It's really curious and revealing that all the wingnuts on this thread see the (D)'s as ATTACKING Rush, and reflexively defend the pompous, bloated asshole. Shows where they are in the (R) spectrum of voters.

>> Now you should clearly understand the dem strategy towards rush limbaugh...well, you won't, but most reasonable people will understand it.

This is wrong.

Most Americans, reasonable or not, if you say, "Did you vote for change?", will say "Yes". So far so good.

But if you ask them, "Did you vote for American to move away from capitalism and to socialism", will say "HELL NO". If you say, "Are you willing to give up 50-60% of your income in order to provide health care benefits to people who don't have any, to provide for increased food stamp programs, to provide for unemployment benefits that last not only a few months, but 18 months, 24, or even years -- they don't want it.

This is the point of Krauthammer's excellent column. What Obama is doing is being done under false pretenses. This is what Emmanuel meant when he said never waste a good crisis. "We will take advantage of this crisis to give the American people something they did not vote for and something they DO NOT WANT".

There are a few total idiots out there who don't get this -- you're one of them. But most are simply unaware that they've been had.

I do not want to live in Canada or Great Britain.
