These Republicans Eat Their Own!

One reference I apparently haven’t made is this idea that Sean Hannity likes to put words in people’s mouth to match his own beliefs.   Today I was watching an interview between Chris Matthews and Newt Gingrich and my warning is to look out who you get that Judas kiss from.  Chris Matthews needs to shut up a little and let Newt Gingrich talk, and explain himself instead of putting words in his mouth.  For instance Newt said that Obama has taken even more money from Wall Street bankers than most candidates, and Chris didn’t want to hear that.   Chris like what Newt said in the Florida primary about how Romney is one of these vulture capitalists and all that loots companies.  And Newt went on to talk about all of Mitt Romney’s off shore money in the Camen Islands.  But Newt then said “The trouble is with what I did that it didn’t work, and I know it wouldn’t work in a general election against Romney” but Newt was never allowed to elaborate because Chris Matthews hushed him up.   Then there was the whole thing with Christie dancing on the Jimmy Kimbell show or whatever and Matthews has this crazy desire to see Governor Christie run for President in two years.  All of us should hope and pray that never happens, because if you think Romney is bad, Christie is Romney on steroids.  He screwed Romney over in his convention speech, and later when he made a little “too nice” with President Obama and kind of said for Governor Romney to take a hike.  And Randy Rhodes claims this was part of a big political deal that nobody from the media, even Christie it seems, has the balls to investigate and go after.

I had Chris Matthews Hardball on this morning and they spent the major part of the show talking about the crisis in Iraq.  Although with their new format these past couple of months, I’m less sure whether they present all the segments of a program before going on to the previous night.   I’ve heard from a couple of places that Joe Byden has stated that we need to patrician Iraq up into its three native components, namely the Kurds, to the northeast, and this Isis party can have the west, all the way to the Jordan border, and the Shiites can have the southeast.   I propose an in place cease fire.  All the troops stop advancing and remain right where they are now- - just on the outskirts of Bagdad.  But what we really need is for these Gulf States in particular to secede from this country.  This would solve a whole lot of problems.  I believe that flag I did back in 2005 when people were talking about red state “Jesus Land” could still be our guide.  I propose that the five Gulf of Mexico states secede, namely Texas, Louisians,  Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.    And these would be joined by Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina.   We could start with these eight.  We would have 42 states and they would have eight.  They could conduct a business showing off their Civil War sites.  You have Ft Sumpter- - where the War started- - and Vicksburg, where they lost, and New Orleans, which they lost, and Atlanta, where they lost badly.   And then you’d have Stone Mountain and Montgomery and Natches ante-bellem mansions - - to show off.   It would solve this gridlock in government problem.  Because the rest of us would have a democratic House and Senate for the foreseeable future.  And they would still have to contend with all of these Latinos coming in and contaminating with their liberalism (as Hannity puts it) places like south Florida, and Texas.   We could go for a while with just these eight states for kind of a five year trial period, and see if we wanted to let them expand to more states after that date of 2020 or so.  The idea has a lot of positives.

Leo says that even for “automated houses” now you don’t need wiring any more because turning off and on appliances can be accomplished by Wi Fi.   And if you are going to use wiring- don’t use fiber optics because that’s too expensive.  Don’t use Cat-Five, use Cat-Six that’s out now.  Leo has pretty much decided he likes Windows 8.1 since it’s a major improvement over 8.0.  But he says the next windows tentatively will be called Threshhold, and it will be a full return to the desktop mode, and they are bringing back the Start Menu.  Leo says the BOSE is way over-priced, and for a quarter of the price you can get a pretty good Pioneer “Sound Bar” with six speakers, that give you good directionality.  All you need to add to that is a sub whoofer.   And these Sound Bars are wireless.  Leo implied that to get Satellite Internet you really need a dish.  So that when these people just get it on their cell phones, I take it they are wither working from a Wi Fi hot spot- - or else getting it from a microwave tower at maybe 5.8 gigs or something.  So why do I get the feeling Dr Levy won’t give me a straight answer if I ask him.  Of course L:eo reminds us that wireless internet is still way slow, and is unusable for something like NETFLIX.    It seems that Netflix and Vorizon are blaming each other for slow downloads but it’s really Vorizon’s fault.  But now Leo Laporte seems to be back-peddeling on his longstanding position against a preferencial internet.  Leo reminds us that Google pays up and all of Vorizon’s other providers pay up and get upgraded service so I guess Netflix might as well do the same thing.  But if the case were to come to trial I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that getting a jury verdict against Vorizon would be a slam dunk.  Because the common people still don’t like big corporations screwing us over.

