Rush Asking Who is Most Conservative in Republican Field

[WilliamC]

Rush about to endorse Ron Paul? Probably not. But he's talkiing about who is the most Conservative person running for the Republican nomination. He's said it isn't Huckabee, earlier said it isn't McCain, but he's not quite yet saying who he thinks it is.

Taking a break right now...about to come back on.

[Real_CaGeD]

Fill in host the other day said good things about Dr. Paul.

[moostraks]

Well....

[michaelwise]

It depends on his definition of conservative.

[daviddee]

...

[WilliamC]

He's back on...reading email claiming there is no true conservative in the race. Rush explaining why we need a real conservative...

[LibertyEagle]

He was gushing about Mitt a few weeks ago.

[WilliamC]

Bashing states that have elected democratic governors

[smhbbag]

His answer, if he even gives one, will be Thompson.

He's back on...reading email claiming there is no true conservative in the race. Rush explaining why we need a real conservative...

I'm sure he will never endorse paul. The only other candidate that is even remotely conservative is Fred. So, there you go.

[WilliamC]

I'm guessing he will say Romney too. But just maybe...?

[Janet0116]

Yeah, Thompson will be his answer, I bet.

I am seriously worried about Thompson. I think he might be the Republican 'surprise' in Iowa and steal a lot of our thunder.

Rush saying social and fiscal conservatism both equally important

Rush is full of crap. No such thing as a "social conservative".

[Real_CaGeD]

The fill in said Paul was the "real conservative". Maybe he was breaking the ice.

[Cleaner44]

Rush was whining a year ago about losing so many seat to Dems in the last election. He said GOP had lost its way and forgot their roots. Hannity said much of the same. Now of course they are all backing the same Neocon position candidates and rejecting the true conservative.

[revolutionbracelet]

this looks good, hopefully its real

hasn't rush talked about Romney changing his positions before?

[WillInMiami]

Rush will NEVER say who he likes. He doesn't "endorse" candidates. He may talk bad about some but he won't say the name that's on his mind...

PS. I've been a Rush listener for years. I even have an active subscription to his site and monthly news-letter...

Well if he specifically mentions others as NOT being conservative (and he has today with mccain and huckabee) then hopefully his listeners are intelligent enough to listen between the lines.

[The Only Woj]

outside of Paul, I'd say this is a toss-up between Thompson and Hunter

[Spirit of '76]

He was gushing about Mitt a few weeks ago.

Mitt Romney pays Rush Limbaugh's salary.

Romney is chief stakeholder in Bain Capital, LLC. Clear Channel Communications is a subsidiary of Bain Capital, LLC. Rush's EIB network is a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications.

So is Premiere Radio Networks, which broadcasts Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.

[WilliamC]

Turn on your Radio....??? :D:D:D

radio? isn't that like tv sorta, 'cept without the pretty pictures?

Shrewd move by Mitt, buy up the pundits radio stations.

Now if Ron Paul can just win the listeners ;)

[WilliamC]

let's see what he says now...

[WilliamC]

he's claiming to be correct, what a surprise...claiming to be getting it from all sides....replaying a previous call...?

[WilliamC]

ah, rush did imply he isn't for "northeast republican's" missed that the first time

[rp08orbust]

If he says abortion can only be changed via Supreme Court, then it isn't Ron, who prefers a legislative act to remove it from federal jurisdiction.

[slamhead]

did he just cut off a Ron Paul supporter?

[WilliamC]

back to abortion and what a president can do

supreme court is the only substantive thing

can try to change hearts and set example other thing

[WilliamC]

did he just cut off a Ron Paul supporter?

not that I heard

[IHaveaDream]

Rush will NEVER back Ron Paul. Limbaugh is fascinated by war. Get used to it.

[OptionsTrader]

You will lose Rush on the war. Period.

[Karsten]

HE JUST IMPLIED HE COULDN'T SUPPORT RON PAUL. "I can't support anti-war rhetoric that sounds like it was written by Nancy Pelosi"

[WilliamC]

now back to advocating conservative principles and his lifelong support of them

won't put aside his principles aside for any single issue

[itshappening]

he is trashing Huckabee, that's good

[Karsten]

Why does everybody continue to dream that Rush will endorse Ron?????

[rp08orbust]

supreme court is the only substantive thing



He's a boob.

[WilliamC]

HE JUST IMPLIED HE COULDN'T SUPPORT RON PAUL. "I can't support anti-war rhetoric that sounds like it was written by Nancy Pelosi"

dammit someone just asked me a question and I missed that!

[Ron2Win]

C'mon Rush, spill it out already....

