Lynn,
First of all let me say what a pleasure it was to meet you Saturday in Borders Bookstore in the Temple Mall.

You had asked me a question about what I thought of the RNC Chair Steele, and I was a little undecided on how I felt about him...I have attached a link here that I use regularly to reference things.

One thing I am opposed to with Steele is his affirmative action viewpoints and another is his request for further regulation and I am assuming more "interpretation" of 2nd Amd rights.

I just wanted to drop by and give you my thoughts on that and the link.

Mr. Woolley,

Is your show weekdays 8-11 PST? I didn't look too hard, but I couldn't find a clue on your site regardng which time zone you're in.

BTW, I listened to you a couple time later in the day some time ago. You impressed me with your kindness and logic, but I couldn't quite work your show in to my schedule on a regular basis. Now I'm unemployed, and I'd like to start listening.

I'll see if you're there at 8 a.m. PST.

Sorry. We're in Central Time...so we'd be early on the Left Coast.

You’re wasting your time and talent in the Heart ‘o Texas! Quick! Pack up and head to Washington where you can sit in a small cubicle on K Street and think up these scarey slogans and slurs! Your party needs you.

And, while you’re there, see if you can get Limbaugh to sign up for the Nutri-Slim plan. Watching him at CPAC over the weekend, it was tough to listen to his words. I was so worried that he was going to have a heart attack and keel over because he was sweating so profusely and he has at least ballooned up to 275 pounds.

If he’s going to be your next Republican Party president, you’d better see that Rush “Pork Chop Charlie” Limbaugh gets in shape!

I guess if your definition of a Communist is a guy who cleans up the mess created by W, then you are right.

That’s a clever line – “He has already spent more i 38 days than Bush spent in 8 years.” I heard it all last week from other rip ‘n roar right wingers. You’re repeating those slogans and talking points from K Street again. That’s why you need to get up there and “get original.” The line actually has no meaning to it. It’s a throwaway line used by Repubs who can’t answer a question or rebut a progressive.

Limbaugh hasn’t just gained weight, he’s HUGE! He’s not chunky or a little heavy, he’s bigger than Porky the Pig. He’s Jabba the Hutt. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabba_the_Hutt ) It’s what happens when you can’t control your eating and have low self-esteem.

Remember … Those who criticize the most always have the most to hide or try to conceal about themselves.

Where are the Davids of this country?? When this country started, the first form of Gov. was from each according to their ability, Too each according to their needs.
The result was, almost everyone starved. Gov. Bradford tried a brand new idea, each were given their OWN land and were allowed to keep whatever they were able to acquire. The Goliath was slain and freedom came to the free world.
As time passed more Goliaths were raised up and the American over came them. Be it a mountain range or large rain swollen rivers or hostile natives or a greedy King from faraway, the goliaths were all overcome, by Americans whom did not need a nanny Gov. to hold their hand.
Today, there are more Goliaths raised up before us then ,maybe, ever before. We, are 5o Countries surrounding a small speck of ground were a make believe Goliath sits. This make believe giant has fooled almost everyone into believing that he is so powerful that any whom seriously questions him will be felled by the full weight of almighty God.
Today, Americans still love to fight , we will fight each other at the drop of a hat, often over nothing at all.
Today, not next week, Americans need to stand and fight the make believe goliath, the big one is congress. Demand that your Governors recall the ones whom work for us. We The People are in charge of our future. We The People are in charge of Gov.. Whether it be the make believe Goliath that sits on that little speck of ground in the east or whether it be the local Gov. that seeks to steal your money by writing make believe laws, such as Red Light cameras, because they want your money, but, are too Cowardly to raise your taxes.
Today We The People can do the same as David has done, we can slay the giant and regain freedom, not for our selves, But, For our kids.
The worlds smallest minority, which is ONE, is calling for you. For when the one loses their right to be free, their right to own and keep property, their right to live smartly or stupidly, there will be no ONE left to call when You need help.

Limbaugh-Keyes in 2012


I'm all for it, but why wait till 2012...
Lynn, we need to do something NOW..
I call for the impeachment of this commie president and the outing of all who agree with him and his ways and ideas..
All my congressmen and senators here in NM have heard from me, and I have not been squeamish on words.
Urge all you listeners to also contact their representatives in Washington and let's get rolling.
I'm glad you finally got mad..I hope it inspires other to get just as mad as you sound..I've been mad since Nov 4, 2008
as I saw this coming long ago..
Thanks..

Lynn, Good show today with some great topics. I am a huge Alan Keyes supporter and voted for him in the primary last year. Also, it is interesting that you mentioned the global warming topic in the first hour because there is an entertaining debate occurring due to Gorge Will’s Dark Green Doomsayers article in Washington Post on 15 FEB 09.

He lists some spectacular quotes of the 1970s about the impending global ice age fear-monging. An interesting twist at the end of the article is about a bet that was accepted in 1980 by Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford scientist and environmental Cassandra who predicted calamitous food shortages by 1990, and with economist Julian Simon.

