A Fringe Party

How can you wish that the person running the country, (the president), will fail? Who would hope that the leader of our country, a country in one of the worst economic down turn in its history, would fail to turn it around? Is there really a person that would relish in the suffering of millions of Americans for the sake of politics? Yes. Radio personality and apparent leader of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, said he is hoping that President Obama will fail in his efforts to change the direction of the America.

I didn't agree with many of George W. Bush's decisions as president but that's a long way from wanting him to fail. If he fails it effects all of us. That bit of common sense was also shared by a Republican congressman in regards to President Obama's policies. He didn't agree with the methods but he hoped that the President would be successful. Asked if he would say Rush Limbaugh was wrong in his view point and the congressman danced like he was in the Soul Train "grove line."

Why are they so scared to speak truth to this demagogue? This is not only Representatives in conservative districts that won't speak up but apparently all Republicans including the newly elected Chairman of the GOP, Michael Steel. He, (Steel), made the mistake of criticizing Rush. Calling him a entertainer only to apologize profusely a few days later. Rush responded, "Steel is not the head of the GOP."

I asked again, why do they allow this entertainer with fringe appeal to represent their party? Is that the Republican party today? A fringe party?
