LIMBAUGH ON GINGRICH SC VICTORY: ‘THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT IS IN FULL-BLOWN PANIC’

Posted on January 23, 2012 at 7:23pm by Becket Adams


“Folks, the Republican establishment is in a full-blown panic,” conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said on Monday.

Limbaugh took the time to point out that the reaction from “Republican consultants” and “establishment people” was almost exactly what he had predicted back in November, 2011. Limbaugh had said that a Gingrich-Romney upset would cause a violent reaction from the “establishment” types. So far, he’s been proven correct.

“They’re in an [up]roar, a panic, they are secretly trying to get Mitch Daniels [R-IN] to get back in the race. There are entreaties being made to Bobby Jindal [R-LA] to get back in the race. They are panicked! They are scared to death they are going to lose the house and not win the senate…that’s their primary concern. It’s about the senate!”

Why would the establishment put such a large emphasis on keeping the senate?

“It’s about being in charge of the money. It’s not about cutting spending, the republican establishment has not signed on to the cutting spending business,” Limbaugh said.

“’What do you mean, who are the Republican establishment?,’” Limbaugh asked. “The Republican establishment is two things: they don’t like conservatives and they’re not really all that concerned about spending. They want to be in charge of it. That‘s who they are. And they are not going to be in charge of it if they don’t hold the House and if they don’t pick up the Senate – and that’s really what they want.”

If holding the Senate and the House is at the forefront of “the establishment’s” mind, what did a loss for Romney in South Carolina mean?

“Newt has thrown this thing into a tizzy! They don’t know what to do. They wanted this wrapped up. They don’t understand why it happened. They are blaming all the wrong people. They are blaming their own voters. They’re blaming the media. They’re blaming stupidity on the part of the voters. They haven’t the slightest idea why this happened in South Carolina. It’s not too much democracy going on in their minds; they just don’t understand it,” Limbaugh said.

“They don’t understand the base of their own party. They resent the base of their own party. They don’t understand the passion. I was telling Snerdley this morning, ’cause he came in here, gave me his theory, which I promptly shot down,” Limbaugh continued. “His theory is that we all owe ABC this, ’cause if it weren’t for ABC and John King asking the questions, Newt woulda never been — and to a certain extent, that’s true. But why?”

Limbaugh went on to explain his theory for why South Carolina voters flocked to the former Speaker of the House on Saturday via rushlimbaugh.com:

…the American conservative middle class are the ones playing by the rules. They are the ones that obey the law to the best of their ability. They raise their kids. They try to shield their kids from cultural rot and depravity. They try to keep them off drugs. They try to get them into college. They follow as best they can all the rules and they’re laughed at and made fun of and they are impugned everywhere they look. They go to the movies, they’re mocked and made fun of. They turn on the radio, listen to music, they’re laughed at, mocked, and made fun of. They turn on television, watch an average television show, they are laughed at, mocked and made fun of. They open the newspaper, same thing. They’ve had it. They’ve been dealing with this for over 20 years, and nobody‘s fought back for ’em. Not one person ever has fought back for ‘em.

The last time somebody actually spoke up in this large a forum, a presidential forum, would have to be Reagan; and Reagan did it not so much by what he said (although he had his moments). He did it by winning. He did it by skunking these people! Since then, the Republican leadership has not seemed focused so much on winning and they sit there and they take it. Whenever their own voters are insulted — when their own voters are laughed at and impugned and called racists, sexist, bigot homophobes — the Republicans don‘t defend them nor themselves because they’re scared to death the independents are gonna be upset, or the media is gonna be upset.

So the base of the Republican Party, the voters, have been bottling up for 25 years, a resentment — an anger, if you will — that their own party won’t fight for them, won’t fight for itself, won‘t fight for what’s right. So when Newt gets teed up with these questions from Juan Williams and John King and whoever else and simply says what they’ve been thinking for 25 years, they say, “Finally!” What they want right now is fight-back, what they want is push-back, what they want is kick-back, what they want is smack-down! What they want is for these people who have been laughing at them and mocking them and impugning them, put in their place.

