Forget the FAUX-guts they showed on ONE vote… Just wait till the MSM, the radical left at Daily Kos and MMA, ect , gets reved up… They are ALREADY running ads against Republicans… Our guys will melt and wilt and drop thier panties like an ugly girl on Prom Night…

We better get on the phones and e-mails to counter the left.

Oh John, I

don’t think the press could possibly get any “harder” over his sun-glistened chiseled pectorals, his suave speaking, his intelligent, articulate, clean manner, his unending brilliance… *vomit*.

Well, I’ll be! There is a Kennedy with a functioning brain afterall.

Me and the other cons would crack up laughing at these lefty morons who had NO idea that I was quoting Rush the ROCK BAND! hahaha

Tony737 on January 29, 2009 at 9:05 AM

Lefties prolly hate Rush the band too, since they’re Randians. They dedicated 2112 to Ayn’s Anthem and wrote a song in its name.

Live for yourself — there’s no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more

Who knows, maybe the 3 or 4 Dems with a brain will distance themselves from the rest of their looney comrades if the attacks really sink into the gutter. Maybe that 3 or 4 will turn into 6 or 8, then 12…. You never know.

We’re already at 18.

It’s a start.

I could swear that there have been studies showing that most ’stimulus’ packages take effect too late to affect the recession — in many/most cases, kicking in after the recession ended.

How about it, Hot Air gurus — can you do some detective work? I’ve come up dry.

They already covered that: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/01/21/cbo-stimulus-package-too-much-too-late/?print=1

For a take, written for the intelligent layman, on this central fallacy of Keynesianism, please see chapter two of Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson.

Funny how the hope of the GOP is a loudmouth entertainer. Does he remind you all of Bonzo’s sidekick?

Vernon Hardapple on January 29, 2009 at 1:15 PM

Bonzo? Isn’t that the guy in the Oval Office?

Oh wait, that’s Bozo. Never mind.

The two biggest “takeaways” from the interview:

The Obama stimulus package may create or save some 3 million jobs. But that will only cut this year’s projected job loss from 6 million to roughly 3 million. It’s still going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

More stunning still, the $700 billion in TARP funds won’t be close to enough to solve the banking industry’s problems. In effect, the U.S. banking system is already insolvent, and bringing it back to life will require another $1.4 trillion, a lot of it from the feds. In effect, we’ll have to nationalize the banks for the short term. Roubini believes we have no choice but to take that route, even as he acknowledges the long-term dangers.”

Have a nice day.

Actually, he doesn’t think that.

He clearly states the Depression Stimulus Plot is about consolidating Democrat power, just as FDR’s Perpetual Depression strategy was about the same thing.

Obama has been goofin’ pretty hard these first few days. Seems thin-skinned and kind of girlie. Hope he grows up soon. Maybe he’ll toughen up when the press get harder on him.

Rush is a smart man.

Yes, he did win the election, but it doesn’t mean we should roll over and play dead, or that Rush should stop using his position to try to rally, educate, or even rile people over the mess that we’ve gotten ourselves into. I think you agree.

MrScribbler on January 29, 2009 at 10:36 AM

Rush exhibits something that’s foreign to many and a lot of people find offensive, too: personality.

bilups on January 29, 2009 at 10:30 AM

As much as I hate to say it, if a President McCain were presented with this bill I think he’d be likely to knuckle under and sign it after some meaningless concessions.

He proclaims that he doesn’t like to talk about himself, and goes right on with his perennial case of “I” strain.

I always heard that as obnoxious sarcasm, a brand of humor, and he is in the entertainment biz

his listeners show the same worshipful deference to him that the guy in the White House

no, not really. Lots of talk generated, lots of listeners, yes, again he is in the entertainment biz… but worshipful deference,aka the pres, NO!

Many — if not most — of his ideas are sound. But his self-aggrandizing shtick has simply gotten to be too much. He was much better to listen to in his Sacramento days.

Entertainment = bigger ratings = national syndication

His is a brand of humor that is not for everyone.

It’s too bad, really. Many — if not most — of his ideas are sound. But his self-aggrandizing shtick has simply gotten to be too much. He was much better to listen to in his Sacramento days.

MrScribbler on January 29, 2009 at 10:36 AM

I like Rush, a lot. But your argument is that you like his substance, but not his style. Obama, and all things lib, are style over substance. Equating them is silly. Is it really a difficult choice for you?
