You guys don't get it. By attacking Rush, he makes Limbaugh the poster child for the entire conservative movement. This results in infighting in the movement, and the marginalization of conservatives as extremists way out of touch with the mainstream.
So long as the average American associates conservatism with Rush Limbaugh, the GOP will have zero political capital.
This opinion and false rhetoric of course is wrong, but what I find most amusing in such desperate rhetoric is the notion that Conservatives are the extremists while we watch the reckless and almost criminal runaway spending of this administration and the resulting drop in the stock market because of the reckless populist message being spewed by this new Administration.
Capital is fleeing watching this reckless spending and desperate divisive rhetoric and you think the Conservatives are the extremists? That is a very funny, yet absurd argument.
The reason this administration wastes time on a talk show host is because it is attempting to distract Americans away from the issues surrounding the Democrats power grab over every major facet of our economy.
Rush Limbaugh is a loud voice that expresses the feelings felt by millions of Americans and when the Democrats attempt to demagogue and belittle his message, they are belittling the beliefs of millions of Americans who now cannot have their voice heard over the cacophony of Socialist largess and almost Marxist like rhetoric we are seeing in our Government.
The irony is watching Democrats who demagogue the Bush white house as attempting to run our lives now have to desperately defend the REAL takeover and play it down as Conservatives wanting America to fail. But alas, this is no different than the desperate rhetoric we heard about the Iraq War and how it would fail and how the surge would not work and how Bush lied us into a war of his own choosing.
Conservative voices that are being marginalized are the ones fearful of the failure of America. Watching the reckless out of control efforts of Democrats should frighten every citizen in this country. But instead, as is typical from the Democrats, it is all about winning elections and marginalizing your opponents and NOT about solving America’s problems.
Alas, if the world were as simple as Liberals attempt to make it, wouldn’t it be nice if the ONLY thing a Nation had to do to prop up an economy or prevent recessions was to spend and tax it’s citizens into oblivion. But we have history on our side and if we look at it honestly, there is no history that suggests this can be done.
What we are witnessing here is a Democrat grab at political power and takeover of the American economy on a scale never seen before in our history, particularly in a time of peace. The reason is clear; they know that if they do not implement their entire agenda regardless of the cost to the American tax payer, they may not get another chance because the American people, and rightly so, may just vote them out of power once again just as they did in 1992.
No Southern, I think it is YOU and the Democrats who don't get it. In two years time when this economy is still wallowing in disaster and the tax bill is sent to the American people, it will serve as a troubling reminder of how badly the American voters where duped this election and why they can never trust ONE party to control the Government. Doing the right thing requires courage; something NO politician can afford because the American voters are so profoundly ignorant of the issues, economics and the historic record.
