Limbaugh Electrified CPAC



Talk show king Rush Limbaugh wowed the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) today. The event is sponsored by the Conservative Union.

Limbaugh, originally scheduled to address the convention for about 20 minutes, spoke for nearly a hour and a half before a crowd estimated at over 9,000. Two other ballrooms were filled with attendees watching on big screen monitors.

"Ladies and gentleman, this is my first ever address to the nation," Limbaugh kidded, observing that FOX News and C-SPAN were broadcasting the speech live. Unlike Obama, Rush observed, he didn't need to use a telepromptor.

He noted that although the Democrats won the last election, conservatives are not the minority. He said, "We can take this country back. All we need is to nominate the right candidate."

He also poked fun at Vice President Joe Biden for some recent gaffes and he also noted that Sen. Christopher Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank were instrumental in the failure of the sub-prime mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. While the Democrats are praised for "good intentions," they aren't judged on their results, Limbaugh said. He called those results "cruel."

He attacked the Democrats on several issues and skewered Obama's stimulus package and budget plan.

"It's not new. It's not change. And it's not hope," Limbaugh said.

He also told conservative to stand by their principles and fight the "bastardization of the Constitution that the Obama plans are."

I just purchased it, since I rank this speech right up there with Reagan’s conservative speeches/writings.
