Who heads the GOP?

[Si modo]

I'll use the same inane reasoning: Cindy Sheehan heads the Dems. Or, maybe Keith Olberman. Or, perhaps Janeane Garofalo. I'll start a poll and figure it out.

 

[The Rabbi]

Well, Michael "Hip-Hop" Steele is the head of the RNC. Is that the same thing? If not, I would say Rush Limbaugh does as he pulls most of their (including Steele) strings.

Nice racist comment there, chief.

Anyway, there is no head of the GOP. Just like there is no head of the Democratic party. I would guess Reagan was the last person to come close to being head.
And all this matters, how?

i already explained how it matters troller

It matters for your own personal argument. That doesn't mean anyone else gives a shit. Maybe the fact that everyone says something different indicates that your question is ignorant and stupid?

Was that something the RNC took part in, or just a radio host pumping up his own ego?

You old goalpost mover you.

When have republicans have taken Limbag's advice??

I repeat, one example: Operation Chaos.

....

You haven't even an idea what the goalpost is. The goalpost is who heads the GOP. (I cleverly gleaned that from the thread title and poll question.)

 

[blu]

the gop is completely split. you have

1) the people who call themselves conservative but want to laws forbidding anything against their religion
2) neo-cons
3) ron paul types

They won't come to agreement with each other the left over neocons from GW days are fighting hard in their attempt to alienate anyone from the party who doesn't follow along precisely.

I vote glenn beck as the head for now and no one cares about michael steele

 

[Oddball]

I repeat, one example: Operation Chaos.

I repeat, when was that an official RNC position and effort?

For you to cite an example where someone took the advice of another, you have to present some evidence that they did so.

 

[indianaboy]

Rush said he hoped Obama fails. Republicans are working to make sure that happens.
The interrupted town halls.
The weapons.
The marches.
Anything to destroy health care for all Americans.
The propaganda network.

Remember, these people don't even know what they are marching for. They shout, "I want my country back". What does that even mean?
They don't know Medicare or Medicaid is a government plan.
The don't know the difference between communism and socialism and Marxism.

Republicans leaders are outright lying. Death panels, Birthers.

This is a concerted effort. No matter what damage it causes the US, they don't care. If the US fails, Obama fails. They want Obama to fail, by any means possible.

I was responding to Dude's comments, Obsessabater.

And his comment was with respect to party actions...you know, what a head of the party would ask of party members?

Idiocy.

You didn't say RNC here, you said republicans.

Stop moving the goalposts. You asked a question, I answered it.

And you know they swallowed that goat whole. As Dittoheads are wont to do.

 

[Oddball]

The thread premise is the party, not the average republican who listens to Limbag. My posts are in that context.

The one moving the goalposts is you.

i think limbaugh and hannity indirectly affect the party itself and the elected leaders since they have so much control over the base of listeners. Many form their "own" opinion on topics by mental copy/paste of whats said on radio and this is reflected in votes, letters to officials, town halls, etc. If the elected leaders aren't listening to this they won't get reelected.

 

[Sarah G]

Perception is everything. Rushbo runs everyone who still stands in the party. He's very powerful and controls them.

Big fish in a little pond at this point.

But they aren't listening....That's part of the point.

How much of Shrub's agenda and spending went almost 180° counter to what the people who got him elected expected someone with an (R) by his name to act?

If there is nothing hypocritical about that view of yours, I say cool. I can make any issue into a reality.








Or ... I could think.

So who is the head of the party?

Michael Steele.

More idiocy from you.

 

[Dr.Traveler]

If he's not the defacto leader, the El Rushbo is certainly the guy holding the big stick.

Right now, no one in the GOP will stand up to him directly and quite a few seem to adopt his rhetoric. He may not be directly issuing orders, but he's probably at the top of the list for influences in the GOP right now.
