Rush Runs The Right: Jindal Edition

Bobby Jindal joins his fellow Republicans in defense of Leader Limbaugh’s edict that they want the President to fail in his leadership of the country. I’m glad he cleared that up.

Dem response:

“We understand that Governor Jindal has had some problems with public speaking lately, but turning to Rush Limbaugh to be your new speechwriter doesn’t help. What we know has failed is the reflexive partisan politics of the past that Rush Limbaugh and his Republican party continue to be mired in. Rather than rooting for failure, we urge the Republican party to play a constructive role in moving the country forward and offer a budget proposal,” said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

    The cognative dissonance required to come up with such a statement is off the charts.

    How so, Farris? ‘Splain please.

    Looks fine on mine.

    Why wouldn’t Republicans like Limbaugh and Jindal want Obama to fail in his policies?
    Do the Dallas Cowboys want the Wash. Redskins to score on them on every possession? No! They want them to fumble.
    Does UNC want Duke to score every time they bring the ball down? No! They want them to turn it over.
    You Libs are sounding sillier and sillier.

    Kind of a minimalist vibe going on.

    Why wouldn’t Republicans like Limbaugh and Jindal want Obama to fail in his policies?

    If Obama’s policies fail, the country fails.

    Why do you hate America?

  9. Do the Dallas Cowboys want the Wash. Redskins to score on them on every possession? No! They want them to fumble.
    If the Redskins fumble the free world doesn’t crumble. This is not a game. Jesus.

  10. Enlightened Liberal says:

    Wow, joaquin is an idiot. The fundamental difference is that Rush and Jindal are supposed to be on the same side, the pro-America side. But obviously, they are of the hate America first crowd.

  11. Enlightened Liberal says:

    The same side as Obama, of course.

    The crass ignorance and blind hatred required to come up with ideas like these is beyond staggering. It worries me greatly that around 1 in 5 of my countrymen are this demonstrably stupid.

    I think that it’s a safe bet that neither the Cowboys nor the Redskins wants the National Football League to fail.

  14. william says:

    Obama already failed…to the tune of $9 TRILLION dollars.

    It’s an analogy, ladies!
    Next time bring your fainting couches with you along with little hand-held fans. Poor darlings.

    As usual, a piss-poor one.

    I think I speak foe everyone when I say fuck off.

    So much so that the Cowboys and the Redskins use their profits to support other teams in the NFL.

    Though the fact that joaquin thinks that political policymaking is akin to a game put on for our entertainment and the need to fans to cheer for “their side” is very telling.

  18. Duros62 says:

    Shorter Democratic response to Jindal: What a tool.

  19. joaquin says:

    Hankies and salts for the ladies???

    Please allow me a deeply heartfelt apology.
    I shouldn’t have used the sports of football and college basketball around here.
    I should have more appropriately used croquet and ice dancing.

  20. Duros62 says:

    “Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, ‘Why no sir, I don’t want the president to fail,’ is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism,” Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. “This is political correctness run amok.”

    How doe sit feel, Bobby? Not so nice, huh? Yeah, many of us felt the same way for the last eight years.

    Oliver, FWIW, the new site template seems to me to be harder to read, less easy on the eyes.

    Oh no you don’t, Duros. You don’t speak for me. I don’t want joaquin to fuck off.

    I want him to go piss up a rope.

    joaquin says: “Why wouldn’t Republicans like Limbaugh and Jindal want Obama to fail in his policies?
    Do the Dallas Cowboys want the Wash. Redskins to score on them on every possession? No! They want them to fumble.”

    It would be like wanting all the other teams to fail. Not fumble, but fail. Go out of business.

    No opponents = No NFL.

    After losing in 2008, the Republicans have to hope Obama does well, or the entire country will suffer.

    ‘We don’t agree with Obama’s political strategy, and we have an alternative, but we hope for the sake of the country that it works.’

  24. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    “It’s an analogy, ladies!

    Nice outburst of sexism.

    You came up with a terrible analogy. Don’t blame us when it is ripped apart.

    To each his own, I guess.

  26. Haplo9 says:

    Heh, more phony outrage from you guys. Have you figured out some rhetorical magic that allows you to claim that all this is somehow different than what you wanted for Bush?

  27. Quaker in a Basement says:

    what you wanted for Bush

    I’m getting old and my memory isn’t what it used to be, Haps. What was it we “wanted for Bush”?

