Rush Limbaugh Predicts ‘End Of Republican Party’ If Obama Wins Re-Election

I need to send Barack another donation ASAP!
---

On his syndicated radio show Monday afternoon, conservative host Rush Limbaugh predicted that if President Barack Obama wins re-election, it will mean an end to the Republican Party and the triggering of economic collapse within 18 months.

“How long does this country have if Obama wins?” Limbaugh asked. “We’re headed toward an economic collapse and we are the leader of the world. And when it happens to us, there are reverberations all over the world [...] How long is it going to take? I’m asking a serious question. 18 months? You throw ObamaCare onto what we know what we are going to get from Obama — more debt, more spending, the expansion of the welfare state. How long can this go on?” he continued.

He went on to refer to MSNBC host Chris Matthews saying last week that an Obama re-election would mean the end of conservatism. “Nope,” Limbaugh disagreed, “if Obama wins, it’s the end of the Republican Party.”

“There’s going to be a third party that’s going to be orientated towards conservatism — or Rand Paul thinks libertarianism,” he continued. “If Obama wins, the Republican Party will try to maneuver things so conservatives get blamed. The only problem is right now, Romney is not running a conservative campaign.”

Is Limbaugh conceding defeat? - He's already falling back on the standard conservative excuse for losing ("Nominee _______ wasn't a 'true conservative' or rightwing enough.)

Gee.

If I were a libertarian and pissed over the stiff-arm at the convention, I might be considering a vote that will ensure a GOP loss! Thanks, Rush!!!

The end of the Repug Party as we know it. I see a split into "Moderate" and Tea Party factions. If we win (we will!) it's going to be fun watching their heads explode.

Check out the video and note his body language.
Nervously shaking his hands and doing a mini-face palm.
He knows Mittens is toast!

the party will move further to the right if Mitt loses the election. The moderates will have no voice in the republican party what so ever, not that they do now.
