The Inmates are surely running the Republican Asylum

One only has to listen or read the vitriolic, mean spirited and downright lies foisted on a leaderless Republican Party by people like Rush, Sean and the rest of the nattering nabobs of negativism to understand just how desperate the party is for leadership.

So where are the real leaders of the Republican Party?

I can’t believe that that Republicans have decided the likes of Hannity and Coulter speak for them. What amazes me more is that if Democrats were to say any of the following statements, the outrage from these same “commentators” would be blasting from every radio and TV in the US.

Limbaugh: "The dirty little secret ... is that every Republican in this country wants Obama to fail, but none of them have the guts to say so; I am willing to say it"

Limbaugh: "I want the stimulus package to fail," "I want everything he's doing to fail."

Limbaugh - "We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whichever, because his father was black, because this is the first black president."

When Sean Hannity was challenged on his own TV show to point out exactly where the “Save the Marsh Mouse” money was, his response was to say the Democrats had hidden it so no one could find exactly where the money was coming from. He said the same thing about the levitating train to nowhere.

It’s one thing to have a viewpoint. It’s another thing to outright lie. The lies, the misstatements, the name calling are used for only one purpose, to scare average Americans.

Hannity, Rush and the rest only care about ratings and money. They have no plans, no suggestions and no remedies for our country’s current situation. They just want to scream about how the other side is sending the US down the road to Socialism (we’re already there) or worse.

It’s easy to criticize. I’m waiting for these talking heads to actually put some suggestions on the table to solve our country’s problems.

Until they do, they are the problem. They are as much a danger to the US as any foreign terrorist. Truth be told, they are terrorists, airwave terrorists, spreading their lies, deceit and fear around the country.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy dissent – although Limbaugh and Hannity considered any disagreement with the Bush Administration tantamount to treason.

It’s time they go away. We don’t need their brand of negative politics right now.

We need sound rational thought and ideas to bring our country out of this mess and once again become a world leader.
