6. The GOP doesn't HAVE a Rush Limbaugh problem, and that is the problem.

Rush is and speaks for the mainstream GOP. They LOVE it that he's out there spewing his hate
unfettered. They can always repudiate him publicly when he goes too far, but they'll never get
rid of him because he fires up their base and speaks for so many of them.

The USA has a GOP problem precisely because the GOP does not have a Rush problem. As far
as they are concerned, the GOP has a Rush asset.
