Democrat Congressional Comittee attacks Rush Limbaugh

Oh good lord. Might as well call it a day with these replies. I'm surprised anything ever gets done with you people.
I'm just glad my side "won" finally, and hopefully in 8 years we'll be in a better place to bring threads like these back up.

 

No, our woes are the fault of government interference in free markets. However, consumer confidence plays a role in the health of the economy. And that confidence has been under assault by the Democrats in their effort to win back the House, the Senate and the White House. Well, well, well, I guess we can all say "Mission Accomplished". Now the mess is theirs and theirs alone.

 

The DCCC is run by active members of Congress. Or did you miss that the first time around?

 

Yeah, I know it's tough for you to actually construct a cogent reply that refutes the specific points brought up in the thread. I agree, it's time for you to sit around and wait for the welfare check you'll be receiving and my son will be paying off for you.

 

Nah, it's just too time consuming to debate with someone that's got their head so far up their own ass that they're blind. You haven't brought up anything in this thread other than your personal opinion, as have I.

Now keep living your life in fear, go buy up all the guns on the street, and prepare to be invaded by the Russians, or the desert terrorists or whatever the Republicans need you to be scared about this week.

 

You can pour milk all over a bowl of goat shit, but you aren't going to convince me it's Cocoa Puffs.

Then why vote Republican?

No party has grown government more than the Bushies the past 8 years. Clinton and Gore REDUCED the size of government, and if you don't believe me, google it.

Facts are a bitch sometimes.

As for Rush: 1) Let's remember he's an entertainer and he wants ratings, and 2) despite that, what he said was unAmerican. Patriot my ass.

 

how was it "unamerican"? look at his complete statement, not just a selective piece of it.

 

if the actual quote was this:

what exactly is wrong with that?

 

i haven't heard anyone actually talking about it and it definitely wasn't the main factor or anything, but the constant bitching about how horrible the economy was and all the negative bullshit that went with it definitely played a part. consumer confidence and expectations do play an important role in the economy and it would be ridiculous to ignore that.

 

not really. He merely defends his own ideology over that of his party, which he sees to have failed.

 

i can't say that i agree with you there.

if he actually believes what he says, then clearly he believes that obama's policies are not good and thus does not want them to succeed.

 

What does he aim to "win" here? Limbaugh truly believes in smaller government, and is fundamentally opposed to it, so he hopes Obama's efforts for the government to control and own the private sector fail.

He doesn't wish that the government implements policies that fail. He hopes that they truly do not get implemented in the first place. He hopes that Obama is unsuccessful in implementing a big government that controls our lives and owns the private sector.

 

Here is what is so disingenuous about Rush's statement:

"What is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here."

Aside from the fact that he said he hopes the president fails, it most certainly is not liberalism that has gotten us close to the precipice, it conservatism. A liberal has not been in office since Johnson in 1968. What a load of hooey. And while we are at it - it is liberalism that gave you Social Security, the middle class, Medicare, the minimum wage, even freedom of speech.

And Rush most certainly does not believe in smaller government, he believes in Republican government. The Bushies GREW government, the Clintons SHRANK it.
