Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday’s
Mississippi congressional defeat:
Ladies and gentlemen, go ahead and attack me. Don’t attack the
moderates in the party; don’t attack the Republican establishment;
don’t attack the country club types who are in the process of
destroying the Republican Party. No, no, no, no, go right ahead and
attack me… .
[T]he Republican Party … has sold out to the
pseudoconservatives of the New York Times and the DC-New York media
establishment who think that Rockefeller Republicanism and country
club Republicanism is the future of the party… .
They see the loss of these three seats as evidence that their
Big Government conservatism is the only way to win elections, that
if the Republicans had run somebody like McCain, if the
Republicans’ candidate down there had been pro-global warming as
the Democrats wanted, and for a compassionate, active government
that grows larger, then they would have won. That is the way
they’re going to take this. That’s the way they’re going to spin it
at the RNC on down. They see the destruction and the mayhem they’ve
unleashed in the Republican Party as justification for more of the
same. They blame conservatism where conservatism has been
abandoned.
The
whole thing is worth reading.
