A major indicator of their success is that the Washington GOP Establishment planted a story in Roll Call about their lack of influence.The article was clearly planted by House Republican leadership staffers, the same staffers who planted a story about me in the Washington Post at the end of July about how I have no influence and nobody listens to me. Two weeks after these House leadership aides declared, anonymously, that I had no influence I introduced Rick Perry at the RedState Gathering where he declared his candidacy for President.No influence. It is the same with Heritage Action for America. You know a conservative wields influence when House leadership staffers push out stories about the conservatives&#8217; lack of influence, but are too chicken to go on record about it. Nobodies don&#8217;t get booed.]]>Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:19:21 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2011/09/15/nobodies-dont-get-booed-n40429
