Limbaugh: "I Think Bipartisanship's A Joke"

2009-01-29T20:18:54Z

]]> Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was on CNBC to discuss his article in the WSJ.

LIMBAUGH: But I am trying to show this. You know, this vote that happened in the House yesterday is actually a failure. The bipartisan vote was the defeat: 11 Democrats joining Republicans. The partisan vote was all Democrats. This is going to have trouble. You know, he wants Republicans on the bill, Mark, because he knows this isn't gonna work. He wants Republicans so that he has cover so that they can't run for reelection saying they opposed this debacle. I'm trying to propose something here that will work with the best interests of the country at heart.

Limbaugh Proposes Bipartisan Stimulus Plan

2009-01-29T16:03:56Z

]]> Rush Limbaugh phoned in on 'Fox & Friends' this morning to explain his economic stimulus plan: The way they [Democrats] describe bipartisan is when Republicans cave and agree with them and vote with them so they can say it had bipartisan support.

Limbaughs plan: Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Give that 1% to President Obama. Let's say the vote was 54% to 46%. As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009: 54% of the $900 billion -- $486 billion -- will be spent on infrastructure and pork as defined by Mr. Obama and the Democrats; 46% -- $414 billion -- will be directed toward tax cuts, as determined by me.
