Margaret, do me a favor and ask that Republican husband of yours a quick question: During this very difficult time for the country, who does he want in charge? A Harvard law graduate and former constitutional law professor, or a disc jockey with a drug addiction who flunked out of college, divorced three wives and publicly made fun of a disabled person? Because that is the choice we have between Barack Obama as leader of the free world and Rush Limbaugh as leader of the Republican party.
Sure, you can try to justify Rush Limbaugh by citing the number of people who tune in their radios to hear him vocally masturbate each day – roughly the same number of people who think Bush was a great President. But trust me, pandering to idiots isn’t anything to write home about. All it takes is a microphone and a failing public education system. If it wasn’t Rush, it would have been some other cynic who decided respect and honor is no substitution for fame and fortune.
In my opinion Rush Limbaugh is a piece of shit that really needs to be flushed. But the Republican party has let him get so big, it’s going to take more than one flush to get rid of him. Until then, the rest of us have to live with the smell.
Truly it must be embarrassing to admit to being a Republican these days. Just look at your current list of alternative leaders to Limbaugh:
The Governor of Louisiana could barely form a complete sentence much less a meaningful metaphor. The Governor of Alaska couldn’t handle an interview with Katie “What magazines do you read?” Couric. Ann Coulter opens her mouth and instantly inserts a size 17 foot. Karl Rove’s nickname in the Oval Office was Turd Blossom. And finally, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are so corrupt that their votes can be purchased for less money than a whore with lockjaw.
It appears that without Bush starting a new war, the Republicans have nothing to offer the nation except Rush Limbaugh. Which means the King of the Republicans is an aging college drop out who would prefer the nation fail rather than see his ratings drop. So I ask the Republicans out there: Which is it going to be? Do you join us and try to salvage what is left of our great nation, or do you become just another inarticulate caller to the Rush Limbaugh show? Whatever your answer, at least remember to put the lid down before you leave.
That’s all I have folks. Sorry it took me so long to get this one to the table. It’s hard to laugh when so many are having such a hard time. But laughter is better than cynicism any day so come back soon. I mean it. Really.
Obama says majority rules but when bribes and back room deals got the 60 votes for health care and then use the nuke plan with 51 votes to ram it down the peoples throats is wrong. Before Obama was elected he said about 8 times all this would be on C Span.
Obama is a liar. He said before the election to judge him by the people around him and I did. I’m glad Obama won because America is waking up before the progressive movement takes us over. LETS GET BACK TO THE COSTITUTION AND SMALLER GOVERMENT. Let the people vote on pay increases and retirement plans for government, teachers and so on. This country has gone down hill sense God was taken out of school, nothing farther needs to be said about that.
Both the Democratic and the Republican parties both need to be cleaned up. Especially the Demarcates. The speaker was going to drains the swamp, what a joke. There would not be any one left hardly. She would be one of the first to go with Harry Reid, the peter puffer Frank and so on. Thank God for the Tea Party movement.
May the cap and trade fail along with the health care plan. Al Gore needs to be brought up on criminal charges for his green house lies.

It is an interesting article. With our slow dial up, it took me over an hour do download it and some other sites. While it contains truth, Joe McGinnis has produced a hit piece.
I live in a culture similar to what exists in the Matenuska (SP) Valley, and though I am not really a part of my culture, I resent slurs urban characters cast upon it. Urban Republican conservatives are as guilty as Democrats. Fly over country is America’s third world as a friend who used to work in a New York City publishing house observed.
McGinnis implied Palin told us the pipe line already existed. I interpreted her campaign statement to be that the pipeline did not yet exist. The state was making progress in getting the pipe line built. He, not Palin was shading the truth or he didn’t understand what she was saying.
Palin was obviously learning on the job, as Obama is. McGinnis portrays her as someone in over her head at times, which we already knew. It further supports my contention that neither Obama or Palin is ready to be president without several more years of training. “She shapes facts into what others want to hear” describes Obama too. The article reinforces my belief that Obama and Palin are faces of the same character.
Someone described Alaska as a virtual colony of the big three oil companies. Palin seems to have tried to weaken their influence while still trying to get the pipe line. She was looking out for her state. The Governor illustrates her ability to learn. She now says she is willing to negotiate the tax rate on natural gas to attract oil companies to the pipe line project.
Several politicians, Democrat and Republican said they were pleasantly surprised but Palin’s latest revelations. Unlike former governor Murkowski, Palin promised the negotiations would be open.
One more thing beyond Palin’s control is the price of energy. The oil companies will have to justify its effect on their income. If the numbers don’t add up, Alaska will have to offer more incentives than they have to get the pipe line. Canadian shale oil and gas may be be more competitive than Alaska’s natural gas.
A Palin spokesman refuted the article with specific examples of the governor’s contacts and negotiations with the oil companies.
The article was interesting, and educational for me, but McGinnis was unable to support his contention that the governor will prevent construction of the pipeline.
