Once We Get Out of Iowa and New Hampshire, the GOP Race Begins
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_010708/content/01125106.guest.html.guest.html ^ | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/08/2008 6:18:15 PM PST by newbie2008

RUSH: Now, I want to remind all my Republican friends that there are many states after Iowa and New Hampshire where the Republican populations are far more indicative of the conservative base, and to get caught up in what happened in Iowa, to get caught up in what's going to happen in New Hampshire as though they're the only two states that matter and that they're going to determine the fallout on both parties is a little bit over the top.

Why the longer Rush is on radio, the more liberal the Republican party becomes. Is he the great conservative pacifier?

I see Rush agrees with me.

To: Fred

When I received the email from the Kansas Republican Party about FRED having filed for the Kansas Caucus, I was thrilled. This War has just begun for the life of our Conservative Party.

McCain and Huckabee? Excuse me...our Party will not elect either of these men. Illegel immigration will be the death of McCain and Huckabee will implode with all his mistruths.

FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding!) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (“Individual” rights to protect their homes and property!)

INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (Diplomacy through Strength and verification!)

SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (Don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s; don’t employ illegal’s; don’t rent to illegal’s; don’t extend credit to illegal’s; don’t give illegal’s rights they have no right to; report all crimes committed by illegal’s to ICE and immediately deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America!) LAW AND ORDER (Enforcement of our current laws regarding illegal immigration!) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (Enough is enough!)

CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (Great progress has been made on the Supreme Court in Bush’s term. FRED was asked by President Bush to spirit Justice Roberts through the confirmation process. The next President will probably have the opportunity to seat two additional Justices. This is huge folks. FRED will nominate Justices who will interpret the Constitution, not create rights that simply do not exist and legislate from the bench!) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (will strive to nominate superior Justices with the eventual goal of overturning Roe vs Wade)

SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (Social Security is an entitlement program that will soon overtake the budget. The program can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations; FRED has detailed proposals to save Social Security and provide the added benefit of private savings accounts for younger workers!)

DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT OR RINO (Close your eyes and imagine the first debate between FRED THOMPSON and ANY liberal DemocRAT they put up?)

TAX SIMPLIFICATION (Reform and perhaps eliminate the IRS with a variety of choice for the tax payer!)

EDUCATION (Return education to the States. It is that simple. The NEA is the greatest enemy of our educational system!)

WON’T PUT UP WITH TRUTH MANIPULATION FROM THE DB-MSM (including stupid questions by liberal moderators, and “purchased” political pundits)

FRED THOMPSON IS THE “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to set aside his personal life and step up one more time for his Country…and he stepped up!)

THIRD IN IOWA, SECOND IN WYOMING (MSM still calling it a tie with McCain’s name in the lead…FoxNews won’t even mention his name if they can find a way to avoid it!)

No Republican nominee since Iowa became prominent in the election process (1976) has failed to win either New Hampshire or Iowa.

South Carolina isn't much different than Iowa on the Republican side with 50% of the GOP being evangelical. So anyone thinking Huckabee isn't one of the favorites along with McCain is engaged in wishful thinking.

NH had a history of always picking the future President. Up until Clinton, no candidate had won the Presidency without winning NH. Times have changed, unfortunately.

When Ron Paul pulls 8 percent vs Thompson’s 1 percent, I want nothing to do with NH or NE.

Exactly why all of those states have moved their primaries forward and will continue to do so.

Iowa and NH - and open primaries with their free crossover voting - are almost irrelevent now in 08.

On February 6th we will see who is standing, and that process will begin tomorrow.

That is true, our party is a “Front runner” party, we know who are guy is pretty early in the process.

The only difference this time around is Super Feb 5th, we have never had that happen before.

If Fred, Duncan, Rudy, Mitt do not win either in MI or SC, they are on the bubble heading into Feb 5th....

Huck and McCain have the Mo right now, no question about it, SC is so important for Fred, he needs to win SC.

Sox, that was GREAT!

Hard to pick a favorite point, but this is a sleeper and targets the very concept and value of what should be a guiding principle ALWAYS of all Republicans, and why conservatism works every time it's tried:

EDUCATION (Return education to the States. It is that simple. The NEA is the greatest enemy of our educational system!)

I sure hope the Republicans aren't stupid enough to nominate someone whose opponent could play Limbaugh sound-bites as campaign commercials.

We had a long thread today regarding college football.

Winning one of 50 games won’t get you into the BCS bowl series.;

That is very true.
I don’t have any input from SC and I don’t pay attention to the polls at this point, so I don’t know what will happen there.

I do know that Rudy has started to pour money into Florida again.
