Brutus is an honorable man.

After the Republican cries that folks like Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, Colin Powell and Meghan McCain should know their role and shut their mouth you have the gall to cry foul?

da noid,

You intentionally failed to mention that Crist, and Murkowski were both soundly and fairly beaten in their respective primaries when playing by the rules.... but, similar to most typical democrats.... when they can't win fairly and honestly... they demand to play by an entirely different set of rules.

Colin Powell and Mrs. McCain are both un-elected citizens who are clearly entitled to voice their own opinions....as are any other American citizen.

Tell everyone here on the newsvine WHO it is that is demanding that Mr. Powell and Mrs. McCain "shut their mouths" ???

Thank you for proving a point.

da noid... Please prove your point...

Are you going to tell us WHO it is that is demanding that Colin Powell and Mrs. McCain should "shut their mouths" ???

1. Charlie Crist was not "soundly and fairly beaten" in the Florida primary. He withdrew from the primary and began his independant campaign before the primary took place.

2. Lisa Murkowski had every right to run as a write-in candidate after losing to Joe Miller in the Alaska primary. If you don't believe me you should probably check the laws of the state of Alaska. No rules were broken or changed to accomodate her run.

3. After Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 he was told by Rush Limbaugh to go be a Democrat. Pat Buchanan dismissed Powell's endorsement as simply being made because Obama was black. Dick Cheney, when asked for his opinion on the Limbaugh-Powell squabble said, "If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush Limbaugh, I think. I think my take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican."

4. Meghan McCain (that would be Ms. McCain, John's daugher, not Mrs. McCain, his wife), after her appearance on ABC's This Week in which she was critical of Christine O'Donnell, was trashed by the right-wing blogosphere. Doug Powers, on Michelle Malkin's blog, led his review of the comments with the infamous Twitter photo "to remind myself to check my tire pressure later this afternoon." Dan Riehl, on his blog, called her "Meggie 'Big Mac' McCain" and said, "this self-indulgent set of mega-breasts doesn't belong anywhere near a TV studio commenting on anything." Jeff Poor, a writer for the Media Research Center's Business & Media Institute, re-tweeted a comment that he received. It read, "I swear, if Meghan McCain gets any dumber she'll be drooling on her boobs." Tell me, did Cindy McCain get a chill down her spine when her own daughter got blasted like this?

Were the actual words "Shut Your Mouth" used? No, but the message was nonetheless made clear.

The bottom line....

Crist (and America) knew he was going to lose.... so, he desparately tried to change the rules.

Murkowski (and America) knew she was going to lose.... so, she desparately tried to change the rules.

While the jury is still out on the Miller/Murkowski results... there was a clear winner for the Republican party during the primaries - Joe Miller. However, since it is Murkowski's obcession to hold on to power, by any means possible... whether it is abiding by the traditional rules of having one winning candidate per party during a primary.... or changing the rules into whatever will benefit only her and her, alone.

The reality is....All things being equal.... liberal progressives have proven they cannot compete on an even playing field.... and, the more "liberal" and the more "progressive" they are.... the more they are obcessed with changing the rules in their favor... period.

I answered your question so perhaps now you can enlighten me...

How is running as an independant "changing the rules"?

How is running as a write-in candidate "changing the rules"?

da noid

No one is denying the fact that Crist and Murkowski have a "legal right" to do they are doing. But, the honest question is whether or not desparately trying to find a loop hole or technicality to gain political power ultimately destroys ANY respect and admiration from constituents.

As most of us know.... politicians being concerned about whether or not they have the "respect" and "admiration" of their constituents is the truly furthest thing from their minds.... as is being proven with Charlie Crist and Lisa Murkowski.

It's truly a sad state in America when our politicians and the power of liberal progressives has been determined by "grey areas", "technicalities", and "loop holes" which, often times they have created..... and even more sad....they have absolutely NO conscience to even care what their constituents think.

So, now a law that allows you to run as a write-in candidate is a "loophole"? Really?

And a decision to run as an Independant is a "technicality"?

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean a rule was broken to do it. Get over yourself.

While your at it, keep in mind that these were proud members of your precious Republican Party...you know, the ones you claim aren't in it for power.

The undeniable fact is.... both candidates... Crist and Murkowski began running for U.S. Senate in each of their respective primaries as the "winner-take-all" Republican nominee on an even playing field.

As the primary election day neared, they both realized that they don't have a chance in hell of winning. Instead of honestly admitting that their constituents DID NOT want them to be the chosen Republican nominee....and that Marco Rubio and Joe Miller honestly won the primary fair and square, they demanded that the playing field be changed.... yes, searching for alternative loopholes and technicalities.

