Limbaugh was quite vicious in his attacks on Republican senators who initially indicated that they liked parts of the bill or appreciated Obama's overtures towards them. Limbaugh derided all such efforts as "suckering" in some of those Republicans. Limbaugh also blasted Obama and his administration for noting that Limbaugh had engaged in this tactic of basically calling any Republican who supported the stimulus as a traitor.... And it has worked. Republican senators, afraid to earn the wrath of Limbaugh, have run back to the right. They no longer exercise their own judgment, just what Heir Limbaugh gives them room for (which ain't much). And now some Republican governors are turning down billions in desperately needed federal monies to maintain their own political hopes. It is no coincidence that Louisiana's governor is leading this charge, endearing himself to Limbaugh and his listeners.
