Look, let’s say you have a kitchen drawer that’s stuck shut, and some idiot wants to open it by using a stick of dynamite. Trying to keep him from succeeding with his plan does NOT mean you don’t want the drawer unstuck. It means you don’t want an idiot trying to do the job. You don’t want him shoving that bomb into the drawer, and you don’t want him lighting that fuse. Hell, you don’t even want him to find the matches.

Best. Analogy. Yet.

Almost.

Take that same scenario, using dynamite, and apply it to constipation. That is the situation we’re in now, Obama is going to blow up our butts with dynamite…forget the drawer in the kitchen, this is going to kill us.

Must be one of those “let’s show the American People (and the world) that we’re all in this together” things.

I don’t remember Democrats having any problem with calling Bush a failure.

Come on, you conservative politicians; stop all this BS and start pushing back…jeez!

Anybody who wants him to fail is an idiot, because it means we’re all in trouble

You’re the idiot. We are all in trouble. And Obama is going to be the guide dog on the road to hell. And this man wants to engage in the quibble about who wants Obama to fail versus who does not want Obama to fail?

What a putz.

First he flip-flopped on the Stimulus, and now he sounds like a Obama apologist. This moron will never be a contender for POTUS.

He is such a lightweight compared to Palin & Jindal.

So,, I guess he wants Obama to succeed with the very policies Gov Sanford says he doesn’t believe in. So,, he is either a hypocrite or has no principles. Or he is just completely confused.

I can see where he would want BHO to succeed in keeping the country from total financial collapse, but I think it is very naive of Gov. Sanford to think that the agenda BHO has can be separated from policy and legislation. This is the first time the liberals/progressives have had a “perfect storm” and they are going to remake America into something we won’t like to live in if no one opposes BHO at every turn.

That how I felt about Reagan. He could have taken or left the Office. He was running because he loved America and thought his way was the right way.

These freakin’ Senators are difficult to tell apart on a Party basis. Watching Soetoro’s “summit” the other day I saw a pic of the 3 stooges all sitting together: Lieberman, McCain, and Grahamnesty. Three total disgraces.

We will find our leader … there is another.

Let’s roll.

I didn’t feel this way when Carter took office (but I was relatively young). Nor did I feel this gloom during the Clinton years. But the Obama administration is, as Daniel Henninger rightly notes today, every bit as radical as we should have expected. We are, as another poster wrote, a nation in a trance.

I don’t want him to fail. Anybody who wants him to fail is an idiot, because it means we’re all in trouble.

Sanford, we’re already in trouble. And he is already failing. Sure it hurts to excise a tumor, but in the end, you don’t have cancer. I am willing to have the pain of his failure, as long as it means that we can use the failure to permanently decrease the size and scope of the federal government.

Sanford is a wannabe, beta-male. Who gives a flying fark what this idiot has to say? We need people who stand by their conservative PRINCIPLES regardless of who the president is and no matter the issue. I wouldn’t trust this guy to hold my beer, let alone represent me in Congress. He plays to whatever will get him re-elected, just like so many others in office (RINOs).

/sad

And I said [to Obama], “Man to man, I dont want to disagree with you on anything

Does that mean Sanfordnow thinks all the positions the Republiccan Party/Pres candidate took were wrong? If he no longer wants to disagree with anything Obama is pushing he has drunk the Koolade

No cajones. No fight. Too chicken sh*t to be called a racist.

If he fails, socialism fails. And he’s a one-termer. America overcame Jimmy Carter. We can overcome this zero.

Unfortunately, I feel we are like the cryptologist in that awesome Twilight Zone episode…already on the flying saucer headed to “our planet”.

Who can we look to raise the cry that if we go Obama’s way there will be no way back?

No one. It’s like we’re under some kind of spell.

The Ericksonian Hypnosis things keeps rearing it’s ugly head.

We need to fight this guy every step of the way and by all legal means possible. Believe me, if we don’t act quickly we will have less and less legal means available

What I see in the Republican party is the SOS. At a local level it’s “We need committee people to knock on doors and hand out literature”. That just isn’t going to do it. No way, no how. The decent people in this country have been outmaneuvered by axelrod the astroturfer. Acorn will do even more election fraud with blatant impunity. Hell we just gave the thugs something like 4 BILLION FREAKING DOLLARS… You don’t even have to prove you are qualified to be POTUS if you are a leftist democrat. They are shoving tax cheats in the cabinet with utter contempt for the american people.

On top of that, obama has shown that you can accept foreign and fraudulent contributions with no fear IF YOU ARE A LIBERAL DEMOCRAP. The press is totally in the bag. Hell, if the camera panned down, we would probably see damp spots on Chrissy and Olbie every time they cover obama.

And, what I’m seeing at my local level is “We’ll have a float in the fourth of july parade and we’ll knock on doors a little more” BOVINE EXCREMENT. That aint gonna do it folks.

The Republicans and conservatives have been subject to a quadruple envelopment and they are still trying to do parade ground drills.

Oh hell, I gotta get back to work so I can pay my taxes for my part of the 4 trillion dollars the jug eared jackass has spent in his first 30 days.

PS – As far as solutions – The right needs to get in the face of these marxists. We should be out in front of our congressgritters offices with protests in mass. We should have busloads of picketers outside the local offices of the network affiliates. We should be melting down the freaking DC phone lines.. But, nope, everyone is too stinking afraid to offend obama.

I want the country and freedom to succeed. The truth is that jug ears agenda is at odds with freedom and liberty on so many levels.
