Rush Limbaugh is addressing the Michael Steele comments now

EIB ^ | 03/02/2009 | Rush Limbaugh

Rush is addressing the comments directly.

[TCats]

Uh. Where in the Hell do you get that. LOL

I make my living in the Markets and, for the most part, have confidence that they arrive at the correct solutions given time.

Occasionally though, they are usurped and distortions are introduced. These times present both opportunities and costs.

[VictoryGal]

> If Rush were so inclined he could announce on his program that he’s forming a new political party and immediately have 20 million loyal members literally tearing open their wallets to contribute

YES PLEASE!!!!

I am soooo tired of leaders without a clue or a backbone.

[Girlene]

No, it's you and your ilk who have swallowed the bait.
The Obama operatives love folks like you.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Did you misunderstand my post?

[fish hawk]

Evidently NOT the same one you will be in. You will be in the RINO closet and I will be in the Conservative one. You will be in the “why can't we just get along” and “we must reach out across the aisle” closet and believe me it will be full but not so in the future.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Please, pal. My comment during his speech was a wisecrack about his appearance. It had nothing to do with the substance of it, which I loved.

Steele screwed up by responding to a stupid question, and Rush then responded to Steele. All of it very publicly. IMO, Steele is at fault here, but it’s frustrating to see Rush (who represents the conservative base) and Steele go at it because we need to be unified. That’s all I’m saying.

Think before you message, pal.

"All the people talking about abandoning the republican party and voting third party or starting a new one are total idiots."

I'm not talking about going third party. You don't see the Whig party around any more do you?? Kill off the RINO's and the RNC and replace it with a conservative party. Yes it would hurt initially, but would be well worth it in the end.

[Cedric]

Perhaps, please explain it to me.

[fish hawk]

Do your party a big favor and try thinking “conservative” and not “republican”. Conservative is a way of life and philosophy where as republican is a political movement that checks the polls to see what people are thinking and for sure not to offend anyone.

[VanDeKoik]

Had to be said.

[Williams]

I’m sorry but before you attribute too much of a backbone to Rush, let me know which candidate he supported or even recommended for the GOP nomination. Cause I sure missed it.

Just MHO but people here and generally do not understand what the democrats are doing by singling out Limbaugh. I like Rush I loved his speech but he isn’t the leader of the republican party and I don’t think he wants to be.

I'm going on a hunch that you supported John McCain in the primaries, didn't you?

RINO's like you are not invited into the new party. You would rather keep the republican party who supports amnesty, and global warming initiatives and the McCain/Grahamnesty/Specter/Snowe-esque ludicrous reach-across-the-aisle BS.

If the republican party cannot or will not represent the will of its CONSERVATIVE base, then it is time to start over.

Otherwise, to stay in the same system, with those in republican leadership continuing to roll-out RINO candidates for us all to support is insane.

[Cedric]

The GOP is the current repository of elected conservatives in the US.

The extent to which you undermine the former is the extent to which you damage the latter.

[reagan_fanatic]

And Rahm Emanuel gets EXACTLY what he wanted. Rahm Emanuel could not have scripted this any better. Rush fullfilled Emanuel & Obama’s wishes.

Oh, please. It's way past time to shake the sh*t from the tree and start working to make the Republican Party a party more in tune with Conservatism, which, when practiced, WINS ELECTIONS. Having Steele and people like him lead the party only insures we'll keep losing to the democrats.

I fully support what Rush did. Steele and the rest of the Republican Party country club hacks needed a good public ass-kicking, and that's just what they got.

[kevao]

And they got it in 2006 and again in 2008, but they just never seem to learn, do they?

[beandog]

Once again, I’m not your “pal”, your “little buddy” or any other cute little name you might come up with.

As far as your comment during his speech being a wisecrack, bull hockey. Maybe you’re the one who should think before they message, although I’m sure that’d be a stretch for you.

[tsmith130]

This is almost the entire segment. Watch for two things...1)at about the 2:20s mark the host likens the RNC convention to Nazi Germany... Steele nods 'yes' in agreement with him....and 2)at about the 6:30s mark Steele agreeing with the host that Rush's comments were 'incendiary and ugly'... He does make some good points but they are overshadowed by his other bonehead comments that should NOT have been made.

I have no idea what I'm responding to. Here, how about this? I'll just explain what I thought of the whole Rush piece on Steele today.

I loved Rush's take on Steele and the RNC. It is time we stand up to Obama and stand FOR something. Obama is failing America. Rush did not throw Steele under the bus, he gave him a good talking to and gave him the what-for about his comments and others who don't have the backbone to do what's needed.

Right after that, he pretty much explained this was not a fight between he and Steele, but their approach. The Conservatives are ready to roll. He's inviting Steele to get on board. He's inviting the RNC to get on board. Show the passion. Obama IS the target. What other target is there?

You would rather keep the republican party who supports amnesty, and global warming initiatives and the McCain/Grahamnesty/Specter/Snowe-esque ludicrous reach-across-the-aisle BS. I don't support any of the things you say I do. You're either an ignorant moron or a troll, either way not worth talking to

“Mr. Steele, did you get the message?”

He got mine...I called his office and also sent an email asking them to remove me from their rolls. I hated to do it..but if we don’t have this battle now..it will be had during crunch time(2010..2012) when we need to WIN!

CALL THEM FOLKS!! Perhaps Steele will resign or at least apologize and get his stupid act together.
