The real question is: What should Americans do if the Republican party succeeds at choking tea party conservatives (whatever they are) out of the Republican party, at least in the presidential nominee for 2016?

What if -- and it's a pretty probable "if," all considered -- the Republican primary results in a Romney or Jeb or other Republican who is on board with the Democrat game plan of more and bigger government to regulate health care (including on-demand abortion), "the environment" (iron-fisted regulation of food and energy production and consumption), education, and homosexual "rights" that punish bakeries for civilly, peacefully rejecting open homosexuality? What if the Republican party nominates such a "centrist" Republican who embraces the concept of government tyranny?

They say going third party is a "sucker's bet."

The real sucker's bet is voting for what you abhor and then hoping for the best once it takes affect if it wins because your intent was to vote "against" the other guy. THAT is a sure-fire sucker's bet if there ever was one.

So the real question is: What should Rush and the rest of us do if the Republican party succeeds in this quest to exclude limited government tea party conservatives?

I know what I will do.

"Maybe JEB should run with Hillary on the Democrat ticket, as her VP."


Bill: I hope she runs and wins so I can spend more time at my Clinton Library and Massage Parlor!

“You want to know why Jeb Bush is thinking about running?” Limbaugh asked on his top-rated program Tuesday. “He’s … being looked at as savior by the big-money donor class and the consultant class – the establishment of the party – to head off the tea party. They’re gonna pull out all the stops to make sure that a tea-party-type conservative doesn’t get the nomination.....It could be a sacrificial run just to make sure that a conservative doesn’t get the nomination in 2016. There’s a whole bunch of stuff under the surface here that’s percolating and effervescing, and it’s all about us being the No. 1 enemy of these people."

How dare you besmirch mashed potatoes by comparing them to Jeb.

Rush is probably right.

If Bush (Romney, Christy, et al) wins the primary, were probably going to lose to the dems in the general. Conservatives are going to stay home in droves. Even me - after holding my nose through Dole, McCain, Romney) will stay home in 2016 if any of these moderates wind up being our candidate,

No better time to try a 3rd party. It will split the vote, for sure; we’ll lose anyway, for sure; but, based on the 2014 turnout, it will show these idiot pundits exactly how much clout the base (I.e. Tea party, conservatives, grass roots, etc) actually have.

The GOPe has gotten to big for their britches, nourished so often by pork from the fat cats, they’ve forgotten who actually elects them.

A national “write-in” would be impressive, but convincing everyone to do that would be tough.

The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t care about America, just money. They would welcome socialism as long as the money flows.

So, even though in past election years I’ve railed against the stay-at-home protestors at election time, if anyone like Romney, McCain, Bush, Christy, etc runs, I’ll be at home watching reruns of “Cheyanne” on the western channel.

Yep. It’s better to fight amoral tyranny you rejected than to submit to amoral tyranny you elected.

I can see this as a real possibility:

Hillary takes the THIRD Clinton plurality win.

Rush Limbaugh says the real reason Jeb is seeking the White House is to choke the influence of tea-party conservatives out of the Republican Party.

If that's what he is thinking, the effect will be exactly the opposite of what he expects. He will probably wind up splitting the Republican Party

If Jeb or some other RINO is nominated by the GOP, the patriotic voters should not vote for him, nor, obviously, for whatever traitorous Demonicrat pile of excrement is on the ballot.

If the Demonicrat wins, the blame, mockery, and ridicule should be heaped on Jeb and every single RINO in America. They are the guilty ones whose egos joined the Demonicrats in treason!

Hillary gets steamrolled by another Tea Party Republican revolution and is then impeached.

I'm good with that.

I've been listening to Rush for many years and this is the first time I have ever heard him criticize a GOP potential presidential candidate to the extent he did today on Jeb Bush.

He has always withheld such criticism in order to allow his listeners and the public to form their own opinions on the information he provides and let them vote accordingly in the primaries.........

Kudos to Rush for finally breaking out of that mode.

While not out right saying so, I suspect Rush is just as concerned as the rest of us as to who the GOP will promote for the 2016 presidency.

Glad you listened to Rush today, he said the very same thing.

Limbaugh can become relevant again the day he abandons the GOP. Until then, he’s just another radio guy talking the talk. Blah blah blah.

He does seem to be moving in that direction, albeit slowly. Maybe too little too late....
