Thank you kindly.

If, as it appears, Rich did not deserve it, maybe he can use it to kick butt among some of his alleged colleagues.

The prospect of such a huge number of people needing to get a life fills me with sorrow and dread.

Like dandelion seeds blowing up against the Rock of Gibraltar, they deal their feeble blows and fall, lifeless, to the stony ground.

Go Rush go! Rush, Hannity, and Beck are making a whole lot of sense. We need to get people to sign up at Heritage Foundation to get the truth out and raise up some people who can boot these RINO’s out of Washington!

Get ready for an American Reichstag, Rush will be blamed.

Boehner didn’t say anything, neither did McConnell.

It was actually Phil Gingrey, not Tom Price, who made the comments. This story was revised after it was filed.

Phil Gingrey is a rock-ribbed conservative.

I suppose. Somebody will probably burn down a black church and leave behind copies of the Limbaugh Letter.

I don’t care who said it. It was stupid and short-sighted and only serves to remind us all that the republican party needs to be purged or abandoned.

Mark Levin had Rep. Price on his talk show to clear up the error of Politico

Looks like Rush is outing the RINOs in the party. Good!

I believe the big guy struck several nerves.

He got under Hussein’s skin and has the pubbies sending out a light weight in defense. They know better than to engage and sent out a surrogate

Thanks for the update Wolfstar. Politico has carefully studied the psychology of the conservatives on the internet and they know how to decieve them to attack the Republican party.

The liberals are laughing at our political divide.

You're welcome JV. For some time, now, I've suspected this sort of thing has been going on by the way certain highly divisive, usually badly explained or even misleading issues are driven into the conservative "bloodstream."

Mr. Price, you may have more constituents than Mr. Limbaugh (Rush has zero constituents), but you don't have as many listeners. And neither does all of your House committee members, COMBINED.

Representatives like these guys have a body part that describes them. It is called a sphincter.

The media tactic of divide and conquer the Conservative/Republicans has started in 2005 and it is now one of the important important tools used by liberals to keep the Conservative/Republican movement weak and divided.

You wrote: ...iit appears as though you’re trying to string together a bunch of non sequiturs, but it is so grammatically incoherent it doesn't even make any sense... about my comment:

"If you're stupid enough to a) believe headlines and then whine they they're misleading, and b) to think that a misleading headline therefore invalidates a valid complaint, then you're stupid enough to vote for a big-government Liberal Republican. That's okay -- I used to be that stupid, too. Arnold Schwarzenegger taught me a valuable lesson."

Please identify the grammatical incoherence in that paragraph.

That Politico wrote a false and inflammatory headline doesn't change the reality that a fundamental philosophical divide in the GOP has reached the point of Reagan's famous "I didn't leave the Democrat party. It left me." You think that the headline caused the divide; I know the headline is a symptom of the divide.

The MSM manipulated the vast majority if GOPers and conservatives that Hillary was inevitable. IT WAS AN ILLUSION.

Head's up, d2t. The divide is real. On the plus side, Obama's support and popularity, as was Hillary's, is illusion.

FWIW, you "believed" the headline enough to read the story until you confirmed that the headline was amazingly overblown hyperbole with deliberate bias. The difference between us is that I read the headline and thought, "50-50 chance it's factually accurate." But I give it a 100 percent chance of being fundamentally accurate: A lot of the GOP power base thinks Rush is too hard-right and not in touch with ... well, me, and millions of conservative Americans. They are mistaken.
