Rush Job: Inside Dems' Limbaugh plan


www.politico.com
Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House.

The strategy took shape after Democratic strategists Stanley Greenberg and James Carville included Limbaugh’s name in an October poll and learned their longtime tormentor was deeply unpopular with many Americans, especially younger voters. Then the conservative talk-radio host emerged as an unapologetic critic of Barack Obama shortly before his inauguration, when even many Republicans were showering him with praise.

Soon it clicked: Democrats realized they could roll out a new GOP bogeyman for the post-Bush era by turning to an old one in Limbaugh, a polarizing figure since he rose to prominence in the 1990s.

Limbaugh is embracing the line of attack, suggesting a certain symbiosis between him and his political adversaries.

Michael S. Steele

Not Piyush "Bobby" Jindal

That's who you are thinking of. Bobby Jindal is very popular and thought to be a major contender for the 2012 republican nomination. Michael S. Steele is the GOP chairman. He is the actual leader of the Republican party.

Rush Limbaugh is an idiot bigoted talk show host that weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of a Buick.

Rush weighs as much as a Buick?! I thought his binge on prescription meds helped him lose a bunch of weight.


Well I think it did seem to help, if I remember correctly Rush used to weigh about as much as a Peterbuilt but has slimmed down to this lean and mean Buick size.

On topic however I think that as long as the dems make sure that everybody thinks that Rush is the leader of the GOP then people will stay away from the republicans in the next election.

That's a good point. And probably a pretty good strategy. They'll use him against the Repubs. Hell, he's already done enough damage on their behalf.

Damn straight. And the Democrats say the GOP is the party full of hostility and hatred? The Democrats are proving themselves to be the ones gleeful to see the hatefest against the GOP rolling along.

So now that GW Bush is gone, there was a lull because Obama was elected and there was no one left in office to really hate since there's a majority of Democrats. So the Democratic policy starts flowing, starts royally screwing this country all to hell, and then Democrats begin to grow desparate looking for an outlet to shift the attention to. They tried to keep the focus on Sarah Palin and that failed, so now they've got Rush. The guy is a radio talk show host! Some Democrat fool deems Rush the defacto leader of the GOP and now every brainless Democrat jumps all over it and is trying to keep the hatefest rolling right along.

Great example you Democrats are are setting by dissing Rush. You can't just ignore the man and concentrate on fixing America can you? No! You know why? Because your President's plan for fixing America is not working!!! In fact - it's making things WORSE! So now you need a new scapegoat to blame so your sorry a$$e$ can hope to see yourselves back in office to screw things up again in 2012.

There is no way to fix America at this point. We all collectively have screwed up the system so badly that there is no point in saving it. That is why the massive rape of the treasury is going on. The NAU is comming and that is also a part of it. Who is going to give a damn about the federal reserve when we swith over to the Amero? It's like how some people rack up a huge credit card debt just before declairing bankruptcy. They have no intention of paying off that debt so they run up their credit cards first.

OH NO YOU DON'T!

That's NOT what the American people were told, sold and swallowed when the election was going on.

The country and the entire world was told by Obama, his administration and the liberal media that the ONLY HOPE for the United State was to elect into office Barack Hussein Obama! And he had all of these swell ideas that were supposed to bring CHANGE!

Remember "YES WE CAN!"? "Yes we can" what? Fill a cabinet with politicians who, when properly vetted, fail to meet the criteria for trusted public servants? "Yes we can" what? Stick this country with another $2 trillion in debt and STILL sell it to the people that it's for the GOOD of the country when it's so clear that the payouts are going to many of Obama's campaign supporters!?

Where's the CHANGE? I'll show you - The Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at a 12-year low: 6,594.44 today.

Where's the HOPE? I'll show you - It's bailing out AIG for the SECOND time after they've proven twice before that they cannot manage their own business. It's the financial gurus telling America that this downturn in the market is likely to last a lot longer than expected.

And it may all have been unavoidable, but Barack Obama's campaign had America believing that voting him in would prove to be the golden rays of sunshine that would heal this broken land as soon as he took the oath of office. What a big, fat liar he is. All of them.
