Pomp, it's about 80 years til the next election. So get off the republican election strategy, ok? It doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is what the Dems do, and what opposition from the public they have.

Rush Limbaugh toxic to Republican Party, says Bush speechwriter David Frum

His controversial quips come faster than a locomotive and he leaps over spineless Republicans in a single sound bite.

He's Rush Limbaugh - and he's kryptonite for the GOP, says conservative pundit David Frum. Frum, an influential former Bush speechwriter, charges in this week's Newsweek that the bombastic radio talk show host is trashing the Republican Party by allowing the Democrats to anoint him de facto party leader.

"Limbaugh is kryptonite, weakening the GOP nationally," writes Frum, who coined the term "Axis of Evil."

Frum notes that Limbaugh is a seriously polarizing figure among swing voters, independents and women.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) - who in 2002 compared Limbaugh with a circus clown and then apologized if he had offended circus clowns - called the Limbaugh chatter "a distraction" from "the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression."
