Thanks, Rush.

And thank God, our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ,
for what we have because of Ronald Reagan.

[JSDude1]

Screw a brokered convention when ANOTHER moderate can be foised upon us! You talk about rebellion-there would be SO much rebellion that it would threatend to split or destroy the Republican Party if this happened: GUARANTEED!

[Yosemitest]

Let's remember what a great man said.

"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"

September 21, 2011

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Folks, this is a little Inside Baseball, but it's important because
he who controls the language ends up winning the debate,
and it might seem like a small thing, but I have learned and I have been given to understand that the "establishment Republicans" hate the term.
They don't like being called "establishment Republicans,"
and they are trying to change the term to "establishment conservatives" and in the process co-opt the definition of "conservative" and conservatism.
It's not something that you'll notice if you watch cable news or even read.
You have to be able to see the stitches on the fastball, you have to be able to read between the lines,
and you have to know some stuff going on behind the scenes
(and, of course, I am in a position to know these kinds of things).

So don't doubt me on this. The establishment Republicans are the "establishment Republicans.
The Republican leadership is the Republican establishment, meaning the elites.
They hate it and they are in the process of trying to redefine who conservatives are and what it is --
and if they succeed, the conservatism that you and I hold dear will no longer be the definition of conservatism.
If they succeed, the current thinking of the Republican establishment will be what is called modern day conservatism.
Don't doubt me on this.
It sounds like a small thing, but in a daily ebb and flow you'll not even see any news about this,
but it's in important because it's crucial who controls the language, who controls the way words are defined.

You and I know that the establishment Republicans don't like conservatives.
They didn't like Reagan.
They were embarrassed of Reagan.
They were embarrassed of us.
They didn't like the Moral Majority, they didn't like the Christian right, they don't like the pro-lifers.
They don't like the social conservatives at all.
They're embarrassed by us, in many ways, with their other buddies, the establishment Democrats --
which combined gives us the Washington establishment,
and they very much prefer to be members of that club than ours.
But they know that it doesn't help them to be called "establishment Republicans."
So they're trying to take the term "conservative" and co-opt it
and define it as they behave, write, speak, and even vote on matters of politics.

END TRANSCRIPT

"Establishment Republicans" are Lying to Us With Threats of a Dire Default

Let's remember:

Never stand and take a charge... charge them too.

Someone on another thread said

"... Constitutional limitations of government power especially freedom of the press and speech, are designed to make government impotent in the absence of a general consensus ..."

But with the press not doing its job, and the LAME Stream Media trying to silence speech they don't agree with,
we're in a real mess and under attack by an evil force rarely seen in this country.
The Republicans and the God-Given freedoms this country has enjoyed so far, are descending into oblivion.
And the "Establishment Republicans" aren't doing a damned thing to stop it.
The "Establishment Republicans" aren't providing "the boots on the ground" to win.
They're trying to put the public back to sleep, lying to them, in order to keep their power, and "wreck the country as it commits suicide".
So now the "Establishment Republicans" have "fractured their base" and,
because they have taught us "that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics",
they're going to lose, and lose big, if they don't swing to the hard right wing of what used to be their party.
How many conservatives have re-registered as "Conservative Party" or "Independent" because they're fed up with being lied to?
We've been "treated to one lecture after the other on the need for “compromise” and “patience” ", and we're sick of it.
We don't trust them any longer.

Look, Rush said it best....

Now, the fact that the Republican establishment cannot make that case and other arguments
tells me that they may have already surrendered,
and this is a big difference between us and the establishment.
They're in this defensive posture, I've told you,
I said on Greta how many times, a lot of people inside the Republican establishment secretly don't even believe Obama can be beaten.
And that's why they want Romney,
'cause they think at least Romney will help 'em take the Senate.
He'll lose less down the ballot than Gingrich or some conservative will.
But conservatives, you Tea Party activists, you don't want to give up
and you haven't given up,
and you don't want to accept this propaganda from the left.
We insist on challenging it, we insist on fighting it
'cause there's no other way to save the country,
and continually playing these games
letting the Democrats rewrite the language, change the definition of things,
get away with false accusations against us, never do anything about it,
constantly stay on defense.

So now, because of the Establishment Republicans" there's not just a candle lit, but a bonfire lit ...
in the very heart of the conservatives, and it will burn away the dead wood that is "Establishment Republicans."

Yes, it's time to curse the "Establishment Republicans" for every thing they've NOT DONE!
And CURSE THEM for most of the things they HAVE DONE!

