fmj, I agree with you about Thompson and the media. Thompson was ignored and given little exposure after he joined the campaign trail. The media immediately went after him and his wife without showing either of them. The Left does not want a strong conservative running and for obvious reasons. A clear choice between liberal and conservative almost always elects the conservative.
However, I disagree with both of you about Rush. Saying he is “just an entertainer” is straight out of the DNC PLaybook.
Swanky, you obviously don’t listen to Rush either. He has repeatedly said and proved the he is a conservative, not a Republican, and he does not even like McCain. He says we have to back McCain simply to keep Obama out.
On Thompson, Rush did him no harm. He just kept waiting for Thompson to give him something to talk about but the media kept Thompson in the dark and offered their own talking points of “He is tired and lazy, no fire, he has a trophy wife, he is just an actor, etc, etc.”
Just as the Left gave us McCain with crossover votes in Iowa and New Hampshire and lots of media support they denied us Thompson or Hunter by ignoring them, giving tehm almost zero exposure.
He says we have to back McCain simply to keep Obama out.
Sorry, to me that comes right back to shill.
