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?
Here is an excerpt:
"Thompson, whom President Nixon once called “dumb as hell,” claimed to have carefully studied the Constitution and determined that perjury by the president of the United States did not constitute “high crimes and misdemeanors.” He must have been looking at one of those living, breathing Constitutions we’ve heard so much about.
