Rush: Cromnibus Designed to 'Eliminate the Tea Party'
breitbart.com ^ | 12/12/14

Posted on 12/12/2014 11:44:37 AM PST by cotton1706

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh railed against provisions in the cromnibus that relaxed campaign finance rules on Friday, saying that it was designed to "basically eliminate [the Tea Party] as a viable threat," and "how corporate America is going to defeat the Tea Party."

He explained "that campaign finance stuff...I'm going to tell you exactly what that is...the limits have practically been obliterated which means that corporate donors can just start giving left and right."

Limbaugh continued "This is how corporate America is going to defeat the Tea Party. By allowing limitless donations from that crowd under the rubric that its campaign finance and money is speech and freedom of speech and 1st Amendment, the theory is that Main Street, Tea Party people can't come close to competing with corporate money and so it is a Republican Establishment ploy that kind of dovetails nicely with Obama siccing the IRS on the Tea Party to basically eliminate them as a viable threat by relaxing a regulation in Dodd-Frank that pretty much permits corporations to spend any kind of money they want on politics."

Earlier, he declared "our Speaker of the House [got] in bed with Obama and advances the Obama agenda, takes care of it, amnesty, Obamacare, fully funded, done deal, the election must not have mattered."

” Conservatism wasn’t on the ballot in November.”

The Chamber of Commerce was.

” FR’s RINO fan boys didnt. They were all about talking down to conservatives voicing doubt. They told us that RINOs were better than liberals.”

This is what it got us.

Rush: “” Earlier, he declared “our Speaker of the House [got] in bed with Obama and advances the Obama agenda, takes care of it, amnesty, Obamacare, fully funded, done deal,””

Obviously, the GOP hasn’t heard what has happened to the Tories in Britain, who are severely threatened by the newly formed United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). The GOP thinks it has won, but the war isn’t over.

Seriously considering setting up a PAC after the first of the year.

“They told us that RINOs were better than liberals.”

RINOs are worse than liberals.

Liberals are at least fairly honest about their agenda. They do not pretend to be our friends. They don’t pretend to share our goals. We know where we stand with liberals.

RINOs are like the guy that pretends to be your best friend, but as soon as you go on a business trip, he tries to seduce your wife.

The only chance of us taking the Republican party is by taking the presidency first. Look at Obama, that is how his Chicago wing took over the Democrat party. Whoever holds the big seat has the power to reshape the party, but without that, chances are slim.

A third party in a red state like South Carolina is the only way to check the corruption of the representatives. Sad to say, Joe Miller is also one who sold us down the river. And Duncan Hunter!!

That's because the SCGOP is in on the take.

I don't think it would work with the presidency, or maybe it would.

No, the way to get the GOP back is to start at the statehouses, and then the congressional nationals.

By-pass the whole rotten bunch. It should be painfully obvious by now they are not going to reform themselves. Republicans got 66 out of 99 state houses last election. Use that and to hell with those collectivist scum in Washington.

We need to keep focused on the long game. The chamber of commerce is an anti American pro amnesty organization, which funds rinos. That is the battleground. We need an alternative.

Why would they do that? Boner’s acting no different that he always has, and they have continued to elect him in the past.

Ohioans like Boner the way he is, I think.

If the Marxist pubbies succeed in driving out the TP a new party will destroy them all.
They fail to understand that the TP is not a political party. It is a spirit flowing throughout the land that will not be denied.

You were one of the ones advocating 'holding your nose' and voting for liberal republicans in the general election.

It will be the ultimate irony if Hillary is able to pull off a THIRD “Clintonian plurality” win.
