Its alfull hard to miss Limbaugh, that big fat bucket of shit. The leader of the New Republican party.

The leader of the New Republican party.

joelabey also drank deeply of his party's kool-aid. LOL I love it when people come out and admit it.

Goat-Rush just publicly resigned as Leader of the Party of NO last week, so I'd go easy on the koolaid insults.

"A lot of people listen daily to him and live by every word."

Like RedNeckVille

"Pennsylvania Republican Tom Ridge"

Which party's kool-aid again??

"Mr. Ridge, Barack Obama is president of the United States today because of stupid, ignorant people who think like you do. You pose - you and your ignorance are the most expensive commodity this country has. You think you know everything. You don't know diddly squat. You're just plain embarrassing and ludicrous. But it doesn't surprise me that you're the kind of Republican that our last candidate attracted. Because you're no Republican at all based on what the hell you just said right here."

Rush Limbaugh

Seems Ridge is running for something, AGAIN! He'll, along with some of you, never figure out that Rush Limbaugh is an Entertainer who happens to be Conservative of thought.

He's easy to listen to, has some good points (the majority are), and goes frequently off the deep end (ever listen to Air America?), but has, as mentioned, an audience of 20 + million on any given day (the + is for the additional audience whenever he's panned by one of his MANY critics) can't you just imagine the $ signs attached!

Ridge needed help from Bush II to get a job, and did a poor job when hired, now he's on his own AND not very relevant in the scheme of things! But he's doing what any good politician will do, blame someone/thing else, distract!

I, once in a while, wonder where the TRUE representatives of the opposition are lately, hiding, licking perceived wounds, where? Not a peep from anyone!

Is this as good as it gets? OH, MY GOD please tell me no!!

At this point, limbaugh must realize that his actions are detrimental to the gop efforts, but gold for his personal benefit. It seems the gop wants to reign him in, but can't. Why doesn't the entire party just stand up and disavow this stain? Stand up and shout it out: this bozo does not represent us and goes against the core values of our party. As a collective, state that HE is not a true republican, as opposed to having limbaugh accuse any of his detractors of the same thing.

Amazing, isn't it? McCain loses the election b/c of the Bush Administration's failures; McCain's hiding and Cheney cannot be silenced.

Rush resigned in jest from his "liberal appointed" leadership. He, himself, stated he was no leader of the Republican party. Yet the Kool-Aid drinkers on the left persisted in calling him the leader. So, in an attempt to squash any additional silly Kool-Aid drinkers wishful statements, he resigned from the fictitious position.

Yet the Kool-Aid drinkers on the left persisted in calling him the leader.

"I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership." - Michael Steele

"I think Rush is a great leader for conservatives." - Bobby Jindal

Ridge-Limbaugh, Powell-Limbaugh, Steele-Limbaugh: All serve to underscore the schism between a tiny handful of respectable Repubs that may remain and noisy, hysterical fascist hate-mongers who follow Rush and his brown-shirted (yes!) clones off the cliff into oblivion. Actually the United States has survived its Hitlers - named Nixon, Reagan and Bush (just their styles were different) - and the game is now to make the civilized world realize that were not THAT bad. herm

some of you, never figure out that Rush Limbaugh is an Entertainer

Dogen will be apologising to Rush shortly, as does ever NOPper who dare suggest he's just "an entertainer".

Congressman Phil Gingrey (R-GA):

"I mean, it's easy if you're Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don't have to try to do what's best for your people and your party. "

I'm Sorry, Rush
"I clearly ended up putting my foot in my mouth on some of those comments and I just wanted to tell you, Rush, [...] that I regret those stupid comments."

Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC):

"Anybody who wants [President Obama] to fail is an idiot, because it means we're all in trouble..."

I'm Sorry, Rush
Sanford's Communications Director, said that "the governor was not referring to anyone" in particular.

I guess tom and the old general are the new leaders and spokesmen.

i support Rush and encourage HIM to continue being the mouthpiece of the GOP. Under his brilliant leadership the Party will be experiencing a bold new era in the coming years. Keep it up Rush!!! Don't let anyone convince you that you are divisive or harmful in any way. in fact, step it up a notch!

I guess tom and the old general are the new leaders and spokesmen.

A lot better than the blowhard broken rudder bunch that have taken over since November...