  28. Jaim says:

    Obama has aligned himself with the economic recovery of America. This was intentional. It’s a feature, not a bug.

    You cannot hope Obama’s recovery package fails, but at the same time hope America recovers _quickly_.

    Republicans have been played yet again. And they still haven’t realized it yet.

    Dems like me didn’t want Bush to fail. We simply pointed out, over and over, that invading and occupying a Shia-majority state next to a fellow Shia-majority state like Iran was a bad idea. A very bad idea.

    Here’s the difference — hoping Obama fails is hoping America fails. Pointing out that Bush II was a raging fuckwit was _good_ for America, since it was stating the truth. He ruined the economy and the military, and if he’d had free reign he would have made things even worse.

  29. Haplo9 says:

    >I’m getting old and my memory isn’t what it used to be, Haps. What was it we “wanted for Bush”?

    Use your imagination Quakes. I’m sure you can think of something. It has to do with your guys pathetic hand waving claims that wanting the president to fail at policies you think will hurt the country is somehow a new thing.

    >Dems like me didn’t want Bush to fail. We simply pointed out, over and over, that invading and occupying a Shia-majority state next to a fellow Shia-majority state like Iran was a bad idea. A very bad idea.

    Who said this had anything to do with the war? Though I think a good portion of the left wanted Bush to fail in Iraq, let’s use a more pertinent example. When Bush tried to reform Social Security, would you say you wanted him to fail in that attempt? How about the left in general? Of course you wanted him to fail, because you thought that the reform attempt would make the country worse off. Not only is that a “duh” statement, it’s also unremarkable. When a leader does something that you think will make the country worse off, you don’t want him to succeed. Thus, you wanted him to fail. Why are you even trying to push this song and dance nonsense?

    >Here’s the difference — hoping Obama fails is hoping America fails.

    Um, no. If you think that Obama’s success at certain policies will make the country worse off, then hoping Obama fails is hoping America is better off. This is very simple, and you guys are only contesting it because you want to claim that this opposition to Obama is somehow special and unusual.

    >Pointing out that Bush II was a raging fuckwit was _good_ for America, since it was stating the truth.

    *groan* Here I’ll fix your sentence, maybe it will explain its stupidity:

    Pointing out that Obama is completely out of his league regarding economic issues is _good_ for America, since it is stating the truth.

    You wouldn’t agree with that, so why would you think your statement of opinion counts as “truth” more than mine?

    And does anybody know what level Dungeon Master Jindal is?

  31. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    Quaker: “I’m getting old and my memory isn’t what it used to be, Haps. What was it we “wanted for Bush”?”

    Haplo9: “Use your imagination Quakes. I’m sure you can think of something.”

    Translation: Haplo has nothing.

  32. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    Jaim says: “And does anybody know what level Dungeon Master Jindal is?”

    You don’t level as a Dungeon Master, Jaim. The DM controls the game for the other players.

    … Oh damn. I just fell into the geek trap, didn’t I?

  33. Haplo9 says:

    >Translation: Haplo has nothing.

    Reading comprehension SSS. Still lacking I see. You didn’t mention your signature though! Are you ok?

  34. Quaker in a Basement says:

    No, Haps, I think Mr. Strowbridge has summed it up nicely. You apparently would like to equate Rush’s ill wishes for Mr. Obama’s agenda with…something…but you can’t quite come up with anything.

    So nothin’ is what you got.

  35. Duros62 says:

    It has to do with your guys pathetic hand waving claims that wanting the president to fail at policies you think will hurt the country is somehow a new thing.

    Said it before and I’ll say it again. I never wanted bush to fail. He did it all on his own.

  36. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    Me: “Translation: Haplo has nothing.”

    Haplo9: “Reading comprehension SSS. Still lacking I see. You didn’t mention your signature though! Are you ok?”

    Every time I hear you guys complain about me bringing up the Southern Strategy, do you know what I hear?

    ‘Wahhhhhhh!’

    You are a bunch of fucking babies. You are a bunch of fucking babies that are either ashamed of the systemic racism in your party, or proud of it. I don’t know which, and I don’t really care.

    I do know the racism inherent in the GOP is killing the party, and as long as you attack those who point this out instead of fixing the problem, the GOP will fall further and further into irrelevance.
