Are Liberal Democrats really to blame for the problems in the US?

Question

Rush Limbaugh said that they use proven failed policies. Is it true?

Answer 1

The republicans blame the democrats and the democrats blame the republicans. You cant really blame one party though. The problems we have been having have been under a democratic congress, but a republican president so both are to blame.

Answer 2

1 - Most of them but not all of them.

2 - Yes, demonstrably so. Just look at Europe - the "nirvana" aspired to by all leftwing nutjobs.

Answer 3

They're not to blame for everything, but there are things that I can point to that are their fault.

The current high fuel prices are the direct product of 30 years of liberals prohibiting the production of new sources of oil/hydro/nuclear.

I would also ask, since President Johnson (D) declared war on poverty in 1965, why hasn't poverty gone away?  Why is it actually worse?

As to Rush, he is right in that their suggestions for economic improvement are things that have been shown time and again to actually hurt the economy, yet they keep trying, thinking they'll get a different result.

Answer 4

You can answer that one yourself. What problems have they solved?

Maybe they didn't cause them, but they haven't done anything to fix them either.   They are more interested in reaping a political gain, by letting everything go to h*##, and blaming the other side for it.  

The hypocrisy of it all is that after the election, if they win, they will still have to do all these things to help the economy, that they are voting down now.  It's simple economics, everyone knows what has to be done. Trying to politicize it only makes things worse.

We the people are not their priority right now.

Answer 5

Oh, I believe that's why we have a Republican disaster that just keeps getting worse and worse. O-tay.

Democrats do better with the economy.

Wasn't it Reagan that started the war on drugs? Hah! Enough said.

Answer 6

Blame is used to distract ,deflect from the NEED to analyze a problem,verify the data submitted and whether the source of the "input/recommendation" has any investments and /or other potential benefits (i.e. a "contribution to their personal war chest for their assistance (=contract/ grant/ recommendations).

...Congress has devolved into a dysfunctional group of whiny,self absorbed,self serving egotistical twits. Politicians major focus is to preserve their perks, power and prestige AND waste time playing their ideological power games which ALWAYS use the ---> excuse that xxxproblem exists because the opponents (other party) blocks, stalls, or is irrational.

  WE the people, EMPLOY these ideologues who actually produce very little except adding Pork to the budget,and of late wasting time writing letters/declarations complaining that they dislike/cant abide the war/loss of life, and media side shows when they have to simply approve or reject an individuals appointment to a position,and the numerous rants on a need to "fix" the "immigration /energy/ failure of states to budget for and use fed copays to maintain their roads, water systems, bridges, flood control projects etc.,failure of states to comply with fed laws (sanctuary cities)...etc..

WE all share the blame because we elected these twits who never learned that AFTER  the problem/issue  is identified,researched, vetted THEN action must be taken..The action can always be modified,,voided, BUT UNTIL any LAW is changed the DUTY of the legislation Branch is to enforce and fund the law.  Our "legislators No longer believe that their job is to PRODUCE legislation. They prefer to complain,whine ,BLAME rather than do what they are paid to do...void, amend or create legislation that serves the NATION. They are incompetent and worse yet  use deceit to  proclaim that x*x is the best/only way or that a theory or opinion is somehow proof  that x*x is the ONLY way to fix/be fair/change ,move society into their particular ideology/beliefs or interpretation of the rights of citizens vrs the government mandates.

-->WE the people have allowed politicians to play their power games ,spend taxpayer $$ on whatever they think will PROVIDE them or their "party/idepology" a return ..(voters, $$$,support,$$$$,...

There is no doubt that the "energy crisis is because Congress for YEARS has chosen to ignore what any school kid knows..When demand is high,supply is limited AND the cost always rises.  All nations grow and change  so what no one could see that energy /food/water will be in demand??

..Dems have consistently blocked ANY energy proposals  . ..They dont want nuclear power, stop funding on the nuclear waste facility even tho all the waste can be sealed/stored in the space of a large gym deep in a mountain or and or recyled/used to further reduce the product,

No/blocked (5-yrs to get the paperwork processed)  to new drilling, same to  building new refineries, ...

The latest scam/deceit is to try and alter/justify a belief that the government must be allowed to redistribute individuals/companies wealth.

The Constitution does not guarantee a "particular life style". The government was never designed to provide food,shelter, or individual assistance to its citizens should they need medical care,or suffer a loss (crop failure,fire, tornado,flood, hurricane, etc). As a society we have agreed to support the infirm,elderly, disabled, orphans/youths ..) . The USA was founded to provide opportunity,protection from undue oppression and a legal system that applied to all (regardless of their "class/economic status and based on the criminal act.

  LIBERAL DEMS want to make our form of government into a socialistic nanny state. Some also believe that the planet should not be divided by nations. They advoctate a world authority (aka the UN) who can then see to the needs of the earths populations. aka Globalists...

