Rush has changed his tune on Arnold......why?

[kentuck]

For a few days, he was telling his audience that Arnold was not a "true" conservative but in the last couple of days , he has changed his tune. What are his listeners to believe? How has Arnold changed? Has the word come down thru the RNC that the Repub Party has to get behind Arnold, that they will sell him as a "true" conservative whether he is or not. Because they know they are a bunch of dittoheads that will believe anything they are told anyway? We know he's going to lie about "not raising taxes". Now we need to know what his stance is on abortion and gay rights. Has he cahnged his mind on those issues also?

1. Rove gave Rush his marching orders

Arnie's been dropping in the polls, so now Rush has to talk him up.

2. He got the fax from Rove

3. He got the word from the mothership.

You must not say bad things about Arnold. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

4. "WELL MY FRIENDS ... "

... as the lardy one would say, "I must say that this notion of me changing my mind is laughable! I NEVER said Arnold wasn't a 'true' conservative, and we'll check the tape to make sure I'm right, which I always am, of course. What I said -- which everyone knows is true, even the reputed Vietnam vet, the French-looking John Kerry -- what I said is that Arnold is TRULY a conservative, and he's sounding more and more like -- dare I say it? -- Ronald Reagan every day! And you heard it here first!"

7. Ronald Reagan had a bad Austrian accent?

Or is it that Arnie is turning into a senile, lying sack of shit? You decide!

5. He probably got a call from their commander Karl Rove

who coordinates their thoughts and behavior.

Clark said it perfectly today that the Republican party is a "tightly run operation". The rightwing media outlets are run by the WH. State controlled media is their idea of "fair and balanced".

6. yup Repug party line

George Shultz is as inside as it gets in the BFEE

8. Rush like the rest of the media

is part of the White House PRess corps. I am sure Rove - an old hand at dirty tricks - gave Rush some talking points.
