Ok, my tongue is in my cheek (a little), but absolutely EVERYTHING about the 2008 GOP Primary was beyond awful. I’ve expressed this opinion before - NO ONE who ran in 2008 should be allowed to run again. They couldn’t beat McQueeg!

Rush Limbaugh on the Tea Party movement the Republican party and the conservatives Sarah Palin her Daytona beach appearance and McCain. Rush Limbaugh says that Sarah Palin is not a Tea Partier , she is a republican first and foremost, Rush Limbaugh believes that Sarah Palin owes McCain the fact that she is what she is today and that it is a payback time for her to McCain , it is an obligatory payback says Rush Limbaugh.
And don't forget, all the Jobs that were saved by stimulus money in that District!
RINO’s are bad, RINO’s should be voted out, no one should support RINO’s......except when Palin does it.
Oy. President Bush did NOT get us Obama
______________
I have to disagree with that. Bush became a nut case in his 2nd term. He did indeed give us Obongo but I blame McCain more. I don’t think McCain wanted to win or ever had any intention of winning. Of course the illegal campaign funds, foreign donations, ACORN, SEIU, and the morons that never even voted before that went to the polls to vote for a magic negro messiah, all contributed to putting that monster Marxist in the WH.
i asked if you knew the definition...you answered and proved your motives...

What exactly is a RINO? Someone who is not 100% in ideological lockstep with your definition of”conservatism”? It is the most overused and abused term on FR. To label Palin a RINO proves that it has become a meaningless term.
Ummmm..., I disagree... the term RINO is definitely not "meaningless"... I've discovered the new meaning here on FRee Republic, and it's pretty simple actually.
It means ...
That pretty much sums it up for Free Republic, I would say.
But, I do note a corollary that seems to go along with this one, too. It goes like this...
And all it takes is just one obscure point that the poster has, nothing much more... LOL...
There are some other variations, but all the variations center around the poster labeling anyone a RINO if they differ on anything with them. Oh..., and they don't care if the candidate can get elected either... just so long as they don't deviate from each and every point the poster has.
Should no one with integrity enter the political process? Because that is what you were implying by your statement.
Who will save us from the Marxists if conservatives with integrity don't qualify?
I’m constantly amazed at how much deep political analysis and commentary that Rush can offer up and disseminate, yet sound so conversational and interesting while doing it.
Yeesh.
People on here have been saying this for months.
He’s right. We were right.
It’s about as politically obvious as it gets.
I'll forgive Hunter for supporting Huck, just like I forgive DeMint for supporting Romney. It's too bad the 1%ers and ankle biters can't get by Sarah's support of McCain. Their whining and moaning about this shows a temperament of kindergarteners.
It’s not loyalty to Hunter, it’s loyalty to conservatism. There are others that I would gladly support. DeMint, Pence, King, Inhofe to name a few. I just will never trust guys with a mediocre record who get the Road to Des Moines discovery of conservatism. We have not had a conservative since Reagan. And before that, Coolidge. That is incomprehensible for a party that is supposed to be conservative.
“Not called the stupid party for nuttin”
We do seem to poop in our own porridge rather often, don’t we!
“Has Rush ever declared his support for a candidate in a primary? I know he’s done his best to take down candidates (like he did in 2000 against McCain), but I don’t think he ever officially endorsed anyone.”
That was my recollection also. And, I don’t believe he has ever named who he voted for in a primary. But I have a poor memory for such since it is meaningless.

The American Revolution was based on a tax revolt.
I'm ready for round two. I vote for a National Tea Party on December 16, 2003, which is the 230th anniversary of The Boston Tea Party.
Everyone spread the word via email, and we'll organize tax revolt rallies nationwide for that date.

It took longer to catch on than I had hoped, but I sure am glad it's finally happening!
As you know, right now I think Gov Palin is a much better bet as a representative of conservatism. She has executive experience, she has a base, she has $$$ rasing ability, she's conservative, she's telegenic. Unless someone else comes along who is better than she is, or she doesn't run, I'll stay with caribou Barbie.
Eight years of incessant MSM lies (a lot about Iraq, which we were winning), McCain's being a horrible candidate who campaigned against Bush, not Obama, a slobbering, lying media who hid the truth about Obama, a financial crisis brought on by the Dems and dithered by McCain, white guilt, American Idol voters, intensely stupid voters, millions of illegal overseas dollars.
THOSE were the reasons we got Obama. But not the topic of the thread, so my last post on the subject (hopefully. :)
You’re taking my analogy at #19 WAY too seriously.
Right on!
Now look at the imbeciles on THIS thread, defending the support of RINO’s. How can you expect healthy, “hope” and “change” when you have Palin endorsing EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GOP? RINOS like McPain! It's idiotic and a disappointment for Palin to do this.
As always, when closet liberals, posing as “conservatives” are cornered on their own HYPOCRISY, they must resort to name calling. It's truly pathetic. Idiots are all over this thread defending compromise on principle through Palin. She's a fool and we need LESS of them. We need people with conservative backbone not willing to keep RINOS in office, like McPain.
Perhaps you should have used an “angel” and “Jesus” as an example, then since we do have the Bible to tell us these things... :-)