  Rush is correct in the sense that failed policies by Congress have produced many problems we face as a nation. Rather than waste time whining about who is to BLAME is fruitless!!WE should ALL be focused and demand that the problems be addressed  without inserting rants, bias, from politicians who look for  political advantage/ returns/ personal or party "wins" . There is no excuse-if you dont understand  (the data,math, the technology, the assumptions,

How can these politicians (mostly lawyers,or political/sociology, communications majors,) make informed decisions when they generally cant differentiate an opinion/theory from a  verifiable fact.  Many never learned that correlation does NOT prove causation, or that a study/report often is simply a  conclusion based on what parameters and assumptions were used/chosen.  Clearly those selling the product/idea (subject of the report) may not always be the best source. Decisions based on surveys,polls, or commissioned studies are generally like asking 200 ist graders their favorite color,,  yet  LIBERAL politicians will swear that they have proof that red is the....  

We are to blame ..and WE need to correct our error by electing those who can and will not game the system and have the intellect to actually think through and ahead  when problem solving. They also need to be able to recognize that when a solution isnt working out alterations are necessary . Covering up errors,bad decisions, etc usually adds more trouble and eventually shame/downfall.

Answer 7

Well bush has run the country on conservative, imperialistic and Christian principles and look whats happened. Limbaugh has NO credibility.

Answer 8

Hardly. The Republicans, for the past 35 years, have focused on ways to win elections, and win offices, however they have shown they are very disinterested in actually governing.

And Rush Limbaugh telling you that Liberals are to blame is like The Jets saying the Patriots suck.

Answer 9

Republicans want abstinence only s*x education..... i think thats one of the BIGGEST failed policies in history....

Answer 10

You have to understand for the Socialist success is not determined by the efficacy of their polices but in the achievement of their goals. These are intelligent even if highly dishonest people and they are fully aware of the fact that their policies have will not solve problems. Their policies are intended to increase, even if incrementally, the power of the State over the individual. In fact, the more misery those problems cause the better. For as long as the American people remain comfortable in their ignorance about government, Dems can continue to bask in the glow of their position as savior while it is their own policies which make the people miserable. Socialism succeeds on misery, not myrrh.

This is tantamount to an auto mechanic who tosses debris into the streets to cause peoples cars to be damaged because he known that they will come to him for assistance. To Dems (Socialists) the more you hurt, the more dependent you become on them for salvation from those “evil Republicans and Conservatives.”

Answer 11

Hahahahahaha. No.  Rush Limbaugh is a right-wing nut job, and everyone knows it.

Answer 12

You can't blame one group of people for everything. But I will admit: decline in work ethic, higher gas prices, social security problems, high taxes in general, flawed public school system. To name a few, most, if not all of these problems have their roots in the decisions of Democrats. So in many ways, he's right.

Answer 13

nope, not true

Answer 14

Washington DC in it's current state is to blame.  Rush Limbaugh is one sided and biased.  Both sides of the aisle share blame equally.

Answer 15

Everyone is at fault in a democracy.  But to counter Rush, Republican policies in Iraq, Afghanistan, on Katrina, the Economy, Oil Price fixing, Enviromental Reform and Base Closings are certainly not the best either.

Answer 16

true! anyone who knows anything about history knows that marxist/humanist/darwin philosohy's and theories have never worked to the good of humanity!just look how the people of russia sufferd for 70 yrs ! darwin saidwe came from monkey's , with this kind of mentality it's no wonder there is no respect for human life!

Answer 17

Polititions are to blame.Hoy can you run any country with two groups fighting about how its run JUST so they can say they got their way

Answer 18

They are to blame for half the problems.

The Repubs are to blame for the other half.

Make sense?

Answer 19

No.  Republicans have run this country for most of the past 45 years.  NEXT.

Answer 20

one only has to look at the recent history to figure out which party has the "failed policy"record. it bares repeating, anyone who listens to a drug addicted, pill popping blow hard, clearly has their tin foil hat on to tightly. comments from that useless lump should be immediately be disregarded as the ravings of a lunatic.

Answer 21

Liberals yeah...not just the Dim ones

Answer 22

They are not any more to blame than any other political group.

By the way, you should not listen to Rush.  He is a convicted drug abuser.

Answer 23

well there's a reliable source for you.....

Answer 24

Democrats and Republicans share the blame. That is just as dumb as the people on the left who blame all the country's problems on the Republicans, although I must admit the current president has given them a lot of ammunition. It's not that simple though.

Answer 25

Rush receives over 30 million a year to whip up RightWingNuts into a Hitler-esque frenzy against Liberals.

What do you expect him to say?

Answer 26

he should know, failed policies are a defining characteristic of the Right
