Limbaugh Blasts Republicans For Enabling Obamacare: GOP ?Has Made Decision To Side With Washington?

Rush Limbaugh went after the so-called GOP establishment on Friday for avoiding measures to defund Obamacare, dismissing claims that shutting down the government shutdown over the law would backfire as it did for Republicans in 1995, and arguing that DOMA provided a model for reversing seemingly entrenched legislation.

?It?s the most unpopular federal program ever, and the Republican Party is choosing not to align themselves with the majority of the American people,? Limbaugh said. ?It just boggles the mind.?

Limbaugh excoriated the GOP for running from Senator Mike Lee?s recent proposal to threaten a government shutdown over funding for the Affordable Care Act:

?Folks, the Republican establishment?the GOP, RNC?is not interested in this at all. Quite the contrary. I mean, we?ve got Republican Party leaders actually advocating for the total implementation of Obamacare now, under the theory, ?Look, it?s law. You can?t stop it. And, if you shut down the government, the Republicans are gonna get blamed again just like 1995. It?s a lose-lose proposition. Just go ahead and let the law be implemented and watch it implode and kill the Democrats that way.? And I don?t intellectually understand it.?

?There?s a great story by Daniel Mitchell, National Review Online posted all the way back in February of 2011,? Limbaugh said. ?It is a great detailed story of how the 1995 budget shutdown really did not hurt the Republican Party. It wasn?t a deathblow. And in fact, not only did it not really do that much damage to the party, it was a good thing for the country.?

Limbaugh then argued that the Democrats? defeat of the Defense of Marriage Act could be used as a model for overturning unpopular legislation. ?The Republican Party has made the decision to side with Washington,? he said. ??Well, you know, it?s law now. We can?t stop it.? Well, I?m sorry, but the Defense of Marriage Act was the law, and Obama and the Democrats said, ?You know what? We?re not gonna defend it anymore. We?re not gonna litigate it. We?re not gonna enforce it.? And that was a Democrat law!?
