Last Call

I will say this:  I agree with Zev Chafets on two things, this:

So why the lack of attention? Mr. Limbaugh has studiously refrained from claiming credit for the movement. His only intervention thus far has been to quash talk about the Tea Party becoming a third party. He wants a unified, right-wing G.O.P. in 2010, and by all appearances he is going to get it.  

and this:

Rush Limbaugh came along after the age of Ronald Reagan. He has never really had a Republican presidential candidate to his ideological satisfaction. But if the party sweeps this November under the banner of Real Conservatism, Mr. Obama will find himself facing two years of “no” in Washington and, very likely, a Limbaugh-approved opponent in 2012.

You see Rush Limbaugh really is greatly responsible for the position the GOP is in right now.  Chafets however thinks this is a good thing.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

But Rush?  Yeah, I'd say all this is Rush's fault.  Absolutely.
