Rush Limbaugh: Do You Want to Go To War with Senate GOP as Your Army?

I have a very soul-of-wit way to sum up my last point with a previous caller, and that is this. For all of you -- and I'm one of you -- that want to go to war and want this fight, and you want to nail the libs. If you want to go to war, do you want the Senate Republicans to be your army? That may well be the question that the White House asks itself. All right, if we go to war, do we want these people on the Senate, on our side, to be our army? Are these the warriors that we're going to hit the battlefield with?

It's very sad that Rush had to make this point, but it is the absolute truth.

[Kryptonite]

The irony is that the Senate GOP isn't going to fight as hard for this pick as it did for Roberts.

Which explains why we the people will get screwed by the politicians once again. <P. Remember professional politicians are the slavers of the current day.

If you want to go to war, do you want the Senate Republicans to be your army?

With enough angry conservatives behind them and beating on marginal Democrats in fear of losing their seats, it beats the alternative of losing without putting up a fight.

[Blue Turtle]

Agreed!

[Cedric]

I'm glad we have Rush out there to articulate the Conservative view point in stark, unfliching, agressive terms.
However, when it comes to "real world" politics most of his suggestions are laughable.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

It's kind of depressing to have 55 Republicans in the Senate but barely a dozen sets to go around.

[GregoTX]

Once again Rush is right. After the way the Rino McCain pulled that "comprimise" to avoid using the consitutional option that would have stopped the fillibuster, I dont trust Senate Republicans to fight the good fight. We cant depend of the RINO's in the Senate. The nomination should be no suprise when we see who will fight the battles if it was a tough fight.

[quantim]

I don't buy it.

Rush's point was valid, yet he never reasoned it.  I wouldn't trust a republican senator (see RINO) any more than a dem these days.

Why he was trying to put the onus on the majority escapes me at this moment.

There is not a shortage of qualified candidates.  I'll guess he is sorting out the difference between the battle and the war.

[ovrtaxt]

I never did figure out why "shutting the government down" in 95, 96 (?) was such an earth shattering offensive technique.

THAT's what stopped the conservative offensive under Newt? My confidence in the GOP started to erode 10 years ago. It's been downhill ever since.

[goldstategop]

Just my thinking.... when you subtract the RINOs, there's not enough room to thread a conservative with a looooooong paper trail through. And right now, the President can't afford a fight that takes time and attention from the rest of his agenda. Politics is the art of the possible. He has both the Democrats and the RINOs guessing. I call that the move of a master poker player. Again, the Democrats and their special interest groups will do a lot of research, they'll try to pull up dirt but they can't find anything. That's got to enrage Ralph Neas and Norman Lear. This isn't what they were geared up to battle.

It's kind of depressing to have 55 Republicans in the Senate but barely a dozen sets to go around.

Agreed, but still beats 45 with only 6 pairs to go around... Frist may grow a pair now that he needs W's help.

[dufekin]

Frist soon will go to jail for insider trading. He's already been accused in the media; a sentencing soon will follow, then an arrest, an indictment, and a conviction (or acquittal, but the sentence still shall stand).

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

All right, if we go to war, do we want these people on the Senate, on our side, to be our army? Are these the warriors that we're going to hit the battlefield with?

Rush has a point, I don't like it, but he does have a point.

If the seven hadn't swished when they could have swashed then maybe things would be different.

Rush Limbaugh: Do You Want to Go To War with Senate GOP as Your Army?

Only if I'm French. Years from now, McCain, Hagel, Snow, Colins and company will all be spinning tales of how THEY fought with the resistance.

[TAdams8591]

I was lucky enough to hear the first call and some of Rush's comments on my lunch break!

[KeyLargo]

I wonder about her.

She is a product of the 60s. What were her views during that time period?

[Pikamax]

"Rush Limbaugh: Do You Want to Go To War with Senate GOP as Your Army?"

No because in a bizarro way, the RINOs have gained a lot of power as the GOP got a majority. a lot of issues that should be going thru can't because of them.

[eeriegeno]

The irony is that the Senate GOP isn't going to fight as hard for this pick as it did for Roberts.

And exactly which GOP Senator fought for Roberts? Roberts made little people out of all of them, GOP and Dummycrats alike. I predict that Roberts is going to be good for our country!

"The only quota that there ought to be on the Supreme Court is the best jurists you can find that look at the Constitution for what it is, go find the original intent, do not look to bend it, shape it, flake it, form it, to accommodate modern depravity, and get all caught up in civil rights and human rights and all that."

Right on, Rush! El Rushbo really "gets it" -- again...

As a 'flintknapper', I especially appreciate the "flake it" term... '-)
