Jim DeMint is publicly criticizing his Senate GOP colleagues for allowing Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski to keep her ranking membership on a key committee less than a week after she announced a write-in campaign to try to retain her seat. In a revealing e-mail to his supporters, DeMint gives his account of Wednesday\u2019s private Senate GOP caucus meeting, when he believed his colleagues would vote to strip Murkowski of her post on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee &#8212; but the caucus instead allowed her to keep her remain [sic] in the coveted role.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;It was bad enough to watch my colleagues work to support her in the primary after she had built a record of betraying conservatives principles,\u2019 writes DeMint. &#8216;But watching them back her after she left the party and launched a campaign against the Republican nominee was more than I could bear.&#8221; Now, she\u2019s a RINO, and the ruling class Republicans in the Senate still haven\u2019t gotten the message &#8212; and they never will get the message. The ruling class is never, ever gonna get the message no matter what party they happen to be a member of. A RINO is a RINO, and a RINO is gonna stay loyal to a RINO no matter what. As far as I\u2019m concerned, the country cannot continue and allow the ruling class to skim our money off the top for themselves, which is among many other things what they do.<\/p>\n<p>If these people, if the Republicans in the Senate are not careful &#8212; and all these other RINOs, if they\u2019re not careful &#8212; they are going to spawn a third party, and they\u2019re gonna end up being the third party. They are gonna end up being the minority third party. If they continue to pretend that they don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on and if they continue to pretend that we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going behind their closed doors. Now, I think there are enough principled people in Washington to make life difficult for liberals in both parties. This country isn\u2019t just a little bankrupt, folks. We aren\u2019t just a little overtaxed. A little bit of a public option will bring down the entire private sector health care system. We don\u2019t need RINOs cutting deals with Imam Obama.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling class, they either know what\u2019s going on and they\u2019re steadfastly immune to it, opposing it, or just arrogantly ignoring it, or they really do have no idea what\u2019s going on in the country. They have no idea of the staying power of the Tea Party movement. And if they don\u2019t they\u2019re going to learn the hard way, and that\u2019s their business. Lisa Murkowski lost, and it\u2019s obvious that ruling class Republicans are unhappy about it. We got Obama and Biden calling Mike Castle to commiserate with him. Now he\u2019s thinking running as a third party. And for all I know, he\u2019s being encouraged to do this by Obama. He\u2019s being encouraged to do this by Harry Reid. I don\u2019t know but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if in these closed-door phone calls this is what they\u2019re encouraging Mike Castle to do.<\/p>\n<p>Actually the RINOs have gotten the message; they just don\u2019t like it. They are as resentful of it as the Democrats are, and DeMint &#8216;vowed yesterday&#8230;\u2019 This is from the AP: &#8216;Sen. Jim DeMint vowed Thursday to stop Lisa Murkowski\u2019s write-in candidacy &#8216;dead in its tracks\u2019 as he expressed outrage at the GOP\u2019s refusal to strip the senator of her leadership role on the energy committee. The South Carolina Republican supports Joe Miller, a conservative political upstart who upset Murkowski in last month\u2019s GOP primary\u2019 in Alaska. &#8216;DeMint said he believed Wednesday\u2019s meeting of GOP senators was to choose a replacement for Murkowski, the ranking member on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But &#8216;one senator after another stood up to argue in favor of protecting her place on the committee,\u2019 he said &#8212; resulting in an outcome he said she\u2019ll undoubtedly use in her campaign against Miller,\u2019 which he\u2019s no doubt right about. Murkowski in her write-in campaign is gonna go out there in Alaska and say that the Republican establishment in the Senate wanted her to stay there &#8212; and that\u2019s not gonna help her. Not in Alaska. It\u2019s not going to help her. This is where you&#8230; (sigh) I don\u2019t know. Will he name names of the people sit on the committee? Maybe he will at some point. Now, here\u2019s Murkowski.<\/p>\n<p>This is in The Hill: &#8216;Republican senators opted not to oust Sen. Lisa Murkowski from a top committee post because they believe she has a shot at winning reelection&#8230;\u2019 That\u2019s why they kept her in there. They think she has a chance to win this. &#8216;Murkowski said Republican senators &#8221;recognize, &#8216;You know what? Lisa might be a risk-taker, but she\u2019s got a real shot at coming back here, and it only makes good sense that we would not want to be so punitive that she would be discouraged by the actions of her colleagues,&#8221; she said in a Q-and-A with Time magazine published [today].\u2019 GOP Senators think I have a shot at winning election as a write-in. So the out-of-touch bunch continues to revel in their out-of-touchness.