Rush Limbaugh is making tons of money being a Republican.
Do Republicans realize he has taken their cause to make money.
He is NOT a public servant. He is an entertainer.

Anybody but him, please.

Its like the Demo's putting up Keith Olberman or Whoopie Goldberg.

i found it interesting that a bigger percentage of dems felt he was the voice of the reps than reps did.

some call him the voice, others an entertainer, i just think he's an idiot.

Makes perfect sense to me.
Democrats want him to be the voice of the Republican
Party. I would if I wanted my party to have the best
chance at winning.

I'm not, but curious why? The poll was obviously written with a slant as I think it would be far more correct to say Republicans don't have a single voice they consider to be the mouthpiece of the party as 60% answered either no one, other or no oppinion. Next closest was a tie between Rush and Newt with 10% each.

Conversely Democrats are in formation and goose stepping to Obama with 67% of those polled answering the President.

Among Repubs George Bush was off the board though 5% of Dems placed him as speaker of the good guys. OK the last bit was a little slanted. LOL

why??? look at the top five vote getters. and of course obama is the top for the dems. but if you fast forward a few years to the next election, you have to be hoping as a republican that you've got a better 'lead voice' for your party, don't you? you think rush, dick cheney, gw or mccain would be a viable candidate for national office??

Jeb Bush could work in a few years , you can't honestly say he wouldn't have better executive leadership ability going into the White House than Obama

C'mon 4 years ago how many Dems would have answered Barack Obama? Someone will step up and the 60% of us who answered no one will know who when we see and hear him/her.

i don't know that obama would have been a top vote getter in a poll four years ago, but he was certainly one being talked about. lol i really think sarah palin thinks she's going to make an obama-esque move in a few years.

True story and the Ultimate Red board, but the night that Obama beat Allan Keyes:eek: for the Senate seat, I told a guy in NY I was having dinner with that "the next President of the United States was just elected Senator tonight"..

true, true, true..:o

but it's one of my favs and reminds me why I lean to the right. Gives that song 'Proud to be an American' a whole new meaning.
