I would say none of the above.. Rush may not have looked into it as much as Jim has.. we’ve seen a lot of information here.. (I also recall Rush saying Romney didn’t have one of the pillars- Social, not one issue, big difference)
You said yourself, they didn’t come out and outright support him, that negates the earlier statement that they where all for him... Politicians want attention, if they completely ignored him, that can also be construed as non support. Rush didn’t attack several candidates, that doesn’t mean he, by default, supported them. On the contrary, he may not have thought those he didn’t talk about, where worth talking about. If you consider how well Romney did in the primaries, he may have had a point..
“I also recall Rush saying Romney didn’t have one of the pillars..”
Your memory is failing you.
Btw, Rush was again heaping words of praise on Romney the other day and Mclame is NOT the only alternative anymore.
