...You can hear it in Limbaughs voice and see it in his face. He badly wants to throw the full weight of conservatism behind that candidate. He so desperately wants to that his teeth probably hurt. Hes waiting, waiting for someone to take the lead. Get noticed. Hes waiting for someone to give him the go ahead to cream the opposition.
You can hear the excitement in Rushs voice when he talks about the South Carolina primary. Its The Passion. The passion of conservatism emerging when he talks about that primary. Why, you ask? Because, for the first time since the primaries have begun, conservative Republicans will be voting for fellow conservative Republicans...
...Rush Limbaugh believes in conservatism. Its engrained in his soul. He introduced me to it, and now its engrained in my soul. I can recognize it like a tick on a white dog. Its as obvious as that.
I recognize it in Senator Fred Thompson, and so does Rush Limbaugh. Hes hinted, hes implied, and hes even begged conservatives to see what he sees in Fred Thompson. He sees conservatism, the same kind of conservatism he saw in Ronald Reagan. He doesnt want long, bloated policy. He wants simple, effervescent conservatism for Americans to unfold before their very eyes...

Anyone that listens to Rush knows that he is going to go for the most Conservative candidate out there.....obviously, in this race it is Thompson. But unfortunately, Fred is running 4th in S. Carolina and Florida according to those stupid polls....and I don’t think Fred has been to florida yet...we started voting Monday! I think it’s too late for Fred.....I really don’t think he wants it that bad....
Guess we know who’s writing all those MSM news releases about FRed now, don’t we? ;-)
The fact that you think Christians can’t criticize their opponents says a lot about you.

Yep. Rush’s poorly camouflaged support for Fred is stupid; it’s like being a little bit pregnant.
Rush will have nobody to blame but himself if we get stuck with a mutt.
Speak your peace Rush!!
Huck wants to be his VP.
Rush is only going to endorse CONSERVATISM. He’s never going to endorse one candidate...he endorses principles. It’s really easy to match people who support the principles....we don’t need to names dropped.....and he won’t.
I’ll not vote if either McInsane or the huckster are on the ticket.
As long as he wears his alledged Christianity on his sleeve and shouts “Jesus” thru a bullhorn” that would seemingly be ok with you.

Sigh. Christians should hide that they are Christian? That would make the world a better place and more to your taste?
Two words: Push Polling. Huck is a hypocrite. Jesus had much to say about people like that.
There is a difference between being a Christian and stating such and using Christianity to garner votes (and pander to voters).
The polls have been geting the ORDER of the wins pretty much spot on.
SC hinges on the Hucksters evangelical zombie vote and McCain amnesia.
I live with Christians. Which means I can smell an imposter from a mile away. Thanx for asking.
“evangelical zombie vote”...Gee..thats not bigoted or anything..
It just blows me away some of the so called “Republicans” in our party..
Reagan’s 11th Commandment goes out the window pretty easily with far too many of us...
I don’t think we know that the push polling is being done by the Huckabee campaign. I read somewhere that an automated call was going out through a third party organization. I’m not naive enough to think that there are not likely connections to the Huckabee campaign, but I think it’s also naive to think that the connection to the camaign is high level or authorized by Huckabee. Real easy for a swift boat type organization to do their own thing, with some members having friends or acquantences in the campaign, and NOT to have it be a campaign organized event. Everybody thinks “plausible deniablity” but people also need to remember that people really do do things on their own for their own purposes. You see it all the time on the web and it’s darn easy for any businessman that ever purchased an automatic dialer to do this sort of thing.
A plate of fried eggs is a plate of steamed rice.
He could call a press conference and stop it right now if he wanted to. He don’t want to.
Fred Thompson has to make it on his own. If he is counting on Limbaugh to make him win then Fred Thompson cannot win.
“You are a lying slimeball Huckabee shill.”
Yeah... what he said!!!
