Yes, the same way that high tax rates have made blue states the poorest populations, and unions have moved so many middle class workers into the lower class.

Yeah look at the great state that California has become.

We are still a great state, despite the harm from Repubicans - our democratic governor Gray Davis had the state on track for a balanced budget until the Republican-linked firm Enron targetted the California economy, and Republican governor Arnold reversed Davis' policies. To thid day, Republicans are radical obstructionists keeping us from having a budget and otherwise blocking the good legislation democrats pass (we'd have gay marriage now if not for the Republican veto).

Unions...... look a what they have done for the auto industry..... this is what Barrack Hussein Obama can do for the country.

How have the unions affected the auto industry since they began stronger in the 30's? Well, GM has been the world leader in auto sales the last 77 years.

But now, the Republicans have greatly weakened the unions at the same time the average American has seen their share of the nation's growth get shifted to the very wealthy.

Oh yeah I almost forgot in order to be a Dem you have to be a victim...

Gay marriage..... if it wasn't for the republicans and the MAJORITY of Californians it would have passed.

Times change, industries adapt and unions don't if it wasn't for the unions GM would be in the black (no offense BHO).

More idiocy, predictably.

Wrong. The *legislature* passed it previously, and that would have done it, apart from any court decision or proposition, but for the veto.

More idiocy, predictably. I guess the unions are just inherently disastrous for companies, while the strengthen the middle class; it just takes 77 years for the effect to happen.

Gas prices had nothing to do with the mortage and auto industry going bankrupt? How did unions stifle auto innovation? Crunching all those California EV1s sure was a step into the future. Oh the irony.

Oh I see so the people supported it?

No no they makes business more profitable, that's why you see the big push to unionize.

Big three would have been ok if it wasn't for their union obligations.

I'm not sure what you mean with the ev1s.

That's because Bush wasn't as well spoken as Obama.

Thats so true. I wasn't around befor I was born LOL. But I have only heard one man speak as well as Obama.


Barney Frank?

Ya that was good . But I don't care if it legal or not. What I do care about is calling pot a drug . When for 4000 years its been a herd. America should have never changed drug laws in late 1890 early 1900s . The government has no right to protect people from themseves. What the Government did was give a tool for crime to increase and organize because of great reward in $$$ for the criminal By making LAW it increased crime and size of enforcement . To the point were at today which is a police state . Nice move ya retards. I am 100% pro choice. Thats was a gift we recieved from God . You make choices than you are held accountable for those choices. . Jesus spoke of creating more laws than what he gave. Don't make more laws least ye be bound by them . When the government makes law . They remove choice Something God gave us as a gift . God also gave us the Law . Screw mans laws. I am not bound by them because I have never excepted them . . Nor well I swear on a bible in a court of law . I went to jail for it . Even after saying A would say what I witnessed from my perspective. But for me to swear on a bible to tell the whole trueth and nothing but the trueth No way can I say that . Because its a matter of perspective . Were I was viewing from . Screw them . And I will. I have had racers trying to spy on me and many others Good luck . I am a master of showing nothing till I decide. Usually thats when I have given people enough rope to hang themseves . Its my nature. I try to teach in this manner. When I know enough truely bad people have spread their BS . I expose them for what they are . See why I am not likeable . But I give you a choice. I don't take that away from you. You may find that hard to understand. But I have helped many people in this manner. Its about having faith in your fellow man and loving them .

No it wasn't Barny! He was befor my time and smoothed talked himself in to power . And the world weeped. Its always been the case of smooth talkers. There actions give them away,

I don't see the problem other than horrible wording some like TS will jump on. Rush does have a way of saying things you're not supposed to say out loud.

He qualifies his 'fail' statement by saying Obama's political philosophy of opposite of his so he hopes his ideas fail to even get though. What's wrong with that?

Also, the ideas that do make it into law, if they do fail, and that failure is judged the result of Obama, it will ultimately catapult his party back in power. Which is definitely a positive form Rush's viewpoint.

Basically you are making a mountain of a molehill.

I doubt he hates himself..... what makes you think he hates himself? He may hate liberals such as Barrack Hussein Obama but not himself.


Left wing = America hating

Several reasons - I'll start with 3:
1. Loves to call himself most powerful man in the US/brilliant/genius/ etc. Even a first year psych major could recognize this as MASSIVE insecurity complex
2. Absolutely filled with hate. It is quite simply not possible to hate people as much as he does unless he has issues with himself
3. Was viciously caustic against anyone involved in drugs...moreso than even any other RW talk show host. And then it was (obviously) found he was a junkie himself.

