Rush To Judgment

Republicans better hurry up and get moderate, or their brand will suffer further damage. Right now they're stuck with this clown Rush Limbaugh and the other fringe crazies. Any Republican moderate out there has to be tearing out his or her hair that this is what it's come to.

Really, they just about break free of Dobson, Falwell (who did them a favor by going to his reward), Robertson, that wing. They get rid of Bush, who was not really a friend to the idea of long term conservatism. And now they're stuck with this idiotic Limbaugh, Coulter, that wing of the party.

Today there's this story, that Eric Cantor and Michael Steele are poo-pooing the insane doctrine that they're pulling for Obama to fail. Of course they're getting strung up for it. Because the crazies they're aligned with are the pitchfork brigade, who won't settle for anything less than their own nutty agenda.

Cantor is no liberal and not a moderate. But maybe he can read the handwriting on the wall. The more the Democrats are able to keep the equation this: Republicans = Limbaugh, the worse things will get. (Or the better they will get from my point of view.)

It's funny watching the Republicans show up to kiss Limbaugh's ring. That's giving him big kicks. Do us a favor. Keep kissing it all the way through 2010.
