Today’s Hotline reports on the election advice Rush Limbaugh offered yesterday to the GOP:
Unfortunately, too many House Republicans have often gone out of their way to stick it to the president. They joined in on the hysteria over the Dubai Ports deal and on immigration they have not unified “behind George W. Bush.” Instead, too many have demagogued the issue (which worries RNC Chair Ken Mehlman) in much the same way Democrats have on gas prices. They haven’t unified behind the president to control spending (though, there’s a glimmer of hope on that front). And on Iraq, rather than making a coordinated argument on the consequences of leaving Saddam in power — as many Democrats advocated — and why we must win, we get comments like this expressing hope for an “October Surprise.” Good thing it’s only May 4, not November 7, and there is still time to recover as the influence of Majority Leader Boehner takes hold. By the way, guess what Republican Senator will likely do the most campaigning for House Republican candidates? The one from Arizona.
