Rush Limbaugh slammed the Republican Party after once again rubber-stamping a spending bill that once again gave Barack Obama everything he wished for.
Rush went so far as to suggest it is time to disband the Republican Party.
We are all with you on that, Rush Limbaugh. Via the Rush Limbaugh Show:
Rush Limbaugh: The country was just sold down the river again by your very Republican Party.
I have a headline here from the Washington Times: "White House Declares Total Victory Over GOP in Budget Battle." That headline's a misnomer. There was never a battle. None of this was opposed. The Republican Party didn't stand up to any of it, and the die has been cast for a long time on this. I know many of you are dispirited, depressed, angry, combination of all of that. But, folks, there was no other way this could go. Because two years ago when the Republican Party declared they would never do anything that would shut down the government and they would not impeach Obama, there were no obstacles in Obama's way and there were no obstacles in the way of the Democrat Party ...
... It fully funds Planned Parenthood. That, to me, is unforgivable, with everything now known about what goes on behind closed doors at Planned Parenthood, and that the federal government, led by a Republican Party, sees fit to pay for it. It is beyond comprehension, and it is a total squandering of moral authority to fully fund the butchery at Planned Parenthood. This spending bill fully pays for Obama's refugee plans, fully. This spending bill, this budget bill quadruples the number of visas Obama wants for foreign workers. This is even a slap at American union workers. Not the leaders. The union leaders seem to be in favor of it, but blue-collar people, known as working people, have been sold down the river along with everybody else here.
This spending bill even fully pays for every dime asked for by Obama on all of this idiocy that's tied up into climate change. Everything Obama wanted, everything he asked for, he got. You go down the list of things, it's there.
And this is causing some people to wonder if they just dreamed all that stuff about Boehner resigning. And then other people are wondering if they even dreamed all that stuff about the Republicans winning the largest number of seats they've had in Congress since the Civil War. We had two midterm elections in 2010 and 2014, which were landslide victories for the Republican Party. The Democrat Party lost over a thousand seats nationwide in just those two elections. People went to the polls in droves wanting exactly what was rubber-stamped last night (or what will be) stopped.
And instead they showed up in record numbers and they it turned out and they just defeated Democrats down the ballot. In the process, they elected Republicans to stop this. And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats in the House they've had in Congress since the Civil War. And it hasn't made any difference at all. It is as though Nancy Pelosi is still running the House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate. "Betrayed" is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it's worse than that.
This was out-and-out, in-our-face lying, from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach Republicans had to all this spending.
There is no Republican Party! You know, we don't even need a Republican Party if they're gonna do this. You know, just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party, and let the Democrats run it, because that's what's happening anyway. And these same Republican leaders doing this can't, for the life of them, figure out why Donald Trump has all the support that he has? They really can't figure this out?
Repeated stabs in the back like this - which have been going on for years - combined with Obama's policy destruction of this country, is what has given rise to Donald Trump. If Donald Trump didn't exist and if the Republican Party actually does want to win someday, they'd have to invent him. It's just mind-boggling when you figure out everything that has been granted Obama. All the money, the tax increases, the Cadillac plans in Obamacare. All kinds of punitive things in Obamacare, delayed yet again so that people will not be made aware of the pain and suffering Obamacare’s gonna cause.
Wake me when it’s time for Revolutionary War II. I’m all in.
IF Cruz (or Trump) do not get in and put a STOP to all the nonsense, count me in ,,, ALL IN.
> “ I’m all in.”
Me too. But I think of it as the war for ‘The American Reformation’.
While I appreciate you talking about this Rush, you’re only a couple of decades late. We’ve pestered you for years, and you couldn’t stomach this.
Why now bud?
We’ve had it up to here for a long long time now.
He was being facetious & has repeatedly said an alternate to the republican party would invite defeat for all but democrats. He has maintained the way to go is to take control of the party form the Vichy form of GOP
Me too.
Honestly, here are the main reasons Republicans screwed us so bad:
2. To clear up next year for useless bills to please conservatives. They’re going to send a bill to end Obamacare!
and...
#1. To get lots of money from their donors so they can fight off primary challenges.
A secession of several states would be better.
Rush is right! All the GOP apologists can go to hell!!!!!!
Eternal Vigilance Rush is just finally saying out loud that the Republican party is just a bunch of closet democrats. It is way past time to burn it down. The Tea Party should have been the Phoenix risen from the ashes. Now it will become whatever CRUZ/TRUMP morph it into. Hopefully it will be something worthy of keeping. The halfwit parasites in D.C. will realize this only will revolution begins.
Just hold on, hold on....only 389 days, 1 hour, 51 minutes and 22.3 seconds before President Trump takes office and the nightmare will be over.
It really doesn’t matter.
They are all democrats anyway, and if we retake the GOP, it will still be all democrats, and if we make another party, it will also be all democrats.
A centralized power structure is only going to draw those who wish to rule and control.
The whole beast has to go.
Finally!
The Republican Party has been sick for a very long time, but today it died.
Of course it won’t do any damn good, but this lifelong republican, now at 67 yoa will now register as an independent.
Trump’s statement on the bill, in early, owning the narrative, typical Trump style;
Hammer Meet Nail-Donald Trump Statement Regarding Paul Ryan Omnibus Spending Bill

I want to vote from the roof.
I think you make an excellent point. I also believe that more centralisation, and more globalisation, is what’s coming, not less. Groundwork being laid, stage being set.
Nossir. You read my essay? It is not about Democrats vs. Republicans. It is not even about Liberals vs. Conservatives.
See my post below yours, please read my essay.