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/elections\/election_2010\/election_2010_senate_elections\/alaska\/toplines\/toplines_alaska_senate_september_19_2010\"><img class=\"img_\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\"\/><\/a>RUSH: I\u2019m sure DeMint has the names of the Republicans that voted for Murkowski. If he wants to release them, he will. Maybe we\u2019ll find out. By the way, you ought to know this. The polling in Alaska does not favor Lisa Murkowski, and this is from TIME Magazine. The poll shows that Miller, the winner on the Republican side, has a big lead over Murkowski, and here\u2019s a quote from it: &#8216;The poll suggests that Murkowski may be splitting the independent and Democratic vote with McAdams, while the tea party and Sarah Palin-backed Miller has consolidated support among conservatives.\u2019 This is exactly what I said. If this holds true, Lisa Murkowski is gonna split the Democrat vote. She\u2019s gonna become representative of a minority third party. She is a bellwether.<\/p>\n<p>If Republican establishment types are not careful &#8212; if this holds out, if the polling data is accurate and, if by the time we get to November, Miller wins big because he consolidated conservatives &#8212; Murkowski and McAdams split the independent and Democrat vote. That\u2019s a harbinger of things to come for Republicans down the line. They are not going to split &#8212; a RINO Republican is not gonna split &#8212; the conservative vote with a conservative Tea Party-type nominee. It ain\u2019t going to happen, and if they\u2019re not careful, the Republicans are going to end up as a minority third party. They might actually &#8212; if this holds up, the RINOs, Murkowski and her bunch might actually &#8212; end up proving to be of use to conservatives after all. Well, I mean if Murkowski\u2019s gonna run on a write-in candidate or ballot, and she splits the vote with the Democrat and the independent and Miller wins big, then of course a RINO Republican proves useful to our side.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Boca Raton and Victor. Welcome to the EIB Network. It\u2019s great to have you here, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Great to talk to you again, Mr. Limbaugh. Mega dittos to you from true conservatives at the Free Republic.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: First, congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Limbaugh. I would have loved to have attended, but apparently my invitation got lost in the mail. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Mr. Limbaugh, I would like to comment on the situation with Jim DeMint, and I cannot tell you how angry I am about what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know that they all listen to your show.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Obviously, it\u2019s an obligatory listening for everybody including the RINOs and the DINOs, and I want to send them a message that we will not get fooled again. We will not tolerate every one of these dinosaur RINOs.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I call them DINO-RINOs. From Boehner to McConnell to Eric Cantor, every one of these people who is supporting Murkowski against a sterling candidate like Joe Miller &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. I don\u2019t know that Boehner and Eric Cantor are supporting Murkowski. They\u2019re in the House. Of course, Murkowski is of the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah but I just think there\u2019s still a little clique of these people who have learned nothing. When someone like Cantor can go outside and call himself a, whatever, young lion or new blood, the guy has been in the House for ten years and his reputation is very well known. But my main point is just I agree with you a hundred percent on this crazy situation about the third party. As much we talked about it &#8212; and of course it\u2019s a losing proposition &#8212; but ultimately they are the ones are gonna become extinct if they don\u2019t learn the lesson. And I\u2019m really glad to hear you bring up this point because it really, really makes my blood boil at this point.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, thank you very much, Victor. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: El Segundo, California, Rahm. It\u2019s nice to have you on Open Line Friday.

And thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I think Judith Miller is absolutely incorrect when she says the Republicans are destroying their party. It\u2019s actually the Democrats who are destroying their party and that are desperate for some power or some energy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What she actually said was that she thought Obama was doing something very smart at his town hall meeting. When the opposing party is destroying itself, you sorta get out of the way and let it happen. She did say she thinks that that\u2019s happening. You\u2019re right. The Republican Party is together, but it does have its challenges.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a raging Tea Party movement that some elements of the Republican Party do not wish to embrace.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"img_\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.21918.ImageFile.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER: And this Christine O\u2019Donnell? I saw her on Hannity in the interview. She\u2019s a fantastic speaker &#8212; to the point, doesn\u2019t mince words &#8212; and if she defeats Coons, as I think she will, it will be a big blow to Krauthammer and Rove, and I thank you for taking my call once more. B\u2019bye.