Mr. Limbaugh has explained the origin as a caller who said "ditto what the previous caller said."

You just don't follow politics much, do you?
Normally a dittohead is one considered to be stupid or clueless. That is what I took the meaning to be.

I don't follow politics by denouncing the insults on both the left and the right?

Insults, you say?

Well, the right has gotten very good at revving up a lot of phony outrage in recent years.

Even if that were so, then how are you any better? Actually that sort of "same thing-moral equivalency" argument is just total b.s and nothing but an excuse for angry right wing nuttery and "entitlement" (aka, "we're special").

Whatever their faults, "lib-ruls" don't show up at town meetings all across the country with firearms trying to intimidate fellow citizens, they don't murder doctors performing legal and constitutional medical procedures, they don't shoot Democratic congresswomen, and they certainly don't blow up federal buildings, taking the lives of 160 innocent human beings, just to inspire a revolt against a supposedly "tyrannical" federal government!

I thought four years ago was a bad choice...the thought of Sarah Palin being a heartbeat away from the Presidency was more than I could stomach. But...this year is again, insanity. Is this the best our country can find? It is a non choice.

Did you know Sarah Palin did not know WHY there is a north and South Korea? Given that Kim Jong Un might have nuclear weapon (or allow Iran to get them from them or store them in their country) just the thought of that lady being a heart beat away is terrifying.

I know. One of my favorite sites right now is the Corner, over at National Review and watch all these conservatives just fall apart, and fight among themselves, the math just doesn't support their rhetoric anymore......LOL


They'll hold their own for awhile, because they managed to gain control of more State legislatures before the full wave hit, and they gerrymandered districts to preserve power. They will maintain control of the House this year because of that. But it's just a matter of time before Dems gain those State Legislatures back undo their work. Then their slow losses will become a free fall.

I'm not voting against a political party, I'm voting against 0bam's failed policies which are sending our economy down the toilet.

What the GOP needs to do is after they (presumably) lose this presidential election is to step back, take a deep breath, purge themselves of the RWNJs and their extremists, collect themselves, and come back stronger than ever in 2016.

Give the American people a reason to register Republican and to prescribe to that political philosophy other than "liberals are communists, LOL!" That doesn't work nor has it ever worked.

the gop might have had a chance in the 1980's and 1990's but they showed how radical their agenda is and the public is moving away...
