"President Obama told the Republican lawmakers that "you can't just
listen to
Rush Limbaugh and get things done.""
To paraphrase Mark Twain: Never pick a fight with someone who has 20 million
listeners


He's not relevant. His 'base' are not swing voters. They'll vote
Republican no matter what.

The Obama comment was aimed at the moderates.
You may be able to say that they will *NOT* vote Liberal, but as we saw
with Ross Perot "At one point in June, Perot led the polls with 39%
(versus 31% for Bush and 25% for Clinton). " They may vote in other
directions.

There are far more conservatives than Moderates in the Republican
Party...which btw..is no longer considered to be Conservative by its
members.

They are in the midst of an identity crisis. The GOP has to go back to
its conservative grass roots, or lose most of its membership


Lose members to who?

There are other parties out there. Most are Christian based, which I
cannot get behind...but if the GOP doesnt get off the pot...they need to
remember they were originally the Whigs...

Perhaps a revival of the Whig Party?

The future of the GOP is decidely interesting

with the new RNC chairman Michael Steal, it's already interesting.
