Good thing Rush Limbaugh has big shoulders. He’ll need them now
that Barack Obama and his Clintonista reunion band have put the
full weight of the Unites States government on top of him.
It’s great that maestros of slime like Begala, Carville and
Greenberg (What? Did Sidney Blumenthal miss the reunion lunch?)
are able to get their young Bartlebys in the press to trumpet in
breathless tones their genius for having President Obama and the
House and Senate Democrats target Rush as the centerpiece of
their “distract America campaign.” But like their “Vast Right
Wing Conspiracy” campaign back in 1993-1994, “Rush is the
Republican Party” will backfire by ultimately re-booting the
conservative movement.
It’s really remarkable that the Clintons and Obamas didn’t find
themselves as soul mates sooner. After all, they both love the
political tactic of ding-dong-ditch at the front door while
sneaking through the side window.
Team Obama, made up mostly of the warmed-over leftovers from Team
Clinton, is drawing from that old Clinton gambit in the La
Affaire Limbaugh. Team Obama is using Rush to distract the
American public from what they really want to do: regulatory
impositions at the Federal Communications Commission on media
ownership, local media diversity and content requirements for
station licensing, which will in effect impose a kind of
“Fairness Doctrine” without calling it as such.
But here’s the problem: Rush is a smart man, who has understood
his role in this whole ridiculous media drama, and is willing to
play along, because with 20 million listeners, a host of bloggers
and local and syndicated radio hosts who admire and support him,
he can more than deal with this amateurish PR offensive. If
nothing else, he may actually get some better ratings in places
like San Francisco,Vermont and parts of the former Soviet Union,
where Obama loyalists are tuning in to find out what the fuss is
all about.
One of Rush’s greatest gifts is the ability to never talk down or
underestimate his listenership or the American public, something
the Obama administration and Liberal radio has done routinely.
The listening , thinking public won’t be fooled by these
diversionary tactics. There is a reason that there are few, if
any commercially viable “progressive” radio programs. And a
reason that “Rush babies” populate this country. This very
conversation sharpens the focus on the issues Rush has been
talking about, and others (like my husband, Fred), have been
fighting for for over 20 years. Friends like Mark Levin, Sean
Hannity and others provide the kind of echo chamber the Left
would love to control for themselves.
This little “high-school Harry” exercise has revealed that the
Obama administration would rather focus on the destruction of one
man with the full force of the office of the President of the
United States, while Americans’ wealth dissipates in platitudes,
earmarks and break-out play groups. Even people who voted for
President Obama know instinctively that this is more than unfair;
it is dangerous. For once, I agree that this administration
supports transparency: it’s crystal clear that these people will
do anything to achieve their socialist utopia, the America of our
Founding Fathers be damned. This must not happen, and Rush, we
are with you.

Bob Wolfe| 3.6.09 @ 1:15PM
Sure, Republicans can defend Rush Limbaugh all they want, but at some point they'll need to convince the ELECTORATE that they're worthy of WINNING an election again -- especially after two defeats in a row. Kissing ElRushbo's ring marginalizes the party even more because while Rush is very popular with a hardcore base of conservatives, his shock jock routine horrifies soccer moms. And probably hockey moms too.

"25 jobs were saved today. The crisis is over!"
Unfortunately, those jobs are only funded for 1 year by the government. After that, the city will have to pony up to keep them employed. Let's check back in a year...see how that works out.

BD57| 3.6.09 @ 2:13PM
Baloney, Bob.
This has nothing to do with soccer moms or the so-called "moderate middle." Those folks have no governing philosophy; in 20 months, they'll vote based on how they think things are going - if they "aren't going well", they'll vote against the O-bots no matter what Rush Limbaugh says.
This is about affecting the COMMITTED electorate - about ginning up the committed left and discouraging the committed right.
The O-bots desired effect can be easily defined ... a) snarlin' Arlen and the Maine Twins; b) Michael Steele sitting still for the party being called Nazi-like; c) Steele calling Limbaugh 'ugly'; d) the Brookses, Frums & Parkers of the world.
The goal is to intimidate "official" Republicans now and thereby convince committed conservatives to give up on Republicans in the future. Because people don't go from being "committed" to the squishy middle, they go from being committed to not caring anymore.
The O-bots aren't willing to put all their eggs in the basket of the squishy middle - too much is left to chance by that. Their goal is to change the shape of the committed electorate by manipulating the squishy to dispirit committed conservatives.
Bob Wolfe| 3.6.09 @ 3:54PM
Believing that soccer moms and the so-called "moderate middle" have no governing philosophy is simply discounting the votes conservatives need most. The Obama campaign capitalized on attracting first time voters. The so called "committed" "squishy middle" has to come from somewhere. That's them. The people who don't care for Rush Limbaugh's style. Republicans need a leader who can increase the size of the party, not turn potential voters off.

