Democrat Party Exists to Defeat Us, But the GOP Doesn't Return the Sentiment
The Rush Limbaugh Program ^ | 10 August 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Robin in Le Mars, Iowa, thank you for calling. I appreciate your waiting. Hello.

CALLER: Oh, no problem. Thank you, sir, for taking my call.

RUSH: You bet.

CALLER: You know, yesterday you were talking about how Romney shouldn't even play into the distractions -- you know, with the taxes and the bad ads and all of that. How he shouldn't go down that road.

RUSH: Uh, wellll, I think I was saying that other people were making that point.

CALLER: Okay. But aren't we...? Well, you also said that we'd love to see him or see the liberals on the defensive.

RUSH: That I did. We want to see them on the defensive, absolutely.

CALLER: Well, why are...? (scoffs) What I'm seeing is that we're making it so much harder than it really is. Why don't we keep it simple? Why play into the game if we know that's what it is, is a game? I mean, it's a distraction game. Obama can't talk about the issues, correct, because he's got a horrible record?

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: So why are we even letting them distract us? Why can't Romney get out there and actually say, "Hey, I got 90 days to prove to this country that I am what this country needs, and I'm not going to talk about something that is totally misguided, half truths. Let's get back to talking about what America needs." Why can't he just...? Or even his surrogates. Why in the world would they bring Romneycare into the game? Why are we --

RUSH: Wait, wait a minute.

CALLER: Mmm-hmm?

RUSH: You're talking about his press spokesman that went out on TV and responded to the "Romney Murdered My Wife" ad by talking about Romneycare; is that what you mean?

CALLER: Exactly. Why in the world would we volunteer that? We don't want to talk about Romneycare in the first place. And when they're talking about murder, we bring up Romneycare? We're making it harder than it is. Keep it simple. "We don't want to talk about this because it's half truths."

RUSH: Well, I asked this question. A lot of people are. In fact, the Washington Examiner asked me. I made some comments about this the other day. There's an actual column by Byron York about this, and my reaction was posted last night. I, like a lot of people, was dumbfounded, because the Romney team accepted the premise. It's not so much you bring Romneycare into it, but here's a guy claiming that you killed his wife and you say, "Yeah, but she might have lived longer if she lived in Massachusetts."

What the hell?

"Why accept the premise?" is my point.

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: And I really think that the problem here is that... It was asked of me by a reporter, "Why did you even go after the spokeswoman?" The reporter said, "Whenever Obama has a person commit a gaffe like a 'Blabbermouth' Schultz or any of his other supporters," like Harry Reid and this mythical, magical friend who claims Romney hasn't paid taxes, "the Democrats rally around whoever says whatever ridiculous thing. They rally around them."

The question I got was: "How come you went ballistic on Andrea Saul?" That's the woman you saw on Fox bring up Romneycare. "How come the Republicans don't form a protective circle around Romney and his people like the Democrats do?" And I said, "There's a very simple reason for this. The Democrats are unified. They're unified with one objective, and that's creaming us. They are solely animated and organized and energized at the prospect of defeating conservatives and Republicans.

"Because if they do that, then everything else they want to do they get to do. That's their sole purpose is beat us. We are their biggest enemy in the world. We're a bigger than enemy than al-Qaeda. We are a bigger enemy to them than any terrorist attack on this country. Because if they finish us off, there's nobody to stop them in anything they do." So I think a lot of people misunderstand. They think that what really animates the Obama campaign is facilitating the purchasing of another car company or coming up with whatever policy.

It isn't.

It's beating us!

Once we're out of the way, there's no stopping them to whatever they want to do. That's not what animates the Republican Party. The Republican Party and the conservative wing of the Republican Party are not unified, because we don't have the same objective. Our objective is to wipe out the liberals! The Republican Party's objective, apparently, isn't. They have a different objective. I don't know what it is. I mean, I know they want to win. But they don't look at the liberals as an enemy to this nation's founding like we do.

The liberals, the Democrats and everybody in Obama's camp looks at us as the biggest threat to their way of life that exists. The Republican Party doesn't see the Democrat Party that way. As such, they're not organized to take the fight to them in that regard. We conservatives are. That's why there is a divide. That's why when a Romney spokesman goofs up, we point it out. Because we conservatives think that we've got a Republican Party that doesn't know what it's doing.

And we've got to steer them down the right road for their own good. The liberals don't have this problem. They have a singular purpose. Now, they are a varied constituency, and they've got constituency groups that all want different things. But that's not what unifies them. The feminists don't like the environmentalists because they share things in common. The reason the environmentalist wackos and feminazis are on the same team is because they both have the same objective.

Get rid of us and there's no stopping what else they want to do.

We don't have that characteristic, that killer instinct. We're missing it. It's the best I can come up with. When you people call here and ask me, like this woman is doing, "Why don't Republicans do X?" I don't know! If I ran them, they would. The only way I can explain it is they don't look at the Democrat Party the same way I do. They don't look at Obama and see the great threat to the country that I do. They see Obama as a political opponent that you get every four years and you try to beat.

And you go out and raise more money and run more clever ads and pick the right vice president. All this minutia, day-to-day political crap isn't going to get this done. That's why I don't care who the vice presidential nominee is. Well, it's not that I don't care who it is, but I'm not caught up in the game of who it's going to be. Byron York asked me... This is an interesting thing. You might find it interesting. He's the guy that did the story. He said, "Do you make it a policy to not know the people you talk about, or do you try to get to know them?"

I said, "No. I don't hang around political people, but that's not by design. I just don't live where they live." What he's asking is, "Is it harder to criticize people you know?" It is. "Is it harder to criticize your friends?" Yeah, it is, which is another reason I don't want to ever live in Washington. I don't want to be corrupted by that very thing that you can't be critical of people who happen to become acquaintances and, in some cases, friends. But that's the big problem, folks, is that we don't have a singular, unified reason for existing on the right.

