Dole scolds Limbaugh (Politico.com)
Bob Dole, the former Senate Republican leader, wrote an insistent letter to Rush Limbaugh on Monday and suggested that for the good of the party, the conservative talk-show host should stop his strafing of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
On Monday’s show, Limbaugh asserted that McCain has “lied about his reason for opposing the Bush tax cuts,” and added: “I think McCain has an animus toward the Republican Party. I think ever since South Carolina 2000 he’s had it in for the Republican Party, and one of his objectives is to destroy it and change it.”
From what I have seen around on Conservative Blogs, if McCain gets the nod from the G.O.P, many Conservatives will stay home. From what they say, there’s really no “real” Conservative running.
The problem is, Conservative’s keep holding the Candidates up to the Reagan Conservative bright light. Which is, in my opinion, quite stupid! Whatever happened to REAL conservatives like Barry Goldwater? Who told Jerry Falwell and his ilk to get bent and stay out of his way? who didn’t pander to the Church crowd and the many other Conservative special interest groups?
I just don’t get it.
