ratings are a vote of confidence on the opinion of the people. Hold unpopular opinions and your rating drops, making what you say inconsequential.

It isn't inmates running the asylum, it's the popular opinion of the people, as sad as that may seem.

What happens on the right though is that these shock jocks have a huge part in shaping popular opinion. Rush does reflect the biases, the fears, the frustrations of his listeners - he then creates the narrative. The "what should I be pissed off about today".

Because you claim is ridiculous at it's very core, and doesn't represent reality.

That's not what this article says...Limpballs ratings are dropping like the Titanic.

Limbaugh losing sponsors in droves also.

Fox News ratings are declining also....

It's really not looking good for the Party of "No" if they are taking their marching orders from these sources.

:D

LMFAO Nice retort! I hope you enjoy watching your party spiral into the abyss of irrelevance.:twisted: My point is if your party is taking marching orders from these people then your Party is TRULY fucked.

Oh just for reference, If I am enjoying what I am reading about your Party ,feel free to take that as a BAD thing. ;)

That's the problem with you partisan hacks, the GOP is not "my party", I couldn't give a shit less about them, just calling his, and your bullshit.

Yep, just keep dodging.

There's nothing to dodge except reality, the American people rejected amnesty by a wide margin, Rush's only role was repeating it.

So ONE guy making a stupid 3-second, off-the-cuff comment (that we see no other evidence of being true) means it's legit?

Surely you can do better than that HomerJS.

When was the last time a Republican stood up to Limbaugh without going back later and groveling??

Where were the Republicans when he called Sandra Fluke a "slut"??

A GOP strategist admits they had to get tacit permission from those radio hosts before moving on immigration reform and you just want to deny.

My turn

Where was obama when bill maher called Sarah Palin a "slut/wise and beautiful woman"?
Where was obama when SE Cupp was viciously attacked by larry flint with the fake picture?

Wouldn't think you'd like SE Cupp:
Cupp, a Log Cabin Republican, said the Republican party should support gay marriage.[13] She describes herself as a "mainstream conservative" and criticized Ron Paul's foreign policy views along with his views on the Federal Reserve.

She's also an atheist.

“GOP still taking orders from radio talk show hosts”
To the OP you could say the same thing goes on with most media on the left side but all the shows have died because everyone knows they are out of their mind.

You do realize Sandra Fluke was attending a university specifically to make shit about them not dispensing free BC to students right?

Also, what would you call someone who throws a fit about not being given free BC?