[rp08orbust]

Why does everybody continue to dream that Rush will endorse Ron?????

Would you rather we go back to dreaming about 1st in IA? LOL

[OptionsTrader]

Why does everybody continue to dream that Rush will endorse Ron?????

It's not a deam, it's votes. But we ain't gonna get Rush b/c of the war.

[Karsten]

he just doesn't like any of them. deal with it.

[daviddee]

...

[cska80]

These so called conservative hosts are not really conservatives. If they would rather bury a candidate who stands for 99% of their issues which they've been waiting for for so long, just because the candidate doesn't support their war...I'd say that exposes them for what they are. America first, the rest of the world comes second. Even if I were for the war, if I were a conservative, it wouldn't matter and I'd support Paul.

[Karsten]

if he would endorse duncan hunter that would split the pro war vote evenly 6 ways :)

[revolutionbracelet]

lets email him

[WilliamC]

most frustrating thing about republican primary is...going back to goldwater...back to 1980....regan won two landslides folllowed by 1994 house takeover..

current republicans want to ignore these results

Ron Paul doesn't, he talks about these same positions

[Myerz]

He's not going to do it......he just said so.!

[Spirit of '76]

HE JUST IMPLIED HE COULDN'T SUPPORT RON PAUL. "I can't support anti-war rhetoric that sounds like it was written by Nancy Pelosi"

That could just as easily have been a stab at the Huckster. A lot of prominant neoconservative pundits, some of the guys at Redstate.com included, recently took Huckabee to task for criticizing Bush's handling of the war using leftist rhetoric. Redstate even pointed out that Ron's criticism of the war is from a conservative viewpoint.

Rush said that?

[WilliamC]

still not saying names...just droning on about issues and beating liberals by being conservative

some candidaets trying to redefine conservatism

[itshappening]

he's going on about Reagan send him the Reagan quotes !!

[Real_CaGeD]

lol, one.

[Ron2Win]

There "may be one"

[daviddee]

...

[WilliamC]

Rush said that?

sorry he didn't say the ron paul part typing too fast for my own good

[OptionsTrader]

You don't need to send the man quotes of Reagan. Please.

[Karsten]

There "may be one"

Boy I wonder who? He's NOT going to endorse anybody so just deal with it.

[daviddee]

(commercial break)

[curtisag]

The big news here is that Rush is blasting Huckabee and exposing him as a false conservative. This will have an effect.

[PMatt]

I got my hopes up when he said "there may be one." He hasn't said the one yet though.

[WilliamC]

talking against single issue voters...says he won't comprimise...


me speaking
I find it most interesting Rush doesn't seem to call out Ron Paul like he does some of the other candidates. I could just be naive though

[Real_CaGeD]

This is pretty good for us. He blasted McCain as well as Huck.

Could you imagine if he said Ron Paul is the true conservative, like his fill in host did.

[paulitics]

Yeah, Thompson will be his answer, I bet.

I am seriously worried about Thompson. I think he might be the Republican 'surprise' in Iowa and steal a lot of our thunder.

me too.

[slamhead]

Why did he cut that caller off?

[itshappening]

The big news here is that Rush is blasting Huckabee and exposing him as a false conservative. This will have an effect.

as well as general disdain with the candidates - that will lower turnout :cool:

[tesseract]

Has he bashed Thompson yet?

[Ron2Win]

He is right there, I can feel him looking down the Ron Paul cliff. He is almost taking the plunge.

I think if anyone called him now about Ron Paul he would endorse him.

[daviddee]

...

[moostraks]

Ok...so who do you think he was eluding to being the Reagan conservative??? He said there wasn't one then recanted...So?? who?? from his p.o.v.???:confused:

[OptionsTrader]

Ok...so who do you think he was eluding to being the Reagan conservative??? He said there wasn't one then recanted...So?? who?? from his p.o.v.???:confused:

Romney.

[Mortikhi]

He wants to endorse Dr. Paul because for those juicy prescriptions.

[Spirit of '76]

The big news here is that Rush is blasting Huckabee and exposing him as a false conservative. This will have an effect.

He first torpedoed Huck two weeks ago when an anonymous member of Huck's staff called him a "mouthpiece for the Beltway-Manhattan axis".

[WilliamC]

The big news here is that Rush is blasting Huckabee and exposing him as a false conservative. This will have an effect.

exactly. Him speaking against other candidates is almost better than speaking for Ron Paul. He's already bashed Huckabee and McCain by name, said he isn't like "northeast republicans" (me speaking guiliani and rommney fit).

As far as I can tell he hasn't bashed or implied a bash against Thompson or Paul.

