C or D.
Why is it obvious?
Strangely, I was going to post that same thing to you, but I see that you have just done the very thing.
Oh, well.
McCain/Thompson
Right.
Good FReeping, checking out the poster before responding...:)
Thank you for your post. No sarcasm. - Bill
You’re more than welcome. Take care.
FRed Thompson/J.C.Watts!
Read my tagline...
The problem with the thread isn't which Team I support ... as near as I can see there's only one Team running ... and I'd rather be lit on fire than see them back.
The problem, if you are a n00b, is that your first post is a vanity ... not an auspicious start ... if you're not a n00b, I'll go back to my original theory existing member who is too embarrassed to post it under his/her own screen name.
On the question of who I support .. that's posted elsewhere on this board ... feel free to do a search.
Thompson/Romney ‘08!
Maybe, because he works for a campaign, or the MSM, and wants to use the (skewed) results in a hit piece?
None of the above, I am a conservative.
I see a ZOT in your future.
None of the above.
With respect, what are you talking about, Rush's "power"? The man has never sought power or wielded it -- his humility precludes his ability to even try. All he does is faithfully reflect the same kind of common-sense conservative political thinking that I embrace, and it's why I've been listening to him pretty well consistently since the early 1990s. Meanwhile, I've sampled for various periods of time Hugh Hewitt, Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved, Dennis Miller, and Sean Hannity, and after anywhere from a few months to a few years, they eventually have revealed themselves as missing the real point of conservatism, in my book, but assuming a mantle of authority with little humility and certainly like self-described king-makers, a failing I'd have a hard time guarding against as well, in their situation. All the more reason why I admire Rush so much.
While I often find Rush annoying and moody and will skip him for a week or two at a time simetimes, those moods are always regarding cosmetic things; the principle remains undisturbed because it is a core thing that he doesn't just believe -- he understands the dignity of conservatism.
The actual power is with we the listeners. As it happens, Rush's thinking resonated with millions and millions and has stayed resonant. We're the ones that put him there, not the other way around.
