Limbaugh: RINOs, Elites Won't Stop Palin

Conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh said the strategy
that GOP RINOs, the ruling elite, and the news media are using to blame
former Gov. Sarah Palin and the tea party for being a detriment to the
Republican Party during the 2010 midterm elections won’t work. On his
national radio show Thursday, Limbaugh said the record number of House
seats picked up by Republicans was due in no small part to Palin, who
targeted 20 Democrats for defeat, 18 of whom lost.
“What's going on here, folks, is very simple,” Limbaugh said. “They want
to establish a lie very firmly in the minds of the public that the tea
party hurt the Republican Party in these elections. They want to use this
to stop Sarah Palin. Republican insiders are trying to figure out now how
to stop Sarah Palin.”
Limbaugh said he received several e-mails over the last few days from
“so-called insiders” denying the GOP is trying to derail Palin’s chances
at winning the party’s presidential nomination in 2012. “A bunch of the
people named as trying to stop Sarah Palin sent me a note [saying], ‘It's
not me, don't blame me.’ Well, fine, I don't care who it is, we know it
is happening.”
Limbaugh said the ill-advised plan to blame Palin and the tea party for
splintering the GOP after a record pickup of seats by Republicans in the
midterms turns reality on its head.
“If anybody is an obvious winner here . . . it would be Palin. Look at
the grief and the mockery that she got for putting what the media claimed
were targets on 20 Democrat incumbents on her website. Look at the grief
that she's got ever since she was named McCain's running mate. Eighteen
of those Democrats she targeted lost. That's a pretty amazing and
impressive record. Sarah Palin targeted a bunch of Democrats for defeat,
and 18 of them lost. That's more than any Republican elites are
doing.”
Limbaugh said the Republican Party blew its chance to win a Senate seat
in Nevada, where tea party favorite Sharron Angle had a chance to unseat
Democratic incumbent Harry Reid, when it decided to throw all its ground
money to Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who lost a senate bid to another
candidate embraced by the tea party movement, Marco Rubio.
“We [the tea party] didn't have any ground money in Nevada because we
gave it to Carly Fiorina,” Limbaugh added about choices the GOP made in
which candidates to support. “That's where a lot of the so-called
ground-game money went. We didn't have any.”
