I think you may have swalloed the GOPe schtick about what constitutes Consevatism.
True Conservaties would probably applaud the SC judges, love God and worry about the C of C corporist types who will fund and own Cruz.
True conservatives do not like free trade, but fair trade, do not adore profit over all, but a just profit. True conservatives understand that weakening the middle class destroys a country. Almost the entire political class disses the middle class.
LOL. And hes going to do lot of right things and its going to be Yuuuuugggggeeeeee
| ...Conservatives can no longer puff Trump without harming their own domains. Hmm. Early on, Rush said that Trump was not a conservative, but an "American", so I think Rush at least acknowledged he is ready to support any anti-establishment candidate. And even if Trump should win, there will be plenty of opposition to government change for decades to come. The MSM will still be out there fighting back like they did with Reagan. So I have faith that there will still be plenty of topics for conservatives and right-leaning independents to get worked up about. The radio conservatives will still have plenty of opportunity to get their listeners' blood circulating faster without ever stepping one foot in a gym :-) |

You are correct, I never heard Rush call Trump (nor McCain, nor Romney) a conservative.
That is for the “hold your nose” day after we allow the primary to be lost.
We have to learn from our mistakes.
.
You must have no idea what a conservative is.
Cruz is a real conservative that believes in Godly government, and the rights that were supposedly protected by the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights.
He has fought for, and won the protection of those rights in the SCOTUS.
No other candidate has, nor do they even believe in them.
.
Thank you, and also for getting and explaining me so well. An honor to make your acquaintance.
Cruz is a brilliant lawyer and a professed Christian, both of which are admirable.
However, Cruz was obligated to argue the side he did at the SCOTUS. Had he been obligated to argue the other side he would have done and brilliantly also. He is a lawyer and so obligated in the positions he held at the time.
Careful, Mark, once you go Beck ...
.
Are you really that stupid?
Cruz fought the fight he has believed in all of his life.
Check out his work in private practice, then get back to us.
.
Sarright!
Five of his six years in private practice were representing corporate clients. No surprise there huh?
The rest of his distinquished legal work was done in the political appointment or elective arena where he was supposed to do cases from a political perspective.
Love him in general. But he just does not
have that passion for the American everyday person which is what we need right now.
A seasoned conservative thinker usually becomes acutely aware of the need to protect the whole of society, including corporations by protecting and empowering a vigorous and free middle class. Increases in H visas and mor “freetrade” fail at that.
Bunk!
His mother was too young as per statute to confer citizenship to her offspring. Who would know this better than the great defender of the Constitution, Mark Levin. But no, he wouldn't even discuss this. He wouldn't even allow anyone to even discuss this issue even though it was quite a topic for discussion amongst the news media and the web.
As stated above, Levin might not have seen this as a legitimate issue. Second, such a debate would probably be a ratings killer. Every talk show host knows that there are certain topics which although some might be passionate about, many don't care and will change stations if the topic is discussed. Try to raise those issues and you'll be quickly cut off.
More bunk!
It was what people were talking about at the time. Levin chose to cut off debate. Check that, Levin censored any debate on his show and was so thin-skinned about criticism, purged his web site and social media accounts of such criticism. What a spineless wimp.
Go back under your rock Levin.
You're responding to something other than what I laid out. As I stated and you didn't quote, if Levin believed Obama was born in Hawaii, his mother's age was not an issue. The age requirement only applies to births outside of the U.S.
Levin wasn't the only talk show host who would not discuss the Obama birth situation.
Yes! And don't you find that to be a little bit strange?
Rush, Laura, Hannity ... all deathly silent on the issue. My God it was if someone told them all to not mention this issue period. And they all dutifully complied. Who told them to? Do you realize that if this issue was discussed thoroughly, Obama may not have even made to the WH?
Levin had the opportunity and the Legal Foundation to carry this discussion forward. But he wimped out. And that is being kind. Can you imagine what the world would be like if Obama had never become President? If anything, it certainly would be a much better, more peaceful place.
So tell that so-called great defender of the Constitution that he failed miserably. It tough to get anything done when you are hiding under your bed.
All probably realized that it was a ratings killer. The reason that these three are among the ratings leaders is that each has a good instinct about what interests listeners. Several less-popular talk show hosts tried the topic and it really went no where.
Do you realize that if this issue was discussed thoroughly, Obama may not have even made to the WH?
I doubt it myself. I would guess that the previously-mentioned talk show hosts probably concluded the same thing. Why ruin your ratings for a topic that probably isn't go to go anywhere?
Bunk!!!
This issue is still being discussed to this day!!! Ratings killer? My azz! Their ratings would have exploded.
Why are ALL of Obama’s records sealed?? Is there something there? You bet there is.
Levin et al. could have effectively carried this ball forward but they chose to put their collective tails between their legs and maybe they’ll be able to continue to sell a few more books or more tea or children’s books or stuffed animals ...
Get your head out of the sand.
Whatever. I'll trust their instincts a lot more than yours.
So you admit that if it was all about the ratings the it must be all about the sale of books, all about the sale of tea, all about the sale of children's books and stuffed animals.
Suffice it to say that I would not like to be trapped in a foxhole with coward Mark Levin. The sound of his incessant whimpering and crying would be maddening.
