Marginlization

The left is beginning to gain a little bit of ground and it all revolves around one man whom the vast majority of conservatives support and respect; talk radio mega-super star Rush Limbaugh. Two groups are falling victim: conservative leaders in Washington like House Minority Whip Eric Cantor and RNC Chairman Michael Steele. All three of these men don't have to fight for leadership (Rush isn't) and all three of them lead the party in their own way, Rush is the getting the troops riled up, Michael Steele is organizing and drawing up strategy and Eric Cantor is organizing the Lieutenants in the House. The second group to get riled up is the conservative blogosphere, I have read some negative things about Cantor, but there is outright red-eyed rage being poured over Michael Steele. One prominent conservative blogger even went as far as calling him a "Christine Todd Whitman-Republican" in one of his posts.

I think both groups need to stop fighting with each other, step back and think about the strategy of the left. What better way for the left to get ahead than turn the blogosphere against the conservative leadership in Washington? The leaders in Washington need to grow a spine and defend Rush, but the blogosphere needs to calm down too. Rush would be (and is) disappointed in both of you. We've got to defeat this insane expansion of the federal government in less than two years and it's going to take every single hand on deck to accomplish it.

Steele, Cantor, Limbaugh, The Bloggers, they'll all be apart of this. We've got to work together.

  1. I agree with you on this point, conservatives must stop eating their own and work together. People within our ideological movement must work together to further conservatism, not devour each other.

  2. Defintely. It was really, really dumb for Steele and Cantor to try and deny Rush Limbaugh. Rush has got a real important part to play in the conservative movement. Denying him is running right into the left's trap.

    At the same time, bloggers slamming Steele and Cantor are also running into the left's trap.

    We must not play their games.
