“And apparently it hasn’t sunk in yet in the Republican establishment how outrageously bad this is,” he explained.”
That strikes me as true, for now.
yes, they got some fundraising emails out the door, and they raised a bunch of money.
But, so far, I’m not sure I believe that they really understand, or have a plan. Sort of “Peace in our time” all over again.
They proved a long time ago that they don’t have the will to fight this stuff. I think, ultimately, it is because their heart is not in fighting it because, frankly, they are for it.

At least, enough of them are.
Here’s the sad reality... they don’t WANT to stop Obama.
Politicians work in, derive their wealth and power from government.
Obama wants to expand government in terms of size and reach.
Republicans can pretend to be upset while bellying up to the trough that Obama is graciously providing.
(From 2010)
Tennessee GOP Senator Bob Corker telling “high dollar donors” at a GOP event something prospective Republican voters will be surprised to hear:
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP colleagues have no intention whatsoever to repeal ObamaCare. None. Zip.
According to what the story says are “multiple sources,” here’s the skinny:
The junior senator from Tennessee told the gathering of donors not to worry about the incoming class of “crazier Republicans” because the majority of Senate Republicans, especially minority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), had no intention of repealing the president’s health care bill. They instead planned to fix only the “bad parts” of the law, Corker reportedly told the group.
Get that? The Senate Republican Establishment is already actively planning to sabotage any effort by new colleagues…colleagues they consider to be “crazier Republicans” …to repeal the law that has infuriated a majority of Americans.
Or maybe, just maybe, as members of the elite Northeastern Ruling Class, the Republican leadership doesn't WANT to slow any of this down. Maybe, just maybe, they agree with most of Obama's agenda.
Ockham's Razor. Simplest explanation is most likely to be true.
I actually got a email/poll from my Republican US Congressman asking if I approved of the Supreme Court ruling.
Out F'ing out of touch can my so-called Conservative congressman be?
Call me when Rush calls for the ouster of Boner and the turkey neck from leadership. Until then it is all for show.
Rush: Republicans clueless complicit in NOT stopping Obama
There, fixed title to match reality.
The Republican establishment only campaigns on one issue: the economy.
It’s why they always want to choose a bland, non-controversial candidate who will offend no one. They are terrified of any other issue because it might cause people to dislike them. In their minds, everyone wants a good economy, so no one will be offended.
They’re insipid.
I was convinced that the U.S. was finished as a capitalistic, conservative country, after seeing the results of the November 2006 U.S. election. When the “politically stupid”/”politically ignorant” become a majority voting force, then it’s all over for the political right and commonsense.
Today Rush was show prep for the Ed Show.
(posting w/o reading...)
Rush & most / ALL of the conservative / corn-servative ME!-dia was “clueless” on how to help the respected conservative Duncan Hunter in 2008!
Have to agree with Rush. No point in bashing Romney now but if we’re talking about republicans as a group ....
Rush was talking today about Obama telling that woman he would let her mother die .. and there was no outrage. He is dead on right (pun intended?)
Republicans have allowed insanely outrageous leftism to be accepted as mainstream, because imho they are both cowards and fools.
I’ve said this many times since 2006 - America could survive tyrants like the Marxofascists in the DNC and likewise America could survive a tyrant like Obama.
America CANNOT and WILL NOT Survive the host of fools (half the population) that put such tyrants into power over us.
Looking for a solution by voting for a politician into office is NOT going to stop nor even slow this juggernaut into tyranny. Yet that is where everyone’s attention is focused. So when we get another 2006, 2008, or SCOTUS disappointment like last week - we slide further into despair and again look to vain hope without tackling the root cause and needed action to rectify where we have arrived.
I’m convinced that most Americans have absolutely no clue what time it is, and I think Rush and some others are slowly waking up to recognize this - which is why you are hearing twangs of despair in their countenance. The consequences of what has already been done and cannot be undone are beginning to fester in their minds.
We have been betrayed and will continue to be betrayed. And why not? We betrayed the Trust Providence placed in us to maintain ourselves in religion and morality. So we look to men to solve a moral calamity in our culture that we left to rot by years of lukewarm indifference and compromise with sin. So our faith in men becomes prominent in our minds to save us, which is in itself - a sin in accordance with scripture and what our Founders themselves wrote about the role of morality in maintaining liberty. Meanwhile we look to men and parties of men to save us, and we ourselves create a recipe for more of the same that we are suffering.
There is no way to stop where we are going on current course. The two solutions that remain are both so abhorrent and repulsive to most - that they will never happen. We cannot even agree on the definition of liberty as intended. How can we stand together against those waging war on it?
Only God can save us now - and why should He?
Rush ought to talk
All he did was makes excuses for the wimp GOP from the day the took congress in 94 all the way through the Bush administration
Callers would plead with him to get on the GOP to grow a spine and all he did was chastise them
They’re not clueless they’re PC. WHO dreams up PC? WHO is never held to PC “standards”. PC is radiocontrol from the inside (so they don’t even have to trouble themselves to work the little control box).
I have been a Rush fan since he was on the air in Sacremento many years ago, and still will be. However, Rush makes the all to common mistake of lumping Republicans and Conservatives in the same basket. The Republican Party's rank and file are NOT repeat NOT conservative in the main. They haven't been for quite some time now, in my most humble of opinions. Especially not when it comes to strict adherence to the Constitution.
That reason compelled me to re-register for voting as "un-affilitated" back in 1998.
Rush's conclusion, however, is correct the Republic is continuing to spiral "down the tubes", at an ever increasing velocity.
Two people I mostly blame: Sen McConnell and Rep Bohner. Worthless to Republicans, priceless to Democrats!
