As Dennis Miller said on the O'Reilly Factor tonight; aside from Rush Limbaugh he felt any of these talk show hosts held much weight in their support or lack of support of any candidate.

"A deadlock Republican convention turns to the most qualified Republican of them all to be president on the fifth ballot, Dick Cheney. And he wins in a landslide in November."
BILL KRISTOL

Dick Cheney, the only national figure more despised than Hillary Clinton...by DOUBLE. That’s a plan.

The race is down to four RINOs, all of whom are now spouting rhetoric in contrast to their record as officeholders and two of whom (Huckabee and Giuliani) may not make it to Super Tuesday, and one libertarian. I don’t blame the conservative talkers for their agnosticism on this race.

Someone gave a persuasive argument that burst my brokered convention bubble today. With his edge in party hacks, McCain is the most likely beneficiary of a brokered convention.

Rudy should know....Rush is always right, Glen Beck is a Mormon, and talk radio lives on. Rudy obviously never listens to Rush as each time I hear him (not often) he is explaining why he does not endorse in primaries.
Rudy must be one of those Bill Kristol/left wing of the republican party guys.

I have just about come to the conclusion that the R’s need to, just as 06, get their butts handed to them. They did not listen to their conservative base in 06 and they are not listening now. Maybe a resounding and utter humiliating defeat in 08 can get them back on the right track and we can just hope and pray that President Hillary Clinton will not screw up much in 4 years.

We truly do not have a “real” Republican this year to vote for. GWB really had a golden opportunity, but instead, put us in the gutter to argue with the dems over how:

1. not to call it amnesty.
2. to fight a war to lose.
3. sure, I will sign that SPENDING bill
4. just doing jobs Americans won’t do
5. let them thar Mescun trucks roll
6. let’s go beg for cheaper oil
7. aw hell, let’s pay for the ole folks pills
8. social security, heck, let the kids pay for us
9. mortgage crisis, move over, we’ll help pay
10. Ben!!!!! Get that chopper warmed up

If Dick Cheney wins it all the way, his VP will be literally one heart beat away from becoming president.

Michael Medved has been decrying the position of conservative talk radio hosts and today tried to claim that Michael Reagan supported John McCain just like Ron Reagan Jr. has had good things to say about McCain.

There is a rift within the party Rockefellers and conservatives. Turning to the Left (it goes BEYOND any MIDDLE) turns off the conservative base. They will continue to lose power until they realize that we oppose their agenda. OPPOSE their agenda. Socialism is socialism. Open borders is open borders. Amnesty is amnesty.

Rush has never seriously endorsed a candidate in a Republican primary, why is anyone surprised he didn’t do it this year? Maybe he was counting on Republicans who have been claiming they want a solid conservative nominee to actually vote for one. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

Well, with the current slate there really isn’t anyone to get behind.

I fear that the GOP will lose big this year, but I know that if that happens they will go the other way.

They won’t try to become conservative, they will run more to the left since that is what “won”. And if by some chance the GOP wins this year, they will run further to the left next election for the same reason.

If that is the case then Ross Perot’s third party in 92 will be a precurser to a really serious third party. The conservatives are not dead and are tired of getting pee’d on. We will look to or establish a conservative party.

Some will say “why waste your vote”? What will be the difference than what we have done now?
