I have seen a lot of discussion on this very question over the past few weeks. I think it\u2019s an idiotic discussion but it is there nonetheless.<\/p>\n
Michael Medved (the only human being further up McCain\u2019s ass than Lindsey Graham) thinks that we should all be on our knees praying for Obama to be successful.<\/p>\n
Rush Limbaugh takes an entirely different view and hopes that Obama fails miserably based on what Rush thinks he wants to do.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s analyze these two learned positions shall we?<\/p>\n
Medved is an old time law school, Jewish liberal who is far more armed to do his movie review stuff than political commentary. In fact, he was very involved in far left, liberal politics until he met with President Gerald Ford\u2019s Chief of Staff who somehow did some kind of mind meld and turned him into a Republican. Who could have such powers? Oh yeah, Ford\u2019s Chief of Staff was no less than Dick Cheney. <\/p>\n
The truth is that Medved is not a conservative, he is a Republican and a squishy-moderate at that. Think Lincoln Chaffee with a radio show.<\/p>\n
His position is dead-assed wrong! More to follow on that momentarily.<\/p>\n
Rush is a true black and white idealogue. I believe that Rush is a true conservative but he is woefully uneducated and that is of his own accord; he had every opportunity and chose not to pursue it. Though he is the son of a lawyer, his brother David is a lawyer, he has an uncle on the federal bench and a cousin on the Missouri Supreme Court; Rush has a high school diploma and sometimes it shows.<\/p>\n
By the way, both Medved and Limbaugh avoided the draft during Vietnam. Medved through college deferments and Rush through some kind of cist on his ass.<\/p>\n
I have a lot of respect for Limbaugh, not so much for Medved but that’s not the issue.<\/p>\n
Both of their positions are wrong and wrong for reasons worth discussing here. Both of their positions are based on the hope for successor failure of an individual not an ideology. That is an intellectually lazy and reasonably stupid position to start from.<\/p>\n
I voted for President Bush twice but I never wished him 100% success because I knew that I would disagree with him often. I disagreed with McCain-Feingold which Bush signed into law. I disagreed with the Medicare drug benefit program and had Bush been 100% successful the open borders law would have passed.<\/p>\n
Bush was, from my view, far better than Gore or Kerry but also far from an infallible figure that I was prepared to blindly follow.<\/p>\n
The point is that we should be wishing for and working for a better country and not let that goal be nuanced by personality politics.<\/p>\n
I wish no ill will on President Obama but don\u2019t give a damn about his personal agenda. <\/p>\n
I only wish the best for this nation that so many us of have shed blood for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
