I spent almost 5 hours on the road and in many places the only talk radio I could get was Rush Limbaugh.
And he said something interesting about the Republicans who were now supporting Obama. This was on the day former Republican governer of Massachusettes William Weld endorsed Obama.
I don't know where to get a free transcript of his show, so I will paraphrase:
"Good riddance. The myth of the Republican party 'big tent' is over. Its just a cover for abortionists. Now that they are out of the Republican party we should never let them back in. We need a new pure Republican party where everyone believes in the same things. The 'big tent' Republicans moved the party to the center and now that they have us here, they deserted us. Good riddance"
On Sarah Palin a caller asked if she would be the new head of the Republican party. Rush said he hopes she is but Palin has made it plain she won't have anything to do with a Republican party that allows any 'big tent' or moderate Republicans in it.
Rush:
"My friends, we need an ideologically pure Republican party that is so far conservative its unacceptable to anyone who has any idea that their wishy washy moderate viewpoints will have any influence"
The battle for the Repubican party begins.
And Field Marshal (or is it Marshall Fields?) Sarah Palin is in charge.
