They also say Huckabee is a "hard-core conservative," which couldn't be further from the truth, so I wouldn't give it too much credence. http://www.ontheissues.org/Mike_Huckabee.htm Moderate _conservative_ it says.

He keeps saying it's going to come down to Romney, Giuliani and Thompson. He's said several times, though, that Thompson is the only real conservative in the race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMZkkKLNibE Yeah, he obviously doesn’t want Huckabee or McCain to get the nomination (although he has stated explicitely that he is going to support whoever gets the nomination).

I have heard him trash Huck and McCain though.

He says the only true conservative in the race is Fred Thompson. He's said nice things about Romney, but he's also said nice things about Huckabee, Giuliani and even McCain. He's already said he's going to get behind whichever Republican gets the nomination, though. So if Romney gets the nomination Rush will be supporting him over the Democratic candidate. He'll support Giuliani, too. Rush is more of a pragmatist, and he doesn't appear to be concerned that we're going to lose the heart and soul of the Republican party if we nominate a liberal. He's convinced that a Democrat in the White House is far worse than a liberal Republican. I'm not so sure about that, though.

You've still got plenty of time to do it before November. You can only vote two months in advance, so if you register now you'll have no problems voting. How could someone who is prolife come up with a healthcare plan that covers abortions? That just doesn't make sense. He can flip after he becomes president because he's already known as a flip flopper. It won't hurt him a bit. He'll say he's personally prolife and then sign onto a whole bunch of legislation that makes abortions more widely available. National Review also endorsed Romney. For the life of me, I can't figure out why all these people are endorsing the lesser of four evils. There is a true conservative in the race (Fred), so if we're going to be led by principle we should all be supporting him (even if we think Romney has a better chance in the general election--which I doubt).

It seems like these people would know about his record. Why are they so gung-ho about him? To be honest, I'm not even registered to vote, so I won't be voting this year unless you know of a quick and easy way I can register here in Japan. In spite of all the evidence, I still think Mitt will stay pro-life if he's president. How could he suddenly switch back after making his position clear to the entire country? He'd be utterly humiliated. On the other issues, he has way more business experience than any of the other candidates, and probably would be great for the economy. You know I like to listen to Enyart's radio show, and he has been spending most of his time trashing Romney lately, and committing a little bit of time to trashing Fred and Ron Paul. He says all of them are pro-choice--state by state. Ann Coulter just endorsed Romney, as did Tom Tancredo, and even James Bopp of NRTL (although not officially).

If Romney gets the nomination I'll probably sit this election out. His pro-abortion healthcare plan and liberal stance on special rights for homosexuals are too much for me to swallow. Fred's going to get first place in SC. Just wait and see. He's the only one moving up in the polls right now. He's been campaigning harder there than anyone else, and that seems to be the recipe for winning if the other primaries are any indication. Wishful thinking, I admit it.
