Dear Rush

For the record, Democrats did NOT want George W. Bush to fail.  

We wanted him to lose (the election).  

Having that option taken away from us we HOPED he wouldn't fail.

We knew he would fail US as well as the U.S. if given the chance.

We HOPED he would do better.

We hoped in vain and he did NOT do better than expected.

A fundamental difference between "us" (Democrats) and "them" (Republicans who listen to YOU and cannot come up with something other than "ditto" when they are "speaking their minds" - certainly not all Republicans, mind you) is that we all understand that there is an entire nation of people (not just your listeners) who need help in far too many ways thanks to the guy we'd all hoped would do better than expected and didn't.  If using a Star Trek quote won't sully this point too much, let me make it perfectly clear. 

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

WE THE PEOPLE never wanted George W. Bush to fail.  We all wanted what was best for all of us.  YOU want Barack Obama to fail because YOUR lifestyle may be affected and others you don't like may need the help more than you need another cigar, Twinkie, or dose of Oxycontin.

So please, Rush...Stop pretending you're qualified to do anything other than host a talk show.  If you really want to put your money where your mouth is, why not leave your successful radio show and run for an elected office.  Then we'll all know just how "right" you really are.  until then I say, respectfully...