[Ron2Win]

Why did he cut that caller off?
They were up against the break

[Ron2Win]

He wants to endorse Dr. Paul because for those juicy prescriptions.
Personal freedom.

[WilliamC]

oh well, he's moving on to bashing democrats.

That rush, what a tease

[Real_CaGeD]

Personal freedom.

Is true conservatism.

[Spirit of '76]

He is right there, I can feel him looking down the Ron Paul cliff. He is almost taking the plunge.

I think if anyone called him now about Ron Paul he would endorse him.

He's not going to endorse Ron. You can bet the farm on that.

The most we can hope for is that he doesn't trash him.

[moostraks]

Romney.

Booooo!!!

[Just Come Home]

Lame. I can't believe I tuned into this useless blowhard.

[WilliamC]

Romney.

rommney is one of the "northeast republicans" that rush said he couldn't support because they aren't both fiscally and socially conservative

[itshappening]

hehe Rush going on about oil and getting distracted about Hillary

ask him what the oil price was before his beloved iraq war

[Ethek]

Personal freedom.

If he even utters Ron Pauls name Rush knows that he'll come home to Karl Rove sitting in a high wingbacked chair to tell him hes been blacklisted.

[moostraks]

rommney is one of the "northeast republicans" that rush said he couldn't support because they aren't both fiscally and socially conservative


See, this is what I was thinking...that is what Romney and Guliani remind me of...

[itshappening]

he's just pumping up Clinton now (boring)

time to turn off

OOH LOOK! I HATE HILLARY... SO IM GOING TO GIVE HER LOADS OF PUBLICITY

similar to fox news, they really love her.

[Cyclone177]

I heard Rushbo going on and on about how there is no Reagan-esque conservative running.... And then he paused and said, Well maybe one. But didn't elaborate. I wanted to scream at the fat f*c&. ITS RON PAUL RETARD. Oh, well. Hopefully people can read between the lines. And at least he is bashing the shit out of Huckster. I know Iowans love them some Rush.

[scooter]

I don't want an endorsement from him.

But him trashing all the other candidates is excellent! The neocons will feel like they have no choice and won't turn out.

[t3rmin]

Look on Rush's webpage. Little section "Rush on Romney" -- all really positive stuff.

[slamhead]

I sent him and email pointing out that he is wrong about conservatives not being anti-war. Pointed out Reagan's 1964 speech to the national convention.

[rollingpig]

giuliani?:D

[Real_CaGeD]

Rush is on his Islamo war wagon.

[Mani]

So who's left that he hasn't bashed? (Implying Guiliani and Mitt are part of the NorthEastern group).

Paul, Thompson, and Hunter?

[daviddee]

...

[LibertiORDeth]

Does conservative=Neo-Con?

[OptionsTrader]

Does conservative=Neo-Con?

Youbetcha.

[moostraks]

Look on Rush's webpage. Little section "Rush on Romney" -- all really positive stuff.

Yep...went and saw his comparison from Huckabee to Perot. At least it is not us (this time)!!!

As for the picture of Mitt it looks like he should be hosting a game show....Lol!!
Guess he thought it would be flattering for the ladies. Some of us are brighter than that Rushbo....

[VoluntaryMan]

Rush has already given a soft endorsement to Fred. That's fine with me: it will only hurt Paul's other opponents -- if it has any impact at all. Back when Rush still had possession of his testicles (circa 1992) he actually endorsed Buchanan as a protest vote against the elder Bush's globo-socialism. Of course, that was before he was invited by Bush to spend the night in the White House, and was subsequently taken under the wing of such famous neoclowns as Buckley and Kissinger. Rush is about 16 years past his expiration date.

[daviddee]

...

[Ethek]

Not sure if you have the control diagram drawn correctly :)

Rush could have a large majority of the Republican party removed from office if he wanted to.

My diagram has Cheney and his presidential power grabbing friends and attorneys at the top paired with Bush Sr and his NWO co-horts. Bush Jr. and his buddy rove right under that as puppets.

[VoluntaryMan]

Yep...went and saw his comparison from Huckabee to Perot. At least it is not us (this time)!!!

Maybe getting off the painkillers has given Rush enough of his marbles back to pick his battles more wisely. Time will tell.

[slamhead]

You would think Rush would want a government that cannot poke into your medical records.

[itshappening]

Romney's father was an anti-war Republican, he spoke out against the "brainwashing" of vietnam and it cost him the nomination

I really hope in one of the debates Ron Paul quotes that and asks if anyone on the stage recognizes it.

[daviddee]

...

