The Rush Limbaugh website seems to be down for maintenance, but you can hear the audio here.
“Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my
country. To be watching all of this, to be treated like this, to have
our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it’s being insulted?
It just makes me ashamed. Seriously, man. Here we get worked up over $44
billion. That’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that
was scheduled to be spent this year. In truth, we’re gonna spend more
this year than we spent last year.”
To be watching all of this, to be treated like this, to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it's being insulted? It just makes me ashamed... Panic here, fear there: Crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control. I'm sorry, my days of getting roped into all this are over... Whether the Clinton presidency or the Obama presidency... It's the same stuff. It's the same threats. It's the same arguments over and over. Nothing ever changes!
Gateway Pundit says "Rush Limbaugh told his audience today: “For the First Time in My Life I Am Ashamed of My Country”. You’re not alone, Rush. You’re not alone."
Rush may not be alone, but not all so-called Conservatives are agreeing with Limbaugh these days, as Mediaite notes:
... the impetus for today’s column is Ms. Cupp, who recently decided to take on the conservative media mothership that is Rush Limbaugh. Please note: I’m not here to analyze Rush’s or S.E.’s political positions, but to look at the so-called confrontation between the two from a media perspective.
To that end, Cupp, like Karl Rove, feels the party is being overrun by extreme and dangerous elements. In her mind, the 62-year-old Limbaugh is now part of that group:
Cupp: “And we can’t be afraid to call out Rush Limbaugh. If we can get three Republicans on three different networks saying, ‘What Rush Limbaugh said is crazy and stupid and dangerous,’ maybe that’ll give other Republicans cover” to feel comfortable disagreeing with him…”
It is one thing to say that Republicans are split, it is quite another and a much bigger problem to admit that Conservatives are split.
The future does not look very bright for Conservatives, for those who would hold our government financially responsible and who desire for our elected officials to follow current laws, to uphold the Constitution, and to do the will of those who elected them.

FEC Filings: DNC Almost $21 Million In Debt, RNC Has $7.1 Million In The Bank…
Via Politico:
The Democratic National Committee raised $4.3 million in January, but is still weighed down by a significant amount of post-election debt.
While it’s not unusual for political parties to creep into the red after an election, Democratic Party ended the 2012 cycle with a debt of $21.5 million, according to a new filing with the Federal Elections Commission.
The committee’s latest report shows the DNC paying down nearly $700,000 of their post-election debt — which shrank to $20.7 million.
Earlier Wednesday, the RNC announced it had raised $6.9 million in January, with $7.1 million in the bank. The committee retired the last of its outstanding debt at the end of 2012.
Repubs running a surplus, the libtard dems running a deficit. SOP.

Never, never forget the immortal words of Winston Churchill (himself half American).
"You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have tried everything else."

I like Rove and don't consider him to be a bad person. The problem is he is a politician and considers "winning" an election to be the goal or main objective. Like most moderates and Rinos he would be happy to compromise on the 2nd amendment or manesty if he thought it would help win one more seat. They don't understand conservatives. I would truely rather lose a seat to a Democrat then win it to a Rino who would act like my friend but vote against my interests. If I am to be stabbed in my back please let it be by the opposition and not by my "friend". There is a benefit to running a conservative Republican against a Rino Republican and yet losing the election to the Democrat. The benefit is that then the remaining conservative and moderate Republicans finally figure out we are not in their pocket and they must work for our vote at least as hard as they work for the votes of the illegals. I like Rubio, I like the way he speaks and his core beliefs but he himself considers himself to be a Cuban first and a American second. If he votes for any form of amnesty then I can never support him for any office. And I won't just not vote for him I will vote for his Democrat opponent. Rove and the other moderate Republicans need to understand that Romney got a lot of votes. The election was not a landslide and in fact if you were able to exclude the illegal and fraudulent votes Romeny probably won. The moderates are going to alienate a lot of their base with amnesty and compromise on the 2nd amendment. I am a lifelong conservative and I will proudly vote for a Democrat in preference to a Republican who compromises on amnesty or the 2nd amendment. There are a lot of people who feel the way I do.
