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."

I remember Rush saying this...take a look at the date. I think the only reason he was so pro-Romney because he knew (as did most all of us) that McCain would hand Obama the presidency. At that time Romney was the only real chance to stop McCain. So Rush probably felt like the rest of us...Romney sucks, but McCain sucks more, and Obama sucks the most!
AMEN!!!!!
Show it.
With actual proof, not feelings and supposition.
Go on, we have been doing this for months now.
His 3rd moment was bowing to the MA Supreme court and instituting gay marriage by executive order.
He will never be president, IMO. Too much of a manicured neutical.
Still had/have a lot of trouble with his ROMNEYCARE ...Obamacare in a nicer suit...but
Oh, you mean that’s not the real Mitt Romney in that video? Sure looks like him. Sounds like him too.
He’s a baby murdering butcher! How many abortions were performed in Massachusetts as that grinning evil bastard laughed about it with his socialist pal Teddy Kennedy?
Epic fail, Slick Willardbot.
No matter what Romney says his health care plan in Massachusetts is the kind of stool that has no legs. Someone with that legacy should have no future in the Republican party no matter what else he believes or does.
Come play with the Slick Willardbot troll, kids. No mercy. ;-)
Slander? Romney speaks for himself. I didn’t put the words in his mouth. I didn’t sign the socialist RomneyCare bill.
Face it, Romney is a socialist butcher!!
I have a lot of friends, and even some family members, whom I like and will continue to like, yet would never vote for them for public office, much less president.
If Romney is your friend, fine. I’m sure he has a lot of good qualities. But he is NOT a conservative.
Healthcare, abortion, gay marriage. Even his one great and constantly advertised success—saving the Salt Lake City Olympics—was little more than a federal bailout.
DON”T FEED THE LLORT.
I’m just as guilty, but
Romneybots are almost as bad as the RonpaulKOOKS and the BIRTHERS,
so the broad brush of LLORT applies IMHO
exactly, Rush was wrong on Bush as well
So, we should ignore Rush Limbaugh on this and stick with your opinion? Is he in on the “evil plot?”
Considering it’s almost 2 years old, the poster appears to be a romney-BOT pushing his RINO propaganda via Rush’s comment. Considering our choices at that time, it’s pretty pathetic.
If you do, are you claiming he did not impose gay marriage
and socialized medicine without a vote by the citizens?
or do you just ignore it when you "defend" him?
Are you claiming he did not put in liberal murderer-freeing judges
passing over GOP candidates?
or do you just ignore it when you "defend" him?
Romney doesn’t pass the RINO test. Sorry friend.
This was, what, a week before Romney did the whole I like mandates, mandates work? Thank you for reminding us that Rush can be fooled. I don’t have any need for a RINO who thinks that government is the answer and not the problem.
