Rush is Driving Me Crazy

Anyone staying home and giving Obama a second term to complete his intentional collapse of this country deserves every miserable ting we have coming to us.

Totally agree.

This is no time to sulk because "your" guy did not get the nomination.

[CodeToad]

“Rush told you months ago that he’d tell you when it was time to be afraid.

I think we just got the “bulletin.””

Dittos!

[Teacher317]

When Republicans are next in power then that would be the ideal time for a large state, or group of states, to secede.
There would be bloodshed if it was done when dems are in power.

Not history major, eh? ;^)

The last time states seceded, the Republicans were in charge... and it got juuuust a little bloody (more killed in 3 years than in all other US wars combined).

The truth is that there are very very few examples in the history of humankind where a section of a nation (or a colony) tried to break away peacefully and they weren't attacked within a short period of time. It's a human nature thing. It has nothing to do with individual political philosophy. (Among the reasons our Constitution was such a n incredible document is that it accounted for the fact that governments, of ALL stripes, behave in much the same way... inexorably seeking more power and control, and rarely, if ever, ceding any.)

Vote Straight R top down and get everyone you know to do the same.

I'm amazed that there are still people out there who think this is going to help. If we owned both chambers with 80% margins, not a damn thing would change in any substantial way.

“It’s Mitch McConnell who should be driving ALL of us up a wall. Instead of coming out fiery and vowing to repeal this monstrosity, he comes out tired and beaten and says the task will be almost impossible.

Then resign your position, Mitch, and let someone with more fire power lead the charge if you are so incapable.”

There is no question but that McConnnell is spineless but he has a point:

Freebies have never been repealed...not ever.

The best that we can hope is that it is, at the very least, rolled-back.

[SaxxonWoods]

Saving America is not Rush’s job. His job is to garner high ratings.

If he’s driving you crazy, turn him off and lower his ratings.

Congress needs to act to eliminate ALL waivers, even for themselves. Congress needs to do this NOW, before the election so that the supporters of Obamacare know that they will also bear the full extent of the law and rationing.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

So-called “Republicans” who are, in fact, all RINOs, do not want to be seen as the “heartless” who just don’t care about the down-trodden.

They vote as they do only to prevent race war, period.

[zeugma]

Rush, like many people, still believe we have a representative republic in which the control of our nation's leadership can be made peacefully at the ballot box.

I no longer share that opinion. I believe that our only options are for the conservative states to either secede or engage in civil war, the sequel. IMO, our government is irreparably broken, the system is fraught with corruption and changing the faces in Congress or the WH doesn't change the corrupt system they have created.

I'm not sure there are enough of us yet.

The basic problem is that as long as  the establishment continues to allow elections to take place as scheduled, people will continue to believe that their vote actually means something. This gives the vast majority all the fig leaf they need to believe they are still free.

Personally, I believe we are further along than the graphic below indicates.

He talks.
The time for talk is over.
If a clown like Al Franken can go from SNL to the Senate, so can Rush.
But he won't because he's too busy talkin' while others are doin'.

[donna]

Stop acting like a beaten wife.

[rlmorel]

Sigh. I know this will sound odd, but I look around me every single day, and think:

“This is all going to go away.”

The hot water coming out of the shower head.
The weekend drives in the car to remote destinations.
The security of a locked door.
The supermarket shelves full of produce and products.
A fridge full of food and ice.
The Internet.
Toilet paper.
Aspirin.
The rule of law.
A job.
Soap.
A paycheck.
Gasoline.
Heating.
Air conditioning.
Fresh potable water from the tap.
Pets.
Deoderant.
Elaborate dinners.
Security.

And much more. Every time now, when I walk into a grocery store and see stuff packed floor to ceiling, I think: “It is all going to go away.”

Every time I turn on the shower, I think of what a miracle it is, and how much I will desperately miss that, because I enjoy it so much.

I hate feeling this way. I hate it because it didn’t have to turn out this way. And I have felt that way for a few years now.

[beandog]

Apparently, unlike you, most of us can form our own opinions and listen to talk radio. Sorry that you are not able to do that.

[rlmorel]

Unfortunately, I am going to try to enjoy what I am blessed with for as long as I can. If she felt the same, things might be different. But she doesn’t.

I sat down with her a year or so ago for a serious discussion and said: “What do you think is happening? Where do think things will be five years from now?”

She thinks things will continue on as they have.

Being a student of history, I know that history is chock full of people who had all the comforts of a modern society, money, food, housing, etc., all of which they mostly took for granted..then one day, they find themselves walking down an icy road with worn out shoes, no food or money, trying to escape from something or go to something. They had a vibrant life, and whether it was the Vandals, the British, the Indians, the Yankees, the Nazis, the NVA, or even their fellow citizens, they had to leave it all behind to survive.

Well, I have been with her for the better, and will be with her for the worse.

[raybbr]

Yeah, I know that the Constitution just really got trampled on...but, Rush is more interested in venting than in laying out a good battle plan to win in November. I do hope he grows out of it.

A battle plan for who? The GOP won't follow it and, unless you haven't decided yet, you already know who you're going to vote for.

What would his "battle plan" consist of?

[chris37]

Yes, I agree with Mark, and I’m going to do that, provided congress does not pass a Failed to Vote Democrat Tax that is, and as far as the option being disastrous, we are already there.

The sad fact is that the GOP does not even know or recognize what happened.

In fact, I’m pretty sure at least some number of them are perfectly fine with what happened.

[TalBlack]

“Obama is trying to drive us into armed revolution, so he can confiscate all firearms.”

An impossible task even if only a fraction of gun owners have any balls.

[GlockThe Vote]

Again - until you ABMR crowd have a credible plan to oust obama, your staying home and giving obama another term is just as bad as the most brain dead communist leftist marching to the polls for obama in November.

I dont like Romney, but it is what it is.

[Yosemitest]

You'd be surprised how many wouldn't fight.
But it would be interesting.

[Mike Darancette]

In July 2012 - what can we be optimistic about?

November 2012!
