(CNN) - GOP front-runner John McCain is cruising into Super Tuesday with a hefty lead in the polls, but he's drawing a backlash from some top conservatives who say he is too liberal to carry the Republican nomination.
Radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt and Lars Larson are among the conservative voices speaking out against the Arizona senator.
The attacks have gotten so heated that former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole Monday wrote Limbaugh defending McCain.

McCain is looking more like a Nixon Republican all the time.

Am I the only one that noticed that in almost every photo-op, Guiliani is shadowing McCain................He's on his plane, he's on his bus........Oh my god,I just got it, John Mc Cain and his wife adopted another orphan..................It's starting to freak me out...those teeth..that shiny head. He's a distraction..........send him home, please!!!!
I'm not wild about any of the three Republicans but can easily support either of them in the general election over Clinton or Obama.
McCain and Romney need to follow Obama's earlier advice and 'turn down the heat".
My big question is when Limbaugh finally climbs on the McCain bandwagon in October, will he be able to bring his drones back into the fold or will they sit out the election, feeling betrayed by both McCain and Limbaugh?

Thank you Dan from Illinois, Mitt is the right choice. To Charles, from Salt Lake...what an insult. Mitt Romney's faith is to have no bearing on how well he would perform as President. To set the record straight, LDS people do not believe that how much material wealth you have is how God sees you. We believe that material things in this world are of no matter! Yes, if you can provide a great living for your family and not have to rely on the government that is great. Is it Romney's fault that he has been successful in his life? No. He was given the smarts to know how to be successful in business. Next you are going to blame him for being white or being born a male. In our church, material things do not matter because you cannot take them with you when you die! It only matters how well you have followed the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you have endured to the end. Mayb e next time you decide to slam the church, you will have your facts straight.
McCain & Huckabee: They call good evil to get voted. McCain is weak in Economics and resorts to misinformation. Huckabee gains from the religious intolerance among Evangelicals but sits back with a smile and does nothing about it.
Conservatives and Independents need to rally behind Romney now.
How can the electorate go wrong with a guy who owes special interests nothing, lives an exemplary moral family life, works for the government for free, has the technical expertise to fix the economy and manage government spending and is a Washington outsider committed to change Washington?
If you're intent on calling good evil like McCain and Huckabee, than thumbs down to you.
The majority of Arizona does not support John Juan McCain. He is arogant and angry at anyone who disagrees with him. I wrote a letter to him explaining why immigration was personally an issue with me and basically received a letter back stating he knew better what was good for the country. If this bozo does not listen to the constituents of Arizona...he will most definately Not listen to the constituents of the United States. He has already stated he will grant amnesty to illegals and support the war for as long as it takes. Also, he stated the jobs shipped over seas are gone so he will provide training. Training in what? If we allow 22 million illgals citizenship and continue to ship our jobs offshore...what training will he provide? I have been a Republican for 20 years however if he receives the GOP..I will be voting Democrat. I voted for Mitt Romney. At least we have a chance with him.
the number of people who tune into Rush,s show every day are more than enough to turn the general election. Dont be so quick to dimiss us as lunatic fringe,, " lunatic fringe" I can live with that . It has a ring of poetry to it,,,
