GOP stages a "feud" with Limbaugh

[Enrique]

Obama's brilliant move to link the GOP to Rush "want Obama to fail" has them worried. People will realize that's what the GOP wants as well.

So now they and Rush are performing a little skit for us where they don't like each other:

Rep. Tom Price, who heads the conservative Republican Study Committee, did not take kindly to this assessment in an interview with Politico Tuesday.

“I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach,” Price said. “I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party. You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of that thing. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders, they’re not in that position of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.

Asked to respond to Price, Limbaugh, in an email to Politico, wrote: “I don't know Tom Price. I'm sure he is doing his best but it does not appear to be good enough. He may not have noticed that the number of Republican colleagues he has in the House has dwindled. And they will dwindle more if he and his friends don't show more leadership and effectiveness in battling the most left-wing agenda in modern history. And they won't continue to lose because of me, but because of their relationship with the grassroots, which is hurting. Conservatives want leadership from those who claim to represent them. And we'll know it when we see it.”

3. the best the republicans can do is this kabuki theater?

They have fallen low since 1994.

4. The dems should demand a congressional condemnation like the repubs did

when MoveOn.org said "General Betray-us." Should make a big spectacle of the ordeal calling the statement treasonous and they should feign outrage.

5. Now we know what the GOP is bringing to the party.

the entertainment.

7. Rush is wrong.

Republicans "WILL" lose if they keep listening to him, and many of them know that. What Obama did was brilliant. He is trying to play the talking idiots against those in congress, and I think it will work. It's the only way to diminish Rush, and it will tick him off big time. His mouth is his problem, and he can't keep it shut. I think it is going to be very interesting in the days to come, and I think old blowhard Rush is going to be on the dirty end of the stick for a change. He may keep the real diehards that listen to him, but I think any republican with and ounce of sense is going to see the light and realize that Rush is not trying to help the country or the people in the country, but simply trying to keep his sick view of how republicans need to act in play. The majority of people in this country want change, and Rush is afraid of that change because if it happens, he goes down!

8. This dispute may have some legs. For the past 2 days, our local hate-wing radio's morning program

has been begging for callers to call-in and spew their rhetoric.

Only a couple of callers during todays 2 hour program. I think the gig is up and the public has tired of listening to the hate and veilded racism.

Hey...I can 'hope' can't I?

9. Two drunken attention whores bitchslapping each other at the corner

of Sad and Irrelevant at three in the morning. Surely there is a song in it for Ted Nugent.

10. Limbaugh is full of shit.

Republicans were not defeated because they didn't fight the Democrats. They had their asses kicked because their leadership pushed an agenda (some call it "conservative") that wrecked the economy.

And now, the Republicans represent a large MINORITY. They cannot hold power by serving the interests of this minority. This has been tried by the Criminal Bush Administration and has failed.
