Rush Limbaugh is calling on his listeners to keep the election date a secret from the poorest Americans.
Ninety-nine days, folks, the conservative radio host announced on Monday. Ninety-nine days before the election. If you are a welfare recipient, thats just a little more than three checks.
Maybe we shouldnt remind people, he added after thinking about it. We shouldnt remind people on welfare when the election is. That may not be something we want to actually do.
Earlier this month, Limbaugh suggested that President Barack Obama was plotting to win reelection with new rules that allow states to apply for waivers to work requirements under the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program.

After all, those corporates take A LOT more in welfare than some people who need some minor help.
I'm hip to that idea.

How about telling Republicans that their voting place for this election is their birthplace?

And Rush HIMSELF was on welfare, between jobs during the 80's.
