These posts from Republicans speak for themselves. The fact that they write Bush/Palin 12’ is unreal. Democrats don’t have to make them look bad, they make themselves look bad. Thanks Rush!

I’d give him a B and I can’t imagine the state we would be in if Sarah Palin was in the White House. 

I’d be interested to hear what Jack and others that agree with him have to say about Powhatan’s local government and the decision they made in the past 100 days.  Is it a F as well? Seem more relevant to take time to list what going on in your own back yard where you can possible effect change, then it would be to endlessly track the Presidents actions only to make yourself feel more miserable.  just my 2 cents worth.

Go Jack!  Seems it is ok when the shoe is on the other foot.  Obama is all talk and people will soon realize it.

Nicely done Jack!  The problem with people like Gary is they would rather not see what’s right in front of them. I for one refuse to respect a person like Obama simply because he is president.  He has not earned my respect.  He’s done absolutely nothing but prove he is one of the best liars and manipulaters we’ve ever had as president.  And his wife is just like him.  All politicians are dishonest - but he is the worst I have ever seen.  Regardless of persons political views - you have to call it like you see.  And, Jack, you did!  Thank you!

Jack:

You really need to get out of the house more and enjoy life instead of scrutinizing in minutiae every negative aspect.  I feel sorry for you if you always look for the negative in a person you dislike.  Regardless of your political persuasion, you must have respect for the President as the leader of the United States of America

Republican in Hiding,

I’ve never been rich either.  I’ve worked all my life for what I have and don’t want it taken from me.  I listen to talk radio because they say what I believe, not because I believe what they say.  As far as Rush or anyone else inviting me to their house—do you think that Obama and Michelle, the Clinton’s, the Kennedy’s or Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews, etc would invite me to their homes?  Don’t you think their kids go to private schools?  I’m so tired of the elite wanting me to be one of the masses.  I’m not into group think.  That’s not me and never will be.
What’s the Bush/Palin thing?

Kathleen…Give it a break!!!!  If you are a true believer of Jesus and a Christian then you should remember what Jesus warns us about…He who is without sin, shall cast the first stone…We all are sinners and fall short of his glory!  I don’t believe in abortion, but it is not my place, nor (NO)bama, the government, preachers, activist, or even you to judge what a woman does with her body.  If abortion is murder, then that person(s) will have to face God and be accountable for their sins, just like the rest of us.  The abortion issue has been a festering sore in our party and we need to move on, self-righteous we all tend to be, but outrageous we become when it is teen pregnancy or once that child is born in that woman happen to be Black and on welfare.  Oh the hypocrisy…  Lets deal with real issues, like immigration, jobs, environment, gas prices and drugs…  Just say all your anger and energy for real issues and continue to vote, especially in 2012!  Remember…. Bush/Palin 2012!!!

Sand, I feel for you man, because I used to be a Conservative Republican like yourself and thought that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Ann Coulter had something in common with me.  Then I realize that these rich cats live in gated communities, their children have private nannies and attend elite private schools.  I don’t live like that here in Fredericksburg, nor did I live like that when I raised on Pagebrooke Road in Goochland.  The harsh reality is most of us hard working people from rural Virginia probably wouldn’t ever get invited to any of these so called conservative homes.  It took my failing health and a depleting retirement account along with many trips to MCV to realize YES we do need universal healthcare, because, unless you are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, or Ann Coulter who all can afford healthcare, one bout with cancer and you will see the true BUSINESS of Healthcare.  I don’t care who you are or what doctor you go to, if your money runs out, he or she will no longer be your doctor, but suddenly recommends programs and other doctors that assist you in your need.  When you hear those words from a doctor, who probably birth all your kids, then you know that you are just like everyone else.  Be a conservative would stop an aging body or failing health.  The lies about poor services is just that, because the big business of health care don’t want you to have good health, that’s bad business for them and that is what Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Ann Coulter have their money invested in.  Where are your investments?  I pray you never get sick, because whatever your investment are you are going to need it to help pay for the medical service if you get an serious illness.  So stay young and conservative….Remember….. Bush/Palin 2012!!!

I am a conservative Republican.  People like myself, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, etc, have critized Republicans and Democrats when they do stupid things.  So maybe those that say they (and myself I guess) use hate talk should listen to their shows instead of taking someone else’s word for what they say.  I would not have anything to do with any of the talk show people if they were hateful.  By the way, have you ever listened to MSNBC or liberal talk radio?  THAT is hate speech.
As far as Obama goes, he is fooling people and we are in big trouble because of it.  I am 67 years old and am worrying so much about his healthcare plans.  I want to choose my own doctor and plan.  I don’t want subpar treatment such as Great Britain and Canada now have.  That’s where we are headed. I was not a fan of Bush the few years either.
