Though the longtime Republican talk radio icon prefaced his comments by
noting that he doesn't "endorse during primaries," Rush Limbaugh told
listeners late this week that "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." He
also characterized most of the other candidates as being possessed of
liberal tendencies, adding that "it
was Huckabee and Rudy and Mitt Romney, because of these questions, who
were all faced with the reality -- and everybody watching saw it --
that they've got some governance in their pasts that is not conservative."
