Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh stunned his listeners by announcing that he might not support the Republican presidential nominee in this years election.
Limbaugh said on Mondays show: "I can see possibly not supporting the Republican nominee this election, and I never thought that I would say that in my life."
The reason: You dont have a genuine down-the-list conservative among the GOP candidates.
Wherever you go here in this roster of candidates, you're going to be able to point out not conservative, what he did there is not conservative Rush said.
The Republican front-runners want the nomination because it's their turn, he also stated. We tried that in '96 with Bob Dole and now they're running the same scenario
"I'm telling ya, it's gonna come down to which guy do we dislike the least. And that's not necessarily good."

I can find a quote from Rick Santorum that the first Bush tax cut would have been much larger if not for McCain’s opposition.
Could that had meant we wouldn’t needed a stimulus now? Who knows? I never served. Does that mean my opinion doesn't matter?
Huh? I'm not getting it?
Oh, I think the answer to that is quite clear.
Today I mailed it in without choosing anyone. The thought of Billary sickens me, but even with that in mind I can’t, in good faith pick any of the above. I have voted 100% Republican since 1980, now I feel homeless.
ROFL!
I'm with you on most of what you wrote. Two of those you mentioned would be moderately better than Hillary (hint: not McCain or Giuliani) but what a depressing load of dingbats!
From the gentleman that said Romney belongs to a cult.
What Mc Cain was opposing was the run away spending. He now supports making the Bush tax cuts permanent plus he has a few new ones of his own that Jack Kemp helped him formulate. If you want to continue earmarks and pork barrel spending, then vote against Mc Cain. If you want someone who will have the courage to veto those things, vote for Mc Cain.
Thanks, but this gives no indication that he wouldn’t support Romney. Prehaps not McCain or Huckabee given his frequent negative comments about them, but it’s clear he would vote for Romney.
This weekend I am going to go over McCain rollcall votes and compare them with Hillary. I will let you know the results.
He said “no candidate.”
Your powers of self-delusion are amazing.
In the end he will, because he’ll come to his senses and realizes having to look at Shrillary and Bubba’s antics for for 4 more years...is much too unthinkable!
But then again, he’ll have material for 4 years.
But then again, he’ll have material...trust me El Rushbo!
He makes a good argument about the country getting ruined on the hypocrats watch, but my feeling is it’s not worth the risk to damage it beyond the point of return either!
I will be writing in Fred's name. My conscious won't let me vote for any of the present candidates.
That would be useful. I also would like to see a side by side comparisson between Mc Cain and Romney on all pertinent issues, but when it comes to Romney I would like to see his positions before and after he started running for President.
Haven't heard this. Who is it?
There was a picture of her posted by someone on FR yesterday. She’s 30 or 31, blonde and very hot. Can’t blame Rush for going brain dead. It’s happened to the best of men.
Neither will the Internet exists as we know it today. Places like FR will either be outright banned, or regulated and "moderated" into meaninglessness. Remember what Hillary said after Drudge broke the Lewinsky scandal (something about how the Internet needs 'oversight')?
great points...I guess with McCain-Feingold he feels like it’s already a moot point?
But there’s soooooo much other damage to be done, hell the beest even gave us a glimpse with her IDEAS for America and all those presents under the tree commercial...
universal healthcare etc.
Here's a link to some more stuff Rush said about Romney if you have any doubt he would vote for him:
Mitt Romney's Inspiring Speech
Here's an excerpt from near the bottom:
"Now, just a couple final thoughts here on the Romney speech and the atmosphere surrounding it. As I mentioned, I don't endorse candidates in primaries, but Romney certainly should have our attention in a good way."
You're stretching Rush's words to imply he was saying something he clearly wasn't.
Good for you.
The RNC powers-that-be need a wake up call.
