Limbaugh - Donna Brazile Lets the Cat Out of the Bag: Dems Want to Run Against Romney
EIB Network ^ | January 9, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/09/2012 12:09:59 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: There is a story on the Drudge Report today from Sarah Palin in which Sarah Palin says that the White House wants Mitt Romney to be the Republican nominee. Now, not only did I tell you that the Broncos were gonna beat the Steelers, for months I have been telling you that the Democrats want Romney -- and you all know it. You've been listening here and you've heard people call me and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, that I'm full of it, that they're scared of Romney. "Romney is the only guy who can win." And I have said, "No," and I've stood tough, and I've said, "They can't wait for him. What's Occupy Wall Street all about but running against Romney? He's the Wall Street guy on our roster -- and then Romneycare," and I've laid it all out. So here comes Palin, she says it, and makes news -- and Donna Brazile has said it. This is post-debate coverage on ABC Saturday night. George Stephanopoulos, Democrat Party hack disguised as the debate moderator on ABC, had this discussion with Jon Karl and Donna Brazile.

BRAZILE: Mitt Romney won tonight because no one touched him -- and for Democrats, you know what? It was good news for us.

KARL: Why is that?

BRAZILE: Because we believe that the weakest candidate is the candidate that the Republicans are not attackin', and that's Mitt Romney.

KARL: Oh, come on.

STEPHANOPOULOS: No, you don't believe that, Donna.

RUSH: That's Stephanopoulos. What Stephanopoulos is saying is, "Shut up, Donna! What the hell are you doing, Donna? Did you not take your meds?" That, "Come on, Donna, what are you doing? You know you don't believe that" means, "Donna, shut up." You know, she's feeling her oats there. So Palin has come out say it it and Donna Brazile saying it. "Oh, yeah, the one guy not being attacked..." She practically gleeful here, and I'll tell you why she's gleeful. She's gleeful because what she sees is Romney getting the nomination, so she thinks it's okay to blow the lid off this cover now. "Mitt Romney won tonight, because no one touched him -- and for Democrats that's good news for us." Stephanopoulos says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why is that?" "Well, because we believe the weakest candidate is the candidate the Republicans are not attacking, and that's Romney," and Stephanopoulos says, "Oh, you don't believe that!" I guarantee she had a talking to. They had a talking to with her with her after this, because that's a major faux pas. The line that's supposed to come out of the Democrat Party is they're scared of Romney. The line is, "Oh, no, they don't want to face Romney. Romney is the toughest guy." That's the line, and they know, folks -- the Democrats know that our experts are stupid enough to believe that the Democrats will be honest and tell us who they really don't want to face. I'll tell you who they don't want to face when we come back.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The Democrats are afraid of any candidate they have sought to destroy. You can start with Sarah Palin, you can move on to Santorum. Any -- any conservative who showed any interest -- the Democrats set out to destroy. That's who they're genuinely afraid of. They are not hammering Mitt Romney at all, and Donna Brazile let the cat out of the bag. Don't doubt me.

No doubt about it in my mind. We need to make a stand against Mitt in South Carolina. If we don’t stop him there it gets harder the longer we go into the campaign. GO NEWT!

Of course they do! It’s Obama and his street cheap Wookie’s only hope of hanging onto the white house.

My jaw dropped when I heard her say that, and despite Steph’s attempt to clean up her mess, the bell cannot be unrung. I have no doubt she got some pretty intense phone calls from the Dem strategy crowd.

I wish someone could watch that segment CLOSELY again...as I recall, she purposefully WINKED at someone seated to her right, just as she made that remark...I wish someone could screen capture it...it made me wonder “WTF”? when I saw it.......Anyone else see that wink?

If Romney is the Republican nominee, a whole lot of conservatives will vote 3rd party, or write in, or not vote at all and that is the ONLY chance that Obama has of winning and the Dems KNOW IT

I saw the wink. She was very happy, and knew what she was saying. They are thrilled with the thought of Mitt Romney. They have spent millions on it and are heavily invested in the OWS movement, and the 99 and 1 % talking points. They can’t wait to talk about Bain Capitol and the evil Wall Street Candidate. And Rush is a smart man, but I was saying this even before he was. So what are we going to do about it. We better get it together soon or it will be too late. Newt, or the too Ricks are what is left. For me I will cast my lot with Newt, because he can out think and out perform President Obama. The others I am not so sure of.

“Be careful what you wish for”. Romney has the best chance of defeating Obama.Newt has too much baggage and can be negatively unpredictable. Romney is a very smart man who has demonstrated excellent judgement in private and public life.Santorum is a fine man of great character and intelligence but can't win.Gov. Perry is an excellent Gov.,but a terrible debater. Romney would easily defeat Obama when they meet for debate.

I disagree with everything you said. I really don’t understand how any conservative could form those impressions about Romney. He may be a nice guy, but politically, he’s nothing more than a slippery RINO.

If you vote for Romney, he will be the nominee, and if he is the nominee then Obama will be re-elected, and then when Obama is re-elected, you wake up in a roadside ditch.

Don’t wake up in a roadside ditch. Get rid of Romney.

Maine Yankee, I’m in agreement with you! Romney is Obama-lite and there are just too many people out there who will refuse to wear clothespins on their noses again and go vote for the Rino that the Republican establishment tells them they have to vote for. THAT will allow Obama to win! Why the heck do you think the “Dems Want to Run Against Romney”? Is it because Obama is a winner? NO! They know that virtually any Republican can beat Obama..... unless too many conservatives refuse to vote for the Republican candidate. And Romney is the recipe for that to happen.

Much as I dislike Romney, why would any Conservative trust what Donna Brazile says? Its not like she’ll give the ‘Pubbies GOOD advice or try to help them win.

I just don’t understand why Rush thinks Donna is such a friggin’ genius. I think this is a perfect case of trying to be too clever by half.
