I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party, it's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote. You watch

There is a real split between the economic conservatives and the social conservatives. If huckabee is the nominee, the economic conservatives will be pissed. If rudy or romney is the nominee, then a number of the social conservatives will be pissed and may support a third pary.

McCain is not trusted by a either side and it will be interesting to see if the party leadership will accept him as the nominee.

McCain and huckabee are basically in a tie for first place in South Carolina. The winner of that race may end up doing well on the Super Tuesday primaries. McCain is actually the strongest gop candidate but I am counting on the stupidity of the GOP to deny McCain the nomination.

This is amusing. http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/22/hate-radio-sad/While right-wing talkers like Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Melanie Morgan continue to spew inflammatory rhetoric to incite their base, there are increasing signs that their influence in the conservative movement is temporarily evaporating. Conservative radio host Michael Medved — who got his start guest-hosting Limbaugh’s show — wrote this recently:The big loser in South Carolina was, in fact, talk radio: a medium that has unmistakably collapsed in terms of impact, influence and credibility because of its hysterical and one-dimensional involvement in the GOP nomination fight.

For more than a month, the leading conservative talkers in the country have broadcast identical messages in an effort to demonize Mike Huckabee and John McCain. If you’ve tuned in at all to Rush, Sean, Savage, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, and two dozen others you’ve heard a consistent drum beat of hostility toward Mac and Huck. […]

In other words, the talk radio jihad against Mac and Huck hasn’t destroyed or even visibly damaged those candidates. But it has damaged, and may help destroy, talk radio.Medved’s observation can be witnessed in Limbaugh’s recent discourse about the leading Republican presidential candidates. Yesterday, Limbaugh said, “I can see possibly not supporting a Republican nominee,” adding that “it’s gonna come down to which guy do we dislike the least. And that’s not necessarily good.”

After hearing Limbaugh recently denounce the candidates as “not true conservative,” Tom Brokaw said, “It’ s one of the few times I’ve ever heard…Rush Limbaugh kind of temporarily at a loss for words.”

Back to the Topic. Peggy Noonan is NOT one of my favorite people but she is right about rush's comments here. http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.htmlOn the pundit civil wars, Rush Limbaugh declared on the radio this week, "I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys [Mr. McCain or Mike Huckabee] get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it!"

This is absurd. George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.The split between the three elements of the reagan coalition was destroyed by bush and none of the existing gop candidates have a chance of putting that coalition back together again.

I think you'd like to believe that....but there are many factors that contributed to that outcome and it's very, very close...it's not like the Dems have any Real control!
In this instance, I think you give Rush waaaay too much credit.

Back to the Topic. Peggy Noonan is NOT one of my favorite people but she is right about rush's comments here. http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.htmlThe split between the three elements of the reagan coalition was destroyed by bush and none of the existing gop candidates have a chance of putting that coalition back together again.

All the king's horses and all the king's men..huh?
Again, I think you'd like to believe that.......we will see, but there is a good chance you might be wrong.
Were you of the opinion that algore actually won too? Instead of Bush?

There is a real split between the economic conservatives and the social conservatives. If huckabee is the nominee, the economic conservatives will be pissed. If rudy or romney is the nominee, then a number of the social conservatives will be pissed and may support a third pary.

McCain is not trusted by a either side and it will be interesting to see if the party leadership will accept him as the nominee.

Well AC yellow dog is trying to put up something intelligent without a cut & paste and of course he shows his stupidity!! Ya see AC, Romney will win the nomination and then go on to the POTUS in 08, as your top dogs and I use DOG fondly when I talk of Hillary, will be exposed for what they REALLY are by summer!!

Any hopes on your part of a brokered convention by the Pubs, are pipe dreams, as I see a Romney, possibly Patraeus ticket that will save America from you Progressive sellouts and commie lovers!!

