Cantor Caves: Republicans Will Be ‘Listening’ To Limbaugh, Not The American public

[daniel green]

Listening to all this talk about listening, Rush Limbaugh became incensed. He said that instead of taking cues from the American public, Republicans should fan out and spread their dogma through a “teaching tour.” This morning on MSNBC, Cantor backtracked and said that he agreed with Limbaugh:

SCARBOROUGH: So, let’s start with Rush Limbaugh, who seems to be mocking the idea of a listening tour. What do you say to Rush?

CANTOR: You know, Joe, really, this — this is not a listening tour. You know, think about what we saw a couple weeks ago on the TEA parties.

Exactly my point, in another thread. The party of no just continues it's ways.......Where will rush lead them? Where entertainers do, imo, nowhere.

"This is not a listening tour." Whether or not it was on purpose, Cantor finally said something that was clear and accurate. :biggrin:

I have often wondered how the listeners of Rush keep their ears intact. That much acid and vitriol cannot be healthy for the soul.

Nothing like ignorring the wishes of their constituents as a party policy. No wonder so many people are leaving the party.

Yep, teaching tour, the last 8 yrs has lead to a declining 'graduation' rate. Politicians leaving the party, lost the last two elections. Yep.
