I usually get a great deal from your articles, as a middle of the road independent voter. But this time you've done nothing but put an equally untenable spin on the rhetoric being thrown around as you are accusing the Democrats of doing. (Awkward sentence.) Rush should not have said he hoped Obama would fail. Obama's failure means the failure of all of us, our 401Ks, our jobs, our infrastructure . . . Whether he supports Obama is irrelevant. He should be hoping for the success of the country, of all of us. And as a very popular radio talk person, he does represent/inform a huge number of people, which is probably the only reason he got an apology, to placate his voting base. He has a responsibility. Of course he's unhappy. The Democrat's strategy turned the tables on him, making him the butt for a change. It is also naive to complain about this. It's not illegal, it's politics and both sides play the game equally harshly when they have the opportunity.

Ma'am;.... I got a picture of Rush naked...How much will you give me for it??? Just kidding... That is the kind of stuff we used to say to each other when we found out some punk was getting married... Oh! I got a picture of HER naked... Wanna see it??? It's great to say to some kid while he's standing in the middle of a wobbly old joist wearing a welding hood that keeps flopping down on its own.... Dangerous too...I really do have a picture of Rush naked... It cost me way too much since some one morphed a beached albino whale onto his face.... That is probably a future picture... Rush of the future: Heavier still, and all washed up... Thanks...Sweeney

Re: julia;...Ma'am, throwing a bunch of paper with numbers on it isn't going to fix any problems.... These rich people, the ones who ended up with all of the wealth don't want to be saved... Everything else is beyond saving.... Pat your self all over... Body and soul are still at the same address... Okay, let's save ourselves... We don't need that stinking economy that is always making everyone poorer and poorer still... WE don't need the government if it cannot protect us from the money grubbers and the bean counters... Instead of standing up that beast, so it gets another shot at us; let's take it apart and start over... Some body wrote the last constitution... They put on their sun screen just like you...They did not fly about on gossamer wings... They had a problem, and they fixed it...They didn't fix it better than it had to be fixed... They were not building for the ages... We can do better knowing our own needs than those people could do for us not knowing our needs... It has failed...Party politics has failed...Lack of democracy has failed...The economy has failed... Freedom has failed,, and equality too since we have never had enough of them...Rush does not want to reform the government and the economy because to him, it is working great....Well that makes one.... Who else is it working for??? Thanks...Sweeney

Obama and his cohorts are always trying to marginalize thoughts and ideas that shine the light on the murky, ill-conceived, and flat out wrong ideas that democrats have. The saddest and most frightening thing about the step by step destruction of the country as we know it is that the destroyers know what they are doing, know what is needed to avert the crisis they are herding us toward, and refuse to do these things because their idealogy demands that government, heretofore the problem, be considered the solution. In other words, they are not destroying the country in good faith, they are doing so with malice aforethought.

Re: Jobe;...I'll agree that the democrats have some murky, ill conceived ideas; like supporting the war in Iraq by giving some Nabob the ability to go there, and then funding the nonsense....Giving billions of dollars to the financial sector of the country when that is not in the least a goal of our constitution, is ill conceived, and criminal.... How do we go from murky, ill conceived ideas to malice aforthought??? Isn't that sort a big step to take??? Because I do not see government doing its job as the problem.... Every goal it has set for itself. Liberty, defense, welfare, unity, tranquity are good goals and worth support...As far as I can tell, capitalism is not mentioned once in the constitution by name.... Yet, government puts the needs of business first and the needs of people last... And I will tell you how it is... If those bankers went out of business tomorrow there would be as many in line tomorrow....There is not a want in this world for people who wish to sit on their butts while others slave....So all the malice amounts to in my opinion is a single class helping itself to the proceeds of another class... That is what government does, and what government facilitates...It has had its way...Its way is poison for the whole society...Thanks...Sweeney

Oh the hypocrisy is just delicious, Saunders. No one dares get into a pissing match with Jabba the drug addict, because we know who will win. That, of course, is why you don't dare to either. You're both just a couple of big fat bags of words.
