And horror of horrors, Rush Limbaugh may not support the Republican nominee this year. We sure can't have someone running that doesn't have the approval of ol Rush.McCain has Reagan’s toughness, is a Vietnam War hero, supports a strong military, and opposes pork-barrel spending, but sides with liberals on immigration, freedom of speech, taxes, environmental extremism, and other important issues. [We sure don't want someone that supports freedom of speech.]
Huckabee is a Reagan-style populist and a conservative on social issues, but is sympathetic to Goreism, and he fought conservatives on taxes, spending, immigration, and other issues when he was governor. [Oh no! Sympathetic to Goreism, whatever that is. Is it empathy for the poor? That sure isn't a Republican value.]
Romney has adopted a mostly-Reaganite platform, but he is suspect because he converted to conservatism only after serving as governor, and, besides, many conservatives see him as a probable loser in November. [At least they've got this guys number. He would change any position just to get elected.]
Ron Paul is the real straight-talker in the race, the one who stays truest to the libertarian beliefs that are, as Reagan said, “the heart of conservatism.” He is the one candidate who doesn’t confuse a strong defense with the failed policy of nation-building. But most conservatives want a powerful U.S. presence in world affairs and will never support Paul’s defense and foreign policy. In any event, Paul’s chance of getting elected, or even nominated, is infinitesimal. [Ron Paul, good candidate, but damn it.....he just really doesn't like war enough.]
But who could enter the race and get the approval of the conservatives? Jim DeMint, the most conservative member of the Senate and a complete idiot? How about George "Macaca" Allen? Too bad G.W. ruined any chances Jeb might have had to be President. Maybe we could dig up Reagans body and reanimate it? But the best bet would be to get someone to wake up Fred Thompson and get him back in the race.
