I read today that Rush Limbaugh has signed a contract for many years into the future. I also read today that the Clintons are trying to bury the hatchet with Obama, and frankly, I see a connection. I truly believe that the pundits know their job security depends upon a democrat in the White House. Obviously, they have gotten a lot of mileage for the past 7 1/2 years out of the previous administration. Clearly that same tactic would not be prudent at this juncture. The conservative pundits need new political blood to spill and spew over, and they have chosen Obama for us. Don't kid yourselves, until the pundits directed their unquestioning followers to vote against Hillary, she had an overwhelming lead. And when it comes right down to it, if it was truly about politics and liberalism, Hillary and Obama are pretty similar in many of their views, promises, and threats. If the pundits really care that Obama is supposed to be more liberal than Hillary, wouldn't conservatives want the least liberal running against a no win candidate on the republican side? I know, the Limbaugh listeners think they are informed, because Rush tells them he tells them everything they need to know . . . and amazingly that doesn't set off any bells or wave any red flags for them. They just sit and listen and do what he says, and pay him for his newsletters. I have to tell you, except for the 3rd grade name calling, I was growing rather fond of many of Mark Levin's views, but our local station changed and I can't hear him anymore, but he at least was not just a brain washed republican. He spoke like the entire party had lost it's meaning and he wanted to get it back. He didn't seem like a blind follower or arrogant leader, he seemed like a guy that likes attention, likes to talk, and loves making a good living. Back to the boys that tell their listeners what will keep them with a large listening audience. They throw their listeners a piece of raw meat and watch them jump like starving predators, and out of the clamor hope to grab onto even a morsel to sink their teeth into. The pundit listeners like to be afraid and upset, that's why they tune in every day or in some cases several times a day. And the pundits like the money, the fame, and if things go right in November, or should I say left . . . the job security of trashing another president for 4-8 years and then having him to blame when the next so called conservative takes office.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. New Testament
