IMO Rush Limbaugh is now the defacto "Decider" in America

[Bandit]

No one has enough of whatever it might take to oppose him. Obama will do whatever the republicans decide he must do and Republicans will do whatever Rush says they must do.. Democrats will sit and wonder what happened to them..

1. Looks like he convinced you.

Me, I don't listen to the windbag.

4. He convinces republicans, who bark orders at Obama

And Obama, like a dog wanting to please his master, gleefully gobbles it all up whole hog.

2. FFS.

3. Folks can laugh and dismiss Limbaugh as irrelevant, but they are dead wrong

The fact is that Limbaugh IS very influential in passing on the Frank Luntz approved lies and talking points. He has spawned hundreds of other local right wing radio tak show hosts. Limbaugh is a major cog in the right wing hate machine and all liberals and progressives should understand that he does infect the minds of millions of Americans.

5. No Republican dare say anything negative about him, no matter how outlandish or vile.

In fact, they take their stands, following his lead. By extension, and as a consequence of Dems cowering and not offering counter arguement and push-back, yes, Rush IS the defacto decider.

6. He Instructed The Republicans To Oppose The Compromise

Yet they are supporting it.

Your logic is flawed.

7. I refuse to allot that much power to the wind-bag

That's bull...
