Look every Congressmen has consultants and advisors. Taking on Rush Limbaugh and appearing to be in bed with or selling out to the enemy will not endear you to your constitutents if you plan to run for re-election in a conservative district. Quite simply Mr. Gingrey learned you don’t screw around with a anybody who has 20m listeners and is the voice of conservatism in this age of Obama.
Republicans in office respond more to the MSM pressure than to Rush pressure.
For good reason.
The MSM have more political power than Rush, unfortunately.
And this is what needs to change.