Is Rush Limbaugh too divisive?

Ummm, that's kinda like asking if the sky is too blue.

That's wot he is.

That's all he is.

That's his entire schtick.

If some GOPhers wanna continue to give credence to this tub of goo that's their decision.

Personally, Spud thinks that choosing this thrice-married, under-educated, prescription drug abusing racist, sexist and homophobe as the living embodiment of right wing "values" aint the brightest idear in the world.

Call it a hunch.

Be Well.

I agree with DethSpud for once, it's who Limbaugh is. If he wasn't divisive, why would anyone listen to him? He's found a niche for himself and the more stories come out bashing him, the better he does. There is no bad press for Limbaugh.

If anyone thinks Rush is going to back off for the good of the GOP, they're dreaming.

His ego is way too out of control for that.

He would trash mouth his mother's funeral if it brought him another million listeners.

Randy Newman had some piquant things to say about guys like Rush in his song, "It's Money that I Love".

Good news from (most of) America.

Most streets ending in a cul de sac are quite short but Limbaugh Lane was a very, very long and narrow one going steeply downhill. It made for a very easy 20 to 30-year ride but has now reached a walled-off precipice. Its narrowness is making the ongoing and very necessary turning back very difficult(some people suggest that the wall should be blown up instead) and the steeply uphill return journey will take more effort than the long coast downward to its dead end.

Amazing how CNN and the rest of the lib networks never talk about the "devisive" speech of Democrats. Limbaugh is an advocate of conservatism and that's it. CNN, MSNBC and the networks advocate liberalism. They all have a voice but they all seem to attack the voices of conservatism in Limbaugh and Cheney.

It's funny how it seems they never see people like Rosie O'Donnel or Keith Olberman as devisive with all of their inflammatory language. What about Wanda Skyes wishing death on Limbaugh? I guess that is not devisive either. Liberals suck!

yeah but, yeah but, Billy did it too......

who cares... Rush is an entertainment figure at best... He certianly has no character...

Look at him... He's a racist, drug addict, hypocrite, tub of grease. Family values leader huh?

The GOP would be better off with a Vitter/Craig duo running it...

What about Wanda Skyes wishing death on Limbaugh?

That was a joke, numbnuts.

When Wanda sed she "wished Rush Limbaugh's kidneys would fail" she was making a joke based on Rush's "I Hope Obama Fails" comment.

When Wanda sed it she was joking.

When Rush sed wot he sed he wasn't.

Get it yet?

Prolly not, eh?

You still think CNN is a "liberal" news service.

Yer hopeless, basically.

Be Well.

devisive - nice new word - it means democratdivisive I guess.

Wanda Sykes is so not wishing anybody would die.
Jesus, some people can't think let alone spell.

Like no one knew this but its nice to see a person of common sense from the Republican Party finially say something that makes sense.

I've listened to Rush Limbaugh quite a few times and I can say that he has never identified himself as a Republican (seems the leftist media does that). The only description of his ideology has been a Conservative.

Rush Limbaugh has an audience of 20 million people.

Judging from who I hear and read of folks commenting on Limbaugh roughly 18 million of those listeners must be liberals. Do youse guys have a masochistic streak?

Even if Rush was the actual leader of the GOP odds are they'd be in better shape then they are cause even if he does have miscues he says things that need to be said (90% of what I know about him is from the Left).

Divisive: buzz word used by liberals as a slam to anyone who has morals and speaks publicly about them.

What is happening to the Republicans is what the Democrats went through after the 94 Congressional debacle. Republicans will stammer for a bit, wait for someone to emerge (most likely after the 2010 elections) and move from there. The US is a two party system, and power always shifts from one party to the other. People need to chill and just wait. Personally, as a Republican, I am glad that we are going through this. We go to the conservative extreme, realize that the rest of the country doesnt support the extreme right agenda, move to the right-center, prop up new, young, focused, representatives and take back control. This takes time ... so lets be patient.

Meanwhile, lets sit back and watch Obama make a fool of the Left that voted for him. Cant wait for the disenchanted Lefties to support Nancy Pelosi or Ralph Nader!

And who for you, DCS?

Newt?

Betelg: Ive always been a fan of Republicans from the Reagan era and Northeast Republicans. I like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, and Mitt Romney. Gingrich is a damn good political tactician and I honestly would have loved him to run the party but he has too much baggage.

