I for one will not vote for a President should you and your kind vote MeCain the nomination.
Probably because they can read and do not rely on the MSM for their news!
Forget the conspiracies, McCain's dislike by conservatives is well earned.
>> I don’t recall too many media conservatives holding a similar long-standing grudge against the President for his part in limiting their speech.
Really? You must not have spent much time on FR over the past seven years.
McCain-Feingold, NCLB, and Medicare pt D were the three colossal errors of GWB’s first term.
The truth: the choices for presidential nominees are limited in 2008. Yes, Romney has flipped on issues, but he hasn't flopped back. His conversion could be sincere - so there's hope. He seems not to have a tin-ear and who can be persuaded to stay with conservatives agendas. At the very least, he probably will not actively support many of the liberal issues as president. McCain on the other hand has shown for decades his disdain toward conservatives. McCain has proven that he will consistently and actively support liberal issues on the national level. This explanation may clear up some of the confusion for this author.
Yep. He is just like Obama and Hitlery, all right.
Remember Nixon?
Regardless of the motivations of the talking heads, I will support none of the above. My motivation is to promote conservatism. The lesser of two evils days passed me by long ago.
There’s no conspiracy. McCain is nearly the spitting image of Hillary Clinton on issues. A conservative doesn’t vote to extend amnesty to illegals, suppress free speech and vote against tax cuts.
>Come out and say it publicly and make it clear that you are not simply making a political case for “anyone but McCain” but are also lobbying to preserve your livelihood.<
So what if they’re trying to protect their livelihood?
By doing so, they are also fighting for free speech.
It won’t just stop at talk radio, you know.
Once they get rid of talk radio as an alternative to the mass brainwashing known as MSM they will come after people like us on sites like this.
The only information we get will be what we’re allowed to get, in carefully measured, thoroughly sanitized doses. It won’t be much different than what MSM gives us now, but we will have no other means of obtaining information.
Information is power. They are always holding back on us in order to render us powerless.
I do agree that Hannity looked like a stupid high school cheerleader in his support of Guiliani. The rest is some kind of effort to minimize and marginalize conservatives or try to force us to vote for the “Democrat Nominee for Republican Presidential Candidate”.
You seem like a really sharp fellow, how about this theory?.....If McCain is willing to impose the “fairness “ doctrine on talk radio, which is nothing more that gov’t imposing speech controls, and Romney is not (in fact no other Republican anywhere has suggested as much), then .. could it be.. for example.. that McCain is more LIBERAL than Romney?!! Could it, huh? Is it possible? Given his sucking up to liberals across the board on almost everything else? And his absolute antipathy to conservatives in general? (antipathy means hatred, BTW).
Bush signed CFR, stupidly believing the SCOTUS would do its job and quash the thing, as it is so in the face of 1A that how could they not?
Well, they did, as government employees are wont to do.
W’s a rotten conservative, and I’ve said so many time here. I’ll also say this though: in comparison, any of the people running for the WH are going to make W look like Reagan, and probably like Churchill for his stand on the war.
The UK right now is LIVING this in the form of Gordon Brown. He’s the pasty, even more liberal, version of Barack Obama over there, and in less than a year he’s signed away the UK’s sovereignty, even to the point of removing the seal of the UK from the pound coin.
Our party was done in by Hastert, Frisk AND W. All the spending and the explosion in Gov’t.
I think Rush is doing the right thing and letting the party twist. As for the rest of them, they were pimps anyway. Hannity became to terrible to listen to about two years ago.
Rush, and Mark Levin (his recent endorsement of Romney notwithstanding) seem to be the only sane talkers left.
The same could be said about Hillary. Should "media conservatives" get behind her?
ping
Ok. So you believe, in essence, that it’s all about money?
Wow.