This is why America is so digusted with politicians.... their addiction for POWER is much greater than that of a "crack" addict..... nothing is sacred with them..... not even their soul.

Out of curiousity, how will you feel if Lisa Murkowski is, in fact, re-elected by the people of Alaska?

pat,

I don't recall anyone on the Republican side of the aisle intentionally trying to create a bogusly phony title or position to diminish and eliminate the competition for a power-leadership position.... do you?

But, again... Liberal Democrats have always demanded to play only by their own self-benefitting rules.

Hi Pat Boston MA Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Speaker Pelosi is a despicable human being? Is that right?

Nancy Pelosi is a strong smart woman. And a Democrat. You should have listened to her when she spoke up against Iraq. We need women like her in our government.

Not liars and hypocrites like Mitch McConnell. Even his own hometown newspaper is railing against him for asking President Bush to pull troops out of Iraq so that the GOP could win in November.

I agree she is a very strong and capable woman; unlike the bimbos in the republi-clowns/tea party. Especially, that toxic, polarizing Sarah Palin. Did you see where she morphed into a Mariah Carey?

During a paid speech at a fundraiser for Plumstead Christian School in Plumstead Township, Pennsylvania. Sarah said wrongly as usual...

"I brought dozens and dozens of cookies," she said. "I had to shake it up for you guys, especially the press okay."

As she Tweeted earlier in the day, Palin wanted to "intro kids 2 beauty of laissez-faire via serving them cookies amidst school cookie ban debate." She called it "Nanny state run amok!"

My young adult kids keep abreast of pop culture. This is Mariah Carey's shake it off video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZVdDl_asYY

But, I prefer hearing her like these stanzas in another Mariah Carey video after Iowa. She is definitely out of her ELEMENT.

When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break

I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my ELEMENT
Throwing things
Crying
Tryin` to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong

But, Eric Cantor is the most despicable human being on American soil today and should be charged with treason!!!

Eric Cantor told a foreign country he would assist it in bringing down President Obama?

Regarding the midterms, Cantor may have given Netanyahu some reason to stand firm against the American administration.

“Eric stressed that the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Administration and what has been, up until this point, one party rule in Washington,” the readout continued. “He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other.”

Rozen also noted that a “veteran observer of U.S.-Israeli relations Ron Kampeas said he found that statement ‘an eyebrow-raiser.

Ron Kampeas from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency news agency found Cantor's comments extremely surprising, writing, "I can't remember an opposition leader telling a foreign leader, in a personal meeting, that he would side, as a policy, with that leader against the president. Certainly, in statements on one specific issue or another -- building in Jerusalem, or somesuch -- lawmakers have taken the sides of other nations. But to have-a-face to face and say, in general, we will take your side against the White House -- that sounds to me extraordinary."

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/12/cantor-netanyahu-check/

This is not the first time Eric Cantor has gone against America. Eric Cantor actually invests in an exchange-traded fund that “takes a short position in long-dated government bonds” — effectively betting against the U.S. Treasury bonds that the government uses to fund its operations:

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/06/18/eric-cantor-treasury-bonds/

I don't recall anyone on the Republican side of the aisle intentionally trying to create a bogusly phony title or position to diminish and eliminate the competition for a power-leadership position.... do you?

http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/1110/GOP_will_offer_leadership_role_to_a_freshman.html

PS - If something is "bogusly phony" does that mean it's real? I mean if you think about it, it's kind of like a double negative, don't you think?

da noid...

Who was this "freshman" congress person competing with and trying to eliminate ??

PS- No (bogusly is a descriptive adverb describing the noun or adjective phony)

Who was this "freshman" congress person competing with and trying to eliminate ??

Duly noted. Nevertheless, a "bogusly phony" position was created. You have to admire the irony, don't you?

Democrats create a leadership position for Jim Clyburn = OUTRAGE!!!

Republicans create a leadership position for a freshman member of Congress = crickets.

Is this newly, Republican-created "leadership" position for the "freshman" congressman equivalent to the 3rd highest ranking member of the GOP caucus ???.... which is what Jim Clyburn is settling for.

As I mentioned.... the constant, never-ending liberal fight is over POWER...and POWER alone ! and who can get and keep the MOST... at any cost....whether it's done fairly, or NOT.... it seems even to the point of freely selling their own souls.

Do you think Nancy is not having sleepless nights ??.... knowing that she is going to have to relinquish her "golden" gavel ???....

It's a rhetorical question.... and we both already know the answer.

Okay, then. By all means, go on believing that this new batch of Republicans (same as the old batch) is above corruption.

For, Brutus is an honorable man. So are they all honorable men.