It's not just the GOP is it though.

Look at many in talk radio who remain cowardly when the homostapo act up all the time, this issue never gets mentioned.
Look how many talk about conservative social issues? Hardly any and if any of them do then they are attacked by our side.

We have true people like Col Allen West , Sarah Michelle, B etc etc etc who will take the fight to the left but our side attacks them.

Talk radio like Hannity never ever discuss conservative social issues because they are cowards.
They don't want to piss of their liberal elitist pals, they dont want to be called a name off their media pals.

The GOP always thinks that if they are nice to the left then the media might just happen to like them but if anyone on our side actually grows a set of balls and takes the fight to the left our side tells them to shut up, to not saying anything and be nice.

Our side the GOP I mean only can fight our own, Rick, S, Newt, Sarah, Michelle, West etc are all proof that the GOP can fight but fight only our side.

The GOP , some in talk radio it seems don't care about losing just as they get to keep their jobs, their power, their money , their pockets always have to be lined and to hell with conservatives, or this country.

Leave it to Romney to haul out the Country Club Rulebook and show up with the Clubhouse Lawyer ...to what Obama has planned as a gun, knife and broken bottle party.

Tom DeLay ...and Lee Atwater are the only Republicans I can recall who understood that politics, as practiced by the Democrat Party, was a bar-room brawl-—and they had the savvy to read the room right before-hand and knew who was going to do what and when.

The left sees the right as EVIL to be eradicated. Like Lenin saw the Kulaks — “bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine.”

Historically, this kind of hatred is very effective in unifying a sufficient number of operatives to achieve its destructive objectives. We, the opposition mounting a response, fear losing our respectability, getting jailed, if we go balls to the wall. The left, however, celebrates their political martyrs.

The moral: only when conservatives realize we really have nothing more to lose will we have the creative vision and energy to start winning.

Take this Lenin letter as an example of Leftist sentiment ...

11-8-18

Send to Penza
To Comrades Kuraev,
Bosh, Minkin and
other Penza
communists

Comrades! The revolt by the five kulak volost’s must be suppressed
without mercy. The interest of the entire revolution demands this,
because we have now before us our final decisive battle “with the
kulaks.” We need to set an example.

1) You need to hang (hang without fail, so that the public
sees) at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the
bloodsuckers.
2) Publish their names.
3) Take away all of their grain.
4) Execute the hostages - in accordance with yesterday’s
telegram.

This needs to be accomplished in such a way, that people for
hundreds of miles around will see, tremble, know and scream out:
let’s choke and strangle those blood-sucking kulaks.

Telegraph us acknowledging receipt and execution of this.

Yours, Lenin

P.S. Use your toughest people for this.

..................................
TRANSLATOR’S COMMENTS: Lenin uses the derogative term
kulach’e in reference to the class of prosperous peasants. A volost’
was a territorial/administrative unit consisting of a few villages and
surrounding land.

The GOP establishment has no moral authority, no social conservatism, that is why they appear as bloodless, passionless men, only caring about money and respectable titles and wanting to be treated as respectable, polite, political bench sitters, and they are just that.

They are more comfortable in a political world like that of the 1930s to 1994, with the passion filled democrats doing whatever they want with all their causes and crusades and social and cultural movements, and the GOP politely fighting for tax issues and defense issues and hiding behind the democrats skirts on immigration.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We shouldn't expect any miracles. Why?

1) Abortion: If conservatives/Christians **really** really**really** wanted to shut down abortion, they would. Geeze! Millions turned out for a chicken sandwich. Picket an abortion center? Not so much.

2) Nearly 85% of our nation's children attend our government's socialist-entitlement, single-payer, and GODLESS schools. Just by attending our nation's children **must** think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. They also risk learning that any voting mob powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling can give them **lots** of “free stuff”. This is evil. These godless socialist entitlement schools exist because conservative/Christians send their children into them. If they **really** really** really *** wanted to end this abomination in many counties ( such as mine) these godless and socialist schools could be closed down permanently within a day simply by removing their children.

It is likely that God in not happy with us. It is my bet that He is especially annoyed with conservative/Christians!

On social issues much of the GOP establishment believe the same thing the Rats do, they just make a weak pretense that they don't. At the risk of sounding like a one note poster pa significant part of the reason involving gay issues is that a significant number of GOP politruks are closeted queers. Think Steve Schmitz and why he really was so outraged over Palin. These people either reacted in private with rage or seething contempt at the crowds at Chick-Fila. Unfortunately most white middle class Americans do not realize they have no constituency in either party and are just looked at as a source of credulous fool voters for GOP establishment whores.

Many of us fight against abortion in many ways. Protesting got people jailed, beaten and killed... but we are making a difference and in Mississippi we are going to close the last abortion/murder inc. house... soon. We are down to one... we actually fight it using our government.

You cannot blame Christians for obama and electing the dims time after time. IMHO, those are not true Christians or they couldn't vote the way that they do. GOD will deal with them in HIS time and in HIS way.

What about Christians sending children into the godless government schools?

In my county, if Christians removed their kids, there would be no government schools. And...The fact that there are so many teachers, government school workers, vendors and their employees sitting in the pews, the ministers will not act to rescue their children.

By the way, I wonder how many Christian ministers have spouses working in the godless government schools.

I don’t think God will be happy with us.

Our county Tea Parties are very active in getting conservatives into the Republican Party pipeline. We have seen some major successes and the RINOs (even if their heart isn't in the right place) are feeling the heat to do the right thing.

All of the children in my family have been sent to Christian schools over the past 25 years.
