Rush Limbaugh Live Thread Wednesday Nov 8, 2006

WOW- so did I...I tossed and turned for hours and wondered..where is my country and where am I...and what is REALLY going on?

My son called- he's really upset- worried that Iraq is going to go down the tubes because of this.

Lots to consider for us all.

They made a severe mistake.

Morning, sir.

Exhausted.

The trolls do come out after something like this....seen many of them today...see ya tomorrow Sensei

When Fox got involved, We had ZERO choice but to come back at him.

Giving up Conservative power, now that's the ticket!

My head hurts

No not Bush, but the higher ups in the Senate, House, RNC, etc. But as much as I hate to say this, President Bush and those around them were not as effective as getting out their messages until Tony Snow showed them the way, then they took off running. Tony was a very good choice.

I wonder if a lot of our military people will fail to re-enlist because they fear what the Dems will do now that they're in power.

After over 30 years, I may do just that. I feel we will be losing a lot of personnel and funding the next two years.

I'm clinging onto VETO like it's a life raft........
Bush held back on it, now when he uses it it will mean more

The problem of voter fraud cannot be emphasized enough and Glenn Reynolds has a good piece up at TCS Daily. Remember…it was blatant in Washington State in 2004…and they got away with it, too.

Conservatism did not lose
By Michelle Malkin · November 08, 2006 02:40 AM
I'm hanging it up for the night, er, morning. Unlike Michael Moore in 2004, however, I will not be staying in bed for three days in a catatonic state. I will not need PEST shock therapy. I will not move to Australia.

MCRI Victory [Stanley Kurtz]

The victory of the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI) (the ballot initiative banning race, "gender," and ethnic preferences) is the sleeper story of this election. This is a major national issue that’s been effectively off the table for three-and-a-half years, since the Supreme Court’s decision in the Michigan case. Now so-called affirmative action is back in play–not only as the subject of voter initiatives, but judicially as well.

The Supreme Court’s Michigan rulings were, on balance, a defeat for conservatives. Nonetheless, those decisions were vague and complex, leaving conservatives with much more legal running room than you might realize. There is real scope to define, limit, and even reverse what the Court ruled, particularly now that the deciding vote in the Michigan cases, Sandra Day O’Connor, has been replaced by Justice Alito.

MCRI won, despite being massively outspent by liberal opponents, and in the face of open opposition, or at best apathy, by official Michigan Republicans. A victory in the very state that, just a few years ago, was the site of so-called affirmative action’s greatest triumph powerfully reverses the national political momentum on this issue. Conservatives had largely dropped the preference issue in the wake of the Michigan decisions. But now, with conservatives re-energized, there is every prospect of future victory. And with the conservative grassroots reawakened on this issue, it’s going to be tougher for elected Republican officials to run away.

Credit here goes to Ward Connerly, who has carried this issue nationally for years, at enormous personal sacrifice. Jennifer Gratz, the young woman who was one of the key plaintiffs in the Supreme Court’s Michigan cases was the leader on the ground in Michigan, fighting virtually unfunded against a wealthy and highly organized opposition. Both Gratz and Connerly showed personal courage, fighting hatred and harassment from the other side. Finally, much credit goes to the Center for Individual Rights, which did the crucial legal work that turned back efforts to keep MCRI off the ballot.

The Supreme Court’s Michigan decision has been effectively negated on its home ground. Reverse discrimination is back on the table as a national issue. This is a great, heroic, and historic victory for conservatives.

Good Links next.

Rush, its not either or, its not giving up on conservatism, its FIGHTING THE ENEMY OF THE MSM!

Man is Bachman going to be one loney Republic Freshperson.

Republican Michelle Bachman is going door to door in a new housing development in Hugo. She's handing out campaign literature called Senator Bachman's Outdoor Report. She says she has a passion about the environment because there are a number of sportsmen in her family. She has the endorsement of the National Rifle Association.

WAYYY Better than Wetterling

I wonder if a lot of our military people will fail to re-enlist because they fear what the Dems will do now that they're in power.

That's a frightening thought...

One of mine has already said that he isn't going to reup under liberals.
America has spoken. They are not supporting a war on terror. We have pulled the MFVOV website due to lack of feedback from families who wish to speak up about media bias.

Good for you Mozie, wonderful news! Please ping me to any posts or updates, we all could use some warm fuzzies today.

And tomorrow, next day......:^D

It was the war, pure and simple.

Santorum = liberal cesspool Philadelphia They made a severe mistake.

Then you disagree with Rush. It wsn't the lack of conservatism. A strong conservative went down, hard. That means, at least in PA, people chose not to be conservative.

That's SOCIAL conservatism.

The ideology of economic conservatism: tax reform, low spending, noncorrupt government.... that's all still fine.

Rather have a RINO, than a "conservative" Dem.

Marked for later viewing.
