It just means that many people don't know good quality when they see it. I'll take my BBC thank you

Actually, Rush and Hannity gave Bush kid gloves. I listened to them through much of his second term. They criticized some of his actions, but in no way did they savage him the way they did the Democrats. Like during the bailout, when Bush was with the Democrats, I didn't hear Rush blasting Bush, but he went after the Democrats for exactly the same thing that the Bush was supporting. That told me that he wasn't the fearless principled leader he makes himself out to be. He's a man with a microphone, who's never actually had to make a serious policy decision in his life. He is what Teddy Roosevelt was talking about when he said this:


Quote:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Nice string, and the question as to who is the leader of the GOP still is not answered if it is not Rush or Sean. Right now the majority of non political Americans I think would answer Rush. True or not, it is to the Democrats advantage to keep that perception going. My hero Letterman nails it almost every night. A huge portion of the country dispise Limbaugh and think of him as contemptable.

Steele has not won, placed or showed so far and we Democrats are laughing at him and the GOP as general rule. I have never seen them so off message and in such a complete state of dissarray, God I do love it.

And look at the path Obama and cronies are trying to scare us down. Pure socialism at work. Redistribute your wealth to people who don't want to put out the extra effort. Trillions in spending that we don't have and soon we'll all be bankrupt.

You don't think global meltdown of financial markets is scary? You mean he orchestrated that whole thing PRIOR to being elected for the chance to find himself having to face one of the most convoluted insane messes america has ever seen fit to make for itself? But... Bush can do no wrong. Republicans did nothing.

Yestorday in Costa county there's a real estate agent who is applying for welfare because she's down to her last $700. Her home is about to be foreclosed. She's trying to figure out how she's going to sleep in her lexus, and is formulating a plan to send her children with relatives on the east coast. Obama did it.

Why does there need to be a leader? Just because you libs cant do anything without someone telling you what to do/think doesnt mean everyone is like that.

Because without a leader you end up where the republicans are right now, in the middle of nowhere with no idea how to get back.

It's a vision thing.

You are blinded by your partisanship. Both parties engage in finger pointing, and both parties don't want to be held accountable for any problem let alone the current mess we're facing today.
Remember, the current problem we are facing today didn't happen because of one party or one man.

Well what hs is doing sure won't help it. It will only prolong it. There will be more layoff to come and no jobs. Just who is his plan going to stimulate?