"Attack, repeat, ATTACK!"

And they talked about it on Scarborough's show today on PMSNBC.

I heard this. My immediate reaction: Scarborough????. Our new trusted source?

Have we heard this meme-candidate anywhere else? Or is it just Scarborough stirring the soup based on a few conservations over drinks with nervous Romney-bots?

[SMGFan]

I consider myself so fortunate to have been at Liberty State Park in Jersey City on September 1st, 1980 and to have seen RWR speak about Jimmy "I'll Never Lie to You" Carter.

"A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

[peyton randolph]

These are the same morons who demanded Reagan take George H.W. Bush as his running mate at the 1980 GOP convention. A decision that has hurt the party for three decades.

You can be damn sure their “solution” will involve a Jeb Bush nomination or something else equally stupid.

[RoosterRedux]

Eff the establishment.

They gave us John McCain and, because he refused to fight, we got that malignant jungle rot known as Obama.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s a two man race this year, and Gingrich will win. No need for a brokered convention.

[Yosemitest]

I think you might want to read this.

[martin_fierro]

Aw crap.

I thought this meant Palin was running.

[Impy]

Sounds like the ideal situation we could get a candidate better than any of the ones running.

[upchuck]

Anyone surprised by this is not really paying attention. The GOP elites will do what ever is necessary to get Mitt nominated.

I really don’t understand why since Mitt has zero chance of beating nobama.

Unless, of course, the GOP elites secretly want another four years of nobama destroying our country.

They trashed Sarah, they scared off Herman, they are currently working, without much success fortunately, on Newt.

Newt must become unstoppable.

[TomGuy]

One thing that may shake up the Republicans is the State of the Union speech which will be Tuesday evening.

If Obama gets a significant bump, any Republican could be in trouble, because the MSM/Dems still have months to improve and remake Obama into Obama ver 2.0. Incumbency is difficult to defeat.

A significant Obama bump with the voter dissatisfaction with the dwindling field of opposition contenders does will not bode well for the GOP in November. Are they willing to settle for another Obama term and hope to retain the House and gain the Senate? At the rate Obama is issuing Executive Orders and McConnell/Boehner are folding, Obama has already shown he can circumvent the legislative mechanism.

I fear a brokered convention is Elite code for let's nominate Jeb. That would be another sure loser. Obama has run against Bush since 2007 and having another Bush to run against would be every better than having Mitt I never had a position I couldn't change Romney or Newt trainload of Samsonite Gingrich.

[BagCamAddict]

I'll tell you what...

I don't normally listen to Rush because I only hear him when I'm driving, and I'm never driving when he's on. But last week, I was traveling for business, and I was able to listen to him during some of my road hours.

BITE ME RUSH.

I happened to catch his show the two days when he was bashing Newt and Perry for their statements on Bain Capital, and it became clear he was pimping Romney.

Made me sick to listen to.

Sorry Rush, you lost me at Mittens.

[Varsity Flight]

Keynote speech: “Mark my word, __ new taxes.”

[Las Vegas Dave]

Amen...

[Daveinyork]

I don’t think a brokered convention is possible under the rules in effect since about 1972. Nobody controls delegates, and they are free to vote however they want after a cettain number of ballots have resulted in no nomination.

Under the old rules, and I’m old enough to remember them, primaries counted for very few delegates, and state party bosses selected most of the delegates. I think that still happens, but not as much.

Governors would run as “favorite son” candidates, which gave them control of all their state delegates. In states where the governor belonged to the other party, I’m not sure but I think it was the state party bosses who selected the delegates. After a long, drawn-out process placing all the candidates in nomination, the charade of voting was carried out. Most of the time it was decided in back room deals before a single vote was officially cast.

I can’t see that happening. I think the delegates would not go along with it.

[SaraJohnson]

I keep repeating that Rinos do not mind being the permanent minority of the one-party international socialist camp. They did it for forty years until people like Reagan and Newt came along and turned their world up-side down.

Their only political enemy is conservatives. They have stood by while the Department of Homland inSecurity has classified conservatives as domestic terrorists. They attack only conservatives - never liberals - their friends across the aisle.

[Jim Noble]

[Elsie]

Now, the Republican elite is notZ conservatives.

WHOA!!

At first glance I thought this said:

Now, the Republican elite ZOTS conservatives.

[Elsie]

...the Republican elite...

Who elected THEM the leader of this outfit??
