Alright, I'll admit it. I took the bait. I previously wrote about the ridiculous Limbaugh/Steele feud and continued the discussion. I honestly could not anticipate how such a silly and meaningless story has been the focal point of the media for days now. Republicans don't seem to see this "feud" as a big deal. I couldn't help but wonder why I was hearing so much about Rush Limbaugh and so little about the thousands and thousands of earmarks that are trying to be pushed through as Congress moves forward with the budget. It finally clicked with me when I was watching the news and they mentioned Terry McAuliffe (Democratic Consultant) was demanding the GOP reject Rush Limbaugh's statements. You see, when you are trying to spend as much money as possible, and you don't want people to realize that it is their money that is being spent, you need to distract them. Now I'm not saying that the Democrats planned this feud or that there is some complex conspiracy going on. Quite frankly, I don't think the Democrats are smart enough to plan this. I do think that the story has been exaggerated and amplified by the Democrats. The Republicans, if not distracted by this ongoing defense of who our Leader is, would be front and center in the argument against all the earmarks and wasteful spending. The Dems have done their job which is distracting us while they pick our pockets. Now, instead of doing our job, we are wasting time and energy by playing along with this idiocy. Rush needs to retreat back to his studio and Steele needs to stop addressing this. The media will follow suit when no Republican wants to address it anymore. Get back to work gentlemen, because there are much bigger battles to be fought.
