Steve Schmidt: GOP must muzzle Rush Limbaugh
Politico ^

Posted on 11/06/2012 10:58:51 PM PST by Windy City Conservative

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said early Wednesday morning on MSNBC that it’s time for Republican leaders to stand up to “extreme statements” and “nonsense” coming from within the GOP, including Rush Limbaugh.

“Now, people calling for revolution and these extreme statements — when I talk about a civil war in the Republican Party, what I mean is, it’s time for Republican elected leaders to stand up and to repudiate this nonsense, and to repudiate it directly,” Schmidt said.

Rush is a good guy. Not his fault Romney lost. He wanted Bachmann like I did and nobody went for her in the primaries. If we ran things like him we’d win. Romney is too moderate.

Rush needs to learn not to take stinky bait like the Sandra Fluke thing and then doubling down

GOP you go to f’ing hell. Rush is going to be a very very valuable voice in the years to come. I hope he lives in a fortress. Rush can be jokingly pompous but his take is indispensable to me and many others.

Conservative radio will be illegal. It’ll be against the law to say anything bad about Islam. These are just two things that will happen and the people will accept them.

Oh yes, it is time for the RINOs to solidify their grasp on the party by blaming conservatives for the loss of a liberal against a liberal..

What a shock. It’s not the RINO after RINO being nominated that’s the problem, it’s the conservatives who’ve spoken against the liberal agenda.

Like a broken clock, they’re almost always wrong.

what does he think, we’re going to go out to petsmart and purchase a muzzle and put it on him? And for what reason? Ican see none.

And as for operation Chaos, Hillary would have been worse. she’d have had credibility as she is an American, for one.

Two, she is better at all of this than BO is.

Three, She’d never go away. she isn’t now.

Rush other talk radio hosts defended Romney more than establishment pundits that wanted Romney to be the nominee

They ran the squishy middle former governor of lefty Massachusetts who helped inspire Obamacare, but the lost because there was still some conservative somewhere saying controversial things. These guys would never get past the first hole in a round of golf. “The sun was in my eyes...You coughed in my backswing...my ball wasn’t clean enough...that bird looked at my funny.”

Steve, this was your candidate. This was the guy you sandbagged Sarah Palin for. If he’d won, and I’ll be honest, I thought he made a damned good run at it once he got the nomination, and I thought he looked incredibly good to win it, maybe I’d give a crap what you think. But now...eh, no.

Okay, but what did Fluke amount to? One round to the lefties. Big whoop. If you think she had anything to do with Obama’s win I have a bridge to sell you.

You know, you can only tell folks what’s good for them. You can’t make them comprehend or accept it.

It’s not Rush’s fault.

The people of this nation are going to learn the lesson the hard way. Obama is going to continue spending, continue infringing on our rights, destroying our military...

When the people who voted him in again, are begging in the streets because he has destroyed this nation, perhaps they’ll think back. More likely they’ll blame everyone else, like the ‘used to be rich’ they helped destroy.

This nation is headed for a big fall. Prepare for the worst, because this guy is going to deliver that on a platter to one and all.

Glenn Beck found he had beef with Fox News and left. He created his network and fled to Texas. He has his flaws, but he is a good man for laying it all on the line.

I’d say the problems is more with having rino candidates than anything else. But I think some on the right did not do enough to help Bachmann, Santorum or Gingrich get over the finish line.
