If Sarah Palin aborted her responsibilities as a governor because she can’t take the heat from the press, then she will surely melt once the press, the talk show hosts and the blogs heat up with attacks during a presidential campaign. Sarah Palin does not have the “right stuff”. She whines too much and folds too easily. When things get shaky, she bails.
Sarah Palin is no Chuck Yeager.
Every Pennsylvanian should be made aware of Senator Specter’s feelings towards Rush Limbaugh. He likes Rush. Read the details here…
Some excepts from the article:
Howard Stern: Are you OK with Limbaugh? You like him?
Arlen Specter: Do I like Rush Limbaugh?
HS: Limbaugh, yeah
AS: Yeah, I like him
HS: You do…
AS: Yeah
HS: You met with him?
AS: Yes I have
(crosstalk)
HS: He’s a crackpot? He’s an enemy of the country.
AS: (laughing) Uh, no, he’s not. He’s expressing his opinion.
…
HS: Senator, wait a second. In all seriousness. He wants the president to do poorly? Listen, I never voted for Bush, but I always wanted to see him do well. I’m an American. I want my president to be successful. Who says ‘I don’t want my president to do well?’ That’s anti-American!
AS: Well I haven’t heard Rush Limbaugh say that. But there’s a lot of talk which is provocative.
HS: Yes
AS: There’s a lot of comment – you fellas, and I know this doesn’t apply to you Howard, probably doesn’t apply to Rush, but some of these talk show guys want to attract an audience. And the more provocative, the more audience, the more ratings, the more money.
What surprises me is that Senator Specter claims that he never heard Rush Limbaugh make the statement that he hopes that “Obama fails”. Rush has said this several times and most of the media has relayed this message to the public. Either Senator Specter is not paying attention to any of the media or he is a liar.
Pennsylvania for Change has now re-opened the comments for threads older than 30 days. After a well needed rest, PA 4 Change has re-organized and has modified its focus.
Representative Jim Gerlach doesn’t want you to know about this and that is why he is throwing mud at Bob Roggio. Gerlach doesn’t have anything to offer except more of the White House shenanigans.
The Keystone Progressive has this to report.
The House Committee on Oversight has documented that senior Bush political aides used federal funds to support the re-election campaign of Gerlach and Murphy by sending federal officials to their Congressional Districts for campaign events disguised as official business. White House communication records show that the trips were specifically intended to help Gerlach and Murphy win re-election – the very definition of political activity.
The report shows that Rep. Gerlach accepted taxpayer-financed help for his 2006 campaign on four separate occasions. The four events were:
1) 3/10/06 – Visit by Commerce Secretary Gutierrez (Exton, PA)
2) 5/15/06 – Visit by Commerce Secretary Gutierrez (Malvern, PA)
3) 9/18/06 – Visit by EPA Administrator Johnson (Pottstown, PA)
4) 10/2/06 – Visit by HUD Secretary Jackson (Reading, PA)
We don’t need more Bush politics after Bush leaves office and that is why it is time to “Fire Gerlach” and vote for Bob Roggio in the PA 6th Congressional District.UPDATE:
McCain’s health care plan leaves people behind, especially seniors.
