Outstanding, Rush. It's time to offend the left. Let's drive them off a cliff, in their rage.

I want the left treated like the slime they are.


NOT ONE PENNY!!!

I'm angry enough to pledge money to real conservatives who will run against these RINO's and replace them. How about $100.00 a head?

I encourage everyone to attack!

A quicky review of the sellout by the Seven Dwarves of the Senate,

McCain -- Vain,
Warner -- Snooty,
DeWine -- Whiney,
Graham -- Shorty,
Chafee -- Cokey,
Collins -- Moosey,
and Snowe -- Squishy,

Part I: Commitments on Pending Judicial Nominations
A. Votes for Certain Nominees. We will vote to invoke cloture on the following judicial nominees: Janice Rogers Brown (D.C. Circuit), William Pryor (11th Circuit), and Priscilla Owen (5th Circuit).

That’s right—"Votes for Certain Nominees" is bolded. Because Brown and Owen were going to make it through all along. Pryor was, too, after the filibuster was killed. This killed the filibuster rules change for SCOTUS, which was what making sure Owens or Brown were the first nominees was all about. THAT is what is wrong with this deal--not so much that it's only getting three nominees through, but preventing the likelihood that we will be able to appoint a known, visibly conservative justice to the U.S. Supreme Court instead of a Souter. Brown and Owens were great p.r. for the filibuster. White males will not make it through the MSM smearing.

B. Status of Other Nominees. Signatories make no commitment to vote for or against cloture on the following judicial nominees: William Myers (9th Circuit) and Henry Saad (6th Circuit).

READ: As RINO sellouts, we commit to avoiding the overt appearance of pro-white racism (which we will be called anyway for being Republicans), demonstrating that we're anti-white racists, and voting for closure on blacks and women and a token conservative to sweeten the deal—but no more white guy nominations—the rest will all fall under the “extraordinary circumstances” exception, of course!

Part II: Commitments for Future Nominations
A. Future Nominations. Signatories will exercise their responsibilities under the Advice and Consent Clause of the United States Constitution in good faith. Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist.
B. Rules Changes. In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement, we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress, which we understand to be any amendment to or interpretation of the Rules of the Senate that would force a vote on a judicial nomination by means other than unanimous consent or Rule XXII.

Why, looky here, the rats just exercise their responsibilities in ‘good faith,’ and only filibuster under ‘extraordinary circumstances.’ You can always trust a Rat to do things in good faith, like Teddy Kennedy on the education bill. There is a certain segment of the populace that CAN be fooled all of the time, as the old saying goes.

As much as I'd like to think this was JUST the Seven Dwarves selling us out, as freeper sirthomasthemore pointed out, "With Frists’ speech, we now know the real culprit was the Senate as a whole. It basically appointed a committee of 14. While the rest of the Senators entertained and kept their bases preoccupied on CSPAN, the committee was at work finding a negotiated settlement. Have you heard ONE GOP senator, call for retribution against the Rino’s? Have you heard GWB scream out in righteous indignation? No, and we never will."(edited for television)

"You can always ease tensions and avoid confrontations by surrendering. You can always postpone a showdown, even when that simply lets the problem fester and grow worse.

Some Republicans may take comfort from the fact that they still have the option of changing the Senate rules in the future if the Democrats violate the spirit of their deal. But, once you have had the votes to win and wimped out instead, there is little reason to think that the weak sisters and opportunists on your side will be with you the next time high noon rolls around.

While members of both parties are trying to put a good face on this political deal and the media have gushed about this "bipartisan" agreement, Republican Senator Charles Grassley was one of the few who called a spade a spade, when he characterized what happened as "unilateral disarmament" by the Republicans.

If it was just the Republican Party that lost in this confrontation, that would be a minor partisan matter. What is of major importance is that the American people lost a golden opportunity that may not come again in this generation."

- Thomas Sowell

"Never has a majority party proved to be so spineless. Republicans, lest we forget, constitute 55 out of 100 senators and have the power to do what they please. Instead, they capitulated. It is now crystal clear that unless Republicans own almost 60 seats, rules will not be changed; unless Republicans own almost 70, cloture will never be invoked on a major issue. If that doesn't discourage the Republican base, nothing will."

