Judge Bork said that if one of them is the nomination, the conservative moment is in trouble, because "neither one of them is remotely a conservative."

And that they will do.
He is also supporting McCain..who is even more open borders than Huckabee. For that reason and his obsession with the Middle East is why I no longer listen his program. He loves “disagreement day” so much but ironically never invites an educated person on his show to debate him on the open borders amnesty plan.
Bork is right on those two but he forgot to include his guy Romney in the list. I keep thinking of the intro of the Million Dollar man when I see Romney. I can’t figure out where the conservative begins and artifice begins. I’m not voting for Massachusetts Republican who believes that Boys scouts should be forced to admit gays and who has a health care plan that looks like he copied it from Hillary Clinton. Huckabee, Romney, McCain, and Rudy all lack conservative chutzpah.
Fred Thompson talks the talk and walks the walk. That’s what I want. I have yet to hear the others criticize teachers unions or the ACLU or the blame America first crowd. Huckabee has expressed his desire to have a love fest with the left and Romney is trying to talk the “change” language of the left. McCain on the other hand has probably cosponsered more bills with Ted Kennedy than anyone else in the Senate outside of the Democrat party.

Now that’s what I call being Borked! Good for him.
Of all the major candidates Romney is running the most conservative platform and campaign. Of course he has flipped flopped on important issues, however I will give him a pass given he was in one of the most left-wing states in the union. The other candidates do not have a conservative record either, and frankly there is no excuse for Republicans from states like Arizona, Arkansas and Tennessee to be caving in to the left wing agenda.
Well, we can be absoultely certain they will do that after the nomination ... the question is, will they do it while he still has a chance (in their eyes).
My thoughts exactly. If a statist like Bork can’t call those two conservatives...
Exactly, Romney changed to conservative...rather you believe him or not is a different issue. Huckabee, Giuliani and McCain haven’t changed their true positions.
Fred/Bork 2008!!!
Fred/Rush ‘08!
And not hyphenated-conservatives either. Call them what they are - "centrists" or "moderates" or RINOS.
You can be more descriptive too. Huckabee is a Christian populist (with socialist leanings). McCain is...damn...I dunno what McCain is. Sometimes he deserves more than a hyphen, but sometimes he is not even remotely hyphen worthy; I would say that he has no ideological grounding that could be consistently associated with any political group. He is almost like a corporeal manifestation of MSM bias.
Stay classy, Solov!
It would seem that McCain has become skilled at playing off conservatism and claiming allegiance from some conservatives on some points and from “independents” and even liberals on many others.
Agreed.
George Allen (the man who is supposed to be winning this race) is with Fred and called Huckabee like he is on Levin last night.
Michael Medved and Frank Rich should stick to movie reviews. When addressing the world of politics, they both sounds like morons.
LOL!
Bork is not a conservative, either.