They’re tired of the cultural rot taking place in the country. They’re tired of the incessant growth of government and spending. They’re tired of it, and they‘re frustrated as they can be that members of their own party who get elected can’t seem to articulate their own passions. Politics is about passion, and the Republican Party doesn’t seem to have it! There’s always fear of somebody. Fear of the media, fear of Democrats. Well, Newt doesn‘t act like he’s got any fear. So how many wives does he got? “I don’t care!” What did he do for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac? “I don’t care.” What are his national disapproval ratings?

“I don’t care! Finally somebody’s telling the bad guys who they are, what to do and that we’re not gonna take it anymore — or that we don’t want to take it anymore.” Now, you can sit there and you can say that that’s cockeyed, that elections aren’t won that way. Uhhhh, they aren’t? Who just won? Who’s already leading in the polls in Florida? George Will had a fascinating statistic over the weekend. Mitt Romney — Mr. Electability, according to the Republican establishment; Mr. The Only Guy That Can Give Us the Senate — is 9-and-16 in his election career. He’s won nine and lost 16. He’s nine out of 25. That, they tell us, is Mr. Electability — and they’re sitting around, the base is, and they’re saying, “We don‘t care about this traditional stuff that you care about that’s kept you in second place all these years.”

And Obama is going to win a landslide victory over him.

I didn't know Romney was using Charlie Crist's guys - remember Charlie in the FL govenor's race? He would have fucked his own mother live on MSNBC to keep his job and perks.

If Romney is using these same faux RINOs as his brain trust he'll lose bad.

Time to give Newt another look -

And Obama is going to win a landslide victory over him

Obama barely beat McCain-Palin. Landslide over Newt? A wet dream of yours, perhaps.

Its a fact bucko. Newt has high negatives by just about everyone outside of the core conservatives that make up the SE states.

He will not win because many voters will hold their nose and vote for Obama or, not even vote at all and hand a default win to the 'bamster.

Go back to your bedroom and continue to masturbate to this fantasy of yours.

I agree, but is anyone who can throw the Republican establishment into "a tizzy" really all bad?

I would rather nominate a true conservative and lose then nominate a watered down RINO and win.

According to who?

I think Newt's our only shot to win!

W&C actually gets off a good one? These are strange times...

W&C can absolutely relate to his invitation to suggest to all they go masturbate !

The American people SHOULD BE in "full-blown panic" ! The nignog POS CNIC POTUS has to go! He is a "got-damn communist". He hates the White Race with a hate that would initiate a new "Final Solution" to YT. The sorry motha-fucker is an adherent to Jerry Wright's "Black Liberation Theology."

Republican conservatives should be in the streets daily to remove the current vagrant occupying the "Black-House".

November 2012 - - America's Last Chance !!!

This article missed the caveat that Limbaugh wanted Newt to know.

Rush is concerned about Newt's giant ego and wanted to make it clear that Newt is only a vessel for the conservative disdain for Romney.

It could have been anybody calling themself a conservative that wound up defeating Romney in the mostly conservative S.C.

South Carolina wasn't voting for Newt as much as they were voting against Romney.

Personally, I think Newt's a big hot air bag.

Those of us who are old enough to remember him in the house remember a camera hog always traipsing around the house with this giant entourage following him.

He was very disorganized and like Obama, liked to make things more about him than the greater cause.

That said, I'd still vote for him because I'm going to vote against Soertoro and marxism this fall come hell or high water.

Gingrich is correct that an unashamed conservative is what we want.

Not that he is one. But he plays one on TV.

... I have a little different take on this. ... Gingrich was born with a big ego and is a camera hound. He was driven by his pecker (most men understand this), which screwed up his personal life. He is also brilliant and extremely fast on his feet. His passion for history has given him insight into what is happening to this country. As he is approaching his final years he realizes he fucked up earlier and strongly wants to leave his mark in the history books he loves as "the man who saved America," a huge ego satisfaction. In Newt's case his ego can work for us, not against us. I see him as ego driven to correct things, in his own life as well as ours, before he dies. This is a powerful motivator.

