Rush Limbaugh Also Picks Up On The Collective Unconscious
I was just lamenting last night about the very topic, and then I see Rush was, also.
Not that I am comparing myself to Rush. I’m not worthy to carry his Cigar Lighter.
But I think that it is beginning to dawn on many of us, the reality of the situation we are facing.
In a very sick, and sadistic way, I wouldn’t mind Hillary or Obama getting in office from a standpoint of all the great material Louie and I would have to work with all day long. It would be a veritable banquet of Bashing and Slamming and Pointing out wrongdoings and fuck-ups…
But then I snap back to reality and regain my sensibilities and realize what a troubled state we would be in Gunga Din Gunga Din if we ever had one of them Liberal Democrats sitting in the Oval Office.
But what about a Liberal Republican…the Horror…I swear.
Not that I would NOT VOTE…I will always cast my vote, but I’m just talking about the frustration of not being fully satisfied with who I will cast my ballot for. I don’t think I could bring myself to NOT vote, or to vote Dhimmicrat.
Transcript from Rush’s show today:
CALLER: My question to you is because I am absolutely beside myself, Rush. Why in the world would you make a statement that you may not — for the first time not — vote in this election this year? Wouldn’t any one of the Republican candidates be better than Hillary or Obama?
RUSH: Um, that’s an interesting question that you asked. What I said was that I, for the first time on this program, I can see possibly not voting for the Republican nominee.
CALLER: But, Rush, there’s enough of us… We all have problems with the fact that none of them are true conservatives, but isn’t something better than nothing?
RUSH: Well, let me try and explain it to you this way. If one such as myself happens to believe that there’s not too much of a substantive difference between Mrs. Clinton and a couple of the Republican potential nominees — and if I believe that either the Republican or Democrat nominee is going to cause great damage and harm to the country — I would just as soon it happen on the watch of a Democrat.
CALLER: Well, that certainly helps. That makes me feel a little better.
RUSH: Look, that statement I made is based on substantive analysis. It was a knee-jerk, and I didn’t just throw it out there to be picked up. I knew it would be, but that’s not why I threw it out there, and I’ll tell you, Dee, it’s rooted in the fact that — I’m blue in the face here — I’m a conservative first and a, quote, unquote, Republican second — and party unity, at the expense of conservative principles and values to me is not advancing things.
CALLER: Well, in the case of Rudy Giuliani… I know you’re not going to back anybody. I’m not really quite sure who I’m going to back, who I’m going to vote for, but at least he said he would appoint conservative judges. And fiscally he’s good. Crime he’s good. I mean, you know, if you really have to weigh it all, to me, that’s where it is right now.
RUSH: I have weighed it all. I didn’t say that there are no Republicans that I would vote for. Did you assume I meant that?
CALLER: Yes, I did.
RUSH: Oh, no, no, no. No. Just a couple, maybe one. (sigh) It’s not all of them by any stretch of the imagination.
CALLER: Oh, good. I’m glad to hear that. As usual, you always have the right answers that make you feel better.
RUSH: Well, I appreciate that, and thank you for calling and questioning rather than going off knee-jerk.
CALLER: Yeah, it was bothering me terribly. I was kind of nervous to call but I had to get beyond that nervousness.
RUSH: Well, see, once you get past your fears, life opens up for you.
CALLER: (giggles)
RUSH: You faced the fear, you confronted it, and now you’re going away satisfied and perhaps even more since you did it. So it’s great to have you calling. I appreciate it, Dee.

You know I have to wonder about this sometimes, too. I want to support McCain if he wins the nod, but depending on whom he chooses for his VP candidate should he win the nod I am swaying back and forth between sitting out this election.

Why am I suddenly reminded of that scene beside the newly arrived train at the concentration camp in “Sophie’s Choice”?

January 25th, 2008 at 2:43 pmel Rushbo is wrong!!! party unity, at the very least must be preserved… otherwise the “party” might swing moderate and leave us true conservatives out in the cold as a 3rd or independant party.
the coalition MUST be preserved, or else the evil liberals will dominate BOTH parties…
letting a liberal republican “screw up” is ALWAYS better than a letting a democrat screw up… #1, even McCain (the leftest leaning {R} candidate) won’t fuck up as badly as hillary or obama would… and with a democrat congress… its going to be MUCH easier for H and O to fuck up than it would be for MC to fuck up!!
January 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pmNo Caligula, you are wrong. If we continue to support moderates as a party and we let them win then the republican party truly will become moderate. We must never compromise our principles for party unity.
January 25th, 2008 at 3:55 pmHiel ist richtig! Wir mussen nicht kompromittieren!
January 25th, 2008 at 4:23 pmWhen I was listening to Rush today, this stayed with me . . .
“I’m a conservative first and a, quote, unquote, Republican second — and party unity, at the expense of conservative principles and values to me is not advancing things.”
January 25th, 2008 at 4:29 pmGregory I completely agree with you. I would rather start a new party from the ground up than continue to support the increasingly liberal stance of the republican party. Rush is exactly right here, as always. The republican party, as in any party, was created to unify people under common values. Unfortunately, for us conservatives, being in the republican party has become like being in a bad relationship where we just don’t have that much in common anymore.
January 25th, 2008 at 5:01 pmOh my gosh . . . What Peggy Noonan just said on O’Reilly . . .
Bush’s second inaugural address was the beginning of the end - he strayed from conservative values . . . and begin the major split.
January 25th, 2008 at 5:18 pmScrew party unity! The party has left us we did not leave it! The Republicans can rot right along with the scum Dem Liberals because they are the same! The Republican Party is just as Liberal as the Dems. You people need to wake up!!
January 25th, 2008 at 7:32 pmI strongly recommend some one-on-one time with God. It’s gonna take a miracle…
