I’m glad to see this. One of the biggest complaints I have against the conservatives of Talk Radio, is that they sat silent while the republicans decided who they were going to choose because they did not want to influence the vote.
At the very least they could have said these are conservative principles and these are the candidates who uphold these principles. These are the liberal principles and these are the candidates who uphold those principles. If some complained they were being treated unfairly, have them on the show and grill them.
Instead we got RINO after RINO pretending to be conservative. As the real conservatives were pushed out, the radioheads sat silent and eventually, only the RINOs were left. The conservatives of talk radio do an injustice to their listeners when they don’t stand up for conservative principles, when they just wait to see who wins. If all the republicans running were conservative, that tactic might work. But where there are RINOs in conservative clothing, they need to be ferreted out and exposed.
I hope Rush and others can see this as well and I hope we don’t have a replay of 2008 in 2012.
That's the truth, brother! I remember well how I ranted and raved on this board because Rush, Sean, and the other Conservative talkers (except Mark Levin) refused to lift a finger to help Duncan Hunter get at least some radio time until it was way too late. And all because of some higher ideal of not wanting to support one candidate over another (Sena was busy shilling for Giuliani at the time).
Mark for his part tried to help Hunter as best he could, but without Rush putting his firepower behind him, it was hopeless.
