For someone who is supposed to be a flake (according to some) she sure gets people riled up. Some people do get riled up over stupidity. She was the most shallow and ignorant VP nominee I have ever seen. Of course I am only 45 so that only gives me about 6 or so elections to speak from. ever hear of Al Gore...and...all his global warming nonsense ?... and maybe no Obama !...right ?... ... |

Never heard of anyone being addicted to viagra. That would be a painful addiction. One of thought he'd take cialis so he could be ready anytime. After all when it comes to prostitutes, time is money. Actually, it was oxycodone....he was booked and fingerprinted then weasled his way out of jail. He is a nasty person and full of hate. all in the name of defeating...Liberalism... |

Please do not take this thread off topic. I am still wondering why Rush took Viagra to the Dominican Republic for a "vacation" It is well known the Dominican Republic thrives on the "sex" trade. Because he is a pervert and a druggie. he's also right...99.1% of the time... |

well...let's take a look at how that Hope and Change is workin' for ya'...
Poll: Obama slipping further on economyposted at 1:35 pm on July 2, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Rasmussen’s new poll, taken before the release of June’s unemployment numbers, shows significant slippage for Barack Obama on the economy, his central issue. Only 42% of American voters give him excellent or good marks on handling the economy, the lowest ratings he has yet received. His personal approval rate has fallen to 53%, and the “passion index” has dropped to -2: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 33% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-five percent (35%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. This is the third straight day the Approval Index has been below zero (see trends). A Rasmussen video report notes that 42% now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy . That’s his lowest rating to date … Overall, 53% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. Forty-six percent (46%) disapprove. Obama has hit a new high among those rating him fair or poor on the economy at 56%. Just a week ago, 47% approved of his economic policies, as opposed to 50% disapproval, a margin of 3% — a statistical dead heat. Obama had been seen more favorable than not on the economy as late as the second week of May, when he held a 51%-48% advantage. The demographics of his decline portend more bad news for Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress. Only the youngest voters support him on fiscal policy, and only barely, 52%-46%. Every other age demographic above 30 years of age has majorities now showing disapproval. Independents have begun to run away in massive numbers; they now oppose him 75%-23%, a huge break away from Obama and a sign that his supposed moderate stances have been exposed as shams. Every income level except the lowest also has majorities disapproving of his handling of the economy. Voters outside the “political class” oppose Obama 65%-33%. Obama doesn’t fare well on national security, either. Rasmussen reports that Obama only has 44% approval on these issues, and 55% opposing him. Majorities of both women and men view him disfavorably. Every income level has majorities opposed to Obama, and independents disapprove 68%-31%. Obama only wins within the $60K-$75K income level; even his base of support among the lowest income earners narrowly reject Obama’s national-security policies, 52%-47%. Obama isn’t just coming back to Earth in the polling. He’s losing independents and demonstrating his radical bent on policy, and more and more Americans have begun to see it |