Pretty clear to me. Not that I entirely blame the guy for hating himself - I would too if I were a fat, ugly, and amoral liar.

On a different note, 6 years of complete control of the government by the neocons and effectively obstructing progress of the last two will have an effect that lasts a whole lot longer than the Bushies will admit to.

Bush and the folks that controlled him put into place policies that will negatively affect this nation long term. Obama will have to dig at and pry loose every one of these destructive policies one at a time, a very time cosuming process, and all of which were meant to benefit only the select few at the expense of the many.

Also, there were a whole lot of Bush neocon loyalists that were by design firmly entrenched into the civil service system during their absolute rule, and they will continue to influence the political system any way they can in favor of the neocons that put them there.

This and the aforementioned will of course be left unspoken of in the hopes that doing so will damage Obama's image and effectiveness.

This is what Obama is up against; an ideology that has had eight whole years to prove that it exorbitantly benefits a very few at the expense of our national security, economy and overall welfare as a nation.

Yet, here we have these very loyalists aka Limbaugh fanbois supporting the very ideology that got us to where we are now: in a deep deep hole economically, politically and ethically.

And to top it all off, we now have these ideology-over-country proponents like Limbaugh attempting to drag down our very best hope of getting out of this spiraling-down-the-flusher effect that they themselves put us in to begin with.

Limbaugh's mission has changed with the times. He is now one of the leaders of a neocon insurgency that will attempt to dismantle the Obama Plan and wreck it, all for personal profit and for the benefit of a failed ideology.

Yes, by all means, let's trust the very ones that almost destroyed our economy and our nation as a whole to fix what they broke almost beyond repair. yeah, right. sheeeesh.

Thank goodness a majority of the nation woke up and decided we OBVIOUSLY needed a change in direction.

Stand aside, STFU or join in and help fix this giant failed experiment at letting Corporate America rule the nation absolutely.

Get on board or get left behind......way behind.

He's a man of excess and gluttony who abused drugs to the detriment of his own health and revels in being reviled. He's even mocked by those who are of his own political persuasion as are those who are his fans. Howard Stern with his sophomoric antics on the radio is more respected and liked than he is.

Here's the idiocy of Limbaugh and his followers.

Obama has as a primary agenda item, get the country out of this financial crisis. Limbaugh and all his minions want this to fail, so be it.

By having this agenda item fail, our country fails and puts his party back in power. The same party that had control for the last 8 years. Sounds like an idea rooted at their intelligence level.

I get nervous when I start hearing a plea for middle of the road politics. Too often I find that middle of the road doesn't mean moderation; only indecision and inconfidence. Also, there are times when you shouldn't even consider the opposing view point.

Very often, indecision is more destructive than making the wrong decision.

I'm not knocking moderation, I'm simply saying it's not the all encompassing answer.

I can understand hoping that moderation or middle ground can be reached with contentious issues that are important to conservatives or others who disagree with his stated goals, but to wish general failure on the President can only equal hoping failure for us as a nation.

Rush, coming from a conservative voice here in Texas :

Go OD and die, kthx. America needs patriots, not venomous, brainless assholes like you.

I don't think you understand the context and what he means was as a whole he wants it to be a failure. This is why history is important. First of all this was mastered and perfected by libs over the last 8 years.

to the bolded part...

Wow let the hypocracy begin. How laughable! For 8 years this was not the case. Libs were all those things and MORE when it came to president Bush.

Libs and psuedo consevratives seemed to develop a sence of situational patriotism overnight. :thumbsdown::roll:

When I heard Rush speak these things at first it sounded incendiary but after a thought It is only measured failure regardless of how Rush comes across. He does this for effect. Most conservatives have not mastered the sound bite as their liberal friends have. But it did get you thinking.

A few reasons why a conservative doesn't want him to succeed.

Bigger Government
Liberal Supreme Court justices
HEALTH CARE
Squelching the desire for rugged individualism.
Cow towing to the UN and appeasement to the world in general.
Creation of a nanny state where a certain growing % will need the government for everything.
Anything that promotes the gay agenda and attacks or redefines marriage (thus cheapening it)
No New Deal Packages that prolong our economic woes.

As conservatives we want for President Obama to keep America safe and stay out of our way of becoming successful, productive, hardworking, innovative Americans.

As stated earlier, I also hope Obama fails with any socialist agenda he may have.

That said, were all of the liberal commentators distraught at all of Bush's failures? No? This is a non-story drummed up by over-dramatic partisans.