I do think its funny. The first President to really organize the religious right was Jimmy Carter. He had let them down (as he did with most Americans) and the Republicans took advantage had developed a based that they felt could counter the Dem base. I think the Republicans fear that their only voter base is also their biggest albatross, and they just dont know what to do.

I dont mind waiting a few years for the new crop of Republican elected's to take control of the party. In the meantime, I am going to sit back and enjoy the show.

Newyawker-
You can stop now, but it is interesting that a thrice-divorced bachelor recovering addict who makes about $50 mill./year, lives alone with "pumkin" (his cat), and avoided service in Vietnam due to a cyst on his ass is the "conservative" bullhorn and poster boy.

...and Colin Powell is a RHINO....

DCS-
re: I think the Republicans fear that their only voter base is also their biggest albatross, and they just dont know what to do.

They do, and they're right.

It sounds trite, but the Republican Party is a regional party now, but they can't cross the base.

I just find it odd that the most prominent mouthpieces of the "conservative" base are multi-millionaire hacks trying to sell the same old wine when the only hope for conservatism is economic populism, which is a easy sell for the left if they would dare to use it.

#42 | Posted by BetelG

Don't look at me. RCADE needs to do some offline server maintenance!

Betel: I disagree. Republicans are not a regional party - far from it. I am watching Republicans win local elections in the Northeast in districts and jurisdictions I didnt think possible. In NJ, they have taken control of counties that were once Dem controlled. I just read that a Republican just won a seat on Alexandria, VA city council! Republicans are winning in state and local elections all over the country. I think we want to believe that the Republicans that sit in Washington are the "true" leaders of the party - and thankfully they are not.

Newt took over the House in 94 (with the help of Clinton) by enlisting smart, local, talent. It was grassroots.

Personally, I want the Republicans to focus on state and local elections and let the Dems have Washington for a couple of years. Lets develop our farm team and then march on Washington when Obama is done.

BTW - I wouldnt be surprised if there are Blue Dogs who will quietly keep voting against the President on his agenda (going to NewYawker's point). Republicans do not completely own the conservative agenda.

DCS-
The Libertarian Party has the same hopes.

Newt?

I like Newt

Judging from media exposure, Newt is the national front-runner in 2012, not that the Republican Party is living in the (Reagan) past...

BetelG: The Libertarian Party is useless. They should realize that their best hope is to support candidates like Ron Paul and use the Republican machine to push more candidates with similar philosophy. I look at the Libertarian Party and the Green Party as people who are upset because they couldnt get a seat at the table with the big boys. We are and will always be a two party system - so if you want to make a difference, pick a camp and be smart about it. This is where Powell and Ridge have got it right.

Newt Gingrich the puling hypocrite. Condemns Clinton for doing what He was doig at the time of His condemning of Clinton. What a bullshit conartist.

Larry

"I like Newt"

Goatman - Newt has reinvented himself, but I just can see him winning and honestly cannot see him beating Obama. Lets put Palin, let her get crushed, allow her to go away, and run a strong, credible candidate in 2016. Why waste our time and money in a losing battle - lets use our money to win the governorships.

Gingrich is an idiot...

Newt is far from an idiot.

I'm sure you do, Goatman. Did you like Newt when he said that the 2007 NIE by the CIA was "a deliberate attempt to undermine the policies of President Bush by members of his own government by suggesting that Iran no longer poses a serious threat to U.S. national security."

That is, before Newt was a staunch defender of the unassailable veracity of the intel. community? (I believe that began around Nov. 2008...)

Newt Gingrich the puling hypocrite.

Larry, did you ever use the word 'puling' before you saw it on the DR?

That aside, what politician isn't a hypocrite?

You are right -- probably none, so that puts him on par with all the rest

Did you like Newt when ...

I've pretty much always liked him

Newt is far from an idiot.

Did you like him when he was calling for impeachment of Clinton while secretly cheating on his second wife?

Yes

Goatman - I would be thrilled if it can happen sooner. But then again, if she sticks around, Dems can continue to focus on her, and allow us to quietly rebuild the ranks. Now that I think about it, there is great value in Palin ... Do you think we can get Dan Quayle back out on the circuit ....

