Rush Limbaugh has given marching orders to newly-elected Republican senators and governors. They are not to ever think they should try and govern. They are there only to stop President Obama. That is all.

Media Matters:

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, which makes 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.

Republicans were not elected to govern. How can you govern with a president that disobeys the constitution? How can you govern with a president that is demonstrably lawless when he thinks he has to be? The Republican Party was not elected to fix a broken system and 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. The Republican Party was not elected to slow down the speed the country is headed to the cliff, and go over it slowly. The Republican Party was elected to stop before we get to the cliff. And that's the mandate.

So to be clear here, Republicans broke the federal government by obstructing every single thing they could for the last four years. Then they campaigned on broken government and voters either fell in line like sheep or just didn't bother with that whole pesky voting thing at all.

They broke it, they won it, and now they're going to break it some more. Because dammit, this is about stopping the uppity black man in the White House. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is what happens when 2-year olds are rewarded for bad behavior. They turn into politicians sucking on the teats of billionaires.
