10 Things You Didn't Know About Michael Steele
I think that Michael Steele will step in to fill the RNC/Republican void. Rush can relax.
Because once Republicans became the majority, they went from being conservative to Democrat-lite, and conservative Americans refused to follow.
Go Rush!
Republicans have long ago compromised their conservatism (if it ever existed in the first place). It is breathtaking to see them ALL stand up and say NO to the sham "stimulus bill".
A greater role than he wants will be thrust
upon Rush. He will be up to it. BHO, another
one-term-blunder.
| When the President told a group of Republicans last week, "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," it was taken as a sign of his concern at the radio host's influence.
Every once in a while, Obama reveals himself to be one of those people who does not associate with, or really even know, any Republicans — let alone conservatives. Everywhere he goes, every party or event he attends, everyone there is solidly liberal. Republicans are, to him, cartoon figures. They are Bible-thumping ignoramuses who oppose science. They desperately cling to guns and religion so as to avoid the Real World™. Every so often he blurts out one of these things... the same things you'll hear yourself around the water cooler when a liberal assumes that everyone around him is also a liberal. One of the things cartoon Republicans do is listen to Rush Limbaugh and allow him to dictate their thinking. Liberals think "ditto-head" means someone whose head is precisely in alignment with Limbaugh's, and who does not allow conflicting views to enter. When Obama told the GOP Congressional leadership that they couldn't just listen to Limbaugh, he really believed that that's what they do. To Obama, even high-ranking GOP Congressmen and Senators are cartoon Republicans who take their marching orders from Rush Limbaugh. We should be so lucky. |
"Right now they are cornered. Obama holds all the cards. They've got a pair of twos, and that's about it," says Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
Political analysts are asking whetherMr. Limbaugh's brand of uncompromising conservatism is the starting point for a Republican comeback, or a remnant of a movement that's past its prime.
"If Limbaugh had the answer to the Republicans' problems, they would have been a large majority a long time ago. He has been around forever, and they've lost ground," Mr. Sabato said.
I'll admit it: I have an instinctive aversion to men who, like Larry Sabato, have hairstyles that appear to be
a) a very large toupée, or
b) Donald Trump's or Governor Rod Blagoyavich's.
That said, the ubiquitous crystal ball reader Sabato has been an accurate predictor of many of the past several national elections. It's a shame he doesn't turn his talent to helping the nation return to Constitutional government rather than grandstanding and shamanism. I guess it goes with the hairstyle.
For the amusement of everyone weary of his ubiquitous presence, here is a blog entitled Not Larry Sabato.
When does Rush get Michael Steele?
This week, if Steele has any smarts! Steele had better be sending emails to Snerdley, starting yesterday.
And then Rush added after the ultimate leader comment,"And it is Sarah Palin, hint hint"
RL should go public and let everyone invest in him. Every time congress or BO starts banging him around, his stock goes up. It could be the best recovery plan out there.
Anyway, the point is, when death is six blocks over and one block down, he wasn't scared of death. When it's tapping him on the shoulder, that's one big SOB. Same with the Republicans. They didn't find religion until they were in danger of becoming extinct.
BTW, he made it. I have no idea if he changed his long-term outlook or not.
Luckily Rush was there to fill the gap created when Republicans got stuck with a RINO as a presidential candidate. Last Spring we were not able to select our own presidential candidate because Dems crossed over and voted in the Republican Primary. McCain was the choice of the Dems NOT the Republicans. We got stuck with RINO McCain instead of a real solid Republican. The Dems thought that would finish us off - But NOoooooooo - Rush filled that leadership void. God bless him !!!!!
btt
Rush was challenging the President; bringin' it.
Of course, you have to remember that Mister Obama drew first blood. He never should have even acknowledged Rush's existence.
So much for his being as smart as some claim.
I don't believe that was a sign of any such thing.
