Plouffe: Limbaugh, Beck and Palin are a problem for GOP
President Barack Obama's political adviser, David Plouffe, on Sunday called Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin the leaders of the Republican party and also a "problem" for the GOP in this fall's elections and beyond.
Plouffe emphasized the "intolerance" and "extremism" of the tea party and right wing of Republican party as both a short-term and long-term electoral problem for the moderate GOP, citing their attacks even on conservative senators such as Tom Coburn of Oklahoma as an example of how narrowly they have tailored their messaging and base.
"Right now and this is a problem for them I do think Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, they are the leaders of the party," Plouffe said on "NBC's "Meet the Press." "There is an intolerance in that party and an extremism, that I think is where the real energy is, and so I think you'll see in '11 and '12 with that presidential primary, those are going to be the people who come out to vote."
Tea party-backed candidates from Sharron Angle in Nevada, Rand Paul in Kentucky and, most recently, Joe Miller in Alaska have enjoyed high levels of succes in primary battles, but Plouffe and the Democrats are banking on the hope that these candidates will alienate Independents and more moderate Republicans.
With Limbaugh, Beck and Palin emerging as the leaders of the GOP, and edging out more mainstream Republicans, Plouffe said Democrats could make gains in specific races across the country.
"That's going to be a problem [for them]," Plouffe said.
Awesome! LOL
Plouffe n: The sound made when one ignites a particularly gaseous emission that emanates from one's sphincter.
Well, they actually ARE a problem for the GOP of the Dems imagination: “Yes, sir, Mr. Democrat sir, BTW I think you may have overlooked an opportunity for a little more tyranny over HERE, sir!” You know, the normal Republicans that infest Washington.
Haven't these boobs tried this tact before? Didn't it blow up in their ignorant faces?
Guess they never learn. :)
With a namne like Plouffe it has to be Dem
“Plouffe: Limbaugh, Beck and Palin are a problem for GOP”

Translation:
Limbaugh, Beck and Palin are a FREAKIN’ BIG PROBLEM FOR THE RATS!!
They always tell us who they fear!
Yeah, I always listen to Democrats on how Republicans should act to win the election, especially one who is advising the White House on strategy to defeat Republicans.
LOL! is right.

You just know there are some abject idiots in the Republican Leadership like Mitch McConnell who are seriously considering the warning put forth by Plouffe!
I wish McConnell and some of the other fossils would just freakin’ retire already!
I’ll bet Mitch is already thinking of how he can be a big man and reach “across the aisle” after the GOP kick the shi* out of the Dems in November!
Hey Mitch...You didn’t win crap...THE TEA PARTY DID THE HEAVY LIFTING!
Spoken like a true Plouffe.
I thought those three were a large part of the reason so mane real Americans are involved this year. But now that I know Plouffe thinks they’re hurting us, I’ll take her advice. I know she’s as interested in helping conservatives as she is in helping our country.
I think Plouffe is a “him.”
I think you’re right. My apologies to Plouffe and to his boyfriend.
Without Limbaugh, there would be no GOP, or it would be a shadow of the the pathetic organization it is now.
Actually, this is "chilling" to see the evil Democrats calling common sense extreme and intolerant. Democrats are truly being guided by Satan, IMO.
they are America’s Hope
The GOP IS the problem; those whacky wimps who tremble at the thought of crossing the MSM and think the left is willing to compromise. The same guys who played into the hands of the DNC and the MSM and gave us Obama.
Has Pelosi licensed her likeness for blow-up love dolls?
The Left Is Terrified!!
“Plouffe”
The sound a proper lady makes when she farts.
Hahaha...
If this is the Dims campaign strategy for this year, they are in deeper trouble than anyone could have imagined.
I watched this this morning and when the “who runs the republican party” question was asked I pretty much predicted top myself what the answer would be and I was pretty much right.
