Limbaugh's support for Romney essential, like for McCain. Who will be the Palin? [View All]

[certainot]

Limbaugh's support is essential for any GOP candidate. Recently Limbaugh said Romney wasn't conservative enough but like with McCain, that will not stop Limbaugh from supporting Romney.

Right up until the friday before the GOP convention he would not get behind McCain- hated him. So they picked Palin to be the bride of Limbaugh, and announced her as the VP choice minutes before he opened that friday show. He used Palin as the excuse to completely contradict his previous opposition to McCain and get behind him.

McCain wanted Lieberman or Pawlenty but Limbaugh wouldn't have gone for that. Without Limbaugh the GOP convention would have been a total disaster.

The importance of getting Limbaugh on, as point man for the most important tool in the GOP's media domination, is why we we got into the absurd situation where someone like Palin even got close to the White House.

Limbaugh is the most important man/thing in the Republican Party, the true godfather and 'professor' to the Tea Party. The talk radio monopoly and the think tanks that feed it and him, as point man for that giant unchallenged soapbox, are why we're in this mess. And its power to give us the Tea Party, short circuit democratic feedback mechanisms, and obstruct all reforms including those inspired by the OWS protests, will depend on RW radio and team Limbaugh continuing to get a free speech free ride from liberals.