Obama, and his spineless pathetic minions, can't muster the STRENGTH to go after our enemies like Muslim Extremists, Terrorists, Illegal Aliens, Doctors/Etc. who KILL/MURDER the unborn 24/7 without ANY restrictions, etc.
They STOLE this last Election by using Illegal Aliens, Acorn, and the main street media protraying Obama as "anti-Bush" and then using RACIAL STEREOTYPES by using McCain as "the rich old powerful white guy".
Obama can't even admit/support the fact that he is HALF WHITE. A man who keeps the TRUTH about himself...from himself cannot be trusted with telling the TRUTH about anything...to anyone.

Rush may not be the Republican Party, but he reflects the consensus of Reagan Republicans and most true patriotic conservatives. There is only one GOP, and we're all it.

BD57| 3.6.09 @ 5:59PM
No, it isn't Bob.
It's acknowledging that their votes aren't moved by ideas, they're moved by results and events (regardless of whether the governing party had anything to do with them).
Building a winning coalition requires two groups of people: #1, those who believe in what you stand for; and, #2, those who think you've been successful / the other guy's failed (the "Whoever in power is responsible for how I doing" caucus).
For all your devotion to the squishy middle, neither party can win an election with them alone. Tossing the base overboard while you chase voters who, by definition, are fickle is foolishness.

Michael| 3.6.09 @ 11:30PM
No ConservativeWanderer, did you not see my second post?? I addressed it quite thoroughly, but I will do it again for you as you obviously don't get it.
The Republican Party has gone SO FAR to the right, that independents and moderates flock to the Democrats as they seem much more sane in comparison. Why do you think even conservative op-ed writers: David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, Peggy Noonan, and even George Will, who are no friends to liberals blasted the McCain-Palin ticket?? Bc they're closet liberals? Right. Keep thinking that. It's bc Palin veered the ticket so far to the right and thinks abstinence-ONLY education is sound policy (Just ask her daughter) as well as lampooning earmarks except ones for her state.
But don't worry, keep on running right wing extremists and I'm sure people will flock to your side. It's the Ann Coulters, Sean Hannitys, Rush Limbaughs, Michelle Malkins of the conservative ideology, that have become the new faces of the GOP, and it's no wonder that you all will CONTINUE to lose elections.
Don't worry we don't need to attack anyone - your lack of actual alternative policies (or failure of the ones you have) speak for themselves. That's why Bobby Jindal thinks people hated the delivery of his speech when it's the CONTENT that sucked. In fact it was SO BAD, even Fox News lampooned it. We don't need the Fairness Doctrine. The vitriol from conservative hate radio is enough help to Democrats.

Michael| 3.7.09 @ 1:46AM
Mr. Brooks I never called her a "ho". The fact that Gov. Palin trumpets under the banner of "small town family values", yet has a daughter who has a child out of wedlock is utter hypocrisy. If this had happened to President Obama's older daughter, the right would have lampooned the family for a "lack of family values", etc. But yet, when this happens to the family of a Republican, teenage pregnancy is suddenly applauded? You don't see this as hypocrisy? You really think they will get far, when NEITHER of them have or plan to pursue a college education? You call that responsible? Bristol finds herself in this predicament as her family thought that abstinence-ONLY education was realistic. Now after her interview with Greta van Susteren, both Gov. Palin and Bristol admitted that abstinence is not realistic. Don't trumpet "family values" for other people when you are not prepared to measure yourself by those same values.

Michael| 3.7.09 @ 1:50AM
Like I said Matt, keep running extreme right wingers, and see what happens. As you recall until McCain chose Palin in September, McCain and Obama ran neck to neck as McCain was the ONLY Republican that had the ability to reach out to independents and moderates. Once he chose Gov. Palin as a way to please the extreme right wing fringe of the GOP, that's when things started going downhill. But please, continue on. I'm sure SNL will have tons of good comedy material with a Jindal/Palin ticket.

It had to do with the uneducated, poor filling out "Dallas Cowboys" on a voting registration form as Donald Duck will show up to vote had something to do with it. Idiot.
Michael| 3.7.09 @ 2:12AM
The DOW dropped LONG before Obama was ever in office, and Angel the clown has already left - his name was George Bush. You really think 44 days in office will take care of 8 years of Bush policies? Why is it then that Obama has higher poll numbers than ever and congressional Republicans poll numbers CONTINUE to drop? Why is it that only 26% of people trust Republicans on the economy compared to 61% for Obama? The real clowns are the Republican party who don't have the cojones to dare cross the Great Rush Limbaugh (a man who calls for stiff sentences for drug abusers EXCEPT when he gets caught illegally getting narcotics). Always the way it is with extreme right wingers - do as I say not as I do. Remember, Rush is only there to increase advertisers and make more money NOT help the Republican party get more votes.

Scuzzballs, skanks and slimebags define liberals; just like Mr. Wilson . LOSER." ---- Displaying how much tolerance for ideas that conservatives have. Unlike conservatives, liberals tend to like facts, figures, and reality, while conservatives, since their actual policies and ideas are so bad, they have to rely on spin and obfuscation to get those who don't actually research the issues to vote for them. If your ideas/policies are wrong, they are rebutted with facts - that's not a lack of tolerance, it's called having a semblance of education and intelligence. Tolerance doesn't mean an unquestioning accepting of rhetoric like "Socialist!", "Commie!", the N-word, etc. that were shouted at McCain/Palin rallies. Do you really expect liberals to debate something as juvenile as "Drill, baby Drill!"?
But I forget, reality does have a "lib-ruhl" bias.

