The object of the attack on Rush isn’t to attack Rush.
The object is to paint Rush as the typical Republican in the minds of the brainwashed masses and some smart but uninformed budding skulls full of mush.
Rush is bad.
Rush is Republican.
All Republicans are bad.
Rush is bad.
Rush is conservative.
All conservatives are bad.
That is the message. And it is the way to cut off debate. Ad hominem. Consider the source. Don’t think about what is being said because the person who said it is bad.
Got it?
Also, as some TV commentators have already pointed out, if they make the news cycle about Rush v. Steele, etc. etc., then they don’t have to talk about and inform people about why we are crashing into an unnecessary Depression.
You are probably right. They will buy off voters with goodies. But we can take solace in this: When historians compare the period 1982-2007, mostly Republican policies, with the next 25 years, there will be NO comparison. The 1982-2007 period with 96% of the period in growth mode will blow away the next period of a stagflationary economy which affords little opportunity to its citizens. Oh and you are also correct in that the rest of the world has depended on us for their well being. We are becoming European Socialists. But they will resent this because it will drag them down even more.We will be hearing alot more about how foreign nations detest America. Bush will look good by comparison. The only reason Europe has been able to “survive” with socialism is because they haven’t had to spend on their defense. We have done it for them. Now we won’t be able to afford it. They will anger them immensely. And make the world a much more dangerous place, too.
That's a personality call I think. I believe he will have, as enough dem house members see their defeat coming (or after it in 2010).
If he doesn't moderate/compromise/stop, then he'll have revolt in his part. He can still continue on in a hardheaded tyrannical style. He may well do that. I think we'll find out soon.

The sooner he is rejected the better the chances of saving our Republic!

You betcha!
Thanks for the ping!
Fair enough, but it remains to be seen if the Dems in congress would revolt. The Blue Dogs, almost certainly, but the rest of them, we’ll see soon enough as you said.
To redirect attention from his total incompetence as a President and "Commander of Chief".
For the same reasons that Hitler demonized the Jews and Hugo Chavez demonizes the US - it distracts people from putting the blame for their horrible situation where it rightfully belongs.
Obama's out of that loop (it's too functional). As for Emmanuel, he does indeed have a finger in every pie, baker, bakery and delivery van...
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Columnists and pundits like Barnes, Brooks and others who are not liberal writers, still can not bring themselves to accept or acknowledge Obama's Marxist background and far left associations. Starting from his days in Hawaii with Communist Frank Davis, then with radical Arab/Muslim associations at Columbia University and Harvard, and finally his association with domestic terrorist Ayers in Chicago beginning in the early to mid 1990's, Obama's past has been an open book for those who look beneath the suave, polished demeanor. Why anyone, especially supposedly informed writers like Barnes, would expect that he has this country's best interests at heart is beyond my understanding.
God had better keep Rush. The way he has put on pounds and the way he was sweating at CPAC leads me to believe his health is taking a beating these days.
How did we get here? We slept and they didn’t. We must engage and demand resposibility, accountability and fiscal control
You can always tell a centrist. He has the double yellow line on his back.
I work with alot of Obama supporters. It’s been interesting over the past week - I’ve been hearing them voice irritation and distrust towards O and the administration, and the new policies. It was refreshing that the light switch is coming on for some.
why does Obama and Emmanuel and his boys waste time on stupid things like demonizing Rush Limbaugh?
