- "We have to be wise as serpents regarding our dealings with the weasels in the liberal world. "
Just a suggestion.
Now, let me show you something.
- The Limbaugh Theorem Expanded to the Republican Establishment
" RUSH: Let me take a stab at something. You know the Limbaugh Theorem.
I think it could be expanded to the Republican establishment in parts, in this sense.
The Republican establishment sometimes acts as if they've never managed anything.
They act as if they don't control the Republican Party today.
They rail against straw men of their own creation.
Andy Card was on Martha MacCallum's show on Fox this morning and was talking about Republican Party has to be "inclusive, not exclusive."
Well, who's been running the Republican Party?- It certainly isn't conservatives.
He didn't name names.
She didn't ask him, "Well, who's being excluded?"
But all I know is, it's not conservatives excluding anybody.
If anybody's being excluded, it is the conservatives.
Yet these establishment guys are coming along and trying to act like
- whatever this party has become, they haven't been running it.
Just like whatever's happening to the country, Obama's not running it.
It's an amazing phenomenon!
These guys attack policies that they have contributed to:
- Amnesty, debt, growth of government.
- The Republicans have done their own big spending.
They don't seem to be pushing much of spending cuts.
They're letting Obama have what he wants here,
- but they claim all the while to oppose all of this.
- I'm not saying these guys are the same as Democrats.
They're not the same as the radical left.
But I am saying that, in many parts, they're not taking responsibility for what's happened.
They go out, they lose elections, and they blame everybody else!
They're running the party. We're not.
Safe to say?
- I mean, they're getting the nominees they want and they're losing,
- and somehow it's our fault for being "exclusive"?
You know, the Republican elites are the same as the Democrat elites,
- and they set up these straw men, and they try to act like
- everything they're doing is not their doing
and not their responsibility.
So when we as conservatives say,
- "Enough is enough!
There has to be at least one political party that represents liberty and property rights and the rule of law,"
- and calls us extremists
and then starts complaining that the party isn't a big tent.
- Now, don't misunderstand.
- I'm not accusing them of being Obama,
but there are similar traits here as applicable to the Limbaugh Theorem.
I have my little notes I jotted here off to the side, and I'll expand on 'em."
