Something I read this morning BLEW MY MIND.

For weeks now I have been reading about Rush Limbaugh’s public call for Republicans to switch party lines and vote for Hillary. His contention was that by extending the Democrats’ primary race that it would hopefully weaken them for the race against a now assured John McCain candidacy. I think that some people thought it a joke, but apparently it’s working. Here’s the video:

Now for the mind blowing part: BILL CLINTON APPEARED ON THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW ON THE MORNING OF THE TEXAS AND OHIO PRIMARIES. For real. Is it conceivable that Bill Clinton was in bed with one of his biggest critics and demonizers of anything democrat? Yep. If it would help Hillary on election day.Geraldine Ferraro was recently sent out to make a statement to ensure that the race card would be played in this election. As a paid member of Hillary’s staff, many have called for her dismissal, which the Clintons so far have rebuffed. A far cry from the dismissal asked for and granted when one of Obama’s senior staffers dared called Hillary a MONSTER (which she is), the Clinton campaign has ignored cries of horror from party democrats at this divisive, petty tactic. Would an elder stateswoman in the Democratic Party intentionally make racist, divisive statements to advance the needs of her candidate while at the same time hurting, or at least disctracting the party? If it would help Hillary on election day.UPDATE: Geraldine Ferraro resigned yesterday saying it was her own decision and that Hillary, nor her campaign asked her to. – ed.

The Washington Post thinks Hillary’s “3 A.M.” ads in Texas and Ohio were fear mongering right out of Karl Rove’s play book. Exploiting fear to promote her own experience was ugly enough, but the fact that SHE HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN TIMES OF CRISIS made it hypocritical.The Chicago Tribune did a great job detailing Hillary’s exaggerations and lies with regards to her ACTUALForeign Policy experience. So as the Clintons have used fear mongering ads, basically perpetrating LIES. We have all seen the effects of repeating lies enough that people begin to believe them. Remember the Weapons of Mass Distraction Destruction that were talked about for months leading up to the Iraq War? “Don’t let the smoking gun be a Mushroom Cloud over the United States” was and oft-repeated phrase we heard verbatim for months on television and in the print media. Would the Clintons stoop so low as to apply such Rovian tactics to this election? If it would help Hillary on election day.

The Clinton’s are ignoring math, which keeps getting worse for her campaign all the time. They are ignoring the will of the Democratic party by continuing their often dirty fight against Obama, and what it seems at times like the entire Democratic Party. They seem to be hoping for a miracle, a back room deal, or some other form of a political Knife Fight at the Convention. Hillary has even gone so far as to state that McCain would be a better choice than Obama if Barack were to win the democratic nod. Hillary has become a political suicide bomber, willing to take down Obama, and the entire Democratic Party if necessary to meet her goals.

So the real question here is: What would Mrs. Clinton do if she was in charge of the country? If she is so willing to DO ANYTHING to get the job, what is she capable of doing with the newly expanded powers of the Oval Office?

Mrs. Clintons has proven that she will ignore the Democratic party, get in bed with the Republicans, and ignore ethics, morals, and decency in order to achieve her goals. We already have a president like that.

We need a change.
