Will Wisconsin Show the GOP Establishment That
Conservatism Wins?

June 06, 2012

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Jim in Houston, Texas. I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the program.

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush. I appreciate it,
and I appreciate all that you do.

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.

CALLER: I'm sitting here with my three grandkids, turning them into Rush Babies.

RUSH: That a way.

CALLER: My question is,
if this election in Wisconsin sent a note to the Democrats,
what do you think it sends to the Republican National Committee and to Romney?
Because you've already touched on the fact that
the compromise is an out thing, and it always has been,
but do you think Romney will get the message that he needs to be --

RUSH: I hope so.

CALLER: -- less moderate and more conservative?



RUSH: This is the great unknown.
I really would love to tell you that, yeah, they're gonna get the message.
I don't know how they couldn't get the message,
but this is the big question:

Will the Republican establishment figure out here that victory was achieved
not by compromise and not by crossing the aisle,
but by hanging tough to what you said you were gonna do,
staying loyal to your conservative principles.
If they're unwilling to recognize that conservatism and no compromise with liberals was central to this victory,
then, no, they won't learn the lesson from it.

CALLER: Well, I'm one of many people in this country who is not particularly happy that Romney is our candidate,
but I will vote for him because he's obviously considerably better than --

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: -- the current president. But if he doesn't get the message, there's gonna be people, if you read the blogs, that say that they're not gonna vote for him.
I really can't believe that because Obama is so bad, but it is a little bit of a concern to me that Romney is not willing to step up to the plate on some issues and be thoroughly conservative.

RUSH: I understand, but are you happy with the way Romney is hitting back?
He's got a rapid response team.
They want him to throw Trump overboard.
He's not doing that. He is not giving them what they want, and he's firing back twice as hard at 'em,
and they were not expecting this.

CALLER: I'm very glad of that, and I like what I see so far because McCain would not do that.

RUSH: Huh-uh.

CALLER: I also have a concern about who he's gonna pick as his running mate
because a couple of the names that have been mentioned as potential running mates,
like Portman or Mitch Daniels,
those names don't appeal to me.

He needs to pick a very strong conservative running mate
and I'm fearful that he won't do that.

RUSH: Well, there are a couple names out there already upsetting.
Mike Leavitt, head of transition. The guy loves these health exchanges, has made a lot of money on 'em. That's alarming to people.
Oh, I forgot, I mentioned it yesterday.
Not as bad, but there are a lot of people concerned over some of his close top advisers.
Yeah, we'll just have to wait and see on your primary question. Time will tell.
This is what's been frustrating, though, and the question's legitimate.
You would think the Republican establishment would have learned from Reagan and two landslide victories in the eighties.
But as recently as six months ago, a year ago, the Republican establishment wanted no part of that.
Reagan, conservative nominee, equals a Barry Goldwater landslide defeat.
So we'll see.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Glenn Hubbard was the name I was looking for.
The other named Romney adviser who happens to believe that the rich may not be paying their fair share in taxes.
We're talking about sources of new revenue.
So it's Hubbard and Mike Leavitt that have some people nervous on the Romney side, as our caller indicated.

[Yosemitest]

Thanks Rush.
I just don't trust Romney, period.
No matter what he says, I believe he's "Establishment Republican" to the core, and will return to his liberal roots, right after he's elected.
There's no way in hell that I'll vote for him, no matter who he chooses for his running mate.
The best thing conservatives can do is let the liars fall flat on their faces!

We've got to cleanse ourselves of these backstabbing liberal RINOs. They constantly lie to us and play us for pawns.
I'm hoping and praying for a GOP Convention upset.
I'm betting that with 70 percent of the Republicans against Romney, the delegates in the convention will NOT back him.
They will choose someone else that can unite the party and defeat Obama.
Romney will never win!
The "Establishment Republicans" can GO TO HELL!

"Mitt, It's Time To Quit!"



Mitt. It’s time you quit!
Your credibility isn’t worth spit.
RINOs, the “Establishment”, and Democrats all agree,
But in the General Election, to Obama they’ll flee.
Against Obama, liberals and moderates know you’ll lose.
But conservatives, Romney they’ll never choose.

Mitt, our loyalty you can’t buy.
Back to Massachusetts, you’d better fly.
Just like Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, and John McCain,
Nominee Willard Mitt Romney will result in the same.
As a Governor, your record isn’t that great.
Out of 50 states, your popularity was number 48.

