Let the Limbaughs Whine

At this critical point in history, the Republican Party has become a hostage to the likes of Rush Limbaugh. The party has been unable to decide what to do, now it has given up all the free will it has to its slave master Limbaugh. It is sad that the Party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt has become a conduit for a pill-popping fringe political talk radio loudmouth.

The congressional republicans by voting unanimously against the Obama stimulus bill have voted against America. They have voted against large tax cuts for the American middle-class, against repairing America's infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc), all at the behest of Lord Limbaugh. It is sad that the congressional republicans have put politics before the interest of our great nation. When George Bush asked for an economic stimulus bill with virtually no oversight the congressional republicans supported him. When Obama develops a bipartisan stimulus package with benchmarks and oversight built in the congressional republicans tell Obama to go to hell. Shame! - Robert

Theodore Roosevelt said it better than I ever could.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt(1858 - 1919), "Man in the Arena" Speech given April 23, 1910

It's hard to tell if the Republicans are jumping off the cliff because Limbaugh tells them to do so, or whether they are doing it on their own. In either case he continues to be a totally self-absorbed person who contributes little to society. When I was working, retired now,there were always people who came to meetings prepared to criticize everything and unprepared to contribute anything.

Rush Limbaugh is a self interested money mad TRAITOR to this country. We are at war twice over, in danger, in an economic tailspin in which many will die if it all begins to heal now and Rush’s answer is to hope we fail.

My disgust with that useless piece of skin runs deep.

But it can not be as deep as the horrid opinion I have of the republican party to a man for bowing and groveling in front of this gross oddity of american politics. It is to me directly like congress bowing to McCarthy. The spineless worms do not deserve to be spit on if they are on fire.

Before the republicans crown this man Limbaugh they should one and all google two serches and read for themselves

1)rush limbaugh drug addict

2) rush limbaugh sex tourist

If you don't come away from what you read about Rush with a horrible taste in your mouth then i don't know what to say. You truly love the man and not the party to tolerate that kind of leadership.

Thats what I think anyway but to each their own and live and let live....
