I’ve decided Rush Limbaugh must be a closeted Democrat - I can’t think of any other reason he would be leading the Republican Party over a political cliff by advising that they double down on the culture wars.

With new poll data showing that President Obama is quickly gaining ground among women voters, at least partly due to Republican extremism on contraception, Limbaugh told his listeners Thursday that the GOP would win the election if it’s decided on culture-war terms.

It’s not only women who disapprove of Republican extremism on contraception, though: a New York Times poll this week found that two-thirds of all voters support requiring health care plans to cover the whole cost of birth control – including almost three-quarters of women. By the way, Catholics support the measure 67-25. The only group that has a problem with it is evangelical Christians, the core of the GOP base.

Please remember that all three of those polls were taken before Thursday, when Rick Santorum’s money man Foster Freiss made his idiotic joke about aspirin serving as birth control (if it’s held tightly between the knees, a joke straight out of a ’50s locker room) and Darrell Issa assembled only men on a panel to talk about what women can do with their bodies.

You can bet that Rush would like to hide that archive. He's going to back down, he sees what's happening and knows his dollars are about to get a bit shorter. The radical conservatives are about to be jettisoned. As soon as the Republicans lose (by design) they will blame the Tea Party and extremism of the far right. And suddenly shift left for 2016.

This is all by design.

I'm lovin' Obama's campaign already! He's exposing them in the news, not a dime of advertising money spent.

The Church / Birth Control issue was brilliantly played, he takes the church out of the equation and Poof! Instant Republicans! Don't even remember their names...it's easy. They were Republicans.

And this is how Obama is going to run for a while. The polls will decimate the Republicans, watch. This Birth Control issue hasn't seen rock bottom yet for the Republicans.

I can't wait to see the reaction from the right when President Obama is reelected. :D

This will all be settled in November. No one has a crystal ball. There is no way to know what the election may hold in 2012. We all have opinions but no one has a boot on the neck of the future.

What IF ( i hate IF) he is not re-elected? Will the earth stop rotating and the gravitational pull disappear?

    At what point did limbaugh realize he was delivering huge numbers of voters to Pres. Obama? Or did he?

    If this is the case; everytime a politician or pundit speaks it is delivering votes to the other side. Politics is like that, people will always say something others will disagree with. There are cases in history where presidents have made decisions no one agreed with but in the end it was the right one.

      I think he was too full of himself to notice. He's a very narcissistic individual. Otherwise he wouldn't be losing advertisers like dropped flies. All his lies, hate, and bigotry has finally come back to haunt him.
