On Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh revisited his earlier remark about the Republican Party being embarrassed of its base. In an argument pegged off the immigration reform debate, Limbaugh said the GOP is “hanging by a thread,” willing to sacrifice a few more elections due to losing its base.
“People have said the country is hanging by a thread,” Limbaugh noted. “Well so is the party. The Republican Party is hanging by a thread.”
Some do realize it, he added, pointing to the idea that “they’re embarrassed of their base and wouldn’t mind at all if the base left the Republican Party, even if it meant losing a couple of elections.” It’s either embarrassment or dislike, he said, describing the “caricature” of the “gun-toting, shotgun-shooting, tobacco-spitting crowd.”
They wouldn’t be bothered if that crowd that makes up the base left them, the radio host reiterated. But there’s one problem with that: Who will make up for them? If they think the Gang of Eight immigration bill will pick up the slack, Limbaugh said, “they have got another thing coming.”
“You cannot out-liberal a liberal,” he stated emphatically.

I would like to see a strong minded conservative candidate plainly state that there have been 50 million abortions since it became legal. The Democrats love to pound their chests and loudly proclaim how they are so pro choice. Well let them brag about being pro choice after people have been given the facts about how many abortions have been performed. You don’t have to say anything more, just say, there have been 50 million abortions since it became legal.
Millions of voters will move away from the Democrats and the Democrats will be left in the lurch because they could not say anything against abortion because that would anger their Planned Parenthood base. Heeheehee.
How could we sterotype the democrats: the party of abortion, gay pride parades, out of control IRS, Benghazzi, 17 trillion dollar debt, endlessly growing government, “Don’t worry, be happy”, sanctuary cities, job losses to millions of illegal aliens, the party that brought Boston Marathon bombers to the US with the enticement of a $20,000 college scholarship and section 8 housing, Aunt Zetuni-another illegal alien parasite, the party of Obamacare which will be controlled by the IRS, the party of the Obamaphone, the party of 47% on government benefits and growing.
They are both three dummies when it comes to immigration.
I don’t like the way that Robertson, Dobbs and Huckabee throw their weight behind an issue like illegal immigration as if Jesus would have wanted amnesty for the illegals. That is NOT Christian, that is just lunacy. This country is for OUR children and it is our moral responsibility that they will live in a free and decent country.
If the GOP is going down, then it better be RIGHT NOW, and the Tea Party better start RIGHT NOW to replace it.
It is all or nothing.
Decision time is now. Not later. RIGHT NOW.
One way or the other. I’m not saying what we should do, but we darn well better make up our minds and do it.
I think the big Republican contributors are telling the Republicans to not rock the boat and make deals with the Democrats. Maybe they are afraid that when the Democrats are in power they will get vengeance on all the Republican donors.
What does chippers mean?
There’s an old sayin down in Texas. Chip me once shame on you. chip, ya don’t get chipped again.
GOP's headquarters is DOA.
Time to change the tagline....
I think the democrats stereotype themselves in one phrase: “we hate the Americans”.
I can’t fathom why they are here. Anyone can get on a plane these days and be gone...forever.
If its all so awful, why stay?
There are no Berlin walls. You can check out today, mr schumer - go where you want.
But no, they stay - so they can try to shakedown the hyper productive Americans.
A permanent class of street thugs running a protection racket for themselves.
