(Heartwarming) Rush Limbaugh eats humble pie: ‘We are outnumbered and we are losing ground’



Rush Limbaugh eats humble pie: ‘We are outnumbered and we are losing ground’
Republican radio figure Rush Limbaugh announced Wednesday that, far from the Republican Party simply failing to turn out its base on Tuesday night, “we are outnumbered” now in the country, calling President Barack Obama’s overwhelming reelection victory “the trend” from now on.

“We have to face some truths, we have to face some reality,” he said. “We are outnumbered and we are losing ground. This was not a glitch. This is the trend. That happened last night. This is the trend. We are outnumbered. Whether you want to put it in terms of, ‘Have we lost the country or not?’ There’s no other explanation.”

think having a zillion kids is Super, because they'll outnumber us. They even have a name for it. Something like the "Full Quiver" movement. It's like 'Idiocracy' (the movie).

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's a good start.

Now go on retreat and work on rediscovering your lost humanity, and maybe there's a little hope even for you, Rushbo.

"We (whites) are outnumbered and losing ground"....


and the implied question is "What are WE going to do about it?"

the answer is the question.

Rush's mode, is exactly what you are thinking. The rational one... well moderate Republicans have a long everest... to climb, with no ropes for the moment, and no guides... and among the first steps is to kindly tell Rush and his ilk to enjoy retirement.

Confirming that the powers that be within the Republican party still see their African American members as tokens.

It was brutally honest and utterly hideous.

Rush I agree with you...did you get an instant of rational thought? Careful there, if you make that a habit you might have to go to Costa Rica as you threatened.

He probably doesn't realize it but he just admitted that they lost fair and square - if you are outnumbered, then you have fewer votes and you lose. No vote fraud, no cheating, you simply lost. Instead of moaning, you need to look for common ground and strike a compromise.

or was it on TV? He was saying something like...

So...are we supposed to AGREE to let illegals stay just to get some votes? Are we supposed to, what, start passing out free contraceptives so women will vote for us? Are we supposed to compromise our principles?

Repubs are old and whiter then white.

Romney won the white vote by the same margin that Reagan in 1980, 20 points. Butt the white vote in 1980 was 88% of the electorate.
This is not 1980 anymore.

Welcome to reality, motherfuckers. Deal with it.
