Rush Limbaugh: Reality Just Setting in for Democrats

The Democrats want no part of being perceived in shutting down the Senate on a debate about national security, but can I tell you the truth? The truth is they care more about the judges than they care about Iran. They care more about the judges than they do national security. They care far more about it. This business of the courts, it is central to them. I'll tell you why. Even if they continue to lose elections, if they can keep the court predominantly liberal, the appellate courts and the district courts, if they can keep those courts predominantly liberal, they will have insurance against losing elections.

I believe that if the left had its way, they would eventually come up with a way for the judiciary to do away with elections and they would just retain all power.

Good rant today. I hope his optimistic view of things is right. Sometimes we tend to get a little negative about the state of affairs, but I suspect that's just the constant drumbeat from the press getting to us.

IMHO Rush proved during his program today, yet again, that he is an American treasure.

If the Democrats were b*tch-slapped in the face, they still won't recognize reality. They're America's Ostrich Party.

The Dems have squandered an awful lot of political capital over what amounts to a fairly marginal issue of some federal judges. I don't really get it. Not that judges aren't important... of course they are and especially now.

But... there's going to be bigger issues for them to spend their treasure on and maybe fairly soon. By the time a supreme court nomination comes along, they'll be played out as obstructionist and they'll have a harder time getting any traction.

I think.

I pray the Republicans have the guts to do what must be done to preserve the nation from our out-of-control federal judiciary. I am an Ohioan, I've written my two wavering political scum-mongers - my letters were not insulting, but indeed were angry - and they better show more support for the President!

[Soul Seeker]

I'm not so sure of that.

They were shocked on Nov. 2nd. Shook to the core. They managed to delve into denial to deal with their loss, but if they lose the Courts it's going to flush them back into reality. Matthews has even spent the last two nights telling them they are in this position because they LOST, and that they need to win elections to choose judges. Timeout, I believe, made the point matthews is doing what they did during Impeachment. Realizing the Dems have overdrawn themselves and trying to convince the public this has gone on long enough. To compromise and move on. To save the Democrats, but the point is that Matthews has woken to the fact the Dems are the minority. If the press has awaken to that fact, the Dems cannot be far behind.

I do believe they lose this they'll become more extreme. we haven't begun to see how low they can go when reality is no longed able to be buried.

[goldstategop]

I'd like nothing better than to see them slide so far to the Left they're unelectable in most of the country and be well on their way to becoming as extinct as the dodo. Now that's facing reality!

"I believe that if the left had its way, they would eventually come up with a way for the judiciary to do away with elections and they would just retain all power."

They're obviously working on it:
why else would it be so important to them to retain a lock on the judiciary?

[lawdude]

I used to think Rush was a true analytical genius. Then, I realized he merely echoed my thoughts and beliefs. Well, since I ain't no genius, either is he. He is Mr. Mainstream, Ms. Flyover or Ms. home school mom.

He is us! Just listen to him for a week any you will agree.

No doubt that Rush Limbaugh is the most astute political analyst in America. He is right over 95% of the time, and that is really amazing.

[alwaysrepublican]

Just read the DUmmies and you know how delusional and insane the liberals are. The Dummies are not a minority fringe in the Democrat party, they are the heart, the soul, and the mind of the liberal Democrat party. That is why the liberal Democrat party is DEAD.

I agree. Rush is #1.

Rush is the best! God bless you, Rush.

Frist is doing exactly what needs to be done. There are times when you can't afford to let your opposition walk away claiming a victory. This is one of those times. Pray for solidarity. This will take nerve and strength.This will be a huge long term win.

[Bullish]

If the left had its way the whole world would turn into the USSR writ large.

Starting with America.

[ErnBatavia]

Rush proved during his program today, yet again, that he is an American treasure.

Yes, his thoughts and words are to be treasured...but, for whatever reason, his bombastic voice and style have begun to irritate me, almost as much as that clown that does the "KABOOM" commercials on the cable TV stations....

[Ramius]

Oh, I completely agree. My comment was directed at why the *dems* seem to think this is the time to spend so much of *their* political capital. That's what I don't get.

[KateatRFM]

No, the world would turn into Canada -- a country without a direction, which has just embraced with relief a dictator with both hands in the cookie jar, and breathed a sign of relief and gone back to preparing for the long weekend. Don't ask a Canadian to stand up for anything. He can't stand up. HE HAS NO BACKBONE.

They don't care what happens up here as long as they keep on being promised more goodies.
