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?
Ping!
Lots of fresh FReepers posting vanities these days. Welcome to Free Republic.

Well, you got 1 out of 3 right.
Well, you got 1 out of 3 right.
Turdiani has no conservative credentials. Any guy who marches in front of a Nambla banner, loves abortion, and endorses Democrats, and appoints liberal judges, is not a conservative.
You need to go back to school if you think he is.
Rooty, Huck, McClame, are all closet democrats, but, I guess you can at least say Rooty has “come out of the closet”.
LOL. I can see the zombies coming from their graves.
Kinda like the dead registered voters that will be voting liberal in the primary, huh?
(and the FR retreads who just won’t surrender to the ZOT!)
Oops. Sorry for the double post.
Oh, yeah---and here's why they love Rooty (/sarc):
Public records show that as NYC Mayor, Giuliani routinely disregarded the First Amendment. He continually rejected requests for information from news organizations and civic groups.
"Freedom is about authority," Giuliani infamously said (responding to critics in 1998). "Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."
Forget the Constitution---freedom is about this arrogant little runt's authority over the working classes.
Can you say Benito?
Benito Giulissolini.
Has a true ring to it.
I would like to see Florida nail this little liberal, insurgent to the GOP, dictator, to the floor.
Benito Giussolini.
"Here I am."
Rudy is NO conservative.......Romney is nominally one as a last resort for my vote anyway. FRed is the real deal conservative. Duncan the PRIMO real deal conservative.
You are thinking just like I am.
My take exactly.
ROTFLMAO! That is just too perfect, Liz!
Needs to be printed and passed around.
I'd like to be directed to any attack on Thompson.
Guy is scary.........(shiver).
