No, he meant it. Fred Thompson is obviously a conservative, and as of last week, he was clearly in the race.
But some people seem to think Rush didn’t mean it when he listed Romney first in his discussion about “true conservatives”. Not saying that Romney was first because he was the most conservative, just saying that he didn’t add Romney as an afterthought to his list of what he thought were true conservatives.
If Rush thought Romney was not a conservative, he would say so. He said so of McCain, he said so of Huckabee. IT’s not like Rush is shy about his opinions. But instead, he said Romney was a true conservative.
Romney is not a conservative in any sense of the word.
