I'm listening to Rush (so you don't have to) and it truly is a Newt

fest. Rush loved the "standing O" he received and all of the applause he received. Rush also opines that this was the best debate ever, first because Huntsman and Bachmann are out so the remaining ones had a better chance to shine more. "They all did well."

I wouldn't be surprised if Gingrich won the SC caucus. I don't know how long I can stand this, he's ranting now how the "Dems are elite and think they're smarter than anyone else. They are condescending." "Gingrich hit the left right in the eye last night."

Condescending? Think they are smarter than everyone else? This defines the typical Republican! And Rush.

The most condescending person in American is accusing Democrats of being condescending. That's rich.

I caught one of those nutjobs on the radio, and he was going on and on about some book he had written, and how great his writing skills were, and compared himself favorably to Voltaire. In the very same breath, he slammed "librul elites." He seemed completely unfazed by this utter hypocrisy. All the RW AM radio turds are the same, same stupid sophistry, logical fallacies, lies, spin no matter which one is on.

Carolina are on food stamps, unemployment and aid that are in their party. It's not all blacks that are on these programs and they are really underestimating their parties participation in these programs. (Of course I'm just assuming since they have really high unemployment figures)
