I think your argument will fall on deaf ears.

I mean all you have to do is see...oh we are in a period of recession it will bottom out and then there will be a period of relative growth or vice versa. The timing is the essential part and if someone were to figure that out they would be a very very extrodinarily wealthy person.
Nevertheless, he did predict a recession... a year or so before others did.

How can any sensible person (liberal or conservative) NOT see this Lunatic for what he is....A rambling blind one-sided cry baby!

How the heck do you wish more job losses and more heartache for Americans just to stick it to the President?

I'm sorry you lose all respect and credibility when all you stand by is that everything George W Bush did was great and every single thing Obama does or has done is evil and the worst thing for America....
C'mon!

Anyone care to explain the rationale behind this insanity?

DailyTech - Rush Limbaugh, Bloggers Tell Americans to Boycott GM

What a load!

I had to link to two different blogger sites to get to an article in which partial quotes are dissected from the original material and the "meaning" is explained by the writer as the "quotes" are presented. That's called Kool-Aid buddy.


Limbaugh reassures any GM workers who might be listening that the boycotters aren't angry at them. "They don't want to patronize Obama. They don't want to do anything to make Obama's policies work!" he explains. "This is an untold story, by the way. Of course, the government-controlled media is not gonna report anything like this but there are a lot of people who are not going to buy from Chrysler or General Motors as long as it is perceived Barack Obama is running it, because people do not want his policy to work here because this is antithetical to the American economic way of life."

So where is the part where Rush calls for a boycott?

By the way, I do agree with Rush that the Democrats power grab that our kids will be forced to finance is antithetical to the American way of life.


"How the heck do you wish more job losses and more heartache for Americans just to stick it to the President?"

Remember the spending bill that was so urgently needed that no one was allowed time to read it, and that BO then took five days to sign? Do you remember the promise that was made and the justification that was offered for saddling our kids with this trillion dollars additional debt? Unemployment was to be limited to eight percent by approving this unprecedented spending. Well now it's at 9.4% and is increasing every day. The point to the actions taken by the democrats is to secure their own future by involving government in every aspect of our lives thereby making as many people as possible beholding to the hand that feeds them. Socialism is being forced on us with every "emergency" measure taken.

I bought a new Ford pickup in 1977 with a 360 CI V-8.

It couldn't pull its sorry @ss up McDonald Pass past 45 MPH empty-loaded.

So 2 months into new ownership, I complained to the Dealer in Helena, MT, who told me the tools and dyes for making that engine were long worn out and therefore the engine tolerances were a bit sloppy - and that I was stuck with it.

I began reading about Ford engines and found that in 1970, Ford accidently made a very powerful and efficient engine, the 351 Cleveland 2V. It only had one defect, bad oiling design.

Later I found out you could put the Cleveland heads on Ford's Windsor block and end up with a famously efficient, reliable and powerful engine - which I now have.

Four years after Ford realized they had a super engine, with the Cleveland-Windsor design, they stopped producing them in the U.S.

I think they are still made in Brazil and Australia.

It seems like American companies WANT junk for American citizens as a socialist construct.

It is as though the belief is that if one outfit has excellence over the others, it is bad for all the lesser achievers and that's just not fair, so the excellence must be brought down to it's "peers" lowest common denominator to achieve fair play for all.

The Democratic leader 3 years ago was former Vermont governor and DNC party chair Howard Dean a previously elected official who was acting in an official capacity for the Democratic party. If you cannot tell difference between a former governor and party chair and a radio demagogue I feel sorry for you.

Maybe James Von Bronn shot the wrong guy...Maybe he should have aimed at Rush!!

(I'm only kidding, but someone should knock Rush out..Mike Tyson maybe? I wish he would be up for the job. Times are hard, and a good upper cut to Limbaugh's fat jaw would stir some interesting news articles. )

Next at six: "Tyson beats Limbaugh to a pulp with one JAB"

Anyways, guys.....stop feeding the pigs (Limbaugh and Faux Noose).
