The GOP Establishment Wants to Run on Fixing -- Not Repealing -- Obamacare (Rush Limbaugh)
The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | March 14, 2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/14/2014 12:37:04 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I've got so much stuff here today, folks, and I'm trying to figure out which I want to do first. Here's Obama with deportations, and here's Obama with determining who gets overtime, all of this is a distraction. It's all a distraction from what's happening with the economy and with Obamacare. I guess this is the big deal to me. We have this massive electoral victory on Tuesday in Florida, Florida 13. And I'll be damned if the Republican establishment is not doing its best in high gear to tell everybody, "Hey, don't think that Obamacare was the main factor here."

It is becoming clear to me -- not that it needs to be any more clear -- that the Republican establishment does not want to run against Obamacare. Karl Rove has a column today. Karl Rove is on TV this morning on Fox, but there are others in the Republican establishment saying, "Hey, hey! You know, it wasn't just about Obamacare," and I've heard other members in the Republican establishment say that David Jolly did not say repeal.

One of the BEST Rush Limbaugh shows today. If you hadn't heard his commentary about how the self-defeating establishment Republicans are downplaying the toxic role of ObamaCare in the defeat of Alex Sink, then you MUST read this transcript.

Bottom line, he ran AGAINST obamacare and obama failed policies, he nationalized the election.

And Jolly didn’t even run that great of a campaign PLUS there was also a Liberterian candidate in the race PLUS Alex Sink wasn’t in congress to vote for ObamaCare and YET establishment Republicans want their candidates to avoid talking about REPEAL of ObamaCare when running against those who voted for that toxic program. It is precisely because Jolly called for REPEAL that he won the election.

These guys don’t want to win. Winning means having to lead. Why put yourself in that position? You’re doing nothing and still getting all your goodies. To hell with the peasants.

EXACTLY.

And many on the Right do not understand that THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY is the alternative to Socialism. The truth is many on the Right either want another government solution or have no clue what the solution should be.

People need to understand that as the coercive unconstitutional government is dismantled, the voluntary free market will take its place. The market economy free of government interference is the best anti-poverty, low-cost high quality health care system known to man.

I caught half of his commentary on this. I went to his website to read the transcript. He is, as usual, spot on. Karl Rove and the rest of the establishment will lead us to failure. Hopefully, most candidates will listen to Rush and not the likes of Karl.

Oh, they want to win but keep the whole big government agenda from 2001 onwards going. But of course, if they can’t win on that ticket, they feel it’s better to let the other half of the Uniparty rule the roost.

I’d like to fix ObaMaoCare in the same way that one would fix a tom cat.

Those surrender monkey morons need to kill Obamacare. We can say no. We must say no. When someone is attacking you do you need to negotiate the amount of damage they can do? Of course not. You say no and you fight back.

The hypoctite Democrats want help fixing the piece of garbage that they forced on us and not particicpate in it themselves. Shame on them. And if the RINOs agree shame on them too. Throw anyone out of office that says NO to complete repeal of Obamacare.

Agreed. I've seen zero evidence that the GOPe wants anything to do with winning back the Senate. I'm starting to think that we actually have Democrats running the GOP - there isn't much else that could explain how totally wimpy and stupid the GOP looks these days.

:: here’s Obama with determining who gets overtime ::

At what point will someone with a spine ask the “everyday” McDonald’s worker:

“The president has decided that you should earn about $11 dollars/hour...now he wants to decide if you can work overtime; do you agree?

A winning formula!

Even scandal-scarred Mark Sanford won a congressional seat by running against Pelosi-0bama ...

There is no effective way to apply polish to a piece of fecal matter.

And yet they keep trying.

Why do we accept the premise that universal health care is either desirable or even possible?

Possible we already know it cannot ever be. Desirable it cannot become.

“Bully Obama double-dog dares cowardly House RINOs to Impeach him.”

____________________________

Removal from Office by the US Senate can ONLY be accomplished AFTER a Chief Executive is Impeached by the US House of Representatives.

The House is analogous to the Police, and the Senate is analogous the Judge and Jury.

First the House must Impeach Obama.

