WOW! I totally missed this one. I was away from my desk after lunch on Friday and would have surely caught this otherwise.
Moderates Dominate GOP Debate; Only Fred Sounded Conservative
By Rush Limbaugh
The Rush Limbaugh Show
November 29, 2007
RUSH: It was fascinating to me, as I said, to watch this because it hit me upside the head -- even though, as I say, I instinctively knew this -- that all of the top-tier candidates, because of these questions... See, there's always a silver lining in everything. There's always an upside. Some of you might not think of this as an upside or a silver lining, but the genuine moderate as opposed to conservative aspects of three of the top-tier, four of the top-tier candidates were on full-fledged display last night. There was one candidate who did not display any moderateness or liberalism or have any of his past forays into those areas displayed, and that candidate was Fred Thompson. Now, this is not an endorsement. You know, I don't endorse during primaries. I just point out: These are things I noticed, and I've told you during the course of this one campaign year that one of the things that's bothering me, is I'm a Reagan conservative, and I believe in conservatism. It's in my soul and it's in my heart, and I know it is the best way for us to manage our affairs to ensure the most prosperity for the most, to continue our freedom, to protect our country.*snip*
For many years Rush has been the most prominent voice of the conservative movement here in America and because of that, when he speaks, people listen - or so I hope that to be the case. Even though he's not officially endorsing Thompson at this point, him pointing out Thompson's conservative qualities above the other yahoos in the debate, goes a long way towards bringing more attention to the individual best suited for the office of President. Right on, right on, right on!
