In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!
Listen to Rush on Line.

Will Limbaugh now allow Toomey equal time on his show?

Excellent! Thank you.
I've been reading on other forums that it would greatly help if people would call their Congresscritters and voice support for leadership changes.
I just called my Congressman, Tom Price, and voiced support for:
Mike Pence - Minority Leader
John Shadegg - Minority Whip
Jack Kingston - Chairman; House Republican Conference
Call now
Morning Johnnie!
I'd love to see the idea put forth by Rich Galen today enacted.

In 2001 Nancy Pelosi ran against Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer for the job of Democratic Whip - the number two job on the minority side. The guy who managed her campaign? Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania. Hold that thought.
In 2002, when Minority Leader Dick Gehpardt stepped down, according to Bloomberg News reporter Laura Litvan, "Pelosi quickly locked up the votes to become minority leader, making her the first woman to lead a major party in Congress."
After Pelosi moved up to Minority Leader, Hoyer won election as Minority Whip.
The thing about leadership fights in Congress is this: They leave deep, ugly institutional scars which never, ever fully heal.
Pelosi and Hoyer have had to work together, but they don't much like each other. ...
So, Nancy Pelosi is poised to become Speaker and she is repaying the five-year-old debt to Murtha by supporting him to be Majority Leader instead of Steny Hoyer. In his AP piece, reporter Dave Espo wrote that Pelosi, "stepped into a postelection power struggle among fellow Democrats on Sunday with a letter of support for Rep. Jack Murtha in the race to pick a leader."
We spoke about this a couple of weeks ago, but to review the bidding, the Speaker of the House is voted upon by the entire House Membership. There is no requirement that Members vote for the nominee of their party. There is no requirement that any Member vote for anyone - he or she can vote "Present."
Democrats will have their leadership elections on Thursday. The GOP will do theirs on Friday.
Whether Hoyer or Murtha becomes Majority Leader, the Democrats will begin their reign with very hard feelings and a divided Caucus.
In the spirit of engendering bipartisanship, I have an idea. Actually, this is someone else's idea, but I promised I wouldn't tell who it was.
Assume the GOP ends up with 203-or so-seats when all the recounts are over. And say all 203 of those Republican Members of the House were to tell Steny Hoyer that they feel his pain over the Pelosi/Murtha thing and they have decided to vote for him for Speaker.
If Hoyer went into the election for Speaker with 203 GOP votes, he would only need to find 15 Democrats who don't like or trust Pelosi (not exactly a stretch) to get to the magic number of 218 - an absolute majority of the 435 Members - and Mrs. Pelosi would be a very important member of the House Appropriations Committee. Period.
Republicans could look the Popular Press squarely in the eye and say: "What higher level of bipartisanship can there be than crossing over the aisle to vote for the other party?"
Quick! Call Time Magazine and tell them to hold off on that "Person of the Year" cover for Nancy Pelosi.

Great way to open the thread!
"In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity"
I already do believe all the Anti-American haters. They will do exactly what they want.
I'm not angry or jealous of the election results, but I am very confused and quite afraid.
I didn't see this coming. In my mind there was no way the American people would vote for unknown change. They voted for a different way, but didn't even stop to think that different might very well mean danger for all of us.
-My heart goes out to all our Soldier's and Marine's who are about to be told they were wrong, and everything did was for nothing.
-My heart breaks for the Iraqi people who this time believed us when we said we would not leave them.
-But mostly, my heart breaks for the people of our great nation who just sold us out. When we get hit again how will they be able to forgive themselves?
I used to trust the masses,(thinking they would do the right thing) but now I trust no one, but those who I know very well.
Hey John Boy!
I'm really afraid that President Bush may have lost some of his resolve on the Iraq war. I pray he stays the course, and doesn't try to appease the Democrats.
Don't know if Rush said anything about this yet but the reality is that not that many seats in Congress changed hands, certainly not enough to match the policy change. The RATs will overplay thier "mandate" and scare the beejebus our of the country. I hope we only live long enough to enjoy the victory in 2008.
