Rush to Judgement

The granddaddy of the nationally syndicated talkers, Limbaugh is leading the way in striking a self-analytical tone. He says that until conservatives start examining what's wrong with themselves they're never going to fix their problems.

"When things go wrong, you must examine why. It would be foolish to assign blame to the voters and the media and the Democrats," he said.

Limbaugh maintains that Republicans lost on Nov. 7 — but that conservatism won. He points to a moderate-right field of Democratic candidates recruited by their liberal party leaders and implies a kind of bait-and-switch occurred.

However, he credits the other side for understanding that "conservatism properly applied will triumph nine times out of 10. … It just wasn't utilized in this election (by Republicans)."

1. Wait...I thought we were moving to the radical left?

I guess new memos were issued.

[Tyo]

13. We ARE moving to the radical left

Except when we aren't.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. NOW they self-examine!

Maybe you wouldn't have gotten stomped if you self-examined ON ANY OF THE OTHER TIMES WHEN YOU FAILED MISERABLY!

6. "what's a limbaugh?" a very dizzy man

He spins so much he can't help but be dizzy. Same goes for the entire staff of fox news.

4. Nothing that oxycontin can't fix

Or a visit with young boys in the Dominican Republican.

5. Because, you know, Santorum and Burns and the rest of them

weren't REAL conservatives. REAL conservatives never lose, and people never stop liking them. And real conservatism has never been tried, but if the FAKE conservatives would stop wrecking everything, we would try it, and everything would be perfect, because conservatism, REAL conservatism, is the Solution To All Things.

What a bunch of bullshit. Why the fuck does ABC News give this moron air time? He's a fascist propagandist, for chrissakes.

7. But but but ...what about "San Francisco values"?

Two days ago they were all in a snit about all the terrible things the "liberals" would do if Pelosi became speaker. Now all of a sudden these people are repukes in disguise. Jeezus their story sure changed fast.

[WilliamPitt]

8. He's right

Whatever these assholes are, they are not "conservatives" in the vein of men like my grandfather. To no small degree, that's why they just got destroyed.

[newsdude]

15. Further

I think Democrats need to be careful about how conservative they are ... Or they'll turn off the base real quick

[blogslut]

9. This appears to be the talking point

Delay said it. Malkin said it. And now Bluto said it. I hope they have fun with that.

[Liberal_Dog]

10. Yeah. Sure. Whatever.

eom

[robertpaulsen]

11. How 'bout neoconservatism, Rush?

Hello?

Cat got your tongue?

[VelmaD]

12. I will say it again

I am sick and fucking tired of conservative windbags thinking they have the right to decide why the Democrats won.

[noahmijo]

14. True Conservatism won YOUR brand of conservatism lost asshole

Those who wish to conserve the environment, the Constitution and The American Dream WON.


You and your Taliban underlings lost punk.
