House Republican Leadership Refuse To Say If Rush Limbaugh Is The Leader Of Their Party
House Republican Leadership Refuse To Say If Rush Limbaugh Is The Leader Of Their Party
Following a closed door caucus meeting this morning, the House Republican leadership — Minority Leader John Boehner (OH), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (VA), and Caucus Chairman Mike Pence (IN) — held a press availability. Asked multiple times by a reporter whether or not the leadership agreed with the White House’s assessment that Rush Limbaugh has become the de facto leader of the Republican party, all three refused to address the question directly. Instead, Boehner and Cantor complained that, in their view, the White House was simply attempting to “distract” everyone from focusing on Obama’s proposed budget:
QUESTION: Mr. Boehner, what’s your response to the White House announcing that Rush Limbaugh has become the leader of the Republican Party, one that’s rooting for Obama to fail…
BOEHNER: The White House has created this big distraction so nobody will pay attention to what they’re doing in their budget. We shouldn’t be distracted. This budget calls for higher taxes and more spending.
QUESTION: How do you see Mr. Limbaugh’s role in the Republican Party?
BOEHNER: This is nothing more than a distraction created by the administration to take people’s attention away from the fact that they’re trying to raise taxes and grow the size of government.
QUESTION: Does Mr. Limbaugh have a role in the Republican Party?
CANTOR: Let me just say this: It is not about Rush Limbaugh. It’s not about Rahm Emanuel. It’s not about individuals right now. This is about real impact on families across this country.
Later in the exchange, when a reporter asked whether or not the leadership sympathized with Limbaugh’s hope that Obama’s policies will fail, Cantor said, “[I]t’s not about hoping that [Obama's policies] fail. No one wants this country or the economy to fail.” Pence, by contrast, tried to talk around the question saying, “Everyone wants America to succeed.”
Pence’s comment about wanting “America to succeed” is revealing because it forms the second half of the argument that Limbaugh makes on his radio show almost daily. As Limbaugh’s argument goes, Obama’s economic policies are misguided and will make the current recession worse. As such, Limbaugh argues, it is reasonable to declare, “I hope Obama fails” in passing his policies, while still hoping that the country as a whole succeeds.
But Pence is no stranger to the first half of Limbaugh’s argument either. Last night on CNN, Pence declared, “You bet, we want [Obama's] policies to fail.” The question is whether or not Pence and the rest of the House leadership would join Limbaugh in refusing to call the prospect of economic growth as a result of Obama’s policies a “good thing for the country.”

Limbaugh is saying (right now) that he wants a one-on-one debate with Obama.

actually cantor, the question WAS ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH.
why can’t they just answer simple questions? to answer a question about a specific topic by saying the specific topic is not the issue is no answer at all, especially if you follow it with rhetoric and fluff that has no substance.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pmRush is the noose that the Republican Party is putting its neck into.
It will solidify their base 28% and drive away their already shaky hold on the moderates.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pmLimbaugh is probably going to try make the case (after Obama ignores him) that Obama is afraid to debate him.

Obama’s piloting the plane now. If his policies fail, we ALL crash. Only an idiot would “hope” that happens.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pmYes, repubes, a draft dodging, pill popping, whore hopping, anal cyst multimillionaire scumbag is now your leader. And he deserves the post like no other.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pmThis is starting to get comical. All these years, progressives and liberals and democrats were derided, judged and basically told we were weak commies, baby killing heretics. Now watching Limbaugh and the repugs go toe to toe is quite a hoot.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pmBOEHNER: The White House has created this big distraction so nobody will pay attention to what they’re doing in their budget.
Actually the White House simply pointed-out that the GOP politicians who began genuflecting to Limbaugh whenever he criticized them were acting like he was their leader, and the recent ass-kissing by Michael Steele confirms it–Rush is the clearly the philosophical leader of the Republicans at the present.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pmIf they Republicans can’t stand up to a pill-popping eastern European wannabe gangsta sleazeball, how can they stand up to terrorists?
March 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pmIf they can just keep the discussion focused on childish jibber-jabber, they might stand a chance of picking up 1 seat in Congress come midterms, and a complete surrender of personal integrity is apparently not too high a price to pay for that one seat.

