California Needs Conservatism (by Rush Limbaugh)

Listening to some Republicans and conservatives on the possibility of winning the California governorship lately has been dismaying. "We don't really want to win this race. California is in such a mess it can't be fixed and we will be tagged as failures if we try. Let the Democrats continue to stew in their mess." Or a variation on this theme: "Whoever wins will not have a mandate so he/she will not be able to govern, especially with the huge Democrat majorities in the California legislature."

No, I munch on liberal Republicans, then I stomp all over them, and then I throw them away. You see, they're as dangerous to our nation as liberal Democrats.

Pretty unhealthy diet. As an impartial observer though, I would suggest that America is currently governed by liberal Republicans. They made a necessary compromise to get elected, following a couple of terms of Clinton rule.

So where does that leave you...?

[KantianBurke]

wow a thread on Reagan and no pics? I'll fix that :>

[holdonnow]

Geeez.

[holdonnow]

Way to go!!!

[jjbrouwer]

You two can be replaced you know. Maybe a straight across trade for the the TLBShow? Sounds like a pretty even trade.

TLBSHOW is my smarter brother!

[Central Scrutiniser]

Yeah, the last thing I need is to be hated by more FReepers!

Besides, this gives TLB something constructive to do late at night....

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, I know. Tard and Retard.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Do you buy your hyperbole wholesale?

[Princeliberty]

Arnold fails to meet the standard of better than Davis!

[jjbrouwer]

He tawt me everythink I no. American home skooling is da best!

[holdonnow]

Now, this is the THIRD personal attack you've made against Rush. No, I don't write for Rush. Now, why don't you try to focus your little mind on the issues -- which he try mightily to avoid -- rather than personally attacking a man who does more in a single day for this country than you will ever do in your pathetic lifetime? May I ask -- what, exactly, do you do for a living?

[holdonnow]

Ditto!

"he's going to call for a repeal"

Tom is not going to call for a repeal - HE'S GOING TO DO IT!! THE FIRST DAY HE'S ELECTED!! That's vision! Not hope so, maybe so, sorta, kinda, etc.

Just because Arnold now SAYS some conservative things - it will not change my vote. You can't hire democrats and they say republicans things to me - it just doesn't gel!!

Let the record show that the witness, Mr. holdonnow, stood mute and declined to answer the question when asked if he ghost-wrote the op/ed attributed to one Rush Limbaugh III.

[CyberAnt]

Exactly!!

[Central Scrutiniser]

Your right....

I gotta go, have books to read, resumes to write, and I gotta file my disinfo report to the feds (those damn forms get tedious)

I'm a retired cop so I'm no stranger to dealing with jackanapes and their shyster mouthpieces.

[holdonnow]

Maybe you should change your name to, say, Mr. Attention Deficit Disorder. Read my post above. I had nothing to do with this op-ed, or any other. Now, answer my question. What do you do for a living?

[jjbrouwer]

Later, dude.

We must be in Bizarro World. I find myself agreeing with quidnunc...