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet. I think she\u2019s got a good chance to win. You know, from the beginning when the establishment types said, &#8216;We need Castle \u2019cause we need 51 seats. We could really take back the Senate with 51 seats,\u2019 well, the first thing that struck me about that is: You need 60 seats in the Senate all voting the same way to have a true legislative majority. &#8216;Cause you need 60%, 60 voters for cloture to stop debate and go ahead and vote on any piece of legislation. &#8216;Cause it\u2019s Senate rule. Fifty-one is not 60. And if you have a majority of 51 and four or five of them are Mike Castle, Susan Collins, John McCain, Olympia Snowes, you don\u2019t have a minority. You\u2019ve still got a fractured Republican caucus in the Senate. But what you do have with 51 seats is your chairmanships. (Gasp!)<\/p>\n<p>Yes, and that\u2019s what this was all about. Fifty-one seats gives you your chairmanships, and that\u2019s power. And then Christine O\u2019Donnell wins, and I said, &#8216;Well, okay, how come the desire for 51 seats goes away? Why does that just fly out the window? Why not get behind Christine O\u2019Donnell and get your 51st seat that way? Why does the 51st seat have to be Castle?\u2019 Did you ever ask yourself that question? &#8216;Why does the 51st seat have to be a RINO?\u2019 Okay, so she was down 25 points. Now she\u2019s down 16. She\u2019s gonna continue to make ground on this Coons guy. She\u2019s gonna get within the margin of error and she\u2019s going to have a chance to win this thing. Why not get behind her and try to make it a victory?<\/p>\n<p>Well, because RINOs stick together.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people look at the Republican Party as the repository of conservatism and that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to make it, but it isn\u2019t yet. It\u2019s not that now. She can win. There\u2019s no question she can win. Look, I went on a little bit of a tirade yesterday when I started talking about the relative merits of Sarah Palin and Christine O\u2019Donnell versus Obama. What are we really talking about here? We\u2019re at a genuine crossroads that we\u2019ve never faced in this country in terms of the country\u2019s future and what kind of country we\u2019re going to have. And whether we\u2019re going to have a traditional America as founded, with American exceptionalism as the foundation, with what we all know the world is envious of &#8212; endless opportunity, both economic, educational, and whatever. Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Or are we gonna wipe out the private sector and the aspects of America that make all those things possible? That\u2019s where we are. We face that. Now, if Mickey Mouse could get on the ballot and would vote against the Obama agenda, I would support Mickey Mouse. I don\u2019t know how else to explain where we are. This is not nuance time. I don\u2019t think it is. I don\u2019t think we have the time here to worry about nuance and whether we\u2019re electing somebody with the right kind of IQ, approved IQ or approved and sanctioned pedigree. What we need are people who are going to stop the Democrat-Obama agenda. Hell, if we could find a rat that could get elected, I\u2019d support the rat, if it promised to vote against Obama and the Democrat agenda. What are we really talking about here? That\u2019s it to me.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, speaking of Lisa Murkowski, where are the conservative pundits? Where are the Jonah Goldbergs, the Krauthammers, the Karl Roves and the Bill Kristols of the world? Where are they telling Lisa Murkowski to drop this write-in bid? Where is the pressure on Rick Lazio to drop out of the New York governor\u2019s race now that he\u2019s lost the primary? Can we get consistent here? Where is the pressure for these people to stop dividing the Republican Party after the voters have spoken? Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Roger in Alexandria, Louisiana. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush! Rush, I have a little concern with this pattern of Republicans not accepting what the majority has voted on in the primaries and doing this write-in policy. It bothers me that it may become a larger problem, especially if one of them happens to get elected. And it\u2019s also causing a rift in our party. For example, DeMint ripping the Republicans for allowing Murkowski to keep her seat on certain committees.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And I just wonder your thoughts, if you think this is just a couple of isolated cases, or could this turn into being a real big problem?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think it is a big problem. Right now it\u2019s both. It\u2019s just a couple of cases. But it illustrates the problem. It illustrates the ruling class mentality versus the un-cool class, the country class; and the ruling class exists in all political parties. Republican Party, Democrat Party. The Tea Party is persona non grata to a lot of Republicans. They don\u2019t want the Tea Party to win. They don\u2019t want the Tea Party to become dominant. It\u2019s no different &#8212; you know, I told the story I don\u2019t know how many times of being ripped to shreds by Northeast liberal Republicans about Christians in the Republican Party. They thought it was my job to go talk to the Christians and get \u2019em to stop worrying about abortion because it was embarrassing the rest of these Northeastern Republicans. They didn\u2019t like going to conventions with these Southerners. They didn\u2019t like their friends on the liberal Democrat side making fun of them because who was in their party. So this is really nothing new. What\u2019s causing it to now be seen by all of us is the success of the Tea Party.