Rush: Time to Cleanse the Republican Party
Posted on November 5, 2008
Radio host Rush Limbaugh, the loudest conservative voice in American politics, today blasted John McCain’s presidential campaign as weak and said Barack Obama’s election as president is an opportunity to purge the Republican Party of candidates who abandon conservative principles.
“McCain’s whole campaign was a concession speech,” said Limbaugh in his post-election analysis. “We’ve now demonstrated to everyone how to lose.”
Limbaugh dismissed any notion that victories by Democrats in the White House and Congress meant a repudiation of right-leaning principles.
Limbaugh explained conservatism was not on the ballot.
“We haven’t been on the ballot since 1994,” he said, noting that if Republicans wanted to win elections, they should not put so-called “moderates” on the ballot.
“The conservative movement does not need to be rebuilt,” he said. “We had some people abandon the conservative movement, and they need to be abandoned.”
The broadcaster called last night’s results “an opportunity for cleansing … like we haven’t seen in a long time.”
In other words…back to the roots. Back to the basics. Back to the principles Reagan embodied.

Rush is right! McCain is as much of conservative as Nancy Pelosi is!
What really pisses me off is that Maobama showed himself in his books and in his campaign to be a dishonest, dishonorable, morally and ethically bankrupt charlatan, and nobody cared — not the useful idiots in the MSM who made it their mission to shove this piece of garbage down our throats, and certainly not the useful idiots who blindy worship him!
America will regret 11/4/08 very soon, and will pay for it for generations to come!
Spoken like a true Moonbat! Have some more Kool-Aid!
Back to the principles like government handouts for bloggers!
Continue your kool-aid drinking. You have hit your high-water mark. It’s all downhill from here.
Now that the issue isn’t McCain vs Obama I wonder what Obama’s approval rating is. I am guessing 48 percent. By January when he takes office it will be 43 percent and by next Nov it will be around 35 percent. And from there it will only go south.
I quit listening to him and talk radio in general years ago, but Rush is right. The GOP abandoned it’s base and then got it’s butt kicked. It’s not hard to figure out.
I said it over 2 years ago.
The problem is cleansing the Republic party of mavericks will weaken the Republican parties chances of victory. It would probably be wiser to hold them accountable but that would require those willing to run against incumbents in the primary and that is rare.
Rush has it right on this one.
I re-registered as an independent for this election.
I didn’t leave the Republicans, the Republicans left me
