Republican Talk Radio Hosts Are Losing It Lately

[GWestphal]

Over this comment about, how every one had help getting to where they are now. I don't understand. Neil Bortz was saying he would fire anyone who worked for him who was an Obama supporter, for that sole reason alone. Why are they becoming rabid over such a small comment and purposefully taking it out of context?

"I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

I think it comes down to the realization that their base is unenthusiastic about Romney and they are desperate to try to get the GOP machine going in any way they can.

That would be true if they hadn't been doing this for years. The reason they are acting like this is because they are trying to cover the tracks Bush left behind in our economy, and also because of their rampant paranoia of those who have less and envy of those who have more.

As much as people like to say the young generation in this country worships sleep, it is crystal clear that these righty lunatics worship money.

They hide behind the veil of religion and political ideaology and try to brainwash the masses into caring more about money than their own families. They are the very pharisees that the Bible warns the world of, yet some people float around worshipping them as if they were the next Einsteins or Franklins. It really is pathetic.

Romney sucks and they know it. Obama will likely be 2 termer and they are freaking. Hillary will be tough in 2016, and the 112th Congress has been less than useless in doing anything.

Desperate times call for paranoid delusional thinking.

"Losing it" is the radio talk show host's stock in trade. Not even P & N denizens would listen to a moderate. They all would dry up and blow away (as well they should) if any of the talk show hosts truly tried to examine both sides.

Well said.

the 112th Congress has been less than useless in doing anything.

It's been great for wingnut posturing in the HOR and Repub obstructionism in the Senate. It's accomplished everything that Repubs set out to accomplish, other than completely ruining the economy to drive Obama out of office.

Well we were never supposed to have another Democrat President after Reagan.

We were never supposed to have another Republican after Nixon, too...lol

Bipartisanship is the 2nd biggest scam run on this country outside of, of course, Wall Street.
