Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

Today was the unit meeting in Indy. On the way down i was forced to listen to conservative talk radio. While listening to said talk radio, I heard an interview with Mark Souder who is the incumbent in Congress. He is running against Dr. Tom Hayhurst. At the end of Souder's interview, he said "We are engaged in a battle for the soul of America." Now, I would just like the say, I don't want the Government going anywhere NEAR my soul. Why in the world would i want the most corrupt, morally inept people in this country to battle for my soul? Yes...the morals of this country are probably not what they should be, but i just don't think that the pedophiles, adulterers, embezzlers, and former drug addicts are really the people to be telling me what is moral or not. Souder is a Republican, so I wouldn't vote for him. But after that statement, I'm sure not going to vote for him. Also while listening to this horrible talk radio, i heard a comment from Rush Limbaugh (Satan incarnate i'm sure) about Michael J. Fox. He was talking about the campaign ad in which Michael J Fox is support a Missouri Senator, b/c the other one running doesn't support stem cell research. Well...Limbaugh insists that Michael J Fox is faking his symptoms. He said he was shaking all over the place, but that clearly that was an act because "When i've seen him on Boston Legal, he's fine". HELLO!!! It's a TV show. Of course they are going to edit all that out. And if you knew anything about the taping of Boston Legal, you would know they went through extreme measures to tape when Michael was having a good day. Clearly Rush did not see him the day he spoke to Congress...because I'm pretty sure it broke my heart to watch a young talented man such as himself shake like a '85 truck going 80 miles an hour. Although Rush did apologize later on, still. There are just somethings you don't talk about. People's debilitating illnesses being one of them. So thank you Rush for proving once again that you are in fact an ass.

All Fox can be accused of is not taking his medication when he wants to show the true effects of Parkinsons. If thats even a real accusation.

Republicans are grasping at straws and are trying to hold onto their power. They came into congress in 94 on a wave of change and have done nothing except become what they hate. Democrats.

He didn't apologize. Don't be fooled. Using the word "apologize" in a sentence does not make it an apology. Here are a few quotes from Rush himself:

"I stand by what I said. I take back none of what I said. I wouldn’t rephrase it any differently. It is what I believe; it is what I think. It is what I have found to be true."

LIMBAUGH: "All right then, I stand corrected... so I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."

And to make matters worse. This video:

Speaking as a family member of a person who struggles with parkinsons and works for an organization trying to cure parkinsons - I am outraged. This is sick and it is uncalled for, EVEN from Rush Limbaugh himself.