But Newty is the future and the past of the modern Republican Party, and I wish you the best of luck.

Against Newt is the total lack of coherence or moral principle, but on his side is the raw ambition without the drag of coherence or moral principle.

But then again, if she sticks around, Dems can continue to focus on her, and allow us to quietly rebuild the ranks

The focus on her may bring that about or if she runs in '12, whenever the democrats bring up her kids, moose jokes, whatever, the public having heard over 4 years of that drivel will be struggling to stifle a yawn and may even be sympathetic towards her. Either way, I think you have a valid point that the democrats relentless dogging of her will backfire in one way or another.

On the Sean Hannity show a few months ago I was informed by Newt that he would have launched a missile strike against the DPRK, which I'm sure amused you.

He hasn't mentioned it since, but maybe he's just fickle about who he wants to bomb and who he wants to fuck depending on the day of the week.

Newty isnt the future - he is the here and now. Like I said, I love it that the Dems continue to focus on Newt, Rush, and other extremists within the party. The Republicans on the ground are gaining traction and really dont identify with the Washington DC or inside the beltway Republicans.

Anyone that has done local, grassroots political organization know that Washington, DC has less and less value to the local races. While it helps to have a big name "parachute in" for a fundraiser and some candidates can benefit from the coattails of the presidential campaign, the voters will eventually vote for the person they want.

Dont believe me - follow the NJ gubernatorial race.

He hasn't mentioned it since, but maybe he's just fickle about who he wants to bomb and who he wants to fuck depending on the day of the week.

Probably. Brilliant political analysis, boyd.

I forgot to add - not even "The Messiah" can save Corzine. And honestly, not sure if "The Messiah" can save the "Big Tent" candidate - Arlen "Dems are idiots because they welcomed me" Specter.

Like I said, I love it that the Dems continue to focus on Newt, Rush, and other extremists within the party.

You do understand that if you were an elected Republican you would have to apologize to "Rush" within 48 hours for that.

BetelG - ahhhh, the beauty of working behind the scenes vs. being the elected.

...you would have to apologize to "Rush" within 48 hours for that.

Yes it does. Now that you have deflected, I'll ask the question again:

I like what Tom Ridge said this weekend, and also what Colin Powell said, but then neither are elected Republicans, and everyone knows they were RHINO's.

It's not just three, Goatman.

OK, allow me to rephrase

Why do you think that person would do what only (insert your favorite number here) others have done, boyd?

But, as long as we are on the wire of things that piss you off, Goatman:

Was McCain tortured?

A few years ago everyone agreed that McCain was tortured in his Vietnamese prison, but now you parse.

Why?

It's not just three, Goatman.

How many apologists has Rush had? I know of only three.

Why do you think that person would do what only (insert your favorite number here) others have done, boyd?

Further deflections from boyd means only one thing:

"I am an idiot talking out of my ass"

THanks, for the admission, boyd (as if we needed it)

You know of only three, and McCain "claimed" he was tortured. You seem to only know of what you are forced to know if it disagrees with your sensitive stomach.

Well, boyd, we've been over that many times in the last two nights. If you didn't get it then, you certainly won't get it on the third night. Honestly, how can one person be so dense?

But since I am charitable, I'll answer it for one one time tonight. Last time though -- if you don't get it, get someone else on the DR or your mommy to explain it

I don't know if McCain was tortured. I wasn't there. He was. Ask him or google his position on it.

Since you phrase it that way, you are definitely a fourth.

Well, since I last voluntarily listened to Rush ~15 years ago, it is unlikely I would be apologizing to him for anything. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

I never trust anybody who has to "reinvent" himself.

That sounds too much like a sales pitch, hoping that time has erased the memory of the old Newt.

Newt is a smart politician and it's probably true that time has blurred the memory of his Contract On America. For the moment. However, time can't blur the memory of the internet and every dumb thing he's ever said and done, drunk or sober, will come back to haunt him till his dying day.

With that in mind, I wholeheartedly endorse Newt Gingrich for 2012.

Good luck, DCS. You are climbing up a steep hill to the future. Goatman didn't used to be an apologist for torture, but then that could be said for many.

Good night, and GO NEWT!

Goatman didn't used to be an apologist for torture, but then that could be said for many.

