Rush Limbaugh: I'm Not Your Problem, GOP
The Excellence In Broadcasting Network ^ | February 21, 2013 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 02/22/2013 1:43:36 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: There's this ongoing battle about me being too conservative for the Republican Party and too powerful, and the Republican Party is scared of me, and nobody will stand up to me, and they're not gonna get anywhere until they have the guts to stand up to me because I'm too conservative and they need to be more moderate. They need to move to the center, but I won't let them. But really, how powerful am I? How good am I? And then people are out there saying, "Look at Limbaugh's track record in presidential races. He's 1-for-6."

In the first place I'm 3-for-6, but the whole premise is flawed because I don't pick a single candidate. I am not in charge of any candidate anywhere and his campaign. I don't choose the consultants. I don't choose the ad people. I've got nothing to do -- and never have had anything to do -- with one election in this country. Zilch, zero, nada. So this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. This is the kind of stuff that is just infantile, and it's insulting, and it's insulting to everybody's intelligence... --snip--

On the Republican side, it's not just truth. Sarah Palin wasn't wrong about anything. She didn't lie about anything. Sarah Palin embarrassed some people. So they had to get rid of her. The point is, the Republicans will not circle the wagons and defend very many. Conservatives will not circle the wagons and defend. Now, I defended Clarence Thomas not even knowing who he was 'cause I knew what happened. I knew the libs were lying about him because I know the libs.

There are some conservatives today, if Clarence Thomas was accused today about Anita Hill, would throw him overboard....

Dole & Romney were GOP choices... The GOP villainized Palin and then eliminated Herman Cain as a candidate because they knew both of them would at least attempt to change Washington, The GOP does want control, as long as our option is somebody they can control, but they dont want Washington changed any more than the libs do!

Cain was in it as a ‘conservative’ spoiler, and only brought down once he got too big for his britches. He plays the game, and he was playing.

Liberal Democrats are the political component of MSM journalism. That’s where the nest is.

Absolutely CORRECT! Which is why I've said for years now that when the revolution starts (and that's not a matter of "if" it's only a matter of time ... "when") first thing we should do is target the media for elimination.

The lamestream media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DemoKKKrat Party. Kill them first, stop the propaganda, then the rest of the war is completely winnable.

Just my .02 (see tagline.)

I still say its the other way around. Democrats do what THE MEDIA tell them to do.

Exactly so, except change GOP to GOPe.

There are a lot of areas where TEA Party-influenced real conservatives have made great strides in taking over the GOP.

The Flag-burning Regressives try to keep tying the GOP to Limbaugh. However, the only time the Party actually DID listen to Limbaugh was during the 1994 elections, when they swept to power in an unprecedented wave. Maybe in 2010, when people were listening to Limbaugh and took back the House and won over 700 elected seats nationwide.

Maybe the GOP needs to start listening to the Doctor of Democracy.

Also Rand Paul is making a good case for himself. He's actually on the news shows talking about the fallacy of baseline budgeting and the "cuts" in the "rate of increase".

What the GOP needs is someone who'll FIGHT!

Until they change the primary system to allow all states to participate, this is all an intellectual exercise significant of nothing. The current practice allows the elite to continue controlling the outcome by forcing a prolonged fight that erodes the candidates’ ability to continue the fight until all states have a chance to have a say.

In Minnesota, we vote either “Me, too!” or stay home. We don’t have another choice. I wish I cared about this talk of what Conservatives must do or not do.

The Democrats and MSM chose our candidates in the last two elections, the kind of “to get along, you go along” and you must compromise but not the liberals. Next election, we need a fighter.

The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.

It has lost its function.

There is no check and balance on the system when a single party controls both houses of Congress as it does in everything but name, and the Presidency, and the press, and the electoral process.

If we cannot have fair and free elections in the USA, we are no longer a Republic in anything but name. We cannot control who votes, or how many times. We cannot verify any vote, either at the time or later. We cannot prosecute anyone except for low level and meaningless violations of voting law. We cannot limit poll reporting until all votes are in to avoid fraud. We cannot remove people from the roles if they are not citizens, or if they are dead, or if they are criminals.

Neither party is trying to correct the one thing which would correct all others. Even the political parties have agreed not to challenge the fraud of each other’s workers. Who does that? People from the same team, that’s who.

My question: If the GOPe is willing to sacrifice a term or two of the presidency to put down the tea party rebellion, just what exactly is the agenda that they are seeking once they can run an undivided party that differs from what the tea party wants? Can someone tell me where the difference is? I think it is a matter of the old guard not wanted to lose their sinecure. What a sad day if they were willing to take us all down.

But, it happens all over the world. Why would we not suffer from the same greed as the rest of the world.

At least going from Uganda to South Sudan, you may at least have to give the guard a bottle of water. I would rather have that decree of graft that the level we now have in this country. I can’t afford it.

>>Again, Rush was right. Sandra is/was a slut. Do the math! <<

He is/was 100% dead-on (and Rush let us down when he backed off).

OBJECTIVELY, let us look at the proposition (OK, these jokes keep writing themselves):

Let us posit Woman A of medium to low beauty, let us call her “Filandra Socks.” She possesses the accouterments born to females. She can choose to utilize these accouterments as follows:

1. She can remain chaste and keep her “lady parts” for the One True Love and stand before God and pray that He smiles upon and blesses her sanctified Union. The results of this sanctified union are called “children” and are the REASON marriages exist.

2. She can find gentlemen who meet a sufficiency of her criteria for acceptable rubbing of genital organs. Sexual practices with no regard for the results can create “bastards.” Should a bastard result from her pleasuring herself, Filandera can resort to the courts, wholly owned by the Femninatzis whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy men. They have established a mechanism to do just that with gleeful abandon.

3. She can use said methods to continue her sexual proclivities and hope for the best, demanding the taxpayer pay to inhibit the natural results of her wanton activities. Should Fialndria continue to pursue her wanton ways and demand her simple animalistic drives be SUBSIDIZED, we can and should assign monetary value to her activities. This is called “prostitution” (money for sex). It may pain Nancy (”George”) Pelosi to hear it, but paying for sexual favors is written into virtually every State code. It is universally called “prostitution.”

Let the liberals fall where they may.

The GOPe has one huge problem:

They support globalization. They support sending American jobs abroad.

That is an increasingly huge problem. America is no longer the largest exporter in the world. Now that is China. Who supplies things back to AMERICA.

The thing is, everything we buy from China builds China up more, because everything is owned in “half plus 1%” by China. So all the exporting streaming out of China now, is all growing China.

This is a huge problem.

America needs to bring home manufacturing now.

All of it.

Rush has been trying to say since last summer that the Republican party is corrupted and does not represent conservatives. It represents itself, its power and fortunes. He is correct.

Newt is great in a debate, but when he gets back in DC he falls back into the RINO mold and supports most every lib democrat-lite talking point out there, i.e. global warming, amnesty, welfare, state-run healthcare, etc.
