I seriously doubt that todays GOP will do what is necessary
to save the Republic...and that is truly sad
"re-elected" by an soviet vote; right after the election, to keep the TEA Party @ bay.

While I totally agree with most of Limbaugh’s major points...I seriously doubt that todays GOP will do what is necessary to save the Republic...and that is truly sad

Damn, I hate to be so cynical about the possibility of the Repubs actually taking a firm stand... but that cynicism is so well-earned.
They’ve done it before... posturing before the inevitable collapse. The dems know the geldings will cave.. that’s why they stand their ground firmly. They never give an inch because they never have to.
It would be very refreshing for the Republicans to stand up and explicitly say where Obama wants this country to go. What his intentions are. What his methods will be. This stuff isn't hard to figure out -- so say it.
The media will laugh at our crazy talk, of course. What a bunch of paranoid morons those Republicans are! But, 50 years from now, at least we might look back and say, "This really was the plan, and we saw it and we did nothing to stop it."
Too bad they didn’t do it before the elections
Yeah, right. They’re too afraid of having THEIR secrets exposed, thus they are blackmailed into kowtowing.
There is nothing left to expose. In a way this has been the most transparent administration ever. It’s just that the GOP is deaf, dumb and stupid.... or cowards.
blind for stupid... still on my first cup of coffee.
Ya mean the one about infiltrating one or both US political parties?
Mission accomplished.
2) The President and the Dems enjoy the 'bully pulpit' and a compliant media. The best our Pubbies can expect is the political equivalent of a dunk tank, where reporters come out to ridicule and embarrass them.
The few good, conservative Repubs with the courage of their conviction are rarely given an opportunity to articulate their position without a team of "fact-checking" dissemblers eagerly parsing every word and spouting the administration's themes.
This sums it up perfectly. They want to insure their place at the trough. Screw the rest of the plebs.
Too true.
My definition of a patriot -- telling the public the things that the public needs to know, no matter the personal cost to the whistle-blower. General Petraeus clearly failed this test. He could and should say a lot more than he is saying, but the man is too cowardly to do so. I would say that the Republicans in the House and Senate are also manifestly unpatriotic. They put their own interests and reputatiosn ahead of the needs of the nation.
Gingrich articulated the way forward for the GOP majority House.(on Fox with Greta) Break the Cliff up into a series of “foothills” and propose open legislation, repeat, IN THE OPEN. Big problems are always more manageable if you break them into smaller pieces. I think Jeff Sessions is right on the mark, too. NO MORE CLOSED DOOR HEARINGS.
Right. I am past counting on the Republican leadership to remember who and where they are ... or WHO put them there!
They are less than worthless. In the corporate world and the everyday working world in this country, not one of them would be tolerated.
Every one of them has ceased to be a producer and is rather a liability that the rest of the honest and ‘right thinking’ Conservatives in America have to ‘work around’!
Nothing is going to happen with that idiot Boehner as Speaker.
No, that was FIVE YEARS AGO!
HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually grow a pair? HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually acknowledge conservative values? HOW LONG have we been waiting for the GOPe to actually acknowledge the biggest threat to our economy is out-of-control government spending?
And the biggest question -
HOW LONG will we continue to wait for the GOPe to do SOMETHING before we finally walk off the Pub's Plantation?
Yep. The future appears to be Big Government Socialism and the Pubbies wanna ride the train.
