Santo is not “the Beav” he is “Eddie Haskell”..
and Romney remains just a good friend of Teddy Kennedy..
and Barney Fwank by the way..

Both Santo and Romney are OWNED by the Unions..
You will not hear a negative word from either about the Unions..
The Unions are at least 1/3 (maybe half) of whats wrong with America..

You are being over protective. Here’s what really happened.

First, Rick’s comments are not as damning as the headlines.

BUT....BUT....BUT....Rick’s comments were clumsy and unnecessary. (are we spotting a trend here?). He did not articulate what you did earlier, that Rush demonstates absurdity by being absurd - he simply said Rush was being absurd which is what an entertainer can do. NOT THE SAME.

You said what Rick SHOULD HAVE SAID and what YOU WISHED Rick had said. But that’s not what Rick said. Sorry, it’s not.

Hoping for a Gingrich surge.

I am hoping and praying that Santorum's comments will open Rush (and Mark Levin's) eyes to who this little self righteous union loving punk is. And I mean that, because Rush and Levin are incredibly important giants in the conservative movement - whom I have the utmost respect for - and I am shocked they still support Santorum the way they do. That might end Monday, which could cause a Gingrich surge to increase (it is already there to some degree, but it needs more steam).

Why is Rick even responding to media questions about Rush? At the very least he could be turning their questions back on them like Newt did. How inept can one man be?

Duh! Because the liberal state run media will give Santorum "face time" on the 24/7 news cycle.

With his tight budget, he's making the most of what he has. Not a bad idea (IMHO) but it may backfire if Rush takes him to task for it.

There’s several ways one could handle this, but to parrot the main stream media line about Rush simply being “an entertainer” is not how you do it.

You can’t say Rush is being absurd without finishing the sentence - which is that Rush is being absurd to DEMONSTRATE ABSURDITY.

When you leave that second part off, it totally changes the meaning of the sentence. Rick left the second part off.

And damn, Rick sure has shamelessly used Rush’s website quotes in his fund raising for Rush to be “just an entertainer.”

Hypocrisy is as hypocrisy does.

It’s already backfired. Rick’s “face time” consists of ridiculous statements, and backtracking.

Don’t have time to read all that. If your point is that FR, etc, is rush’s show prep, I already know that.

Voting for Title X aside and his disingenuous explanation, Santorum would not be mimicking Obama in this area. However, when hyperbole gets excused for political purposes a milquetoast is a milquetoast.

Mr. Santorum, the ‘business you are in’ so different from Rush Limbaugh has consequences of ideology and pandering. You may gain a moderate’s vote, but you will not get mine under any circumstance.

No, that wasn't my point, since it's absurd on its face.

I think you need to watch the video and read the rest of the article, because he's not "over-correcting" on anything.

You are probably right.
