Friday's Rush Morning Update: Dateline: 3 July 2009 "My friends, if you're driving, pull over. If you're standing, sit down. Some of the financial institutions that took bailout money from the government want to pay back the TARP funds as soon as they can to get out from under Obama's thumb. In fact, the hurry to repay the money is so great that the government has already earned over $6 billion in so-called profits. So you're probably thinking that the taxpayer will be getting some money back... Read Full Story

The Washington Post has an article where ... as the title claims... "A Pitch on Health Care To Virginia And Beyond - Obama Hears From Guests and Twitter" Sounds fair enough... However, about two thirds of the way down the article... the next statement is made... "The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America... Read Full Story

Now isn't this a twist?? From the woman who stated "What else should a reporter be but a liberal?" And this isn't in the classic Jeffersonian sense... this is in the modern "hidden socialist" sense. I'm wondering if she's reconsidering that statement, as well as decades of embracing an ideology that basically makes "tools" of the state out of unsuspecting people like Helen. I guess the Soviet/Kenyan Banana Republic/Chicago-style politics of the White House Socialists leaves a bad taste in... Read Full Story

"Senator" Al Franken "I wouldn't ordinarily say this but... is there any way you can get to a pound cake?" Lots of it... I have one thing to say to the sheeple of Minnesota... What the HECK WERE YOU THINKING?... or more to the point... you weren't apparently. If there is anyone that puts an exclamation point on the descent into chaotic lunacy that has been brought about by Nazi Pelosi, Harry Reid, the minions at the DNC, as well as the ideological idiots in the Obama Administration, as well ...

Wednesday's Rush Morning Update: Dateline: 1 July 2009 "Well, the ultra-liberals Tom Daschle and John Podesta are warning Republicans: you better not "overreach" in trying to shape health care policy -- or congressional Democrats will go it alone. Daschle -- ex-Senate majority leader and well-known tax cheat -- says if Republicans won't cave, he wouldn't hesitate to use Senate rules to prevent them from filibustering health care legislation.

I've often wondered why Republicans do not support unions. As a Republican and a 30+ year union member, I see a vast untapped field of frustrated union members who only vote Democrat because the Dems support unions. It seems that some of that support is waning though and now, if they play their cards right, the GOP could move in and start to win over some of that support.
