Newsmax nonsense from the OTHER Limbaugh...
Posted for your amusement, albeit not edification, here's what the VRWC is blathering about these days. Looks like at least some on the right want to strip him of his protective maverick coloration, leaving him exposed as the bare-assed fascist he is in his heart. Or maybe this is PART of his protective coloration--like maybe they're hoping a few people will think that if Rush's Pimple can't stand him, there must be something good there...

John McCain Hops on the Global Warming Train

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 8:55 AM

By: David Limbaugh

If John McCain were truly a maverick, he would publicly break from the politically correct culture that demands obedience to its global warming narrative. But sadly, he continues to do the opposite.

Liberals have denominated McCain a maverick because he has taken so many positions contradictory to his party's platform and to the conservative ideology that undergirds it. Now that he is the putative Republican nominee, you don't hear much about his maverick nature, but it's certainly not because he's changed his ways in opposing his party.

Last week, he affirmed his commitment to comprehensive immigration reform, even though earlier he stepped back from it to curry favor with conservatives. One wonders what other shoes will inevitably drop should he win the presidency, especially because he has indicated he would most likely be a one-termer.

Will he revert to his visceral revulsion to the Bush supply-side tax cuts? Many supply-siders, after taking McCain to the woodshed on the issue, assure us he can be trusted on it. If so, their efforts will redound to the benefit of the economy and nation should McCain win the election. But some of these same supply-side advocates insist we shouldn't expect him to move rightward on too many other issues.

2. I don't exactly llok to Newsmax as a source of Oracular wisdom, but
I sometimes find it interesting to see what they're up to, since they're such a reliable vehicle for whatever the VRWC is wanting to push at the moment. It's an orchestrated message, and he's playing in the brass section.
