He seemed to be the most conservative of them all and is a no BS kind of guy. I don't think his age helped him though, which is another reason McCain shouldnt be prez. Isn't he 72ish? Isn't life expectancy is 78 now? He should be playing golf and eating early bird specials in Florida. Larry-your article is full of labels. You should practice what you preach. thats why I liked Fred. He seemed to be the most conservative of them all and is a no BS kind of guy.

He'd have 4-8 years of bashing Hill, 3$Bill and the Clintonistas. It would be too easy. They make themselves a target with their royalty act and above-the-law behavior. Not so sure Obama bashing would work out so well for Rush. If Obama conitunes to take on this Kennedy-esque role of the New Camelot, Rush will be reluctant to bash Obama until his first $1B feel good legistation goes through. The real problem for Rush is finding a Republican to support. McCain is far too liberal. He's leading on name recognition, reputation and his surge support. In reality, he represents the worst chance for the Repubs. His swarmy, chippy style may work against Romney but he'll be exposed on all the issues in a run against the Dems. Everyone is endorsing him now because they see him as the eventual candidate. I can see why real, conservative Repubs like Rush would shy away from McCain. He's spent to much time in Congress, he's part of the problem in DC and he's more of a Republicrat. Huckabee is a Gomer Pyle joke and has no chance. Guliani was to flawed and liberal. Romney has flip-flopped to much. Find Rush a good, conservative Republican or an electable moderate and he'll jump all over him! Maybe exposing the Democrats and the Robin Hood tactics for 4 years will be best for America. It sure would for Rush!

His primary interest is the radio biz. I used to think Hannity was a political purist but he ambushed a lib on his show a few years back and it became evident that the business end was more important than the politics. Smerconish seems to be classed as a conservative because of his spot on the otherwise right leaning talk format at the station. He's a lot more in the center than most folks there.

Howard Dean made a big mistake in that regard, especially since his "punishment" against the two states won't stick. As far as those of you labeling me a "liberal"-- don't try to label me.

Unfortunately, Ann Coulter has already stated she would vote for Hillary rather than McCain. Whether she counts as conservative or just plain nuts, well, that is a different issue. However, I am afraid that the so-called "conservative" movement is so intent on having their way, they are willing to set the GOP back for years rather than have an independent-minded Republican in the White House. “If you think Limbaugh( or any conservative) wants a democrat,you are nuts.”

If you think Limbaugh( or any conservative) wants a democrat,you are nuts. More taxes,terrorism treated like a crime,lberal judges. Oh yea, our idea of a good time. George Bush spent like a drunken democrat, but we haven't been attacked since 2001. By the way, I'm not a fan of McCainiac either.There isn't a real conservative left on our side. Of the two, I prefer Romney. At least he isn't a modern day reincarnation of captain Queeq. Ah Larry, spoken like a real democrat.

Do you notice the marching orders to silence the conservative radio commentators.It even goes so far as to have college students picket any conservative speakers but when a far out liberal speaks they say we should be able to listen based on their freedom of speech. Concerning the upcoming election, do we really want Obama with absolutely no experience, and a very sad senate voting record. He does have a slick talent of using slogans instead of details. Now about Hillary, her foreign policy would be to make no decisions but would probably ask the United Nations to solve our problems. That way we could not blame the Clintons for making any mistakes.I guess we can sleep better if we allow the UN to have our best interests under its rule.

Dr. Dean has restored the party. The problem with Florida and Michigan is that they can not follow the rules established a year before their primaries. For a so called law and order guy, you can sure take cheap shots when you want. Your comments about Howard Dean are unjustified. Dr. Dean has restored the party.

Everyone is an expert these days. I also think that if a democrat gets in office Rush Limbaugh's career will get a boost. What I don't agree with is that Rush is full of self importance. If you took the time to listen to his show, you would realize he is full of sarcasm (my favorite kind of humor) I'm not on here insulting Al Franken or Oprah Winfrey because they support the other side, I'm simply saying that Larry Kane is wrong about a few things. Smerconish is not a true conservative and Hannity certainly does not want McCain in office. Why is McCain considered a "progressive" and not an independent? He sure votes like one. Rush Limbaugh will have plenty to talk about even if a republican gets in office, he still has congress! I agree. Everyone is an expert these days.
