Excerpt: Rush on Romney quote: "He'll Roll Back...Liberalism"
Rush Limbaugh radio program transcript ^ | Jan. 13, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/14/2012 8:13:02 AM PST by citizen

--snip--

CALLER: Oh, yeah, we got bulldoze him. [Romney] He's gotta know there is no safe haven. If he's gonna represent the Republican ticket then he's gonna have to --

RUSH: Let me tell you something I heard him say --

CALLER: All right.

RUSH: -- that I don't know that he's said publicly. He said, if he wins, he thinks he'll only last one term.

CALLER: Now, are you talking about Obama or are you talking about Romney?

RUSH: He says that he is going to roll back all the stuff the left has done. He's gonna ban Obamacare. He's gonna fix Medicaid. He's gonna take on Social Security. He says, (paraphrasing) "I've got four years to save this country, and if I succeed I'm gonna be so hated, I may not get reelected."

CALLER: Well, I'll tell you what --

RUSH: And what he means by that is the media and the left is gonna come after him like crazy, because he is going to be taking on every one of their sacred cows.

Romney is a human weathervane, pointing wherever the political winds blow.

"Look! He's a liberal!"

[political headwinds blow right]

"Look! He's a conservative!"

Where will the political winds blow now?

**RUSH: He says that he is going to roll back all the stuff the left has done. He’s gonna ban Obamacare. He’s gonna fix Medicaid. He’s gonna take on Social Security. He says, (paraphrasing) “I’ve got four years to save this country, and if I succeed I’m gonna be so hated, I may not get reelected.”**

Why does Rush say these things.

Let me fix it:

He’ll keep going with the stuff the left has done. He’ll install Romneycare instead of Obamacare. He won’t touch social Security or medicaid. And, yes, you will be hated.

What is wrong with Rush to be backing Romney? Anyone have the answer?

“Comments like those above from a conservative stalwart like Rush Limbaugh are heartening.”

They indicate to me the fix is in. Romney will ratify the leftist direction of the last years of Bush 2 and the Obama administration.

I am beginning to think Romney will win. A new injection of sedative on a restive population is needed. Go back to sleep. All is well. Trust me.

Beware folks: the Romney machine is active and beginning to rear its ugly, deceptive head right here on FR.

GOP to Freepers: "Let's go, conservatives, get behind your candidate! Shine his shoes! You know you'll come around eventually!"

“Gads, what has Rush been smoking?”

A powerful narcotic called “access”.

“Oh yeah, he just loved McCain didn’t he?”

Who said anything about love? Rush eventually jumped on the McCain bandwagon too.

Amen to that.

“With this election.. I am not voting for Obama...i know some of you will be indirectly”

I assume you are referring to Mitt Romney supports.

"...but still Romney sucks the most."

But yet, Obama sucks even more.

Doesn’t matter....if Romney is the nominee, you get four more years of Obama, anyway.

We can hope they are, Romney does not belong in Republican politics at all, he knew that when he left the party because of Reagan being elected.

When conservatism got a champion and was on the ascendancy, Romney turned to the Democrat party and started supporting them and fund raising for them and their cause.

Romney is the anti-conservative, and now he wants to become it's leader and chief policy shaper, and steer it into a future that reflects his agenda and goals for America.

Romney type goals: "That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."

I guess you are one of the folks that loved it when Gingrich posed with Nancy Pelosi, or maybe you and Ginggrich both endorsed Dede Scozzafava in NY23, assuring a Democrat victory taking away a conservative Republican seat in the House, or maybe along with Gingrich, you also bad mouthed Paul Ryam and his conservative budget plan. or maybe you can join Newt as he panders to James Clyburn and the CBC!!! Right on!!!

Um, and Romney's not really a candidate Republicans can support, so what's your point? A fake image for a fake candidate.

Why don't you just put your cards on the table, JLAGRAYFOX? Reading through your posts, you assert time and time again that you are NOT a Romney supporter. Yet you make the following prediction:

Mitt Romney is going to win the Pubbie nominee slot, easily, made so....by these two hateful, emotional and envious people!!! Oh.....Romney and Ron Paul will get along just fine, and....Romney will go on to win the POTUS slot!!!

Sounds like that's something you'd very much like to see. So what's the real deal? Are you a Romneybot, despite all your assurances to the contrary?

Apparently at least a few Republicans seem to be supporting him. I think honesty is the best approach for those who want to defeat him.

If he gets the nomination it will be 2008 all over again. Both here and in the election returns.
