Liberal Forum

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh reminded Republicans that they were not elected to do their job so much as to prevent other people from getting anything done.
"It is to stop Barack Obama. It is to stop the Democrats," Limbaugh said on his show Wednesday about Republicans' agenda.

"There is no other reason why Republicans were elected yesterday. Republicans were not elected to govern."

"How can you govern with a president that is demonstrably lawless when he thinks he has to be?" Limbaugh continued. "The Republican Party was not elected to fix a broken system or to make it work. The Republican Party was not elected to compromise. The Republican Party was not elected to sit down and work together with the Democrats."

Laura Ingraham said that attempts to craft bipartisan legislation and ignore the most conservative members of Congress would hurt the party in 2016.
She lambasted Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for calling for bipartisanship.

Conservative radio host Todd Starnes warned Republicans against working with the president.

A couple of conservatives took issue with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's promise that there won't be a government shutdown.
Conservative radio host Mark Levin said that the last shutdown didn't hurt Republicans and that McConnell "just handed the power of the purse back to the President of the United States."
Red State's Leon Wolf made a similar argument on Thursday.

"It makes zero tactical sense, especially during a confrontation with a defiant and delusional enemy, to declare that you are pre-emptively removing a weapon from your arsenal," Wolf wrote.