I just wonder...what did Michele Bachmann in exchange for "dropping out" of the running to be GOP Conference Chair?

Beverly,

But, Eric Cantor is the most despicable human being on American soil today and should be charged with treason!!!

Nice histrionics.

Eric Cantor told a foreign country he would assist it in bringing down President Obama?

Nice histrionic hyperbole.

So Eric stressed that the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Administration's one party rule. And from this you get that Israel is trying to bring down President Obama and Eric is assisting him and his guilty of treason?

You are probably way to crazy to even understand how crazy you sound.

Oh well, here goes anyway.

The operative word in Eric's statement is check. The founding dads stressed the same word - check -as in checks and balances. Constitutional stuff. I know thinkformeprogressive probably wouldn't be much help but you might want to Wiki it someday - good stuff.

Bottom line Bev, so many lefties here at FR seem to believe, (and evidently Obama himself), that the election granted him the power to rule, not the privilege to serve the people.

Mistakes happen. The founding fathers realized this. Checks and balance. That's all Cantor is doing and that is what the American people voted for this past election. Pretty cool.

BTW - To all the lefties and all the lyrics stuff, it's great, really enjoy it. Funny, but after reading your comments, I normally seem to think of other Beatle or Hendrix songs / lyrics.....Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Purple Haze.....

Thanks nonetheless.

Good morning Beverly. I sure love Sunday mornings, my favorite time of the week. Get up early, make a few cups of tea, sit back and read messages and posts here on First Read. I hope you're enjoying your weekend as well. We have had some beautiful weather here in Boston this weekend. Absolutely beautiful. Do you like Johnny Cash? His best song I always thought (and he had a million songs that I love!) - was Sunday Morning Coming Down. Exquisite, sad yet absolutely beautiful. The perfect song for him to sing. I think of all the singers from back then, it's Johnny Cash who I miss the most. I grew up listening to him. My older brother would play his records over and over and over, every day for years. I adored his record A Boy Named Sue as well. But this one here - the prettiest song ever.

Well I woke up Sunday morning,
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
On the Sunday morning sidewalk,
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cos there's something in a Sunday,
Makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothin' short of dyin',
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sleepin' city sidewalks:
Sunday mornin' comin' down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E824r7KrVPw

Pat, very well said, thank you...

Good morning Pat Boston MA

Yes, I like Johnny Cash. I'm laid back too this morning. I plan to go shopping later. Tennessee Ernie Ford was another of my favorite childhood recording artist. My mother would play it and "Honky Tonk" over and over every morning before school.

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joo90ZWrUkU&feature=related

I'll be feeling like I owe my soul to the company store :)

Beverly, Sixteen Tons has got to be one of the best songs ever written. We used to sing it all the time when we were kids. It's a fabulous song. It's too bad we don't have those variety shows any longer when we could see Tennessee Ernie Ford and all those great performers. I lived for the Johnny Cash Show, The Dean Martin Show, Ed Sullivan and all of the others. I youtube them all the time now.

America produced some really unbelievable talent. Unbelievable song writers and singers. Same with the movies. And Broadway. As well as our authors and our comedians. These are the people who gave America her heart & soul. So many of those early comedians and actors were from the Lower East Side of New York.

Rose, thank you as well.

Good post, Mixed.

Mixed Bag

As we all know, the real internecine rivalries are supposed to occur in the Republican Party.

I heard a FOX NOISE commentator say that same exact thing this morning. LOL

Look first of all, it's laughable that you would call me crazy; specifically, when it's a well know observation by most of the world Tea baggers are as crazy as a three ring circus.

Hey, Roger this, good buddy

You blew the operative words; it's not checks and blances it's treason!!! What Eric Cantor did was treasonous. Check that out in Wiki.

If Eric Cantor is so American, patriotic, and interested in her success why did he actually invest in an exchange-traded fund that "takes a short position in long-dated government bonds" — effectively betting against the U.S. Treasury bonds that the government uses to fund its operations?

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/06/18/eric-cantors-investment/?mod=e2tw

Also keep in mind, a few years ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Syria and met with Bashar al-Assad. At the time, none other than Eric Cantor personally accused Pelosi of possibly violating the Logan Act, "which makes it a felony for any American 'without authority of the United States' to communicate with a foreign government to influence that government's behavior on any disputes with the United States."

You can find the Logan Act in Wiki.

Her message to Assad was that congressional Democrats will forbid the president from increasing pressure on Damascus to stop its murderous way. Several leading legal authorities have made the case that her recent diplomatic overtures ran afoul of the Logan Act, which makes it a felony for any American “without authority of the United States” to communicate with a foreign government to influence that government’s behavior on any disputes with the United States.

