The Op must be talking about Rush who said he hoped Obama fails. That does not mean he hoped America fails. On the contrary, Obama succeeding at turning America into a bankrupt, socialized, weak, nanny state where the constitution is abandoned and income is redistributed is a true failure for this country.

Lightbulb Why do Republicans want America to fail?

It's not "Republicans" who want that failure. It's the Right Wing Nut Job contingent within the GOP that wants to see America go down the drain. These are the right wing authoritarian personalities whose political knowledge ends with "who should I hate now?" During the cold war, it was the Russians, but they've faded from view. You'd think the Russkies would be replaced by Red China, but no. "American" corporations love the slave-wage commie labor force, so Red China is definitely off the RWNJ hate map. You see, RWNJs are excellent followers and will march in lockstep with the directives passed down from the appropriate mouthpiece. Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, take your pick.

Excellent info here:

Right-wing authoritarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, who's left to hate?

Americans! That's right. Anyone who isn't a certified fellow RWNJ is the target of their bitter bile. Just look at who they've targeted in recent months: firefighters, teachers, librarians, police, auto workers, postal workers, and now women, too.

It seems they fantasize a coming apocalypse where America will be cleansed of all who aren't one of them. Then they can emerge from their bunkers to a fresh start with Ted Nugent as their fuhrer and Limbaugh as their spiritual guru.

They've all had the Limbotomy treatment

You are truly 'nuts' IF you think that I or any truthful person would believe that Wikipedia has ANY type of excellent info to offer .. anyone!

They are, as I type this .. furiously scrubbing and editing their pages!

They don't have the time or Honesty to do anything else!!

You also say and I quote: "American" corporations love the slave-wage commie labor force, so Red China is definitely off the RWNJ hate map.

You wont have to look far .. I suspect that you have chosen to ignore it but it has been reported .. Everywhere!
Clues: No taxes, Jobs Relocated

THAT, my friend is only ONE of many, many cases of fraud, deceit and downright Criminal Activity being supported by .. You guessed it .. LWNJ'S!

(Got a post up about Your Other Criminal Chicago Thug .. Little Timmy Geitner right now)

This is such a dumb statement. If America succeeds, the federal government succeeds. If America fails, the federal government fails.

Sorry, I don't identify the federal government as "America"
Maybe in the mind of a statist.

The GOP does not wish for America to fail, they hope for the defeat and failure of socialism. As the driving force and architect of the drive toward a Marxist society, Barack Obama must be defeated and his policies reversed is the viewpoint of the political right. The Republican goal is to restore the Republic, not to harm it.

"Wanting" it to fail and knowing that it WILL fail if we don't reverse 50 years of failed "progressive" policies is two different things.

When can we expect Liberals to advocate for a balanced budget, entitlement reforms, tax reforms, and smaller government?

Let us know when you have the answer.
