GOP to Michael Steele: Quiet About Rush Limbaugh or You're F

Post by dbackjon »

Apology to Rush Limbaugh aside, new Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is coming under fire from his own GOP troops to shut up and focus on his job of organizing the party and raising money, not fighting with his own political kind. Several Republican advisers to Congress and the previous Bush administration told Whispers that they are worried that the war of words is fracturing the party when it should be healing the division between conservatives and moderates in the wake of the 2008 election.

"What is amazing is that Steele was elected because of his communications skills, and it is those skills that are damaging the Republican Party. Before people begin to completely judge him as worthless, Steele needs to focus and knuckle down on building a strong foundation at RNC so we can begin rebuilding our majority," says a top GOP strategist who has worked for House and Senate Republican leaders. "If his implosion continues, RNC members are likely to call a special session to dump him for an effective chairman. There is not much patience for failure."

Others want Steele to re-evaluate his role in the party. Of concern: For no reason, he is dividing the GOP between conservatives who like Limbaugh and moderates who don't and jeopardizing future fundraising efforts, his key responsibility. "The general sentiment of the conference is that Steele needs to step back and get a handle on his role in the party," says an influential congressional aide. Namely, advisers want him to stay out of the media and focus instead on hiring his staff and revamping the RNC. "He needs to hire staff for the RNC, get the operations up and running, start raising money, and understand that his role is to win elections," says a senior party adviser. Officials are concerned that Steele either doesn't understand his responsibilities or has an inflated vision of his role. "At this point, it is as if he has a fundamental misunderstanding of the job description. An RNC chairman who attacks Republicans and insults conservative icons is about as counterproductive as any Democrat could hope for," says the adviser.

The apology I want is from all the Conks over the years that have derided my claims that Rush spoke for the party.

It is clear that Rush IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Whatever Rush says, is the official party position.

On the flip side, Rush is popular as hell as well.


They both may be popular, but that doesn't make them any less of a pair of giant flaming douchebags

Probably because his audience is so minuscule, the Dems don't even know he exists.

More clever?

I call Bullsh!t. Olbermann is a ranter who uses props/schtick to make his rant entertaining. Limbaugh does it with unscripted speech alone. No comparison.

Yeah, give us a few pages, extra commentary; don't forget the Bangladeshi UN troops and black helicopters.
:lol:

Steele groveling and kowtowing before Rush speaks encyclopedic volumes about the Republican Party.

Right. I couldn't tell you if Rush speaks for the Republican Party. The ONLY words I've EVER read that he allegedly spoke have been posted by liberals.

He's not a representative of MY republican party.

I call Bullsh!t. Olbermann is a ranter who uses props/schtick to make his rant entertaining. Limbaugh does it with unscripted speech alone. No comparison.

I call double bullshit, T.

Much more clever. Including props and shtick is clever! And, he writes his own copy for that show!

Limbaugh repeats the same shit for a week........not to mention he is NOT on television.

Intelligent people dig Olbermann. Wife beaters, aging rural housewives, retired military cocks and angry fvcks on disability listen to Rush.
