It's hard for me to believe there were very many liberals who actually wanted Bush to succeed.
I am with with Rush. I want this President to fail. Unfortunately he seems to be succeeding in changing this Great Country into something I barely recognize and it's getting worse each day. If this health care bill and the cap and trade bill passes, that will be the end of this country as we know it. He promised to fundamentaly change this country and so far he is on the way to doing just that. Yes! I hope and pray for him to fail! Not because I hate him (I don't) but I love my country and my gut tells me that Pres. Obama really is a citizan of the world like he says rather than a citizan of the US. He fails to see the greatness of the country he is President of.
because it would be so awful that ALL of our citizens receive good healthcare, and it's so horrifying that we stop polluting our planet.

that would really diminish our greatness.
 
For all those harping on the "hope Obama fails" line as equating to hoping the COUNTRY fails I'd have a question for you.

If a President was elected and came out with the following policy goals. Making abortion 100% illegal. Passing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Creating a federal DNA database to confront crime. Having all mosques under surveillance. Putting up a border fence between mexico and the US with armed guards. Completely removing medicare, Medicaid, any other form of government health care and the minimum wage. Allowing people to opt out of a portion of taxes to receive a large voucher to use for private schooling. Expanding the powers of the PATRIOT Act in regards to surveillance and detention. Removing 90% of the current federal gun regulations from the books. Giving the upper 25% of tax payers a large tax cut. Ending the Welfare system. Invading Iran.

Would you hope that this President succeeds at these things, or would you hope he fails at them?

We need healthcare reform, but not this bill that will not cover ALL citizens, Will raise taxes, will cut medicare, will raise premiums, will ration care, will greatly grow government, will add to the deficit, will come between us and our doctors, will kill jobs...etc
The cap and trade bill will NOT stop pollution it will only move the pollution to other parts of the world. It will kill jobs and it will destroy us economically all for the Hoax of Global Warming. It's about power over each and every one of us. The cap and trade and healthcare bill will effect every aspect of our lives, from the medicines/surgeries we are allowed , to the temperatures we can keep our homes to what we are allowed to eat and what we are allowed to drive. That is not the America I want to live in.

I would say "I hope he is unable to pass his platform". The president does alot of things other than this that I hope he succeeds at, such as heading the military.

And is that not just going out of your way to find a politce and PC way of saying something for fear of people twisting your words? Is "unalbe to pass" not just a nice way to say "Fail" at passing his platform? And if you just spent some time directly prior to, directly after, and days and days before hand, harping on his POLICIES or in the case you use his "platform" is it so horrible if you don't have a qualifier of what you mean.

If I sit here and go, completely in general, "I Hope Obama Fails" okay, there's a lot of ways to take that. I could understand maybe thinking I just want everything he does to go wrong in any way because all I said is I want him to fail and you have no other context. However If I sit here and go "You know, I truly feel Obama's been bad for this country. I hope he doesn't get re-elected. I hate the direction he's taken us. Every policy he puts forth is damaging to us. We can't take 4 more years about this. A new election is coming up. I hope Obama fails". Does that mean I want the country to fail because I didn't specifically add onto that statement " at getting elected in 2012" or does it mean I'm relying on the context of everything I've said and done before it to make it obvious to those actually taking the time to listen to understand what it relates to.

If you're talking specifically about his policies, talking specifically about why you think those policies are harmful to this country, talking specifically how you are opposed to the policies that a person is trying to pass, and then say "You hope he fails" how, in all holy hell, does one conclude that somehow that context doesn't matter and it should be all inclusive.

Is Rush Limbaugh hoping Obama jabs himself in the eye in the mornings with his tooth brush failing to brush his teeth, since apparently saying he "wants him to fail" in the context of talking about his policies = wants him to fail at everything.

Is Rush Limbaugh hoping Obama turns his daughters into strippers through bad parenting, since apparently saying he "wants him to fail" in the context of talking about his policies = wants him to fail at everything.

Is Rush Limbaugh hoping Obama knocks up his wife here shortly because he failed to put on the condom properly, since apparently saying he "wants him to fail" in the context of talking about his policies = wants him to fail at everything.

I'm not going to sit here and say Limbaugh couldn't have parsed it in a better way, he definitely could've. I also have no doubt as soon as some whacked out liberal hackjob website that's no better than he is took it out of context and started making it a big issue it just made him MORE likely to continue to parse it that way just to further piss them off because he knew what he really meant, and those actually listening to the context knew what he really meant, and he enjoys pissing those types off.

But its ridiculous to imply that if you dare use the term "fail" in regards to a President when talking about said president in the context of his policies that somehow that equates to you being an unpatriotic person that wants all of America to fail. And just because you pretty it up with more tactful and PC terminology doens't change the fact that saying "I hope he fails" in the context of his policies is no different in meaning than saying "I hope he is unable to pass his platform".

Being unable to do something is failing to do it. A platform is a group of policies. Someone failing at enacting their policies is the same as someone unable to pass their platform.
 
It took less than 24-hours to have the Rush Limbaugh hospitalized thread shut down.
Not only moved to the basement, but shut down.

http://www.debatepolitics.com/archives/63102-report-rush-limbaugh-taken-hawaii-hospital.html

Why?

The left projectile vomited its death wishes all over the thread (and internet), revealing how vile, callous and intolerant this group really is.

Protect the terrorists, but death to our most vocal political opponents.

Interesting Party you've got.

We saw the depths Libs would go at the Wellstone funeral... may this put an end to any thought the left is compassionate and tolerant.

.
The Left /Ultra-left can indeed be Vile...

but you won't get much sympathy saying They should have it for an Ultra-Right Demagogue.

Maybe pick an issue like hypocritically muzzling free speech in the name of PC.. or so many others.

anything but the Mouthy Oxycontin boy.

Yeah! The Horror of wanting people to have healthcare. Gotta love Rush and his careless fans:roll:

Apples and Oranges. Geezzee:(
 
Huh? You do not get it.. Sure some black peeps say What Up Nigga or may use the N word towards each other.. It is kinda like the gay folks have taken back that word queer.. I am not gonna waste my time trying to explain this to your racist butt:roll:

That is CONTEXT!!!!!!!!

What kind of healthcare takes 2,000 pages? I have an insurance healthcare booklet and it might have 60 pgs. Even with fines and catching all discrepancies, what could possibly require 2,000 pgs? Why are they doing this behind closed doors?

This is too dictatorial for a lot of us.

Rush probably has some other ideas for HC, but they fall short of what Obama wants, which is complete control. I'd agree somewhere in the middle if I knew what was going on.

Isn't everybody curious? This is going to change our country for good with taxation and so forth.

It has not been done behind closed doors.

Gotta hand it to Libs... those willing to sellout their and future generations freedoms. Pretty selfish I say.

What else do you want the government to steal from people to give to others?
What else do you want the government to take away, run and decide for you?
What is your price for freedom?

Where has socialist healthcare worked?

We live in a land where you can shop for insurance... there might be the odd abusive insurance company... but they won't last long... and it pales in comparison to the abuse government will mete out.

Hospitals write-off hundreds of millions in unpaid care... the insured subsidize it.
