Conservative Pundits Warning: "Don't Govern, It's a trap."

That's right the conservative mouthpieces are panicking like Ackbar -- the new GOP's shouldn't do their jobs, ya know, Govern, they should just sit back down on their hands.

Limbaugh: Republicans Have A Mandate "To Stop Barack Obama." They "Were Not Elected To Govern"

LIMBAUGH:Individual Republican candidates won, and they won big. They won in a wave landslide running against Obamacare. The national Republican brand or image didn't say a word, whichmakes the mandate that they have all the more incredible.It is rare that a political party running for office in a midterm election, not standing for anything, ends up with a mandate. And they have one. And it is the biggest, and perhaps the most important mandate a political party has had in the recent era.And it is very simple what that mandate is. It is to stop Barack Obama. It is to stop the Democrat Party.There is no other reason why Republicans were elected yesterday.

National Review Warns GOP: Governing Is A 'Trap'!

"With all due respect to the senator and like-minded Republicans, this course of action makes no sense as a political strategy," National Review wrote.

They argued that people don't actually care about issues like trade. But mostly National Review said that trying to govern would just make the GOP vulnerable. Democrats will filibuster, Obama will veto, and the party will continue to divide between the Tea Party and the establishment.

Instead, it should be all about 2016.

"That means being a responsible party, to be sure, just as the conventional wisdom has it. But part of that responsibility involves explaining what Republicans stand for — what, that is, they would do if they had the White House. And outlining a governing agenda for the future is a different matter from trying to govern in 2015," National Review wrote. "[N]ot much progress is possible until we have a better president. Getting one ought to be conservatism’s main political goal over the next two years."

Meet the new boss, same ass the old boss.

Glad you're paying such close attention to Rush Limbaugh. I'm sure he's pleased you're one of his listeners.

Well, then they are in great shape then. If there's one thing the GOP can do, it's not govern.

well stupid, if they govern and fuck up then they may loose big in 2016. If they do very little and play it safe, they may keep the status quo.
If you new anything about anything you would understand where Rush is coming from, But you don't.

Well not doing anything and blaming the President for everything seems to have worked for this mid term. But after all it is just a mid term. The real test comes in 2 years when we'll see if they can take 60 seats in the Senate and keep the House and get the Presidency.

Except for vacationing, golfing and drinking, not governing is what they do best.

I'm sure they'll be very successful in those endeavors.

IOW ... SSDD.
