And he's kicking some serious ass, in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>I give him a B considering the state of the union.<BR/><BR/>And Fuck Rush and all his unconscionable lovers and followers. They're il-informed goobers who use lies, ignorance, bigotry, and Do-As-I-Say-Not-As-I- Do, and praise these things as virtue.<BR/><BR/>And Fuck that out-of-touch square-head, Mitt Romney, and his stupid magic underwear sewn from the tears of child slave laborers everywhere. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Wisco. I'm just getting tired of these a-holes manipulating the narrative and spotlight as if their ideas haven't created death, suffering for profit, and planetary sickness.<BR/><BR/>Douchebags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25168606.post-84912921423792747822009-03-02T14:22:00.000-06:002009-03-02T14:22:00.000-06:00If you're very cynical (as I've no doubt Rush is),...If you're very cynical (as I've no doubt Rush is), and if you're not concerned with building an actual future (as I've no doubt he isn't), then his policy makes a lot of sense. And, sadly, has a good chance of working.<BR/><BR/>No matter how well the stimulus works, there will still be a huge recession. Even by Obama's own (way optimistic) figures, there will still be a massive deficit in 4-5 years' time. If Republicans can say then "see, we told you it wouldn't work", they'll find plenty of fertile soil among the cash-strapped, short-of-memory voters who've spent the last several years in a day-by-day struggle to keep a roof over their heads.<BR/><BR/>I'm not defending it. But from Rush's point of view, I think it's depressingly obvious.vethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376500106064052491noreply@blogger.com