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/220559/assads-speaker/eric-cantor#

Eric Cantor personally accused Pelosi of possibly violating the Logan Act, "which makes it a felony for any American 'without authority of the United States' to communicate with a foreign government to influence that government's behavior on any disputes with the United States."

As Adam Serwer noted yesterday, "Based on Cantor's own standard, he's just committed a felony."

In 2007,, John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, insisted, "I would simply hope that people would understand that, under the Constitution, the president conducts foreign policy, not the speaker of the House."

OK, then I apply that same standard to the House Minority Whip; Eric Cantor in addition to his despicable in addition to his unpatriotic, betting against the U.S. Treasury bonds that the government uses to fund its operations !!!

Btw: Israel is., what a great ally it’s still doing construction in the West Bank

Clueless in Chicago,

Pelosi travels to the other side of the world to meet with a murderous regime that is one of the two biggest supporters of terrorism and a regime that was actively causing / contributing to the deaths of American service members in Irag.

Thanks for reminding us of the true meaning of despicable and loathesome.

Israel has been a long time friend and ally to the United States. The Muslim infatuated Obama has constantly abused and insulted Israel. The gutless One goes to the world's largest Muslim population nation to rip Israel last week while Clinton meets with Netanyahu for seven hour's to try to push and arm twist her boss's duplicitous deceit and manipulation regarding the construction freeze. Afterward, Netanyahu drops by Cantor's office to see if there is anyone sane in the US government anymore.

I doubt you will get it, but here is the clarification. The 2003 Freeze was for construction in the settlements, such as the West Bank. Israel announced construction of 1,345 new units in Jerusalem. The Muslims got upset and went to their poodle president in the US.

So Obama sides with the terrorist, does their bidding, telling Israel they not only cannot build in a settlement, but they cannot even build an apartment in their own nation's capital. Sheeez.

Who's the real friend and ally, huh?

bob-1805084

Clueless in Chicago

Sorry, I don't have my TeaBagger dictionary handy.

Israel has violated over 30 UN Security Council resolutions dating back to 1968, resolutions that require action by Israel and Israel alone. If any other state in this world were guilty of such persistent refusal to obey the will of the "international community", it would be subject to continuous threats of economic and/or military sanctions by the US and the EU . We would never hear the end of it.

Hardly a day passes without it threatening to attack Iran, contrary to Article 2.4 of the Charter. This provision requires all U.N. member states to "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

In 1978, and again in 1982, it attacked Lebanon and forcibly occupied part of it from 1982 until 2000. For 20 years, it ignored the Security Council demand (in resolution 425) that called upon it "immediately to cease its military action against Lebanese territorial integrity and withdraw forth with its forces from all Lebanese territory". It finally withdrew its ground forces from Lebanon (apart from Shebaa Farms), because of military pressure from Hezbollah.

It attacked Lebanon again in July 2006, and withdrew a month later, again because of military pressure from Hezbollah. Israeli aircraft still regularly violate Lebanese sovereignty today, contrary to the UN Charter and various Security Council resolutions.

But, you do not want to equate what Speaker Pelosi did to Eric Cantor's violation of the "Logan Act"; which Eric Cantor so succinctly accused Speaker Pelosi of. In Right wing world no matter how hypocritical the stance; the right is always right; right?

Also, I noticed you didn't criticize Eric Cantor for betting against the U.S. Treasury bonds that the government uses to fund its operations. That is despicable!!!!!

Secret South African documents reveal that Israel offered to sell nuclear warheads to the apartheid regime, providing the first official documentary evidence of the state's possession of nuclear weapons.

They will also undermine Israel's attempts to suggest that, if it has nuclear weapons, it is a "responsible" power that would not misuse them, whereas countries such as Iran cannot be trusted.

http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2010/05/israel-offered-to-sell-nukes-to-south-africa

Jerusalem offered to return most of the Golan Heights to Syria in 2000, but Damascus rejected the offer because it excluded the water-rich eastern shore.

Israeli raided a Turkish aid ship sailing to Gaza in attempt to violate the Israeli naval blockade.

What is the one thing the terrorist and the rest of the world want?

A resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would take away much of the motivation for terrorism around the world. Georgie Boy's insatiability also opened up a powder keg in the Middle East. Bush could have gotten Bin Laden in Tora Bora, which may have put a damper on the terrorist; dunno?

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/11/11/pakistan.qaeda/index.html

But no, Curious George and his master puppeteer, Cheney, were to eager to jump into Iraq. For Cheney it was the black gold; and Bush wanted a war under his belt to maker self look great in the history books.

