      Wow. You guys have really gone over the edge. It's conform, or you're OUT says Rush.

      I thought the GOP was the "big party" tent, as in, everyone is welcome. As long as you conform to the principles of conservatism espoused by Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, et all.

        Once the PNAC and their mouthpieces (Limbaugh et al) set the tent on fire, the smart party-goers starting leaving.

        Eventually, a new tent will be built, the old one is nearly burnt down.

      Big Tent Party? Sorry, St. Ronnie.

      We knew Peggy and Newt were goners for showing erratic spurts of rationally, but GWB?

      Rush, when did you drop your hero down the drain? Thanks for telling us now after 8 years of rear-kissing fanboy fanaticism.

        I actuall believe Cheney was more of Rush's type. Bush always came off as moderate to me. He was just Cheney's yes man and allowed the people around him to pull his strings. I'm not suprised Rush is bailing on him now. He wanted to help the fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa and we all are aware of how Rush feels THAT was overhyped.

          Actually, Bush was an ideological nothing. He never had any real interest at all in politics. His dream was to be Commissioner of Baseball.

            The Commissioner of Baseball remark reminds me of the National Lampoon Missing White House Tapes from the Nixon years.

            "I'm Governor of California".

      Although the similarities are obvious, Rush, I'm not sure that referring to your trousers as a "big tent" is an appropriate metaphor.

      No one left the GOP tent. Rush is using the tent as a shirt.

      So the GOP is morphing into the party of iiots.. One must not forget it was GW Bush who divied this country into two distinct populations, either you are with us or you are with the terrorrists an invoking patriotism while oing so, and the GOP'rs carried on without abatement. As long as RupertMuroch and Roger Ailes gives these guys a voice, this willnot en.

          Rush supports himself and his little daily power trips. Nothing else.

          Like the GOP moderates who thought that they would be able to shut off the crazy pundits and tea baggers when they needed to and now find their behinds on the chopping block, Rush, beck, Hannity, etal, need to realize that the purge for conservative purity may get them, too.

          While the Democrats give Joe Liebermann fluffy pillows and a comfy chair while he stabs them in the back, look how the Republicans are treating its party faithful. Now what political parties are know for purges? You have the Republicans, the Communists, the Nazis....

        Exactly. Everyone is still in the tent, Rush; it just evolved into the 15th century (finally).

      Darth Vader left the tent the moment he refused to take orders on whom to pardon from the Dark Lord of the Sith. Unfortunately, that was 7 years and 11 months too late.

      Rush is fondly remembering his youth, when he would steal his father's Playboys, jump into his bed and play pup tent.

      This is good! Now instead of his non-stop attacks on "liberals," Obama, et al, Limbaugh is going after his former allies in whatever the hell it is he supports.

      Part of a long, slippery slope that will certainly be interesting and--in a strange way--kind of sad to watch. It's like Howard Beal on the radio

        And once Limbaugh gains all his weight back (like he always does) then he'll be the only one who can squeeze his fat butt into that tent. ;>)
