THE LIMBUAGH FETISH – DEMOCRATS ARE OBSESSED
Posted by Andrew Roman on January 28, 2009
If you think for one moment that Democrats did not want George W. Bush to fail, then I have an East River bridge I’m dying to get off my hands that I’m willing to sell for cheap. When President Bush tried to reform the nation’s largest Ponzi scheme – Social Security – I defy anyone to look me in the eye and tell me that Democrats did not want that initiative to fail.When President Bush proposed his across-the-board tax cuts, is there anyone who believes that Democrats did not want that policy to go belly up as well?
Name me the Democrats who came forth and said, “Well, we didn’t want these tax cut passed, but now that they’re law, let’s all hope it turns out to be a good move for all the American people.”
It did not happen.
Democrats wanted the Bush tax cuts to fail.
In fact, as shocking as this revelation apparently is to Democrats, it is the nature of politics.
When disagreements on political positions exist, one side wishes the other side’s policies to fail.
It’s the way it is.
(Do I also need to explain that water is wet?)
Why is this concept only now twisting the panties of the whiny ones? Is it because the precious Messiah has ascended to the Mount and all of us be damned who oppose him?
The fact is … when proposed Democrat policies run contrary to those beliefs held by the opposing party, how can Republican not want them to fail?
How hilarious is it that Democrats – the party of tolerance – are now outraged that talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has called for Barack Obama’s initiatives to fail.
So what?
(They ought to read my column from yesterday, “The Obama Manifesto – 25 Reasons To Support Failure.”)
Let’s put this in perspective …
Did Candidate Barack Obama want Candidate John McCain to fail in his bid for the White House?
Yes.
Would President Barack Obama want any initiative that would lead to the overturning of Roe v Wade to fail?
Of course we would. He’s said so.
If Republicans call for an amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as being between only one man and one woman, are there not a whole host of Democrats (and some Republicans) who would want that proposal to fall through?
Absolutely.
So what are we talking about here?
Why on earth would I – or any other conservative – want to see Obama’s plans succeed?
I guess it doesn’t matter, because Democrats have launched a petition. (Of course, they have).
And guess who they’re attacking … again?
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition to express outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to “fail.”
“Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed,” the petition reads. “Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh’s Attacks — sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama.”
The petition comes after Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill Friday that they need to quit listening to Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
A petition?
Hold me.
Where were the petitions when non-talk show hosts like Senator Ted Kennedy declared the rape-rooms and torture cells of Abu Ghraib opened under new management? Or when Senator Harry Reid called President Bush a “loser?” Or when Senator Dick Durbin compared US troops to Nazis?
There are times when I am convinced I have slipped through the space and time continuum into an alternate reality, and others when I simply realize that Democrats are in power .

Wait, let me get this straight …
You believe that Rush Limbaugh puts “party” before “country?” On what exactly do you base this assertion? You mean the same Rush Limbaugh who has the daily three hour radio show? With all due respect … what?
Do you know what you’re saying?
You have no idea how foolish you sound in making such a knee-jerk unfounded remark. Your ignorance is surpassed only by your … well, nothing.
Have you ever heard him speak outside of piddly sound bites the media picks and chooses?
Rush has made NO friends among Republicans. He has lambasted them, called them out, criticized them incessantly and has attacked them mercilessly.
Rush is no Republican – not the way the party is constituted now. There is no conservative talkshow host – outside of maybe Mark Levin – who regularly gives Republicans a hard time than Rush Limbaugh.
“Party before Country?”
My dear friend … both the inanity and insanity of such a statement cannot be overstated.

Nice job laying out the absurdity of the Dem vs Rush craze sweeping Washington. Anyone who values their right to free speech should want these syphilitic monkeys to fail. Limbaugh is well aware of the fairness doctrine and that he is one of the intended targets. He’s just bringing the fight to the dems instead of waiting for them to make the first punch.
