This is a catastrophe for the country. We have two parties &#8212; the damaging and the stupid, and I am a member of the stupid party. Why Republican candidates who don&#8217;t tap into those of us in talk radio who make the arguments for a living or we have to get another job is one of the great riddles that would stump the sphinx of Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New York and Washington are bubbles. We are there to provide money and votes. Ideas come from New York and Washington. That&#8217;s why they are so lousy&#8230; The Republican leadership astonishes me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney knows me. I was at a fundraiser for him at a private home two months before the election. Someone even said, &#8216;Dennis Prager is here. Why don&#8217;t you have him write some speeches?&#8217; And Mitt smiled and made some sweet comment about me but he might as well have suggested that he learn Sanskrit before the election. It was a non-ideological battle. I wrote about that. I couldn&#8217;t be too severe because I wanted him to win. Jobs, jobs, jobs. It&#8217;s all about jobs. That&#8217;s what the brilliant advisers to Mitt Romney decided, that you&#8217;re Mr. Fix It, and you can fix the economy better than Barack Obama. Remember how I said that Barack Obama is not the issue, [it is leftism]. The issue is ideas. Left-wing ideas ruin a country. Let&#8217;s say that. At least you&#8217;ll have clarity. Most Americans don&#8217;t understand that it is leftism vs Americanism.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On his show Mar. 8, 2013, Dennis Prager said: &#8220;The Republican leadership lives in as much as a hermetically sealed bubble as the Democratic leadership.
