But the fact remains: WE LOST BIG TIME. I want to throw the bums out just as much as anyone. But as a droplet of new blood on the Right, let me clue you in Old Guard: you didn’t lose because you weren’t conservative enough. I mean, it’s not like people like me stayed home or crossed the lines on November 4, 2008 because you weren’t conservative enough. Don’t delude yourselves. You lost because the Left has the POWER to frame discussions on their terms, to move messaging and money, and to inspire people. And the only response Republicans had to Obama’s win was to install Michael Steele as RNC Chairman to show the world, “Hey, we have a black guy too!” You can blame the media all you want, and I tend to agree that Democrats have liberal journalists in their pocket. Sorry, Old Guard, but you have zero control over that. I hate it too, but no amount of complaining will change it; in fact, you’re making us all look like over-paid, over-indulged, whining Baby-Boomers. What we on the Right do control, however, is how well we make our philosophical cases for our policy preferences (to see how we fail utterly at this, click here).

I like Rush, but I really don't have the impression that he's trying to be the unofficial leader of the Republican Party. Which is good, because he isn't. He's an influential voice - but there are a lot of others, as well. Well said.
