And the point of this debate is, we all know the deal is not good. Is it the best the GOP can do? I have to side with people like Allen West who say yes. But is it a good deal? No.
Great. Been there, done that. What we need from our conservative analysts now is a strategy and direction forward. I quit listening to Hannity some time ago because he never seemed to really analyze anything, just whine. Rush knows better, and I'm waiting for him to snap out of it.
Jesus is returning too and I suspect he'll get just as much criticism from the perfect world FReepers for his feeding the unemployed masses and plying them with wine rather then telling them to go out and get jobs............../sarc
Coming off of Gulf War I, Bush '41 sported a sparkling 90%+ approval rating.
He was so widely seen as a shoo-in that most of the Democrat heavyweights sat out, not even trying for the nomination.
But one young rapist pervert up-and-coming Governor, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, and his Yale wife, Hillary Rodham ("Two for the Price of One"), went for the nomination.
Rush had someone outside of the Demcratic National Convention, passing out Kool-Aid, a macabre reference to the mass suicide in Jonestown (btw, Jim Jones was a *Communist* and had been well known in San Fran circles), and to the Dems' supposed chances in the election.
Clinton won; he started the "focus like a laser beam" nonsense; "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"; effectually selling the Chicoms ICBM guidance technology and the warhead plans for (at least) the W-88; began the 24x7x365 campaign and the "War Room"; inflicted James Carville on the world; attempted to introduce Hillarycare; made "blow jobs" a household word and indirectly encouraged America's youth to explore the hookup culture; gave us Jocelyn Elders; was impeached, but not convicted by the Senate (partly perhaps due to the mysteriously obtained 800 FBI files on Washington insiders); had a brother who supposedly was a cocaine addict, and himself had rumors of MANY shadowy dealings in Arkansas; had a mysterious "suicide" of a top aide, whose office was *in* the White House, which was investigated not by the FBI or Secret Service, but by the Park Police; was creditably accused of rape; had his minions mount a successful PR blitz against an active independent counsel; and was elected twice despite NEVER achieving as much as 50% of the electorate; and served as a political springboard for the damnable Al Gore.
It is partly due to Rush Limbaugh that the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid" became part of the political vocabulary -- even though Clinton WON, despite Limbaugh's confidence.
Cheers!
It is the best we could *safely* do without risking a huge orchestrated media backlash designed to hang the economy around the GOP's neck like a flaming tire.
Cheers!
