Ideas Matter More Than Platitudes

Rush Limbaugh in the Wall Street Journal:

Now the liberals run the government and they're using their power to implement their radical agenda. Mr. Obama and his party believe that the election of November 2008 entitled them to make permanent, "transformational" changes to our society. In just 16 months they've added more than $2 trillion to the national debt, essentially nationalized the health-care system, the student-loan industry, and have their sights set on draconian cap-and-trade regulations on carbon emissions and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Had President Obama campaigned on this agenda, he wouldn't have garnered 30% of the popular vote.


You know, this is absolutely true. Instead of any sort of specific ideas, Obama campaigned on glittering generalities and hope and change and other great touchy-feely buzzwords without having to really outline any of his actual agenda.

Now we're starting to realize just how big a smokescreen that was.