Unlike your party that has it's approval ratings in the toilet, and whose defacto leader is a drug-abusing, doctor-shopping conservative rant talk show host who talks about reverence for the Constitution yet quotes, incorrectly, the preamble from the Declaration of Independence, I am actually quite happy as the Republican party is going down in flames. President Obama's approval ratings are higher than ever as the American people realize this is a mess he INHERITED.
It's funny to me how you weren't paying attention to the DOW and unemployment rate during the GWB administration, only when a Democrat is in office. Also, I know you're used to members falling in line with administration like Scooter Libby (your hero I'm sure). In Obama's cabinet people are allowed to have different opinions. Also learn to quote correctly, Holder said people are cowards with regards to confronting the problem of race in this country.
"The president said he understood Holder to be saying the country often is uncomfortable talking about race until there's a racial flare-up or conflict and that the nation probably could be more constructive in facing up to slavery and discrimination."
How is that rebuking, Matt, I mean Michael's Mommy?

Don't think so, baby. Obummer's reading his internals and they are baaaad, just like your little bad self. He's starting to change his tactics--things don't be lookin' too good for you morons right now. Why aren't you in bed getting your rest for that big, giant, super, dooper job you have? The one where you clean toilets, and this job is a promotion for you.
Michael| 3.8.09 @ 3:28AM
You mean the internals where 69% approve of the job Obama is doing? Yeah, he's so "scurred"!!! What are congressional Republicans numbers? Maybe Rush Limbaugh can lower them even further.
Hope you like decades of being in the minority!!
Jindal/Palin 2012!!!

I thought you liberals were all about minorities. You must be getting your stats from Huff/Post. I'm talking Rasmussen--the big daddy--and your Obummer's approvals are tanking, just like the DOW. That's the only reason he rebuked Holder.

Have you checked Nazi Pelosi's--24%. Make you happy, you dope?
Michael| 3.8.09 @ 4:08AM
No Hott Stuff, it seems like your party thinks putting up token minorities who will "Hip Hop" the Republican party and have Michele Anti-American Esposé Bachmann saying "You da man" to Michael Steele will get minorities to vote for the Gray Old Party. It's pandering at it's finest.
What you all will never get is that it's your policy and ideas that the American public is tired of. For goodness sakes, you couldn't even hold on to places like North Carolina, or Virginia and Indiana - two states that haven't gone Democratic since 1968. Once again, only NOW you care about the DOW, when it's been tanking since Bush's term which just ended 44 days ago. You think the market will bounce that fast? NO ONE is blaming Obama for the market except right wing lunatics. Tell me what was George Bush's approval ratings again? Just remember, it's YOUR PARTY in which only 26% think Republicans can solve the economic crisis. You can try to distance yourself from GWB now, but it will never happen. But let me guess, it's Clinton's fault right?

Obama Approval Rating Increases to 67% , in the most recent Gallup poll.
Sorry, try again right-winger.

Sad little Michael posts:
"No Matt, unlike yourself I actually have an occupation to go to and am sleeping now and don't spend my days in a car listening all day to conservative hate talk radio."

You sure are asleep, douchebag. Wake up Obamatron.

You're right, Michael, the Dow did start dropping long before Obama took office..... right after the Demorats took control of Congress. You know, where all the deficit spending and bailouts had to be approved. Obama just accelerated the free-fall.
Epic FAIL, fool.

Good job, Wilson, you managed to construct a search that lets you keep your lefty blinders firmly in place... it lets you avoid stories like this:

...and this...

...and this...

Must be nice to only see the news you want to see, right, Wilson?
By the way, your tightly-limited search results don't invalidate my wider search results.

We can debate about RINO senator running and losing to Obama rt we can simply look at what is taking place.I for one, won't look back.
Obama is destroying everything he is touching from economic, foreign policy to the pathetic groveling to our enemies and advesaries to the point that is it downright dangerous.
People are paying attention for once and Dems and Repubs alike are "starting" to really worry that we put the invisible man in the Whitehouse.
Obama should have run as a centrist and this all out war to instill a pure Socialist type system in this Country will be his downfall.
The question is, can the repubs and blue dogs (God bless em) stop Obama, Pelosi and the other socialist cohorts from doing lasting damage in the four years he has.
So far, it looks like Obama is winning and the Country is losing.

No, Michael, it's Obummer's fault.

Is that why the DOW went up 239.66 points today? So does Obama get the credit for that, just as you were ready to blame him for the DOW dropping (even though this happened MANY TIMES and GREATER under GWB? Oh wait, you're a conservative -- and thus a hypocrite. Since you were ready to blame him for that, then today thank him for the DOW going up 239.66 points, bitch.

This" Micheal" is actually one of the many paid posters via Soros. Which is why when one of them "goes to sleep" the posts keep on spewing forth.
Michael| 3.16.09 @ 7:53AM
Keep thinking that alwayswrong. I think you need to take your medication for your conservative paranoia that "libruhls" are out to get you. Let me guess, you're paid by Rupert Murdoch?
