‘We’re losing!’: Rush Limbaugh accused by fan of letting Republicans down

[Galraedia]

A concerned conservative accused radio host Rush Limbaugh of not doing enough to motivate the GOP faithful during his show on Monday.

“Whatever you’re trying, Rush, is not working,” said the caller, who identified himself as a Michigan Republican named Ted. “You keep giving us hope, and we get our clocks cleaned. Five million less Republicans voted. We’re losing!”

Limbaugh responded that he was not trying to motivate the party, because he felt their candidates were only running to hang on to committee chairmanships.

“I don’t think the Republicans want a smaller government at all,” he said. “I just think they want to run it for a couple of years.”

1. Well, for once Rush is right.

The Repukes in Congress don't care about doing what is best for the country. Nor do they care about conservative values. All they want is to be reelected.

Its a good paying, easy gig.

2. What Rush really meant:

"I just think they want to ruin it for a couple of years."

7. Thinking *run it into the ground* until it's dismantled. LOL *conservative values...*

Nothing *conservative* is worth saving!

3. He's right. The Establishment Wing of the GOP loves big government when they are in control.

The ones that are actually true to the small government agenda get crushed or absorbed by the Republican machine.

4. Small Government is merely a talking point.

They mean it about as much as when they say they are for helping small business. It's just a meme to the ends, as much money as can be siphoned off (pun intended).

5. I think Rush has been humbled in recent years.

He was the "golden child" of the GOP, and now he is no longer relevant. Colbert has twice as many people "liking" him on Facebook, and it's a younger demographic.

8. And the Daily Show has almost 3 times the "likes" than Limbaugh...LOL

6. These fools still don't understand what Limbaugh does.

Limbaugh's job is to get an audience to tune into his show each day, so the advertisers can pitch their crap to them. He accomplishes that by putting on a performance that his audience enjoys. That is all.
