So thats it huh? Yesterdays big Rush speech in front of what? 1000 people? The Republican Party is scared and desparate. Scared of losing control for an extended period because we actually have a president that makes sense. Desparate because they are relying on this wind bag Rush "Fat Ass" Limbaugh to spew crap out of his mouth to try to convice people that they are legitimate.

Im not going to glorify the douche bag by showing his youtube clips of his speech. I watched the whole thing and it was full of crap from start to finish. How can you rely on this extremist to bring the party that Republicans care about to any kind of party that the American people can identify with?

Most of his speech was hypocrtical in the sense that he spewed about the stimulus and spending yet, if you go back to the Bush years, George W., (Rush's gay lover) over spent every single year he was in office with record deficits and record spending. Some conservative government that was.

Remember the Patriot act that wire tapped American phones? Remember all the things we were told we couldn't do on planes? Remember things travelers were told we couldn't do?

Remember the record budget deficits under Bush? Only his spending was military spending for the invasion of Iraq. The wrong country. All that money wasted. Left with a huge surplus from the last democrat in office (Clinton) and left office with the largest deficit in history.

How Limbaugh could make it most of the way through the speech without bringing up Bush was beyond me but I found it fascinating that he brought up Reagan like he was president yesterday!

The chunks he spewed about Obama wanting control and the democrats wanting to control what we say and do and drive is total bullshit. He plays the republican game so well. Most of that was referring to the Fairness Doctrine. See Republicans are scared that this is some big bad piece of legislation that is going to limit what they can say or do in the media. Not the case. Its only going to allow more progressive talk on the air. Its going to allow liberal talk shows on more airwaves especially on the radio. He's scared. He shouldn't be, his show is going to thrive when the Fairness Doctrine passes because he will have competition. Exactly what he referred to throughout his long winded speech of crap. Competition. That means Rush, that you might have to have a liberal on your talk show from time to time. Gee wouldn't that be something? If there are any Limbaugh listeners when was the last time you ever heard someone call Limbaugh and disagree with him?

Listen to 1520 for an hour on a weekday, listen to Bill Press or Ed Schultz, they have callers who disagree with them all the time, they may not see eye to eye but they talk and have an open dialogue and it forces a sense of honesty. Limbaugh by not allowing anyone who disagrees with them on promotes this web of lies, its not a show where you are going to hear talking points based on facts because no one disagrees with him and therefore he is not forced to get his facts straight, he can basically say what ever he wants with no fact checks. No one calls in to hold what he says accountable.  

His speech last night was much of the same. Full of talking points with no facts to back it up. If you truly watched the Obama speech the other night you heard none of what Limbaugh was referring to. Obama gave a speech that stated our realities yet presented hope and enthusiasm. Yes hes spending money but hes redirecting where the spending is going. Redirecting it from the military to education, healthcare, and energy. No country can be strong without an educated population, a healthy population and ample energy supplies. Yes he is raising taxes, on the wealthy, those making over $250,000. Hes not going to rape them of their fortunes as Limbaugh and his party would have you believe, he is raising their taxes to pre-George W. levels. To what they were under the Clinton administration. From 36% to 39%. I think we had prosperity under Clinton did we not?

Who spent this nation into "generational debt" as Mr. Limbaugh put it? George W. Bush....did I miss something here? Was George W. not a conservative? We did it his way for 8 years. It DIDN'T work! We have gotten to a point where Obama inherited a mess. A big ass (kinda like Limbaugh, a big ass) mess. It is going to take some spending to get out of it. Its long term spending. Remember the idiot we had before never included the cost of the war in his budgets, Obama is!

Rush is the ultimate spin man, Ill give him that. He may be better than Karl Rove. That doesn't make him good. He is the ultimate right wing extremist and the ract that they rely on him will only scare more away from voting for anyone in that party. Scare tactics. Obama while he was realistic at times and honest in his speech, did not speak to scare people, he spoke to give us a reality and to provide reasons for optimism. 

The result of Rush leading that party in my mind is going to be a separation of republicans. Those that follow his blubbering crap and those that go and form an independent party. Rush is full of conspiracy theory. Hes full of hot air.

Here are two examples:

Rush talking of disaster under democrats (who's using scare tactics?):

Obama, did you hear anything even close to what Rush was talking about? I heard him mention the word "facts", geez, isn't that a nice change, governing based upon facts. Did you hear the part about the website that you can go to and see where the money is going? What an idea and change of pace, transparency.

I say enough is enough of Limbaugh. He was the one with the brain washing scare tactics. Obama for every bit of bad news he talked about, he mentioned solutions.
