Don't you hard-right Liti-Cons realize you are undermining the Republican Party?

I suppose I needn't ask why you insist on perpetrating that lie, maybe it's in your nature. As you know Limbaugh did not say he wanted the American economy to fail, he said if the purpose of Obama's policies were to advance Socialism in America he hoped he would fail.

He already knows that, vette. He's just following the loonie talking points.

How could anyone want this genius to fail?

"Limbaugh took the argument a step further by refusing to concede that it would be “good for the country” if Obama’s economic agenda does, in fact, lead to economic growth."

I think my characterization of the above is a fair one. Limbaugh does not want economic growth at the price of Obama's economic agenda succeeding.

Political Landscape More Favorable To Democrats

I think my characterization of the above is a fair one. Limbaugh does not want economic growth at the price of Obama's economic agenda succeeding.

On quite a few issues the American people are moving to the left. If President Obama can fix the economy, he will have the political capital, and the popular backing to move the United States in directions the wingnuts do not want it to move in. Many of them understand this. This is why the head wingnut, Rush Limbaugh wants things to get worse for most Americans.


"Increased public support for the social safety net, signs of growing public concern about income inequality, and a diminished appetite for assertive national security policies have improved the political landscape for the Democrats as the 2008 presidential campaign gets underway."

Shut the fuck up, MeeMei.

I'm not real impressed with a survey that asked 0.0009% of the adult population. That's nine ten-thousanths of one percent. But as long as it makes you feel good, run with it Orf.

Results for the main Political Typology Survey are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a nationwide sample of 2,000 adults, 18 years of age or older, during the period Dec. 1-16, 2004. For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. For results based on Form 1 (N=993) or Form 2 (N=1007) only, the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. For results based on abbreviated field periods, with sample sizes ranging from 419 to 523, the margin of error is plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.

Err did you ever do any work in statistics or maybe take a Stats class at some point?

A truly random sample size of 2,000 is enough for a fairly accurate sample in a population even if that population is the size of the US voting public.

Even the smaller sample sizes of around 500 is still fairly accurate at +- 5.5 percent.

Even if the sample size is as far off as the stats say is possible that means social conservatives are only 13.5 percent of the population.

All of the conservative groups added up would only be 29 percent of the population and 31.5 percent of people assuming the maximum margin of error.

It's not fair in any sense of the word.

In the Orf Kingdom, a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.

More, perhaps, if you count the "Conservative Democrats," but they are not conservative in the hard-right way.

"from 1980 (the year Ronald Reagan was elected) to 2005, the national economy, adjusted for inflation, more than doubled. (Because of population growth, the actual increase per capita was about 66 percent.)

"But the average income for the vast majority of Americans actually declined during those years. The standard of living for the average family improved not because incomes grew but because women entered the workplace in droves.

"As hard as it may be to believe, the peak income year for the bottom 90 percent of Americans was way back in 1973...

"Now, with the economy in free fall and likely to get worse, Americans — despite their suffering — have an opportunity to reshape the society, and then to move it in a fairer, smarter and ultimately more productive direction. That is the only way to revive the dream, but it will take a long time and require great courage and sacrifice.

"The right-wingers do not want that to happen, which is why they are rooting so hard for President Obama’s initiatives to fail. They like the direction that the country took over the past 30 years."

Did it ever occur to you to check the original source of the Rush quote and verify for yourself what he actually said? It's not that difficult.

I'c curious (but not enough to read the thread) has anybody explained what being hard- right has to to with the republicans?

In the United States the right is less schismatic than the left. The John Birch Society enthusiastically supported Ronald Reagan.

"On July 31st, just days before Reagan went to Neshoba County, the New York Times reported that the Ku Klux Klan had endorsed Reagan. In its newspaper, the Klan said that the Republican platform 'reads as if it were written by a Klansman'.”

This message is hidden because Le Jacquelope is on your ignore list.

It figures, a thread like this would bring out the ultra crazies.

The_Trouvere and LeJerk, now there is a pair to draw to.

The only way that can be true is if mainstream Democrats are very very close to being Communists. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

How does that follow? Socialists in general are a highly schismatic bunch, and especially in the U.S. Of the American third parties currently in existence listed here, at least 12 are openly socialist, using the word in their name or formulation of doctrine. If they all merged into one big party it might be at least as big a deal as the Libertarians, but they never seem to move that way.
