The Legacy of Compassionate Conservatism [Rush Limbaugh on the Campaign Reform SCOTUS fiasco]

So the "media elite" is "empowered" by this ruling, what's changed about any of that? What's the difference with the "elite media" pounding on Bush 6 days before, 60 days before, or even 300 days before the day of the mid-term election? NONE. Flashback to September of 2002, the "elite media" was busy siding with Howard Dean and the UN, being very critical with Bush's call for France, Germany and Russia to "get on the train before it leaves town", because Howard Dean, France, Germany, Russia and the elite media were bashing Bush's Iraq policy. Now CFR passes through all 3 branches of Government, Howard Dean endorses Al Gore, the UN; Germany, France and Russia were given the finger.

The ones shouting that the sky is falling seem to grasp at the belief that this only damages Bush and the Republicans, why is that? I just told you.

This won't make CNN or MSNBC or the left leaning hosts on FNC any less liberal than they were today, yesterday or 12 months ago or even next year on Election Eve.

Let's not forget we're involved in a war on terror, and the last thing I'm going to do is "sit at home" or "screw Bush and vote for Dean".

Thank God we're all free to do as we wish. If that means with my deep personal wholehearted respect of disagreeing with you, staying loyal to MY beliefs, and keeping Socialist kooks out of the White House who want nothing more than to ditch the War On Terror and get sidetracked on cozying up to countries torqued off they didn't jump on the bandwagon after Bush gave them 2 chances, I'll do that. This idea that we (collectively) should be torqued off over this piece of legislation ignoring the fact that Democrats are already using loopholes built into it, isn't my idea of individualism. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Conservative T'anks from da Burgh!!! Well, almost the Burgh.
Used to be da Burgh. Far enough out not to have to watch Pittsburgh decay from the inside out since Caligiuri, thanks to a million years of idiot dems gulping up entire neighborhhoods and leaving them as slums. There are TWO THOUSAND city officials in Pittsburgh. Can you even imagine what a disease the left has become???
Potholes as big as Lake Erie. I tell you. I don't know how Santorum did it. Yes, I do. But that's another story.
Here, we worked our tushes off and got the first elected Republican Commissioners in over a hundred years. 19,000 registered Republicans. 65,000 registered rats. And we WON!!!
Oh, yeah. I believe in omens.

If there is anyone to blame, it's Tom Daschle and the Democrats for logjamming this horsesh** from making it to the floor of the Senate. Yes, that's right, there were items in the original CFR that I would have just loved to have seen pass, it would have put stronger binds on this elite media we're all used to seeing and hearing about.

Bush didn't get his way, so we ended up with the watered down compromised version because Daschle has some b**** over the first incarnation.

If this country were salvageable, millions of people would descend on Washington, demanding that those responsible for banning political speech be tried for treason. What we are witnessing is comparable to when the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire.

And, I am disgusted that the shows on television (and FoxNews included) that should be giving this abomination some light and analysis, are mostly completely silent - just going along. The mainsream media has been successful in keeping Americans somnambulent fools! I am embarrassed at the ignorance, and lack of anger or reaction ... or even just knowledge on the part of the people.

We have fallen so far, when the people aren't even close to reacting. The media keeps everyone comforably asleep!

"Descend on Washington" -- good luck!

I go out in public, and have a hard time looking most people in the eye, for most of them are walking, uninformed idiots! It's shameful, but what everyone should know, it was all planned, and very well planned.

The power of the influential mainstream media is the key! They are suppose to be the watchdogs, instead they are merely lapdogs. The coverage of this decision is as big an abomination as the decision itself.