Your experience, the “Establishment” types tout.
Defending federal bailouts and FDIC loan forgiveness will find you out.
Democrats and RINOs cower from their liberal wives,
Supporting Romney with nothing but lies.
In 1994 Ted Kennedy showed Willard to be a great bane,
With Mitt’s Bain, and Bain Capital, Obama will do the same.

Damon Corp, with Romney paid $119 million in a fine.
Yet Willard says, for his leadership, it’s time.
He claims jobs he can create and taxes he can lower,
47th out of 50 in growth he rates. Can it get any slower?
$740.5 million dollars a year, fees and taxes under Mitt increased.
Will the half-truths and lies from Romney ever cease?

For Liberty and Freedom, we don’t need “Flakes”,
But Romney says Healthcare responsibilities belong to the States.
Conservatives stand for “Self-responsibility, Self-accountability, and Self-reliance.”
But against these things, Willard’s actions scream in defiance.
“Establishment Republicans” thinks Romney can help take back the Senate,
But they know that for President, Mitt can NOT win it.

Like everything the “Establishment Republicans” try to do,
It leads to failure, and we get the bill, as well as the screw.
In their corruption, little change do they seek,
They don’t want our Freedom to peak.
Their craving for power has pushed their bravery,
To ignore our Constitution, and sell us into economical slavery.

So Willard, don’t lecture us on the need for “patience” and “compromise”.
Romney, be selfless. Conservatism is on the rise.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, isn’t what we desire.
You let them rewrite the language. Where’s your fire?
Romney, they accuse us falsely, and you do little.
Where’s your response, or can you only twiddle?

Mitt, you don’t have what it takes to lead.
So with you I plead.
Do you really want to go from Obama-care to Romney-care?
With you, this nation will pull out its hair!
Go somewhere and quietly think … and sit.
“Know your own limitations!” Mitt. It’s time you quit!

Rush NAILS IT!

[freedomfiter2]

The establishment won’t ge it because it conflicts with their goal of a huge government cow that can be milked.

[cripplecreek]

Replace the Republican National Committeemen if you want to send a real message. Its probably one of the easiest things you could do.

Will Wisconsin SHOW the GOP Establishment THAT CONSERVATISM WINS?

[jimsin]

ya need a dose of ANNIE COULTER, lad......

read this please.... http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2012-02-22.html

This is how she closes....

“We’re being asked to hand Obama another four years in the White House in order to “send a message.” To whom? And what message? That we’re morons? Message received!

Meanwhile, Romney cheerfully campaigns on, the biggest outsider and most conservative candidate we’ve run for president since Reagan, while being denounced by the Establishment as “too Establishment.”

(TIME TO CUT THE NONSENSE...if Mitt does not win and Obama gets to put in 2 liberal supreme court justices....WE ARE SUNK...)

[Yosemitest]

Let's take another look at just how big CONSERVATISM WINS!

The election was held on November 4, 1980. Ronald Reagan with running mate George H.W. Bush beat Carter by almost 10 percentage points in the popular vote. Republicans also gained control of the Senate for the first time in twenty-five years on Reagan's coattails. The electoral college vote was a landslide, with 489 votes (representing 44 states) for Reagan and 49 votes for Carter (representing 6 states and the District of Columbia). NBC News projected Reagan as the winner at 8:15 pm EST (5:15 PST), before voting was finished in the West, based on exit polls. (It was the first time a broadcast network used exit polling to project a winner, and took the other broadcast networks by surprise.) Carter conceded defeat at 9:50 pm EST.^[25][26] Carter's loss was the worst defeat for an incumbent President since Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 by a margin of 18%. Carter's defeat is the most lopsided defeat for any incumbent president in an election where only two candidates won electoral votes. Also, Jimmy Carter is the first incumbent Democrat to serve only one full term since James Buchanan and fail to secure re-election since Andrew Johnson (Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms while Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson served one full term in addition to taking over after the deaths of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy respectively).

John Anderson won 6.6% of the popular vote and failed to win any state outright. He found the most support in New England, fueled by liberal Republicans who felt Reagan was too far to the right; his best showing was in Massachusetts, where he won 15% of the popular vote. Conversely, Anderson performed worst in the South. Anderson failed to achieve the spoiler effect, due to Reagan's strong showing and the fact that he arguably attracted at least as many Democrats to his ticket as Republicans.

