Rush: GOP has a mindset of ‘permanent minority’

Whether it's immigration, Obamacare, whatever decimating push on any given day, it's the same with the current lot of Republicans...I don't get it either...
"The thing I don't get is why, just because the Democrats want to do something, that we have to go along. Why can't our reaction to what they want be 'No'? Why must there always have to be an alternative that is rooted in what they want?

Pick the issue. The Democrats are always driving. They're always the ones wanting, they're always the ones wanting bigger government, more government, and we never say, 'No!' We always think we have to have an alternative to whatever they propose.

Why don't we ever take the initiative? ... We could stop everything they do, but we don't. We don't push back.

I guess we have a mindset of permanent minority. We have a mindset, apparently that says, 'most people hate us.' 'The Democrats advance something, people love Democrats, so the people must want this, so we better look like we're in favor of some of it, otherwise we're going to be hated.' That's how I interpret what the Republicans react to things, how they react and what they do."