“When Ehrlich predicted the imminent exhaustion of many nonrenewable natural resources, Simon challenged him: Pick a "basket" of any five such commodities, and I will wager that in a decade the price of the basket will decline, indicating decreased scarcity. Ehrlich picked five metals -- chrome, copper, nickel, tin and tungsten -- that he predicted would become more expensive. Not only did the price of the basket decline, the price of all five declined.”

The bet itself is not what is surprising; what is... “is the expert Ehrlich consulted in picking the five was John Holdren, who today is President Obama's science adviser.”

The back drop to George’s article is in response to some outlandish articles by the National Snow and Ice Data Center’s scientist Mark Serreze and his prediction of an “ice free north pole” prediction in last year about this time. "There is this thin first-year ice even at the North Pole at the moment," says Serreze. "This raises the spectre – the possibility that you could become ice free at the North Pole this year."
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Story? ... 737&page=1

Not only did the prediction did not come true and, predictably, I didn’t read any retractions to the extremely publicized ridiculous pronouncements but Serreze went out and made even more outlandish comments in August 08: "No matter where we stand at the end of the melt season, it's just reinforcing this notion that Arctic ice is in its death spiral… The Arctic could be free of summer ice by 2030.”
http://www.nypost.com/seven/08282008/ne ... 126443.htm

Not to be outdone and on cue, the entertainers come on stage to ratchet up the fear-monging. In Dec 2008, Al Gore predicts the end of the north pole in five years:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrPCUWWjh0c&eurl
We have another Gorbasim countdown. LOL

There have a couple of interesting events since George Will’s article:
1. It has come out these “scientist” miscalculated the ice degradation by 500,000 square kilometers – imagine that… and
2. John Kerry has come with his own article stating, “I’d happily debate [George Will] any day on this question so critical to our survival.” Hahaha too funny… I would actually use some of my monopoly dollars to see that one.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-kerr ... 70657.html
“Facts are stupid things,” Ronald Reagan once said. He was, of course, paraphrasing John Adams, who could have been talking about the science on global change when he said, “Facts are stubborn things.” Mr Kerry, stick to what you know: How about an article with pointers on how to seduce and marry extremely wealthy women?

The plot is set with a good casting of entertainers: George Will, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Holdren, and the bumbling keystone “scientists” at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. There is only one direction for this to go… it is going to get funnier.

Lynn:

Lynn, even though your ticket proposition of Limbaugh-Keyes sounds like a very interesting ticket---It will never succeed---and here is why:

1. Yes it would "fire up" the conservative right, but will it be enough is the
question? True conservatives had a chance to stop or prevent Obama with McCain, but they chose not to stand behind him and support him. Even a McCain is better than an Obama. McCain "tried" to "maneuver" himself and his campaign for the betterment of the country to keep it from falling in the hands of Barack Liberals. I do not think you will ever again see the election of a true far left "conservative". We must have some small sacrifices for the sake of taking our country back!!!

2. Eric Cantor would be a very good and strong candidate for 2012!!!! I watched the House Stimulus bill from start to end, and Canto was AWESOME!!!! I was more impressed with him than any other House member (Democrat or Republican), including the Minority Leader John Boehner. He was very articulate, aggressive, and "conservative". I think he is willing to sacrifice small battles in order to win the big battle. That's a game plan that will work!!! Would a Cantor be better than Barrack?

3. Rush and Keyes can "never" be elected!!! Rush will never take the pay cut and lose "his" freedom to voice his opinion rather than be politically correct!! Keyes have ran for President before and has failed miserably!! He can not muster up enough support. He never has and never will. Just look at his past candidacies!! He does not and can not rally the masses. Is he too smart, too aggressive, contradictory?

Why not get behind and support some of the candidates who will run, and whom could win like Cantor, Jindahl, Palin, etc....


What you think? Love to hear your answer on air?

Sorry so long

Michael

Lynn:

Rush is a great attack dog, but not a viable candidate for the top job. Unfortunately, Rush is too old, too fat, and too opinionated to pull enough votes together to win. The only way the Republicans can win is with a YOUNG, GOOD LOOKING CANDIDATE, THAT IS THE PICTURE OF GOOD HEALTH, AND GIVES A GREAT SPEECH. America is more concerned with image than with substance. However, the Republicans do not currently have that in Congress or as a Governor. Romey does not come across as trustworthy. He is too much like a McCain compromiser. Jendal does not have the forceful presence that it takes. Palin can not overcome the jealous women in America. Women will keep women down much more than men ever will.

Let Rush be Rush. A strong attack voice is actually more valuable to the current Republican party than a viable candidate. We just need to let Obama continue to self destruct over the next year or two, and then spring a new, viable candidate on America.

