What Rush is missing is that it isn’t enough for the GOP to simply oppose 0bama’s stimulus. The GOP has to present a *popular* alternative.

He is not missing it on his program. He and others are presenting the conservative alternative. In so far as His program is effective he is also popularizing it. Sean, Levin , Heritage Foundation etc. are all doing the same. They do not however control the MSN propaganda organ.

It is really up to the GOP to both oppose Obama (and explain why) and set forth alternatives, and educate and sell them to make them popular. They are not doing it. Because of this Rush who is a talk show host with others has become the only effective opposition.

There is no leadership at present in the GOP on the national political stage which is the real problem. Governors like Palin and Jindal are first of all state or local officials with a state focus. We need someone with mettle nationally and there is not one at present.

Rush leads by GOP default. The GOP has helped to create this mess by pulling the rug from under GOP leaders like Delay, Allen and others and by the RINOS and their compromises.
