Gallup's latest polling reveals the continuing collapse of the Republican party's base vote. The news is so very bad that there will be only one possible response from GOP party leadership and our radio talkers: Ignore it.
--SNIP--
Instead, our congressmen talk to and about Rush Limbaugh like Old Bolsheviks praising Comrade Stalin at their show trials. Rush is right! We see eye to eye with Rush! There is no truth outside Rush!
Rush and Hannity and O’Reilly and Ann Coulter and the others have their place and their role. They spoke for an important section of public opinion, and it is a section our party needs. But it is only a section, and not the whole. The more the party allows them to become our public face, the more embattled and endangered the party becomes.
The relationship between these radio talkers and the larger Republican and conservative world has become parasitic and antagonistic. They flourish and profit to the extent they can polarize and radicalize. The GOP will recover only to the extent that it moderates and reaches out. They benefit from controversies that position them as the leaders and designated speakers for conservative America. But the more visible they become, the more our party is shoved to the margins and rendered unelectable. What is good for Rush is bad for the GOP, and what is good for the GOP is bad for Rush.

To me Rush is Charles De Gaulle without all the french stuff.
What’s good for Rush Limbaugh is best for Americans.
Sad to say, but, fruck fum.
The Barf Alert should be posted alongside the title. Now you made me read 10 lines of this crap..
So sayeth Mr. “axis-of-evil”.
Frum is just another, "Hey, a little bit of cancer won't kill you," scumbag.
Ignore him.
Oh, how I wish one wouldn’t get banned for saying what you want to say, cause I feel the exact same way.
Frum is an Obama Republican I guess
From reminds me of Hitler in his last days: he imagines entire divisions of moderates who do not exist.
Is he on crack? Has any elected official ever praised or mentioned Rush Limbaugh. (Until Obama)
his new site is aimed at one thing, destroying the conservative wing of the GOP.
Seen the comments from Frum’s site about Sarah Palin. The New Majority’s posters hate Palin as much as the Huffington Post.
Great analogy
How do figure that?
“his new site is aimed at one thing, destroying the conservative wing of the GOP.”
That’s been Frum’s style ever since the little carpetbagger oozed his way over the Canadian border.
“The Barf Alert should be posted alongside the title. Now you made me read 10 lines of this crap..”
Consider it “Interpretive Headline Reading 101” (no disclaimer needed). Besides, you’d miss the comments.
Nice pic on homepage btw
I read them... and made some pointed replies to them as well.
