The Dismaying RINO Co-opting Of Rush Limbaugh

The purpose of recent articles about RINO Speaker John Boehner and his supporters was to make clear that the biggest problem conservative voters face is betrayal by candidates who lie about what they will do if elected. Because the United States leans conservative, RINO conservative poseurs have the greatest need to lie in order to win elections. Apparently, this is still not clear.

On April 14, Rush Limbaugh effusively praised an egregious phony, Marco Rubio. The next day, Limbaugh astonishingly defended that praise with toxic acquiescence in preemptive surrender to contempt for the Constitution and rule of law.

[Lester Jackson]

Conservatives are almost benumbed by the bad faith of those who deliver “powerful messages.” Nevertheless, the primary 2016 goal of conservatives must be to seek the candidate who is least likely to betray them. It is to be expected that anyone seeking the Republican presidential nomination will at least repeat conservative lines. But that should be just a start. It is much more important to find someone with a record of honesty and integrity. Not just important, but critical — critical because the next election will probably be the last chance to repel the relentless march toward complete leftist tyranny.

Lester, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, I note with interest that this is the first post you’ve made since you registered back in 2012. So, I’m compelled to ask “Whose basement are you operating out of, precisely?”

I wouldn't think so.. unless one wanted a way to avoid blogger scrutiny.

But hey, he could just be a confused n00b with good intentions.

Sorry, but I heard Limaugh's show during the Rubio comments. 1) Rush has effusively praised the CONSERVATIVE elements of every person who has announced so far. He praised Rand Paul's concerns about the national security state, he praised Cruz's staunch opposition to Obamacare, and he praised Fiorina's terrific attacks on Clinton. So he was entirely consistent in praising Rubio's "What I owe America" speech and contrasting it with Zero's "What America owes me." 2) Rush has consistently for years stayed away from picking candidates in primaries.

GOP and conservative pundits would be smart to emulate Rush: focus on Hillary/Zero/Dems and point out when ANY candidate does that, and stop sniping at GOP candidates. The primary voters will handle that.

Exception: I don't think I have ever heard Rush cite anything Huckabee says, but then, I can't either.

I agree with you. Rush doesn’t pick candidates in the primaries, except for Operation Chaos in 2008. He praises conservatism and trashes liberalism in candidates and others.

Many of the GOP candidates have conservative creds, and none of them are perfect. If we’re looking for a politician who is always perfectly conservative in everything he/she does, we’ll be looking for a long time, and we would be ignoring the realities of elected office.

Can I hear an Amen?

Ted Cruz 2016

Wow 2012 and this is your first post. Hmmm.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Anytime anybody does something conservative they are going to get an “atta boy” from Rush. For the most part he stays out of the selection process.

Lester! Old pal, old sock, old bean!

[Bigg Red]

Blog pimping is so unattractive.

Took Lester a couple of years to figger out how to get control of an account.

I know it took me quite a while to figure that out too.

But then someone “enlightened me.”
