Compromising with Democrats Never Works
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | August 9, 2019 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/09/2019 2:30:26 PM PDT by John W

Now, I’m just gonna tell you that your basic Trump voter doesn’t want Trump talking to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer about this. They are not the people to talk to about guns, background checks, intelligent background checks. We don’t want insane people, mentally ill people, bad people, dangerous people having guns in their hands. Well, who gets to sit there and determine who’s insane and who isn’t?

So I’m gonna tell you, this is a potential red flag, and I just want to remind everybody, “Read my lips: No new taxes.” George H. W. Bush thought that he was demonstrating to Americans that he had compassion. The media was out there, Democrats were talking about what a cold-hearted guy he was, people were going hungry because of these tax cuts, Bush needed to raise taxes, blah, blah.

And finally, because he thought he could work with Tom Foley, because he thought he could make a deal with Tom Foley. He didn’t trust George Mitchell in the Senate, but he loved Foley. He thought they could make a deal. And he never recovered from it. Never recovered from it and it’s probably one of the key reasons he did not get reelected in 1992. Same kind of potential pitiful is out there again awaiting Trump.

Wide and deep.

Rush is correct.

We have seen it many times and we should believe it.

Dems lie, Rep-s compromise, to achieve a solution, then the Dems turn around and stab you in the back.

Time to keep this in mind.

No red flag, or no vote.

He didn’t get re-elected in 1992 because a nationalist candidate got 20 million votes.

No universal background checks, or no vote.

Most Washington GOPers are Democrats anyway... just pretending to be Republicans to fool us rubes back home. They compromise with Democrats because they loathe and despise us, and if they had their way would load us into cattle cars and transit us to a death camp.

Say, “No red flag!” The next rally might be an opportunity to be heard chanting while walking back out in an orderly manner. Some small posters with hammer and sickle flags with “not” symbols over them might help get the message across the vast gap between us and the noisy elite.

No red flag! No red flag! No red flag!

It will if we insist that for every one antigun law there is also a compromising equal “truth in the media” law...

Just mention it and this will all stop.

Right. I may find common ground with a moderate, center of the road person on various things and we could both be satisfied with the outcome.

The left uses any compromise of your position as precedent to begin a new demand. The compromise you just made is now the demon that the Government must address.

Democrats have people in their party regrister as Republican then send fake letters - (written in Democrat War Rooms) making passionate pleas for gun control..

And Rush is right - if Trump loses his bearings he could destroy himself - and us - for NOTHING.

The people who write the letters have been told what to include based on studies of Trump's personality and gentleness. It's also why the Democrat propagandist (the press) are running pictures of small children crying. My guess is that's a Trump weak point.

There is no human misery democrats won't exploit for their own benefit. Have you noticed they work as one team? One day they're ALL calling us ‘racist’ - and when they realize it's not hurting as much - they switch - turn on a dime - and within 48 hours they're using the term ‘white supremacists’. That's coordination.

I haven’t heard the Democrats offer anything to me. All I can hear them is making a demand and saying they’ll accept half of it. Compromise means I guess some of what I want they get some of what they want both sides lose something they want.

In return for their gun law, do I get complete deregulation of all 22s? Do I get Nationwide reciprocity? Do I get to the ending of the gun free school law?

It’s not a compromise unless I get something I want that hurts them just as much.

To a Democrat the word compromise means only one thing: I win, you lose.

I have $100. The other side has none. He says he wants my hundred dollars, and I say no. He says okay, I’ll settle for 50.

That’s what we see called compromise today

Actually....no.

Republicans lose because they consistently fail to do the right thing by America. A healthy appetite for a third alternative to the UniTreason candidates was developing even before then.

Even now, Jim, what do you hear on talk radio, television, and on line? Vote Republican because they are not Democrats.

That should be embarrassing as heck that that is all they can run on. No ideas, no accomplishments to speak of.

The RNC successfully crafted a plan to infiltrate the Tea Party and now they are all but extinct. But the hunger for freedom and liberty is still there.

Third parties don’t hurt Republicans - Republicans hurt Republicans.
