185. Rush is a Democratic Advocate - we must give him respect
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 08:01 AM by leaningprog
Rush knows his blue collar white demographic better than most
Democrats in my opinion. He is their champion, and they look to
him for guidance and what to think on the big, hard, questions
that confront them in elections. Staying true to his people
Rush has come out strongly for Hillary and has sent her hundreds
of thousands of votes in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and soon
Indiana and North Carolina. I know it is sad that he will go
solidly Republican in the GE, but for now, he has elevated our
preselected candidate, Hillary, with the vital voter base and
staying power she needs to keep a terrifying, unapproved by
Mark Penn for Commander in Chief, and let's face it, unapproved
by the New York Media, AIPAC, and other vital sources that must
approve all viable Democrats before they are allowed the votes
of the little people in the flyover states for national office.

It is sad, but later this year when Rush is forced by his long
term loyalties to stop backing a Democratic candidate, she is
going to lose ABC News, valiant efforts from Fox News, and
probably most devastating, Mr. Scaife, who has finally seen the
light of Hillary after a little bit of forgivable mischief back
in the Clinton White House days. Yet for this magic moment,
they along with the almost 25% of superdelegates who committed
to Hillary months before the primary began, we have the
marvel of this bi-party coalition for our Democratic candidate.

In the final analysis, Rush will have brought our candidate
perhaps as many votes as her husband in the primary, and
I have a gnawing, growing fear, that when Hillary loses the
Republican support, after the black candidate is destroyed,
and she is finally ready begin the glorious 4 or 8 year
constant trench war of a Clinton reign, that we will once
again have to get our heads around the fact, that Rush,
and John McCain, and Mr. Scaife, and Mr. Rove, and all the
blue collar ditto heads they have graced us with votes for
Hillary, are going to be lost to our Republicans in the GE.

A Clinton reign demands absolute loyalty, and I am afraid
our new found friends really won't have it, once they get
the beginnings of a revitalized and less polarized Democratic
party stamped out like the terrifying wildfire it is to them.

If I had a cynical bone in my body, I would probably suspect
something other than the truth, a grassroots outpouring of
love and respect for idea of a first woman president.
