I asked a co-worker of mine, a Republican, about this…. Without hesitation he said that Limbaugh is the Republican leader and has been pretty much since Reagan left office. He said when Reagan left office there was a void in leadership and Limbaugh filled that void. My friend does not think Rush will run for office.

Thinking about his comments made me realize that Limbaugh has been the one Republican figure with a national audience that has consistently been around and someone who Republicans look to as a gauge of what it means to be a Republican.

Rush Limbaugh February 13, 2009:

"I'll say it again. Not only do I want Obama to fail, I want this package to fail. I want this to blow up in their face.

I hope the stimulus bill fails. I hope it does exactly what we know it will do, blow everything to smithereens and not do one thing that has been promised. Apparently, experience is the greatest teacher, and when these poor people who think Barack Obama means a new house, a new car, a new job, when they find out that's not what Barack Obama means, maybe then they'll see. So I hope that happens.

I hope Obama fails. Now the bill has passed the House. I hope when they implement it, that it fails. If I hope it fails beforehand, I better hope it fails afterwards to be consistent, right?"

Wow, Now that will show those poor slobs who was right!!. That will teach them a lesson!

Is this the same guy who said “Never let a good crisis go to waste?”

I would say that what Sarah did was indeed a “base hardener” and indeed it was the “base” (or kook) portion that hardened. That's why Rush admired Sarah so- since Rush appeals to base (and kooky) instincts…. And it was this “base” which also shouted threats at Obama.

The reasonable and thinking Republicans were spurned when they said something that didn't appeal to the kooks of the party.
