I am pleased he reminded the people that the Republican Party is the party of Rich OLD White Men.

You didn't listen to that whole sound bite, either, did you?

There was no attack!! Guess, the left is getting desperate when lying is all they have left.
What I heard Rush doing on that sound bite was informing us that we would be getting the whole student loan - underwater house loans thing till election day from Obama. The young lady had tweeted that student loans were going to skyrocket, kind of like electricity, if Congress does nothing for them. That was so much a part of what the White House denizens, Dunn and Rosen, had planned for her to do in support of deflecting our attention from what Obama is doing since he can't run on his record.

This would all be funny as hell if it weren't for the fact that so many people didn't even listen to the sound bite.

Hey, listen to that sound bite and maybe, just maybe, you will understand what he was doing and this time he was just pointing out the fact that she is a tool of Obama in his campaign.

But the thing she was crying about in that tweet was that her student loan would go up drastically if the Congress does nothing to help her. That appears to me to be part of the set up of the House where the GOP rules. There are some shrewd cookies in the White House and they have to have the student vote and are after it in some shady but shrewd ways.

Whoopsie: Georgetown’s 23 year old
The worst part of her activism is that her tweet followed the announcement by Obama that if Congress doesn't do something about student loan rates by summer the students will suffer even more. Her tweet didn't mention contraception, just student loan rates. It is so obvious that Obama is trying to set up the GOP in the House as the bad guys for election day.

Not a soul has mentioned the fact that Rush mentioned the names of Rosen and Dunn along with the White House as the planners for Fluke's present push. I do so wonder if I am the only one who listened to that whole sound bite from HuffPo.

You're right roy.

And that's a dirty trick, isn't it? The GOP would never try to capitalize on the plight of a private citizen.

Go back to the OP and listen to the sound bite so you can understand just what Fluke was tweeting about and it sure wasn't anything about sex. So many here have gone off on that tangent that this thread became something much less than it should have been.

That was kind of like Trayvon Martin's 12 year old picture at the beginning and done by a media source. Lies work very well especially, sometimes.

Damn, old buddy, I was talking about what this whole thing was about in its beginning, not the dirty political trick, although it is a dirty trick.
