Ah fellow Americans. You guys actually thought turning over control of the Congress the people who broke it in the first place, would make Congress work? How backwards is that?
Well guess who got fooled again!
Rush Limbaugh made his feelings known yesterday, telling Republicans in Congress that governing should not be part of their job! According to the Republican kingpin, Republicans got control of the Congress on Tuesday night because Americans want America to stop progressing. And it is the Republican’s job to make sure all progress stop!
Well, like predicted, Limbaugh’s call is being answered and more conservative outlets are following his lead, demanding that elected Republican officials to do nothing.
“With all due respect to the senator and like-minded Republicans, this course of action makes no sense as a political strategy,” National Review wrote.
They argued that people don’t actually care about issues like trade. But mostly National Review said that trying to govern would just make the GOP vulnerable. Democrats will filibuster, Obama will veto, and the party will continue to divide between the Tea Party and the establishment.
Instead, it should be all about 2016.
“That means being a responsible party, to be sure, just as the conventional wisdom has it. But part of that responsibility involves explaining what Republicans stand for — what, that is, they would do if they had the White House. And outlining a governing agenda for the future is a different matter from trying to govern in 2015,” National Review wrote. “[N]ot much progress is possible until we have a better president. Getting one ought to be conservatism’s main political goal over the next two years.”
And don’t forget Obamacare!
“If more Republicans endorse an alternative like the one that Senators Hatch, Coburn, and Burr introduced, the party will simultaneously reassure conservatives that it has a plan for replacing Obamacare and the public at large that life after Obamacare won’t involve taking health insurance away from millions of people,” they wrote.
