Conservatives are almost benumbed by the bad faith of those who deliver “powerful messages.” Nevertheless, the primary 2016 goal of conservatives must be to seek the candidate who is least likely to betray them. It is to be expected that anyone seeking the Republican presidential nomination will at least repeat conservative lines. But that should be just a start. It is much more important to find someone with a record of honesty and integrity. Not just important, but critical — critical because the next election will probably be the last chance to repel the relentless march toward complete leftist tyranny.

Lester, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, I note with interest that this is the first post you’ve made since you registered back in 2012. So, I’m compelled to ask “Whose basement are you operating out of, precisely?”

Lester, congrats on your first post. Member since 2012-09-27 ...

[humblegunner]

Pleased to meet you.

[Servant of the Cross]

Point of order question ‘gunner ... is the GOPClub forum interchangeable with Boogers&Personal?

Sorry, but I heard Limaugh's show during the Rubio comments. 1) Rush has effusively praised the CONSERVATIVE elements of every person who has announced so far. He praised Rand Paul's concerns about the national security state, he praised Cruz's staunch opposition to Obamacare, and he praised Fiorina's terrific attacks on Clinton. So he was entirely consistent in praising Rubio's "What I owe America" speech and contrasting it with Zero's "What America owes me." 2) Rush has consistently for years stayed away from picking candidates in primaries.

GOP and conservative pundits would be smart to emulate Rush: focus on Hillary/Zero/Dems and point out when ANY candidate does that, and stop sniping at GOP candidates. The primary voters will handle that.

Exception: I don't think I have ever heard Rush cite anything Huckabee says, but then, I can't either.

Ted Cruz 2016

Wow 2012 and this is your first post. Hmmm.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Anytime anybody does something conservative they are going to get an “atta boy” from Rush. For the most part he stays out of the selection process.

Lester! Old pal, old sock, old bean!

Blog pimping is so unattractive.

Lester - there be some funny letters after your name.

Wot's that for? "PhD?"

Are you a "Putterer in the History of Denmark?"

But it has to be considered a great honor to receive a visit from a genuine expert practitioner of Western Journalsim.

i stopped listening to rush years ago, when it became clear to me he was a republican first, talk show host second, and conservative coming in a distant third...

Because the United States leans conservative ...

Well, right there, you've got to reconsider your assumption.

If it's wrong your conclusion will be wrong.

Consider:

1) Obama winning twice with over 50% of the popular vote.

2) Politicians moving away from positions that were once assumed to be shared by most Americans (Obama on gay marriage, Hillary on immigration) -- if they thought a majority would object they wouldn't have changed their position.

Comments?

Maybe I missed them?

Any candidate who comes from the Senate must eventually condemn Mitch McConnell if they want to keep conservative credentials.

That's not going to happen.