These crazy Republicans eat their own!  I was watching Ed Schultz last night apart from the earlier brief outing.   There was this Lewis Gomer of Texas who is a house member who is a whack job of the first order.  He was grilling this Preacher guy, who believes in Christian love and tollarance and all this stuff Gomer can’t stand.  Gomer was like this Mc Carthy guy really hammering it home for the preacher to come out and say that anyone who doesn’t accept Christ before they die is going to hell.   The Preacher says “You may go to Hell for other things, but not that.  And besides Hell isn’t necessarily what you think it is, anyway”.    The one scripture they love- - and screw the rest of the Four Gospels- - is the one where Jesus is quoted as saying “No man comes to the Father but by me and he who comes before or after me is a thief and a robber”.    And then you have Ted Nugent.  Ted Nugent has completely lost his mind!  Now he’s coming out and attacking Eric Cantor- - and this is AFTER he lost.  But he does this in a most hysterical convolution of terms talking about Jewish conspiracies and Herman Goebles and Sol Allinski and the socialist agenda all in one breath.  And everything he said was so obscenity laden he had to be continually bleeped.   And he would say things like “How DARE you call me mean spirited- - why I’m one of the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet” and meanwhile he’s kind of rising out of his chair and raising a shoulder like he’s preparing to belt somebody in the mouth.  Ted Nugent also has a credibility problem because two years ago when he went off on Obama to begin with, he stated that “If President Obama gets reelected, I’ll either be dead or no longer living in the United States” and yet he’s still here.  I don’t know what country would even accept him at this point- - maybe somewhere like Honduras.   And also (not that it matters at this point) the NRA that Ted is so tied to – endorsed Cantor.  Ted Nugent has no soul left.  He has lost his cosmic identity.  Who can say just when that happens?  Bur during last night’s hockey game in the first overtime, Mal Evans contacted me and said his home race had voted to certify that he’d lost his Soul, basically.   Just the insanity of going after an ultra conservative like Cantor and calling him those names- - because going after Black people is one thing but going after a Jew is quite another.  Because then you’ve got their God coming after you.   Like I say- - what’s left of Ted’s mind is totally Gone - - now.

The LA Kings won the Stanley Cup last night 3 to 2 beating the Rangers scoring close to the end of the second overtime at almost nine thirty out time.   I had turned to KNBC expecting to watch Dateline, because I had lost all hope NBC would show any more games.  There they were at the end of regulation tied two to two.  They played one round- - and somewhere in there I dozed off during the entire break between rounds one and two of Overtime- - and roused during the second OT round.   They had the MVP trophy and then the Stanley Cup presentation.  So now the only “winter sport” left is basketball and that could come to an abrupt end tomorrow night as the Miami Heat finds themselves in a similar situation faced by the NY Rangers down three games to one.

Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails

The Historical Speech You’ve Heard About

January 16, 2009

The Final Paragraph (in purple font) is Really Strange - -

RUSH: I got a request here from a major American print publication. "Dear Rush: For the Obama [Immaculate] Inauguration we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency. We would love to include you. If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night, that would be ideal." Now, we're caught in this trap again. The premise is, what is your "hope." My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, "Well, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance." Why? They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I'm not talking about search-and-destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed.

If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails." (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, "Oh, you can't do that." Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: "Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails." Somebody's gotta say it.  [some text missing here ] succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we have to play the game by their rules? Why do we have to accept the premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency, that we want him to succeed? This is affirmative action, if we do that.  [Do] we want to promote incompetence?  [Do] we want to stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color of his skin? Sorry. I got past the historical nature of this months ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man standing.  I'm happy to be the last man standing. I'm honored to be the last man standing. Yeah, I'm the true maverick. I can do more than four words. I could say I hope he fails and I could do a brief explanation of why. You know, I want to win. If my party doesn't, I do. If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I'm now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts. I'm serious about this. Why in the world, it's what Ann Coulter was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these victims here, we gotta make sure the victims are finally assuaged. Well, the dirty little secret is this isn't going to assuage anybody's victim status, and the race industry isn't going to go away, and the fact that America's original sin of slavery is going to be absolved, it's not going to happen. Just isn't, folks. It's too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country into groups that are against each other. Yes, I'm fired up about this.  Reasons number 249 and 50 why I'm not a Republican.

 Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has been chosen to introduce Vice-President-elect Biden at a bipartisan dinner in Washington on the eve of the immaculation. Biden was one of Hagel's closest friends in the Senate. "Bipartisan dinners also held that night honoring McCain and Colin Powell. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will introduce McCain at a dinner." So all these Republicans are being honored on the night before Obama is immaculately inaugurated, as though they're part of the Obama administration. Our presidential candidate is being honored. I can understand liberals honoring their losers, but I just --
