The Cook Political Report : Connecticut Senate: A Slow, Steady Move to Toss Up
Rush Limbaugh Says He and Republicans “Not on the Same Side”
Today began like any other ordinary day. It was laundry day, and I was making some progress on what my husband calls “Mt. Laundry.” I was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and I heard him say something that made my eyes bug out like Buckwheat’s from “The Little Rascals.” He said that the fight over the candidacy of Christine O’Donnell has made him realize that he and the Republican Party “are not on the same side.” He went on to make the even MORE shocking statement that the Republican Party could be replaced by the Tea Party and become the minority party. Oh yes Mama, it is on like Donkey Kong! Rush Limbaugh- off of the Republican reservation? Hubba-hubba. Limbaugh went on to explain that the country is on the verge of collapse and socialism, and can not afford another RINO like Olympia Snow. This is potentially devastating to the Republican political machine who has already suffered several defeats by the Tea Party this year. Say what you will about Rush, and people certainly do, but his political instincts are akin to spidey senses. Rush has never been the Republican water boy as the Left has claimed, but this statement reveals a canyon sized gap that has grown between Republicans and Conservatives. The days of choosing the lesser of two evils all the way to the gates of hell may be over. No more John McCain or Bob Dole for President…imagine the possibilities. I’m going to have to say “Ditto” Rush. Where can I buy a Tea Party button?

10 Musicians Who Rock The Right
Musicians, like pretty much all other artists, tend to lean to the Left side of the political spectrum. It’s no secret that the music industry has had a long history of progressives who are vocal about their politics. From Pete Seeger to John Lennon to Bruce Springsteen to the Dixie Chicks, leftist rock stars have been loud and proud when it comes to their views. What’s encouraging is that there’s a cadre of personalities in the music industry who lean to the Right, and some of them even have the words and deeds to back their views up. Do an internet search for “ conservative musicians” or some similar phrase, and you’ll come across some lengthy lists of names. However, most of these lists don’t have evidence to back up their claims. My criteria for this list was to find ten musical artists who have shown conservative cred in word or deed. I also tried to find some surprises among the list of Right-leaning musicians. Here we go, in no particular order.

The 15 Most Obvious Lies in President Obama’s Ohio Speech and 1 Damning Freudian Slip
The naked lies were too numerous to count in President Obama’s speech in Ohio today. But let’s try and respond to a couple. 15. “We also hoped for a chance to get beyond some of the political divides between Democrats and Republicans…” One cannot “get beyond” the political divides of this country when the objective is to “fundamentally transform” the United States. Obama’s talk of bi-partisanship has been clearly demonstrated to just be a campaign technique to woo moderates. He could have ruled from the Center — the model was there in Bill Clinton’s second term. Instead he chose to push a leftist agenda, thus further exacerbating the divide. 14. “Because we are proud to be Democrats, we are prouder to be Americans.” Says the Post-American President who rejects the concept of American exceptionalism and bows to foreign kings. 13. “I ran for President because for much of the last decade a very specific governing philosophy had reigned about about how American should work.” He expects us to believe that anything President Bush did in any way inspired him to run for President? 12. “Folks were forced to put more debt on their credit cards and to borrow against homes that many couldn’t afford to buy in the first place.” Forced ? As in Discover Card and American Express put a gun to their customers head and demanded they load themselves up with debt? Monster House came by and threatened to devour people if they didn’t sign the mortgage? 11. “I ran for president because I believed that this kind of economy was unsustainable for the middle class and the future of our nation.” Obama is not interested in sustainability. The debt levels we already have and that he is further burdening us with make a mockery of his claims for interest in sustainability. 10. “I ran because I had a different idea about how America was built. It was an idea rooted in my own family’s story.” Built? Obama does not have a different idea about how America was built. The historical facts are quite clear. He has a different idea about the America that he wants to build — and build by destroying what already exists.
