They defied Obama. They put the Keystone pipeline in it. They put the Keystone pipeline in there, and Obama feels like he has been challenged on this, disrespected on this. He claims he\u2019s going to veto it. Here\u2019s what our guys said.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57336\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGOPPartyofNOBoehnerCantor585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>BOEHNER: We\u2019ve passed a large bill that contains many of the priorities of our caucus and the White House. We\u2019ve worked to find common ground.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CANTOR: We\u2019ve just had a strong, bipartisan vote on the House floor. It\u2019s time for the other side &#8212; Harry Reid as well as the president &#8212; to compromise.<\/p>\n<p>MCCARTHY: When the Founding Fathers sat down to craft a type of government that they wanted to see that was by the people and for the people, they looked at that and said, &#8220;You\u2019re gonna have to have compromise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you go. So the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives believes compromise. That\u2019s right, folks, compromise! That\u2019s what you want, the American people want compromise: You want our guys to work with the Democrats. At least there is a positive note here, and that is that Boehner and Cantor and these guys said it\u2019s time for the Democrats to compromise. Normally it works the other way. Normally we are the ones are supposed to compromise. But, noooo, not this time. But still, this is what they say. Using the language of the left.<\/p>\n<p>This, I\u2019m telling you, their political consultants, their pollsters, their advisers are telling them the independents want compromise, the independents want Democrats and Republicans to work together. The independents and the moderates don\u2019t like all this gridlock and confrontation. So whoever is structuring the Republican language here, we can tell that the establishment consultants and pollsters are making sure that they use language that they think the American people want to hear &#8212; and I think they couldn\u2019t be more wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57316\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-backpage.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Meanwhile, here\u2019s Dingy Harry. Let\u2019s go ahead and play this. This is this morning in Washington, Dingy Harry on the Senate floor. Remember, now, when our guys get too critical &#8212; when our guys don\u2019t compromise, when our guys stand steady on their turf, hold the line &#8212; that\u2019s not good. The independents aren\u2019t gonna like that! &#8220;Oh, no, no, Rush! The independents, you\u2019re gonna send \u2019em off. They gonna be racing off to the Democrats. They don\u2019t like this confrontation, don\u2019t like this bombast, don\u2019t like any of this stuff that you have to offer.&#8221; Now, this is where the independents are going. This is the kind of thing that\u2019s attractive to the independents.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>REID: (whispering) The House has passed a bill that I have said &#8212; and non-Democrats have said &#8212; is a dead duck, DOA, dead on arrival. It\u2019s here, it\u2019s dead, and they don\u2019t want vote on it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Somebody explain something to me. If the independents are gonna run to the Democrats whenever the Republicans are obstinate and don\u2019t compromise, why are they gonna go to this? I mean the Democrats are the ones that always say, &#8220;The budget\u2019s DOA! The bill is DOA. It\u2019s dead. It does not have a chance. We\u2019re not voting for this.&#8221; Do you realize how we\u2019ve been lied to, and do you realize the contradictions? We\u2019re told, &#8220;Independents are gonna flock to people that talk about compromise, want to work together, get things done, cross the aisle.&#8221; Democrats don\u2019t talk that way. The Democrats say that bill stinks, that bill is dead on arrival. &#8220;They want to kill 8100 people,&#8221; Barbara Boxer said.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans want 8100 people to die because of this bill, and we\u2019re told that\u2019s where the independents are gonna go? That\u2019s what our candidates are told. That\u2019s what our consultants tell \u2019em, and that\u2019s what the Republican establishment believes. So what\u2019s wrong with the Keystone pipeline? They\u2019ve moved it away from the precious Nebraska Sand Hills now, so what\u2019s the objection now? (New Castrati impression) &#8220;Well, it still could cost pollution, Mr. Limbaugh. That pipe could still rupture and wreak havoc throughout the Midwest and throughout this entire nation of black oil be all over everywhere and destroy crops and the snail darters! It\u2019s too big a risk. We just simply can\u2019t go for it, Mr. Limbaugh.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: John Boehner last night in Washington, we have a montage of Boehner, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy talking about the vote to extend the payroll tax.