'He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,' said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. 'It was on his mind. He said to me: 'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.'

http://crooksandliars.com/2005/06/10/3059

At first glance, I will admit Ahmadinejad's rant to "wipe Israel off the map sounds threatening and very harsh. . Ahmadinejad has even gone so far as to say the Holocaust didn't exist. Ahmadinejad doesn't control anything. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the Ayatollah is said to have issued a fatwa some time ago against nuclear weapons.

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mullen has stressed the instability that would result from an attack on Iran, while acknowledging at the same time that the US has plans for all options.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu constantly stresses what he sees as a potential existential threat from Iran. So the possibility of an attack, by Israel at least, remains.

BTW: why hasn't Israel signed under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as evidenced by its selling nuclear weapons to PW Botha's apartheid regime in South Africa?

Ahmadinejad's rhetoric, flight of imagination, and denial is just as toxic as Glenn Beck attacking George Soros as a Holocaust collaborator, FDR, ACORN, Anita Dunn, Cass Sunstein Van Jones, the President, unions, any progressive, and whatever Beck can conjure up in his sick mind.

As far as your hateful spew about the President being a Muslim lover, that's just not the case.

The Obama administration will ask Congress to approve giving Israel $3 billion (1 billion pounds) worth of advanced F-35 jets in exchange for an extension on the moratorium.

Palestinian officials have expressed ANGER over U.S. incentives to get Israel to prolong the partial moratorium on Jewish settlement building, saying it effectively constituted bribing Israel to fulfill basic international obligations.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE6AD12P20101114

Israel gets something for nothing; again. Israel will never honor the freeze. It is not their land. They are not genetically linked to Jerusalem no matter how you cut the dice. The Israeli government comes up short of the will to achieve peace; as long as America placates Israel with money and blind faith.

Also propaganda and terrorism will increase as long as Israel continues to play America like a Stradivarius.

Reality and propaganda are two different creatures

Stay in denial with what "FreeDUMBWorks" and Fox Noise brainwashes you about our President.

How is betting against US Treasury bonds "despicable"? Cantor isn't the only one who engages in playing the stock market.

Snippets from http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/04/congress-bet-against-the-american-economy/

Let's start off by defining terms. Selling short in the market serves a good purpose. It curbs "irrational exuberance," and it provides investors with an important hedge to protect themselves from bad business decisions. It's easy for demagogues to cast it as "betting against America" only because most people don't understand the importance of short selling in disciplining the market and keeping bubbles from overexpanding.

Jonathan Gillibrand, husband of New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, made more than 250 transactions in options in his E*Trade account in 2008, when his wife was in the House, according to disclosures.

Rep. Shelley Berkley (D., Nev.), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, has been a critic of Wall Street. In a statement on the House floor Feb. 23, she said: "Representing Las Vegas, let me assure you, no casino on the planet behaves as irresponsibly and recklessly as Wall Street does. Wall Street ought to be ashamed, and take a lesson from the casino industry."

An account held by her husband, Lawrence Lehrner, shows 57 trades in 2008 in ETFs designed to gain $2 for each $1 drop in the value of a market index, the disclosures show. Between July 25 and July 29, 2008—four months after Bear Stearns Cos. fell—records show four trades in and out of ProShares UltraShort Financial fund.

The Democrat with the biggest political problem regarding short selling isn't in Congress. Jeff Greene made hundreds of millions of dollars in the 2007-8 financial collapse by "betting against" the residential market. Now he wants to use that money to run for the US Senate in Florida against Kendrick Meek in the Democratic primaries. If he winds up on the ticket, will Democrats continue to demonize investors who went short on the economy? At least so far, they don't seem terribly consistent.

Glass houses...stones...

I wish Rep. Clyburn had gotten it too. I like Steny Hoyer too but he's a centrist and that's what worries me.

I hated what Rush said about him the other day, by saying he would be "driving ms Nancy" How low can a man go like Rush

Rush Limpballs will say anything to create havoc. What I think is ironic about him is that he is a hypocrite. I don't think he is as bigoted toward Black as he portends. When he was caught in the West Indies with drugs he also had a suitcase full of condoms as rumor has it. Whether the condoms were for men, women, or little boys no one knows. He plays lots of Black music whereas Sean Hannity the quixotic campaigner for the Republican/Tea party plays only country music to my knowledge.

Bo Snerdley, Rush's call screener and interlocutor is African-American. Rush paid for Mr Snerdley's kids to go to college. Again it may be a rumor.

Yes, those free education, health care benefits are great. The question is this: Who is going to pay for all the free things? Let's throw in the free job, free funeral, free home......etc. Yep, that will sure work huh?
