This myth about Rush being the leader of our party was started by our President and his administration as a clever distraction, which is how I suspect this administration will operate. Unfortunately our party chairman, Michael Steele got caught up in the whirlwind surrounding this and spoke out of place. He needed to apologize

I’ve been a Limbaugh fan for many years, but I’m not quite sure how I have been played like a violin. He is not just an entertainer, although his show is often entertaining. Rush puts power behind what a great number of people in the United States think and feel. We aren’t being programmed by a super-powered radio host, but listen to Rush and other similar shows because they speak about things that are important to us. We have no voice as powerful as the left with their public education, colleges, newspapers, television news, magazines and unfortunately now their government.

Yes, we are fired up, but not because Limbaugh is “fueling” us. We are outraged at the way the foundations of our country are being torn down at an alarming rate and most of us feel powerless to do anything about it. We are also outraged at the way the left-people like Sue-have been raging a war against American ideals and our conservative leaders with irrational, ad-hominem attacks. When they can’t attack our ideas, they go after drug-use or college transcripts. That is “shameless.”

Finally, Ms. Cole has to bash our former president. The left love to speak of a lying George W Bush, but rarely have any facts to back up their assertions. I would agree that there have been “past-adminstration wrongs”: Taking “desperate measures” to fix the problems caused by the wrongs of the last 70 years. Bailing out banks, auto companies, unlucky or unworthy homeowners.

The Bush administration did a knock-up job of caving in to the frenzied masses and media-induced panic. Instead of letting the system work, which means people and businesses would have to fail (the horror), they chose to try shoring up the system, which only delays failure. Those wrongs have been dwarfed by the colossally irresponsible actions of our Democratic Congress and President Obama in just these last few weeks. Commusism, Socialism and the New Deal have been tried and have failed, but here we go again.
