Obama’s Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was pushing a new Administration line this week-end on Face The Nation.  Speaking of Rush Limbaugh, he said he is: “the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican Party.” Got that? Rush Limbaugh, a radio talk show host is being presented as the intellect of America’s opposition party. The point of this positioning is to minimize the force of any ideas coming from Limbaugh and therefore from The Right. In addition, because Rush Limbaugh came out and said he wanted President Obama to fail, he can be easily presented as the antagonistic republican who loathes his country so much so that he does not even wish its president well. This is briliant from the Democrats given that beyond saying “NO” to everything the White House proposes and beyond pushing their usual “Tax cuts and Small Government” line, the GOP has nothing to offer after 8 years of Bush/Cheney.

 Now some have dismissed Rush, but it seems everytime a Republican does, he ends up coming back to apologize for the offence. This week-end, Michael Steele the new RNC chairman had to come back on his words after he called Rush “simply an entertainer”, then Minority Whip Eric Cantor , then Bobby Jindal joined the fray hailing Limbaugh as a ”great leader for conservatives.”  This, on the heels of his dismal rebuttal to Obama’s Almost-State of the Union address last week.

Just in case you thought the loss last November did not rattle republicans, chew on this: Sarah Palin is still polling higher than most other conservatives leaders.

If only the mid-term elections could be helf today, the Democrats might be well on their way to getting that filibuster-proof Senate.

Rep. Jack Murtha (D-Penn) called his Pennsylvanians constituents racists.

Then Murtha apologizes for calling them racists and calls Pennsylvanians rednecks.

This clip is classic Murtha with Charles Gibson on ABC News attack Marines in Iraq for cold blooded murders.

Murtha runs when asked to appologize for calling troop murderers that have been cleared of charges! Most Democrats think this attack against Marines is fine and probably pay Murtha to say these things.

Charges dropped against Marines in so called Haditha massacre. Where is Murtha now. I hope he is sent packing in this election. 

I know all those who drinking the Obama kool-aid are laughing it up over Alaskan Gov. Palin as the V.P. pick for the Republican Party.  Although the arrogance and haughtiness that has swept the Obama Party (Democrats) is both overwhelming and sickening, that is fodder for anothr blog.  Be warned:  Palin is not as laughable as you all think.  Yes, she’s a woman, but let me walk you through the briliiance of the McCain campaign.  Palin is not going to steal all of Hilary’s base but that is not what the Republicans need to win.  Palin is anti-abortion, pro-drilling, pro-guns, and pro-conservative values.  She will help McCain do something he hasn’t been able to do yet:  Shore up the right wing, bible-thumping, religous base that McCain needs to get within striking distance of the White House.  All the women that she takes along for the ride will simply augment the play he’s making for the middle of America, the moderates, you know…the ones who make up their minds who they’re voting for within the last week of the process.  That’s what Palin is for, to help shore up the Right and underscore McCain’s reputation as a Maverick.  All in one simple stroke.  So stop laughing so hard, she was actually brilliant, strategic choice.
