Giuliani, Romney and Thompson are the only true conservatives? This seems like an odd grouping of candidates. Most FReepers agree that Thompson is conservative but most also know that Giuliani is a liberal. A majority think that Mitt Romney was a liberal and became a conservative just to run for POTUS. Does it seem crazy to anyone else that all the talk radio hosts keep claiming that each one of these are acceptable and good candidates? Why is it that almost every FReeper disagrees with Rush, Sean, Levin,.. that Giuliani would be a good candidate? Are they wrong or is FR wrong?
Something isn't right here. I am one who has thought that there is a concerted effort by the 'conservative' media to get Mitt Romney elected. I know that recently, Rush and the others have been promoting Fred but they don't really distinguish him too much from Romney and Giuliani. We know that Anne Coulter thinks that Huckabee and Thompson are jokes and I assume that she supports Mitt or Rudy as well.
I don't think that Rush or the others like Thompson or want him to win. Right now, they need him to take out Huckabee so that he doesn't get momentum going into Florida and super Tuesday. I can understand that Fred Heads welcome the support their guy has been getting recently but is it just a way to get Mitt nominated?
Back in November and December, I don't remember ever hearing good things about Thompson on the radio. It was only when he was down and out without a chance of winning that the talk show hosts started pushing him.
My question for all of you is what did anyone in the 'conservative' media say or do to defend Fred Thompson when Anne Coulter attacked him and called him Fred Sawyer?
Does it seem odd that the 'conservative' media keeps lumping Giuliani, Romney and Thompson together?
Are you kidding?
BTW, Rush has all but flat out endorsed Fred.
Could care less about what Ann Coulter said about anyone.
I read her, most of the time she makes me laugh, she is often funny and she makes some great points.
She is not my god.
I will investigate my OWN as to who I will pick in the primaries. If I read Ann’s stuff, I will take some of what she says into account if it made sense and wasn’t meant as a joke to just make you think.
I believe she writes for many purposes and that you can’t always read what she says like gospel. Sometimes she wants to flame and so forth to just get a reaction IMO.
Not really, he was enthusiastic over Mitt Romney today, too. Rush has, however, UN-endorsed John McCain.
BTW, Giuliani is not a conservative.
You are hitting a LOT of nails on the head... but especially this one:
“’I am one who has thought that there is a concerted effort by the ‘conservative’ media to get Mitt Romney elected. “
Giuliani? Are you fricking insane? You should get a half-zot for even mentioning 911 Rudy in the same breath as conservatism.
Rudolph William Louis Giuliani
Michael Dale Huckabee
John Sidney McCain III
Ronald Ernest Paul
Willard Mitt Romney
The above are not conservative and it will be a shame
if the states that will go to the democrats have a say
on who gets the Republican nomination!
Levin has been pro Thompson going back to the summer.
These elitist poofs should not be underestimated because they have enormous resources in the media. That's why we've seen Fox News pushing Rudy for over a year now.
“BTW, Giuliani is not a conservative.”
Never said he was......and never will.
Giuliani believes it is OK to murder 3000 innocent Americans each and every dayConservatives believe in "Life, liberty and the pursuit of...."
Giuliani is no Conservative !
Thompson is the true conservative!
When I try to predict who our next President will be, I study who has the least support.
Remember, in 1999 many Freepers were banned because they supported Bush and most Freepers were against him at that time.
Anyone remember Trixie and why there was a major split between Freepers?
Thompson vs Obama is what I hope for, but that will probably not happen.
Nothing. Did not even know about it. If I had known about it I would have said, so?
BTW Rudy is not a conservative.
Than the title should have Giuliani removed or add a question mark, because it’s misleading.
Yes, I read the article.
The whole premise of this vanity is nuts.
Rush has all but endorsed FRed.
FRed and Duncan are the ONLY conservatives in this race.
Mitt - flip-flopper, especially on abortion.
Rudy - gun grabber, sanctuary city mayor, cross-dresser
McManiac - never met a criminal alien he didn’t like, McCain-Feingold, Gang of 14, Lindsey Graham lover.
LOL at both of your posts!
