Yes, I've tried to avoid jumping into the Rush Limbaugh conversations. The subject does not, however, want to die a merciful death. The conservatives seem to be more afraid of him than anyone except Grover Norquist, whoever he is.
Why aren't they calling him out, chastising him, speaking out? They are caught in a real dilemma. Do they risk alienating the members of his fan club, or the rest of the voters in this country? I suspect that their silence has spoken already.
Santorum said that he thought Rush's choice of words was inappropriate. No, no, no. There is no appropriate way to demean a woman who speaks out for the right to choose birth control for whatever reason. It is not as though Rush has trouble finding the right words to express himself.
I think that we will express ourselves in November. Not just women, not just liberals, but every single voter who want to distance himself from this type of politics. A vote for Obama will be a vote for a return to civil discourse and courteous debate.
