THIS IS HOW FAR RUSH LIMBAUGH THINKS

THE ‘REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT’ MAY GO TO
‘GET RID IF THE TEA PARTY’
Dec. 16, 2013 11:00pm, Jason Howerton

Rush Limbaugh on Monday speculated that the
“Republican establishment may in fact be so desirous of getting rid of the Tea Party as its base,
they may be willing to lose some elections in order to get rid of their base
and put up a new base.”

The conservative radio host also referenced a story on the Drudge Report indicating that
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is claiming
that House Majority Leader John Boehner told her
to wait next year for immigration reform.

Limbaugh when on to air comments made by Boehner seemingly referring to conservative lawmakers like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“Frankly, I think they’re misleading their followers.
I think they’re pushing our members to places that they don’t want to be.
And frankly, I just think that they’ve lost all credibility.
You know, they’ve pushed us into this fight
to defund Obamacare
and to shut down the government,”
Boehner said on Sunday.

Now, Limbaugh explained, the GOP establishment is
“livid that Ted Cruz and his gang engineered, with public support, what happened in the government shutdown.”

RUSH: GOP Willing To Lose Some Elections In Order To Get Rid Of The Tea Party - YouTube (4:48 )

RUSH: Look at 2010.
That's a Tea Party landslide, midterm congressional victory that the Republican Party didn't do squat to win.
The 2010 midterms. (interruption)
Mmm-hmm. (interruption)
Well, I know I've said that.
I have proffered the possibility that the Republicans may indeed...

This is something I think that has to be considered.

The Republican establishment may in fact be so desirous of getting rid of the Tea Party as its base,
they may be willing to lose some elections in order to get rid of their base and put up a new base.
Now, Pelosi is out there saying...
I don't know this happened or not.
Pelosi is saying
that Boehner told her to wait until next year for amnesty.
They're not gonna be able to get to it this year.
Boehner told her to be patient and wait.

That's what she is saying.
I just saw it on the Drudge Report, that Pelosi is saying
that Boehner told her they're gonna do "immigration" next year.
"Amnesty" was not used.
The word "amnesty" was not used.
"Immigration" will be done next year.
Now, Boehner has to know that the base doesn't want any part of it.
WHY would they do it, then?
You can't eliminate the role that money is playing in that, either.
Donor dollars.
You cannot!
You know it as well as I do.

If they're getting pressure from big-time donors that they better support amnesty, that's what they are going to do. (interruption)
I know.
It sounds like Obama talking to Dmitry Medvedev.
(impression) "Well, look, you go tell Vlad that I'll be a lot more flexible after I win reelection."

(Boehner) "Well, look, Nancy Pelosi, sit tight, do election next year or immigration next year."

Here's Boehner.
This is yesterday in Washington.
He doubled down here on conservatives misleading their "followers" and everything.

BOEHNER: Well, frankly, I think they're misleading, um, uh, their followers.
I think they're, uh, pushing our members in places where they don't want to be --
and, frankly, I just, uh, think that, uh, uh, they've lost all credibility.
You know, they pushed us into this fight,
uh, to defund Obamacare and to shut down the government.

RUSH: There! You have it!

That is, I'm telling you, what is the primary animating thing.

The establishment is livid
that Ted Cruz and his gang engineered, with public support, what happened in the government shutdown.
They're livid.
They think (erroneously, I might add) that that's why they are looked upon with disfavor by the majority of people in the country
because they THINK that a majority of people didn't want the shutdown.
Most people didn't notice it and don't even care.

But they BELIEVE that the Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Tea Party-ENGINEERED shutdown...
You can just hear how ticked off Boehner is about this,
and here's Boehner now saying what the Democrats were saying about Ted Cruz,
and not just the Democrats.
Who was it that Republicans were accusing Cruz of misleading?
"Well, you know, Cruz is out there promising people things that he can't deliver."
Oh, that's right.
It was Peter King, Mr. Long Island,
who doubles as a member of Congress and a Fox News analyst.

He was saying
that Cruz was misleading his followers,
that Cruz was promising people, getting 'em to sign a petition for something that could never happen.
"We're not gonna defund Obamacare. He's telling 'em lies,"
and now that's what Boehner says.
He's joined that chorus that the Tea Party guys are mislead,
and he's talking primarily here about Heritage Action and two other lobbying groups, Club for Growth.
He's really not talking about me in this case.

