Limbaugh

Rush is the master of what he does.  But it matters not who's on the field in politics, they all have the same job.  Do whatever it takes to get your vote.  Lie, cheat, steal it does not matter - take any other approach and the other side buries you.  We're left with a Darwinian style in which the only ones left standing are the ones who will, as the movie said, "Will do what it takes, whatever it takes" to win.

It's an inevitability of having so much power at stake.

"The Obama/Clinton/media left are comfortable with the unrest in our society today. It allows them to blame and demonize their opponents (doctors, insurance companies, Wall Street, talk radio, Fox News) in order to portray their regime as the great healer of all our ills, thus expanding their power and control over our society.

A clear majority of the American people want no part of this. They instinctively know that the Obama way is not how things get done in this country. They are motivated by love. Not hate, not sedition. They love their country and want to save it from those who do not."

I think Rush is right, in this case, although this analysis could likely be applied to any party.  As Goebbels was reported to have said, there's an easy formula for the State - convince the people of the danger (hunger, poor quality medicine, dangerous foreigners, dangerous immigrants), and then trade them 'just a tiny bit' of liberty for the security/taxation they will so gladly provide.
