        Limbaugh has been repeating the same few things day-after-day all these years on his radio show. Wow, what a worthless life he has led.

      George W. Bush and his rubber stamp Congress (2001-2006) are all liberals? Really, Rush?

      Got a degree in economics, huh? Did you get it from a school you found on a matchbook cover?

        He probably got it from the same place Beck did. The university of "I don't remember."

      Yes, just look at how masterful the Anointed One Obama is managing the economy so far. He must make Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter proud. I saw a clip of Chris Mathews over the weekend call Obama, Carter. I know they are one and the same.

        Everybody has a purpose in life, SeaSection. Rush' purpose is to make lots of money so that he can eat and get fat enough to hold down Florida during hurricane season. Yours is to come here and be insulted. I for one just want to let you know how much I appreciate that you give your all for your purpose.

      He's finally right.

      lib-er-al: not strict or rigorous; free; not literal: a liberal interpretation of a rule.

      Liberal interpretation of bank investment regulations, liberal real estate appraisals, liberal use of mortgage backed securities, liberal doses of enthusiasm and optimism, liberal mortgage qualifications, liberal distribution of executive bonuses... All contributed to the economic crisis, all with one shared idea: A more liberal financial business atmoshpere.
