FDR had a way of doing things during his early years as President. He and his brain trusters would throw ideas out there, programs would be implemented. When things failed or were found unconstitutional, FDR would simply distract from that by throwing out new ideas, creating new bad-guys and calling for even more programs, often under the cover of fireside chats. Let's see when this starts to sound familiar.
This idea of Rush Limbaugh as the GOP's leader is nonsense that was created by President Obama and his administration. It's a wonderful distraction. Get conservatives caught up in this and there's less focus on the important issues, like the insanity that is Washington at the moment. Obama says it's a good time to buy stocks – Not as long as he keeps opening his mouth. Many of us didn't believe Obama's rhetoric from the beginning, many are wondering if they were caught up in it. Don't get detoured by distractions. Don't fall for it.
The GOP has it's philosophical leaders, and Rush is one of them, but he isn't calling the shots – there's no king of Republicans. He is an extremely popular figure because he reinforces and puts power behind our beliefs as conservatives. We need our elected leaders in the party to do the same, and for too long they haven't.
