In response to the NY-23 news, Rush Limbaugh tells me:
“Hmmm... I thought the Era of Reagan was over? Who was it that said that? Oh yeah, the smart people on our side who told us the only way we could win was with moderate/liberal candidates like Scozzafava. Hmmm...”
WOW, thanks gotta watch that! Going for my tivo button!
LOL, too funny....
LOL!
We now have the proof...RNC stands for Really Not Conservative...they’re just another bunch of Opportunists.
LOL

Thank you, now thats hitt’n the nail on the head!!!
Extra rations for you! Well said.
I just LOVED what Rush had to say about Peggy Noonan yesterday. He is exactly right!
Here are his remarks excerpted:

Don’t Wallow in Depression, Just Stop Obama’s Radical Agenda
October 30, 2009
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
[......snip.....]
RUSH: I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s being done on purpose. I’ll tell you the most frustrating thing to me is that there were a lot of us who knew this is exactly who this administration was, who Barack Obama was, we knew it, and all of the anointed Smart Money on our side, “No, no, no, no, he’s postracial, he’s postpartisan, he’s post-this, he’s one of us, he’s a smart guy, we need somebody intelligent in the White House,” all these people, and then some of them on our side are still running around talking about the need to have collegiality and so forth. Until everybody on our side — and we’re not there yet, B.C., we’re not there until everybody on our side realizes that we are dealing with pure evil here in terms of the intentions to remake this country, and it must be stopped. It must not be negotiated with; it must not be gotten along with; it’s time to stop this. It’s time to stop this move.
You know, only an elitist would miss what’s going on in this country. Peggy Noonan has a piece today — and remember, Peggy came after me as being one of those who was coarsening America’s politics. And I know Peggy, she just doesn’t want a fight, can we calm down and have playdates in Central Park and so forth and be one happy bunch of people.
But she has a piece today in the Wall Street Journal, here’s a little excerpt from it: “The biggest long-term threat is that people are becoming and have become disheartened, that this condition is reaching critical mass, and that it afflicts most broadly and deeply those members of the American leadership class who are not in Washington, most especially those in business.”
Now, her piece today is very interesting. I just wish that she woulda written this before Obama took office because I firmly believe she has the intellect to understand, like a lot of us did, that this is exactly what was going to happen.
So here she is nine months into this and finally discovering where a lot of people were a year ago, because they knew this was coming.
But there’s something she is totally wrong about this in this piece. She does capture much of what’s wrong in the country. Remember she thought Obama was a savior just a few months ago, because Obama is smart, he speaks like other smart people, a pedigree, he’s one of us.
I think what Peggy totally misses is the anger, not the disheartenment — and there is some of that, certainly — but there is anger within a majority of the people in this country.
She totally misses the ascension of conservatism that’s taking place.
She misses the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce. She misses what the polls are reporting. We have had enough. We are disheartened by blue-blood country club moderate Republicans, and of course Democrats.
Peggy is obviously depressed and she’s projected her depression onto the American people.
I don’t feel depressed. I’m ticked off. I’m mad. There is anger out there all over this country. We are ready to financially support conservative candidates.
People are attending town hall meetings, tea parties, protests, and rallies.
Somebody has to do something. And the elitist class of Washington is missing it, and even if they do see it, they will still participate in it as spectators and comment on it.
I’m sure Peggy Noonan is depressed. She believed in Ronald Reagan. A year or two from now maybe she’ll take the next step and write an article praising the American people who refused to put up with this and tried to stop it, a lot of people who knew exactly that this was going to happen before it did.
And when we predicted it and when we cautioned people we were the ones who were told, “Shut up, you are coarsening our politics. You are damaging the civility.”
In the meanwhile, we gotta Democrat out there, Alan Grayson, who is calling a K Street lobbyist a whore. He says Republicans want people to die sooner and he’s being praised by the media. The Obama White House loves the guy. He’s going to be reelected from Orlando with ease. And, meanwhile, we run a guy like George Allen out of the party over a word that doesn’t show up in the Oxford dictionary, Macaca, nobody knows what it means. Where was the civility and where was the non-coarsening of our politics when the Washington Post and the media led the drumbeat to get rid of a decent man, George Allen? Meanwhile, we’ve got an absolutely ADD lunatic flake from Orlando, Florida, who is running around mouthing off some of the most uncivil things, and he gets praised. This guy gets more television time for it. We’ve got a guy, Snoop Dogg, a rap sheet longer than my leg, who’s just been hired to do promo commercials for the NFL pregame show on ESPN. Yet I, El Rushbo, divisive, uncivil, coarsening American politics. I’m thinking I better go out and commit some crimes and do some time, and then the NFL will have me and maybe the Democrat Party as well.

"Wow, and thank you too Shelly [Mandell, president of the National Organization for Women's Los Angeles chapter] for that kind introduction, and thank you so much for your endorsement, and with your help, Shelly, in November, all of us, who consider ourselves progressive, yet at the same time we can be conservative, we're gonna shatter the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America.
Et tu, Newt?
Much ado about Newting........
I think Rush and Mark Steyn are on the money
Afghani, now.
NOW released the following statement after Shelly Mandell made the endorsement.
A member and officer of the Los Angeles NOW chapter, Shelly Mandell, recently introduced Governor Sarah Palin at an event in Carson, California. Ms. Mandell was speaking as an individual and was not authorized to represent NOW, the NOW PAC or LA NOW in any capacity in connection with a federal candidate endorsement. As NOW President Kim Gandy said upon Palin's selection, "Not every woman supports women's rights." The use of Shelly Mandell's Los Angeles NOW title was apparently intended to mislead the public, and indeed has resulted in local television outlets and internet reports misstating that LA NOW has "endorsed" Sarah Palin or that she has a record of supporting women's rights.
I have no problem with, and even applaud, a woman like that coming to her senses and recognizing the good Palin does for children and other women. Most liberals are and willfully remain in abject denial and actually do not want to help women and children and are completely committed to their own politics and power...which is NOW's trademark.
As to Palin's traditional family values, over decades they speak for themselves, from their long marriage, to their having and loving Trig, to their stand on abortion, etc., etc.
To say that she has "no" traditional values is a monumental distortion of the facts that everyone can see.
