I would pick Levin/Beck*.

If I had to do a mix one pol one radio…Fred/Levin or Levin/Jindal

I think any of those would be fantastic.

* Beck as the President of the Senate…that would be awesome!!!…and he would so use that power to the fullest extent possible under law….;^)

So, as they say over at Ace of Spades, I’ll be in my bunk.

(It’s unfair, you know, to tease the little people. The notion of having two such men as Cheney or Rumsfeld or Bolton on one ticket is the stuff that legends are made of.)

I was advocating that one in 2008 and, in the alternative, Rumsfeld-Bolton.

That’s the ticket I’d like to see.

Two battle-hardened cage-fighters, cool under fire, subtlety sarcastic, quick-witted with no tolerance for stupidity.

of the R party are there due to seniority instead of ability. You can always tell who the true leaders are by the fact that the MSM wastes no effort to smear them when they speak up. Anybody remember hearing the MSM go after Lamar Alexander for anything? There’s a reason for that.

We need to celebrate every single R the MSM goes after on grounds of being “right-wing extreme.” That’s where we will find our leaders.
As to Cheney-Limbaugh 2012? Oh yes, please. Any of the Cheneys–Dick, Liz, Lynne, heck I bet their dogs could govern better than most Dems.

Is that most are politicians first and foremost, regardless whether they actually hold the beliefs they profess.

They have to monitor what the general public thinks about things and then triangulate how their actions will play in those eyes and how it will be chopped and diced in an unfriendly media environment.

Limbaugh and Cheney have no such concerns…..

….because they are leaders.

Leaders care little for how their actions are seen because they focus on results first and foremost.

Hypothetically, I wouldn’t mind a permanent 45-55 Republican Senate minority IF the 45 Republicans pursued a true conservative, limited govt agenda, forcing the Dems to play from the center, resulting in a (mostly) center-right result.

To me that is a far better result than retaking the majority from the center, allowing the Dems to play from the far-left, generating a (mostly) center-left result.

say how it saddened him to hear about so many people who think it is the government’s role to solve their problems and take care of their needs and how it maddened him to hear of so many in government who want to do just that, as though it’s some sort of mandate. That’s not the government’s role. Naturally then, it must infuriate him even more to hear people who still claim to be Republicans echo those same sentiments.

It is the government’s role to provide for the security and defense of the country so when government takes steps that our enemies perceive as weakness such as closing Gitmo and ending EIT’s it makes him apoplectic. Then you have people like Powell and Meaghan McCain, who are supposed to be Republicans thinking it’s a good idea… well… no wonder Rush has said a few times lately he feels like just telling his staff to play a tape while he goes home before he resorts to profanity.

Cheney – Limbaugh 2012? Sounds like a great ticket but Rush wouldn’t take the pay cut, not even if he was at the top of the ticket.