Then the Senate determines if the Impeached Obama should be removed from office.

Most FReepers fall in the all or nothing camp, and only want to consider a clear path to Removal from Office.

Our Constitution makes it very clear: Impeach first by the House, and then have the Senate decide on Removal.

The objective is to punish Obama for his many violations of his sacred oath to defend the US Constitution.

Although bi-weekly Impeachments for at least a year of B. Hussein Obama would be required to punish him for all of his Constitutional violations over the last 5 years, just one Impeachment is an achievable goal in the summer of 2014.

Obama’s Removal from Office by the US Senate would be good for America, but unlikely before 2015 as Reid’s US Senate has not yet demonstrated any interest in what is good for America.

Since the RINOs now have control of the US House of Representatives in 2014, then 2014 is the last year that we can be certain that Obama could be Impeached.

The RINOs assume that they will maintain control of the US House, but their usual desire to lose to Democrats is so strong, that their assumption may not be a valid one.

Thus, a reasonable plan to Remove Obama from Office would be to Impeach Obama in the Summer of 2014, hold that Impeachment during the Autumn Election Campaign, and then send the completed Impeachment of Obama to the US Senate in 2015 one week after the newly elected Republican Senators are sworn in.

The Republicans would then have a clear National Voter Referendum on what the voter loyalty is towards Obama and his past Five Year Plan:

“IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT OBAMA HAS DONE IN THE LAST 5 YEARS TO “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” THEN VOTE FOR YOUR REPUBLICAN SENATOR AND HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE.”

As Speaker Newt Gingrich proved to us with his “Contract With America:” Republicans win when they actively campaign on the basic Republican truth that “All Politics are National.”

Thus, the 2014 Republican Candidates for House and Senate would have the assured Removal from Office of Obama as another excellent reason to vote a straight Republican ticket, in addition to the other Campaign issues such as Obamacare, Benghazi, IRS, NSA, and all of the other Obama Scandals.

Hopefully, the Democrats and the Left Stream Media will accuse the RINOs of “using the blame game by playing politics to use the Obama “phony” scandals as a political football to quiet their extremist TEA Party base by trying to Impeach the first Nobel Peace Prize wining Commander in Chief.”

Come to think of it, their comments are EXACTLY what our Founding Fathers would have expected from supporters of those who are undergoing Constitutional Checks and Balances.

______________________

Speaker Boehner has proven himself to be incapable of protecting the US Constitution from a Lawless Chief Executive.

Speaker Boehner tried and failed, convincingly.

Boehner must resign as Speaker of the House by April 15, 2014.

Trey Gowdy, (or another strong Republican), should be the new Speaker, and then Obama could be easily Impeached in the American Summer of 2014 while the RINOs still have control of the House, and the elections are not yet completed.

Make 2014 the “Summer of Constitutional Checks and Balances.”

Impeach Soetoro-Obama in the Summer of 2014, PERIOD.

First amnesty and according to Politico the Chamber of Comerce is fighting for comon core and now this. I think these wealthy establishment Republicans should decide if they are socialists or conservatives. If the former than they should just pay the taxes the socialist governement makes people in thier class pay until they come to their senses. Enough is enough. I am sick and tired of big business that owns the lib press and those who claim to be conservative only when it affects their pocket books stabbing us in the back. I say make them pay their damn taxes. This might seem quite a radical departure for most of you and I used to feel the same way as you do, but now I say bleed them until they run dry or come back to our side where they belong.

Fixing ObamaCare is easy. Just repeal the entire thing.

I would settle for repealing the entire thing except for allowing insurers to keep adult children (like PajamaBoy) on the parents’ policy if the insurance company so chooses, and ad in permission to sell insurance across state lines. My guess is what we’ll get is something indistinguishable from today’s ObamaCare if they try to fix it.

Only the GOPe believes in Obamacare. Democrates know it is a potemkin bull of theirs.

Just look at how much they are back tracking in changing the world with Putin.

Time to close shop America and let the GOPe get a memo.

More proof that the GOPe has accepted their role as the dhimmicrap lite party.

Time to talk seriously about breaking up this grand experiment, I’m afraid.
