That was a big mistake by Cantor. Instead of answering the question whether he agreed with Rush that this jerk in the wh should fail by saying no one wants him to fail, he should have said that Rush only wants him to fail in taking us away from liberty and free market principles.

We need to start a Rebel Republican movement to drag the GOP our way. Or perhaps its time for the Turd Party? What have we got to lose?

Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Failure


The denizens of RedState are also fuming:

If Steele and the GOP think they can shun Rush Limbaugh Conservatives, they are headed for years, if not decades, in the minority.

I saw [Cantor] on Hannity this week refuse to criticize Obama. He fears Obama.

This is quite depressing esp since Rush had Cantor on the show a few weeks ago. I would say that Cantor is quite vague in his criticism. coward

what’s wrong with our leadership–they can’t even agree that they want this socialist experiment with our country to fail! Which leaves a huge amount of confusion for ignorant voters who don’t understand what’s wrong with Obama’s plans for America in the first place. If we can’t castigate socialism and show the problems with it in comparison to freedom and capitalism, then what have we got?

What are these guys thinking? Pampering with the MSM? MSM’s line is a no-brainer:

"Diss GWB and Limbaugh.... and you’ll be fine with us!"

They are making a big mistake... like the mistakes of John McCain.

the past 10 days is astounding. I wonder if Obama now has a Clinton like mafia with dirt on everyone that they can silence critics with?


Oh my. What will the GOP do? Continue to inch away from Rush and completely alienate their base (perhaps incrementally improving their public image)? Or do they beg Rush for forgiveness, strapping themselves to a sinking ship?

The have no good choices...thanks to Rush (with a little help from Obama).



UPDATE:

Erick Erickson at RedState has now decided that Cantor didn't really repudiate Rush. It's a hit job by ABC News!
