The Republican Party is going through a rough time right now. Democrats have cleaned up in the last two elections, George Bush 'n Company ruined the party by enacting a lot of their economic principles (tax cuts, tax cuts, and more tax cuts in addition to relaxed regulation) and starting two wars, demographic trends all point toward the Democratic Party, and the Republicans are facing a party with a clear, decisive, and influential leader in Barack Obama. In such tough times it's only natural that some intraparty squabbling would occur.
The most recent spat, however, is between two prominent figures. Michael Steele, the recently-elected head of the Republican National Committee, called out Rush Limbaugh as "incendiary," "ugly," an "entertainer" and not the de facto leader of the Republican Party. In the course of 24 hours, he issued an apology after Limbaugh ripped him a new one on his show. It amazes me how high level elected officials in the Republican Party kiss Limbaugh's ass. He's a drug-addicted radio talk show host who lies and distorts facts on a daily basis. That's it! Yet time and time again an Republican elected official criticizes Limbaugh and within hours reverses course and apologizes. Weak tea folks.

This is more than about Rush. When the liberal talk show host said that CPAC looked like a bunch of Nazis Michael Steele nodded in agreement.
Some said his nodding wasn't in agreement with that statement but still at the very least he was quiet and did not speak out against that outrageous statement.
This is more than about Rush the person. This was about the speech he gave and if you listened to the speech and agree with it then it is not only Rush but YOU, that Micheal Steele has rebuked in the harshest of terms.
Well, if that is the way the "leader" of the GOP feels about me then I say no, no, no, not God Bless the GOP, GOD DAMN the GOP. It isn't the party I thought I knew!
