He's nothing but a pitchman willing to say whatever it takes to bring home the money.

You're wrong. Again. There was a recent poll that asked Republicans to name the leader of their party. 52% couldn't name anybody. Rush came in second at 13%.

He's the leading voice of the GOP according to the GOP.

How? Pointing out the hateful behavior of Rush is not hateful. Unless you can't think very well.

Rush said today on his show (when a caller claimed he is the leader of the GOP) that he is the leader of conservatives, not the GOP.

The link I was asking for is P's assertion that Mr. Limbaugh is not a registered Rebublican.

I know. I just thought it was a good idea to post what Rush actually says about the claim of him being the leader of the GOP.

Actually, I believe Rush passed the baton to Colin Powell:

"LIMBAUGH: There frankly is someone far more qualified and capable and more in tune with today’s Republican party than I to be, not only its titular head, but its real head and that would be Gen. Colin Powell. So, I now pass the baton to Gen. Powell as the titular head of the Republican party. From this day forward, it will be up to Gen. Powell to instruct the party on things it needs to do to win elections in 2010 and of course the all important presidential election in 2012."

Think Progress » Limbaugh resigns as ‘titular head’ of the Republican Party, passes ‘the baton’ to Colin Powell.
