Rush is a solid conservatie as well as a pragmatist. He is also responsible. He will not lead conservatives on a suivide pact at the perile of our country.
He does not like RINOs or moderates.
But he knows that there is much more at stake than electing a pure conservative to be President. He realizes (lives in Realville) that Mitt won the primaries with a large number of candidates opposing him from all angles.
At stake are judicial nominees, treaties, ability to veto bills, ability to vacate Executive Orders, ability to fire all the Czars, reverse agency rules and regs through his own Exec Orders. Can run foreign policy and halt the huge slide into a pro-Caliphate world under Hillary and O, etc.
I do not believe that anyone on this site “hates” Mittens. Many of us see Mittens as just another RINO. We have had RINOs on the Republican ticket since Ronaldus Magnus, we are not happy and we are very frustrated.
Politics is war and when your side looses you have to look at what your options are. Most of us will vote this fall for the most conservative option available down ticket. In some states like Texas many may chose to vote 3rd party as a protest vote. I have done this in the past. For me it is too early in the process to make that decision
-——as well as a pragmatist———
Ahh, there we have it. Pragmatism, that state of disgusting necessity so despised by many.
Pragmatic use of power makes the world go round. Obama knows and his zealots will learn that the failure to reach pragmatic solutions will result in the destruction of all that was so zealously accomplished by the use of shear unadulterated power. Never the less, he persists and thus covers his marxist liberal ass

I appreciate that Fox calls them "All Stars", but I consider this weeks panel to be hardly stars, and extremely weak. Romney clearly has an election strategy, and is not stooping to simply to react to the weekly batch of Obama lies. The only thing that seems to make the Obama attacks effective is the incessant praise by the legacy media and the acceptance of it by the weak conservatives in the beltway cocoon. Nobody that counts is buying it.
I hope/pray you’re right.
By my count, he has won enough delegates to win the Republican primary election, and he won the Massachusetts governor's election. The only one he has lost was the run for Senate against Kennedy. Can you name any others?
Actually, I would better appreciate a less name-calling, a little more dignity, and more accurate descriptions of candidate policy positions, from some of the trolls.

I don't think he is one yet, but he could become one if he follows the Bob Dole/John McCain hail-fellow-well-met, fare thee well, and be-a-gentleman-to-all route!
Most GOP voters want red meat during an election. But they don't want our candidate to be that meat which is what often happens when "playing by the rules" and dealing with the Liberal Mobsters.
Hanging back in the weeds and being a punching bag while the Left defines you may be a smart strategy, but I doubt it. Romney and his team would be better served to brush up on The Principles of War and heeding them rather than The Principles of Etiquette.
Washington cocktail parties and fat electioneering hiring gigs come and go but everything is riding on the line this year. They had best quickly gird up their loins and strap on their armor for battle. The other side surely is.
Tempest in a teapot. The vast majority of our clothes are made overseas. They are also trying to pin this on Romney since during his tenure as head of the Winter Olympics the US uniforms came from Canada.
What people should be concerned about is the $1 trillion dollars we owe to China. And the real question that needs to be asked about outsourcing is this: Why are American firms sending their factories and jobs abroad?
The business climate in the US is driving companies and jobs from this country. Overbearing regulations, the environmental Nazis, raising the minimum wage, high corporate taxes, the high costs of repatriation of profits from abroad, etc. are killing us.
Romney needs to ask this question of Obama. And reiterate that one way to attract businesses back to the use is cheap, plentiful, domestic energy, the lifeblood of any economy. Obama should stop blaming businesses for outsourcing and find out why they are leaving. He is attacking the symptom, not the cause. This is a big, fat pitch down the middle of the plate for Romney. Batter up.
Well said.
But it would be one more negative step if the President who doesn’t appropriately salute the flag managed to send our Olympic team to London without some sort of symbol of their country.
Outstanding, Mitt will cross the finish line first,it might not be pretty but we will pull this one out.
I don’t believe that any POTUS has anything to do with “sending Olympic teams” anywhere. American athletes are private individuals, not govt or NGO employees.
There is blog chat that Obie’s October surprise involves Bain involvement with a company whose function involved “medical waste” , ie; aborted babies.
That’s for sure, from our point of view, but the dems are always allowed both sides of the argument. We know they’d get a big kick of tagging Mitt with tossing away babies. Who knows if true.
They do have a flag on the various uniforms.
These are fine, I am assured.
I was reacting to this shot from the athlete’s left where the patch on the right is not seen and the ‘polo pony’ is.

But certainly agree on the critical issues you mentioned.
Crickets from the MSM...
I'm terribly sorry.... Sundays won't be the same...
