Rush Limbaugh has called Ron Paul's plan the only one that makes sense!
Plan is for real cuts
See transcript with caller and see that even the neocons might be on their way to admitting Ron Paul is the only hope this party has left to save America.
Mere hours before Paul announced his “Restore America Now” budget plan in Las Vegas on Monday, Rush was asked by a caller on his program how any of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates were going to seriously address our looming fiscal crisis once they reached the White House. The man was looking for answers — and Rush gave it to him: “You’re not going to believe my answer. Ron Paul has a good idea.”
Limbaugh chuckled with the caller a bit, but then got serious as he outlined Paul’s budget proposal, quoting Kevin Williamson, who wrote an article about the proposal for National Review Online: Ron Paul is about to show the Republican presidential field what a serious fiscal reform plan looks like. He is going to propose $1 trillion in real spending cuts. He is going to propose immediately freezing spending by numerous government agencies back to 2006 levels … Beyond that the EPA would see a 30% cut. The Food and Drug Administration would see a 40% cut. Foreign aid would be zeroed out immediately. And he would take an ax to Pentagon funding for wars. Medicaid, food stamps, family support programs, children’s nutrition programs would all be block-granted to the states and be removed from the mandatory spending column of the federal budget. Some functions of the eliminated departments, such as Pell grants, would be continued elsewhere in the federal bureaucracy. The federal workforce would be reduced by 10% …
Rush concluded: What this indicates is something, folks, that we have got to face, if we are serious about this. Fooling around the margins isn’t going to get it done. A 2% tax cut here, or a 3% tax variation over there is not going to fix what’s wrong. Genuine, big spending cuts are the only thing that is going to bring us back …
Limbaugh then said something interesting: that Paul’s ideas were just conventionally conservative ideas. Explained Rush: Now, these are not really Ron Paul’s ideas. On this program I myself have suggested freezing spending at 2008 levels. Let’s freeze spending back to Clinton’s years. Paul is stealing that idea. Cutting the EPA? We’ve long been an advocate of this … eliminating whole bureaucracies. But nobody on our side has ever seriously proposed this and Ron Paul is going to.
He finished: “We have called for everything that Paul is suggesting. He will be the first candidate to actually do so.”

Rush only infuences the minds of his dittoheads and any thinking person should know that if Rush likes something there is something wrong with it. The GOP is a mess, First everyone liked Bachmann and talked of Palin maybe running, then it was Perry, and then Cain and now it is Paul, after the nominations it will be Romney, only partisan hacks would take any of these endorsements seriously, how could they when the right cannot even back one candidate for more than a week or two. In the end Romney will get the nod by the GOP Leadership and that will be that, four more years of OBAMA. Hey GOP, try find quality candidates next time, my guess the right will trot Rand and Christie out in 2017 and who knows from the left.
