Um…today Rush implied that there was no real difference between some of the Republicans running for president (he didn’t name names but you know who he meant) and Clinton and if the country was going to be destroyed, he’d rather it be under a Democrat than a Republican.

MORT KONDRACKE: Look, McCain is not inevitable by a long shot. He got 30 percent of the conservative vote in South Carolina. He . . . did not carry Republicans in South Carolina. He won because of independents and moderates and liberals, to the extent that there are any.
So he’s got to prove somewhere that he can win the support of Republicans and conservatives. And so far, he has not proved that. . . .
FRED BARNES: [I]t will take a lot of work by John McCain convincing conservatives that he is one of them. He’ll have to repudiate what he has done not in the last year, but the seven years before that, which was sort of to poke ’em in the eye and develop ties to Democrats. . . .
MARA LIASSON: I think winning Florida would be a very important thing for John McCain and that will help some people get over their McCain problem. Not all of them, but he doesn’t need all of them.
KONDRACKE: And if Hillary is the nominee, that will help. If you’re Rush Limbaugh, would you rather have John McCain or Hillary Clinton?

I’m sorry but we aren’t to that point yet and that these guys even have to make the case shows you how much trouble McCain is going to have getting the nomination. And how much trouble he will have in the general.
In the same vein, I saw this and laughed:

If Thompson was supposed to be the next Ronald Reagan (for reasons other than being a former actor), perhaps McCain is the one that can bridge the two camps of the Republican Party and create a big tent once again. Moreover, how ironic would that be if it were McCain that was able to bring conservative Christians and the Rockefeller Republicans together once again?

Yeah, McCain is going to bring us all together in one big happy McCain coalition. *snicker* If conservatives vote for McCain in November it will be because Clinton brought us together, not McCain. And I say “if” because many of us conservatives are thinking about sitting this one out or voting for a third party because we don’t see too much difference between Clinton and McCain.
