You should really be careful what you wish for. The last time he was the "face of the Republican Party," it was because of a groundswell of conservative dissatisfaction with Congress and President Clinton. The 1994 elections ensued.
Simple politics. Rush is a radio guy that pisses off the Democrats. Thats it.This stupidity will end as fast as it started.
Rush the face of 1 of the 2 the leading partys in the USA. Thats funny.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele is taking issue with the notion that Rush Limbaugh is the de facto leader of the GOP, calling the conservative radio talk show host an entertainer whose comments can be ugly.
Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said in an interview with CNN that he, rather than Limbaugh, is "the de facto leader of the Republican Party."
And Steele described Limbaugh as a performer.
"Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh's whole thing is entertainment," Steele said. "Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly."
Last month, Steele, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, was elected chairman of the RNC. He is the first African-American to lead the Republican Party. At the time of his election, Steele said that "Rush will say what Rush has to say; we'll do what we have to do."
Steele made his latest comments regarding Limbaugh on CNN's "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News," which aired this weekend. The Steele interview was taped before Limbaugh's appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual meeting of conservatives from across the nation.
If the reps had a candidate who could speak like Rush, the GOP would curbstomp the dems. The only problem with Rush is he is too big of a polarizing figure that much of the truth he speaks gets buried.
He pretty much called you losers out on your agenda in a way the common stupid American who doesn't educate themselves on politics could understand. Not you actual losers, but the leaders you losers choose to lead you. Because after all, when you trick enough losers into following you giving you the power to steal trillions, you are pretty much a winner.
I'm also glad Obama is the face of the government-save-us-all dems. Once he fails, no one will ever trust big government again, no matter how well they speak.
I caught that during the speech also.During his speech he told the backslappers to stop acting like they are in the minority..
He did not have a teleprompter like your homeboy. Rush would wipe the floor with Obama in a teleprompterless debate annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd you know it
Rush
"My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh," Steele said. "I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."
And for the record, (not that Obama would ever lower himself to Rush's sub-human level) but hypothetically, if they were to debate, Obama would gut Rush's hateful ass like he were a ing trout. Beyond easily.
Obama asked a terrorist for money. He would lower himself.

Pffff...McCain took money from a known terrorists too, so what?Obama asked a terrorist for money. He would lower himself.
I'm pointing out Obama would lower himself, thats what.
Bill Ayers is ten millions times less destructive to America than Rush has been. Give me a ing break with that terrorist .
No doubt....how would Limbaugh's call to see Obama fail have flown just a couple years ago? Traitor....Limbaugh is leading the Republican party, already on life-support, down the path that will make the Jewish exodus from Egypt seem like spring break!
Rush hates America.
Now thats funny. A radio commentary is 10 MILLION times destructive. Ayers,a man who set bombs off in the USA is less destructive. Umm thats a terrorist. How bout you give me a break. Quit talking out ur ass!
Is it possible to OD on schadenfreude?
Steele to Rush: I'm sorry

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”
“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”
The dust-up comes at a time when top Democrats are trying to make Limbaugh the face of the Republican Party, in part by using ads funded by labor. Americans United for Change sent a fund-raising e-mail Monday that begins: “The Republican Party has turned into the Rush Limbaugh Party.”
Steele told CNN host D.L. Hughley in an interview aired Saturday night: “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it's ugly.”
Steele, who won a hard-fought chairman's race on Jan. 30, told Politico he telephoned Limbaugh after his show on Monday afternoon and hoped that they would connect soon.
“I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."
“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”
On Monday’s show, Limbaugh reacted both to the comment and to the assertion on CBS’s “Face the Nation” by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the radio host is “the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican Party.”
Limbaugh said: “I'm not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don't want to be. I would be embarrassed to say that I'm in charge of the Republican Party in the sad-sack state that it's in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it's in, I would quit. I might get out the hari-kari knife because I would have presided over a failure that is embarrassing to the Republicans and conservatives who have supported it and invested in it all these years.”
On the RushLimbaugh.com home page, the transcript is labeled: “A Few Words for Michael Steele.”
On Monday night, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine called on Republicans to "stop following divisive figures" like Limbaugh.
"I was briefly encouraged by the courageous comments made my counterpart in the Republican Party over the weekend challenging Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party and referring to his show as ‘incendiary’ and ‘ugly,’" Kaine said in a statement. "However, Chairman Steele’s reversal this evening and his apology to Limbaugh proves the unfortunate point that Limbaugh is the leading force behind the Republican Party, its politics and its obstruction of President Obama’s agenda in Washington."
In the interview with Politico, Steele called Limbaugh “a very valuable conservative voice for our party.”
“He brings a very important message to the American people to wake up and pay attention to what the administration is doing," Steele said. "Number two, there are those out there who want to look at what he’s saying as incendiary and divisive and ugly. That’s what I was trying to say. It didn’t come out that way. … He does what he does best, which is provoke: He provokes thought, he provokes the left. And they’re clearly the ones who are most excited about him.”
Asked if he planned to apologize, Steele said: “I wasn’t trying to offend anybody. So, yeah, if he’s offended, I’d say: Look, I’m not in the business of hurting people’s feelings here. … My job is to try to bring us all together.”
Rush being the face is all we have to pray for, if that will be the case, god willing, the republican party will become a minority and Libertarian or some other minority party will take reigns
That's hilarious. And to think Republicans were afraid of Obama's having thought police -- turns out it's Rush.
