Why is it the right wing always puts party interests before the interests of the country, apart from Ron Paul that party has no moral standings whatsoever, i hope they die out.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got a request here from a major American print publication. "Dear Rush: For the Obama [Immaculate] Inauguration we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency. We would love to include you. If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night, that would be ideal." Now, we're caught in this trap again. The premise is, what is your "hope." My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, "Well, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance." Why? They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I'm not talking about search-and-destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed.
If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails." (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, "Oh, you can't do that." Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: "Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails." Somebody's gotta say it.
Were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we have to play the game by their rules? Why do we have to accept the premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency, that we want him to succeed? This is affirmative action, if we do that. We want to promote failure, we want to promote incompetence, we want to stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color of his skin? Sorry. I got past the historical nature of this months ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man standing.
I'm happy to be the last man standing. I'm honored to be the last man standing. Yeah, I'm the true maverick. I can do more than four words. I could say I hope he fails and I could do a brief explanation of why. You know, I want to win. If my party doesn't, I do. If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I'm now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts. I'm serious about this. Why in the world, it's what Ann Coulter was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these victims here, we gotta make sure the victims are finally assuaged. Well, the dirty little secret is this isn't going to assuage anybody's victim status, and the race industry isn't going to go away, and the fact that America's original sin of slavery is going to be absolved, it's not going to happen. Just isn't, folks. It's too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country into groups that are against each other. Yes, I'm fired up about this.
Reasons number 249 and 50 why I'm not a Republican. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has been chosen to introduce Vice-President-elect Biden at a bipartisan dinner in Washington on the eve of the immaculation. Biden was one of Hagel's closest friends in the Senate. "Bipartisan dinners also held that night honoring McCain and Colin Powell. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will introduce McCain at a dinner." So all these Republicans are being honored on the night before Obama is immaculately inaugurated, as though they're part of the Obama administration. Our presidential candidate is being honored. I can understand liberals honoring their losers, but I just -- (tearing up story)
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Ron Brownstein, National Journal, used to be the Los Angeles Times, on PMSNBC this afternoon with Andrea Mitc , NBC News, Washington, she said, "Ronald Brownstein, you've written about the blue wall and the politics of this, what Democrats have been able to achieve in the last election. Obama is right there in Ohio, which is one of the critical states."
BROWNSTEIN: Democrats have now won, Andrea, 18 states for at least the last five elections consecutively, plus the District of Columbia, 248 Electoral College votes. They haven't won that many states over that long a period since Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. They also now hold, if Franken maintains his lead, 33 of the 36 Senate seats in those 18 states, over two-thirds of the House seats, two-thirds of the governorships. They have built their strongest Electoral College base since the days of Roosevelt and Truman, and that is an important foundation for Obama. It's going to be very difficult for Republicans, I think, to systematically challenge Obama and the Democrats over time if this much of the country is virtually off-limits for them.
RUSH: The Democrats own the country. There's nothing anybody can do to stop it. We should just lay down and accept it.

Pretty ballsy of Rush. And incredibly stupid.
Why is it the right wing always puts party interests before the interests of the country, apart from Ron Paul that party has no moral standings whatsoever, i hope they die out.
They never gave Bush a chance!! They NEVER gave Bush a chance!!!
Hilarious, since Rush and his ilk spent the late Fall of 1992 essentially calling for Clinton's impeachment, before Clinton ever assumed office.
Why does Rush hate America?
I hope it all fails so people finally begin doing things the right way and we can go on from there.
I was listening when he said this... what else do you expect from him?
he's a blubbering idiot who gives us all a lesson as to what true propaganda sounds like.
that's about it.
Big government will do a bunch of things...and they, along with your media, will tell you it is working.
But it will just be more temporary bull band-aids where the only ones making money are your government officials and their goons. And then when the hits the fan, it'll just hit harder.
Big whoop.
Yes, because Bush's policies did so much to help our economic affairs. I'd rather have a band-aid than a hatchet to the knees.
To hope for Obama's failure is not the same things as hoping for the failure of America. Hoping for Obama's failure can mean more than one thing.
I hope Obama succeeds at being a good president because that would be good for the country--but that means something specific to me, and I doubt most Obama supporters would agree with me as to what cons utes a good president.
So, yes, if Obama plans on implementing policies I disagree with, then I hope he fails at that. I think some conservatives perversely hope Obama fails by ing the country up because that will give the GOP an opportunity to win some seats in 2010. That's just stupid. I just want him to encounter voter dissatisfaction and lose elections if he pursues a left-wing agenda.
Put simply, I hope he governs as I would govern, and I wish him the best. If he governs as a left-wing ideologue, then I hope he loses reelection and the GOP gains seats in 2010. What's wrong with that?
great to see that the libs are still paying attention to the man.

"I told you so" > greater than the expansion and growth of our country as a whole
I don't want Obama to fail, but deep down I do. I want this country to see how worthless most of our representatives in government really are. And how they do not really care about the people.
So if he does succeed it will convey a message that government representatives do care about the people. Which way do you want it? Do you want him to fail in bringing back America just to selfishly prove that you were right or do you want him to succeed and youll have to be man enough to admit that maybe you were wrong?
You stay classy, San Diego.
I never thought it was possible for butts to hurt this badly. Do you guys have to sit on those inflatable donut things?
Rush is just in allot of pain since his prescription ran out.
lets just hope he can run the country better than mugabe
Hey, the guy deserves a shot.
I don't believe it. You lib s read the transcript and don't understand it?
Rush wants him to fail because he does not want Obama campaign promises to become reality!
You should really read it with those liberal blinders off. There's more. I'm just so ing tired of pointing out the obvious to lib s.I got past the historical nature of this months ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails."
I remember when Wild Cobra first started posting.
He went from pretending to be a moderate to slowly pretending to be an independent thinker that was *appalled* by how stupid some liberal posters could be "sometimes" to a hardliner somewhere to the right of Yoni.
I guess now he's just a ing redneck with a confederate flag avatar and a bull sense of logic. Hooray.
You know who I miss?
Gtown. He was always entertaining.
If that's what you believe, so what. It just goes to show you cannot teach lib s anything. I have repeatedly, in the past, let my thoughts known about the civil war and states rights. You, however, see me as a redneck.
You prejudiced asshole!
State rights... you are an idiot. I wipe my butt with the Confederate Flag on occasion.
I agree. For the sake of our country, I hope he does a good job. At the same time, I hope he fails to implement any of the Marxist policies he holds dear.
This isn't going to be some socialist power-grab intended to make-over the US into some form of communist dictatorship.
No grown-up really thinks that, but that kind of thing resonates with the drones who comprise Rush's audience.
Life will go on, and we have some problems to deal with. If pouty radio talk show hosts want to throw temper-tantrums, that is their perogative.
The rest of us have to get to work.
