If the continuance of our Republic is dependent upon Rush we are in very bad shape. But, fortunately (or unfortunately), it now and always has depended upon the People.
It is the People that have put this nation where it is (good and bad) and if it is to continue it will be the People who enable it to do so. Only the People can recognize its mistakes and rectify them.
Rush has been using at least three deceptive and valid arguments/analogies against any deal: 1) the alleged lack of need for “victors” to compromise; 2) inflating the result of putting a few more conservatives in the House; and 3) the idea of 2010 being some sort of final or decisive victory.
He is acting as if taking back the House gave us the whole show like Ike conquering Germany. It is a totally different thing not at all comparable.
We had a landslide victory, particularly in the states, but that does not (as in a parliamentary system) give us total control of the national government. Our government is not designed to change rapidly and on the turn of a dime. It is NOT a pure democracy.
There was no final victory in 2010 like in the Super Bowl. No winner take all kind of deal. Rather, we won the first quarter but the game is not over and not assured. Only by showing the patience and persistence of the Left can we win the game. The danger, which Rush is fanning, is that we become disillusioned and turn against the Tea Party and the GOP and allow Urkel another term.
Yes he did and it DID give us the whole show. But how can you hold Rush accountable for the actions of the RINOs? He knows full well the capacity of the GOP to cave when they have the power and he constantly reminds everyone of this on a daily basis..........

This is a marathon, not a sprint.....
2012 is a long ways away, and a steady pace is necessary to win.
To me the dems can sing their mantra, but more people are seeing their true colors, and Barry’s immaturity in dealing with real issues.
The teleprompter won’t be of much use going forward.
