WTF, Arkansas?!

Obama's approval rating in Arkansas:

"Fifty-six percent disapprove of Obama's job performance compared to 40 percent who approve. And get this: voters said by 55 percent to 45 percent that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh had a better vision for America than Obama."

It would be interesting to pose a follow-up question. Something along the lines of "so what exactly is Limbaugh's vision for America?" It's fairly safe to assume the pro-Limbaugh respondents would think Obama's 'vision for America' consists of Socialism, internment camps for crackers, conversion to Islam by scimitar wielding ACORN jihadists, etc. But Limbaugh presents no alternative of his own. This seems like a pretty loaded, intellectually disengenuous game of no ideas v. fake bad ideas.

All that flows from Limbaugh's fat trap is one anti-everything snipe or another at what he says the 'left' wants. But has he ever found time between rabble-rousing rants to expound upon what he wants? When Limbaugh Moses finally leads the Dittoheads through the socialist desert and arrives at the promised land, what will it look like? How will they know when they've got there?

In all seriousness, could someone tell me what Limbaugh's 'vision for America' is? If it's supposed to be a secret, it's an extremely well guarded one that only the Arkansans appear to have been briefed on. I await with baited breath...
