On his increasingly popular radio show, Mark The Great One Levin lashed out at liberals yesterday for trying to politicize the Amtrak disaster. He played several audio files of Democratic politicians and pretend-journalists who didnt even wait until the victims bodies were cold before they started playing their usual political games, and rightfully responded with great outrage:
"Almost since last night, but since early this morning while emergency personnel are at the crash scene trying to find bodies, trying to save people, trying to get them to the hospital early this morning, within hours of the accident, the media, the Democrats, the liberals in front of the microphones all of a sudden its a spending issue. Its a spending issue!"
Levin then continued to play audio files from MSNBC and other leftist media proving his point. One after the other, liberals journalists and politicians said the disaster was caused by too little spending. If the government had just spent a bit more, this tragedy would never have occurred.
The only problem with that? There isnt enough information out yet to conclude anything, except that the train was going 106 mph on a part of the track where the maximum speed was 50 mph.
But hey, were talking about liberals here; famous for never let a good crisis go to waste. And so they wasted no time putting blame on the shoulders of those darned Republicans, while the victims bodies were still warm and rescue workers were trying to save lives.
Its all because of conservatives who hate to spend! If it was up to Democrats, this would never have happened! May those cold-hearted Republicans be damned for their willingness to put lives in jeopardy, just to save a few bucks.
Levin went on...

The speed at which they moved to politicize this reminds me of the Shakespeare line “Methinks the lady doth protest too much”
A gay engineer promoted above his competence causes a major screw-up and they rush to his defense.
You may be right; perhaps they know something we don’t know about the background of the engineer.
So ... where's Mitch & The Weeper of the House?
What do they need, an extra engineer on board to drive the train properly while the other guy is doing something immoral? What do we need here, double staffing with one irresponsible Democrat along with a responsible atheist to keep things going?
Or they could use the actual automated speed control systems used for trains in other countries. Which AMTRAK, despite at the time having more than enough money to buy it, decided not to.
PINGING this one for Mark Levin and those who listen to him or post/lurk on his thread.
We have spent nearly 1+ TRILLION dollars on infrastructure improvments/repairs since Obastard became pResident.
What to we have to show for it !!
I want to see what the money was spent on !!!

It is in Zero’s, Mooches’ and union Thugs bank accounts.
The government has put tooooooo much pressure and regulation on how companies hire so that we NOW have people in positions for which they are TOTALLY unfit.
Where public safety is concerned none but the MOST rigid standards OUGHT to be in place, and they are NOT.
There is no problem that exists that liberals don’t think more money will not solve.
Lack of infrastructure has nothing to do with a train going 106 miles per hour. Odd, the engineer doesn’t remember anything. Hmmmmm.....
I wonder how long before the truth comes out?
Additionally, ARRA funding is being used to help achieve President Obama's vision for developing high-speed intercity passenger rail in America. Through ARRA, Congress made $8 billion available to help transform Americas transportation system through the creation of a national network of high-speed rail corridors.
Then there is Obama's (Solyndra Scandal)
(The Big Fail - Top 5 Failed Obama Policies)
Obama had the money and the votes to fix our Amtrak infrastructure...but lamented the 'shovel ready jobs....' weren't....did he assume those SRjobs were just digging ditches? Cash For Clunkers anyone????
You can’t be surprised when dems politicize disasters - it’s just what they do. I recall that when the I-35 bridge over the Mississippi in Minneapolis collapsed some years back, dropping half or dozen folks to their deaths in the water below, the last vehicle had not even splashed when the Democat Farmer Labor party (that’s what dems call themselves in Minnesota) started blaming Republicans for failing to provide enough funding to maintain bridges.
Already used on parts of the same line, but not yet in all locations.

Is there documentation that the engineer is homosexual? This is the first reference to that possibility I've heard.
Three, one to hold on to the bulb and two to turn the ladder...
