It's happening now. Yes, Rush is taken to "Bunker Radio". This morning listening to El-Rushbo try to prove that what is true is not true. Rush and others on the conservative Radio Talk shows have been slamming McCain and Huckabee for a week now, or more. Those of you who have listened this AM. Why do you think that he has tried his best to deny what has happened. His keywords for the day has been "Shut up" because some article by a right side journalist used it to describe what he thought Rush and others should do. This made Limbaugh mad. Heaven forbid anyone tell him to shut up. I second it. Hasn't that been exactly what he wants McCain and Huckabee to do.
Since McCain has won a primary or two and Huckabee has won a primary (Caucus, sorry) Rush and all the rest have been screaming the mantra that these two are not worthy of the Republican nomination, yet they will not have the guts to suggest out load who they would support. I am not sure who I am going to vote for, but I will say this. Rush and gang have been dealt a blow due to the fact that the results (and you can slice and dice the numbers anyway you want) don't reflect the amount of "running of the mouth" that the radio gang has done.
I believe that most Republicans ARE FED UP WITH ALL OF THE RANKER IN WASHINGTON AND WANT SOME RESULTS. We are lacking in leadership. That much is true. We are lacking in direction as well. Yes, McCain has made most Conservatives very angry regarding the Illegal Alien Amnesty bill, true enough, but I also believe that he and others who originally supported that bill, have listened to "We the People" and realize that we want the borders secured first. The McCain Fiengold bill is not as much of a hot button.
I find it very interesting that the seemingly orchestrated spewing of distaste for McCain and Huckabee sound much the same as what Rush and his fellow talk hosts constantly complain about. Democratic Talking Points parroted by the MSM. Well. Here is the deal. Reagan is not in this race. He is dead folks. Get over it. I don't want someone who is going to try to look at the Reagan play book every time a decision has to be made. I also don't want someone who can't or won't compromise any and every subject just to prove a point or satisfy Rush.
Lets do this for a change. OH shucks, there is that word. Lets not listen to any media for answers to our questions. Lets make informed choices and lets try to win. Do you really want four to eight more years of this crap? I want the perfect candidate as much as anyone else, but we rarely get that choice. We have an incredible number of important issues to resolve in this Country of ours and we need to get started on solving them. You know, in my prior life on the job I spent hours in meetings that had the stated purpose of resolving a problem or an issue and it struck me that most of those meetings established no real course of action, just an additional meeting regarding the subject. Nobody wanted to be wrong. No one wanted to fail. What it lead to was analysis paralysis. This election cycle feels very different to me. Maybe it's the advent of Oboma. Agree with him or not. His approach has struck a cord.
The big states are about to have their primaries and in the next month the nominations in both parties will likely be set. We will have eight months to vet out all of the issues. We need to have solidarity to win. Rush and the like will argue and divide us till the last dog is dead just for spite. So far we have gone against the grain in the Republican party and we are finding out who has the staying power. Vote with vigore, but please, don't vote based on what Rush and those clowns think...
