(CNN) – A few hours after Rush Limbaugh told listeners GOP leaders launching a Republican re-branding effort hated and feared Sarah Palin, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor announced that the Alaska governor had finally accepted an invitation to join the group.

On a conference call last week for the National Council for a New America, former Republican presidential candidate John McCain said he thought his running mate would probably be part of the effort as well — but there had been no immediate confirmation by her office.

Awesome. Rush ranted about how all these moderates (the ones he and many on this board despise so) all hate conservatives and sarah palin, and she turns right around and accepts their invitation. Someone keep Rush away from his pills!

There goes the "Rush is the Leader of the GOP" theory out the window for the left..........

Statement not included by Org. Poster: Cantor and Sen. John McCain had both started trying to reach Palin before the Council launched last week, Republicans said, and the lack of communication has been seen as another sign of the gap between the Beltway GOP and one of the party's best-known figures

-------Sounds Like they need her more than she needs them......

Ooops, i guess it would have helped had I clicked the "Read full story here"

So, here's the whole thing.

(CNN) – A few hours after Rush Limbaugh told listeners GOP leaders launching a Republican re-branding effort hated and feared Sarah Palin, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor announced that the Alaska governor had finally accepted an invitation to join the group.

On a conference call last week for the National Council for a New America, former Republican presidential candidate John McCain said he thought his running mate would probably be part of the effort as well — but there had been no immediate confirmation by her office.

[View Full Quote]The two groups of key Palin aides — those in the governor's office in Alaska, and at her Virginia-based political action committee SarahPAC — have often given very different messages on her participation with various groups: Congressional leaders and conservative activists have both announced Palin's planned attendance at major events this year after receiving assurances from one set of advisors, only to learn later from other aides that she hadn't yet made a decision.

The governor's decision to join the NCNA's panel of experts was confirmed Monday by spokeswoman Meg Stapleton.

At the group's kickoff event — a town hall-style gathering at an Arlington, Virginia restaurant — Cantor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney urged the party to re-frame their message. Bush, in particular, expressed admiration for President Obama's political skill, and told the crowd not to get mired in "nostalgia" for past GOP dominance.

He mentioned no names, but Limbaugh interpreted that remark as a knock on Palin and President Ronald Reagan.

"Something else you have to understand is these people hate Palin too," the conservative radio host said Monday. "They despise Sarah Palin, they fear Sarah Palin, they don't like her either. She's, according to them she's embarrassing. McCain said, 'I was there with Ronald Reagan'…. No Reagan voter ever believed McCain was a Reaganite.

"And I think… a lot of this is aimed at Sarah Palin. When you strip all the talk — It's 'the Reagan era is over, stop all this nostalgia and stuff.' Clearly, in last year's campaign, the most prominent, articulate voice for standard run-of the mill good old fashioned American conservatism was Sarah Palin. Now, everybody on this [NCNA] Speak to America tour has presidential perspirations [sic]. Mitt Romney there, he wants to be president again. Jeb may someday. Eric Cantor, some of the others, McCain — I don't think he does, but you never know. So this is an early campaign event, 2012 presidential campaign, primary campaign, with everybody there but Sarah Palin."

Limbaugh has not yet responded to the NCNA announcement. Palin joins Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, McCain, Bush and Romney on the NCNA's national panel of experts.

This is a none issue. I think it's time that the left gives up the ghost on the whole Rush thing. Rush is a Radio Talk Show host. He's not the face of the Republican Party, nor is he the leader of American Conservatives. He has power, mostly because the left gives it to him. The real issue here is how the Republican Party re-emergises from this last election. Will it be the "Big Tent" it seems most Liberals would love to see the Republican Party adopt or will it be the return to the Conservative Value form of Government most American Conservatives would like to see happen.

A non-issue in that regard, yeah, but I posted this to laugh at Rush Limbaugh because I detest him. In that regard it's pretty satisfying.

Which says a lot more about you DIAF.
RINO's or more to the point CINO's need to be RUN OUT OF THE PARTY.
Don't let the door knob hit your rear on the way out.

If the Dems want to fight with Rush let them, they did this before and it cost them. Rush is a conservative entertainer he is not up for election and it is a battle the dems can't win. Rush no doubt has strong views some I agree with some I don’t but as the end of the day Rush is a conservative voice that irks the dems to no ends. I think it is hilarious myself

hahaha.

All this says about me is that I think Rush Limbaugh is a grade-A *******.

And again, this attitude is exactly what is wrong with the current Republican party.

Rush himself isn't a problem. burmafrd's attitude (and many others on this board) is.

Great country. We don't all think the same and willing to stand up for what we believe in. That is not a problem.

It is when you are trying to win an election. "My way or the highway" generally isn't a very good attitude for anything, especially when trying to get back power.

So, you want tolerance for your attitude, while expressing intolerance for "RINOs"? heh.
