Rush Limbaugh slammed the Republican Party after once again rubber-stamping a spending bill that once again gave Barack Obama everything he wished for.
Rush went so far as to suggest it is time to disband the Republican Party.
We are all with you on that, Rush Limbaugh. Via the Rush Limbaugh Show:
Rush Limbaugh: The country was just sold down the river again by your very Republican Party.
I have a headline here from the Washington Times: "White House Declares Total Victory Over GOP in Budget Battle." That headline's a misnomer. There was never a battle. None of this was opposed. The Republican Party didn't stand up to any of it, and the die has been cast for a long time on this. I know many of you are dispirited, depressed, angry, combination of all of that. But, folks, there was no other way this could go. Because two years ago when the Republican Party declared they would never do anything that would shut down the government and they would not impeach Obama, there were no obstacles in Obama's way and there were no obstacles in the way of the Democrat Party ...
... It fully funds Planned Parenthood. That, to me, is unforgivable, with everything now known about what goes on behind closed doors at Planned Parenthood, and that the federal government, led by a Republican Party, sees fit to pay for it. It is beyond comprehension, and it is a total squandering of moral authority to fully fund the butchery at Planned Parenthood. This spending bill fully pays for Obama's refugee plans, fully. This spending bill, this budget bill quadruples the number of visas Obama wants for foreign workers. This is even a slap at American union workers. Not the leaders. The union leaders seem to be in favor of it, but blue-collar people, known as working people, have been sold down the river along with everybody else here.
This spending bill even fully pays for every dime asked for by Obama on all of this idiocy that's tied up into climate change. Everything Obama wanted, everything he asked for, he got. You go down the list of things, it's there.
And this is causing some people to wonder if they just dreamed all that stuff about Boehner resigning. And then other people are wondering if they even dreamed all that stuff about the Republicans winning the largest number of seats they've had in Congress since the Civil War. We had two midterm elections in 2010 and 2014, which were landslide victories for the Republican Party. The Democrat Party lost over a thousand seats nationwide in just those two elections. People went to the polls in droves wanting exactly what was rubber-stamped last night (or what will be) stopped.
And instead they showed up in record numbers and they it turned out and they just defeated Democrats down the ballot. In the process, they elected Republicans to stop this. And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats in the House they've had in Congress since the Civil War. And it hasn't made any difference at all. It is as though Nancy Pelosi is still running the House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate. "Betrayed" is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it's worse than that.
This was out-and-out, in-our-face lying, from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach Republicans had to all this spending.
There is no Republican Party! You know, we don't even need a Republican Party if they're gonna do this. You know, just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party, and let the Democrats run it, because that's what's happening anyway. And these same Republican leaders doing this can't, for the life of them, figure out why Donald Trump has all the support that he has? They really can't figure this out?
Repeated stabs in the back like this - which have been going on for years - combined with Obama's policy destruction of this country, is what has given rise to Donald Trump. If Donald Trump didn't exist and if the Republican Party actually does want to win someday, they'd have to invent him. It's just mind-boggling when you figure out everything that has been granted Obama. All the money, the tax increases, the Cadillac plans in Obamacare. All kinds of punitive things in Obamacare, delayed yet again so that people will not be made aware of the pain and suffering Obamacareâs gonna cause.
It’s also about elitists who think they can skedaddle with their loot and families.
I haven’t read it, but I will after dinner, Laz.
I like to say that there are two parties in this country.
Us and Them.
I suspect that we are on the same page ^^
There’s going to be absolute hell to pay at the first KY Republican Caucus. Burn this imposter party down!
Oh yeah. I think things are gong to get really nasty, really soon.
I will not go quietly into the night.
My party affiliation change was made today. No longer a Republican. Now officially decline to state.
Yes. As I’ve been saying for years. Pull the chain. Flush the congressional bowl. Probably have to yank the chain multiple elections, but we haven’t any choice.
IF Cruz (or Trump) do not get in and put a STOP to all the nonsense, count me in ,,, ALL IN.
Me too.
These are just a few of the comments here.
I have previously said that some people appear to prefer insurgency (and not just of the political variety).
This seems to be the verification of this...
I read it, great essay, and something I have also believed for a good while now. But as a Christian-bear with me-I take it even further. These elitists-whatever their personal cause, or whatever they pretend their cause is, are an ever-narrowing group in this world where power is being both globalised and centralised. What they don’t know, is that power is going to become completely global, and centralised to the point of being in the hands of one man, with ultimate power multiplied by the indwelling power of Satan. They think they know what they’re doing, they have no idea-unless they’re utterly evil, in the strongest sense-of what they’re preparing to unleash.
They did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.
Since Lincoln secession is not permitted..........

Count me skeptical of any talk of secession or armed rebellion when folks won’t even get off their couch long enough to fix this by peaceful means while they still can.
Winston Churchill:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
You again, saying what I was thinking. It bugged me 5 years ago when he would talk “Republican” as though it was his team. They haven’t been on our (constitutional) side for a long time.
But in fairness, even 4 years ago I thought I had to vote Romney to get Obama out of there. I didn’t get it yet. At least now Rush will bring his audience to where we are.
Rush said “You know, just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party, and let the Democrats run it.” I’ve been saying this for at least 2 years. Stay home on election day and let the republicans all get beat. Then two years later you can replace the democrats will real conservatives. Like Rush said, dems-repubs it’s the same thing.
I would vote for McCain if my life depended on it.
I did vote for Romney because I did not want to see Obama destroy this nation further.
Whatever I thought about Romney, I didn’t think he hated our nation or would be an out and out traitor.
To you point, I hope he does bring his audience along.
We need more folks to grasp what the stakes are.
Ditto to the Romney comments.

Ain’t that the truth.
