Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: The Recipe
You know, you can always tell which Republicans the Drive-By Media favors in the primaries by their fawning coverage. Their objective is to drive Republicans to a candidate sure to lose to the Democrat.
Here's a case in point: [a] Jan. 14th Washington Post article casting McCain as a sympathetic "victim" of the Republican establishment -- an iconoclast facing "payback" from political foes in his own party. Included among them are gun owners, anti-tax crusaders, anti-illegal-immigration groups, and religious activists. In other words: conservatives. McCain has proudly snubbed them all, reports The Post; he considers them "special interests." One operative advised McCain not to even "waste an ounce of time on these self-appointed" conservatives. After all, victory will shut 'em up. A McCain adviser declares: "In three or four weeks, everybody will be for McCain," reports The Post.
Now, the Drive-By coverage is the latest attempt, embraced by some candidates themselves, to redefine conservatism around a particular personality. But conservatives don't champion higher taxes, buy into the manmade global warming hoax, turn their back on the Constitution, craft amnesty deals for lawbreakers, or help liberals advance their liberal agenda at the expense of conservative principles.
A candidate who supports and articulates a vision of liberty under God; limited government; low taxes; strong national defense; and personal responsibility appeals to Americans because those conservative principles built America. And that's why it's conservatism that leads Republicans to electoral victory -- while embracing liberalism is the sure recipe for defeat.

It sounds like Rush is about to endorse Ron Paul.
He must be, because Paul is the only candidate running who encompasses all those traits.
Don't be scared, Rush. Go ahead and take the plunge.
I believe Rush likes Fred Thompson. Rush won't support Ron Paul due to his position on the Iraq war and U.S. Foreign Policy in general.
Then Rush is proving himself a hypocrite.
Fred Thompson is identical to John McCain, position for position. He doesn't even really differ all that much from Hillary. He certainly doesn't embody all those principles Rush is gurgling about.
Too bad. Rush used to actually be somebody.
For you to say that Fred Thompson is idential to John McCain and doesn't really differ from Hillary Clinton has got to be one of the silliest things I've read on this board. If you would get your head out of Ron Paul's butt long enough maybe you could see that.
Anonymous opines: "If you would get your head out of Ron Paul's butt long enough maybe you could see that."
I have to admit that line made me laugh. :-)
Simple minds are easily amused, Andy.
I think it might be anonymous whose head is firmly ensconced in someone's butt, probably his/her own. If you are so GOP blind and so willingly led about by the nose that you can't see that McCain and Thompson are identical twins, and that Thompson's positions are not substantially different than Hillary's, then the only thing I can say is, I hope you haven't reproduced and I hope you will go get yourself sterilized at the first opportunity. Do it for the children and the gene pool.
It should be noted that the only reason I didn't engage anonymous on an adult level (despite the fact that anonymous chose to engage me on a sophomoric level) is that, well, he is anonymous. That makes him a coward.
Any questions?
No need to dump on me... I thought it was a funny line. Nothing personal... :-)
Don't be so sensitive, Andy. It was a comeback. If you get your feelings hurt over stuff like that, someone is going to think you're a Democrat.
My feelings aren't hurt. The :-) face means that I was just joking. :-)
