To want the leader of your country to fail simply because you disagree with their political approach is completely sickening. People like Rush want their team to win even if their country fails. This is more than a difference in opinion.[/quote]

Did you also think it was sickening when all liberals wanted to see Bush fail? Democrats congress members and senators openly bashing Bush.

Oh, you’re from Canada. Your opinion of the American political scene means nothing.

You are “super not-racist.”

I think we’ve found our new conservative boogieman, now that Bush is out.

I consider myself to have conservative views. Although GWB supports our military and doesn’t take shit from rogue countries he is by no means a conservative. He may be socially conservative, but fiscally speaking he is VERY liberal.

That is my problem with the majority of the republican party right now. I’m pretty much socially liberal/fiscally conservative, which pretty much alienates me from both of our entrenched parties.

He is using “Obama” as a stand in for “Obama’s Platform” not “President Obama representative of the US”.

Any of this getting through to ya?[/quote]

It seems that you believe that Rush is implying:

Obama’s platform failing is actually a win for America?

And if Obama’s platform wins that’s actually a loss for America?

Is that what you’re saying?

Very well, go away sweet heart.

Honestly there is nothing wrong with your beliefs as long as you keep government money away from social liberalism.

The problem I see is that the more social liberalism you have, the more money is pumped into these social programs. The best analogy I can think of is that we tend to use social programs as life support when they should only be used as first aid.

I should have used “conservative” in “quotes.” He wasn’t really much of a social conservative either, what with his minority lending promotion, NCLB, faith-based initiatives, and other stuff. He was basically a liberal, just more conservative than the “give the country away to the jihadists” brand of liberalism on the other side of the aisle.

Well if you listen to Rush as much as you brag about you would know that he supports Obama but does not support his policies. In other words he wants Obama to succeed, but his his policies to fail. This is an important concept for you to comprehend

obama is tring to get representatives to not listen to rush, he wants all the attention. so he can try tp push thru his socialist views, dems know that, they are already covering their asses, as elections are coming up quicker than you think.sway to far to the left, and republicans are back in power.something to watch though,obamas use of ex orders.

I have a few comments. First, Obama didn’t say “Quit listening to Rush!” He said, “we can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.” To me it sounds more like he’s saying that talk is cheap, and listening to radio talk show hosts does not equate to political action.

This whole article/thread is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Second, with regard to Limbaugh’s hope that Obama’s policies will fail, I can’t believe some of you are supporting this statement. I assumed that you folks were opposed to policies like Obama’s because they are bad policies.

If socialism and big government are inferior to capitalism and limited government, isn’t it redundant to wish for their failure? I mean, if Obama doesn’t fail, shouldn’t that mean that he’s found the right policies?

It seems to me that hoping for Obama’s policies to fail is an admission of the possibility that his policy ideas are the best; if they aren’t, then there’s no chance of them succeeding. Why is Limbaugh expressing a “hope” that they do fail rather than voicing his certainty that they will fail?

Just out of curiosity, how many members of Congress do you actually think take the time to listen to Limbaugh, and then act on what he says?

Was this a joke? Or are you really this fucking stoopid?

I think that’s exactly what we’re saying. In addition the 800 billion that was just appropriated, he and his party want ANOTHER 800 billion. I hope he can’t get it. I hope he fails. If he succeeds, it just puts my country deeper in the trash barrel. I hope real conservatives in the 2 houses dog him every step of the way, bring him down, and chew him up.

Does this deserve another thread? Read it, found it amusing:

“Lincoln was a master politician, which means that he was a consummate conniver, manipulator, and liar.”
— Murray Rothbard

Does this sound like Obama? Is the comparison with Lincoln apt?

tme, not stupid,unless u are. dems tried this shit in early 90’s. demorcratic reps got kick out of power. they know (dems) if they step too far to the left, their gone.

Obama’s agenda is already falling apart. He told the Dems to have a stimulus package ready to go and on his desk on day 1. Uh…yeah…

the accusation is neither unfair nor unwarranted. if you don’t want to be called a racist, don’t say racist things…

You didn’t hear the whole quote. The media put that in a headline, but that is not what he said. He said in a nut shell that if Obama tries to have the government grow and turn this country socialist, then he wants him to fail…So do I for that matter.

I fully disagree with Obama’s socialistic agenda. I think it’s bad for everybody…
I want Obama to be a good president and succeed, but not at what he wants to do, but at he must do, which at the moment are opposites. But Clinton changed so maybe Obama will to.
