While I totally agree with most of Limbaugh’s major points...I seriously doubt that todays GOP will do what is necessary to save the Republic...and that is truly sad

Damn, I hate to be so cynical about the possibility of the Repubs actually taking a firm stand... but that cynicism is so well-earned.
They’ve done it before... posturing before the inevitable collapse. The dems know the geldings will cave.. that’s why they stand their ground firmly. They never give an inch because they never have to.
It would be very refreshing for the Republicans to stand up and explicitly say where Obama wants this country to go. What his intentions are. What his methods will be. This stuff isn't hard to figure out -- so say it.
The media will laugh at our crazy talk, of course. What a bunch of paranoid morons those Republicans are! But, 50 years from now, at least we might look back and say, "This really was the plan, and we saw it and we did nothing to stop it."
Too bad they didn’t do it before the elections
Yeah, right. They’re too afraid of having THEIR secrets exposed, thus they are blackmailed into kowtowing.
There is nothing left to expose. In a way this has been the most transparent administration ever. It’s just that the GOP is deaf, dumb and stupid.... or cowards.
2) The President and the Dems enjoy the 'bully pulpit' and a compliant media. The best our Pubbies can expect is the political equivalent of a dunk tank, where reporters come out to ridicule and embarrass them.
The few good, conservative Repubs with the courage of their conviction are rarely given an opportunity to articulate their position without a team of "fact-checking" dissemblers eagerly parsing every word and spouting the administration's themes.
This sums it up perfectly. They want to insure their place at the trough. Screw the rest of the plebs.
Gingrich articulated the way forward for the GOP majority House.(on Fox with Greta) Break the Cliff up into a series of “foothills” and propose open legislation, repeat, IN THE OPEN. Big problems are always more manageable if you break them into smaller pieces. I think Jeff Sessions is right on the mark, too. NO MORE CLOSED DOOR HEARINGS.
No, that was FIVE YEARS AGO!
HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually grow a pair? HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually acknowledge conservative values? HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually acknowledge the biggest threat to our economy is out-of-control government spending?
And the biggest question -
HOW LONG will we continue to wait for the GOPe to do SOMETHING before we finally walk off the Pub's Plantation?
“Out in the open, perhaps we can discover whether a majority of Americans truly share Obama’s goal of obstructing spending and entitlement reform and thus destroying America’s future. The rest of us have a right to know.”
Nice piece, David, and I don’t disagree with what you wrote, but didn’t the election we just had teach you ANYthing about what “a majority” of Americans actually want?
Even Rush’s brother doesn’t get it. Obama isn’t out to punish the rich. He wants to make it look like he’s punishing the rich. He’s just an actor....a grifter......a con man. He’s playing to his Democrat audience.
“To be, or not to be. See how I take from the rich to give to you? Aren’t us Democrats wonderful?”
What happens to the actor when the stage is gone? Or you put the scenery from CATS up when he’s trying to do a scene from MACBETH? Throw him some curves. He can’t hit anything but big old slow softballs.
Obama is going on a 20 day vacation to Hawaii. What kind of socialist does that? Obama has lived in other nations. He’s not afraid to leave the US and do that. We’re all sitting around thinking he doesn’t want to rip off the country because he wants to live here. Baloney! You think he wants to go back to Chicago? He’s just a con man....a grifter.....a pickpocket. He runs out his old socialist act and people wet their pants.
“Look over here, mark! I might put you in a collective! Bwahaha!”
He puts on this act all the time. Boehner should introduce legislation requiring the President, all nationally elected officials, and every government employee in D. C. to grow and eat their own food. All you’d see of Harry Reid is the smoke from the tires of his car as he ran back to Nevada. Let’s see what kind of socialists they are.
It doesn't punish the truly rich, it punishes their competition: effectively the upper middle class. The truly rich have tax exempt "charities" with which to write off their expenses. They don't want small business to grow into big business.
The truly rich DO want to punish those uppity climbers and force those who aspire to anything back into a state of groveling. THAT is the essence of democratic socialism: indentured dependency upon a government the truly rich control for fun and profit.
This is class warfare all right, but the meme is all wrong.
Obama’s supporters KNOW what his agenda is. They don’t care. Most of them wouldn’t know socialism from social drinking - they just know he is the messiah who will save their souls and give them stuff, plus he ain’t white so he can be trusted. Good luck exposing anything - the media won’t report it anyway.
