Rush Just Said, Maybe I Should Endorse Ron Paul

Rush on why he will not support John McCain:

"The failure of establishment republicans to uphold conservative principles in the last decade or more has resulted in the mess that they are complaining about. This mess is a result of their failures and false promises. Now they are seeking a new definition of conservatism and this new definition is not conservative because it requires an expanding government."
 
None of them can truly endorse Ron Paul favorably. Get over it, they never will - because they are not allowed to.

That said, on a personal level some talking heads support Ron Paul. Slipping in sideways comments is the best they can do given their limitations.
 
C`Mon Rush!Stop teasing us!Endorse Ron Paul and get your respectability back!

While pondering who he should endorse, Rush Just Said, Maybe I Should Endorse Ron Paul, at least he believes in The Bill of Rights.

A day late and a dollar short, Rush.

That said, it's about fucking time.....

I just sent an email to Mark Levin the other day, but I doubt he'll respond. :mad:

Ive always thought of Rush as a neocon hack, but at least he's gonna a bit of sense in him.

He actually used the full-version of the word "neocon" a few weeks ago.

He was talking about how the Conservative movement is split three ways:

"First, you've got the fiscal conservatives. These are the people supporting Mitt Romney. Next you've got the Evangelical conservatives. These are the people supporting Mike Huckabee. And finally you've got the national security conservatives..... the neoconservatives..... and these are the people supporting John McCain."

I was just incensed that he excluded Ron Paul, who is better on all three points by any objective analysis*, but I was just happy that Rush was able to get the word "neoconservative" out of his mouth. Small victories. Baby steps.....


* Better on spending and the economy. Better on freedom of religion and religious expression (albeit not on forcing a certain brand of religion down people's throats). Better on national security (albeit not on forcing a certain worldview down other sovereign nation's throats).

Now that it is practically too late, a lot of buyers remorse is setting in among conservative (and I use that term loosely) pundits.

I have read so much stuff about how great Ron Paul is today, I jsut want to go shake the authors and ask them where the hell they were a month ago.

Yup. Buyer's remorse is right.
 
Maybe the humble pie that Rush has had to eat over his drug use had made him feel a sense of his own vulnerability. Couple that with his (so far) failure to stop the McCain train, and his credibility is at an all-time low RIGHT NOW.

Endorsing Paul would be a HUGE step for him, and he might lose the network over it. I doubt he'd do it, but you never know. It would be a huge gamble for Rush, but a HUGE boost to our campaign. We could win over it, and a rising tide raises all ships...including the EIB Network.

He could even quit the Masons (he's reportedly a 33rd degree, and those people are notoriously pro-world government)....but, anything is possible...
 
Get RP on the show, 1 on 1 in the studio, would be interesting

email them and ask them to make it happen!

I agree and Rush is a smart man!

Although, I agree with rush on some of his talking points, I have always thought both he and glen beck are completely intellectually challenged.

I wouldn't put either of their IQ's in a range that might support a claim of them being considered "smart men"...but that's just my opinion.

With that being said, I do think that they hold some level of influence amongst their demographic herd.

Why is he just now saying this? Ron Paul has been talking common sense ever since God was a boy. Someone in his position has no excuse, but all the same, I'm glad to hear it. He's still a twit, however.
 
A while ago Neil Boortz was going to have Ron Paul on, but for some reason HQ or Ron decided not to at the last minute...:rolleyes:

keep plugging away pal. Good job. McCain is going to eviscerate publicly shortly with several different wings having hammers of doom poised above his campaign. Huckabee is already parroting RP one by one so it isn't noticed. There are backroom deals to knock the neocons out of the catbird seat. This is a very plastic year unlike anything ever seen. Hold onto your seats and keep plugging away at what you do best.

Best regards

I wouldn't get too excited, he said it kind of off the cuff as an aside. I did not detect any sincerity, only that he was contemplating an absurb proposition.

Contemplation is the mother of realisation.
