One thing I’ve noticed in recent days (especially in the build-up to the IA caucus) on Fred’s campaign site amongst my fellow FredHeads is this desire to try and convince Rush Limbaugh to endorse Fred.
While Rush has said a few kind words about Fred (and Mitt, and Rudy) and offering Huckabee the verbal equivalent of the door knob to the backside… Rush has basically said in no uncertain terms that he simply will NOT endorse a candidate until the nomination process is complete. And even that is no guarantee that he will endorse the GOP nominee (especially if said nominee is Mr. Huckabee).
Point taken - fellow FredHeads, please stop pestering Rush to endorse Fred. It ain’t gonna happen unless he proves himself by getting the nomination, and if he hasn’t listened to you by now (still no endorsement an hour into the IA caucus)… then pestering him further will make him less likely to endorse him when he gets the nomination.
So please, stop calling/emailing his show to beg for endorsements already.
But do call to put in a good and intelligent word for him where it is timely.
While I agree that Rush will not endorse Thompson, I find it bothersome that even after bashing Huckabee - that Limbaugh will support him.
To me, Rush Limbaugh loses all credibility as a conservative if he does.
So if Huckabee does pull this off, and gets the nomination I must hold my nose, and compromise everything I believe in just to keep a RINO in the White House, because that’s somehow better than four years of a Democrat?
I can’t do it. I won’t do it. I cringe at the thought.
