He did fail, but then resorted to what amounts to cheating to get a "win." I doubt we will see him for a few days as he will be in front of a mirror congratulating himself.

Why would anybody listen to Rush? He got Obama elected with his political stunt he devised and it back fired!

Crackhead. Stupidly running a RINO got Obama elected.
Nice try, though.

Obama has won. Liberalism has won. Tyranny has won. Statism has won.

Health care "reform" is just the beginning, folks. As individuals, our purpose on earth is now solely to serve the best interests of The State. America is dead.

As Tytler said, "great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."

Welcome to bondage.

It has been a slow death. The mentality of the government worker as somehow existing on a higher moral plane that the rest of us is so entrenched they all think their jobs are the most important in the world and everything would grind to a halt if they didn't have them (until they are 50 and have their retirement fully vested). Is it really accurate to describe working in government as public service?

The local school district has lost students to the amount that they have too few students to justify keeping one of the schools open. The backlash, crying and anguish among the employees (bus drivers, cooks, aids, teachers) is amazing.

Here's a question, does government exist to serve the people, or do people exist to serve government? In the case I stated above, it seems we exist to keep all of the above employed (until early retirement).

I hope I am an remnant of what America's founding principles meant. It will be the remnant that will have to pick up the pieces.

It should never, ever be controversial to reduce government when it is not needed, but somehow, these people become saintlike and separate from the rest of us that foot the bill.

If the plan is to reduce the US to a third-rate power under socialism or worse, how could the planner's success be good?

Rush's words were never appalling to me--he was just ahead of the curve, as usual.

I rather listen to Rush' s ideas, than Obamas. Obama is green behind his ears, and his puppetmasters behind the curtains are giving him his orders.
Rush demonstrates lots of wisdom, and can read liberals like a book.

Wishful thinking is interpreting facts, reports, events, perceptions, etc., according to what one would like to be the case rather than according to the actual evidence. If it is done intentionally and without regard for the truth, it is called misinterpretation, falsification, dissembling, disingenuous, or perversion of the truth.