here Jim...read some of his transcripts from todays show...
Obama's Economic Plan is Working July 2, 2009 Listen To It! WMP | RealPlayer Audio clips available for Rush 24/7 members only -- Join Now! BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Unemployment is now at 9.5%; 467,000 jobs were cut in June. This is "far more than what was expected." Since President Obama took office, over two million jobs in less than six months, or close to six months, have been lost -- and it is astounding, it is hilarious to read State-Run Media today try to go through the contortions of making this sound not as bad as it is. Here is... Let's see. This is Reuters. "The June job losses were more than 100,000 greater than the 363,000 consensus of Wall Street economists polled by Reuters and that broke a four month trend..." We've got more... Unemployment's, what, more people out of work than since 1994! It's incredible here. Why is it so hard just to report it's worse than anybody predicted? What is so hard about reporting how bad this is? Well, because it doesn't fit the template. You see by now everybody was supposed to be happy and we were supposed to be digging ditches and building roads and bridges and new schools -- and everybody was supposed to be wearing their Obama caps and uniforms and going, "Ooh, aren't we lucky! Aren't we cool," and it isn't happening. Like I saw on TV this morning, this dunce reporter: "Is it time for a second stimulus?" And the Obamaite actually goofed up and said, "I'm still trying to get my hands on the first stimulus." (laughing) Most of it hasn't been spent, ladies and gentlemen. "Manhattan apartment sales plunged more than 50%. The average price dropped 21.4% to 24% from a year ago, down almost 25%," and they had computer problems at the New York Stock Exchange. Before that they announced the worst pre-Fourth of July trading day in history. And our good buddies over at the Associated Press try to say in their report that the recession began in December of 2007 and that we've lost a total of six and a half million jobs since then. But that's not when the recession began. The recession began in 2008. They say 2007, so they can blame all this on Bush -- and even the Obamaite Lisa Jackson who was on TV this morning, kept talking about, "Well, it's what we inherited. We inherited... We inherited..." So they're doing everything they can to blame this on Bush, to come out and say, "You know, it's worse than we thought it was," which, by the way, I predicted they would say. "It's worse than we thought it was," and so now Obama is going to head out there and he's going to do a speech. He's going to talk about the unemployment numbers at two o'clock this afternoon. What do you think he's going to say? He's going to say, "It's bad. But I want it to be bad. I didn't know how bad because we didn't know. We didn't get the truth about how bad it was from what we inherited. But just think of how bad it would be if we hadn't acted." That's what he'll say. You want to take any bets on this? "It could be worse, folks. If we hadn't acted I shudder to think what our jobs situation would be in this country." It's precisely the wrong kind of government intervention that has caused this and prolonged it, and he owns it, whether he wants to or not. The market was down, at one point today, 150 points on the news, on the unemployment news. I still maintain -- and as you know, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not pulling any punches here. I maintain that Obama's stimulus bill is working exactly as intended: rising unemployment, crisis. This is what they want. Now, if it starts affecting poll numbers, which it has, you're just going to see him out there trying to work his magic with his dulcet tones. Like at two o'clock this afternoon, he's going to be out there trying to make it all seem okay and how bad it would have been if he hadn't been elected, if he hadn't done the stimulus. What we have today is just another day of evidence of the president's successful assault on prosperity. Obama is winning, folks. If things get bad enough, everyone will have to look at the government for everything, including health care. Obama is remaking America just as he promised. Let me ask you a quick question to illustrate my point here. If you wanted more people to demand free health care, if you wanted more people to demand a government health care program, wouldn't you want to drive their bills through the roof? Wouldn't you want to make 'em more and more unemployed because we don't have "portability" of health insurance. So the worse you can create economic circumstances and the more pain that you can create for people, the greater the odds are they will sign up for your agenda. This is by design, folks! This is chaos. This is "remaking America. " Cap and trade, health care, unemployment numbers, this is what they intend to do: "Return the nation's wealth to its, quote, unquote, 'rightful owners,'" and I don't say that in a complimentary way. And the reason I am insistent and serious that this is being done on purpose is that (to borrow one of Obama's lines) there isn't an economist anywhere who would suggest doing this and keeping it up. After one year of abject failure, compounding the problem, making it worse, they gotta be doing it on purpose. Now, if you want to give Obama some slack, you might say, "Rush, you know what? He came into office and he had an agenda. He's going to do what he's going to do regardless the circumstances he finds." So? Even if you want to cut him some slack saying that, you're still talking about a guy who's a lousy president, who's not recognizing circumstance and doing his agenda anyway. He is destroying the private sector he wants to fleece. He's fleecing it and destroying it at the same time. He's taking it over. There's evidence all over the place that Obama is remaking America just as he promised. He's pushing, begging, pleading, kneecapping senators now to pass cap and tax. How many people have predicted good times are just around the corner since the moment he was inaugurated? Remember? I've got the quotes coming up from Larry Summers, all these economic experts told you how hot it was going to be, how wonderful it was going to be. They said unemployment would peak at 8%. Now, I see MSNBC running a crawl that Obama said unemployment would peak at 9%. When he's actually said, "It's going to hit ten." It's going to hit 10% and it's going to hit 10% this year, and wait 'til you hear some of the audio sound bites. CNBC... I'm surprised that that network has not been shut down by Jeff Immelt at NBC, because he runs it, but that network today and this morning is just all over this, and it ain't pretty, and it ain't supportive of Barack Obama -- and that's not what they want at NBC. So if you like some of the people at CNBC, watch today and tomorrow 'cause next week there's no telling if they'll have jobs. We have sound bites from them coming up. We also have two sound bites from CNN about how wonderful the economy is and the evidence that it's growing. The fact that you have less money is making you happier. You're being more frugal! You finally have realized your responsibilities and become disciplined people. It's just amazing. |

Just curious. Why does Senor Oxycontin never have guests on his show? And why does he never appear on any other show? Could he be fearing an opposing point of view? One that might challenge his many lies? "Get out the way Old Dan Tucker. You're too late to get your supper" Sorry, was just listening to some Bruce on youtube. Sessions band . Great stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-GHbDFrwlU can you refute what the man says ?...I doubt it !!...Jethro...the Gent... |

I know who they were. They weren't cramming the term, "family values" down our throats while they were running for President and after they married their mistress. Family values and having an affair and marrying the gf are NOT family values!! How can a person like that talk about family values? What right-wing CIC did these things?? Reagan?? Bush?? Nixon?? Dubya?? All I know of is Gov Sanford. But I WILL say this, as in the case of Clinton, if they're gonna lie to their wives, I don't want them having a hand in running my country. What else will they lie about? Right OR left... I'm talking about McCain when he ran for President. He's a moderate so it doesn't matter. He was running to be a Republican President. He touted family values with the history of having a gf while he was married and married the gf. That did not go over well with me. he never touted Family Values...the last Republican to do that was Bush Sr. in 88... |
