rssLimbaugh, I Beg You to Stop Helping Me

Whining about Rush Limbaugh’s media coverage: it’s all the rage! Here’s Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee:
According to Politico newspaper yesterday, this coordinated strategy began with “conversations and email exchanges” taking place “in and out of the White House” between former Clinton political operative James Carville, the political team at the Democrat National Committee, and White House staff. The article goes on to note that “a senior White House aide has been tasked with helping to guide the Limbaugh strategy.”
This is an outrage. It appears the Obama Administration has forgotten that the salaries of White House staff are paid for by you the taxpayer.
Here’s Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio):
Markets are plunging, businesses are cutting jobs and families are growing more anxious every day. Moments like this demand the kind of cooperation and new way of doing business that Obama has promised. Instead, those around him are taking to the airwaves and the pages of our nation’s newspapers to carry out a campaign intended to change the subject and divert attention from what matters most: finding a way to work together to get our economy moving again.
And here was Boehner, in his waning days as House majority leader, explaining to John Gibson of Fox News why Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) botched “stuck in Iraq” joke was the most important issue of early November 2006.
GIBSON: You really think it’s a four or five day story?
BOEHNER: If he’s not going to apologize, we’re going to beat him to death until he does.
That was different, I guess.

We already had the Presidential Debates. If Rush had the answers to our problems, why did he not run for President? I wish that Chicken Hawk Rush Limpball would run. Currently, he mouths off and does not have to worry about responsibility, let alone research and the consequences of his actions. He will not run for office because he is the quintessential Chicken-Hawk. It took eight years for the Republican Reactionary Neo-Cons to create this economic depression, and it will take a few years to resolve it. I know Rush Limbaugh is serious, and he is seriously demented. Rush Limball is an entertainer who is responsible to no one but his advertisers. Rush Limball, has never been elected to anything by popular vote. President Obama has more important people to deal with. There are 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, 50 Governors, the Department of Defense, business and industry leaders, and heads of states from around the World. He was elected to deal with the issues of the United States, not to help Rush Limball's advertisers.

Limbaugh pushes all the time, he should expect a response. With all his personal history, he's got nerve to point fingers at anyone.

If they were concerned at all, our party would have left Rush in the cold, and put a true leader to lead our party. They are playing a ploy that is no better than Obama silly aids doing at this time. As long as they bow down to the likes of RUSH, they have no reason to complain how they are played. This would have ended the very day it started, If they had the guts to stand up and say,” Rush is a republicans that carry a few of our views, but he is simply a talk radio host who does not lead of speak for our party:. End of story! No , they had to bring him to the republican CPAC to speak on their behalf along with other talk host like that silly out rages Ann coulter. so they have no one to blame for this bullying back and forth but themselfs were Rush is concerned.

I would say that the Repubs and Dems would take good constructive ideas from any source.
The benchmark is are the ideas good and constructive in this time of National need?
Perhaps we need to start with:
Fix the problem not the blame.
Lets fix the problems and stop calling each other names. If the idea is good use it
Lets get egos and party names out from in front of our brains. The Country and its citizens need help.

Rush is not the leader of the Republican party. He is a loud voice for Conservatives. The whimpy Republicans need to wake up and Rush may be the guy that opens their eyes to the true Obama. Obama's agenda is nothing anyone in their right mind would want to succeed.
