...You can hear it in Limbaugh’s 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. He’s waiting, waiting for someone to take the lead. Get noticed. He’s waiting for someone to give him the go ahead to cream the opposition.
You can hear the excitement in Rush’s voice when he talks about the South Carolina primary. It’s “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. It’s engrained in his soul. He introduced me to it, and now it’s engrained in my soul. I can recognize it like a tick on a white dog. It’s as obvious as that.
I recognize it in Senator Fred Thompson, and so does Rush Limbaugh. He’s hinted, he’s implied, and he’s 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 doesn’t want long, bloated policy. He wants simple, effervescent conservatism for Americans to unfold before their very eyes...

WHo cares...Levin already endorsed Thompson...LOL
I agree I think. I don’t know what is being done, who is doing it, and what Huckabee has said about it, but if it’s a lie it should get lots of media attention and backfire.
In the first New Hampshire debate, he said he supports a federal mandate that states enact universal healthcare, although he said the states can choose what sort of universal healthcare plan to enact (Arnold's socialist option or Romney's facist option, oh the choices we'll have).
Once you decide you aren’t going to let people die on the sidewalk in front of the hospital because they don’t have the cash to pay for a simple treatment that would save them, the application of conservative principles to solving the problem some other way becomes a bit murky.
Since we don't do that now, your statement makes little sense. Mitt said himself he "love['s]mandates." There's nothing conservative about that. Sometimes the real truth comes out for him when he stops reading from the script (e.g. when he instructed phone bank workers to "Make whatever promises you have to.")
Hickster can’t attck McCain if he wants to be McCains VP....
The “bizarre” one doesn’t realize the Moaist Commie is in all likelyhood and atheist and could care less about Huckster’s Crusade to bring socialism to the US under the guise of Christianity...
Thank you for your service and maybe sometime you can get around to responding to your assertions and detractors.
Iowa isn't the only state in the union. Just because he wasn't there the manority of the time since he announced doesn't mean he hasn't been campaigning. Fred has been to MANY states, meeting with fundraisers and supporters. You can check his website to see where he's been, if you're interested.
Mitt Romney is manufactured and rehearsed? How about he’s just “polished and has a firm grip on the issues”? I would support Romney over McCain or Huckabee with no reservations because the guy is a first class businessman, who has created jobs, built companies, understands economics, and comes from the private sector and is smart as a whip.
Romney’s head and shoulders above most of these professional politicians. If anyone seems to be pandering are McCain and the Huckster. I don’t think we need to go down the list of their great achievements in raising taxes, authoring bills that infringe on our freedoms, and making deals with the likes of Ted Kennedy and Joe Lieberman.
You left out the JimRob endorsed Thompson.
How convenient.
The chart, you say, is in error. Which parts, please?
Fred a distant fourth?! Don’t be surprised is Thompson finishes as high as second or even pulls this thing out on Saturday. I’m voting for him early!
Hope you are wearing your flame jacket. Can’t argue with you though. I was saying much the same in a nicer way.
The majority of his audience are liberals.
Documented fact.
Really? Documented where?
Not doubting you, I'm seriously curious. Would confirm a suspicion of mine....
Even if a Republican won a Democrat would be elected.
I hate it but I’m gonna have to agree. I’ve not wanted to believe it.
The RNC is doing conservatives no favors, which is rather baffling given that as recently as 2004, even the drive-bys admitted “Jesusland” and the “Red states”, and the “religious right” were the difference makers in that race between this country being led in a 2nd term by Bush or the disaster that would have been John Heinz F’n Kerry and the breck gal.
Too bad we can’t fast forward about 20-35 years to see just how good a president Bush is when it comes to one of the most important problems in US/world histopry: confronting Islamofascism.
Better still it’s too bad we can’t compare alternate universes what a Gore or Heinz-Kerry presidency would have looked like compared to what we now have! Or what a Hillary or Obama or Edwards one would look like.
I sure hope it’s not our destiny...for the sake of America, for the sake of humankind.
Man, I’m feeling picked on today! :-(
JIMROB ENDORSED FRED. IT WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS. HELLOOOOO!!!!!
How’s that for ya?
