That woman just brought me to tears, and that's not easy.
“Beck says he has 5, so far. Says a lot about Congress, doesn’t it?”
Abraham began to plead with the Lord that He be merciful to these cities if there were fifty righteous men in them.
The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous men in Sodom, then I shall spare the whole city for their sake.”
Abraham again asked, “Perhaps of the fifty righteous men five shall be lacking?”
The Lord said, “If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.”
Then Abraham continued to speak with the Lord and beseech Him, continually lowering the number of righteous men, until he came to the number ten. He said, “Do not be angry, Master, but I will say once more: Perhaps ten (righteous men) shall be found there.”
God said, “I shall not destroy it for ten’s sake.”
Rush is going to post the audio and transcript on the free side of his website this afternoon. I have never heard Rush be quiet for so long. She finished a sentence,he went to break and came back with her still on the line. He said he is going to try to find a way to get the GOP congress critters to hear it. One of those times I am really glad I heard it.
Palin-Bachmann Overdrive 2012 !! I like that!
Rush is posting the video and transcript on the free side.
and his 20 million listeners.
get a life toad.
I’m a woman,and i’ll stand by that statement. :)
I didn't fall for the "pet rock" and I'm not falling for the "life toad".
Do you have a life toad?
It was forwarded to me by my sister...

Hmmmmm...Didn't Lot 'bargain' with our Lord, find more for Sodom and Gomorrah???
I love Rush and she made some good points but I thought she rambled on and on and on and on
He did. And we know how that ended.
Darn it ... I was on a long call, and had
to turn him off. Sorry I missed it, and
PINGS to all .. when you find the replay.
In the meantime, this comes close to
eliciting the response I’m hearing to
the call... Joyce Kaufman, from the
FReeper convention dinner:

About fifteen, maybe twenty minutes into the third hour. She remained ont he line through the bottom of the hour break and spoke with Rush some more. She was ‘By God’ inspirational, speaking totally from her aching heart.
My point is that it is disappointing that those swear an oath to the Constitution won’t step forward to expose corruption when called upon...only five can even be bothered.

This has been going on my entire lifetime. Only now it's more blatant, more unpatriotic, more selfserving.
Need I remind you that not one Representative/Senator signed in the Gerald Ford Building to review the evidence, the indictment (compiled by Kenneth Starr) for the impeached Bill Clinton. Of course that 'trial' was headed by the viagra loaded Bob Dole...
Dole sure did NOT use this second chance as he royally 'blew' his first (presidential campaign) "I decided maybe there was one more chance, one more opportunity for service--for my generation--one more mission . ."'
Frustration, dismay, anger, fear, hopelessness, humiliation, determination, hate,...all these feelings thanks to the abject failures who voted for this absymal Obama!!!
Further proof, some in America still have hearts that are not stones.
Where is the free side?
Without a teleprompter or written remarks, as she pointed out. You know, I will say this for us Republican women and no, I don’t include Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins in our ranks. Most of us speak well. We don’t use verbal crutches, we know our arguments, we’re linear and laconic. I remember reading something by one of our FReeper gals Hildy once where she was talking about some bridge to some island that allows gambling or something like that. I don’t remember the details, but I’ll never forget how she impressed me with her command of the facts.
And the truth is, detracting nothing from Hildy or Michele Bachmann or Heather Wilson or Sarah Palin, depending on the argument and my familiarity with it, I can do it, too. Maybe it derives from mental clarity and conviction.
Today’s lawyer had it. She got emotional and took many of us along with her because she had skill in gaining empathy, but she nailed it. And kudos to her.
