Rush Limbaugh: Fred Thompson is the one, true conservative
Brain Droppings ^ | November 30, 2007 | Bill C.

Among the top tier Republican candidates, Rush says that only Fred has been a consistent conservative. You have been given your marching orders. Now you know who to vote for.

RUSH: …the genuine moderate as opposed to conservative aspects of three of the top-tier, four of the top-tier candidates were on full-fledged display last night. There was one candidate who did not display any moderateness or liberalism or have any of his past forays into those areas displayed, and that candidate was Fred Thompson. … …we have a campaign now where most of the candidates are not genuine conservatives. They may be saying they are, but in their past they have done some things that are not conservative in any way, shape, manner, or form — and I think a lot of those things are being overlooked even by friends of mine in the conservative media because the obsession is Hillary…

Rush Limbaugh: Fred Thompson is the one, true conservative among frontrunners.

To be fair, he was speaking of frontrunners when he gave this ersatz endorsement.

I just can't see anyone with the names of Mitt, Duncan or Huckelberry being President of the USA. Now Fred Thompson, there is a true presidential name.

But you are correct Petronski, Rush has endorsed NO ONE at this time.

What's your point? If Duncan Hunter showed up as more than a blip in the polls, maybe Rush would've given him some props, but as it is, what's the use?

I don’t believe I ever referred to Rush’s statement as an “endorsement” anywhere, did I?

I’m correcting the impression left by the title. Please don’t be so touchy.

“I truly believe that Conservatives are so hungry for a candidate that those in Iowa jumped to Huckabee from Romney and Rudy, and his peak will begin to drop. As they review his record more closely, they will gravitate to FRED and he will peak at just the right time.
The RUSH statements will eventually get out and the numbers will climb steadily over the next few weeks.”

These is very possible, it is hard to predict how things will come out. I do think that the “morality first” voters (like myself) will stay with Huckabee until he pulls out (if) - it is not just an Iowa phenomena. However, although I’m supporting Huckabee, I would be fully content with Thompson is he gets the GOP nomination.

I was very happy to see the numbers coming back. Even though I fully expect the poll numbers to ebb and flow in the weeks to come, those who immediately were counting Fred out can see the race is still open. Fred can do it.

Look how quickly Huckleberry came to the top. He has no campaign in New Hampshire to speak of. He also has no national strategy or any money to take his campaign national. He is an obvious choice for those who have learned enough about Romney and Rudy.

FRED THOMPSON has already put out in writing proposals for the most critical issues facing this Country. I have not seen anything by Huckabee except good one-liners and a fight to hide his true record on illegal immigration.
