On Rush Limbaugh's radio show he is asking listeners to give their opinions on why the GOP is losing it's following and losing elections.  Well maybe today's show - May 5 2009 - was a clue he should listen to.  Rush compared the President's administration to a bunch of thugs.  Hello Rush - maybe the problem is YOU!  Most republican are patriotic Americans and they cannot relate to a radio host who calls the President and his team "thugs".  Yes Rush, the downfall of the GOP seems to be far right wing radio hosts like you and Hannity.  You are extreme and out of touch with the mainsteam republicans who support America.
