Rush Rails Against Gingrich‘s ’Inexplicable‘ and ’Mind-Boggling’ Obamacare Comments

Don‘t ask Rush Limbaugh to support Newt Gingrich’s comments over the last 24 hours. He won’t.

On radio today, Limbaugh characterized Gingrich‘s support for a variation of Obama’s individual insurance mandate yesterday as “inexplicable” and “mind-boggling.” The top conservative radio host refused to defend Gingrich’s comments, and even was visibly annoyed while describing Gingrich’s position. Here’s part of what he said (via Mediaite):

“I am not going to justify this. I am not going to explain it. The attack on Paul Ryan, the support for an individual mandate in health care? Folks, don’t ask me to explain this. There is no explanation! What do you mean, if I don’t explain it, who will? There is no explanation for it. First off, it cuts Paul Ryan off at the knees. It supports the Obama administration in the lawsuits that 26 states have filed over the mandate. I guess, what? Back in 1993, Newt supported an individual mandate, everybody should buy insurance. I am as befuddled as anyone else is what I’m telling you.”

Watch below:

You can also listen to more of Rush‘s thoughts on Gingrich’s comments below (including his hypothesis that Gingrich is trying to carve out a “niche”), in two parts via DailyRusbo:


It should be noted that Gingrich has since come out and said he doesn’t support the Obamacare mandate “period.”

    When I hear “Newt,“ I hear ”establishment.” I don‘t want establishment and I don’t want Newt. I wasn’t too thrilled with some of Mr. Cain’s non-answers in the last debate, but he is head and shoulders above the rest of the losers running on the GOP side. As of right now I’m firmly behind Mr. Cain.

    In my estimation this is, one of, if not the most pivotal elections in the history of the Union and the options right now really give me a sad and hopeless feeling. This country desperately needs a conservative leader and we’ve got Mr. Cain and bunch of garbage thus far.

    Yeah, he also said that his guess about these establishment types like him is that they really don‘t believe we’re in as dire straits as the Tea Party types (& others) do. They think it’s all unduly exaggerated. They just think it’s like the past “cycles” when the Dems are in control and all they have to do is get in charge of the money – no worries – it’ll all be fine like always. Like it’s always been “fine”!? That‘s why we’re in the mess we’re in now. No, it wasn’t fine. He’s one of the “old let’s get along“ moderate Repub establishment” types. I really like a lot of other things he says — great intellect and expert on our history, constitution but he’s not what we need now. We ARE in dire straits and at a dangerous tipping point – either we go all Socialist/Marxist or go back to our constitutional, capitalistic America the Founders wanted. So no….he doesn’t get my vote.

    I believe all Americans will agree that the USA desperately needs Health Care Reform in order to meet the medical needs of all Americans. Obamacare certainly isn’t the answer, it has already caused unprecedented increases in premiums while cutting coverage in several areas. Non insured and under insured expenses will continue to be placed on the insured. The medical profession itself is what needs a complete overall to drive prices down where both medical care and insurance are affordable for all. Looks like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, if ever.

Newt stands by repeal and replace or make it workable. Nothing wrong with that. For me, at least he recognizes we have a healthcare problem and is not a coward addressing the issue. I don’t want stupid vouchers, or gift cards for my medicare. Now that is insane.!!!

      There is no rational argument against the fact that health care is a social good. To argue that it makes sense to have for profit insurance companies, for profit drug companies, for profit medical equipment companies peel off exceptional profits which limit the money available for actual care is ignorant at best. Insurance companies like Medicare because it covers a group they would could not insure adequately and still make a “adequate” profit. US physicians make at least twice what physicians make in the next highest income country. Nixon proposed national healthcare in 1972 and it is long overdue. The system will collapse on its own wait, while 10s of millions of people don’t have equal access to care. The conservative Republican talking points on healthcare are laughable. Glad to see that Gingrich is not as out of touch as I thought he was.

      Today Rush said that, “Being accused of rape is a resume enhancement for liberals and democrats.”

      Boy, doesn‘t history show that’s true.

      Hey, why no coverage of the John Ensign scandal on this website?

      The old “Good Ole Boys” club would have been able to go after Paul Ryan – not anymore.
      We need Paul Ryan and some of us want him as president (if not now, then future – for sure!!

      Newt, just shut up and go away already. Not what this country needs at all, vote for TEA party candidates. Not sure who right now, but it’s not Newt, that’s for sure.

      Yup, when I saw him on the couch with that ‘vain’ woman, spouting pap regarding the greatest hoax ever foisted on mankind, it was over for me. What a waste, the guys great when it comes to constitutionalism and our history.
      Nevertheless, Sarah would’ve spanked him in the primaries…

      Newt might as well pack it in, the gig is up, being intelligent isn’t an excuse for being a progressive! Many people are intelligent and believe in the constitution and what it stands for, especially smaller, less intrusive government. Maybe Newt could incorporate Meghan McCain into his campaign.

      Hmmmm! Wonder what a Herman Cain/Alan West ticket would do for the great number of Obama supporters? Could ask Condi Rice back for Sec. of State. Wow!!!!

      @Showtime… hardly ‘this year’s winner’ since that expression is probably older than you are.

      @Ming some of the stuff Pat touched on sounds pretty bad. I have emailed him pretty much begging him to start a blog or something to go in depth of what he knows about Paul since Gray lived in his district. From what I remember, last rant may have been on April 26th, it was something to the effect that Paul would vote against a bill so as to get a lesser similar bill through that would have all kinds of pork built into it. RP has also taken position against the killing off UBL, in favor of ground zero mosque, lets be frank he IS too old, 76, will be labeled as “the old angry republican racist white male”, he wont get that young vote BHO has locked. RP has taken some odd positions with respect to legalizing drugs, 9/11 conspiracies and his association with Alex Jones is a big no no too.
      RP cannot beat BHO he has good ideas, very passionate but the MAN is all wrong. He doesnt have the traits of a Commander in Chief. If he gets the nomination its a lock for BHO’s 2nd term, as I have said here in the past, in the words of ‘John Connor; from Terminator Salvation…
      we are dead…. WE ARE ALL DEAD!!

      Rush is taking pot shots at Newt out of envy of Newt’s ability to make love to his third wife where Rush has to smuggle Viagra from Dominican Republic in order to attempt to make love to his fourth wife.

      Newt couldn’t follow through on his Contract with America- he isn’t going to follow though now.
      Except to progressivize the Republican Party with the same old d*ck wagging Clinton era of the 90s.
      been there and didn’t like getting screwed then.

      REMEMBER:”Forget about my past, Judge me now” -Newt

      TRY:” Forgive me for my past, Judge me now”- Sincere acknowledgement of WRONG DOING

      Imagine all the people he could feed and wells to be dug or piped in to thirsty third world communities.
      Nope, he is going to spend it on mailers, yard signs, lavish parties that I won’t get an invite to….(as an American person voting)
      And lose…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

      Gingrich is a loser. Time for Rush to see the time for the GOP to look at Rep Allen West or Herman Cain as viable candidates. They will impact the Dem strategy of ‘racism’ in the election.

      Newt’s time has long passed and he should have never gotten in the race. He repersents the Goverment of the Past not even the present. He is clearly a Republican Progressive and sorry Newt there are no more take backs this race. We are not going to support any Progressive from either party. We have had enough and enough is just that enough. Get out of the race and save yourself a lot of money, time, and effort.

      obama has it locked up. can you imagine how he is going to act, when he doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected? this is where you will see his “real” agenda, he will have nothing to lose, and he won’t be negotiating with anyone.
