Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday blasted the Republican Party as  “irrelevant” and responsible for “creating one of the greatest political  disasters” he’s ever seen.
“I was trying to think earlier today,  if ever in my life I could remember any major political party being so  irrelevant,” the conservative radio host said on his show, according to a  
transcript.  “I have never seen it. I have never seen a major political party simply  occupy placeholders, as the Republican Party is doing.”
                 
Limbaugh slammed the Republican Party for consistently  failing to offer any “serious opposition” to the Democratic Party or  President Barack Obama. And now the party has made an “inexplicable  political cave-in” with the agreement to reopen the government and lift  the debt ceiling, he said.
 
“There hasn’t been any opposition, not any serious opposition,”  Limbaugh said. 
“There may have been votes against this or that, votes  against Obamacare. There may have been votes against the stimulus, but  in terms of a package of policies, a package of principled beliefs, of  opposition expressed daily by party leaders against what’s happening in  this country, there hasn’t been.”
