From Rush today:
January 06, 2015

“Here we’ve just given the House Republicans the biggest majority in both houses they’ve ever seen, and they’re out actively attempting to impugn, destroy, mock, make fun of the people that gave it to them, their own voters. It’s a stunning thing to behold.”

“Can anybody name a time when the party’s own leadership turned on its base the way the GOP leadership has turned on the Republican base? Can you think of a time when the Democrats have turned on their base like this? And that base deserves to be turned on. If there’s ever a base that deserves to be ignored and apologized for, it’s the Democrat base.”

Yet it was Rush who also famously repeated even today “You do not attempt to take out the king unless you are sure you succeed”.

He needs to re-read his last children’s book. Our Founders had no surety they were going to achieve anything but their own hanging.

Yet their principles told them that the risk is worth it.

Not so apparently by the Spokesman for the Conservative movement.

Lord help us. We are stuck on stupid.

Rush was right...I hope Rush goes redline tomorrow and gets angry...wonder what Levin said today. Boeher and his posse are traitors.

Conservatives are not the gop base. Those who were left were just purged in case you hadn’t noticed.

Rush is spot on.

Did he say what we ought to do to respond? Likely not.

I only see one solution for the country, and he’s not likely to advocate that on air.