Lynn:
You and I both know Rush will never run, and you have seen how poorly Keyes has done in prior elections (Presidential and other wise)!!! The question that needs to be answered is this: Would you rather have another 4 years of Barack or 4 years of a Cantor who is trying to gain more "moderate" support by being "politically correct". Remember you have got to be elected first, before you can make changes. Rush talks about it, and will "never" run, Keyes "talks" about it, but will never be elected. Right now I like Cantor better than Jindahl or Palin. I think he wants America to succeed not Obama. After seeing him on the House floor---He called and Obama, Pelosi, and Reed with a no holds barred barrage. I really think you would have be impressed with him.

mr. woolley--great program this a.m. i am pleased to hear you speak out at last that the republicans don't represent "conservative ideas".
i have long wondered why the republicans always took a hands-off attitude toward the democrats. maybe they serve the same masters? i have long thought so. i quit trusting the feds when i realized that jfk death was a political coupe. i am appalled that israel continues to be sold out by every new prez that comes along! the american people pay a tremendous price for the foolish leaders they have chosen! recessions, wars, hurricanes, etc.
no american prez. since gen. ike has given a damn about the american people! in my opinion, the prez. have all commited treason against we the people along w/ most of our senators & congressmen.
mr. limbaugh is the only radio personality in the last 20 yrs. who recognizes that politics is war! & has stated so for many yrs. i was flabbergasted that mitt romney was chosen 1st at the cpac convention! romney is as bad as prez. b.o. because he's more dishonest.
it is time to seperate texas from the u.s.a. we dont need the worthless, immoral vermin that have run this country for the last 50 yrs. ron paul for prez of texas. it 's time to lock & load!

Dear Hon. John Carter,

You did a very nice job beating around the bush in standard WASHINGTON DC format.

I asked you to consider co-sponsoring H.R. 156 to PREVENT congress from receiving their undeserved, automatic pay increase.

You respond by trying to JUSTIFY why your pay increase is needed while the rest of us are CUTTING BACK to pay
for you and your friend's largess.

Congress needs to CUT THIS INSANE SPENDING STARTING WITH YOURSELVES!

Dear Steven:

Thank you for contacting me about congressional salaries. I appreciate having the benefit of your views on this issue.

I agree with you that transparency in government spending and protecting your tax dollars from being spent irresponsibly is one of the most important issues discussed on Capitol Hill. I also agree with you that the public has a right to know how much Representatives and Senators are compensated for their service. As you know, congressional income and pension information is public knowledge, and Congress is required by the Constitution to determine its own pay. Currently, members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate will earn $174,000 in 2009.

The Ethics Reform Act of 1989 changed the method by which the automatic annual adjustment is determined for Members and other senior officials, based on a formula using changes in private sector wages and salaries as measured by the Employment Cost Index. Members received a 2.8% annual adjustment in January 2009 increasing the salary from $169,300 in 2008 to $174,000 for 2009. By law, Members may not receive an increase greater than the increase in the base pay of General Schedule federal employees.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you need any further assistance.

Sincerely,

John Carter
Member of Congress

Dear Lynn,

So now Rush and Alan Keyes are your newest golden idols made of fool's gold. When will you ever learn? You have many rubes hereabouts who like to quote the over-used saw that "he who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it" or somesuch lackwitted drivel, yet they seem not to realize we keep repeating the past even if we haven't forgotten, even if we have the lessons posted on our refridgerators with a bunch of magnets.

Let's see, you backed Tom Tancredo as "the one" and then Palin was your flash in the pan. Next you suddenly discovered Bobby Jindal until he recently appeared on TV as a meat-headed galoot. Now your trumpets of destiny are sounding the charge for Rush and Keyes? And of course, you play serious softball with Congressman Carter so he will come on your show, but that old dog is a porch-sitter if I ever saw one. Your champions, one and all, have failed you.
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?

You need to get down to the race track because I've rarely seen anyone so passionately put more money on a more worthless pack of neverwuzzers. At least the money you lose will stimulate the race track and by extension the economy at large.

Instead of lamenting that the opposition won their current dominance only through deception, theft, fraud, and chicanery; why don't you conduct a genuine logical analysis of the tactical, operational, and strategic reasons of why the Democratic Party in general and Barack Obama in particular are currently favored by the American voter? And conversely, why Conservatives have failed; all without the same spurious illogic and invective which you routinely accuse the opposition of using?

Sincerely,
Thane

[lwoolley]

Rush IS your leader. You’ve picked a good one. OxyRush! Can’t wait for you to choose him for the Repub presidential candidate. He’ll make a great one, huffing and puffing, pumping his fist and bumping chests with all those folks on stage.

He’s W – with the ability to speak in complete sentences.

Once Rush goes on that crash diet with Nutri Slim, he ought to be in shape for the run.

One thing about it, though. He will be held accountable for all those things he’s said thru the years. Scrutiny … I am not sure that he can take it.

LS


But Obama is srewing p the country fast. And he has BIG EARS.

Lynn

[lwoolley]

I don't get it?

I guess you man Cedric The Party does not need to be expanded.

We simply need to energize the party the RNC is big enough we have the.

I think what happens is folks like knows nothing about Constant CONVICTION!

That is why people can't beat Rush in a head to head debate he has delivered the same message for 25 YEARS.

If more Republicans would simply learn to stand on and defended on conservative VALUES Obama would have never been elected.

What sort of Pro-Lifer would vote for some one with Obama's PRO-ABORTION (Murder) voting record. and that is just the start.

I'll see you on the trail again soon,
