THE GOP PUSHES BACK AGAINST POLITICO

Politico ran an article yesterday ("Conservatives roar; Republicans tremble") that argued that Limbaugh, Beck and the Baggers are scaring the GOP establishment because they are too far away from the mainstream. Today, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) tried to push back by asserting that Beck and Limbaugh really are mainstream:

“So to my friends in the so-called ‘mainstream media’ I say, ‘conservative talk show hosts may not speak for everybody but they speak for more Americans than you do.’”

BTW, Pence also lied about the 9-12 DC protest by claiming that almost a million people showed up.
