GOP will now rush to enact amnesty for illegals, GOP wants to advance left's agenda so can be rid of Tea Party voters and attract democrat voters reliant on gov. who're a permanent voting base. That would be 'Christmas morning' for GOP-Rush Limbaugh

10/16/13, "GOP Seeks to Rid Itself of the Tea Party," Rush Limbaugh

"So it's a done deal, and for the conservatives, it's regroup time. I just want you to be prepared.  There's gonna be an all-out assault on the people that you think have done a good job and by extension an all-out assault on you.  It's gonna come from both parties, gonna come from the media....

There will be a fast move in Republican circles to push "comprehensive immigration reform," to go all-in now.  I can't tell you what the Republicans think they're gonna achieve, except this: I really do believe that some of this is oriented toward driving the conservatives out of the party.  I really think some of this is oriented toward the Republicans actually seeking to get rid of their conservative base.

Even if it takes 15 years in the wilderness to rebuild a new base of people who don't embarrass them, of people who are of the right temperament.  Maybe that's what they're willing to do.  Maybe they've got commitments from their donors to keep 'em afloat if they just get rid of some of these wacko right-wing extremists. "We'll just go all-in here. We'll try to put together a new base of really responsible moderate, temperate, independent-type American voters.

"We'll go out, we'll expand our demographics, we'll get a lot of Hispanics doing this, by throwing away the Tea Party, and we'll get a lot of women voters coming back. We'll throw away our base, and we'll get the transgender and the lesbian, gay, bisexual groups, we'll go out and get the Indians that are ticked off at the Redskins. We'll get them! We'll come out against that, and pretty soon we're gonna own the country."

That is the way they're thinking, and all they gotta do to bring all that off? All they gotta do is throw away their base.  That's Christmas morning for 'em.  Now, the Democrats never stop whipping up their base.  Have you noticed?  There's never any pressure on the Democrats to get rid of their base, and you never hear Democrats ripping in their base. You never hear the Democrats acting embarrassed -- and believe me, their base is genuine Looney Tunes.  Their base lives and workers in asylums. 

But the Democrats never act embarrassed by 'em, never act like they want to get rid of 'em. They never, ever do anything other than whip them up, keep them engaged, and turn them out.  Meanwhile, the Republicans are tamping their base down.  Why?  'Cause the Democrats don't like their (the Republicans') base, and it's more important to be liked by the Democrats within the establishment, I guess, than it is to have the current base they've got."...image from RushLimbaugh.com

==================

Comment: Rush has said this multiple times, that the GOP aims to get rid of conservative voters and get democrat voters reliant on gov. who'll be a permanent voting base. The GOP likes everything about democrats and their voters too. That leaves half the country without representation in the Beltway. This is how it is in the UK--no major party represents normal people. The so-called Conservative Party is really socialist as the whole country is.
