I don’t think Rush is necessarily on the wrong side of this; I think he is just trying to avoid handing the Democrats an occasion to talk about a divided GOP at the Convention and/or stirring up more grassroots anger against the establishment, as if it weren’t bad enough.
But this rules fight is suicide for the GOP-e. You would think they should know better than to tick us off even more than they already have during this bitter primary battle, but I guess they never learn.
This is a rare case when he should present the facts and stand a little aside and let us decide, because either outcome is going to further divide the delegates. It's a no-win situation for both sides of the issue which are unfortunately fighting for control of the party's rules.
I'm watching C-SPAM and listening to Rush at the same time. I'm happy to see the speakers, including that of the RNC Chair really taking it to Obama, no holds barred. Don't worry, folks, no one is being "Mr. Nice Guy".
I also see a number of delegates sitting grimly in their chairs, arms folded, not clapping one bit during any speech on the podium.
Draw your own conclusions.
Maybe Mr. Peanut, Jimmah Cahtah, should be asked to come in and mediate.....LOL
