I still hope he fails to turn the us into a Socialist country. He is a spend aholic that cannot wait to sign on the dotted line and fork over the money earned by working hard to wards their American Dream. That dream is now taited with B.O. and his spending. I hope he falls flat on his face.

Yeah and a thousand people were consistently polled to see who won a primary.

That is why they call it a sample.

Now, I know it is a waste to point out that the figurehead said he wanted the policies to fail.

You guys are good at taking everything out of context.

And what difference does it make if it was before he was sworn in. We had 2 years to hear him and he had 3 months before he swore in and was involved. Why wait?

At the bottom of the poll, 42% of the 900 people polled identified as Democrats. That comes out to 378 people polled. 51% of 378 people polled hoped that George W. Bush did not succeed. That’s just under 193 people. So, 193 people polled, almost five years after George W. Bush took office hoped he didn’t succeed. That is a lot different than a major figurehead of folks identifying as conservatives saying about the President-Elect, “I hope he fails” before the man is even sworn into office.

The only relevant poll question was do you want the president to succeed.

It points out that Rush or anyone else who thinks the same about Obambi is not as bad a person as you would imply.

The issue is the same as wanting Obama to fail.

I also believe that I said if it was about the war then it was worse but if not then they wanted him to fail in general.

No different than what we said about Obama.

I don’t care about all the other poll questions. When those items are an issue then we can look at them. The only question relevant is this one.

How is it a blind assumption?

I was unclear as if it referred directly to the war or in general. In either case it is no different.

Rereading your post, what is with all the “if’s” and assumptions about Democrats wanting the troops to fail? Out of fifty questions on the poll, only three contained the words “war”. There were six questions that contained either the words “war”, “Iraq”, or terrorism. There were zero references to Afghanistan specifically. There were four questions that included something about the Mel Gibson DUI incident.

Flopping Aces even linked to the poll directly in the post to which you yourself linked? It’s a short poll with all the details. Why didn’t you just read over it instead of making blind assumptions about it?

Democrats and liberals speak with forked-tongues. Hooray for Rush! I also pray that OBAMA’S POLICIES DESTROYING THE US fail. Obama and Biden cannot even agree. Obama wants to cut back on our nuclear weapons, yet Biden says Afghanistan is planning attacks. Obama would have us as sitting ducks.

Here is a link to the entire poll, just in case anyone is interested.

August 2006 was hardly the beginning of George W. Bush’s Presidency. I have also never seen that poll before. It would help to know if it was a poll that had a lot of thought put into it or if it was one of those “what do you think” types of polls you see on the nightly news.

Regardless, I think it’s pretty clear what the Democrats are up to regarding Rush Limbaugh. Poke Rush with a stick and he says something divisive. He does it EVERY TIME. Then, actual GOP legislators respond. They either agree with the divisive statement, and in turn appear divisive, or disagree, only to APOLOGIZE to Rush the next day for disagreeing.

Now, you have to look from the outside, as someone who couldn’t care less about Rush Limbaugh and probably isn’t overtly political, but still votes. How do you think that looks to them?

Have you not been on planet earth for the last eight years? Every prominent liberal has been trashing Bush as though he were Hitler himself. Liberals make personal attacks against Republicans because they can’t debate ideas. Conservatives make attacks against agendas and ideologies, not people.

And for the record. Most republicans and conservatives recognize many errors President Bush made while in office. Libs who think we all sing Bush’s praises just don’t want to admit that we can think on our own.

What I love most is that the GOP is really suffering because of this and you folks don’t want to admit it. You act like there is going to be some blowback for Dems when it’s the GOP who is embracing a blowhard with very low approval ratings outside of the base of people who will always vote Republican. Limbaugh is seen by most Americans as a bully entertainer, not taken serious at all. That won’t help your party regain any seats.

You can bring up polls all you want. The truth is you cannot find a single prominent liberal voice saying the garbage Limbaugh is saying because if one had then Republicans would have come unglued in the same way the Obama administration is about Rush. It’s all politics and at this moment the Obama administration is winning the message war.

I don’t expect you to understand when you still see Bush as a success and you called Obama a failure before he’d even unpacked his things. Your judgment on what is and isn’t failure will forever be in question.
