    Rush Limbaugh livid: GOP has death wish

    Rush Limbaugh livid: GOP has death wish
    Republicans 'as dangerous to this country as the Democrat Party is'


    Talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh says the Republican Party has a death wish – and is as dangerous to the United States as the Democrat Party and its czars.

    Limbaugh's comments came today as he was discussing the race for Congress in New York's 23rd district, where the GOP picked a liberal nominee to oppose a liberal Democrat, passing over a conservative candidate who wanted to represent the GOP, a candidate now pursuing the seat as a third-party candidate.

    "They have a death wish. The Republican Party has a death wish. Gallup: 40 percent of Americans now say they are conservative, 20 percent say they're liberal, 36 percent say they're moderates. And of those three groups, which one is being ignored – not just ignored – which one is being attacked by the Republican Party? The conservatives! " Limbaugh said today.
    "It's worse than I thought. I thought this was just based on elitism and northeast moderate liberalism, and embarrassment of the people that the social issues attract to the party. But now it's just plain stupidity," he continued.

    "The Republican Party, as constituted is as dangerous to this country as the Democrat Party is. 'But Rush, party loyalty is party loyalty, and the local Republican committee up there has endorsed Scozzafava.' So? I'm saying the two parties are the same. I guess I need to amend it a little bit, but, man, when I saw that they were running ads, as I say, ruined two hours of my day," he said.

    In the district, conservative Doug Hoffman has been endorsed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson and others.

    But Hoffman was passed over by local Republican leaders in favor of Dede Scozzafava, who has staked out a series of liberal positions often linked to the Democrat Party, endorsing abortion and pro-homosexual perspectives.
    "Running in a conservative district where the incumbent went off to be secretary of the Army, all three candidates have the distinction … of seeing their race attract national attention. … Hoffman had previously earned the backing of prominent conservative organizations such as the fiscally conservative Club for Growth and the socially conservative Concerned Women for America PAC," Limbaugh said.

    An endorsement of Scozzafava by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was not what should have happened, Limbaugh said, since others supporting Scozzafava include Planned Parenthood, NARAL and others. .
    "This is not how Reagan won," Limbaugh said. "Reagan was not out there talking about a big tent. If I recall correctly Reagan publicly invited liberal Republicans to go their own way. His tent was a little narrow but it was crowded. His tent was just mainstream conservatism, the kind of conservatism that founded the country. "

    Is this Captain going down with the ship ???

    Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele;

    "I support the republican nominee as the republican party chairman, and that's the way it should go, right?" Steele told NBC's Chuck Todd this morning during an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
    Yeah, if you don't have any principles.


    I stopped donating to the Republican party many years ago, and THIS is why; supporting a liberal just because they have an "R" next to their name is not helping anyone.

    Too bad, too. There's nobody to replace the Republicans with. We now have the Socialist Party and the Liberal Democrat Party.

    I think the higher ups in the Republican Party have been bought by the left. C'mon, join us, bilk the middle class until they're penniless and then they'll be your serfs.

    It's evil, and I'm not joking.

    I agree generally, but I think we're still a good ways from being serfs yet; we're too well armed.

    Well, I'm afraid we're running out of options besides a physical revolt.

    I have all but stopped listening to Rush cause he has been a cheerleader for the Republicans second only to his self promotion.
    Maybe I should give him a second chance. Or I guess this would be his fourth chance with me. He drives me crazy most of the time.
