RUSH: Kansas City. Betty, hi. Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here. Hello.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I was reading the website, and I think that someone said this yesterday, but I was driving down the road, and you were saying we're just missing something on the amnesty bill, why in the world would Republicans support something that will cause their party to lose in the future. And I was just thinking, well, they'll just become the Democrats -- now, I'm probably being reactionary, but I'm thinking, they'll probably just become the Democrats that they are already are. I am so disappointed in my party. I expect to disagree with the Democrat Party. But I disagree with my party. I'm a Republican, or at least I thought I was.
RUSH: Hold it just a second. I'm serious. I don't understand. There's gotta be something I'm missing. The question is real: Why do all of these Republicans -- you know the names -- why are they supporting something that's gonna eliminate their party? Why are they supporting something that's going to render them an ineffective minority for as far as the eye can see? If they want to be Democrats, quit the Republican Party and join the Democrat Party. Why do they want -- it's almost as though -- well, I can't answer it. It doesn't make any sense to me.

RUSH: So why are the Republicans so eager to render themselves a permanent minority status by agreeing to amnesty, immigration reform, which is gonna result in millions more instant new Democrats, against which the Republicans will be hopelessly uncompetitive. Why would they do it? You want to take a stab? Snerdley says they see that they're gonna be permanently defeated anyway by a rising Hispanic population if they don't do this. It's what they fear. Maybe.
There's a theory, there's an answer to the question that you know and I know, and it revolves around their hatred -- too strong a word -- the Republican Party is embarrassed of its base. How many times have I sat here and reminded you of this? The Republican Party, I've told you stories. I'll repeat one. Hamptons, 1992, 1993. My first ever trip to the Hamptons, a dinner party at the home of a famous American, Republican. After dinner, out on the deck, a guy comes up to me -- a name you'd know. Not gonna tell you who -- punches me with his finger in the chest, "What are you gonna do about the Christians?"
Remember, now, this my first trip there. I'm with these people for the first time in my life, and I'm really sizing it all up and wondering why I'm really there. I mean, these are very wealthy, powerful Republicans. This guy's pounding me in the chest, "What are you gonna do about the Christians?" I said, "What are you talking about?" "Abortion! They're killing us! Pro-lifers are killing us, and they listen to you." Some of the same people have done the same thing to me on gun control. "You have got to tell these people to back off on guns. You've got to tell these pro-lifers to just quiet down."
I've heard them say they get embarrassed going to Republican conventions with the pro-life crowd that's also there. My first experience of that was in Houston in 1992. The pro-life contingent there was huge, and I remember the way I was treated by that group, making other Republicans nervous. The bottom line is that the Republican Party is embarrassed by its own base. The Republican Party is ashamed of its base. They accept the Democrat caricature of the Republican base. Southern, hayseed hicks, pro-lifers, pickup-truck-driving, gun-rack-in-the-back-window people, chewing tobacco and going to church and talking about God all the time.
But they really see 'em as a bunch of zealots when it comes to abortion. And all these guys I'm talking about have wives who nag 'em about it, don't want any part of the pro-life crowd, embarrassed to be with them at the conventions. So the theory goes that this is a way to get rid of the Republican base. Supporting amnesty and having the Democrats win big-time elections after this is a way for the party to finally get rid of its base. Now, you say, "Well, replace it with what?"
Don't ask me, but I'm guessing, I assume that some Republicans think that there's a new group of people that would become their base. If they just got rid of these pro-lifers, if they just got rid of this religious crowd, if they just got rid of the Christians, if they just got rid of these gun nuts, the bitter clingers, as Obama calls 'em. If the Republicans just got rid of those people, a lot more people would like Republicans, and maybe some of the people voting Democrat would then vote Republican, 'cause some of the people voting Democrat would love to vote Republican since they also don't like the hicks and they also don't like the hayseeds and the religious people.
There you have a possible theory. But even when you drill that down, when you drill deep down into that one, you still ask how in the world -- the Republican base is 24 million votes. The Republicans aren't gonna win anything without them. That was demonstrated in 2008. It was demonstrated in 2012. It was demonstrated in 1992, and it was demonstrated in 1996. You don't win without them. So if they drive their current base away, what is the current base gonna do? Just sit there and not participate anymore?
How is voting for amnesty going to cause the base to leave the party? Isn't it gonna maybe inspire the base to want to finally take it over? There will be some third-party advocates, but if that happens the Republicans are dead, double dead politically, if a third party forms. But it is believable and understandable that the Republican establishment and their consultants and all that really don't like a lot of the base. They don't like conservatives, be they Christians, be they pro-lifers, be they so-called gun nuts. They didn't like Reagan, as you know.

RUSH: I suspect, ladies and gentlemen, the answer to my question, aside from the brilliant expose I just provided, the answer to my question is all about money. And so the answer to why would these people sit by and allow this party to become a permanent minority status and be insignificant and ineffective, to answer that question, find out how in that arrangement a bunch of people get rich, and you will get the answer to your question. And if you want, we'll explore that next week. I'll be more than happy to take a tour down that theory, see where it takes us.

