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 Obamacare’s gonna cause.
<3 <3 :D
Enjoy it, good sir!
That post along with ChurchHill’s quote pretty much sums it up.
Honestly, I haven’t listened to him in years either.
I support his site by subscribing. I do like to go back and listen sometimes, when someone mentions a good show.
I appreciate Rush for what he is. I he is a very good representative of us in many ways.
If he went full tilt, most folks wouldn’t be able to grasp it and they’d be turned off.
A public figure has to walk a more fine line that we do.
I can identify with your thoughts.
I don’t like to see someone tee off on him like I did, but in this instance it’s deserved.
If the former CSA were to re-secede, I suspect the rest of the country might well say “good riddance” and accelerate its galloping to Gomorrah, knowing that its strongest impediment would be removed out of its way.
Registering as an Independent may hurt you more than it helps, depending on your state’s primary laws. I got over your feelings in 2014 by skipping the Cornyn and George P. Bush races, helped quite a bit.
Kind of like ol’ Barry Goldwater joking about sawing off the Atlantic seaboard in his ill-fated challenge to the popular President Johnson
Not that many years ago there were only a handful of us explaining exactly how conservatives were being betrayed. Back then, few seemed to want to listen much.
At least now it seems that most recognize the reality of that betrayal.
It’s progress I guess.
Not so sure they’re yet to the point of being ready to listen to how to actually fix the problem though.
Thad Cochran would laugh at your sincere post if he is capable of laughing. Does MS even know?
Thank you. I have never considered it before, so I’ll have to do some research.
Also MS like New Orleans is strongly anti-Confederate flag and monuments.
I think it is time for a tactical retreat.
In 2016 we vote in Trump and then we vote third party for every House Seat. Boycott the GOP House for 2016.
Just get rid of every republican in the House in 2016 and then elect solid conservatives in 2018.
Maybe then they’d get the message.
They called Turkey the “sick man” of Europe in the 19th century. It is now our foolish GOP that is the perpetual “sick man” of the USA. Our primary voters are too uninformed to correct things.
We have a ruling class that enriches themselves by engratiating themselves with big business by limiting competition through regulations and graft.
Oh lighten up. It’s an old fisherman joke.
I can understand where he is coming from.
I just can’t work with these ones any longer.
I know it would be easier to separate myself from them, but to heck with that, they are the problem, so I will separate them from me.
Bottom of the Atlantic seems like an ideal place for them to implement their useless schemes.
Alright, alright!
Like I said, I didn’t know what you were talking about soooo.... gotta take up the defensive. You know how it is, RAWR!
But, instead I will lighten up and listen to this little song that keeps me going when I have troubles.
Let’s enjoy!

It wasn’t a rock.
It was a rock LOBSTAH :D
Better late than never... it took him forever to discover that third world immigration is wrecking the country but at least he’s finally talking about it.