- Ben Shapiro

"One may argue that a compromise is durable to the extent its signers make genuine sacrifices. In this compromise, conservatives and moderates have sacrificed resorting to the constitutional option that would confirm judicial nominees by a simple majority. The left has sacrificed three nominees it would have lost anyway, while thwarting two and retaining the right to apply a Senate rule of a required supermajority (60 percent to break a filibuster) not only to all other district and appellate nominees, but to nominees to the big enchilada - the Supreme Court."

- Ross Mackenzie

"It is not a great deal for two nominees who have been accorded a nice wake having been thrown overboard at sea. (And) everyone should also clearly see that ultimately, nothing has been settled when a vacancy arises on the U.S. Supreme Court."

- George Allen

Maybe the best rejoinder to anyone who thinks these Senators were in it for anything but themselves.

"In any compromise between Good and Evil, it is only Evil that can profit."

- Ayn Rand

If the Republican Party didn't want these people in office do you honestly think they would get the party endorsement and support? The GOP elders are perfectly happy with those RINOS.

I pledge $100 to whoever runs against Chafee in the primary. The one Republican who voted against Owen. He is beyond the pale, even for a RINO.

In fact, I pledge $100 to whatever DEM runs against him in the general election.

Y'all probably ought to save your money on Chafee and spend it on DeWine's opponent instead. The GOP probably can't do better than a RINO in Connecticut. We can certainly do better than DeWine in Ohio.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Mark in Flint, Michigan. Welcome to the program. Nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Thank you, sir. I'm lissenin' on pappy's A&M rad-io. Can you hear me?

RUSH: Just fine, sir, never been better; couldn't be better, thank you. I'm smarter than you, of course.

CALLER: I just wanted to comment about the coach dropping his pants. I reckon he was abusin' that there oxycontin stuff..

RUSH: Uh, it is true, these are high school kids. They do get dressed, which means they have to put on their uniform, which means they have to take their chances around oxycontin users.. who knows how jacked-up they may be?

CALLER: Well, I don't think... When you put that way, well --

RUSH: Well, I mean that's what he did. I gotta put it to you directly. I mean, you're saying you don't think the coach is a bad guy for doing all those drugs and going beserk but hey.. honestly caller, if you had an FM radio you would never hear about this stuff. Am I right?

CALLER: Uhhhhhh, well, I wouldn't... Yeah. Yeah.

RUSH: I mean, could the coach have done this without dropping his pants or listening to AM radio?

CALLER: Yeah, he could have.
He might have been close enough to hear the pants without AM radio, Rush! You know what I'm saying?

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Well, you know, when I was in school --

RUSH: He could have gone and gotten a 'scrip for oxycontin. He could have got a picture from Playboy and put it right next to it and asked, "Which one of these are you?"

CALLER: That wouldn't have been as effective, I don't believe. But then I'm not an overpaid addict.. I don't use those kind of drugs.

RUSH: You don't?

CALLER: No. No. He's out there doing his thing. He's trying to get these kids on oxycontin. I think he just got excited, maybe went over his dosage, maybe not. I'm not sure but I think he's just trying to get screwed up and have a fiesta.

RUSH: Probably so. I mean, I agree that he's trying to addict them. The one group we haven't heard from on this is the oxy - dealers. We haven't heard from them yet and that will be interesting, if we do.

Doesn't anyone find it the least little bit strange that Rush read an article and suddenly there's somone on line ready to talk about it? It's tough enough to get through without getting a busy, but everytime, there's someone ready to talk about what he just talked about. Strange..

These 7 RINOs are only the visible senators in this fiasco. There at least another dozen cowardly GOP senators similarly situated on other issues.

Hey, I'll take a replacement to run in a primary, against one of the seven backstabbers, anywhere I can find one.

Want to get madder still? In the primary for this last election I was shocked to find that not even another name was on the ballot opposing McCain. If it had been anything short of Hillary Clinton I'd have voted for for it. As it was I ended up writing in "Mickey Mouse" . No wonder McCain is so smug about not fearing the right side of his party! We could not even put up a token name in opposition!

I recommend forming a lobby group , solely to raise money in opposition to the seven dwarfs, to target them for defeat in the primaries. It would be called CLEANERS or Constitution Loving Exasperated Americans for the National Elimination of Republican Socialists

This is true. Specter and Hatch are high on my list.

That doesn't mean they rolled us on this one, but I'm sure they all knew about these talks. ALL of them.

Here's the best article on the subject: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1410697/posts