I didn't join this fray.
Other radio talk show hosts did big time. I stayed out of it.

Rush is pointing out that he’s stayed out of this fray. Which is the same as saying he’s now irrelevant.

When the GOP picks up seats in next years 2014 elections Rush will be spinning a whole different theme.

All it will prove is the the Boenher RINOS weren't able to join the "Friends across the aisle" in their destruction of Free America. Rush will be correct.

Boehner has come to appreciate what immigrants bring to this country...

Exhibit A to Rush’s thesis: The 2013 race for Governor in Virginia.

I’ve tired of Rush lately and turned him off, but I believe he is essentially correct on this.

And I think the GOP is in for a surprise next NOV. What reasons are the GOP giving conservatives to support them? See 2012 Presidential election.

RE :”Rush will be correct.”

By being wrong again?
That is how he stays on top, always right even when he is wrong.. .

Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh says that Sen. John McCain will score a stunning upset over Sen. Barack Obama and win the presidency on Nov. 4
[Rush] Limbaugh Predicts McCain Victory (NewsMax ^ | October 31, 2008 | David A. Patten, FR thread link )

I almost forgot this one :
We Could See a McCain Landslide (Rushlimbaugh.com, August 12, 2008)

“The enthusiasm that got people out in 2010, I'm seeing at every Mitt Romney rally. Romney's drawing crowds of 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 15,000. “The enthusiasm that we all saw in 2010 is there. The same issues that existed in 2010 exist today. There hasn't been anything that's gotten better.”

[JTHomes]

Spot on. Republicans in power act like democrats. After the 2002 elections, instead of a flat tax, balanced budget, and elimination whole agencies like EPA, DoAg, and general deregulation, we got more progressive taxes, more funding to destructive agencies, more regulation, new medicare entitlements, and loads more debt. Short of total collapse I’m not sure what can change it. And collapse will not be a big winner for freedom either. We’re looking kinda doomed.

[Boogieman]

“they may be willing to lose some elections in order to get rid of their base and put up a new base”

I don’t doubt they might be this dumb, but where do they think a “new base” will materialize from?

[oh8eleven]

Now? He hasn't been relevant since shortly after Øbama took office. His shows since then have been the same, day-after-day-after-day.
He keeps preaching the SOS to the choir while they have to endure his shameless selling of his "patriotic" tea and "patriotic" new book.
If Rush wants to be relevant again; if he really thinks this country is doomed, he needs to put his money where his mouth is and run for office.

That’s the best you can come up with? That he’s a cheerleader come election time?

[Da Coyote]

I will never again vote for a Republican.

I will vote for a conservative.

If this results in a liberal takeover, so be it.

We’re long overdue for Revolution II, and Jefferson had it right when he stated that these things are needed every so often.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”That’s the best you can come up with? That he’s a cheerleader come election time?”

He is the compass that usually points everywhere but north.

Now after predicting McCain and Romney would win big as POTUS candidates he is preaching gloom and doom for 2014. But in year he will be singing a different tune, again

Maybe elections are won by ignoring Rush's advice.

[Yosemitest]

My sentiments, exactly.
It's time to feed the LIBERTY TREE !

[gitmo]

It’s pretty obvious the GOP-E doesn’t want conservatives dirtying up their party.

[ilgipper]

They started shedding Tea Party types last cycle through redisticting. They coordinated knocking out Allen West from his seat and also destroyed a safe seat along the space coast by combining it with John Mica’s (the Transportation Chair) safe seat. He took on Sandy Adams who would have coasted to an easy reelection. The leadership could not control Allen or Sandy, so they knocked ‘em out.

[Common Sense 101]

Who gives a flying crap what Rush says... blathering endlessly about the obvious does nothing to further the conservative cause, and neither does he, given that he is only speaking to sycophantic or like-minded people in the first place. He has been so marginalized by the socialist media scum, he changes no minds regardless of the topic. In fact he has become so thin-skinned or scared of the leftists, he spends an inordinate amount of time trying to explain away any criticism they have regarding any "controversial" statement he might have said the day before. Today talk, as it always has in the past, means nothing.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”They started shedding Tea Party types last cycle through redisticting.”

That is done at the state level, not the federal level or the RNC.

[Irenic]

Are you supportive of the GOP’s new direction?