Libertarian Party candidate Ed Clark received 921,299 popular votes (1.1%). The Libertarians succeeded in getting Clark on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Clark's best showing was in Alaska, where he received 12% of the vote. As of 2008, this is the best performance by a Libertarian presidential candidate.

Reagan won 53% of the vote in reliably Democratic South Boston.^[13]

Reagan's electoral college victory of 489 electoral votes (90.9% of the electoral vote) is the most lopsided electoral college victory for a non-incumbent President.

This was also the last election in which an incumbent president was defeated in two elections in a row. The only other time this happened was in 1892.



Ronald Reagan was re-elected following the November 6 election in an electoral and popular vote landslide, winning 49 states. Reagan won a record 525 electoral votes total (of 538 possible), and received 58.8 percent of the popular vote; despite Ferraro's selection, 55% of women who voted did so for Reagan,^[24] and his 54 to 61% of the Catholic vote was the highest for a Republican candidate in history.^[28]:191 Mondale's 13 electoral college votes (from his home state of Minnesota—which he won by 0.18%—and the District of Columbia) marked the lowest total of any major Presidential candidate since Alf Landon's 1936 loss to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mondale's defeat was also the worst for any Democratic Party candidate in U.S. history in the Electoral College (and his 13 electoral votes the fewest any Democrat has won since Stephen A. Douglas claimed 12 in the 1860 election, when the Democratic vote was divided), though others, including Alton B. Parker, James M. Cox, John W. Davis, and George S. McGovern, did worse in the popular vote.

Psephologists pointed to "Reagan Democrats"—millions of Democrats who voted for Reagan, as in 1980. They characterized such Reagan Democrats as southern whites and northern blue collar workers who voted for Reagan because they credited him with the economic recovery, saw Reagan as strong on national security issues, and perceived the Democrats as supporting the poor and minorities at the expense of the middle class. The Democratic National Committee commissioned a study after the election that came to these conclusions, but suppressed the "explosive report" afraid that it would offend its key voters.^{[28]:186,191-193}

This was the last election in which the Republican candidate carried every Northeastern state. Though even here, Reagan failed to carry Washington, D.C. This was representative of the future dominance of the Democratic Party in that region.

"Establishment Republicans" can't hid any longer!
Get the HELL out of our party, and go back to the Democrats Communists party.

[Yosemitest]

I like Ann Coulter.
But she's just WRONG about Romney, period!

Republicans, you mean "Establishment Republicans", are happier not being responsible ...

It ain't over ... till it's over.
We don't have to chose, until our time comes to chose.
I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have, to expose Willard for the RINO he is.
But I will not support a RINO, no matter what!
The "Establishment Republicans" are a worse enemy than the Communists, because they tear us down from the inside.


We have to vote for who we want to vote for, and ignore the LAME Stream Media's constant drumming for LOSER MITT.
They want MITT because he's the easiest to defeat.
Look what Rush said (5th paragraph from the end) about what the "Establishment Republicans" think Mitt's chances are.

" But let me just close this out by saying
the Democrats have insisted for 75 years that Social Security is an insurance program
that you are contributing a percentage of your paycheck into your own account,
which is part of a trust fund, to pay for your retirement benefit.
It is not, they insist, it is not welfare,
it is not an entitlement program.
It is insurance.
They've told us this for 75 years.
Like an annuity program.

Meanwhile, every argument they are making now strips bare the big lie that they've been telling for 75 years.
If this payroll tax cut is a tax cut, then Social Security is not an insurance program.
And yet we're gonna run around and let them have it both ways
because we're afraid of the optics
or we're afraid because Obama's African-American?
Is it a welfare or entitlement program
and the money people are having withheld from their paychecks
is not an insurance contribution, then it's a tax. Pure and simple.
But they've sold this as an insurance program
and all of a sudden now we're cutting taxes on this program?
It's a welfare or entitlement program.
The money people are having withheld from their paychecks is not an insurance contribution, [it's] a tax, that's what they're telling us now?
Okay, then you are being taxed to pay for somebody else's retirement.
Now, the fact that the Republican establishment cannot make that case and other arguments
tells me that they may have already surrendered,
and this is a big difference between us and the establishment.
They're in this defensive posture, I've told you,
I said on Greta how many times,

a lot of people inside the Republican establishment secretly don't even believe Obama can be beaten.
And that's why they want Romney,
'cause they think at least Romney will help 'em take the Senate.
He'll lose less down the ballot than Gingrich or some conservative will.
But conservatives, you Tea Party activists, you don't want to give up
and you haven't given up,
and you don't want to accept this propaganda from the left.
We insist on challenging it, we insist on fighting it
'cause there's no other way to save the country,
and continually playing these games
letting the Democrats rewrite the language, change the definition of things,
get away with false accusations against us, never do anything about it,
constantly stay on defense. "

