what a winner, i should just give him my milkshake

What a mitwit.

oh romney... at this point, it's not even funny anymore. You're not only an embarassment for the republican party, you're an embarassment for americans in general, and humans as a whole.

Take it away, Rush:

"A lot of people have been saying this kind of thing. It's been one of the raging debates about where we are as a country, and have we lost the country. That's what this is all about. So went back, I went back to the news archives. And look what I have here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. This is USA Today, April 26th, 2011. Headline: "Americans Depend More on Federal Aid Than Ever." It's not Romney saying it. Ha-ha. It's USA Today, shazam. It's the Drive-By Media saying it.

"Americans depended more on government assistance in 2010 than at any other time in the nation's history." Exactly right. It's why Obama has to be stopped. It's not what this country is, as Obama said his convention, "It's not who we are." This is not who we are. Forty-seven percent of this country's population is helplessly dependent on the government because of policies created by Barack Obama and the Democrat Party year after year after year. Why are they dependent? Nobody's saying that all 47% of 'em are slackers. Nobody's saying that all 47% of 'em are losers. A lot of them are victims of Obamaism, of the Democrat Party. They're victims of liberalism. They're victims of an economy that does not grow. They're victims of an economy that shrinks. They are victims of an economy where there are fewer jobs and where there's less income to be earned. They are victims of failed Democrat Party policy after policy after policy."

Look I'm not fan of either party, in fact I hate politics in general... but this one-sided rhetoric doesn't help anyone... The headline reads that in 2010 Americans depended more on government assistance than ever", then it gets subtlety tweaked into "47% of the country is helplessly dependent on the government" Really?? 47% helplessly dependent??! Nice little shift there... And Obamaism? wtf does that even mean? So they really believe that before Obama took office everything was great then one year later it had all turned to shit?

Again, I don't care for Obama or any politician's for that matter, but do you not see how this kind of divisive rhetoric will only drive people further apart then they already are? What's the endgame, a civil war between the 'right' and the 'left'? I just don't get what people like Rush actually want other than the total annihilation of the left. Isn't democracy supposed to be about working together (even with opposing views) for the good of the people? Or am I wrong about that?

It's so easy for people who have received endless opportunity after opportunity to confuse the difference between somebody who turns down all of their opportunities in return for a cheap handout; and somebody who lacks opportunities.

To some people - ignorant and stupid people - the entire concept that opportunity may be a hard thing to come by, is not even considered.

They may even be ignorant enough to ask "I took my opportunities; why can't they?". And even in asking the question; when the answer is obvious, they are too stupid to recognise it.

A requirement of being a good leader of a country is to invest, above all else, in creating opportunity for its people. A person who does not even recognise this as a goal, and does not even recognise a lack of opportunity as a problem, does not qualify to be a president.

It's a label. They save talkers from having to define what they're saying, and listeners from having to think about what they're hearing.

It's one technique in the artistry of bullshit.



QM uses them a lot.

i had a great day today and reading these comments made it better. excellent rebuttal to miss mushroom above
