RUSH: Since I have explained all this logically -- and the end result of explaining this logically is to illustrate the on-the-surface illogic of all of these people afraid of the government shutdown. It simply is illogical. Everybody bleating about, "No, no! No, no! Ohhhh, no! Shut down the government? Oh, my God! Shut down the government? We're gonna get blamed. We're gonna get creamed! No! No!" They don't really mean that. Here's what it all means.
They may mean that, but when you strip all this away, what it really means is -- and batten down the hatches here. It means that the vast majority of the membership of the Republican establishment and their donors want amnesty. That's what all this means. You've gotta cut through the noise here, which is one of the things I always try to do, not get distracted, 'cause all of this talk about a government shutdown is a sideshow. These people are smart enough to know.
Hell, if I can figure it out, they can.
"A government shutdown is so devastating that we can't recover! Oh, my God," and we only won a landslide election? What this is about is the establishment concocting an excuse where they don't have to stop Obama because they don't want to, folks. That's the only logical interpretation for all of this. The election results are clear. The voters don't want any more of what Obama is promising, implementing or offering. They don't want any more of it.
The election was the only way people in this country have of saying "stop." Well, the people they elected to stop it, at least in the case of amnesty, don't want to stop it. But they can't come out and say that. They can't come, after all of this, and act like they are as eager for amnesty as Obama, but they are. We know it to be true. We know the Republican establishment, we know the Chamber of Commerce, we know that many of the donors want amnesty.
They want all of these low-skilled and low-educated workers because they're low-wage. They've not even denied this, in recent months/years. So what this is really all about is it's just easier for these people to hide behind the dangers of a government shutdown as the excuse for not stopping Obama. That's all this really is, because they're not this shortsighted.
They don't really think we can't shut down the government and stop Obama because of a poll in the Washington Post about being blamed for a shutdown. It's that they don't want to. The polling data is a convenient excuse. "Hey, look, if we do it we're gonna get creamed! We just won, and you want us to throw away this victory by ticking off the people who just elected us?" It's a sideshow excuse. That's what it is. Face it.
Ya THINK?
I can’t believe that Rush of all people is just now noticing this!
This is what happens when REALITY hits your PARADIGM and Rush finally noticed the GOP is not his friend they are merely Democrat/Commie Light.
I do wonder what Americans will do in 2016 cause they voted for the GOP to stop OBAMA and since they can’t or wont, Lord knows whom if anyone they will vote for in next election cycle.
Pray for the Republic we are in dangerous waters

Perhaps it’s best.
The GOP is a dead party walking and it’s time for conservatives to cast them into the ditch of rotting liberalism.
Face it, folks, we’re due for a good amount of altitude loss until we rise up and shove liberal ideas where light does not shine.
The people elected Republicans to stop 0bama.
Republicans refuse to do what they were sent to do.
CORPORATIST UNIPARTY WUSSIES!
So lets hang what Barry is doing on his fellow Dems and obstruct at every opportunity while sending up bill after bill and make the SOB veto them. Lets make Barry the president of "No"...
Yup. Get the poor American taxpayer schlubs to pay, through everything from welfare through the criminal justice system to Medicare, for the subsidized costs of Chamber of Commerce and other larger-business hiring interests. It is a rent-seeking siphoning of money from Joe Average to Crony Capitalists.
Oh, along the way, we lose having an educated, majority of Constitution-backing voters? “Pshaw—that’s so abstract and in the future. With the money we’re getting now, we’ll be able to insulate ourselves and our families from the negative social effects anway.”
It's heartbreaking, but you're entirely right.
Exactly!
In another month or so all we are going to be hearing is how we have to accept either Jeb Bush or Romney because the alternative is Hillary. What won't be said is that there really isn't any difference between the three of them.
The GOP has surrendered on abortion, surrendered on same-sex "marriage" and now they are surrendering on immigration, it's time the GOP went the way of the Whigs.
So you’d have a GOP-majority Senate and House simply abdicate their legislative powers and let Obama dictate what over-bloated budget pays for what republic-destroying amnesty—just so they can somehow avoid having the MSM and Dems pin “shutting down the government” on them?
That complete surrender is somehow supposed to be less than a total victory for Obama and his fellow Leftists?
Amen. Go, Tea Party!
And a lot of that noise will be coming from people here.
The Republicans do NOT know how to wage political war. Even worse, I daresay the R’s in DC have more in common with the leftists than they do with us here in flyover country. Rush is right. The GOP WANTS amnesty, and every single R voter who voted R because, well, R’s are better than D’s, is a complete moron and certainly a large part of the problem as well. I can tell you I won’t be voting R for the foreseeable future. I’ll vote for Cruz 2016, so long as it’s not an R ticket. I refuse to continue supporting these traitorous wretches.
” Oh, along the way, we lose having an educated, majority of Constitution-backing voters? Pshawthats so abstract and in the future. With the money were getting now, well be able to insulate ourselves and our families from the negative social effects anway.”
You just nailed it.
Yep.
Baraq: Chicago Mob
Pelosi: East Coast Mob
Reid: Nevada Mob
Boehner: Cincinnati country club
No, that is a false equation...I am for confronting the SOB where we can, but not for “shutting down the government” yet again. Like it or not, the media and the Democrats have successfully pinned this on conservatives. If we “shut the government down”, I think we will lose 2016. If we really are going to make progress rolling back big government, we will need both bodies of congress and the Presidency. If Obama vetoes solid legislation that America wants or obstructs, pound away at him. Choosing our targets wisely is not surrendering...
I wonder when Rush will start using the term?
