I know that Hugh and Laura and Rush are all really just entertainers, interested mostly in getting ratings and sponsors.  But when they start to demean and character assassinate John McCain, a man who has done more for our freedom than any of us us, let along Hugh, Laura and Rush, have ever done, it makes my blood boil.

Every word that these tantrum-throwing, self-centered, self-proclaimed manipulators of public opinion say that is  negative about Sen. McCain will be used against him in the general election.   Do I agree with Sen. McCain on illegal immigration issues?  No.  Do I agree with him on abortion choice?  No.  But I have to put my differences aside and vote for the person who can beat Hillary Clinton.  Romney has had his chance this year, and he's lost, again and again and again.  Huckabee is not qualified to be president--no one who says he does not believe in evolution is qualified to be president of my country.  I want a smart, rational person.

I'm tired of the far right and far left pushing their totally ridiculous agendas.  Most of us are in the middle.  Most of us have complex belief systems.  Most of us are moral, but we don't have to tell everyone how moral we are.  Most of us swear, and often (sorry, Dr. Dobson, I'm an educated middle aged woman who swears, guess I'm disqualified from important positions, eh?).

Rise up against the talk show hosts who want their way or the highway.  Let's remember that if Hillary or Obama are in the White House, along with the likely Congress held by Dems, we are totally and absolutely screwed on many fronts, esp. on the Supreme Court.  I'd have said a stronger word than screwed but I don't want Dr. Dobson to have the vapors.
