RUSH: And you enjoyed it for all the reasons that you've mentioned. But we've gotta be really, really careful here, Dana, about this left versus right government thing. You mentioned third party, and we've been through this with Perot.
CALLER: I know that. I know that. And I think Perot helped Clinton get in, I don't doubt that. I do believe there has to be a huge movement before people can vote that way.
RUSH: But a third party is not going to do anything other but ensure the reelection of Obama and every other Democrat running for office because even if you come up with a charismatic third-party presidential candidate, still isn't going to have anybody of any significance running in that party for seats in Congress of the US Senate unless this movement happened to become the majority movement in the country, and that's not what's happening. I respectfully disagree with you here. I understand the anger at the Republican Party. Hell, I've got it, too. I've had it for a long, long time. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is not a left versus right thing. This is a conservative ascendancy that's going on out there. You didn't show up and protest like this when the Republicans were in power.

If a (another)RINO is run for President the Republican Party is already worthless..
I'm still thinking about RINO Sens or Reps.. Hmmmmm...
If they make the wrong move.. "NO VOTE FOR YOU"..
I'm beginning to become the VOTE NAZI..
Well said, sir.
Just wait until another RINO gets nominated by Iowa and New Hampshire in 2012.
By the time election day rolls around, we'll be told to shut up and get in line behind the candidate or clear out of FR.
Just like in 2008 and in 2000.
One thing we all need to do when we can, is to support conservative candidates in other districts and states.
For instance, I recently (as many others did!), donated to Rep Joe Wilson’s campaign in South Carolina. I also made a donation to a young conservative named Adam Kinzinger (Candidate US Congress IL-11) campaign.
I know things are tough, but if we want to rid our party of RINO’s, we’re going to have to try and help as many conservative candidates in other states/districts as we can.
Sorry RINO’s, you can leave the GOP, we’re not going anywhere!
Rush is right. It’s happens - - a lot...
I’ve got news for you: McCain is a Democrat in Republican clothing.
Very true, but McCain will never leave the GOP on his own. The reason he stays in the GOP is so he can hold on to his “Maverick” title. As we all know, when the term “Maverick” is applied to McLame, it means screwing the Republican Party!
If McLame were to leave the GOP and join the Dems, he would be just another Democrat...like Arlen Specter. McLame craves the adoration of the MSM and the Dems. No, he gets far to much traction from screwing his own party!
There has to be some conservative to run against McLame?? If I hear of one, I’ll definately send them a campaign donation.
“I never said I voted against my principles, so do not presume anything about me and do not lecture me.”
Likewise, then.
By the way, what principles held by McCain do you share?
Now it's true there are some in the GOP who would stand up against it. They are Republicans who would get my contributions and my vote.
But none of the compromisers in the GOP will ever get either, no matter how bad the alternative.
If those are the realistic choices, then yes.
I would have backed Nixon vs McGovern also, wouldn’t you ?
But they are indeed “observations about human nature”.
They are also the assumptions behind all the assertions made in the Declaration and many (but certainly not all) of those underlying the Constitution.
The Constitution is an interesting document. In many ways its the most Burkean thing there is that was not actually written by Burke. It is chock-full of protections against the defects of human nature that were among the underlying factors the founders kept foremost in their minds. This pessimism about mankind is not in the Declaration, but its in the Constitution in heaps.
Getting back to the thread... it's sort of like Limbaugh saying he still wants to advance conservatism while a few short months ago, he supported that socialist Romney. A man whose proudest achievement in Massachusetts is exactly what that Marxist is about to ram down throats of the entire country.
“If those are the realistic choices, then yes.”
A “choice” means there’s some difference.
“I would have backed Nixon vs McGovern also, wouldn’t you ?”
Not for his 2nd term, at least.
SIGH. There you go again.
I voted for SARAH, with full knowledge that longevity runs in the "Wright" side of McCain's family.
Anything would have been better than the Marxist pig we now have squatting in our White House.
“I voted for SARAH, with full knowledge that longevity runs in the “Wright” side of McCain’s family.”
Palin would’ve had no input into anything in a McCain Administration - and McCain’s still kicking.
You’re absolutely right.
What do you call that?
I will second that statement. The GOP has destroyed itself. It doesn't need any effort at all to point it out. Republicans posing as Conservatives hate to be faced with the truth... Truth which is self evident, and has been predicted reliably by those of us they call "purists" and "1%ers". It is a badge of honor for me.
Do not vote for "the most conservative". Vote only for "The Conservative". Nothing else will do.
