Rush challenges Obama to a debate

  1. Right, to have gone from Wm. F. Buckley as the patron saint of conservatism to Limbaugh surely crosses the moving average to the downside.

  2. So does Rahl doesn't he.

  3. Judging by your posts, you have slowed down considerably since then. Perhaps a name change to something more suitable for the times would be in order? Slug comes to mind...

  4. I would expect a pseudo-intellectual like you to exhibit more mature behavior. Why are you so unhappy? Why are you such a hater? :confused:

  5. Exactly!

    The GOP is a paper tiger.

    I can't stand the Democratic Party, so don't get me wrong.

    The facts are that Obama has connected with people, is a fantastic debater with a sharp mind (if GOPers want to deny this, then what does that make McCain, who was trounced by Obama?), and the Democrats are the only ones offering the American People a plan, as flawed as it may be (and it is woefully flawed).

    I'm talking tactics and perception, not right or wrong...

  6. You bring out the best in me. You make me a better person.

  8. It's a yin-yang thing.

  9. Hey, whatever you need to get completed is fine by me.

  10. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Buckley for his form and not his content.
    He embodied a bygone era when people had no reservations about using the language eloquently and wedded logic with it; even if it was flawed. He once said to Ronald Reagan in a debate about giving back the Panama canal, "I would like to take you seriously but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence." How much more clever was that then a vapid, "there you go again." Seems how the GOP message has been incrementaly dumbed down in prevailing years has lent to its demise or even reveals its behind the times underpinnings. The future has to evolve beyond the past at the edges.
