When Rush Limbaugh said that he wanted President Obama to fail, he was intelligently explaining his own interests. What he omitted to say – but what is equally true – is that he also wants Republicans to fail. If Republicans succeed – if they govern successfully in office and negotiate attractive compromises out of office – Rush’s listeners get less angry. And if they are less angry, they listen to the radio less, and hear fewer ads for Sleepnumber beds.

When Frum went gay on us didn’t he also start working for the fascists?

I am not buying it.
Rush knows theres plenty to get angry about. He makes hay even when the sun is not shining

That doesn’t even make sense.

Frum is a maroon, a squishy unprincipled moderate, who had a lived during the time of the Revolutionary war, would have been arguing for offering the British some sort of “compromise”.

We lost a battle. The war is by no means over.

Rush wants conservatism to succeed, period.

So....let me get this straight. Rush wants Obama to fail, but he also wants the GOP to fail? Unless he wants both sides to fail, one of these must not be true. I am not a regular Rush listener, but I have listened to him for almost 20 years. I don’t buy for a second that Rush wants a more Socialist country just so he can get a bigger audience. Someone who is THAT manipulative would have done much better with women that Rush has.

Nice to see the collaborationists coming out of the woodwork already. Freedom lovers have never made deals with, or accomodated, totalitarians, fascists or dictators. The Iron Curtain, and with it the Soviet Union, fell because this nation, under Ronald Reagan, would not make the final accomodations to the Soviet Union to accept that it would exist in perpetuity. Solidarnosc did not make fatal accomodations with the Polish communist party. We never made fatal accomodations with the Nazis or the Japanese Empire, even though plenty here at home called for such accomodation.

Why on Earth should we make accomodations with our own home-grown fascists?

Do you think maybe we’ll see the re-emergence of some moderate Republicans?

Not very likely Frum, there are too many in the Congress now. Any more and we would become another arm of the democrat party, which I think is what you think we ought to be doing.

Oh, poor, poor David, who has been around Democrats and RINOs so long that he can see nothing except through a cynical lens.

Frum is literally the biggest jackass I have ever seen in my lifetime. This idiot is translating a very unpopular bill passing as a victory. In face, the party in power was placed there 18 months ago, and basically has destroyed all that good will in the time since. Every election since then and every poll in the past nine months proves this bozo wrong. The people lose here, not the GOP. the GOP and people are now all on the same team.

Obama got the bill passed, but he failed the American people.

So Obama DID fail.

Frum can cram it up his elitist arse.

Wow. Frum is modest.

NONE of us should begrudge either Frum, Mitt Romney or their Legion of attacking RomneyBOTs.
Last night was the win of Frum, Romney, and the
other antiPalin RomneyBOTs.

ROMNEYCARE IS OBAMACARE.


Frum: "I will support (Romney) without qualm."


"Romney presidential campaign staffers…have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters."

"Frum ... (Romney supporter called Gov. Palin’s) nomination a "huge mistake" October 13 (2008)"


" 80 percent of Romney's former staff was absorbed by McCain
and these individuals were responsible for what amounts
to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
... was Nicolle Wallace's husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

You know Frum, biting the ankle of the guy carrying your weight is just not a manly thing to do.

I mean just imagine if you had written as many columns ripping Obama and pointing out his connections to Ayers and Alinsky and Jeremiah Wright as you have ripping Limbaugh and conservatives, or praising 0's articulation and style? Maybe we wouldn't have had this health care joke.

It's still not too late. How about some columns on how mandating health insurance coverage with IRS thugs to enforce is unconstitutional and unAmerican?

I won't hold my breath.

That will be the Dems this November.

If this was so beloved, why did only 219/431 votefor it? (50.8% is NOT overwhelming support)

Jame Carevell is that you?

Find it odd how certain "Conservatives" no matter what the issue never find any reason to attack the Left but always seek some reason to shoot their own political allies in the back.

So which Leftist clown posse do you and Frum work for? Moveon.org? ActUp? SEIU? Organizing for America?

Freepers are too smart to fall for this idiotic drivel. We know who are friends are, we know who are enemies are. Rush is on our side, Frum is not. Since you choose Frum's idiotic drivel, apparently you aren't either.

Is Frum secretly a woman? I don’t mean to insult women, by the way, many of whom are tougher than he is.
