "questioning of traditional values" so long
as they're not *your* values.  How pathetic.  You're all for the pushing of
boundaries that you don't care for, claiming to be some sort of "free thinker"
but in fact, you are a small-minded bigot who ridicules people who don't
share your rigid sexual code.  How hypocritical and disgusting.  Also, how
typical.

First, the Moral Majority (the organization) disbanded years ago.  What
is so disturbing about you is that you display precisely the same attitude
toward your own sacred cows as those bigots, but you think that (unlike the
MM) *your* sacred cows really are sacred.  What a myopic joke you are. You
think that those who don't share your views are (to use your own terms)
"sick."  Sound familiar, Ms. Open-Minded?

Your first encounter with the wit and wisdom of Rush, I take it?

>I think sex should be
>for enjoyment, not for humiliation, whatever Rush Limbaugh may think.

Rush is doing a great job of reinforcing all the stereotypes about 
far-right-wingers' attitudes about women:

   - His comment about the woman in the bimbo outfit who brought out
     the dog-in-the-box on his TV show.  He wished that women were
     more like dogs, devoted, always affectionate, etc., as opposed
     to cats, who, when you call for them, "give you a look like 'go
     to hell'." [approx quote]

   - His comment about Barbie dolls today (Tues) on the radio show.
     He said something about Mattel fixing the "non-PC" ("math class
     is tough") Barbies so they didn't make any sound at all.  Rush
     said he knew a lot of husbands who wished that their wives were
     fixed that way [insert typical piggish snicker/laugh here].  He
     then proceeded to wrestle a liberal strawman to the floor and beat
     the hell out of it.  It was really impressive.

   - A steady stream of incredibly dated remarks about how women, after
     a short while in a relationship, won't let the boyfriend/husband 
     watch his football game on TV.  One of these was in reference to why
     he thinks marriage isn't so great.  Does Rush think that women are 
     solely for emptying the ashtrays and fetching cold brews at The Guys'
     Poker Game, or what?

I applaud Rush for continuing to make pompous, sexist, bigoted far-right-
wingers look extremely dated and foolish.

Too bad he pulled another Quayle....
Refering to the 100 billion dollars necessary to be spent on the
environment, quoting Gore's book, he forgot to mention that in th
ebook itself Gore addresses this problem, stating that a martshal
plan is needed but then points out that a marshal plan would cost
about 100 billion dollars right now, something too big even for the
US and that this should be a global effort.
Wonderful to hear that Quayle didn't know about the factory in
Tennessee and about Gore's voting record. But what can one expect ?
Nevertheless Quayle outdid himself, no real emberassments, a real
vide-presidential candidate... Really ????
Maybe he is the best thing the Bush campaign has left over.
Really impressive how Gore pointed out all the people that Bush is
going to fire and appoint to save the economy followed by the
question, so Dan where do you fit in all of these plans...????

I dunno. I get in trouble with hardcore Christians because I'm no
bible fanatic. 

I generally am more of a fan of evolutionism than creationism, so
whether or not the Bible is true, is of no consequence to me, until
someone starts bashing Christians and making comments about them. 
If they can get on Jesse Jackson for his "Hymietown," I think it can
be just as wrong to call someone "Bible-Thumper."
