No, none of these things were "overhyped".
Romney showed he can't stand up to Limbaugh as a candidate, how was he going to stand u to him as a president?
This is kind of the problem. I remember back in 1992, when Limbaugh was just so foot-stamping angry at Bush-41 for saving the Banking Industry and raising taxes on the rich that he endorsed Pat Buchanan. (YOu know, the guy who said Hitler was a swell guy.) ANd frankly, Bush-41 and every Republican since then has kissed Limbaugh's ring.
This is the real problem the GOP has right now. The inmates have taken over the asylum and the tail is wagging the dog...
You have the tendency of extrapolating a small truth to a vast extreme.. just sayin
I don't think this is a small thing.
I think this is a major flaw within the GOP right now.
Now, back before my ex-boss showed me the "true meaning of Christmas", I used to listen to Rush every day.
So, yeah, I know what an influence he has on his audience. And that's the problem.
The minute Rush started talking about Smack about Sandra Fluke, Romney should have been out there saying that this kind of language has no placein the national dialog. But he didn't. Neither did Newt or Santorum, for that matter.
What the GOP Needs is a "sister Souljah" moment with the Right Wing Media.
Well, if you listened to Rush ( I rarely do) you'd know that nobody tells him what to do and expecting politicians to stifle him is just silly. By any moralistic standard both Rush and Sandra Fluke are sluts... btw.
I'd worry more about the future of this country than the electability of Republicans if'n I was You..