Of course, you already know the answer to this one. If Rush wasn’t the de facto head of the GOP, they would answer “no, of course not” as easily as they breathe.
But they know that if they say anything about Rush that isn’t groveling, they’re going to have to bend over and grab their ankles for him as a consequence. But they also don’t want to go on record admitting what they know is true.
So their only option was to tap-dance. Unfortunately for them, their non-response just gave further confirmation to what we already know to be true.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:27 pmPannus is a medical term for a hanging flap of tissue. When involving the abdomen, it is called a panniculus and consists of skin, fat, and sometimes contents of the internal abdomen as part of a hernia. A pannus can be the result of loose hanging tissues after pregnancy or weight loss. It can also be the result of obesity. A pannus can come in many different sizes and shapes and can become very large, even hanging down below the knees. The extra tissue of a hanging pannus can make personal hygiene difficult. Skin conditions such as yeast infections under the pannus are common problems.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:27 pmIt’s also what makes pill-popping gazillionaire Rush Limbaugh so goddamn sexy he needs to fly to third-world countries to get his freak on.
Oh yes, and Limbaugh is loving it! He has his 5-year contract and is accountable to no-one. His ditto-heads won’t blame him for helping to drive their Republican party deeper into exile.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:29 pmBoner and Can’ter were more than happy to play along with the distraction that is Rush Limbaugh when they and W were shoving there wretched policies up our arses. Now that we we have a genuine thinking representative of the people in office, all they want to do is attack, obstruct and confuse. Sick phucks.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:29 pm15… hilarious. Just wish I wasn’t eating lunch at the time I read it. Was it ever determined what gender Rush was whoring around with in the Dominican Republic? Boys or girls?

“The image of a black man in the White House angers white racists, who fear nonwhites gaining too much power, said Jack Glaser, associate professor of public policy at the University of California-Berkeley.”
“Scapegoating occurs most often in times of economic distress, according to experts studying hate crimes. From the Holocaust in Europe to abuses against Irish Catholic immigrants in the 1830s in the United States, people are most likely to lash out against others when they feel vulnerable or need to displace their economic frustrations on others, psychologists say.”
March 4th, 2009 at 12:32 pmI really had no idea Limpdick could fit so many testicles in his mouth at once.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:32 pmFlush Limpballs philosophy = repuke speak = hypocrisy, these guys don`t know if their for him or against him, typical republiscum philosphy.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pmYou want America to succeed, but Obama to fail.
Zha-wha-what?
It sounds like Pence is trying to distinguish short-term goals from long-term goals without specifying which are which. Look, if you want Obama to fail, you’re asking for America to destroy itself for the next four years or hope that somehow a Republican can get to a position of power in 2010 or 2012 in order to rescue it. Right now, the latter isn’t going to happen at this rate if you have no one ready to seize the reins of the GOP.
If you want America to succeed, it cannot happen without the government’s help. If the government is to help, it needs all three branches to succeed together. Asking for the executive branch’s policies to fail will lead to the failure of the other two branches, plain and simple.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:37 pm“This is about real impact on families across this country.
You mean the families you and your party voted NOT to help out?
Please, Representative Eric Chancre, explain how your doing nothing (other than saying “no”) impacts and helps those families you pretend to care about.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:37 pmThey answered the question by going around it. Rush Limbaugh is the new Leader of the Republican Party and those Republican Law Makers have no choice but to do as he says. This is how bad the Republican Party has gone. Michael Steele was put in as Chairman as a quick fix for minority votes it failed. Rush has he says 1 million listeners so he was pushed to the front it failed. Remember even John McCain picked bimbo Sarah Palin for Hillary’s 18 million votes again it failed. Until one of the honest Republicans step forward it will be down hill. Boehner has never been a leader he’s a feeder. McConnell is more worried about his wife going to jail for violating the Hatch Act then the Republican Party. Senator Specter is so low in the polls he’ll do anything to keep getting a free ride. Eric Cantor is a closet who knows what and couldn’t lead himself out of a door. Rush Limbaugh will be the Republican candidate for President and even Homer Simpson would beat him in the election.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:39 pmThe remains of the GOP has been tied to this bloated, drug addled bigoted idiot.
The rw evangelicals have jumped ship. Dobson is gone. Falwell is gone. The evangelical wing is now parlayed against this hatemonger. Even Beck will not be able to tie the Goppers together again….
Keep talkin’ RushAddict……the GOP will soon realize his ‘hot air’ will not raise their party back up…..due to 40 years of FAILED policies……that sought to destroy public education, working American’s unions, the US Constitution, and the US Government itself..
My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Question :
My husband has a large lump on his rear end close to his rectum. It is very sore to sit on, and yellowish-greenish thick pus comes out of it. I am not sure what it is, and he is not one to go to the doctor. Could it be a large pimple that is infected? Or something serious like cancer? It’s been there about five months.
L.B.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:43 pmAnswer :
Ma’am, your husband obviously is Rush Limbaugh. Just give him a whole lot of oxycontin, a Vietnam-era draft deferment, several hundred million dollars and a palatial compound in Palm Beach where he can shoot off his fat F’ng mouth in complete safety. Oh yeah, and don’t forget a satchel full of Viagra and a Visa to fly to the Dominican Republic to screw child prostitutes. Do all this and he’ll be fine.
We dont need them to say that he is the leader of THEIR party, we already know that he is, but others will know when before any of the Rushpuppetcan’s speak they start of with “The Most Exalted and Honorable Rush Limbaugh say’s”.
So let’s stop wasting our breath asking questions we already know the answers to. The Rushpuppetcans wants Pres. Obama to fail, because Mr. Limbaugh told them thats what he wants.
Next.

