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.
Take it to them, Rush!
It will be if you win.
Thanks. Hate it when I make misstatements in my posts.
I WOULD NOT vote for McCain...
It’s way past time for ropes, chains, and torches.
Yes, I know it wouldn’t make sense to abandon ship, but
a person can only take so much shiite. :)
Overhauling the ship does make sense and will take time, if it is possible.
Uniparty.
If the rank and file would just overthrow the vichy repub leadership, we could do it without two more years of total communism.
Thanks. It sure is...
Yeah!
Everybody knows I'm not a socialist/RINO/RAT....but I'm not so sure about you
I’m kinda at the point where I want to flush the bowl, then full it with concrete, and then drop the whole toilet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
And then salt the earth where the toilet once stood.
Rush, we at FR have been saying this for years.
Nice that you woke up from hawking books and ice tea to realize this.
The time for entertaining is over.
It is not humorous anymore.
2016 is for all the marbles.
And you, with the power of the EIB microphone, need to engage and help lead the troops.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Cool. Whatever.
No idea what you are babbling on about, as usual.
It will do you some good, and help to send a message.
I did it the day after the 2012 election, I was so disgusted. Felt great, didn't want to be part of the eunuchs' party anymore.
Prove me wrong.
**************************************
You’re an ASSHOLE...prove me wrong.
I credit Rush with getting me to think clear about things as a college kid.
I gave up listening to him when I became more conservative than he is. Plus I just can’t stand the amount of commercials he’s got in his show anymore. I remember real good stretches of time hed be on a serious roll. Anywhere up to the late 1990s. Dunno. Not the same.
It is dismaying me to realise that some of the worst of the betrayals and plots to confound conservatives have emanated from one of the supposedly most conservative states in the Union, my own home state of Mississippi, of which I had been formerly rather proud for being recalcitrant when it came to trying to be “more progressive than thou”. The times, they are a-changing indeed.
Us and Them.
Consider that SO stolen!
Wait until the primary, vote for Cruz, then leave. I may well join you.
