   Hmmm, maybe we could accomplish with television what we have with talk radio. It would be fun to see the liberal outcry … at least if we did not have to worry about their (highly unconstitutional un)fairness doctrine. So much for of the people, by the people and for the people right? After all, heaven forbid we should actually make up our own minds and actually change the channel, the station or turn the television off.

   Had my daughters birthday, nobody went to jail. Yes this is an achievement. (daughter is bi-polar and can get violent) Anyway, I also found out another of my wifes sisters and her 3 friends have cooked up a plan to stop paying thier mortgages so that they qualify for the obama bailout.

   the st louis tea party drew the following comments on the cbs radio news friday; “organizers expected 50 protesters, and were shocked to find 50 times that amount.” we were not surprised to find that many, but the politicians and msm were. we feel they undercounted.

   It is going to very hard to achieve any type of public support when the MSM is running 24/7 pro-obama pro-socialist propoganda… The average person out there is not nearly as intelligent as we are. That’s not arrogance, that’s accurate.

   Most people who support obama don’t even know what “congress” is, let alone have any understanding of it.

    Rush was awesome! Went to a wedding with many, did I say many, liberals in Mass. They all were expressing concern over their vote for the the Big “O”. I asked them all or challenged them all to listen to Rush’s speech at CPAC and think about their next vote real hard…

    I believe they either will switch or not show up for the next vote. Either way works for us.

    Same here. In a few more months I will be in a position to stay home. My husband and I both have changed our W-4 forms to pay no taxes through the year. Our home is paid for and we can live on one income. We may have to pay taxes in April next year but I’ll be darn if I’m giving them anything before I have to. Losing my salary will lower out tax liability nicely and as everything we have will be paid for, we will just try to wait out the next 4yrs and pray this country comes to its collective senses.

    Everybody I know would certainly protest being the recipient of billions of dollars that they would never be held truly accountable for. The corporations must be protesting against this new age of corporate welfare.

    And people are actually believing this? Education is the key to the salvation of what is left of our country but I wonder if there is enough real education left to go around and actually help all of the people that could even think such a thing … much less believe it.

    Question for all abut msm: Is the Democratic Congressmen in your areas still advertising? Here in the Phoenix Area a Harry Mitchell (D) -5 District Arizona is running information ads on how he and President Obama are saving children with medical care, homes from foreclosure and such. Then the ad gives a number to call to thank Harry Mitchell and thank him.

    I have never seen the likes of this before. All our other Wrong Party Congressmen are from the Tucson area so I do not know what they are doing. At least here Obama has several “public service” ads on every night.

    Is this the Eternal Campaign? Nice that McCAIN-Feingold kept big money out of politics.

    Rush Limbaugh’s fiery speech at CPAC is here. Transcript here.

    No need for a transcript – I have it all but memorized!

    The C-PAC speech was Rush at his finest – his words were electrifying, clear and well chosen; his message direct and explicit – no wonder Rahm “Tiny Dancer” Emanuel felt compelled to attempt squelching him on Sunday.

    It’s puzzling how the Obama administration thinks attacking Rush (and talk radio) elevates their ideas and messages in the minds of most Americans; when, in fact, doing so only makes Rush more popular and reminds us that the ideas he espouses are much closer to our own than any of Obama’s.

One helluva lot of people have buyers remorse right now–but the lame stream media is not interested in interviewing any of them–only people who bash the Repubs.

    They can rest easy because they have a HUGE built-in constituency the Dems can’t ignore that sees Rush (and most prominent Repubs — and common ones — that’s why that “I don’t care about your mortgage!” sign only fuels their ranks and nanny-state passion) as a bigoted fat cat blowhard who doesn’t care a hooting damn about “ordinary (non-white) people” and believe that NOTHING could be worst than satan (literally) Bush. I’m talking about most my family, block, neighborhood, most (“all”) of Queens (bigger than Houston) New York alone. Their faith in Obama is unreal and The One is simply too big and openhearted and well-meaning to fail — and if he does, it’ll be because of all the sneaky sabotage the Repubs instigated against him. Too many of you severely underestimate the free ride he’ll be getting through this term. Hell, black churches here are even inviting Chris Matthews in for a fair sermon/Bush bash. If I were a betting man I’d clean up here with that! And again — I kid you not — the Interior Department will be getting some nudging about clearing a side of Rushmore. La Bamba CAN’T fail because you blame that on Bush/Repubs — period!

    What I am most concerned of under the radar is the nanny state agenda being taught in schools.

    I saw Steele’s comments. I have already sent him 2 e-mails. I think he is a RINO in disguise. I referred him to a Rush segment last week about Odumbo lying to the American Sheeple about being able to pay down the deficit. Rush went into detail about how much tax revenue could be raised by taking every penny earned from those earning $550k and above. It wouldn’t even come near covering the current deficit, much less the one the ONE is going to run up with his latest multi-trillion dollar budget proposal. I suggested Steele do some analysis and go on TV and address that vs. calling Rush an entertainer. What the crap does Steele call all the Repub. leaders bowing to the ONE? To hell with the RNC.
