And in retrospect, is there anyone who would argue against the idea that Thompson's role was nothing but a stalking horse FOR McCain? All the potential money that might have gone to true conservative candidates (we're talkin about Tancredo, Hunter, Brownback) was held back in anticipation of what Thompson might or might not do. And when Thompson finally entered the race, it was a classic case of "too little too late" and his "good friend" John McCain was the one and only beneficiary........Coincidence? Sure.

Respectfully, mkjessup, your postings about Rush throughout this thread have served as a disruption. The problem is not between Rush and the conservative base. The bigger problem, as exmpllfied by this Democrat CAMPAIGN petition, is that the Dem's are trying to create/widen a crack between the Republican congressmen/women and their conservative base using Rush as the wedge. You are only helping their cause.

We need to stick together as a united front and beat back these liberals. Rush is one voice that conservatives can relate to across the country since there don't seem to be too many recognizable ones in the Republican party. They are not irrelevant; in fact they are necessary. But they need to use all the big voices at their disposal. Rush is one of those big voices.

I wish you would add something to this discussion on how we maximize our efforts at defeating the liberal mania that is overtaking our country right now. I have a feeling you have much to add.

You mean, because I'm not 'on board' with the rest of the Mega Dittos Crowd? Sorry about that. When I think Rush is right, I'll be right there with a 'ditto'. But there is an 'inconvenient truth' out there that needs to be pointed out, and I'm certainly not the first to do so.

The problem is not between Rush and the conservative base.

Oh it most certainly is. Rush failed to press the one and only major issue which could have literally prevented 0bama from even walking into the White House, and that issue is the failure to properly document and prove that 0bama is in fact Constitutionally eligible to serve as POTUS. Rush Limbaugh has the biggest microphone in America, and when Americans needed someone with that kind of broadcast power to trumpet the issue of 0bama's questionable credentials, he was MIA, never said nothin', never did nothin', and that alone creates a MAJOR problem between Rush and the 'conservative base' you speak of.

Bullocks. The 'petition' you refer to is nothing but a typical 'Rat gimmick and I submit to you that there is ALREADY a crack between our elected Republican representatives and we conservatives. Rush Limbaugh has been attacked and vilified by 'Rats ever since he went national in August '88. I remember. I was listening. Rush can take care of himself better than any conservative in America.

With a big voice, comes big responsibility. And Rush did us no favors in this past election cycle, and he has done America NO service at all with his uncharacteristic silence regarding 0bama's Constitutional eligibility to serve as POTUS: that is the truth, by all means, refute it if you can.

I got news for you Girlene, we as conservatives have about as much a chance of defeating that 'liberal mania' sweeping our former Republic as the Jews did rolling back Kristallnacht in November '38 in Germany.

I'm not running up the white flag, never, no way. But we are going to discover that now that this illegal 0bamunist regime controls all three branches of government, that the odds of somehow stopping them at the ballot box in 2010 or 2012 are, as the saying goes "slim and none", and Slim is out to lunch. We've been gamed by the 'Rats, and betrayed by the RINOs and moderates in what was at once time the Party of Reagan.

That Party is now as dead as our former Constitutional Republic is. Don't believe that?

Ask Chief Justice John Roberts what-the-Hell he was doing conducting an exparte proceeding with Barrack Hussein Obama prior to January 20th while legal challenges were (and presumably are) still on the docket before his Court?