They are a single organization that controls our government.
Right. And why do we continue to allow this?
Our leaders, from the President on down, lead by OUR CONSENT.
So, half of us, the lazy, shiftless libs and their spawn, like this government?
It does not matter! They are too stupid to consent to nothing but their own demise.....why should we have to be pulled down with them ? /rant
~ can't say it enough, Thomas Jefferson figured out how to win in America ~ he won some races with well over 60% of the vote!
He even destroyed at least 5 other competing parties.
Not once did he try to import more Mexicans to bolster his turnout. Aaron Burr, his VP, did want to import Mexicans!! ~ if you want to look at what he was up to in modern terms.
Jefferson taught that you develop a following and get them to the polls to vote. He also taught that you bad mouth the opposition ~ there are no good guys on the other side.
Once you begin to see American electoral politics in terms of the big picture of interlocking single-member districts and the bi-modal saddle, you'll never go back to the erroneous conclusions of the 'normal curve' ~ 'cause there ain't one ~ never was ~ this is not France in 1791.
Right now, the biggest enemy of a political (peaceful) solution to the American crisis is the Republican Party, and the sooner it is destroyed the sooner a pro-American political movement can move to take power.
Would take any republican that is in fact a republican to LEAVE the republican party.. NOW...
LEAVE.. dont drop off the key Lee, make a new plan Stan.. JUST LEAVE.. harshly.. change registration..
The voter fraud is so massive it will make no difference anyway what you vote for or against.
MASS EXODUS... is the only way... else be a lemming..
Republican Lemmings are on the March.. to the sea..
Are you a Lemming?.. well then.. March you rodent!..
The democrats QWN the FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, EPA, the Military and a plethora of other busy body federal entities..
They will release them only when their cold dead hands are severed from their bodies..
MARCH!!!.. or change your registration..
I’m a clinger to “”stuff” too.
Fat Guy in L.A., you already know this but it merits saying to the masses out there...... I have said it before and I’ll say it again..... THIS IS A BATTLE BEING FOUGHT BETWEEN THE FORCES OF GOOD AND EVIL. Satan’s time is drawing towards the close and he is pulling out all the stops to prolong it. America is the last bastion of Christianity. Satan needs for America to fall to the heathen and he thinks he can pull that off.
Notice how the article speaks of the present Republican party being embarrassed by people “going to church and talking about God all the time.” That is Satan leading the weak (RINO’s for example)to turn their back on true Christians and to meld the two parties into essentially one.
But we can trust that even AS A MINORITY we can still persevere if we trust in Christ. But as the scripture tells us, we need to pray and all the while uphold God’s laws and values. And my personal view..... we can loose the battle, but we will win the war, because if God intends for this to be the last chance, then he will Rapture His Church into heaven before allowing the world to sink into evil and then oblivion.
I pray that we have time to overturn this and pull out of this nightmare.... restore America and thus our Grand children’s happy lives, but if not then, I am ready.... ARE YOU?
Maranantha (Come Lord Jesus!)
>>No, the GOP cannot have achieved failure so spectacular by means of mere incompetence: they are complicit.
That is the only explanation. Anyone who still believes that there are two parties is just plain dumb.
K street owns the GOP and most of the RNC and Dnc !
Big Ag , large grocery store chains and billionaires like Adelson owns all these GOP senators .
Adelson owned Newt and kept him in the primary to help him split the conservative vote and help Romney win .
Coruyn from Tx is owned by that huge Tx grocery store HEB and Grahamnesty lives at Hess Oil headquarters !
Boehner is a drunk and a K street bag boy.
They hate us and could care less .
I doubt they even think about us, except in relation to what they can say to pull the wool over our eyes. It's all about self-promotion for these guys.
I think Boehner and the rest of the leadership were genuinely terrified by 2010. That forced them to "think about us".
The only problem is, what they thought was, "Better form a coalition with Obama before these Christians and gun nuts screw EVERYTHING up".
Because they love money more than their own soul.
The top Republicans are Globalists and they serve the Globalist Agenda. If the Party becomes a permanent minority the leaders will still have their positions and if the party folds they will become Democrats or get a million dollar a year no show job with some Globalist Corporation, so really, what do they care.
Because when you get to DC, the artificial standard of living makes you think nothing could hurt the country. So they in their heart don’t see any danger and they’re not going to lose their political gravy train jobs because, what else would they do?
“Im ready to change my party affiliation to I.”
I did that the day they re-elected the orange menace as speaker.
If conservatives are going to have a voice we need to have the Tea Party.
TOADY SEZ:
'TO GET ALONG GO ALONG'
It's not too difficult to see, at least for myself, that the GOP-e has been bought off and are happy to cooperate to reach some unknown goal that will not be revealed until it is irreversible.
There's my conspiracy theory for Father's Day! :)
I’m mystified that so many don’t make the connection to the Globalist New World Order predicted in end time scriptures. This is what is going on in our nations politics.. Yes, the two parties are engaged in the overthrow of the US. Those who snicker need to go to the CFR website and start reading. This is why we must unite to take back the Republican Party! The only thread left of our desires is the 2014 elections. No more of the Utopian 3rd Party nonsense. It won’t happen. It can’t happen.
No more sitting out elections and refusing to vote! Silence is consent! It isn’t a protest, it is petty and shallow thinking.
Please people, join the TEA movement and help us overthrow these globalists in control of the Republican Party! That is the only path left to us.
TEA is the only grassroots group that has made significant changes!
Because when we are all enslaved- they want to be invited to the Cocktail parties to rub body parts with the hookers.
“TEA is the only grassroots group that has made significant changes!”
Bullseye! Please show up in DC on the 19th and show that the TEA Party is still a force to recon with!
It is time for the Tea Party. We separate from the GOP and get rid of the moderates once and for all.