Translation:

"I will falsely and childishly assign a position like I always do, then run away and pretend that I won't see the rebuttal. In actuality, I will be lurking and will read it, but no one on the DR will ever know."

Bye, boyd. I hope you grow up before you come back, but I know the chances of that are pretty fucking slim. I wish rcade had an adult swim at night so that people like you would be forced to sit on the sidelines lurking (just like you are doing right now)

Goatman - how did we let this happen - allow the Dems to paint Rush the face of our party? As I typed it out the sentence, I realized we did it to ourselves, we rolled out Steele and Jindal.

Goatman - how did we let this happen - allow the Dems to paint Rush the face of our party?

Well, first of all, though I consider myself right of center, I don't consider myself a republican. I never have.

But as far as the dems propping Rush as the imaginary head of the GOP, all I can say is that their propoganda machine is better and they are better liars than the republicans. They admitted they spearheaded that campaign, and it worked for them. I mean, you still have idiots like boyd and a few others here gulping that batch of kool-aid down, even after the democrats' admission.

goatman - you an independent?

BetelG: if the Republicans are a regional party and the Dems are national party, why is the leader of the "Big Tent" - Senator Reid - in a tough reelection fight? Cuz the beltway talking heads do not represent the true feeling of the electorate ....

goatman - you an independent?

In Texas you aren't required to register politically. I vote the person, not party.

Ironically, though I tend to lean right on some issues, there are enough that I lean left on that I have voted for far more democrats than republicans in my life. If I sit back and look at my voting record, it seems the higher the office, the more likely I am going to vote republican. IOW, school board and local -- almost always democrat. State - about 50/50. Congressmen, even more likely to go to the right. President -- voted democrat twice since 1976 (my first election)

Ridge is correct. Rush and other conservatives need to tone down their rhetoric and be less divisive. Repbulicans must be more inclusive of others, more respectful of the other side's position. The party "needs to broaden its base," as Colin Powell says. Republicans need a candidate that offers a kinder and more inclusive tone....someone like John McCain.

Ooops, wait a minute...been there. Didn't work. Ridge and Powell got the candidate they are still shilling for, yet Powell goes and votes for Obama....and still calls himself a Republican?

What I would like to know is: What is it about the Repbulican party that keeps Powell and Ridge in the party? Why do they stay, when everything they're calling for is found in the Democratic party? What is it about the Repbulican party that keeps a man like Powell from crossing the aisle? Can anyone name one Republican principle that Powell has championed, suggesting he's a loyal to his party?

Colin Powell and Ridge sound more like Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" But do they really want this for Republicans?

My guess? I think he and Ridge are posers. Powell himself is probabaly a plant whose purpose it is to undermine any conservative that might gain a hearing...a foothold with Regan Democrats, or Democrats in general. In a word, Powell is truly and Uncle Tom for the Democratic Party. And Ridge is a spineless politician that has bought the "inclusive" mantra of Uncle Toms like Powell.

Limbaugh divisive? Naaawww. Can't be.

People like Tom Ridge need to become the face of
the GOP if they hope to bounce back.

pretty funny
as rush said today..it wasnt that long ago that ridge was trying to get on the air with rush.......

and why didnt he run against the ARCH CONSERVATIVE guy in penn if that sort is so bad for the country and the party?

and also FROM RUSH.......where does both ridge and powel stand on issues...they are never asked for those stands from the media who LOVES REPUBS who bash repubs.......

why is the leader of the "Big Tent" - Senator Reid - in a tough reelection fight?

Can I guess?

Because Nevada is a blue state?

I guess tom and the old general are the new leaders and spokesmen.

Herm, you are funny. Do you do this just to be outlandish, or do you really equate Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Limbaugh to Hitler?

You occasionally make a good point. Then, you hyperbolize and lose all credibility.

Somo, I take it YOU don't. Oh, there were some differences in styles. Rush is noisier. Ronnie more senile. Bush far more stupid. Nixon surely came close as an embodiment of pure evil. Sometimes you must draw a caricature in order to make a political cartoon that approaches truth. A self-labeled a-hole took issue with me for a year when I suggested Bush was as bad as Hitler. But if sheer numbers aren't everything, Bush surely was. herm

i occasionally draw caricatures - but those are always deserved because the road to hell is truly paved with Democrats. (i'm only drawing a caricature, of course).
