AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
Pubbies will have been bought off.
At the WH meeting? The WH ginning up a game of let’s you and him fight with some Pubbies willing to be bought....?
Who’s the rat? Who was in the meeting? If Kristol knows, it’s definitely a RINO. Who told him to speak on it?, it doesn’t help the cause w/o a name, just hurts it.
The commies infiltrated both sides well.
Rush cites Politico and Bill? Says Boehner entertained it then some mysterious unnamed person stabbed him. Now he’s putting it on Boehner only... yet they were shaken? This is BS. How about Rush getting Boehner and Kristol on the phone now.
I hate reverse press-driven, fake public opinion/poll forced agendas.
As for them being shaken, O’s a vindictive toddler, people can’t treat him as they should and let him pass. No balls.
Rush’s doing their work. How about it’s BS and screaming on them instead? I’m disappointed since he heard him say no where near a deal. Now he’s citing the Hill. I guess Kristol was the ‘conservative’ source. I’m out.
JMHO, the “rat” is simply the ever-trusty media.
Only difference is that they’ve gone from spinning facts to get the presentation they want to making up stories wholesale, then spreading the stuff out to make it appear more credible.
Reuters the other day was just a sample case.
I think what Rush is saying is that Boehner needs to listen to US—not the democrats or media who CLAIM we want the debt ceiling raised now, even if it means tax raises.
WE THE PEOPLE do NOT want tax raises. If that means the debt talks fail then LET THEM FAIL.
It will NOT be the Republicans fault unless the Republicans (Re: Speaker of the House John Boehner) BELIEVE it to be so and do not challenge such a bald-faced lie!!!!
Boehner needs to stand up to the driveby/Washingtonian pressure and listen to RUSH, who speaks for us!!!!!
Did you see the main page re: Tampa shredding docs full speed on the Honduras gun running?
You would think that after the dismal unemployment numbers and Obozo’s disastrous presser today, the GOP would be in a better position, and not feel the need to cave.
I don’t understand the Beltway at all.
How many lawyers would need teleprompters to make an argument?
You don’t use Politico and The Hill to do that. At least a suggestion for all to call would suffice. Okay, he’s warning us. Now Pelosi and Gergen cite. It must be me.
Good afternoon and have a good and blessed weekend! Saw history today when Atlantis took off.
If they need to confess the closet, woman or whatever, get it done; The answer to O is hell no to everything. Should examples of no bill from dems, their record so far, history on how the b*stards went about it and where the money went would be nice.
What Wall Streeters want the ceiling raised. Jeez, now Bloomberg cite. Is it me?
No mention of their raises.
Only after the House and Senate agree on a budget bill should the bring in Obama.
It's clear to me that the one thing that the Democrats do NOT want to do is go on the record with a budget proposal, let alone with a vote on the matter. They would rather let the "Ryan Plan" in the House budget be the only issue out there that they can demagogue.
Therefore, it should be the Republicans' first order of business to force the Democrats into doing what they least want to do, that is, pass a budget in the Senate.
As long as Boehner and McConnell let Reid defer to Obama on budget matters, they will again be giving up their greatest leverage against the Democrats.
Republicans must walk away from negotiations with the White House, and put pressure on Senate Democrats to complete the Congressional budget process.

An Establishment in Panic
By Pat Buchanan
By refusing to accept tax increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, Republicans are behaving like “fanatics,” writes David Brooks of The New York Times.
Anti-tax Republicans “have no sense of moral decency,” he adds.
They are “willing to stain their nation’s honor” to “worship their idol.” If this “deal of the century” goes down, as he calls the Barack Obama offer, “Republican fanaticism” will be the cause.
“The GOP has become a cult” that has replaced reason with “feverish” and “cockamamie beliefs,” writes Richard Cohen of The Washington Post. The Republican “presidential field (is) a virtual political Jonestown,” the Guyana site where more than 900 followers of the Peoples Temple drank the Kool-Aid that Rev. Jim Jones mixed for them.
Does anyone think this an appropriate description of such mild-mannered men as Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman?
“The GOP’s Hezbollah Wing Is Now Fully in Control,” screams The New Republic over a recent lead editorial.
Other columnists charge the GOP with holding America “hostage” by refusing to accept tax hikes to avert a default on the debt.
What to make of this hysteria?
The Establishment is in a panic. It has been jolted awake to the realization that the GOP House, if it can summon the courage to use it, is holding a weapon that could enable it to bridle forever the federal monster that consumes 25 percent of gross domestic product.
To bully and blackmail the GOP into surrendering the weapon and betraying its principles and signing on to new taxes, that establishment has unleashed rhetoric more befitting a war on terror than a political dispute.
For how, exactly, are Republicans threatening the republic?
The House has not said it will not raise the debt ceiling. It must and will. It has not said it will not accept budget cuts. It has indicated a willingness to accept the budget cuts agreed to in the Biden negotiations.
Where the GOP has stood its ground is on tax increases.
Is fanaticism behind this stance? Does this manifest insanity? How does this imperil the nation’s honor and future?
Behind the GOP opposition to tax hikes is the party’s word given to the country that elected it in 2010, its political principles, its traditional view of what not to do when the nation is in a slump, and party history.
Fully 235 Republican House members signed a 2010 pledge not to raise taxes. And by giving their word they were rewarded with victory.
Should they now dishonor that pledge, what would differentiate them from George H.W. Bush, who famously promised in 1988: “Read my lips! No new taxes!” then went back on his word and took the party down to defeat with him?
Second, the GOP is the party of small government and low taxes.
Why would it agree to raise taxes on the private productive sector when federal spending, now at a peacetime record of 25 percent of GDP, is the problem?
Third, America is in a slump, with 9 percent of the workforce unemployed, another 7 percent underemployed and the economy growing at a tepid 1.8 percent.
What school of economic thought — Keynesian, supply-side or monetarist — says raising taxes in a slumping economy is the recipe for a return to prosperity? There is no such school.
Why, when the whole country is talking about the need to create jobs, would Congress raise taxes on a private productive sector that employs six in seven Americans and is the creator of real jobs?
In 1982, President Reagan agreed to the same deal being offered the party today: three dollars in spending cuts for every dollar in tax increases to which he assented. As he ruefully told this writer more than once, he was lied to. He got one dollar in spending cuts for every three in tax increases.
What of the charge that the Republican House is holding America hostage, blackmailing the nation with a suicidal threat to throw us all into national default if it does not get its way?
This smear is the precise opposite of the truth.
The Republican Party has not said it will refuse to raise the debt ceiling. It has an obligation to do so, and will.
The House has simply said it will not accept new taxes on a nation whose fiscal crisis comes from overspending.
If the GOP keeps its word, raises the debt ceiling and accepts budget cuts agreed to in the Biden negotiations, the only people who can prevent the debt ceiling’s being raised are Senate Democrats or Obama, in which case, they, not the GOP, will have thrown the nation into default.
It is the establishment that is resorting to extortion, saying, in effect, to the House GOP: Give us the new taxes we demand, or Obama will veto the debt ceiling and we will all blame you for the default.
They’re bluffing.
The GOP should stand its ground — and fix bayonets.
It is not fanatical of Republicans to refuse to raise taxes during a colossal economic downturn, the real fanatics are people like you, and Obama who insist on taking even MORE from people who have even LESS because of a bad economy. Ya dope.
How true.
Boy, this thread is really most sincerely dead.
