“I’m thinking, “What the hell is going on out there?” If that’s true, if there are a bunch of you people sitting around there thinking you’re not gonna vote ‘cause Romney’s the nominee and if he chooses Condoleezza it’s over, then I have lost touch with you! I have lost touch with you. I don’t understand that at all.”
Dear Rush...yes you have lost touch with us, but you need to examine your own stance to understand your inability to understand. You are too quick to allow Romney to be POTUS because you don’t hold to the “morale/social” conservative viewpoint. You are more focused on the other two legs...I think mainly “economic.” I have always known you were part of the GOPe as Ann Coulter...you need to break to bonds. Don’t just “talk the talk”, you need to “walk the walk” and fully break ties with the GOPe (you are not fully Tea Party as you say). I think you need to take to heart what Jim Robinson has repeatedly said in many different ways. What follows is a lengthy (unedited and spot on) quote by Jim Robinson:
You either defend life and liberty or you don’t.
I’m sworn to defend it from all enemies foreign and domestic and an oath is forever.
Obama believes in the power of the state. Romney believes in the power of the state. Both have records of abortionism, homosexualism, progressivism, statism. Neither defends the constitution or life and liberty.
Those who line up with either are lining up to give unlimited powers to the state and place severe limitations on liberty and individual freedom.
I’m very sorry to have to report to you, my dear friends, that barring a miracle we pro-life and liberty conservatives have already lost the battle for the presidency. With either one of these two statists in power and with the current frame of mind of the SCOTUS, we have witnessed the end of constitutional government in America.
Our only prayer will be that we elect a majority of constitutionally minded conservatives into a majority of the legislative bodies all across this great land so that we the people can we re-assert our sovereign powers and impeach/recall/expel/fire and otherwise remove, rescind, overturn, repeal, abolish, close down and shutter all the corrupt usurping executives, legislators, judges and their corrupt usurping decrees, acts, amendments, treaties, decisions, departments, agencies, commissions, regulations, etc, and fully restore the constitution, restore the limits on government power and restore our God-given Liberty!!
Short of civil war, that’s how you mend it.
Romney is the last sliver of hope that mending might occur, otherwise it will be civil war and you and your "I voted 3rd party on principle" pals had better be ready.
“Neither defends the constitution or life and liberty.”
Bit of a stretch there, don’t you think?
I like your analysis on Rush.
I also think he’s more focused on the two-legs of the stool - economic and foreign policy/military. I think even our ‘Conservative leaders’ have become corrupted by this culture that the church itself let slide into lukewarm irrelevance.
Perhaps he should read John Adams a bit more, the President who said that our Constitution was made soley for a ‘moral and religious people’ because only a self-governing people beholden to moral and religious principles have little use for a powerful government of men.
America is very much like Ancient Israel was during the period of the evil Judges - when the corruption and evil of the culture and people was even worse than that of the heathen nations around them. No decent leaders could be found among them, nor could righteous men have a hope of being chosen to lead the corrupt nation. Israel kept choosing wicked leaders that waxed worse and worse until they collapsed from within and were taken over by alien powers that brought the remnant of it’s citizens not killed outright into slavery.
History does repeat - and given the fact that NONE of our national blessings come from ourselves, I have to wonder that a nation and culture that no longer puts morality front and center has a snowball’s chance on the sun to keep the other two legs from collapsing into ruin.
I will be voting this November - but NOT for the Romney trap being set for us by the Ruling Class.
In fact, my mindset is far past November and fully expecting no change except from bad to worse - and that is where my attentions and efforts are now focused.
Survival.
It’s an election year. Rush always totally carries the water for republicans during election years. I can hardly blame him in this case, because I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d vote for Micky Mouse over 0bama.(Micky Mouse would actually be better than Romney too)
This election year doesn’t even feel like one to me. I’m about as enthusiastic when it comes to voting for Romney as I am about a trip to the DMV.

We can work hard to get conservatives in Congress to replace the profligate Democrats and RINOs, and it is they who will do the work of legislation that will cut taxes, and make changes in Federal programs like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae, and attempt to cut funding to programs like Planned Parenthood. It won't be either the President or the Vice President who will do that, so their philosophies won't come into play, other than to have give an overall idea.
Sitting this election out in a snit over Romney, or his choice of Veep, is frankly cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, because the lack of a vote for Romney only increases Obama's chance to be re-elected. And considering what Obama has done during the past four years, we simply cannot afford four more years of him as President.
You basically nailed it. Federal politics has devolved into a game of three card monte. And we’re the suckers.
Ever notice how the gop relies on this mantra that if you don’t vote for our candidate, then life as you know it will not continue? And how the candidates get progressively worse each time?
The state governorships and legislatures are what matter now. If you have the 20 minutes to spend, sure, go ahead and vote for president. But don’t delude yourself into thinking that the agenda for the candidates for either major party are really all that different.
Civil War is how this will be settled. There is NO other path...
If Rush put his mouth and his energy into real Constitutional conservative issues, he would fire those at the top up - it could light a fire under them, so to speak.
He appears to be merely a mouthpiece for the GOP PTB.
I stopped listening to him years ago; I started listening in the late 80s when he was local in Sacramento, and continued for years.
Romney isn’t the nominee yet. I am so hoping for a revolution at the convention. IMHO Romney is the worst of all the lukewarm statist RINOs that have been crammed down our throats for decades.
