With Frist and Dingy Harry, btw, it looks like there is NO DEAL. GOOD!!!
I could not resist, he is very reassuring.. :)
You are right.
Rush, Hannity and the others keep downplaying the strength of the media and the stupidity of the average American.
We may have the White House and Congress, but the facts of "control" are just the opposite. . .
We DON'T control Congress. The "Rs" are in the majority, but the liberals "control" Congress--there are quite a large number of liberal Republicans.
Bush is in the White House, but fiscally, Bush has been the most liberal of all presidents, including FDR and LBJ. The proof is in the OMB figures, regardless of what Freeper loyalists and Republican loyalists want to scream about and flame about.
And yes, we have FOX News, but the stupidity of the American public can be witnessed first hand at any grocery store check out counter as swarms of people buy the gossip rags, and by the Arbitron ratings of the TV shows.
Rush and Hannity fail to tell the truth about this. They care more about their loyal audience that is made up largely of cheerleaders of the RNC. Every time Hannity or Rush says something negative about the Republicans, the hate mail and phone calls pour in, so Rush and Hannity, who have sacrificed their principles for their multi-million dollar contracts fed by cheerleading loyalists, just continue to play the same old game of knocking the Democrats instead of fighting for the principles important to this nation.
We are in a VERY weak position. Rush is doing a snow job on his audience.

How quickly people forget. Eleven years ago we were fighting Hillarycare, gun bans, IRS harassment, and an almost successful attempt to make discussion of religion in the workplace a federal tort.
We are not losing.
Eleven years ago, we were in a stronger position than we are now, even considering the examples you listed.
We had less of a socialistic society eleven years ago. That is FACT, as based on OMB data.
Since were are far more socialistic today than eleven years ago, we are weaker today, not stronger.
Factually, you are wrong.
Factually, I am right. We were playing defense 11 years ago. Now we are playing offense. It's the left who is trying to stop us whether its the UN, schools, the courts or tort reform. And those are far more important fights than spending.
But if you want to be a defeatist, if you want to insist we can't win, if you want to stay home or vote for candidates who have no hope, that is your right.
You are wrong.
There is only ONE measurement that tells us if we are better off now or eleven years ago and that is are we more socialist today than we were then.
The factual answer is yes, as measured by the explosive growth in domestic and global welfare compared to eleven years ago.
Being that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity et al. spend most their time in this stupid Democrat bashing game instead of holding the Republicans accountable for joining the socialist camp, the writer of this email to Rush Limbaugh was correct . . .
and Rush Limbaugh is wrong . . .
and you are flat out wrong since you avoid the facts.
The Dems have NEVER been hoisted on their own petard. Someone would have to hoist them, and the MSM NEVER will. So this is just wishful thinking on Rush's part. In 15 years of listening, I've never, ever seen the Dems brought to the altar for their own hypocrisy, because they own all the social "judges" in politics, media, and academia.
No. You are wrong. There are many measurements that tell us if we are losing to the left. You simply avoid the facts.
