Subject: Limbo lies again: Limbaugh: 'I am the primary reason' Mitt Romney lost"
Limbaugh: 'I am the primary reason' Mitt Romney lost

By Stephen C. Webster

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 15:33 EST

Republican shock jock Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that he accepts
responsibility for Mitt Romney's loss in the 2012 presidential election.

"Just as I predicted, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "This election was
lost because of your host, Rush Limbaugh. I am the primary reason."
While that's not exactly correct, Limbaugh was in fact the first big target
of one of President Barack Obama's principle reelection strategies: winning
with women.

When he called Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a
"prostitute" in March, prompting a personal rebuke by Obama, it ignited a
rhetorical fuse that burned straight through election day.

It's a long held adage in American politics that if you cannot win with
women, you cannot win at all. And after high profile Republicans made a
series of idiotic comments about rape, birth control, abortion and other
issues of importance to women, Obama ultimately took 55 percent of the
female vote versus Mitt Romney's 44, even though Romney won among Caucasians
and married women. As the Gallup polling firm explained, it was the largest
gender gap in U.S. electoral history, and its beneficiary was primarily
President Obama.

Of course, that's not exactly how Rush sees it.

"There are others, but I'm the primary reason the Republican Party lost," he
added. "And I am, by the way, the primary reason the Republican Party will
keep losing, until I am denounced by the Republican Party."

The longtime radio talker explained that the GOP's "ruling class" now
believes their only shot at winning future presidential elections is to
appeal to Latino voters as much as possible despite his wishes, which he
claimed to be representative of what he called the "country class."

"Do you really think that the democrat party will ever allow you Republicans
to be seen as pro-Latino and pro-immigration?" Limbaugh asked. "If you do,
you are incompetent and unqualified." He added: "The media and the Democrats
will always find a way to say that you are anti-immigrant."

Of course, in order for the media or Democrats to accomplish that, all they'd
have to do is play some of Limbaugh's old clips.
The Obama campaign even previewed this strategy in 2008, cutting a
Spanish-language ad tying Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to some of Limbaugh's more
extreme anti-immigrant quotes, like the time he called undocumented workers
"stupid and unskilled."

As the Republicans eye a drastic policy flip-flop from promoting "self
deportation" to potentially backing a pathway to citizenship, the perception
of Limbaugh as a liability is only likely to grow. That's especially true
given Obama's overwhelming victory with Latinos, 72 percent of whom voted
Democratic in the last presidential election.

[snip...]

You know, it's stuff like this--along with his getting addicted to pain
killers--why I discontinued listening to Rush Limbaugh for a very long time.
I don't recall a single meaningful mention of Rush Limbaugh on any major
syndicated news affiliate such as ABC, NBC, CBS, or even FOX news coverage.
If he had any meaningful part of the election results, I certainly would
have heard Rush Limbaugh being said over and over again.

Rush needs to lose the whole ego thing and just talk the politics. Rush is
just one of many talk radio hosts that only get as many listeners as those
who actually listen to AM radio.

Limbo's influence can't be too important, Romney lost.

Liberals  don't understand sarcasm because they have no idea what the word
even means.

The problem with Rush's "sarcasm" is that he actually believes what he
says, and that's what negates the sarcasm and reduces it to what it
really is, mere egocentrism.

In order to speak directly to a Liberal-Socialist type you have to speak

conversation is over and they become agitated and show symptoms of

Sarcasm requires an actual sense of wry humor with a wink in the
delivery.  Rush is devoid of both.

and Dems Libs and Socialists don't like that
