The GOP has a problem with race.
Yes, yes, I know, anyone listening to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or G. Gordon Liddy or Newt Gingrich … well, you know … realize the GOP and conservatives have a race problem. The whole Sotomayor drama has been a perfect demonstration of how conservatives try to win an [...]

For purposes of this column let me equate the GOP with “conservatives”.  It seems the GOP can’t decide if they really want to split from the moderate Republicans as Limbaugh and others would like and totally embrace conservatism. I’m not talking Reagan conservatism- what is happening now is way beyond what Reagan stood for. Reagan [...]

We are losing our two party voice in Washington

in Government Affairs

We have the Democrats and the Republicans but my premise is that to have two parties you need to have strong support for two parties. Otherwise we could say we are a three party system and give the greens or libertarians credibility but their numbers are too insignificant. At the current rate we are heading [...]

Have you ever been puzzled by a situation, only to have an answer suddenly crystallize in a moment?
I had one of those moments the other day while listening to Rush Limbaugh. Yes, sports fans, I listen to the rotund one in order to see what the dittoheads are all worked up about. On this particular [...]

“Conservative” Just Doesn’t Tell It Anymore

Joel blogs at Pax Nortona and is EmperorNorton on Twitter.
The current political climate, especially on the Right, necessitates a restructuring of our descriptive language. I feel guilty, for example, lumping Michael Steele and Arnold Schwartzeneggar with Rush Limbaugh. In the old Republican Party — that which existed before Reagan — we had Rockefeller Republicans (socially [...]

Why the conservative movement is getting old … literally

Several years ago, when I worked for the Christian Science Monitor, we had a meeting with the paper’s main publishing team about the future of the publication. In a rather solemn tone, they told us was that the average age of a print subscriber was 65. Meanwhile, the average age of readers visiting the website [...]

I’ve long been wanting to write about this sore in America’s eye. Rush Limbaugh. I have never listened to one of his programs and people will criticize me for writing about him but I don’t need to subject myself to out and out pandering for money to know a fool when I read about one.Today [...]

Need Rush as Head of Repubs Again

by @rblinne on April 15, 2009 · 4 comments

in #tcot, Gun Control, Politics, Taxes

Early this year, Rush Limbaugh was anointed as “head” of the Republican party due to the total lack of political leadership. Many Republicans cried foul when this was done.
