Mike Pence: Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck speak for many Americans
Yeah,the batshiat crazy Americans.



“To suggest that men and women that are taking a stand for fiscal discipline and traditional values in the national debate today only speak for ‘grassroots activists’ is absurd. As evidenced by the hundreds of thousands that filled town hall meetings this summer and the nearly a million Americans who gathered here in Washington in September. Millions of Americans, Republicans, Democrats and Independents are worried about liberal social policies and runaway federal spending, deficit and debt.


“So to my friends in the so-called ‘mainstream media’ I say, ‘conservative talk show hosts may not speak for everybody but they speak for more Americans than you do.’”

9. It's more like, the people speak for them.
Limbaugh says Obama is Hitler and suddenly a bunch of people are waving swastikas and Hitler signs at tea parties. Beck says FEMA is building concentration camps for conservatives and thousands of chain e-mails immediately take flight to warn of the sudden new danger. And more tea-party signs.

These crazy ideas don't emerge from the grass roots and work their way up. So I wonder, who speaks for whom?

2. Oh, are we supposed to be concerned about runaway federal spending again?
I thought Dick Cheney told us all that Reagan showed us that deficits don't matter. But now we're suddenly interested in fiscal discipline after eight years of Republican profligacy? Isn't the timing curious? I look forward to Mr. Pence's detailed explanation of this phenomenon, which will no doubt speak for many Americans. Many cynical, manipulative, greedy Americans.

7. How many is many?
ENough to elect Sarah in 2012? I doubt it. They speak for the angry, the ignorant and the delusional. Loud but not the majority.

10. Consider yourselves lucky...
I live in Indiana, so I get this ass hat's crap in my mailbox too. The only reason I don't opt out is because of the $$ the Republics spend to get it to me.

16. The screeching weasel minority.
Loud, obnoxious, and persistent in their caterwauling, but becoming more irrelevant daily as the rest of the coountry moves forward.

They are trying the "Look at me! I still matter!" screaming tactic.
