The “rush” that hurts us all is - not Rush Limbaugh - but rushing into a massive almost-$800 billion spending bill - without the proper hearings, time to consider and debate.

Yes, the so-called Stimulus is almost the law of the land. But that does not make it the best possible stimulus bill to help revive a sick economy.

In fact this is the third time in the last 6 ½ years that a President - twice G.W. Bush and now Barack Obama - has basically held a gun to the Congress’ head and forced them to short-circuit their normal way of doing legislative business - a ‘way’ that has served our nation well for over 200 years.

But in the 2002 vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq, the September/October 2008 TARP votes and now this massive stimulus spending bill, the Congress has been “rushed” into making fork-in-the-road decisions that will affect the country for decades to come.

Mistakes are made in this situation. No Member of either the House or Senate has yet read this huge over-1000-page bill; nor will they before they vote on it. Hand-written additions - of huge consequence - will be snuck in - and few if any Members will even know about them until it is too late.

Now, the basic thought behind this Democratic-written bill is simple: Democrats and liberals believe that any and all government spending - no matter what it is spent on - is a good thing. The Left loves government spending - on everything!

They truly believe the more government spends, the more it gins up economic activity. Thus they blatantly put all those pork elements in there because they believed even those wasteful, ridiculous items will help spur a sick economy. They are the true practitioners of Trickle Down (from DC) Economics.

(Republicans - before the profligate and budget-busting Era of G.W. Bush and a GOP Congress - used to be fiscal conservatives; and we believed that the best stimulus was not government spending but tax cuts to allow increased consumer spending; this is From-the-People-Up Economics. That was what happened in 1981 and revived an economy that was much sicker then that it is today.)

Only because of Republican opposition and the news media/talk radio world exposing these spending items did some of them get removed from the bill. However, there are still many in here. And you have Senator Charles Schumer saying that these wasteful pork items are not a big deal! Oh how the Democrats mis-understand the anger of the American people about government spending!

Had the normal legislative process been followed, the rest of this junk would have been exposed. But by “rushing” this bill through, the wool has been pulled over the taxpayer’s heads.

The Democrats hope that the economy turns around by 2010 and 2012. Conventional wisdom is that if the economy is still mired in a recession, the Democrats will - again - be thrown out of office. President Obama has admitted he will be a “one-termer” if he can’t get the economy turned around.

But what if the Democrats have a plan to eliminate- as a political force - the Republican Party?

Let us look at a few seemingly small news items that lead us to a big conclusion:


• Senator Debbie Stabenow (D. Mich.) floated the idea - again -of re-imposing the Fairness Doctrine; Nancy Pelosi has already supported this move;

• The White House is contemplating moving the 2010 Census out of the Commerce Department and into Rahm Emmanuel’s White House Office;

• Preliminary talk out of the House about “normalizing” the immigration status of the 11-20 million illegals now in the country;


Here is the Democratic plan to eliminate the GOP and thus guarantee one-party rule for decades to come:

• Stifle and dilute and weaken Rush/Sean/Savage/Ingraham and so many others who act as a counter-weight to the left-leaning so-called Mainstream Media by re-imposing the so-called Fairness Doctrine;

• Change the Census counting procedure to “estimate” the count in heavily Democratic areas and thus allow most states to re-draw Congressional and state legislative districts to guarantee Democratic majorities for at least the next decade;

• Give amnesty to the millions of illegals - and then hand them registration forms and register ‘em all as Democrats!

• (The moving of the Census out of Commerce is because a Republican - Judd Gregg - is about to become Commerce Secretary and he obviously wouldn’t support rigging the census; but Rahm Emmanuel - the former Clinton White House Political Director and House Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman - is a totally political creature who will try to use the Census to expand the Democratic majority in the House.)




The Republican Party - already limping after the 2006 and 2008 elections - is on the verge of political annihilation if the Democrats have their way.

The Democrats believe in payback - Big Time - and they are not going to risk another 1994 Republican Revolution. Instead, they will now try systematically to crush the remnants of the GOP.
