RUSH: There's an AP story here today. This rules change what everybody thinks got solved yesterday. Let me briefly, as I understand this, tell you what's going on. There was an attempt, by the rules committee yesterday, to change the rules of the convention in determining who the delegates to the convention are from the various states and to strip away all of the BS. The purpose of the rules change, which was orchestrated by Ben Ginsberg -- he's working for Romney, but it's the establishment GOP. The express purpose is to eliminate any influence of Tea Party activists or grassroots people or conservatives, essentially, from having any power at future conventions.

It would allow the presidential nominee to determine who the delegates to the convention are in future conventions.

Same here. Mitt Romney likely lost the election tonight and it isn't going to matter one bit who he blames because losing is losing.

Puh-leeze. We'll have two months of unending "THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME!" 90% of us will swallow it and forget all about this.

[bioqubit]

given the tea party continues to grow and take power at the local and state levels, it is only a matter of time until the elite scum are finally washed away.

If Ron Paul would have won, senility would have won! A Guy who called Dennis Kucinich a great leader, and wanted him as a V.P. a V.P. who thinks the constitution is a living breathing document!Hmm how does conservatism live with this Retard Paul?

SO SO many are missing that aren’t they? Will conservatism die? We’ll know before Christmas.

****Drag his phoney @ss across the finish line, then chew him up and spit him out in 2016. That’s where I’m at right now.****

Conservatives have to understand that since they have constantly compromised between the lesser of two evils for so long, there is no way to counteract the evil in time to save the Republic. At this point your vote is meaningless if you hope to return America to its Christian values roots, which are the only ones that sustain if maintained by the people.

I oppose Obama, and will probably vote for Romney. Time will tell. The only reason to do so is to give whatever time I can to the people who have yet to understand.

All of us must choose the lesser of the evils, if that’s how we see this election, but some of us have watched the Kenyan Muslim Marxist bleed *all* of us tax payers. By the end of another B Hussein term, the tyrant might be secure from any means of removal.

When Rush Limbaugh uses the term GOP establishment, then he is hedging his bets against Team Mittens.

Rush has been chief propagandist for every establishment Republican whether their name be George Bush, Bob Dole, Juan McCain or Mittens Romney.

Rush be a political entertainer. He has tried to ride the fence as he did in the 2012 Republican primaries.

Methinks Rush sees Mittens losing to Barry as a real possibility and all this bluster is CYA stuff in case Mittens crashes and burns which is quite possible.

Barry is weak, Barry is vulnerable, but Barry be smart and is playing offense. Mittens be timid, Mittens be stupid, Mittens has the strong hand but Mittens be stupid because he be playing defense. As long as Mittens be dancing to Barry and the MSM's tune, his chances of winning be real slim, and Rush may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he be smarter than Team Mittens because he be hedging his position.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

I believe you’re right..

[cripplecreek]

It doesn’t matter how large you type it, over is over.

[iopscusa]

This is the same crap the GOPPERS used on the Ron Paul rebels, also similar to the techniques used by the Obama creeps to take down the Thigh Master’s bid for the WH.

[iopscusa]

I think you pegged Limbaugh...he’s mostly just an overpaid GOPe shill, always has been, otherwise he would not continue as a National Voice. RL also is known for plagiarizing a lot of material from the Con base and real activist thinkers w/o giving any credit to the originals. I always wonder why he rarely does any interviews but mostly just pontificates.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>Rush may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer<<

He’s a hell of a lot smarter than you.

“Rush be a political entertainer”...”Mittens be timid, Mittens be stupid”...what kind of idiotic gibberish is that?

As soon as you do 1/millionth as much as Rush has done for the conservative movement, please get back to us.

[LibLieSlayer]

How else would you get rid of him?

Hope you get that I agree with you. The "MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME" crappola has been spun by talk radio hacks for a decade. I Won't Get Fooled Again. But, 90% of the sheep around here will.... :(
