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.

I followed the link, was this posted so we could know our enemy? Why would anyone listen to moderates after yesterdays vote? Their appeasement and entitlement attitude help make us into a Socialist America. Moderates and Democrats (ALL Dems) need to be dropped off in the Amazon jungle so they can build their utopia or be eaten by the animals. Better yet sunk off the coast on on some old ships to create new coral reefs, at least than moderates and liberals would be useful. Boy that felt good to vent!

David Frum is a nudnick, idiotic, quisling, man of no principle, easily duped, and pawn of the left. And he’s a poofter, to boot.

Frum is an IDIOT.

Trying to make a deal with the Democrats would be like a Cambodian peasant trying to make a deal with a Khmer Rouge firing squad when all they want you to do is die.

People of Frum’s ilk detest real conservatives, esp. Christians and the Tea Party crowd. To Frum, they are the real enemy - not Democrats.

Actually Rush said he wanted Obama’s policies to fail.

What an utterly asinine article. Pure garbage from someone who has not looked down the road any farther than his nose. Rush wanting the GOP to lose because if they won there would be fewer listeners is the most absurd thing I’ve read this morning. What this a.. fails to recognize is that because we lost, there will ultimately be, at some point, NO DISPOSABLE Income to support the sponsers. What an idiot. Our whole economic system has been derailed and this smuck writes that Rush wanted the Republicans to fail. Frum YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

David, we’d all be better off, and you’d be happier, if you would just be done with it and immolate yourself.

Welcome to FR troll, this is your tenth post since your 1999 sign up and you attack Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio with it.

re: “most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s”

No, it's not! The Democrats have a comfortable majority in the House. That's the way politics work. The majority pretty much gets done what they want to get done.

Fact is, more Democrats voted with the Republicans than the other way around. It would be a “crushing legislative defeat” had the numbers of Dems vs Republicans been more nearly equal. But with the significant majority the Democrats enjoy in the House passing anything by only 4 votes is a defeat for the majority.

Riiight!!Obama and the libtards are totally blameless in this battle because the Republicans were not bipartisan enough.

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

"Moderate" Republicans are the reason we have reached this point in the first place. What rock has Frum been living under for the past six years?

This is an idiotic article that is only matched by your equally idiotic comment.

Clearly you do NOT listen to Limbaugh. Limbaugh doesn't need ratings, nor does he need any more money...he could quit now and live quite comfortably off of his earnings. Your understanding of what motivates Limbaugh is baseless.

We've been stung by the Obamacare vote, so you hop on your computer the next morning and do what? Try to initiate in-fighting? Try to start some finger pointing?

Frum likes the frog in the pot technique. Put a frog in a pot of water, turn on the heat, frog adjusts, keep adding heat, frog adjust to point of death.

Frum prefers conservatives act like frogs and cede ground, take ground, but slowly we are pulled to the left. That is moderation. Standing up for doing what is best for our country or .....eureka!...the constitution is a detriment. I think we have played nice far too long.

I am not an admirer of Rush Limbaugh's character, though I am of his incisive ability to analyze and crystallize and verbalize.

Having said that, I think Frum's slander is completely unwarranted. Rush isn't hurting. I don't think he wants any such thing. Oh yeah, he'll profit by it, and he'll use it; but I do think he loves his country, and sincerely wanted this to fail.

Frum in a Canadian, he has never had America’s best interests at heart.

“frum”: a four-letter epithet and obscenity.
