"What to do about Rush"?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

It's appropriate that a criminal drug addict "headlined" CPAC's Hate Fest.

While Rush hammered away and screamed for president Obama's failure, Obama's job approval rating is hovering somewhere between 70 and 76 percent.

Apparently nothing needs to be done about Mr. Limbaugh.
 
Quote seen on NY Times website

“ I sent my last television off to recycling about seven years ago and have never regretted the decision. It was the moral equivalent of evicting a loud, stupid and thoroughly obnoxious roommate. ”

Yay, as Robert says.
 
The Repubicans are very sore losers. Rush is a big fat sore looser.

They have had over 8 years to mold this country in thier likness of a nation and have left behind the worst economy and foriegn policy this nation has ever had.

The preamble to the Constituion starts with "We the People", not 'We the Oil companies and corporations that sustain the People.'

Companies, badly managed, should be allowed to go into bankruptcy, we have laws for that exact occasion that protects the company and the employees. Much better laws protect companies than individuals who go bankrupt in this nation.

Republicans confuse Washington with Wall Street, and feel that without Wall Street there would be no Washington, or a nation.

Corporations, Investments, Jobs, are all things that serve" We the People". We don't serve Corporations, Investment houses or Jobs, THEY sustain us, by absolute choice as a democracy, and as an accessory to our lives, not the lifeblood of it.
The goverment is handing over billions to corporations who can't make it, hoping they will one day loosen credit to people who are loosing thier homes, when these companies are just pocketing the money and raising the credit scores for people to get approved for loans and lowering peoples credit scores for being even 20 days late on payments, so they can be denied credit. Let the banks fail and restructure under the reorganization laws put in place long ago for this exact occasion. We should have never let mortgage bankers be investment bankers. Now that they don't have a place to dump thier shitty loans, we all suffer.
 
Self-Limiting:

Limbaugh is on an ego trip right now, but given his personal history, he will end up pushing things too far and lose at least part of his influence. That business of saying that he hoped President Obama failed, and his thrashing of Chairman Steele, are two very good signs that Rush's ego is out of control. The inevitable result of egomania is getting shunned; it happens every time.

I say give Mr. Limbaugh all the rope he wants; he'll hang himself with it eventually.
 
Why, do nothing

As we all experienced here over the last years, there is nothing to be done. Those who drink the Kool-aid are incapable of learning or even seeing how badly the Republicans and conservatives damaged this country.

Those who are conservative but capable of reflection are not strong enough to win against the Kool-Aid drinkers.

Fine with me.

It just means we will have a few election cycles more to rectify the wrongs the Republicans and christianists perpetrated.

The real issues are restoring the economy (destroyed by the conservatives), finding a way out of the energy mess (caused by all of us, left and right), gaining human status for gays and transgendered (still don't see how a gay man can be a Republican supporter), securing decent health care and, oh my here comes my leftist/Marxist/fascist/Leninist side again: capturing and killing Bin Laden. You know, the real terrorist who attacked America on 9/11.

Rune - I hate to say this, but 59% is still more than double the 28% Bush #43 had. And Bush continued making executive orders right up until one hour before the inauguration. Orders with the force of law. It would serve conservatives like you better to figure out how to work with us instead of just batting at us from the wings. We won, you lost is the way Bush and the Republicans practiced the last eight years. Now, you have liberals in control and (fools that we are) we want to work with you.
 
It is better to be thought a fool. . .

...than to speak and remove all doubt

We have been victims of narrow minded campaigns of hate and exclusion, wielded by power drunken loons. We are emerging from a dictatorship; it will take a long time to dig ourselves out. The troubling part of this would be the recent triumph is being looked at as a failure by these worthless myopic "god told me to hate you" crowd.
 
I agree with most of what has been said here. The Republicans are big cry babies. They ran up the deficit after we had a surplus from the Clinton Administration and now they are saying we are spending way too much money. Well yeah we have to spend the money since Obama inherited a major f*cked up mess. I know for myself if I was Obama I would have backed ol GW into a corner and bitchslapped his ass but good. This is a royal mess and its going to get worse before it gets better. I can see a depression heading our way much like what happened in the 30's.
Granted I will admit I was not thrilled that Obama got the Democratic Party nod...Clinton to me had more balls than Obama has and she would have done better...but I am willing to see where Obama takes us. But I can tell you this ...if he fails it wont be pretty. Alot of people will feel like they have been had and not in a good way either.
The other thing I have to say is ...when are we going to get bailed out like the banks and AIG? We are not going to get anything and the shock that people that I know of when they found that out was astonishing. I told them no check was coming and the only thing you will see is a bump of $13-20 bucks a week in your paycheck. And thats not going to buy much.
We went to refinance our home and they teased us with a lower rate of about 5% i would say...might be lower...but anyways they the bank ( Countrywide) wanted $10,000 up front and thats not including closing costs. We told them to take a hike...we are not behind in the mortgage at all but I can betcha if we did skip a couple of payments then that would get their attention. Not that we would do that but i am willing to bet alot of people are thinking about it.
The banks are being forced to renegotiate the terms of the loans only if your behind. And its with people that should not have had the loans to begin with since they didnt have the finances to carry a large mortgage. Maddening to say the least.
 
Let Rush talk himself into a hole. The more he says he has even less credibility than the little he had to start with. I'm all for Obama branding him the head of the R's, got to be one of the smartest moves O has made.