I don't give a shit about his past love life or his financial motivations back then. I'm only interested in his talents and motivations now and in the immediate future. And I don't buy into the idea that he can't beat Buckwheat by the biggest landslide in history. I also don't buy into the poll data because I know how they are compiled and manipulated to fit hidden agendas. The libs actually want Romney because they know he will be easiest to beat. The MSM have created an illusion that Romney would be the best choice for the GOP. He is an accommodator and compromisor.

They are scared shitless of Newt because they know he will play hardball. People are sick of RINOS and have left the GOP in droves to become Independents. They are the ones giving Newt his standing O's and will get him elected.

Not that he is one. But he plays one on TV.

Exactly. He may be even phonier than Romney.
As to the "Newt plays hardball" claim, that sounds good---but I'm betting the game of choice come the autumn is going to be chess.
But I could be wrong.

I would respectfully disagree with that. McClown was actually leading and trending higher until the 'financial crisis' broke in late October. Nobody I have heard or read has posited a plausible explaination why that happened and whom the figure or organization was that zipped trillions in liquidity of our financial system.

In summary what we got last time was not an accidental president, but a rigged election by a shadow power to put ObOzO in office.

And no I don't see Reds under the bed - if you have another explaination I'm all ears.

And whomever was the manipulator they are still out there and they are setting Romney up for the Class Warfare Cross. And given the mood of the 50%+ morons in this country it might work.
Problem with Romney is most folks - myself included - don't think he has it in him to get into a real knife fight with ObOzO and given the grab bag of pond scum, political hitmen and criminal apparatus that he'll bring with him to the election this time you will have to fight - hard.

I don't much care for Newt. But he may be the only one to take the fight to ObOzO.

And as far as this 'stay home' bullshit. I don't buy it. Regardless of who the nominee is you see historically high turn out by Republicans and/or conservatives.

Energizing the base won't hurt, but I doubt you'll get that with a limp wristed Romney type.

We'll see what happens. My only pre-condition is winning. Because 4 more years - with no checks at all - of ObOzO and we are truly fucked.

How do you reach that conclusion!!?!?

Juan "open borders" McLAME was the most leftwing Republican candidate since Herbert Hoover. If anything, his loss to NObama proves that running a RINO is the recipe for disaster.

To make that statement would be to imply that John McCain was an actual conservative. Anyone with an elementary grasp of politics knows thats not even remotely true.

If that's about "electability" as presented by the "conservative" pundits of NYT and WaPo, then FUCK THAT. 4 years of growing Government at 75% Obama's rate? While Left on TV will be shitting their pants on what a disaster it is...so that in 2016 some uber-Obama could be elected and destroy the country once and for all. That's what you get with GOP Establishment shit. NEVER AGAIN.

Now, the problem with Newt is...that he is this fucking GOP Establishment. He called Paul Ryan's budget "right wing social engineering, for crying out loud! As much as I enjoy seeing fucking david bookses and michael gersons shitting in their pants, Newt is no alternative to Romney. He is to the Left from him.

You gotta take what you can get. He's not exactly the role model for modern conservatism, but he IS the only person on the stage with an actual history of winning big fights and advancing the conservative agenda. Control of congress, Contract with America, welfare reform... he's got a few notches in his belt.

The best thing about Gingrich is that, while his ego is huge, he has the capabilities to succeed and feed his ego. We are at a historic point these days, and we need a big thinker with a big ego to get us moving in the right direction.

Romney problem isn't just that he's a liberal, it's that he's a pussy! Does anyone actually believe he has the stones to genuinely take on the left? What has he ever done to give you an indication that he does?

No, he didn't, that quote is taken out of context. What he said was that it's not just enough to say that you have a plan and that's it. You need to explain it to people and get the people support it. Not just get your majority and ram it through, like Obama did with health care. It wasn't an attack on the Ryan budget itself; more likely a well-deserved shot at the political class in both parties.