March 4th, 2009 at 12:47 pmWhich is worse. The fool, or the one’s that follow him.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:47 pmThey are afraid of Rush. They are not going to take him on because he will viciously attack them. So, no they will not answer. He is a huge bully, and they let him get away with it. Luckily, the White House does not.

Obama’s piloting the plane now. If his policies fail, we ALL crash. Only an idiot would “hope” that happens.
It is Rush’s parachute, if we were to continue the aviation theme.
A: If America fails, Rush can point the finger at Obama and blame him without pointing the blame at government over the past decade or so. Result: Rush looks good for predicting the failure, Rush wins.
B: If America succeeds, Rush can brag that he was right that America could recover without approving of Obama’s policies. Result: Rush looks good for predicting America’s recovery, Rush wins.
That’s his logic. Take credit for success, spread blame for failure. Rush doesn’t perceive humility, since he sees it as weakness.
You will never hear “I’mn sorry” from Rush.

I think this needs modification. No assumptions here; that’s how many pundits get in trouble with their words. They assume that one exception in the party applies to everyone in the party (i.e. the “Obama-cabinet-full-of-tax-cheats” argument).
If you’re a Republican in a higher office or looking to run for a higher office, then you’re pretty much leashed by Rush.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:23 pmBOEHNER: The White House has created this big distraction so nobody will pay attention to what they’re doing in their budget.
Close, Boner. The White House is doing a brilliant job of keeping Rush stuck to the Republicans and in the news full-time. All the boot licking and crazy reactionary behavior is out there for everyone to see.

He secured $85.6 million.
Seems they arent really doing what Limbaugh wants anyway…
March 4th, 2009 at 1:29 pmOh sure, they voted against the pork, but they took it anyway, even added earmarks against the wishes of EL-Jabba-Bo.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:30 pmThe Repubs have bankrupted this Country both financially and morally. Their solution to the “Obama Problems?” Keep doing what got us here in the first place and use a crazy, non elected entertainer to sell their party plans. It simply shows that the policies of bush/cheney and the neo-cons were self serving and doomed to failure. However, they will never own up and their only plan is to blame Obama. Sorry, Americans see the error of your ways even if you don’t.

