Rush Limbaugh: ‘I Went To Bed Last Night Thinking We’ve Lost The Country’
Source: Mediaite
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh offered a dire prognosis for the Republican party following last nights defeat of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Limbaugh said that it is difficult for any candidate to run a successful campaign against Santa Claus. He went on to say that his last thought as he went to bed on election night was the Republican party had lost the country.
Limbaugh said that he thought Romney and his family would have been great for the nation, but his recipe for a turnaround hard work is no longer accepted by the American people as their only route to success.
(...)
Limbaugh dismissed political experts who have postulated on Wednesday morning that the GOP has a problem with a lack of support from women and minority voters. He said that the party has a number of successful female, Hispanic and black officeholders, but their life stories were not held up as a model for emulation.
I went to bed last night thinking we are outnumbered, Limbaugh concluded. I went to bed last night thinking weve lost the country. I dont know how else you look at this.

Mr. "Romney Will get 320 Electoral Votes" realizes just how irrelevant he and his party have become.

It's like the Baggers don't want to accept that there will be people in need and
they don't say it but they don't care if these people just have to crawl off somewhere
to die. They don't say it but they don't offer ideas on an acceptable path foreward.
They just don't accept where we are at this point in time.

So instead, after running Huntsman out on a rail you nominated the least objectionable candidate you ran, who happens to be not only anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-race and anti-choice and against half of the country, but he ALSO is a LIAR. And he picked a TOP LIAR to run with him. And AMERICA HATES Liars, Lush... so get out the oxy, you're gonna need it. And one last thing, Lush, I went to bed last night thinking we've lost, Lush, The wicked old Lush is gone.

(455 posts)the Republican party did not lose because you are outnumbered by lazy liberals who don't want to work and believe that "Santa Claus" is going to give them everything. It's because you and your party's ideas are insane, and because you and your party are racist, hateful, greedy asshole thugs who offer average people nothing more than a sugar coated SCREWING. You and your dear fucking Republican party lost this all by yourselves. But like a true right wing extremist, nothing is ever your fault, Rush.
At the end of WWII when Germany was is ruins and Hitler was holed up in his bunker, he was still blaming the war that he had started on the Jews and everybody else, even as he popped a cyanide pill and put a gun to his head.
You sound like you have the same level of delusion, Rush.

Rush is not the only one, who believe US to go down the tube - on a whole different internet site, here in Norway, it is a few ones, who have waked up to the reality that Obama would not leave the white house - and they are pissed off as hell... And is using a rather colorfully language to express their feeling about how the country will end in 4 years...
And I suspect, they will not be any less angry as the President is sworn in for 4 more years to put it bluntly... I would not be surprised at all, if not Obama must be carefully about where he is, and the Secret Service I suspect will have their job cut out for them, the next 4 years - what they might say now, they might do the next 4 years..
The Republicans, and their supporters in the world is PISSED OFF and ANGRY because of the fact, "their man" lost... I mean glowing red angry - not just angry... They have to be kept a eye on - as some of them might do more than just cry about how angry they are...

(5,763 posts)"We have plenty of highly achieved minorities in our party!" he said.
Plenty? About 3-4 percent, maybe. I guess that's Rush's idea of a tolerable number, as long as they're "highly achieved" too, then they've gained the status of white.
Statistics mean nothing to Rush. Not only does he ignore the demographics of his party, but he ignored hundreds of polls that plainly showed Romney was going down, and perhaps by a lot.
I'm hoping the future is rough on Rush, and his afterlife, if any, is worse.

Is their Soc Security "stuff" too? I want to be recognized as a citizen and not compared to bestiality like that idiot Santorum tried to suggest. And lastly, I want an apology from Bill O'Reilly for Being an ass on television. Then, I want a free set of his books to keep my fireplace happy this Winter, you stupid little prick.

Personally, I wanted to see Rush's head explode today as he realized that he is just an insignificant ant.
But, watching him freak out over the results was all he did.
Which is just more of the same crap that he does every day.
I want to get that blustering, rightwing tub of goo off of the Armed Forces Radio Network.

(32,723 posts)You were a Top 40 DJ who came up with a new character called "Rush Limbaugh". You spewed vitriol and mocked Democrats and Liberals as a shock jock and found an audience. You gave your show away for free to spread it around the country allowing station managers to fill three hours of air time with a built in audience of sycophants who thought you were a genius. You filtered all the calls to make sure only those who agreed with you got though. It's just like Phil Henry only airs people he tricks with his voices.
BTW: Reagan was not wildly popular the way you want everyone to remember. There were times he dipped into the 30s and his approval plunged after Iran Contra. It only eked up a bit towards the end because America decided to give the old man a break,...he was obviously going senile and Nancy was always by his side to give him cover.
Conservatism has ALWAYS been mocked in America. Case in point, Marcy on "Married With Children". The out of touch middle class conservative who didn't mind seeing her tax dollars used to jail the homeless.
You people are seen as heartless bastards and your show had it's time. You will NEVER have a ton of "proud dittoheads" running around like you did before. You are seen as, "Soooo last century" and people don't brag about being one of your fans. Especially young people who have been raised hearing about you.

(50,562 posts)Rush Limbaugh loves Democratic presidents from the bottom of his wallet. Everything he has and is came from his daily three-hour anti-Clinton bile fests. He has made lots more money with anti-Obama diatribes. If Romney would have won, he would be dead in the water within a year as his dittoheads called in to ask why the Romney Rush sold them would lead us to the land of milk and honey, but the one we got fucked the economy to the point no one can afford milk and honey is just a fond memory.
We will be better off when we see this ad on Craigslist: For sale - one Rode studio microphone. One owner. Purchased because it's gold in color. You can't believe anything that comes out of it because the former,owner lied into it three hours daily from 1993 to 2012, but seems to work okay other than that. Stinks of cheap cigars. Make offer.

(1,905 posts)Basically, Obama won because he pays us, gives us food stamps and free cell phones. Well, next time a conservanazi complains to me about it, that's what I'm telling them. druggie also uses the Ayn Rand bu$hit propaganda. Rand is their goddess, up in conservanazi heaven with ronnie raygun. Mostly, what I see is that they cannot have their people understand that a MAJORITY of Americans don't believe their lies and also they don't see that the demographics of this nation is changing. The drugster was happy to say that the conservanazis bring out minorities and put them on stage but still fail to see that their message doesn't appeal to the masses. Just to hardcore conservanazis. Too f*ckin' bad. druggie limpballs aka .