As for helping the economy and the little people like us, I'd say force down interest rates on credit cards, and mortgages. Put a 10-15% cap in interest rates and the payments will go down giving people more money to use other places. I've seen reports of CC interest rates over 30%, that's a crime, again brought to you by the R's deregulation. a 10-15% return is still good money for any bank.
 


Look, I'm a lot more independent than Republican. I am more libertarian than conservative or liberal. I think pot laws are crazy. I believe in the 2nd ammendment. Now, Keven, to say that we won, you lost, get over it, is wrong, narrow minded, and suffering from bad memory. If I remember correctly, when Bush came in, Dems held up appointments, nominations, bills, and the like because they felt they needed to be heard. Reps caved and let them have their way. Now that that shoe is on the other foot, the dems seem to think it's ok. Pelosi and Reid are a joke (as are most members from both parties). Now, Keven, we agree on gun control (means using both hands). But, Nobama said that he'd leave that alone. Well, here we are not more than 2 months in office & Holder is already signaling more control in the offing. I know how you loved to rant against Bush for destroying the constitution. What do you think is starting to happen? We have a president obsessed with Limbaugh and Rick Santelli (I think that's the guys name) and we have a dem controlled congress determined to reintroduce the fairness doctrine to silence criticism & opposition. So, in less than 2 months they're tackling the first two ammendments, can the others be far behind? Also, what happened to his promise of posting bills online 2-5 days before a vote so they could be read? Post the stimulus at 9pm and vote on it the next day. LIE. No lobbyists ( he can now make exceptions when it suits him). Lie. Tax problems for nominees. Great vetting so far. I'm no Bush fan. I think he f'ed some things up. I also think Congress is at fault on a lot of issues. Instead of using the stimulus to actually put people to work, we get pork and programs that the dems have wanted to do for years, all in one bill rammed through, before oppostion can grow. If we would have directed more towards infrastructure I do not think you would have seen such opposition. $7-800 billion and they devote a whopping $42 billion to infrastructure. I hate most politicians. My lousy little rant is over and out. I really do not mean to offend anyone here. Remember what opions are like (mine included)

The real issues are restoring the economy (destroyed by the spend-our-way-out policies), finding a way out of the energy mess (madated by the government instead of spurred on by demand and private industry), gaining human status for gays and transgendered (still don't see how a gay man be such a fascist to force others to accept by rioting and crying Nazi), securing decent health care (by getting out of the pocket of insurance companies and working with the medical professionals themselves) and, oh my here comes my right-wing/capitalist/Christian/freedom-loving side again: capturing and killing Bin Laden and stomping out radical Islamic fascism. You know, the real terrorist who attacked America on 9/11.

Rune - I hate to say this, but 59% is still more than double the 28% Bush #43 had, altho' time will tell since Obama is new to the office. And Bush continued making executive orders right up until one hour before the inauguration, of course nothing near as radical and damaging to our economy and national security like Obama. Orders with the force of law. It would serve liberals like you better to figure out how to work with us instead of just batting at us from the wings, even though Pelosi and Reid have effectively squashed Repubican voices in their respective houses. They won, we lost is the way Bush and the Republicans let the last eight years go, a win they have been salivating for like rabid, wild animals, and they won't let us forget it. Now, you have socialist liberals in control and (fools that we are) we want to work with you.
 
Todd,

I didn't mean 'we won, you lost', I meant, we have to get past that. Poorly stated by me, I am sorry.

I am not happy about many things Holder is doing, he was not my choice, tho' he is a big improvement over the law breakers and constitution ignorers shrub appointed.

The fairness doctrine, were it to be reinstated, would not prevent faux news from airing on single, solitary lie. All it would require is equal time for us on the left to tell our lies, er, set things straight. That is all.

We agree on guns and pot, let's try to work together on the rest. And yes, the stimulus bill was quite long and hard to read. But it was not posted all of one piece just prior to the vote, rather the addenda were continuously added in. Congressional offices always split up reading of large bills among their many assistants. That is nothing new.

No offense taken or meant. In marked contrast to the nasty queens around here who run around turning people into the FBI for disagreeing with them, you and I simply have different perspectives. Now my side has a chance to improve things and clean up shrub's mess. Let's hope for the best.
 
Keven, no problems. On the reading of bills, Obama promised to post all bills like this on his .gov site for all to read and digest. On this one, he broke his promise and it was rammed through.
 
I get so annoyed at the people who keep placing conservatives, Bush, and Republicans all in the same boat... THEY ARE *NOT* THE SAME!!!!

First off...Yes, Bush was a Republican, but he WAS NOT CONSERVATIVE!!! This is truly obvious when one looks at his spending! Clinton was more conservative than Bush, and he's a Democrat! He actually balanced the budget. Bush also violated the constution with the Patriot act that was about as far from conservatism as one can get! Now why can't Obama be like Clinton! I am move of a conservative leaning libretarian, and I can recognize the good that Clinton did to our economy and our country by simply leaving his hands out of capitalism and letting it do what it does best. Bush OTOH, did NOT do this, and Obama certainliy is NOT either!!! We are seeing the results in the Dow proving the damage government mettling can do that BOTH presidents are responsible for. Obama is just as at fault here as Bush is. The worst part about this is that Obama has outright LIED! He said "We need to be fiscally conservative" just after he blew almost 800 billion in a government pork package he called a "stimulus", and then had the gall to throw a massive budget at congress that triples our spending and our deficit!

THERE IS NO WAY THIS SPENDING IS GOING TO HELP OUR ECONOMY!!!!
