One might have hoped that with a new President, a Democratic Congress, and the Republican inspired financial meltdown that put Democrats in power that the Republicans would have learned something. Doesn't appear to be the case, at least not if you listened to Rush Limbaugh, the self appointed leader of the Conservative wing of the Republican Party (translation: what's left of The Republican Party).
Speaking at the National Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, Limbaugh who previously stated he wanted the President to fail, which sort of implies that the rest of us will go down with the ship too, railed at Democrats, Liberals and the remaining moderates in the Republican Party (all two of them, there used to be three but I left in November) about how the country was going to go to hell in a handbasket with the President's economic policies. His message seems to be that Conservatism failed only because it wasn't conservative enough. Translation: the cure for poisoning is stronger poison and more of it.
Considering that for six of the past eight years the Conservative Republican Party had the Presidency, the Supreme Court that elected him, both houses of Congress and most of the governorships and state houses and have managed to just about duplicate 1929 all over again, pardon me for being skeptical.
I can't tell you that what the President is going to try and do will work, but I can tell you what hasn't worked and what got us in this mess to begin with and if he should meet Mr. Libaugh's hopes and expectations and fail because the hole was too deep to begin with, Limbaugh's solution will be in 2012 to turn the government back over to the clowns that dug the first crater because they know how to dig better holes?
