They seem preoccupied with going to the barricades against Republicans who wield little power, or picking a fight with Rush Limbaugh, as if this is the kind of economic leadership Americans want.

Rush explained exactly what Present Potato Head and his Ballet Dancer Butt Boy are up to on his radio show today

Rush: Now, it is the Obama people saying that we conservatives have no plan. We are the party of "no." Have you ever heard the name Rush Limbaugh? That would be me and the administration is focusing now, ladies and gentlemen, on rule number 12 of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network; isolate the target from sympathy; go after people, not institutions, because people hurt faster than institutions. Well, I don't hurt. I am not hurt by any of this.

What this is, though, is cruel. It is cruel because it is a game of manipulation emanating from the Oval Office. It is an attempt to distract Americans from the destruction of their ability to earn a living. It is an attempt to distract you from your plunging economy. It is an attempt to distract you from your ability to save for retirement and to pursue happiness. See, honest face-to-face discussions and debates are fair.

I gave a speech at CPAC on Saturday, televised my first national address, address to the nation. In that speech were not just illustrations of what's wrong with this administration and liberalism. There were solutions, solution after solution after solution, because conservatism is a solution. None of the things that I said in that speech are being repeated by the Drive-By Media which I knew would be the case, because face-to-face discussions and debates are not going to happen.

Instead, Alinsky's Rules for Radicals number 12 has been employed: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

I think the targeting of Rush will either be one huge backfire or the end of him. There is no in between here. I hope for the first.

Brass tacks. On main street, people lost their jobs and wonder how the gov will help the recovery. Local gov responds with higher prop, income and sales taxes and fees. Fed gov sends billions and trillions to Wall Street, while main street gets 16 bucks a week?? expiration of Bush taxcuts??? 2010 Dems will lose Congressional seats, because in 2006 and even 2008 they won GOP districts by slim margins. If main streeters do not see job improvements by 2010, Dem Congress is toast. Talk to main streeters, they do not want welfare, they want a JOB!!!!!
