I am a huge Rush Limbaugh fan. I listen all the time. I agree with him 90% of the time. He doesn’t dictate my views, he simply validates what I believe 90% of the time and he states them very articulately. My take is that the MSM and the liberal democrats meddled in our Republican nominee process by crossing over in the early states, and in fact, affecting the eventual nominee. McCain is not my choice. I am disappointed because this was a bad year for conservative candidates. The one I would have supported, Fred Thompson, was not willing to jump through the MSM hoops and play along with their mind games, answering silly questions, raising hands on certain issues. It’s a shame that such a good and decent man was made to feel and act like the MSM dictated he should act. Who out there thinks the MSM should be this involved in the political process when we all know their biases? They ask hard, divisive questions on religion and homosexuality and abortion to Republicans and throw softballs to Democrats. No media spoke of their own meddling in the Republican process. Now Rush is simply returning the favor. No, I don’t like it. Both have subverted the will of the people. The MSM is so committed to a Democrat in the White House they will stoop to any level to insure that. Rush is a powerful resistance to the MSM but I don’t think he even comes close to the impact of CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, MSNBC, NPR. They all have their liberal agenda and they are unashamedly pushing it. They picked our nominee. That makes me very angry. That being said, I don’t think what Rush is doing, though effective, is very wise, and especially his gloating over it and making a big deal out of it. I DO think Republicans should do exactly what Rush is suggesting. I just wish it had not been made such a big, public effort because that can come back to bite you.

I'm sorry but your nominee was a dud. He hemmed and hawed about getting into the race in the first place. He made the same mistakes Rudy did by not seriously campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire. After a brief appearance at the Iowa state fair and his big announcement he promptly took a vacation. His campaign started fizzling from the start. He campaigned at some southern gun shows for god sakes. He already could count on most of those votes. The rest of his campaign involved a few small appearances and Internet speeches made from his living room. You want to be president you have to work hard for it. The other candidates were either not the right religion or not religious enough, or completely boring to conservatives. The candidate that won the nomination won it because (whatever else you say about McCain) he had true grit and determination and deserved the win.

The gloating is a bit obnoxious. But at least by being upfront about it, the Left can’t complain about a “secret conspiracy”.

Meanwhile the Paulians did plot to overrun state conventions and set the agenda.

Rush’s delegates aren’t even sure how far they are going to travel up and certainly aren’t looking beyond casting a vote for/against Hillary or Obama.
