Republicans for Another Depression (RAD)

The true leader of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, famously rejected President Obama's heroic efforts to prevent another Great Depression by declaring "I hope he fails."
On February 27 Limbaugh added, "The dirty little secret ... is that every Republican in this country wants Obama to fail, but none of them have the guts to say so; I am willing to say it."
Actually a few Republicans have the guts to say so - enough to form "Republicans for Another Depression" (RAD) if they want. These are RAD-ical Republicans indeed!
Former Power-Behind-the-House-Speaker Tom DeLay (h/t AnnetteS):
TP: Do you agree with Rush Limbaugh that we shouldn’t hope for President Obama to succeed?
DELAY: Well, exactly right. I don't want this for our nation. That’s for sure.
Rightwing talk show hosts Mark Levin and Rick Santorum, once the Senator from PA:
TP: What do you think about what Rush said about, I mean, do you hope, should we hope that President Obama fails?
LEVIN: Yes.
TP: Yes?
SANTORUM: If…absolutely we hope that his policies fail.
Stalker Michelle Malkin:
When the President proposes things like trillion dollar budgets that have earmarks that he claims do not exist, yes, I hope that fails. When he proposes the same kind of wealth re-distributionist policies that had appalled me under the Bush administration, yes, I hope they fail.
But some sane Republicans are horrified by "RAD" Republicans:
Gov. Mark Sanford (SC):
Anybody who wants [the president] to fail is an idiot, because it means we're all in trouble.
Former Gov. Mitt Romney (MA):
We want our country to succeed, no matter who’s in power…in good times and bad, the interests of this great nation come first.”
This is a remarkably deep divide within the GOP, which rarely argues in public. When will the Corporate Media start running headlines that say "Republicans Divided Over Depression"?

No problem
We all have to work together.. too many wing nuts...lol
Amen
Basically there activities are anti-american, hopefully the american people can see this now.
JUst because Barack got elected
doesn't mean the revolution for change is over. In fact the battle for truth has only begun. We have four years to make sure they are under the bus for both elections and two years to dig the dirt from under their greedy nails for evidence. Won't be too hard, but watch internet policy. We need our solid sources of news if the reicht wing owns it all. It is now fair, but here is another trustworthy site. DemocracyNow.org
When the heads on cable and the wing nutz overtake the c-span as the so called conservatives did this weekend, then we need all the help to get the facts of what's going on overseas, without the warmongerers beating the drum for nuke war.
It won't be easy to keep this trash out of kids heads, but with all of us joined at the hip as parents united for truth in Journalistic facts, they will soon get the message through their ratings.
However, hard copy instead of opinion should be the order for current events and if they have to come off the internet public waves, should't we have a say about it. These hate sites aren't scary to black folk, we been there and done that.
But to ensure a more peaceful conversation from the LimpBuckets and Mannie Cauldron's, we have to have valid news sites to blog about. Maybe we could have it included according to internet membership like C-span does with the cable networks.
Or we may have a 10 cent a click or site fee. The papers have to have some sort of pay fee to continue to launch accurate journalism. The right has worked long and hard to buy the media, they won't give it up, nor will they deliver "fair and balanced" So to make up on an even keele, we need more progressive sites of the left that make sense and don't promote hate, just facts and links to them.
Truth will set US free.
Americans that's who WE be.

We do
And every chance we get, we spread the hypocracy of the party. We just wait for them to speak, then find the rebuttal in their own words when they vote against what their telling their people they are for.
Either way, the "Rosey the Riveters" of America, aren't falling for it. Rosey is having a hard time staying afloat in the Reslug pool of greed and was going down for the third time, when Obama threw her a liferaft with rations, until the recession is over.
Feed me and I'll vote for you. I've lost over 50 unneccessary pounds. One more term of Republicans would have made this grandma, look like a crack patient.
We used to be able to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, when we were on the campaign blogs, now they have f'd up the peanut butter with deregulation of safety in the factory.
Is butter safe? Anyone, is it being shipped in when we have our own cows to make it.
Let's replace the jobs the greedy corporations took overseas and give them the same finger they gave US.
