And Steele just apologized to Herr Rush today.

Who's leading whom?

This Rush is more important:

The president is presiding over economic failure. The president is watching it, doing nothing about it. He's watching unemployment grow; he's watching the stock market plummet; he is watching people sign up for unemployment. The president of the United States is doing nothing to stop the downward spiral of this economy. He has no economic recovery plan. The truth is, the president of the United States and Rahm Emanuel, who, remember, said, "Crisis is too great a thing to waste." What does that mean? They want you suffering, they want you miserable, they want it worse, they want you rejecting conservatism. They want you rejecting capitalism. They want you turning to them in fear and desperation and angst for an immediate fix to the problem. They want you thinking you have no ability to fix your own problems. They think you have and they want you to have no ability to take care of yourself. So as the stock market now approaches minus 2,800 since Obama was elected, the statement today is to speed up the economic recovery, we're going to focus on health care. Ask yourself how that is going to get you your next job.

This whole charade is so surreal. A little more than a month into Obama's term we're seeing the suicide of the Republican Party.

Why do I get the impression that that quote and that opinion about that quote comes from a conservative blog? I don't know what he meant, and I could not be bothered dredging up a link for something so irrelevant but if I had to guess it would be something along the lines of creating an opportunity to fund the development of massively underfunded and otherwise crumbling infrastructure by employing those who would have been otherwise left jobless by the layoffs in the construction industry.

How could you possibly think that worsening the situation now will cause people to blame conservatism. They will blame interventionary policy for failing. How could you possibly say that the US president has no recovery plan, have you been living under a rock? You may disagree with it but that does not disprove the former.

How has complete not-intervention combined with consistent tax cuts on the wealthy worked out for you in the past 8 years?

Let me turn your last point back around, how does improving health care not create a more dynamic and competitive work force in the long term and strengthen economic growth?

appears to be dead
Edit: Disregard, problem seems to have been on my end

I don't see why the man had to apologize. Rush has a talkshow, and he is clearly king of the blowhards =entertainer/incendiary. How can it be that that Rush's adoring fans don't already know this.

Well, if nothing else Obama is doing what he thinks is right. It may very well turn out that his policies will cause more harm than good, but he truly seems to believe that he is following the best option available.


As far as conservatives, people follow what they understand. Very few people understand the complexity of economics, but they do understand social issues. Fiscal conservatism will never prevail as long as it is tied to social conservatism. People won't follow "cut spending and taxes" if the same guys are preaching that "gays don't deserve rights" and "stem cell research is murder".

People might follow conservative fiscal policies when they are no longer tied to social issues based on the bible.

Hey QM: Aren't you supposed to be in Iraq or Afghanistan right now? Oh right, just like your Hero and "Great Leader" Rush, you're a pansy who would never put their own life on the line for your great cause.

I thought I told you to STFU yesterday?

Tread with high boots. This site is nothing but a cesspool of left-wing assholes.

^ You forgot to call us socialists who want to destroy the country.

Expect to have your conservative bona fides (and your sexuality) questioned by the rest of the conservatives.
