I disagree. I think Rush wants to keep the door open and support all the Republican candidates to the extent that he can.
However, he said on a previous occasion that Fred is the only real conservative and he likes real conservatives.
No mention of Hunter??
The one thing about Rush is that he usually prefaces his statements with words like .... 'many people think that Fred is the only real conservative' .... or 'it's been said (this)' ... or 'a lot of people believe (that)'
I am listening to Rush right now, and it sounds to me like he is saying everything he can to express support for Mitt Romney, without actually endorsing Romney as his favorite.
Perhaps I am hearing things through rose-colored ears, but I have listened to Rush long enough to know what he is really trying to say.
He certainly is NOT gushing on and on about Huckabee or Fred or Hunter or McCain.
All of which says a lot about what is in Rush's psyche.
Hey, I love Duncan. I love Fred, and I sort of like the Huck-man.
But I believe wholeheartedly that Mitt Romney is the most electable Republican ... and will in fact be the strongest (with Thompson as VP) ticket to trounce sHrillary and Obama.
My question is, if RUSH recognizes conservatism... why this statement??? What about Duncan Hunter. You CAN'T GET more CONSERVATIVE than DUNCAN!!!!!