Need a child expelled back to a COMMIE country, call on the AC yellow dog divorce lawyer group in Pink Blossom TX!!:sheep:sheep:devil

Very close in 2006, but not as close as in 2000. :)

Last night Mccain hinted that he may offer the VP slot to huckabee if Huckabee stays in the race. Huckabee is hurting romney by taking evangelical voters away from Williard Mittens.

Rush mayget a ticket of McCain/Huckabee to complain about. I wonder how he will feel about such a ticket

I don't see why it would matter if McCain did make Huckabee his vp. In almost all presidencys the vp is a big nothing. His prescence would not make the religious people happy. And no one, not even me believes McCains sucking up to them. Unlike Bush, McCain is not going to share power with anyone. And I do hope Rush survives. I think he will, unless we elect Clinton.:rip

This is amusing. It sounds like rush is writing off the 2008 election and looking forward to 2012 already. However, rush is clear that the reagan coalition is dead for the 2008 elections.http://www.latestpolitics.com/blog/2008/01/limbaugh-the-base-has-fractured.htmlAt times, the talk host still seemed to have some fight in him. At other times, he seemed ready to move on. "There's going to be another election in 2012," Mr. Limbaugh said at one point.

"There's a lot of anxiety among a lot of conservatives about Senator McCain. It's simply indisputable,but there was no figure in our roster of candidates who rose up to challenge him or to galvanize conservative support. All the candidates on our side, for various reasons, are uninspiring or worse and so just as I predicted the base has fractured. Some going here. Some going there," Mr. Limbaugh said as he explained Mr. McCain's victory in Florida Tuesday night.

"Senator McCain has been able to cobble together enough votes to win in a few states. Fine. He deserves credit for that. But to pretend that Senator McCain is the choice of conservatives when exit poll data from every primary state show just the opposite--he is not the choice of conservatives as opposed to the Republican establishment, and that distinction is key," the conservative talker said. "The Republican establishment, which has long sought to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media, but both are just far-fetched and wrong."The base has indeed fractured for this cycle.

On the Today show, a republican campaign strategist commented on the fact that rush, hannity's and their ilk's rants on John McCain is not having any effect. Basically, he noted that rush and the right wing talk shows are all talk but they have no influence or effect on the gop voters.

A little of topic, but wouldn't that fact negate your argument for the Fairness Doctrine? If I remember right, you were in favor of it. If my memory serves me incorrectly I apoligize. But for those that do support it, same question.

rush's latest rant about McCain is very amusing http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/02/limbaugh-mccain.htmlABC News' Jennifer Parker Reports: Continuing his attack on Republican frontrunner Sen. John McCain, conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh devoted a significant portion of his radio show Monday to urging conservatives not to vote for the senator in tomorrow's Super Tuesday contests.

For weeks, Limbaugh has been on the attack against McCain, branding the Arizona senator a "liberal" and suggesting he would destroy the Republican Party.

On his radio show Monday Limbaugh said that if McCain is elected president, he would destroy the Republican party by working with Democrats to pass liberal legislation.

"He's going to reach out to Democrats in Congress," Limbaugh said, citing "McCain -Kennedy" and "McCain -Feingold" as examples of McCain-sponsored bipartisan legislation.

"This is how he's going to get even with Republicans for defeating him in South Carolina in 2000," Limbaugh said. "The Republican Congress will effectively be neutered."

In 2000, McCain lost South Carolina to George W. Bush, effectively killing his first presidential bid.

Limbaugh also suggested conservatives should be wary of media endorsements of McCain. McCain has won the endorsement of the New York Times.

"It was just six months ago that if a candidate was endorsed by the liberal media we were instantly suspicious of them," Limbaugh said.

Now he said, "we've got drive-by media organizations having orgasms about McCain."

The conservative radio host also lambasted Fred Barnes, editor of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard for an editorial titled "Let's Grow Up Conservatives" that urges conservatives to give McCain a chance if he continues to reach out to them.

"Fred, you used to be one of us!" Limbaugh said. "Now you seem to be all for Republicans having its liberal wing too." rush is losing it with frustration here.