The GOP Establishment in Abject Panic: They Don't Understand Their Own Base

Newt is a Vessel: He Won South Carolina Because He Articulated Conservatism

Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage Poll: Gingrich Man to Beat, Tuesday, 29 Nov 2011 04:20 PM

However, we must stand up and loudly say

"WE SUPPORT NEWT, OR SANTORUM!
HE CAN BEAT OBAMA SO BADLY ... , IT'LL BE THE SHOW OF THE CENTURY"

It'll be a fight against the "Establishment Republicans" to the very end, and it may even go into a Brokered Convention.

Like Ronald Reagan said:

" We must go forth from here united,
determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true:
" There is no substitute for victory, Mr. President. " "

How many times has the "Republican Establishment" treated us to one lecture after the other on the need for “compromise” and “patience.”?
After we elect and RE-elect the "Republican Establishment", they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail.
It may be worth it for the GOP to lose some elections - if it means that conservatives—and the country—will ultimately win.

If we didn’t know it before, WE ... the Tea Partiers, now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.

Ironically, we can thank the "Republican Establishment" for impressing this so indelibly upon us!!! I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.


Now the "Republican Establishment's" hatred for conservatives is well known.
Jon Bershad wrote about Rush's analysis of their PANIC.

My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none.
But my ... LOATHING ... for the "Establishment Republicans" ... is even stronger!
The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

[vanilla swirl]

” if Mitt does not win and Obama gets to put in 2 liberal supreme court justices....”

What makes you think Mitt would appoint conservative, pro life judges?

Any of the other candidates WOULD have done that but Mitt is the “etch-a-sketch”.

I hope that, if he is the choice he wins over Obama.
But from a personal moral conviction I can’t vote for him.
(Just about ANY of the others would have been acceptable.)

The Republican Party, as it stands now must die!

[MotorCityBuck]

LOL!! Spot On Sarge!

[Biggirl]

Thank-you for your response!

If it is possible, can you please find a map of 2012 America with the red and blue areas please. THANKS ahead. :)

[sirchtruth]

If there is anyone is this world who feels the same way as you, it's me! I don't trust Romney. I said in 2006 I would never vote for a rino again and I intend to stick to this with only ONE exception. The republican party power structure changes!

Romney is going to be the nominee no matter what contention is brought but what should happen at the convention is conservatives have a responsibility to hold the GOPe and Romney's feet to the fire. Bring down the GOPe house! Send a CLEAR message, you will follow our conservative lead without exception. If this is accomplished to a satisfactory degree, in this extreme case because we are truly up against not only an incompetent evil marxist, but most likely an ineligible unqualified anti-capitalist/anit-American. I would say this election calls for extreme measures. I feel confident in not wasting my vote.

If conservatives (I include myself) will not do what is necessary to gain control of the party this election then they can KMA and so called conservative wimps can piss off, I'm saying good riddance!

Conservatives have to regain power in the republican party or guys like you and I are going to bolt and the republican party will be left with only total losers!

[Lucas McCain]

Of course, you are right. I don’t trust Romney either. We must put all are trust in the only alternative, Obama.

[Darksheare]

Either way we are sunk.
Romney favors gun bans, individual mandates, homosexual marriage, etc etc etc.
Tell me how that is any different from Obama?

[COBOL2Java]

(TIME TO CUT THE NONSENSE...if Mitt does not win and Obama gets to put in 2 liberal supreme court justices....WE ARE SUNK...)

[SaraJohnson]

The milking of our government by the GOP establishment also involves going against the interests of the people in small business by protecting and establishing corporate monopolies; and in tax feeding the police and defense industry, turning America into the latest war zone by naming Americans the terrorist enemy they are after and stripping American “insergents” of their constitutional rights and dignity.

The Establishment is abosultely poison to the US right now.
