Do Limbaugh and his fellow psychos really want McCain to lose?

[Cyrano]

In my opinion, yes.

There's no doubt that if Obama or Hillary wins, we're going to pick up many seats in the House and Senate. (And there's the possibility this will still happen even if McCain wins.)

Limbaugh, et al. are actually looking four years down the road. They love the American fascism of St. Ronnie and Bush II. And their best hope for seeing it continued is a Dem Prez that they can spend the next four years pounding into the mud.

The wingnuts of the world aren't politically stupid. If they can produce a winner four years from now, along with a new Republican majority in the House and Senate, they can clearly claim, "Mission Accomplished."

We are looking only at this coming election. The American fascists are looking at what comes next.

1. No. It's all b-s. They need the veto power and power to appoint judges.

2. and a Dem president will be good for ratings

Rush gained his fame bashing the last Dem occupant of the whitehouse; entire networks and industries sprung to life for that sole purpose as well.

All those right-wingers who can no longer praise Bush will be ready to tune in for a daily dose of bashing Clinton or Obama

[Hamlette]

4. it is good for their ratings now. Rush is drawing in those who supported Romney et al

right now. He'll stop and start bashing our candidate as more people find McCain acceptable because they won't want to listen to him bash McCain anymore once they have accepted him.

10. As you see here, they clearly have some agenda...

I think not only do they want big ratings (which of COURSE they'll get with a dem in the White House), but they also want to pin the downstream negative effects of the Bush Administration on a Dem president.

As the clip above says, we can only hope the media doesn't go along...

3. Limbaugh and his followers seem to have some major problems with the non-whites in this country.

Now McCain is every bit as bat shit crazy as they are, but not on this one issue. These folks are so intolerant and narrow minded, that McCains one difference with them drives them off the ledge.

5. Remember...

Limpbaugh is a business man. His rating and numbers were higher when the GOP was in the minority.

I dont for a second think he, Ann Coulter, Mike Savage, or any of the other Neo-ConNazi media actually believe the garbage they spout. They're just greedy and know what it takes to bring the sheep in for the slaughter.

[gaspee]

6. I believe they do

so that they can blame the D that wins for the trouble we're about to have.

The next few years are gonna be rough and they're going to do their damnedest to blame it on the dems.

They know GWB has fucked us over and he's juggling the ecomonmy and war balls just trying to make it to next year. Fake "relief" and his "surge" are just to get him through his last day in office before the house of cards comes falling down.

When it does, we're in for a world of hurt and they can't wait to blame it on Obama or Clinton. They're salivating over it, picturing their ratings and their bank accounts.

Republicans love to gloat about the suffering of others while they prosper.

[Donnachaidh]

7. of course they do

They want 4 years of fodder, with either a woman or a black president. They EXPECT that to build their dropping numbers. They expect a SURGE in their numbers.

And if you don't think that will happen, I've got a bridge that is just right for you. :sarcasm:

[theredpen]

8. "The wingnuts of the world aren't politically stupid."

Spend some time on Free Republic. The wingnuts supported Duncan Hunter, then Fred Thompson and finally (begrudgingly) Mitt Romney.

If these people really galvanize and come back four years from now with another candidate like these, our candidate won't even have to campaign to win.

[Yavin4]

9. They Really Do Not Want McCain and Here's Why

They would either have to defend him religiously or risk losing support of the Republican establishment. This is the conservative crack up that we keep hearing about. The middle and working class White male conservative that forms the core of Rush's listening base has little or nothing in common with the rich and powerful elite that control the Republican party.

The power elite of the Republican party wants more temporary foreign workers in order to drive down labor costs even further, and this is what McCain wants as well. Rush, Coutler, Laura Ingram, Hannity, Savage, et al. cannot sell this to their listeners and keep an audience.

11. All the right wing talking asses

are having wet dreams hoping for another Clinton presidency. For them it has to be Hillary. Their shit is in the wind if Obama is elected. Can't pick on the Negro President. Of course they want McCain to lose. He will be bad for business. Can we please sweep out Reid and Pelosi with the rest of the rubbish?

[earthside]

12. Slimebaugh is a Greedy Pig.

You know is absolutely salivating over the prospect of another Clinton(s) presidency.

[Horse with no Name]

13. No. They want to put out the feelers that the republican party is in despair

And then unite them to be stronger.
