Good Morning/Afternoon!
Hoover was firmly in the progressive wing of the GOP. That cannot be doubted, and it colored the difference in his reaction to economic problems. One of the best books I have read about this was "The Forgotten Man" by Amity Shlaes. It describes in detail the programs that Hoover was putting in place to "fix" the problem, and they were all big government responses to a cyclical problem that made a problem far worse than it should have been.
Gotta tell ya I researched Ryan one weekend intensively and couldn’t find much at all. One reference to a high school gal pal who happened to be black that was it.He is super slick.
Rush is absolutely right that the whining and moaning coming from the GOPe is thousands of times greater than the level of concern they expressed over the Toad-in-Chief Obama.
Because they all know that in politics, you shouldn’t have the perfect be the enemy of the good. Hillary is much worse than anyone on the Republican side.
Maybe a caller will get through and start demeaning Rush like he demeaned Perot supporters back in 1992.
That may be a factor but if you look at his support of cruz as 100% I would rate levin and his brother's influence at about 20%,no more.Gotta remember Limbaugh is a huge egomaniac,few people have a lot of influence on him.
That was a song that was meant to parody guys like Archie Bunker as dolts who even in the 1970s still pined for the days of Herbert Hoover, who in the liberal mind is the greatest villain in American history. Truth is there were no Republicans in the 1970s or even the 1940s who wanted anything to do with Herbert Hoover. When Republicans thought of recent Presidents they wanted, they looked back to Eisenhower, or farther back to Coolidge. Reagan’s favorite President after Lincoln was Coolidge, and Reagan understood the economic theories that motivated Coolidge.
Gotta go you guys have a great weekend, catch some of you on Sunday.
Spot on!
I laugh out loud every time I read a reference to Mr. Haney.

Yeah, just like they did him. What an ass.
What astonished Norman Lear and Carroll O'Connor was that Americans loved Archie Bunker, and agreed with him on many of his opinions, which Lear wrote for him because he thought they were so outrageous it would diminish all the Archie Bunkers out there. But it didn't. Nixon won the biggest reelection in history in 1972 when the democrats ran a guy who had Norman Lear's politics.
It should be...
"...And you knew who you were then, girls were girls and men were men..."
Obviously, this line is fraught with a blatant "micro-aggression and pays absolutely no mind to how one happens to "perceive ones self" on any given day and therefore cannot be used in mixed company.
It is astounding to think how sheltered our youth has become.
**Pinging GoKnow and Karl Spooner to this post**
The clip doesn't look quite as good on my computer, it looks a lot darker. The lighting on Rush is extremely poor. I watched the online version twice now.
I still maintain that per the video clip I saw on my TV (now a ridiculous 7 times), Rush looks perfectly fine. Tanned and healthy. He looks no different than most of the other times I've seen him recently.
By the way, the "grayed out" version of this video clip I described was played at the beginning of O'Reilly's show as part of a video/audio montage of talking heads. That grayed-out version is NOT included in the online version that joebucks provided.
I've spent more than enough time today discussing this super short video clip of Rush. Gotta go.
Bush overspent, and he perhaps could have done more to fight the mortgage problem. But he didn’t create that threat that was existential for the financial system. His biggest mistake was the response to the crisis, which was straight out of Hoover’s handbook. TARP was terrible, and only postponed the day of reckoning.
The part I heard said a 3rd party didn’t have a chance. What did you hear?
Wow! What was his demeanor?

But others on this thread have disagreed with my observations. So better to check it out for yourself. I don’t know how many people on this thread watch the dittocam regularly. I certainly don’t.
IIRC Tuesday, the day of the IN vote, two things happened. The Foxes asked Trump about daddy Cruz and the NE article... Levin and Cruz went unhinged.. I notice NO lawsuit has been filed against the NE. Cruz already knew he was going to get creamed in IN. But Cruz went underground by claiming to have suspended his 'public' campaign... Yet his suspension speech was directed specifically to the 1976 'contested' GOP convention... Ford - Reagan. Rush has a severe case of dementia in painting Cruz anything Reagan. But to those who did not live the years of Reagan, it is all to easy to pontificate Cruz is the closest to Reagan in the present. Strangest thing of all is that Rush and Cruz are more in likeness of the 'voodoo' Bush bunch.
Just heard a news clip of Obama telling the msm they should do their job and vet Trump.
Yeah, just like they did him. What an ass.
Your scenario unfortunately sounds plausible. Don’t forget that Carly’s first words before Cruz came on for his swan song were, “You are still warriors.” There didn’t seem to be any hint of towel folding.
