No problem there, Jimmy. There aren't any actual Republicans in Congress.LOL!
That was my thought exactly.
Yeah, let's take the advice of our demonrat friends and muzzle Rush in order to save the congressional "Republicans".
Oh yeah. There's an idea.
NOT!
Yes, think this will be ‘Rush’s outreach to Dems’ thanks to ‘rahmobama’.
The exact quote I was thinking :-). Glad you made it available. This is exactly how I feel. When certain low people win they are cocky and if they get too cocky they inevitably take a punch that delivers back to them their fatal blow.
There have been some bone headed moves by Limbaugh in the past but this one is exponentially more dangerous.
Dems will never catch on. Rush is a conservative, not a Republican unless the GOP adopts and practices conservative principles. Clueless Dems. A conservative will rattle the cages of fellow conservatives if they get off track, not just march in lockstep with them.
That fact is about to come down on US like a ten ton weight.
Don't be caught looking down.
Precisely why he should never be labeled as the leader of the GOP.
Hey Rodney ... Rodney King ... Is that you?
There are scads of people out there who have never listened to Rush and who take their opinion of him from the mainstream media.I work in an office in NYC, full of liberals, of course. One of them is always playing AirAmerica/Pacifica/DemocracyNow crap on his computer, booming it out over big speakers.
The other day a couple of people said they'd like to hear Rush's CPAC speech so this Top Leftist dude keys up the program but before Rush even begins to speak, before the introduction of Rush is even over, Top Leftist dude says "I can't listen to this gas bag" and turns it off.
I saw the look on his face when he did it. It was pure fear. Fear of actually having to THINK.
And he was having none of it.
It was a very revealing moment.
And you're playing right into their hands.
And just what would those boneheaded moves be by Rush in the past?
You mean, like fighting back when President Clinton blamed him for the Oklahoma City bombing?
You mean, like fighting the bogus charges of drug shopping by the Palm Beach DA?
You mean, like exposing the Democrat communist agenda for the last 16 years?
You mean, by fighting back when the President of the United States tries attack you and undermine your work of 20 years by telling people not to listen to him?
Yeah, that’s real dangerous of the man.
Rush speaks for millions when he articulates what Conservatism is, something the GOP can even talk about without rank hypocrisy.
And just how big is your radio audience, Cedric?
When was the last time you put your neck on the line for anything?
I’m not ready to say the Republican Party is dead or dying. I’m not ready to say we need a new party.
I do know we need a new Republican Party.
It’s time for all of us to only vote for Republicans who are actual Republicans and if none are running in an election we should all definitely vote 3rd party, to show the cruds who run the RNC that our votes are out there, and that we are ready to come “home” if there’s ever a home to return to.
Right now, in many jurisdictions, there simply isn’t.
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
The thing about Marxists is, while they are fierce and ruthless in their attacks, they never deviate from the playbook, whether Mao's Little Red Book or Alinsky's rules for radicals. Read their books, and you got them beat.
He jumps back and forth from “My first address to the nation” wisecracks to “I don't want to lead the GOP.”
The last damn thing any organization needs is a defacto leader who has no operational responsibility.
Wake-up!
Cedric: if you quit being nervous in the service for a second you’d realize that this is an opportunity to really settle what the GOP stands for.
Are we milquetoast RINOs?
Or rock-ribbed conservatives?
One answer has the opportunity to save this country, and we’d better get off the fence before it splits us.
If the GOP had the same ratio of "boneheaded moves" to successes that Rush has, you'd be having less trouble going from thread to thread trying to stamp out the resentment that is smoldering amongst many of us former (and current) Republicans.
Mr. niteowl77
If the GOP does not make huge gains in 2010, they are done as a political party.
That’s the cold hard truth.
They will be forever in the minority after that.
Obama and his crowd are seeing to that, and the American taxpayer is paying for it to happen.
We can see that byt ehir actions, from Steele on down, that they don’t get it—they are in the fight for their survival.
If the GOP does not reverse the trend by next year’s election, they will got the way of the Whig Party they replaced in the 1850s.
Conservatives will desert in droves and start a new party.
We don’t stick with losers.
Get real.
