Dems: GOP rooting against America - Yahoo! News

But the joyous reaction in some GOP quarters to the International Olympics Committee's snub of Chicago — coupled with the party’s rapid-fire reaction to bad economic data – has some Democrats turning the tables and asking if Republicans are the ones cheering against America now.

I've been saying this for months. Its obviously that many (not all) in the GOP are rooting for America's failure rather than give any credit to Obama.

Limbaugh started it with his wishes that Obama and America fail.
The Limbaughts on this site grabbed hold of his hopes and have been trumping it here ad nauseum.

As much as I disagreed with GWB and his policies, I never hoped that he would fail, because if he fails, America fails.
I would rather eat crow and have America succeed than root against my country so that I can spend a minute or two wallowing around in my satisfaction.

This is a sad commentary on what America has become.
 
Google "hope bush will fail":

NOT SO with ElPrez BO!

His failure is the failure of socialist (oh I'm sorry you prefer to be called progressives) agenda, which every Liberty-Loving American wishes to fail as well..

Hoping for BO to succeed, is hoping for communism, socialism and marxism to take over America...

The POTUS cant even figure out if which of those he is! If he did ever figure it out, we'd REALLY be in trouble!

in short: I'm not buying your regurgitated socialist (darn I'm sorry.. progressive) rhetoric either!:2wave:

Unfortunately, you appear to have a little to no knowledge about communism nor socialism.

Wow...Beck and Limbaugh rolled into one.

Love the Socialism spin. You guys are classic.

Been to any teabag parties lately?

I have a complete understanding of both and the MILLIONS lives that have been taken in the pursuit of each!

Unfortunately YOU know everything about "useful idiot"(s)!

I am assuming you think the USSR, China, North Korea, etc. were socialist or communist?

Hopining Obama fails does not equal America failing.





Putting the olympics over the troops in A-stan?


That's "hoping America fails"


Obama is not "America"
 
Like US socialists all are somewhat different, some based on dictatorships, and some on oligarchies, one even considered themselves a democracy (although IT is a Republic). Socialist is not a specific country or even a specific set of items you have to check off, nor is communism.. Marxism is however a little better definable. There is NO definition for democrat-socialist as it was SCRUBBED by Wiki-pedia just over the last couple weeks.... but I know it when I smell it!

Challenging my knowledge base by name-dropping is also a failed tactic of socialists (dad'gumit progressives ... sorry!) ... like my grandson (who coincidentally has a better grasp than yourself) says "GO FISH POPS"!! :2wave:

Ah, I am interested now. Did two sentences really give you this idea or have you been following my posts for some time?
 
unfortunately I have a photographic mAmory!:rofl

And I have said every time I saw you say it:

This is only true if you can show that The Obama's plan is the only way America can succeed.

Sorry....but hoping and cheering that Chicago didn't get the Olympics to deny Obama a "victory" IS hoping for America to fail.

Cheering bad economic reports so that you can argue about the ill effects of Obama's economic policy...IS hoping for America to fail.

THAT is the sad thing. There are many people who are willing to let and are actually cheering for America to fail so that they can say that Obama failed.
That is really ****ed up.

No one is saying that Obama's plan is the ONLY way for America to succeed. But if you are hoping for bad things to happen to America so that you can rail against Obama....then you are hoping for America to fail.

Wrong.

Olympics as I had proven already costs the host cities nearly a billion dollars.


Chicago getting the olympics would hurt not help them.



Obama letting troops get killed while he does the TV circuit and fiddles in coppenhagen, "hoping for America" to fail.



Cheering bad economic reports so that you can argue about the ill effects of Obama's economic policy...IS hoping for America to fail.


Wrong, Cheering the failure of his statist agenda is PRO-American.



You lefties have some nerve indicating "Dissent" is not anti-American. Freaking hypocrites... :lol:

This is a false relation built up on your obama apparachik tendencies.


America is not Obama. Sorry, FAIL :lol:

Obama's plan is a way for America to fail.


Tell me what have the bailouts done?

Then there can be truth to your statement that by hoping The Obama fails, you are hoping that America fails.

Thansks for being (so very unusually) honest enought to admit it.

So since you were against the Iraq war, you DD, by your definition and argument, wanted troops to die, and America to lose.


I find that far more pathetic, than someone hoping obama loses the olympics.

Damn near treasonous if you want to apply your filter to this argument.

No...REv....that's the big difference.

Despite my views on GWB and the Iraq war in particular. I NEVER hoped that we wouldn't succeed.
I would rather America succeed even if it means my particular political views take a backseat.

Here's the difference in your example:

If people were against the Olympics for reasons such as economic or environmental. Fine. I can respect that.

But the vast majority of people who have been cheering were not against the Olympics in Chicago for any reason other than to cheer an Obama failure....even when it means America's failure.

I think you are mistaken. They want Obama to fail but not the US. It would be much like a man that had a difficult time feeding his kids so he decides to rob a bank. While you may wish him not to be sucessful robbing the bank, this does not mean you hope that his kids will starve.

Exactly - said position is based on the premise that 'success' for The Obama - that is, policy-wise, Him being able to do what He wants to do - means that the US will be in -worse- shape than if we do nothing.

Cheering The Obama's policy failures is cheering FOR the success of the US.

Rationalizing as only Goobie can.

I wasn't for or against it either way actually, I simply laughed when the messiah failed miserably....


I stopped laughing though rather quickly when the news we lost more in a-stan came along, and Obama was still fiddling.
