I will send him an email letting him know that.

He needs to get serious feedback, because based on past performance — his own run for Senate — he tends to say what he thinks sounds “acceptable”. Perhaps it comes from being a conservative in the ultra liberal state of Maryland.
I was hoping that the RNC delegates would not choose him for this very reason! He is not personally a McCain/Whitman middle-of-the-roader. He just plays one on TV!
Well, thanks for giving him almost a month.
You cannot trust RINO’S ;o) Never forget. Rush brings them out of the woodwork.
If I remember right — Brit praised Obama’s presentation not the substance.
Brit drooled over O’s speeches.
Brit drooled over O’s speeches.
This is not the first email I have sent him Cedric; I also chastised him for not making statements against Specter, Snowe and Collins. Subsequent to my email he did (I’m in no way crediting myself for those statements btw, as I’m certain I am not the only one who sent him an email on that subject).
He blew it; I gave him the benefit of the doubt, he wasted that, imho.
Ford doesn’t think Ozero is going left.
He thinks the country is willing to go in that direction.
Juan has really gone over the top in Obamessiah worship!
Yes he ultimately did, but it took the reaction of lots of folks to make him make that statement. He didn’t come out right away; he waited quite a while before making his statement.
I thought FNS was pretty boring overall. I did appreciate the one “oh Juan” from Brit, but other than that, not a very interesting panel, imho.
Steele was a mistake. I believe he’s a lot more moderate than most people who supported him thought. Rush is giving the democRATS a dose of their own medicine. He was awesome.
State of the Union with John King looks pretty boring today. It has been several months since I have watched the morning shows and provided any commentary. I just turned into MTP to see how Gregory does, but don’t know how long I can hang in to watch it.
I had a call from the RNC this week. The girl could not even pronounce Steele’s name - she said ‘stee lee’. I told her as long as the rnc was supporting RINOs like specter, collins and snowe - they would get no money from me. I will support my state party, and the Congress (since they did not support the spending bill).
Ford is an Edsel
I see Meet the Press will have the all powerful conservatives Mike Murphy & Joe Scarborough on today for the opposing view to Obama’s plans. (sarc)
I think a chairman like Steele is about all we conservatives can expect or deserve, given our decided lack of electoral clout in the GOP currently.
I can’t stomach the morning shows either. I usually check in to this thread to see what’s going on. I’m going to take Rush’s advice and try not to focus on what those idiots in the MSM have to say. They are clearly on the wrong side and unfortunately, America is about to find that out..... the hard way.
Bawny Fwag, Chris Dudd and President Obozo have now made it a political crime to fly in a corporate jet. Never mind that every one of them fly in corporate jets or 747’s whenever they go to make a photop, they feign outrage that anybody they bail out would actually fly, let alone own a plane. The same people who got us into this meltdown are now playing the club the wealthy card, to micro-manage corporations they know absolutely nothing about. In the Auto and Banking Industries’ cases, were directly responsible for their collapse. It may make good fodder for PravdABC to anger the voters, but makes no economic sense whatsoever. These execs fly in private jets to save their companies money, not luxury.
What makes corrupt politicians experts on how to travel in a modern world? Do they want everyone to drive or take a Amcrap when it makes more sense to fly? These CEOs have been swimming against the Liberal tide for 20 yrs, fighting against the regulations and roadblocks that Dodd, Kennedy, Frank and Pelosi have put in front of them and finally drowned under these draconian regulations and energy policies.
Why do people need to fly corporate jets? Because it is the most efficient way for these people to travel. Let’s take a look at the biggest hypocrites on the planet, the casting couch phonies in SoddomWould. These starlets who are always outraged when we drive our cars have no problem climbing into the biggest jet they can afford and fly to Cannes. Never mind that their jets burn the same Oil that they always decry, it is the most efficient way to travel. Plus, they have a No Blood for Oil bumper sticker on the tail. Throw in a rainbow ribbon and their faked concern is complete.
These starlets make $20 million+ per which breaks down to $10,000/hr 24/7/365. If they take a commercial jet to fly across the Country and arrive at the airport 2 hrs early, it takes 10-12 hrs to fly coast to coast. At 10K per hour that works out to $100-120K for them to fly w/o the ability to communicate and work while they are flying. To take a corporate jet it will only take around 4 hrs door to door and save them around 80K. The flight will cost them around 20K so they end up saving $60K every time they fly cross country and double that for a round trip. It only makes business sense for them to take a corporate jet and that doesn’t count if they are flying with their entourage.
The same thing can be said for the CEO’s of any corporation in the Country. Never mind The Obama Meltdown, this year has been a disaster for almost every CEO in the world, the same formulas hold true for them. They all made Millions of dollars for their expertise and leadership abilities over the years. They have made their shareholders Billions and need the most efficient method of transportation to get from place to place and handle business. These jets not only save them money vs using commercial it is a working office that allows them to work and communicate while they are traveling. Add to that the ability to bring their staff these corporate jets save their companies millions in travel dollars yearly. This doesn’t even count the business expense deductions which offsets millions.
The CEO’s have been painted by PravdABDNC as the villains in the Obama Meltdown yet there was absolutely nothing any of them could have done to avoid this crash. Nobody saw this coming except the crooks at Fannie/Freddie and congress. When and if the history of this is ever known, we will find that the gummit and especially congress were the ones who caused this. The jets are their scapegoats to make a smokescreen for the District of Corruption to sneak away w/o any blame. These jets are the same smoke to distract the public from congress’ absolute ignorance and destruction of business and industry. Almost every job lost can be directly tracked back to the Dems in congress through oppressive laws and regs. They are only using these jets to damage their targeted industries and tie this to Repubs. Why no outrage about UAW corporate jets?
For the highly rewarded, those who make companies money; they must use their time and money wisely as possible. The market requires it and will reward and punish accordingly. Just like the movie starlets who bring big box offices to the Hollywhacked moguls, these CEOs need to have the ability to use their time efficiently and bring our economy back off the cliff. If the standard for speed of travel is who makes their stockholders the most money, Fag, Dudd, Peloser, Dirtbag Harry and Obozo would be riding in Boxcars or better yet, oxen. Ironically, they are flying in our jets and demanding America’s producers ride Amtrack into the Abyss.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama
