Talk radio pundit Rush Limbaugh blasts the federal budget agreement reached on Friday, saying that if spending cuts total only $38 billion there is going to be “hell to pay” with tea party activists who want much deeper cuts.
He also criticizes the GOP for compromising with Democrats, and says if they continue to “cave” it will be a “disaster” for conservatives in promulgating their agenda.
On his Monday show, Limbaugh began his discussion of the budget agreement by saying that the tea party has changed the entire debate.
“I never thought I’d see a day when the budget is the primary focus of interest in the United States of America,” he said. “The tea party has changed all of that.
“But 38 billion? What happened to the campaign promise of $100 billion?”
Rush said he told an audience Friday night that “if $38 billion is it, there’s going to be hell to pay. This is not going to be satisfactory, not when we accrue $38 billion in debt in two and a half days.”
He said on Monday: “The deal is done. The debate has shifted from spending to cutting $38 billion. I’m sorry I can’t start throwing parties over it, but it’s a first step.
“But I wish they had kept their promise. I wish it had been $100 billion.
“If the lesson learned from this is that the way to go is compromise with the left, then it’s going to be a disaster.
The left is not going to compromise on the redistribution of wealth or income or tax increases for the wealthy. They are not going to compromise on their core belief. They have to be defeated. And by defeat I mean more and more election victories like we had in November.”
Limbaugh is concerned that Republicans will also be willing to compromise with Democrats on lifting the ceiling on federal debt.

Why are we even talking about this dope fend racist pig? Who cares what he has to say about the budget. Further, to hell with the Tea Party.
10:43 - You sound like one of those open minded, let's hear everyone's side, liberals. NOT.
I love Rush's comments and I hope he runs for 2012 so we can put Obama on the Welfare plan...
7:09 that's right, let's have Rush/Hannity ticket in 2012. Between the two of them they have a GED level education.
Let's send the muslim socialist back to Kenya.
Ok, I'm off to clean my gun and read my bible.

Not sure your intent on the education level, but reading your Bible and cleaning your weapons as well as the potential of Shawn and Rush running our on target.
Alex you and Dan must be best buds. Maybe you two to could put your education status together and run for Kindegarten class president.
Too Obvious that Alex is a Left wing Wack job, and actually is probably off to take his PROZAK or other type of behavior meds as they all do; either drink booz or take meds. In 2012 you Wack Jobs will need plenty of tissues to cry b/c your Congressman and Senators will be in the unemployment lines.
You would only nominate a Limbaugh/Hannity ticket if you felt that Obama did not win by a big enough margin last time.
Chances are, there will be some wack job like Bachman or Gingrich running in 2012. Smarter and more moderate republicans will sit this one out and wait until 2016.
Do any of you honesly think that anyone has a chance against Obama in 2012?
The ants in my yard have more common sense than this illegal immmigrant Obama. Why do you think this Knuckle Head has spent Millions of our tax paying money to keep his Bith certificate private and out of the court's eye?
Obama is Toast in 2012 and no butter to slide him out dude.
Gingrich is a moderate, plus he has so much baggage the press will eat him alive. So I hope he doesn't get the nomination. Bachman has guts to get the job done though. I hope she is part of the ticket.She is not afraid to tell everyone what the left is up to. Just what we need.
9:55 you prove my point. It is because of people like you Obama will win in a land slide.
For the argument's sake, could you please tell me who stands a chance against him in 2012 and why?
Well lets see: We have M. Bachman, Sarah Palin, Gingrich, Col. Allen West from Florida; a African American who hates Obama (OBUMER), The story goes on and I do not have enough room to write. But Guess What Shorty? The free bus rides for the undercalass to the voting booth will not happen this time not will the Blcak Panthers interfere anymore. Good Luck Democrats but I would suggest to update your resumes now...
I wish Colin Powell would run.
