Substitute the name of another movement, "anti-war, e.g., for "conservative" in Jeffrey Lord's column, and one begins to get the idea of what a "committed bunch of people" look like -- as the world is passing them by.

As a Navy reservist and a conservative, my principles are primarily focused on electing a President that will support the troops and the mission.

That man is clearly John McCain. Especially since the alternative is the Democrat Party's inexperienced, unqualified pacifist-appeasers.

I've listened to and have enjoyed Rush for 16 years, but his relentless criticism of a man like John McCain, who has devoted his life to his country and to the Republican Party, is appalling.

Hold "conservative icon" Mitt Romney's record under the microscope like Rush has Senator McCain's and you'll also quite a few un-conservative warts.

The only substantive difference overall is that Mitt Romney has never crossed Rush. Rush talks the talk better than anyone else, but among his flaws is an ego the size of a planet.
