I like Rush, and he ultimately came to the correct conclusion.
A true Conservative makes his own decision as to whom he/she will support. As Rush stated (paraphrasing), Conservatives can (and should) think for themselves.
That said, I support Huckabee, and even though I acknowledge Romney’s first-rate performance in last night’s forum (a format that I like), I saw nothing to change my support of Huckabee to anyone else.
What say I? Secure the borders, Kill the Terrorists, Punch the Hippies.....Thompson/Hunter in ‘08....I am a fredhead
Huckabee is beyond awful, it is true. We have a number of less than ideal Republicans running this year. However, if we allow Hillary or Obama to gain power because the eventual nominee is not pure enough, we deserve to go the way of Old Europe.
I agree. I do not like slamming any Republican during this crucial time.
Rush should cool his jets.
I agree with Limbaugh...
Huckabee is a looser. Fred Thompson can win but he needs support to get there.
As huckleberry supporters claim the definition of conservative then I guess he is the conservative in the race.Rush took him to the woodshed.
I think if we run Huck and he loses big then the Rockefeller Pubs will say “see that’s what happens when we run a socon” and scare everyone into nominating Whitman/Bloomberg types until the end of time thereafter.
The NH NEA supports Huckabee. THAT should tell conservatives something to name just one of Huckabee’s bad points. Huckabee isn’t a Conservative, he’s a Liberal with an (R) after his name. He’s a shifty liar, at least we know what Rudy and McCain stand for.
I say there is little doubt that we will have a Dim President.
I and many I talk to will no vote for Huck, Mitt, Rudy, McCain, or Paul under any circumstances.
Why? Simple if I am gonna get hosed and the country is gonna go to $h!t then I would rather a Dem do it.
I agree with you. Part of being a Democracy is supporting the lesser of two evils. If Huckabee is the lesser of two evils he’s pretty dang good. Sorry to say, sometimes you have to be pragmatic in a democratic system like ours. Believe me, I want a Ronald Reagan more than anybody.
Huckabee is the most conservative out of Rudy, Romney, McCain. He is a social conservative and a fiscal moderate and at least for the most part his rhetoric of late has been more Reagan than Obama. Yeah, there are some things about his record that sucks, but people forget he signed the Norquist tax pledge. He won’t be near as bad on economic issues as some have morphed him into on here. No he won’t be the best, but I’ll take my chances with Huckabee over Obama or Clinton any day.
Rush is conservative. He was, is, and will be conservative. He is defending conservatism. If that “slams” anyone, it’s because their record, or their rhetoric, doesn’t meet the definition of conservative.
People ought to support the candidate of their choice, but they should be honest about it. Don’t try to change the definition of conservatism to fit the candidate.
That smacks of wagging “10 lb. Bibles” to show you’re a Christian when your behavior belies the precepts of the book you’re wagging.
Forget it. I won’t vote for Huckabee.
Shun the RINOs. Go with the most reliable and viable conservative in the race, FRed Thompson.
FRed is pro life, family, gun, constitution, originalist judges, federalism, individual freedom, strong national defense, security, sovereignty, borders, small government, low taxes, free economy. Not a nanny state RINO. He stands head and shoulders over all others in the field. You might say he is the adult in the room. The conservative adult in the room.
GO, FRed, GO!!
What say you?
Well if Chuckleberry couldn’t even get past Mitts first question, admitting that he authorized tax increases while governor, then he doesn’t pass the sniff test.
He attacked Mitts religion (one I don’t agree with, his choice not mine). Not a class act from a professed minister.
He said he would not air negative attack ad’s and then allowed the network to play the ad?????
He said it was wrong to attack a sitting president during a war then called Mr. Bush’s plan bunker mentality???
He is easy pickings for the Republicans, the Democrats will chew him up. We really need to focus on someone who might have a chance to win this November. One dope from Hope was enough.
I say: Club for Growth -- the "conservative" Move-On.org?
I say: Real Republicans like Mike. Whigs do not.
We all have a preferred candidate. We should all agree to back whoever gets the nomination and refrain from destructive criticisms, while making legitimate differences known. Any one of these men will be far better than Obama, Edwards, or Clinton, including Rudy or Huck.
Rush is a part of the entrenched Republican establishment that the American people are (sadly) currently rebelling against.
Huck changes his stand on taxes (now backing FAIR Tax), and Rush says “he is not a conservative.” Mitt changes his stand on abortion and gay marriage, and “he is a conservative.” You can’t have it both ways. (Although his duplicity DOES call into question his loyalty to social conservatism as equal to fiscal conservatism!)
The only TRUE, 100% conservatives running are Fred and Duncan Hunter. And both will be through in twelve days after South Carolina. (Ron Paul is watching for space aliens with Kucinich.)
That leaves Mitt, Rudy, McCain, and Huck.
Bill O’Reilly just said “Mitt and Huck are conservatives, Rudy and McCain are not.” I think that is about right.
Which makes Rush — wrong.
