Yay! Limbaugh Blows Off GOP Rebranding Effort -- food fight! C'mon Cantor, don't take that shit
from that windbag! Tell him where to stick it!

:popcorn:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/04/limbaugh-on-gop-re-brandi_n_195951.html

On Monday Rush Limbaugh became the most prominent in a series of conservative figures to push back against a new Republican re-branding effort launched by GOP luminaries over the weekend.

During his program, the brash radio personality whacked the National Council for a New America -- an effort undertaken by, among others, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, John McCain, and Eric Cantor to repair the party's image after the '08 election -- saying that rather than a "listening tour," what the party needed was "a teaching tour."

"I'm weary of the same people who drove us to this point telling us what we have to do now. I'm not including Jeb in that. Jeb was not part of the campaign last year," said Limbaugh. "But everybody else on this bus tour -- for the most part -- is responsible for where we are. We did it their way in 2008. We did it with the candidate and approach that they thought would work. Pandering. 'We got to listen to the American people.' I maintain that when a politician says we have to listen to the American people and learn, we are pandering. We're not leading."

1. "I'm not including Jeb in that".
Of course you aren't you fat fuck especially since he was probably the one that got the plug pulled on your drug possession rap.

6. Is this the wingnuts' mantra for today? I heard Laura Ingraham talking
similarly this morning as I was driving in. It was pretty funny. They are perfectly happy with just the dead-enders and are convinced that this will bring them back to power. They are convinced that it was all because they weren't conservative enough...as though people who leaned conservative would vote for a "socialist" instead of a moderate right, as they define McCain.

I hope they keep this delusion up for the next 8 years, at least.

9. For some time ...



I've been thinking they must all get together on a conference
call early in the AM so they can coordinate their trashy TP's.

11. Jeb wasn't a part of the 08 campaign because the family name was political poison.
But mentioning that would be telling the truth about Limbo's masters.

No chance of that happening is there gasbag.

12. Go get 'em!
The manly he-men of the Republican Party don't "listen" to nobody! They dictate terms. They issue proclamations. They tell people what they're going to do (in carefully coded language), and they do it.

Listening is for sissies! Tell 'em Rush!

Please, oh please, oh please, oh please. We'll have to shield ourselves from the implosion at Free Republic.

16. Uh-oh, looks like Saint Sarah d'Ak will be the salvation of the council!
I don't think Sara will let these guys walk all over her. Hopefully, she'll send them in the right direction.
Voting for these guys would be a dumb move. Their core values aren't ingrained enough.
This used to be a free country, and I'd like it to be free again. I'd like to keep what I earn. I'd like to think and believe freely without some politician threatening to imprison me for it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One small step in the right direction. Now is the time to retire, most, if not all RINO’s and Moderates. Need more like Sarah. Consult people like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Rush Limbaugh for additional names of rock solid Americans who believe in the winning ways of conservatism.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palin will now have a national platform to show the contrasts between herself, and the Rinos in the same arena!

Palin is outstanding when left to be herself! She is wiser than before, and beware a woman scorned!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palin's involvement in the group will help rebut the idea that the National Council is an organ of the establishment wing of the party set up to keep the Palins and Gov. Mark Sanford's (S.C.) -- both of whom are more hardline conservatives -- from taking over control of the party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember Palin’s Motto?

What’s the difference between a hocky mom and a pit bull!

LIPSTICK!

They may have invited a mongoos into the vipers den!

20. GIVE RUSH MORE AIR TIME!!!
Airwaves need to be opened up even more for Rush to set everything straight with this national crisis.
:rofl:


Rush's new slogan:
JEB 2012

Hmm... Now that would bring an end to the world, if he were sworn in on December 21, 2012.

"Chickenhawkery, hypocrisy,and propaganda have made us Republicon Homelanders all that we are today -- Fail Freaks Extraordinaire -- and since that peculiar condition causes me to be paid $30 million a year to spin, whine, and propagandize, I insist that all you Republicon Sheeple keep on following me"
