Rush Limbaugh, from his Friday March 19th show:
"But there's a lesson here, and I would be remiss if I did not teach it to you. Nancy's call, all of this anger, all of this frustration, all of this "I can't take it anymore" is what happens when Republicans decide to teach Republicans a lesson. All of you who are mad now, you were mad back in 2006, Republicans were too big spenders, they were no different than the Democrats, you wanted to teach Republicans a lesson, there was no difference in the two parties, and so the Democrats won the House, Obama won the White House two years later, this is what happens when you teach Republicans a lesson, when you think there's purity in throwing your own guys out. This notion that there's no difference between the parties, do you think that's true now? Do you think there's really no difference between the two parties? Do you think any of this would be going on? Even with McCain, do you think we'd be doing this kind of process to get national health care even if McCain had been elected? Nope. No way."
(
Burt Prelutsky was also warning of this peril back in late 2007, if not before.)