[pilby]

he won't say anything good about RP because as one of his issues on which the Republican candidates are proving they're not conservative was "spouting anti-war talking points that sound like they were written by Nancy Pelosi"

Screw Rush! IM don't listen to him anymore! I'm a Republican, My fellow Republicans called Me and Republican RP supporters kooks, nuts and ect.

If RP losses this thing i'll be damn if I'm going to vote for a Republican for Pres or anything else.

I'll be damn if I'M going to vote for a Republican when the party members (Republicans) called me names and trashed a fellow Republican running for Pres



I have a fealing that if RP losses this thing most of the Ron Paul Republicans will go and vote for the Republican who won the Primarys for Pres. For Me theres just no way I can do that, its my pride and my principles thats at stake here!

You would think Rush would want a government that cannot poke into your medical records.

You may have tapped into the only reason he hasn't (yet?) come out fiercely against Dr. Paul.:D Unless he's actually about to publicly repent for his neocon sellout -- which I doubt.

[JS4Pat]

These so called conservative hosts are not really conservatives. If they would rather bury a candidate who stands for 99% of their issues which they've been waiting for for so long, just because the candidate doesn't support their war...I'd say that exposes them for what they are.

[markj]

Yes, a Ron Paul write in is exactly what I will do if we do not win the nomination.

[WilliamC]

Another caller trying to say Huckabee is a true conservative, rush disagreeing saying Huckabee supports open borders and amnisty.

At least rush is bashing huck.

maybe that's why he doesn't have ron paul callers on, so he doesn't have to bash them?

[Nyte]

Who is this Huckabee supporter? Does he even know the definition of conservatism?

[WilliamC]

ending program saying you have to look at what someone has done, not what they say they will do.

[mjp1025]

Rush is a war-loving NeoCon...the Doctor would be his LAST endorsement on the GOP side.

[Nyte]

Rush is a war-loving NeoCon...the Doctor would be his LAST endorsement on the GOP side.

Well hopefully with all this Huckabashing today, Huckabee would be his last endorsement.

If he ensorsed Huck before Paul, he's lose whatever credibility he's got left.

[Nyte]

"True conservatism is balancing budgets by cutting government."

Lol... then he ends the show.

Well rest assured THIS Republican won't be voting for one of those other GOP candidates. Luckily - we shouldn't have to worry about that! :)

[Nyte]

It's probably the closest we'll get to a Paul endorsement.

At least he's endorsing the message.

[WilliamC]

as far as I can tell only thompson and paul consistently talk like this.

Well, rush won't endorse anyone but hopefully he's making folks think along the lines Ron Paul advocates

[mjp1025]

May very well be, Nyte. As much as I despise Rush, he does have some pull.

[JMO]

Rush has never said a good thing about Ron Paul and has said negatively about him everytime Ron Paul has been discussed. He is more likely to endorse the devil than Paul.

[jblosser]

As much as I agree with those saying that the MSM pundits are not going to support Ron, there is an expiration date on that. These people are entertainers first and foremost, and they don't have opinions, they have ratings. There will come a time when Ron is winning and they will ALL change their tune, because they have to be right, and they have to keep their ratings. As much as they trash her while she has a D, if Hillary ever somehow was running as an R they'd promote her along with the others without a second thought.

Even Rush will drink the Ron Paul Kool-Aid eventually. It's only a question of when.

[dshields]

just do a ron paul write in

+1

[1000-points-of-fright]

Rush won't openly endorse a candidate during the primary race. He'll make his comments on who he doesn't like but he won't come right out and say who he supports. Once the GOP nominee is chosen he'll back them 110% against the Dems in the general. That way he can't be wrong and still be a "true conservative".

If RP wins (or even looks like he's sure to win) the nomination, Rush will back him as if he's been on our side the whole time.

[Meatwasp]

Rush will NEVER say who he likes. He doesn't "endorse" candidates. He may talk bad about some but he won't say the name that's on his mind...

PS. I've been a Rush listener for years. I even have an active subscription to his site and monthly news-letter...

I have listened to Rush the first day he came on KFBk in Sacramento. He endorsed Pat Buchanan. After that he lied and said he doesn't endorse or never endored anyone.

[maeqFREEDOMfree]

Rush about to endorse Ron Paul? Probably not. But he's talkiing about who is the most Conservative person running for the Republican nomination. He's said it isn't Huckabee, earlier said it isn't McCain, but he's not quite yet saying who he thinks it is.

Taking a break right now...about to come back on.


i thought the same at first... will be interesting to see what ends up happening

[musicmax]

Rush will NEVER say who he likes. He doesn't "endorse" candidates.

Didn't he endorse Steve Forbes the year Dole got the nom?
