RUSH: Republicans must walk away from any deal with Obama and the Democrats on the fiscal cliff

Yesterday Charles Krauthammer said that Republicans have leverage right now with the president on this fiscal cliff deal because if tax rates go up on all Americans, Obama’s second term will begin in a recession as the higher tax rates will slow growth even more, and Krauthammer contends that Obama doesn’t want that.

But Rush passionately disagrees noting that analysis disregards Obama’s entire first term. Rush believes that Obama doesn’t care about having a successful economy in his second term, that it’s all part of his push to transform this country into a welfare state because that’s what is fair in his eyes and that’s the only legacy he cares about.

what history supports the fact that they will get killed in the next election? (hint, there is not much)”

What history is there that the GOP presidential candidate will boldly articulate the solutions that the country actually needs to dig itself out of the pit that we have now fallen into (hint there is zero).

And that is more of the problem as I see it. It’s not just that the GOP is losing at the presidential level time and again (in the last six presidential elections the GOP candidate has lost the popular vote five times, and lost the election four times), it is going moderate and still losing. Failing to contrast with the other party and still losing is a serious problem.

I don’t have an actual solution here, but I think the problem with the GOP (whose current head is John Boehner...) is most likely beyond redemption.

But if a legit alternative doesn’t emerge, then, there is nothing we can do, except support the next moderate and hope that somehow we can eke out a 2004 style victory.