These people need to take a long hard look at the latest WSJ/NBC poll:
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/090303_NBC-WSJ_poll.pdf
There is very little good news in that poll for them. Here is a sample:
And how confident are you that Barack Obama has the right set of goals and policies to be president of the United States––extremely confident, quite confident, only somewhat confident, or not at all confident?
Extremely confident…….31
Quite Confident………..23
Somewhat Confident……..26
Not at all Confident……19
Not Sure……………….1
The key to this one is that only 19% are not confident that Obama’s policies are the right policies. That means that a lot of Republicant’s are at least somewhat confident that Obama’s policies are the right policies.
Which party do you think could do a better job of getting the country out of a recession––the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?
Democratic Party…………..48
Republican Party…………..20
Both equally (VOL)………… 8
Neither (VOL) …………….16
Not sure ………………… 8
Only 20% think that the Republicant’s are best prepared to getting us out of the recession. That should give them pause.
And finally when asked about their views of the two parties, here’s what they said:
………..Very/Somewhat Positive……Very/Somewhat Negative
Democrats……….49……………………..31
Republicans……..26……………………..47
The Neutrals for the Democrats was 18 and Republicant’s 24.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:34 pmWell, Jeff Christie Rush Limbaugh DID say that he OWNS the conservative men (any bets on whether saying THAT gave El Bloato a Bohnner?). So, I’d say, by his standards, anyone supporting Rush IS “Rush’s Beyoch.”
Where are the sad trolls to whine that we are being mean to the conservative messiah? To tell us that we LOVE Rush for going on about him — but, they will stop saying that if we just ignore Rush.
Hmmmm…. seems that they DO understand that evil’s best chance to propogate itself and its plans is ‘in the dark’.
Please keep posting on the Jeff Christie Rush Limbaugh rants and insanity.

Besides, if the shoe were on the other foot, they wouldn’t even think about making the distinction.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:52 pmThese gutless republicans in the house and senate know damn well that Limbaugh is the head of their party. Basically he renders each and everyone one of them totally useless. But instead of defending themselves by making a joke out of Limbaugh the entertainer which is all he really is, these hapless republicans are so fearful of this guy that not a one of them will make a definitive statement of Limbaugh’s status in their party. In my mind Limbaugh has replaced the republicans in congress. So, if this is the case, why should any taxpayer money be spent to maintain these jokers in DC? Let the RNC pay to keep them in DC and cut off any taxpayer subsidy they receive to maintain their offices, salary, staff, etc. “ImSorryRush.com”

I get the impression that they’re just lost and the only “authoritative” and overconfident voice they can find is Limbaugh. Plus, Limbaugh doesn’t have to worry about being elected.
March 4th, 2009 at 2:26 pmAdapted from the screenplay of “A Fish Called Wanda”:
[Limbaugh dangles Steele out a window]
Steele: All right, all right, I apologise.
March 4th, 2009 at 3:12 pmLimbaugh: You’re really sorry.
Steele: I’m really really sorry, I apologise unreservedly.
Limbaugh: You take it back.
Steele: I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
Limbaugh: OK.
Why would anyone lend any validity to the absurd idea that Limbaugh is the de facto head of the Republican party? Why would lawmakers–elected officials–say that a radio talk show host–is the leader of their party? Who was the leader of the Democratic Party before Obama was elected president/during the Bush years? Kerry, Edwards? Hilary? Howard Dean? HA. Anyone? Limbaugh has 22million listeners a day–how many hits does this blog get a day? The man is a voice, a strong voice, but has no political, lawmaking, party-leadership experience. His is a radio talk show host. Nothing more. This blog is as left wing as he is right wing.
March 4th, 2009 at 3:31 pmLOL – Their leader is a radio DJ!
March 4th, 2009 at 4:41 pmHoo hoo, Baba booey!
Why would they do this “absurdity” thing with Limbaugh, as in, follow him around like he’s a leader or something? Because these are high-level dysfunctional people who have to follow anyone with the same mental illness as they…haven’t you noticed that he’s not a “talk show host” (what a cutesy spin) but a paid talking head of propaganda? He has much, much less than 22 million people listening to his show…that is a mythical fact (cults like to say their memberships are huge and do all kinds of things to make it look that way so that “fearless leader’s” ego won’t go in rip the minions a new one) and it’s been shown that his rating are way down the bottom of the charts for ages.
March 4th, 2009 at 4:47 pmHe’s not a voice–he’s a parrot of persona, full of vitriolic curses and sound effects. He’s nothing more than what I say he is…and aay has spoken!!
The “author” of the entry at #74 misspelled his or her name leaving out the beginning “s” and putting in an “h”. When spelled correctly it is “stinkstinkstink”.

March 4th, 2009 at 9:50 pmLimbaugh’s a very well paid message force multiplier with a frighteningly large audience – the republicans know this and I’d say all the ring-kissing we’ve been seeing lately proves that yes, he is their leader.
