Chris Matthews talks to Pat Buchanan and Heidi Harris about whether Rush Limbaugh has filled a leadership vacuum in the Republican party. Buchanan and Harris both say that by engaging him, President Obama has "elevated" Limbaugh and put him on a level with the President of the United States. They also both think it was a "huge mistake" and go on about how Rush and his gi-normous ego are enjoying all the attention he's getting.

I think that the opposite may be true. If the Republicans want to make Rush Limbaugh the face of their party, good luck to them. They're going to need it.

hey fat ass, need some more drugs. What are you going to give AL F. when he becomes a Senator.

ThinkProgress has the story of Phil Gingrey begging Rush's listeners for forgiveness after he criticized Rush.

kissing rush but. LOL hahahahahahahaha!
You've got to love a party of idiots being led by a herion addicted moron.
It would be funny if it were not true.
Alas it is true but has any republican noticed?
Are they capable?

I meant yes!!!!!

I promise to try to keep this brief:

Limbaugh, Steele, Jindal et al, all have outsize cojones and a very high hyprocrisy quotient. On the one hand, prior to the election, their slogan was "Country First", which I took to mean: "To our fellow Americans, we hope you continue to buy into the belief that the GOP is the best party to run America, even if you thoroughly disagree with the policies of the past 8 years, most of which will continue AS-IS under a McCain Presidency." And just what were those policies?
- Hideous deficit spending;
- An Administration that rivalled FDR in fiscal irresponsibility;
- A bellicose, arrogant, offensive foreign policy that succeeded only in alienating many of our own allies, and caused the U.S. to come to be seen as no better than the "evil" forces we were fighting;
- What Traditional Conservatives almost unanimously viewed as the WORST, MOST CONCENTRATED attack in 230 years, on the sacred protections embodied in our U.S. Constitution.
- A continuation and expansion of financial market deregulation that helped push our already teetering economy right over the cliff.

After 8 long miserable years of this crap, even voters who didn't like Obama and what he stood for, simply could not bring themselves to vote the GOP back in for four more years of the same. Let's face the reality here - Bush & Co. succeeded in radicalizing the U.S. voting majority, into handing the country over to the philosophical heirs of George McGovern and Ted Kennedy.

Obama is staying true to his beliefs, and to the campaign promises he made about his approach to rescuing the Economy. We conservatives may not LIKE his approach, but then again, where were all our grass-roots voices when WE were the party spending Taxpayer money like drunken sailors on a Saturday Night in Tijuana?

The GOP is in trouble. MAJOR trouble. The party that won record-shattering LANDSLIDE electoral victories in 1972, and again 1980, running Conservative-speaking candidates (Nixon and Reagan) against Liberal Democrats, (McGovern and Carter) performed beautifully in uniting the majority of voting Americans, who at heart, truly want what is best for America. The slogan "Country First" was ripped off cynically, by a candidate who stood for straight extension of the most toxic anti-Conservative Bush policies.

And the voters refused to played once-again, for suckers.

I know the power establishment does its utmost to ridicule and diminish the voices of traditional Conservatism that insist the GOP will forever lose its relevancy and public appeal, if it continues pandering to Liberal causes.

The party of Taft and Goldwater is no longer recognizable to those of us who supported, volunteered, contributed, and voted for its Conservative principles as embodied by the candidates running under its banner. It is my strong conviction that the GOP MUST return to those time-honored principles, and weed the Liberal element out, if the GOP is to truly represent a meaningful alternative to the Collectivist Socialism currently being served up.

To put it another way, at least Obama is ACTING consistently with his words, with respect to his stewardship of our Economy. Part of me is more comfortable with the consistency, versus the hypocritical lies, and direct misrepresentation of the Bush Administration as a true representative of Conservative ideology when it was anything but!

Having RINO's at the top, will ruin the GOP, and ultimately bring on its extinction, leaving America a One-Party state.
