Does GOP want to lose this election?
World Net Daily ^ | 11-4-13 | Joe Kovacs

If Republican Ken Cuccinelli does not defeat Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s race for governor Tuesday, there is a strong possibility the GOP establishment will actually be happy, according to talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh.

“‘You’re losing elections for us!’ I think that’s what they want to say,” Limbaugh said Monday. “I don’t know this, but I’m telling you that I don’t think there would be that much disappointment if Cuccinelli lost.”

“If that’s right, if that happens to be true, stop and think about what that means: that you actually have the Republican establishment with a chance to win another governorship in Virginia, and they’d be OK if they lose it because they’ll get to blame the tea party and conservatives for it. And I think there’s very little doubt that the Republican Party is not happy with its base – tea party and conservatives.”

Limbaugh wonders why establishment figures in the Republican Party have an aversion to tea partiers within the GOP.

“Why should we be afraid of the tea party? What has the tea party been wrong about yet?” asked Limbaugh.

“The real curiosity here … and it’s a genuine stumbling block. It’s a real mystery why do the Republicans not want to win? Because it sure doesn’t seem like they do, does it?”

Cuccinelli made sure Romney and Paul were the only choices in the 2012 Virginia Republican primary.
