"I Want OBAMA to FAIL !" : RUSH LIMBAUGH | CPAC Convention 2009

The conservative radio star says Democrats wanted GEORGE BUSH to fail. * * * * * ---- [ FEB 28 2009 ]

(CNN) - Rush Limbaugh brought a cheering crowd to its feet several times Saturday in Washington as he called on fellow conservatives to take back the country in the keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

"We conservatives have not done a good enough job of just laying out basically who we are because we make the mistake of assuming that people know. What they know is largely incorrect, based on the way we're portrayed in pop culture, in the drive-by media, by the Democrat party," the conservative talk show host told a mostly-young crowd of energized supporters.

"We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independent. We believe that the preamble of the Constitution contains an inarguable truth, that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom. And the pursuit of happiness," he said, pausing several times for enthusiastic applause.

Looking ahead to the 2012 election, Limbaugh said conservatives will have to choose the right candidate to take the country back.

Limbaugh's impassioned remarks, punctuated by chest-thumping, fist-pumping and chants of "USA" from the crowd, capped off three days of talk at CPAC focusing on rebuilding the Republican Party.

"He played to his crowd here," CNN Political Editor Mark Preston said. "And this crowd is now energized, something we haven't seen from Republicans, certainly not conservatives, since the November election."

Limbaugh used his self-described "first national address," which ran more than hour longer than his allotted 20 minutes, to criticize President Barack Obama for inspiring fear in Americans in order to push a liberal agenda of "big government."

"He wants people in fear, angst and crisis, fearing the worst each and every day because that clears the decks for President Obama and his pals to come in with the answers which are abject failures, historically shown and demonstrated. Doesn't matter. They'll have control of it when it's all over. And that's what they want," Limbaugh said.

"They see these inequalities, these inequities that capitalism produces. How do they try to fix it? Do they try to elevate those at the bottom? No, they try to tear down the people at the top. "

Limbaugh praised Obama as one of the most gifted politicians he has seen, but said, "It just breaks my heart that he does not use these extraordinary talents and gifts to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be. He's doing just the opposite."

Limbaugh also dismissed the notion of bipartianship as a "false premise" given the diverging views of the Democrat and Republican parties on a variety issues, among them, the recent $787 stimulus package signed by Obama.

"Bipartisanship occurs only after one other result. And that is victory," he said.

"What they mean is we check our core principles at the door, come in, let them run the show, and then agree with them," he said.

How can anyone listen to this fat sorry bag of yesterday’s shit? He is an evil prick and should croak! But what to do with the corpse? You can’t dig a big enough hole, and if you try to cremate him, the combination of gas, oxycontin, and oil would blow up the oven. Just roll him onto a beach and leave him to rot with the other beached whales.

why hasnt oxycontins and obesity killed this moron yet

[BeingNobody1956]

disagreeing with someones policies is not "hoping that they fail". once again Rush lies and misrepresents the facts. he openly says he wants the President to fail. you can call Rush on these kinds of lies everyday of the week and be consistent. the only thing he shows any degree of integrity in is drug use and buying dominican hookers.

OK, that "anyone" would include 80% of the democrats in congress who had umteen petty hearings against Bush, his attorney generals (Ashcroft and Gonzales), secretary of defense (Rumsfeld), chairman of the joint chiefs of staff (Honorable Peter Pace), etc. I think they literally lusted for failure. Your statement about "traitors" really hits the nail on the head and wipes out much of congress. Thank you!

Somebody, dunk Rush in a cauldron of boiling oil please. Then we can feast on fresh pork rinds.

[TANNERGRN]
