rush limbaugh is irrelevant.  that's why democrats are cheering him on as much as possible.  the far right 30% who will vote republican no matter what, who regardless of what they say now backed bush his entire presidency, simply do not understand how irrelevant they are.

i mean thankfully for the us and the rest of the world they made sure john mccain capped off an abysmal campaign by spending the last few weeks coddling their loud and angry insecurities instead of speaking to the centrists that could have put him in the white house.

we saw it in canada with the unelectable reformers splitting from the conservative party and it worked beautifully while it lasted.  seriously, a major characteristic of people that far to the right is an inability to see that a majority wont agree with them.  let them drag republicans to the far right fringe and be unelectable for 8-12 years until they find someone who's political astuteness trumps his ego.  that is not going to be a wuss ass like micheal "im sorry" steele.

democrat stragtegy is solid. by all means all power to limbaugh making republicans an unelectable fringe party...

Karl Rove, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity are one of the numerous low education or poor performer in the pursuit of their education. So I ask why so many underachieving leaders representing the Republican party?

Is it because the educated Republican don't get a voice because the RNC doesn't want to hear anything other than the failed dogma that they been carrying for the last 20 years?

I'm kind of rooting for the Republican party to reform and at least be the healthy contributor from the other side. But they need to stop appealing to the third grader, and grow up within their own party and let some with higher qualification speak.

I can't agree with your more.  The republican party represents the conservative view as much...some metaphor that I can't think of in which one thing does not even relate to something else, like a cat and an orange.

That's a good one!  yeah, yeah.  THe republican party represents the conservative view as much as a cat represents an orange.  I'm so clever.

Republicans See Their Party as Leaderless

Quote:
Who's in charge here?

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republican voters say their party has no clear leader, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Another 17% are undecided.

Just five percent (5%) view either John McCain, the GOP's unsuccessful 2008 presidential candidate, or new party chairman Michael Steele as the party's leader.

Two percent (2%) see conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh in that role, and one percent (1%) name McCain's running mate, Alaska Govenror Sarah Palin. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner are each seen as GOP leader by less than one-half of one percent.

Democrats have no question who's in charge. Two-thirds of the party's voters (66%) see President Barack Obama as their leader. Nobody else reaches even the five percent (5%) level.

Only 10% of Democrats say the party has no clear leader. Four percent (4%) say House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in charge, while two percent (2%) list longtime Massachusetts Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy and one percent name political comedian Jon Stewart. Sixteen percent (16%) of Democratic voters are not sure.

Democrats and unaffiliated voters agree on the leaderless GOP. Eighty-six percent (86%) of Democrats say the Republicans have no clear leader or that they're not sure who's in charge. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of unaffiliated voters agree.

Democrats are more likely to see Rush Limbaugh as the GOP leader: Seven percent (7%) of those in Obama's party hold that view.

Republicans and unaffiliated voters are not as sure that Obama is the Democratic Party leader. Just 41% of unaffiliated voters see Obama as party chief, along with 35% of Republicans.

Among unaffiliated voters, 24% say there is no clear leader of the Democratic Party, 21% are not sure, and 10% see Pelosi as the real leader of the party.

Among Republicans, a plurality (37%) say there is no clear Democratic Party leader. Sixteen percent (16%) of the GOP faithful are not sure who leads the Democrats, and nine percent (9%) say Pelosi is the boss.

Last week, Rasmussen Reports found that just 11% of Republicans agreed with the statement "Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party. He says jump, and they say how high." This was a comment made by Brad Woodhouse, president of an advocacy group running national television ads linking Limbaugh to the Republican Party. His comment came at the same time that top White House officials were saying Limbaugh is the leader of the GOP.

Some pundits, however, wondered if the harsh nature of the quote might have diminished the apparent support for Limbaugh as party leader. In the current survey, we simply asked if Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party. The different wording had virtually no impact on the GOP responses: Only 10% said yes.

However, the different wording had a significant impact on Democrats who were evenly divided over the question when it included the second sentence, "He says jump, and they say how high." When asked straight out if Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party, only 21% said yes and 60% said no. Among unaffiliated voters, just nine percent (9%) see Limbaugh as the GOP leader and 77% do not.

This telephone survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports March 6-7, 2009. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/-3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence (see methodology).

Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

  This is from the Chris Matthews Show! And apparently Barack Obama doesn't have a spokesperson like Rush Limbaugh for the Republican party. And according to Chris this is a problem? Isn't Barack on his weekly tv address?

Quote:
     MATTHEWS: You know who can talk? You know who can talk? Limbaugh. You don’t have to like the big guy, but you know what he does? He defends capitalism. What he says is, “You, Mr. President, are out there raising taxes and getting rid of deductability and itemization and putting more injury on those of us who are already injured. You’re hurting the people who are driving the truck.”

    PAGE: Right, and nobody believes that but dittoheads. The fact is, Bush has already done the same darn thing. That argument isn’t working right now. People know that government is in a spend mode, and by the way, you know we’ve been in….

    MATTHEWS: Limbaugh’s numbers are doubled. Barack Obama’s numbers are not doubled.

    PAGE: That’s his job, though, look at the numbers. About 18% of the public agrees with Limbaugh. You don’t win elections that way, you get radio ratings. But ever since Reagan, we’ve been on a trend of taxing lower income people and giving breaks to the upper income. Obama has slightly reversed that now, and I don’t see a revolution in the streets.

ah, would there really be anything more endearing than to be laughed at by lying crooked pigs like w bush and nixon?  

love the irony of one of the few subsequent republicans perhaps even more stupid than dan quayle dropping the punchline too.

like being clowned by chris brown for being a coward wife beater.  phenomenal illustration (in both senses) of right wing denial...

When I read that Steele was elected, I had the thought that the RNC had done the same thing the Illinois Republicans did when the nominee the had running against Obama for senate imploded-- They picked Alan Keyes who had none of the characteristics of a successful politician, but he was Black.

They Obama-Keyes race actually established the "fruitcake minimum" for American political scientists, proving conclusively that 26% of the voters will vote for any major-party nominee, no matter how stupid, socially inept, or dishonest.

That's actually an improvement, because it was long believed that the number was 40%.

Ironically, I think Steele is actually a competent politician and could probably reorganize the Republican Party in a few years if the party would follow him. Fortunately, they won't.

My oh my but aren't we bitter and nasty?   Thought that was the land of the terrible Right Wing hordes?

Might be good idea to lighten up a bit and learn how to laugh at both sides when there's something truly funny going on?  And there's plenty of funny in the White House and Congress to laugh at these days!

Real has no sense of humor. Only an abnormal interest in another country's politics.

[3deroticer]

Given that we spend more on military than any other country combine, that taking interest in our political system is warranted, and not so absurd.

Canadians is on our border, we could easily nuke them and loot their ATI video card factory, and steal their maple syrup for your pancakes!
