U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland, said he has no intention of acting like Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter. U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra
Like those two extreme conservatives, Hoekstra endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president and wishes he would have won the GOP nomination.
But Romney dropped out of the race Thursday, two days after a disappointing showing in the Super Tuesday primaries. That likely leaves the Republican presidential nod to the frontrunner, U.S. Sen. John McCain, and that's all right with Hoekstra.
"Senator McCain has shown himself to be a strong and viable candidate," said Hoekstra. "I think that will continue for the next nine months of the campaign. I think Republicans will unite behind him, and he's already demonstrated that he can attract independent and Democratic voters."
So what about Limbaugh and Coulter, who have suggested they could never support a moderate like McCain, and even threatened to leave the party and vote Democratic in the general election?
"They're interested in their own particular ideology, not in winning," Hoekstra said. "They never find the perfect candidate. The only way they would find the perfect candidate is if they ran for office themselves. And if they did, they wouldn't win."

I guess some on FR will be wishing for the good old days of when they thought of hyperbolic bombast as relevant.
Don’t forget me.....
McCain could drop dead in 3 months of a stroke......waiting this out seems prudent to me.....
Stupid people don’t understand that it is their political voices the politicians want silenced - talk radio is merely an outlet for them.
If course I would put you in the “stupid” catagory. /s
The press exists for the purpose of keeping the government in check. Folks who recoil at any conflict would have us tame the watchdogs and enable goverment corruption. Thank God for the true media watchdogs who are doing the jobs the original media would not do.

You don’t hide your open border and pro illegal alien
glee.
Your support of the enemy while sitting in Pa a few thousand miles from the border makes you look like a foolish child.
I live in San Diego and see first hand what the enemy is doing and what it is costing us in money and the loss of our country.
Your glee is no better than the Code Pinkos I have countered in rallys and the over 50,000 Mexicans I saw first hand here marching with their Marxist signs and hate for America.
Because you are known for supporting the illegals, you would do well the STFU if you want people to vote for McCain because you arn’t helping him with your smart ass
posts.
