Hoping for the worst

[ihopehefails]

Maggie, et al

Good post and very true, the same happened when Clinton won. That marked the start of it as the conservative media machine and years of corporate support for think tanks and editorial opinion has clouded the minds of many republicans and conservatives. Foes make some comfortable, gives them reason for living.

I don't remember it happening before Clinton and Bush Jr, while mediocre and a bit lost at first had things easy too. Bush criticisms didn't start till he squandered the surplus and invaded the wrong nation. Katrina didn't help either. Contrast with Haiti under the Obama administration.

It is change and the loss of power that get so republicans and conservatives up in arms. Clinton tried healthcare and gay acceptance in the military and the wingnuts went nuts. It is a difficult phenomenon to understand or even outline. I was talking to some friends just today who wondered how the right became so unreasonable. I don't know.

These are interesting and explain a bit. It could just be human nature rebels against things that don't fit their world view and reason has no place here. Hirschman even picks on we perfect people. LOL

It seems to me that anyone that criticizes you is either a wingnut or wrong. Get over it. Its part of a debate.

Grow up and stop crying how unfair it is when someone criticizes you.

jesus h christ fails, will you ever get your head out of your ass, it's called politics, so you simple fuckers got out Roved, what's your fucking problem hypocrite

Thats rich! After you guys spent eight years basing you strategy on how bad things were and using it to get into power you go around and claim the other side is doing it to you.

BTW, is things getting better? And have we had a terrorist attack? Yes and Yes so that means that Obama sucks and you know it.

really, nutbar? is that why everyone threw their support behind baby bush after 9.11? or did he have a 90% approval rating b/c the big bad liberals were pretending to hope for him to succeed?

stop projecting

I th most liberals couldn't stand how well the economy was doing up until 07 and exagerated every little thing in order to get into power because why would you change the person in office if there is nothing wrong.

BTW, I am hoping that Obama fails. I don't give a rats ass about him and his agenda but if he would just change his tune to a POLICY that I would like then I would change my mind but in the meantime I will keep hoping that he not only fails but accidently dies in office.

You hope he dies in office? You don't know jack shit about his policies; nor have any understanding of Western Philosophy, world or American history or current events. You exceed what I call willful ignorance and you disgust me! Your opinions are wothless for the words you post have the same substance as that of a parrot in a cage - yes, you appear to be that dumb.
The sad, and scary thing is, you're not alone. America won't fall because some assholes fly a few planes into buildings, or bomb an aircraft and kill a couple of hundred people, America will fall because stupid people like you hold opinions based on hate and fear and will sell the rights so many have died for for a little bit of security.

If you're willing to admit you hope he drops dead in office in public, I can only imagine how you feel in private. Want to hang him from the tree yourself asshole?

I want Obama to survive presidency. Indeed, I want him to come through with good health. I want him to help our economy. If he does that, I'll probably vote for him, though I don't expect either via his policies.

I don't want the US gov't to control banks, health care, auto industry, coal mines, etc. I want all those in private hands. I know the Europeans want and are comfortable with that, just don't think it's right for America. We're sort of contrarians, we want to say what we want, from government and/or employers. We're also comfortable saying that there are limits for both. We'll call those limits. Bottom line, governement/laws are coming from the people.

Yet others have and yet you choose the weakest links. Over and over again.

Bush evil? Stubborn, incompetent and not very bright sure, but I don't believe he was evil. Republicans evil? Nope, not as a class, some are, but so are some Democrats.
Even some on the far right are not evil, but too many are.
Consider: liberals (generally) believe in the golden rule; conservatives (generally) believe gold rules.
