One more little song for the Peanut Gallery!

(Buffalo Bob): “Say kids, what time is it”?
(Kids): “It’s Hyucky Doody Time”!

It’s Hyucky Doody Time.
It’s Hyucky Doody Time.
Ron Paul and Hyucky Do
say Hyucky Do to you.

Let’s give a rousing cheer,
‘cause Hyucky Doody’s here,
It’s time to start the show,
so kids let’s go!

As I said on another thread, Rush won’t endorse a candidate officially.

But his job is to discuss important news—which is obviously the presidential campaign first and foremost—and to give us a conservative take on it. So he has to discuss the Republican candidates and tell us what he thinks of them as conservatives.

Since Hunter appears to be unable to make the cut, for the moment at least, that means that Fred is the ONLY conservative candidate left standing. So what is Rush to do?

He will not formally endorse him. But he will continue to attack the weaknesses of the other candidates, and he will continue to point out that Fred is a conservative, maybe even say that he’s the only conservative, which happens to be true. That’s bound to help Fred. Even reporting what Fred is saying and doing will help Fred, because the MSM is still trying to bury him.

Too bad Rush can’t just come out and endorse him, but I can understand why he is handling it the way he is. And I don’t see how it can fail to help Fred.

One would have to be a mind-numbed robot, not to understand that Rush prefers Fred and Willard, in that order.

He destroyed the narrative coming out of the Huckabee and McCain camps that “the Reagan era is over...

That's baloney.

Huckabee never said "the Reagan era is over." (Ed Rollins made commnents like that in the past.)

Huckabee refers to doing the work of actually putting the Reagan coalition together again, by picking up the working men and women that the post-Reagan Whigs (my term) have been ignoring.

I suppose it is hazardous to point out that as a conservative Rush Limbaugh has some shortcomings. Although he has tried marriage at least three (or is it four?) times, he has yet to produce progeny. It is also noted he was habituated to narcotics; he alleges the narcotics were an iatrogenic affliction.

No question about it—Rush Limbaugh is a world class entertainer with a clear vision of who is audience is and what they like to hear. Other than his message, I remain uncertain whether he has ever lived, before and after success, like the usual conservative.

Huckabee stands as a pro life democrat liberal. No thanks. Rush was on fire today and scored a perfect 10.

That's certainly my impression. I'm not listening to him on the radio, because I'm not commuting at the moment. But I read quite a few transcripts here. My reading of those is that he speaks well of Fred as a true conservative. He speaks a little less enthusiastically about Willard, but he carefully refrains from making an occasional negative comment. The others he hasn't hesitated to attack for their faults, especially after Huckabee was foolish enough to attack him back.

ahh one has to enjoy the screaming of trolls upon hearing truth.

It was a CLASSIC!!!

The civil war music, the laying out of the factions.
The confusing of the MSM over what to do.

He could have been talking about the battle of Shilo or bull run, it was HYSTERICAL.

Part II was a perfection of skewering the egos of Establishment Huckabee and Mr. Senate Country Club McCain. Those pompose egomaniacs need a down taking. Even Newt was not immune today.

Not just entertaining, but correct on every single factual data point.

Baloneyous, phoneyous, low-bloweyous, nothing-to-showeyous, and almost feloneyous!

Funny, how Rush has neglected that Mitt Romney has called for federal aid to Michigan, while Mike Huckabee has not (10th Amendment being what it is).

Huckabee's economics, for Michigan

It is Limbaugh who calls "class warfare!" -- "class warfare!" -- and someone who is the first to bring that up apparently thinks there is some kind of higher class in America.

Limbaugh looks less like Lincoln and more like Alexander Hamilton. More Ayn Rand than Adam Smith. More Whig than Republican.

The Democrats once left Ronald Regan, as he said. Since Reagan, the Neo-Whig Republicans have, too. Huckabee and his supporters want our party back.

In case anyone missed it on Rush’s website, here’s his outstanding performance on the Democrat Uncivil War:

That's baloney.

You got that right, there's a lot of it going around here and Rush has been blowing his diet eating too much of it. Man, I don't remember Rush being this hysterical over fellow conservatives since Pat Buchanan had the nerve to buck the anointing of Bob Dole! Now Rush is at the forefront of the Republican Conservative Gestapo.

You gotta love "The Truth Detector" who claims he won't endorse any candidate...but then trashes all the ones he doesn't like! Wow, I guess that's what passes for being truthful to Rush anymore. He's really lost it.

I guess Rush can't stand it if folks who vote Republican don't follow his lead and actually think for themselves. Rush is especially frustrated that he doesn't have more control over the religious right. That's why he throws these tantrums when things don't go his way.

Well, Rush, just lay back, pop a few more pills, take it easy, and dream about your next divorce. Speaking of which, as far as his appeals to emulate Reagan, I don't remember Reagan being a drug-head pill-popper...

Huckabee stands as a pro life democrat liberal.

Give us one Democrat that favors the Fair Tax plan, which would dramatically reduce taxes and the size of government. Or one that has significantly cut taxes at all as Huckabee also did in Arkansas. Name one that pushed through a law protecting traditional marriage, has promoted abstinence in the public schools or took actions to strengthen the institution or marriage.

Name one Republican in the race with a chance of winning that is as strong a proponent of Second Amendment rights. Name one with a chance of winning that can be trusted to nominate judges to the courts.

And, if you think the millions of Christians supporting Huckabee in this election are going to vote for one of the other RINOs that have abysmal records of social issues, you're sadly mistaken. They aren't and a candidate like Romney would be on his way to one of the most crushing defeats a Republican has had since FDR was running.

Well, shame on you for not being a mind-numbed robot like all the other ditto-heads that kiss Rush's ring!

You nailed it. He doesn't live his life as conservatively as he preaches. That is why I don't consider him a real "social conservative" and why when trying to influence voters he ultimately always gives priority to fiscal issues..what is most near and dear to his heart.