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019ll agree. And you notice only two people that have decided to do this are people that have held office for a long time and do not want to give it up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly. And will do what they have to do to subvert their own party, in a way, to win.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I agree. Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. Right now it\u2019s only these two, it\u2019s Murkowski and Castle, and we\u2019re not sure what Castle\u2019s going to do. He\u2019s just toying with the idea of third party. We do know that Obama and Biden called Mike Castle to commiserate with him, but I\u2019ll tell you this. One thing, Roger, to keep in mind: The polling data out in Alaska right now shows that Murkowski, as a write-in candidate, is not taking any votes from the Republican. Well, not enough to matter. The Republican nominee is the Tea Party guy, Joe Miller. The Democrat out there and the &#8212; and the independent votes, that\u2019s the vote being split. Murkowski is essentially taking votes away from the Democrat candidate out there in the polling right now.<\/p>\n<p>So the warning for the Republicans is that if this continues to happen and if it expands, the likelihood is that if there is a third party that results from this, the third party could end up being the current Republican Party. They could end up being the minority party in all of this if this is not contained. &#8216;Cause I don\u2019t think the Democrats or the Republicans understand yet the full wave of energy and motion that is propelling the anti-ruling class, anti-Washington sentiment out there &#8212; the Tea Party sentiment, if you will. I think the Democrats have a better idea of it than the Republicans do. I think Democrats&#8230; I mean, they can see these poll numbers. They can talk all they want about how they\u2019ve got polls that show themselves not doing as bad, but they can see Obama at 42% CNN, and they can see their own states. They do local polls.<\/p>\n<p>It was not that long ago that certain Democrat state organizations were asking this outfit in North Carolina, Public Policy Polling, not to report results of congressional and Senate races in the states \u2019cause they were so bad for incumbent Democrats. Now, it\u2019s early. It\u2019s still the middle of September here. The election\u2019s not until &#8212; well, just a little over 40 days. It\u2019s never wise to count something as over, particularly in politics, long before it is. So the conventional wisdom is the Senate is still a long shot. About the Senate, let me just again say: Yeah, it would be great to have a majority in the Senate, but you really need 60 votes &#8212; and, look, the Democrats had 60 and they still couldn\u2019t get all of what Obama wanted.<\/p>\n<p>They had a supermajority in the House, they had 60 seats in the Senate \u2019til Scott Brown won, and they still were having trouble getting things done. It\u2019s not automatic. For the Republicans to get 60, how many of them are going to be Mike Castle types? If you have a majority 51 to 52 but four or five of them are RINOs, then do you really have a voting party majority on issue? You don\u2019t. You do have enough for chairmanships, which is a big deal, but at 51 to 52, here\u2019s something to think about: Fifty-one to 52 seats&#8230; Let\u2019s keep it at 51 because that seems to be the apple of these Republican consultants\u2019 eyes. With 51 seats in the Senate, boy, that would be nirvana &#8212; and let\u2019s say we take the House.<\/p>\n<p>You still have Obama. You don\u2019t have enough of a majority anywhere to override a veto. You have just enough votes in the Senate to get blamed for whatever happens &#8212; and don\u2019t discount that Obama is looking forward to a Republican controlled House. Obama is running for reelection in two years. He cannot, he does not want to run against his own party. He doesn\u2019t care how many Democrats get shellacked. I\u2019m convinced of it. He cares about him &#8212; and if the Democrats lose the House, that\u2019s fine. He could blame the Republicans for whatever does or doesn\u2019t get done the next two years. He\u2019ll have the media backing him up and we\u2019ll be back to the same old thing. This is why the Republicans are going to have put on a different cap and be able to deal with this.<\/p>\n<p>Because we\u2019re gonna get the same old, &#8216;Gridlock, gridlock, gridlock! Party of no! Republicans standing in the way and poor old Obama can\u2019t get anything done.\u2019 That\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. Gridlock would be the best thing that could happen to this country!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And here\u2019s another thing to think about here. Fifty-one seats, 52 seats with people like Castle and Murkowski, Snowe and Collins? That\u2019s enough to give Obama &#8216;bipartisan support.\u2019 That\u2019s the last thing we need is Republicans voting for the Obama agenda and have the press be able to say, &#8216;Bipartisan! The Republicans helped pass\u2019 whatever abomination Obama comes up with. These people are being defeated for a reason. They really are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Republican ruling class in the Senate doesn\u2019t get it yet, either. Jim DeMint is fit to be tied.
