Syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh said there was "nothing about what Democrats believe" that he wanted to compromise with during his hour-long interview Tuesday with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, saying Republicans needed to stop worrying about being loved and focus on defeating the opposing party.
Conservative ideas, he said, will "trump Obama's ideas every day":
LIMBAUGH: I think they're scared. Like everyone else they want to be loved, and they have bought into this notion of why they're hated and disliked. They're trying to change that, rather than defeat the people responsible for it all. I'm about defeating them, within the political arena of ideas. I'm not talking about anything of a deleterious nature, just defeat them in the arena of ideas. I think our ideas will trump Obama's ideas every day, but he doesn't want our ideas on the table. He's not about ideas. He's brute force. Obama's about eliminating opposition, not working with it, so why should we help them? I think the Democrats are the people that need to be defeated. There's nothing about what they believe that I want to compromise with. I want to defeat it. The country's hanging by a threat here. As founded, it's hanging by a thread. We're about to lose it. Why compromise with the people responsible for this?
