Rush: Cromnibus Designed to 'Eliminate the Tea Party'

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh railed against provisions in the cromnibus that relaxed campaign finance rules on Friday, saying that it was designed to "basically eliminate [the Tea Party] as a viable threat," and "how corporate America is going to defeat the Tea Party."
He explained "that campaign finance stuff...I'm going to tell you exactly what that is...the limits have practically been obliterated which means that corporate donors can just start giving left and right."
Limbaugh continued "This is how corporate America is going to defeat the Tea Party. By allowing limitless donations from that crowd under the rubric that its campaign finance and money is speech and freedom of speech and 1st Amendment, the theory is that Main Street, Tea Party people can't come close to competing with corporate money and so it is a Republican Establishment ploy that kind of dovetails nicely with Obama siccing the IRS on the Tea Party to basically eliminate them as a viable threat by relaxing a regulation in Dodd-Frank that pretty much permits corporations to spend any kind of money they want on politics."
Earlier, he declared "our Speaker of the House [got] in bed with Obama and advances the Obama agenda, takes care of it, amnesty, Obamacare, fully funded, done deal, the election must not have mattered."

When is the last time such a strategy produced results in creating a lasting shift in party ideology?
I can show several examples of the strategy I talked about (Reagan, Obama, for starters).

Its past time to cut conservative losses and form a new party. It is either that or the country is lost short of armed insurrection. I have concluded the same thing. The GOPe would at least have to negotiate with us to get anything passed. Right now they are just flipping us the bird and saying "what are you going to do about it?"
Of course we run the danger that the GOPe will caucus with the DNC rather than the Tea Party because the are closer ideology wise.

“If we weren’t such a threat to do so we would be ignored instead of attacked.”
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
The GOP fights us harder than the Democrats because WE are the existential threat to them. They can live with the Democrats, forever if necessary, but they cannot co-exist with us if we actually get our act together.

I listen to Mark Levin everyday. He rails against the RINOs, before the election it was get Harry Reid out! Now he’s back to bashing RINOs.
We don’t need a third party. We nee a second party since Boner, McConnell et al are pretty much the same thing.
Let’s put them on notice. If they don’t repeal, replace Obamacare and defund Amnesty we’re going to vote the out! I live in NJ so my vote doesn’t count but I’m going to write in Ted Cruz for Prez!

people had a chance in the primaries to eliminate some of these creeps....it didn't get done....
We had a second chance, in the general, and that, too, did not get done. The only difference between (most of) the Republican party, and the neo-fascist left, is the lies they tell their constituents. We cannot take back the Republican party. That ship has sailed. The only option now is third party. Even if it has a .0001% chance of succeeding, that is better than the 0% chance of turning the Republican party into something other than the Democrat party's partner-in-crime.

one can figure the next DC crony move to stop the Tea Party will be the government's illegally severely regulating political speak on the internet since it is next to the last bastion we have as citizens to stop the wealthy tyrant class from enslaving us completely. We all know the wealthy tyrants have been spending millions to take the very last bastion of our ability to restore Constitutional government and that won't stop until the citizens put a stop to it themselves or the tyrants have succeeded.

Well, they essentially did yesterday. They strategised together. They both whipped their representatives to vote for the CRomnibus. They both declared victory. They are the uniparty.

Bingo, Rush nailed it again. Conservatives gave the GOP a huge victory and now the GOP-e is going to ensure conservatives can never take it away.
To: Boogieman
Why would they do that? Boners acting no different that he always has, and they have continued to elect him in the past. Ohioans like Boner the way he is, I think.A big majority of Americans don't want amnesty, no way, no how and now a majority wants 0bamacare repealed. Americans just sent a message they don't what 0bama is selling, in the last election.
He failed on all and stabbed, even Ohioans, in the back. We can only hope a grassroots effort gets started to try to get him removed. The people of Ohio have to do the right thing and get him out of there before he helps the democrats and liberals do more damage to this country.

This fantasy of a third party is indeed a fools errand. We can take over the GOP. If we weren't such a threat to do so we would be ignored instead of attacked.
Nonsense. The only fantasy is that we can take over the GOP. That simply is not going to happen. A third party may be a long-shot. But a long-shot is better than a no-shot, which is what trying to fix the party from within, is.

Not really a danger so much as a certainty. But that is a good thing. The only way for constitutional conservatism to survive, and possibly thrive, is if it is separated from the fog.

Trying to take over an entrenched progressive party is a fool`s errand! Now that should be required reading.

May the RINOs be haunted by dreams of General Washington and his armies while at Valley Forge.
Also, since this is corporate, and you don’t have to be a citizen to own a business in America, this is pretty interesting.

The Tea Party is of our minds and votes, not our financial largesse.

No. No, we don't. This is simply a fairy tale, as told to children, to shield them from the reality of life. We are being attacked, because they have the upper hand, to such a degree, that they feel safe to do more than just destroy constitutional conservatism politically, but also to thoroughly marginalize and discredit the ideas themselves. They do this because they know they have won. Not because they fear they will lose.
In 2014, the country was given one last chance to rid the country of the left's most powerful weapon -- a thoroughly compromised opposition party. We failed.

Like I said...they elitists are not just going to go off and sulk...they are going to fight back. Which is what they are doing now.
After this fiasco, it ought to be fairly easy to take out Boner.
