Limbaugh: Romney Is a 3 Legs Conservative (February 5, 2008)
Newsmax ^ | February 5, 2008 | Newsmax Staff

Posted on 11/27/2009 1:27:45 PM PST by Reaganesque

Reversing his previously stated belief that none of the Republican candidates for the GOP presidential nomination have all three legs of the conservative stool, Rush Limbaugh told his listeners Monday that Mitt Romney is indeed a three-leg conservative.

Describing the three legs as "national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives," Rush said, "The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way... The foreign policy crowd is obviously what it is. I don't think there's anybody on our side who doesn't care about national security."

...

His conclusion? "I think the one candidate of the three still out there on our side that matter (and, actually, it's just two, because Huckabee doesn't, in terms of a chance to win) is saying who more closely embodies all three legs of this conservative stool, you'd have to say that it's Mitt Romney. There's actually no choice in the matter. It certainly isn't Senator McCain."

When Rush says theres no other choice its like saying we get lesser of 2 evils again in 2012. I won’t vote lesser of 2 evil again.

Easy, you are misconstruing and miss representing what Rush said.

For the 100th time.

Well that was the defining moment that brought him to my attention. I had never paid attention to him before that.

I have become a dedicated anti Romney-ite since then.

**I won’t vote lesser of 2 evil again.**

My vote in 08 would have been much happier if McLame was the VP Candidate..

As it was...that vote raised my bloodpressure so high, I ended up with a 45 minute nosebleed.

It appears to me, that since REAGAN, the nominees of GOP have been steadily moving LEFT (kinder gentler, compassionate) IF they hold true to form... I’m almost expecting the GOP to nominate ... Olympia Snow..

A) If you look above at the heading of this thread, you will see that this is actually posted in news/activism, not “Breaking News.”

B) FR is currently posting on ALL of its threads an anti-Romney screed. As someone who knows the man and his previous policies, I have the right to defend him. The screed concludes with “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, this is the creepy smiling face of an evil butcher!” I pointed out that Rush Limbaugh told you otherwise. So, the obvious question is, who are we to trust?

But, apparently, those who hate Romney can throw around all sorts of garbage about him and those who support him but let anyone dare to point out where you are wrong and that’s “slimy.” I guess the rules are made for me and not you.

Oh, so I can misconstrue what someone else says (despite the actual quotes above) but you don’t? Yours is the only possible interpretation?

You talk so much and offer so little to support you claims.

I realize as I wrote this it is like saying water is wet...

It would make it easier on us if you would post the "garbage" so that conservatives can see if you are lying and we can support our claims, or if you are telling the truth.

Also, I just noticed that one of the keywords that someone here so graciously added to my thread reads “bishopromney.” Now, just what does that have to do with what we are discussing here? This is about Romney being a Liberal right?

Good luck with that.

Romneybots are playing Hold ‘em Poker with Old Maid cards trying to tell us they have a full hose and we should just take their word on it and give them the pot.

I’m not interpreting anything. Just reporting his actual record. I repeat, is not that the face and voice of Mitt Romney arguing for wholesale government approved murder of innocent unborn in the womb? And did he not bring forth the socialist big government RomneyCare bill and sign it into law?

Or maybe it was some phony two-faced impostor? It surely is not the work of a conservative (regardless of leg count).

And, as Ronald Reaga himself said, it is unbecoming of a Republican to attack another let alone the kinds of hysterical, dishonest attacks like the ones here on FR.

So Romney wasn't a bishop.

Add lying on his resume’ to his faults...

And Rush Limbaugh viewed the VERY SAME VIDEO and yet he came to a completely different conclusion than you did. Are you a better judge of Conservatism than Rush? Is yours the only interpretation of the evidence that matters here?

OH NO YOU DO NOT!

You will not drag Reagan in to build up that liberal two face SOB!

I had enough of the VILE CRAP during the campaign to put a never ending taste of vomit in my mouth.

Yet you will not post any examples of this stuff you claim. Is the problem, us posting pictures of Romney fund raising for Planned Parenthood for example?
