Time Text
And greetings once again, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists.
All across the fruited plain, this the number one most listened to radio talk show in America, the Rush Limbaugh program.
I am your host, a highly trained broadcast specialist, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today.com.
Still suffering the ravages of the common cold virus.
The ravages of that virus have been tempered considerably by uh by the Zycam swabs.
This is as bad a chest cold as I have ever had.
You know, the kind of congestion in there that when you cough, it feels like you're just being stabbed with a with a knife.
And the stuff started loosening up even Sunday night when it was in the progress of worsening, process of worsening.
Uh now I gotta go through this whole week-long process of uh blowing the nose and the congestion and all that sort of stuff.
So I apologize.
There will apparently occasionally be hacking coughs that I will not be able to mute uh and uh and other things.
So please bear with me.
I decided what would be better to stay home and not subject you to this or to show up as a professional and uh and do the program while not 100%.
And I figured that uh obviously the latter uh would be the best course of action.
Now, let me explain my Obama comment.
I know Obama said the troops' lives are wasted.
I know he said all I know I made his presidential announcement.
I know he spoke in platitudes.
But uh the best way for me to describe this is I it's something I think Carl Rove said.
This whole process has begun too so soon.
These all these candidates are going to end up as caricatures before all this is is done with and over with.
And I've I have a much greater concern, frankly, than Obama or Hillary or whoever else, at this point in time, at this stage of the game.
And then I I alluded to this in the first hour of the program.
And is this there's a big move underway to redefine conservatism in a way that fits the candidacy of one or other of the Republican candidates.
Uh what's happening here is they're conflating electability with a serious discussion of conservatism.
And most of it's coming from the New York and Washington, D.C. conservative elite.
Uh and and none of these candidates is a is a is a down-the-wall, down the list conservative.
And the supporters of these candidates are trying, well, that's that's okay.
Conservatism bends and shapes.
Conservatism uh it has to uh ebb and flow uh because there is no Reagan, of course.
Uh I don't know why you you can back a candidate without pretending they're true conservatives, but trying to say your guy's a true conservative is what offends me and what bothers me because we start watering down and redefining conservatism, then it doesn't matter who the Democrats nominate.
Uh you know, it it's it's uh we we made this mistake with Bush.
Well, a lot of us did, attempted to define him as a conservative when he wasn't a conservative.
He was conservative on some issues, but he was not a conservative.
And and the same mistake is in the process of being made now.
Uh you know, we we will never get to where we need to be with uh with situational politics.
Uh if if we if we're gonna take a candidate that we like and say this guy is the best we can do, conservative wise, we're never going to advance conservatism this way.
We may be advancing the Republican Party, although I don't think that's gonna be the uh the case either.
Uh it's it's uh we we you can back these people without saying they are conservatives or redefining conservatism.
Left never never redefines liberalism.
Uh they they talk about their leaders as unique?
Do they talk about FDR as a once-in-a-lifetime liberal?
No.
There are no once-in-a-lifetime liberals.
They never they never smash their icons or try to diminish uh their icons.
Uh they don't they don't try to take their great libs of the past and say that there was only one of them, which is uh what the mistake some conservatives are making here, that there was only one Reagan and there can never be another one.
And it's this attitude that leads to a perpetual uh attitude of secondary status.
And that that concerns me far more than what Obama, Obama happens to be saying, because frankly, what Obama's saying is predictable.
Obama's no more qualified to be president than any of you people are.
He's been in the Senate a year and a half, a year, whatever, two years.
Illinois legislature before that.
Look at some of the things this guy has supported and voted on, and then compare it to his words, and he's a full-fledged 100% class A liberal.
And they're trying to mask the.
See, this is what the libs do with liberals is they try to they try to camouflage and mask them so that you won't know who they are.
Present them as something other than that.
But they don't redefine what liberalism is in the in the in the process, because once these libs get elected, it's uh it's you know, pedal to the metal liberalism.
But since so many of you are interested in Obama, let's start.
I've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
I was given eleven Obama bites today.
Eleven Obama.
So let's let's get rolling.
Let's start with Saturday in Chicago, a portion of Senator Barack Obama's announcing his candidacy for president.
That is why.
In the shadow of the old state capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live.
I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for president of the United States of America.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
So what do we have here?
Uh, in the shadow of the old state capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together.
Where common hopes and common dreams.
Does he realize, you know, quoting Lincoln's not going to really help with the Jesse Jackson crowd?
Well, let's let's uh let's move on.
We don't have a whole lot of time for this.
Here is a montage of uh uh some of his remarks during his candidacy announcement.
And I just again, you know, whether we're being told this guy's brand new.
He's unique, fresh.
Well, we haven't heard this before.
This is something historic.
Tell me what's new here.
Let's recruit a new army of teachers and give them better pay.
Let's make college more affordable.
Let's invest in scientific research.
Let's lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities.
Let's make it possible for hardworking Americans to save for retirement.
Let's allow our unions and their organizers to lift up this country's middle class again.
Let's be the generation that ends poverty in America.
Every single person willing to work should be able to get job training that leads to a job and earn a living wage.
Let's be the generation that says right here, right now, we will have universal health care in America by the end of the next president's first term.
Yay, yay, I'm all for it.
Goody goody gum drops.
Okay, want to go through this?
Let's go through this.
Let's recruit a new army of teachers and give them better pay.
That's really new.
Let's make college more affordable.
Yeah, well, you mean like the Senate is going to do here by making more of the uh tuition uh deductible.
It's just gonna allow your college professor buddies Barack to raise tuition.
You know what this little game is all about.
College more affordable.
Let's make college government's gonna do all this.
Government's gonna demand all this had happen.
Libs have been trying to fix all this stuff for all these years, and all they've done is made it all worse.
Let's invest in scientific research.
What are we investing in now?
Let's invest in science.
You guys are trying to shut down as much scientific research as you can when it's made by big drug.
Let's lay down broadband lines to the hearts of inner cities.
My gosh, this goes back to let's build phone lines out in the sticks so that farmers back in a 30s and 40s can get telephones, and we're still paying the tax on that.
And then Al Gore had his same proposal.
Let's make sure every school's wired for the internet.
And I thought he and Clinton did that.
We saw him actually pounding the nails.
Now we have to get broadband into the hearts of our inner cities.
Nothing about the kidneys of our inner cities or the testicles of our inner cities, but the hearts of our inner cities.
Let's make it possible for hardworking Americans to save for retirement.
Been there done that's called the 401k.
Keel plan.
Barack.
People have already done this.
Allow our unions and their organizers to lift up this country's middle class again.
Barack.
Middle class is thriving.
Union membership down to like seven or nine percent.
What is it?
7% non-governmental union memberships plummeting.
They don't define the middle class anymore.
Let's be the generation that ends poverty.
I mean, I this is there's nothing new here, folks.
There's nothing, wow, we yet funny have it.
And then there's one more before we go to the break.
This is uh Sunday in Ames, Iowa, Iowa State University, Barack Obama talking about the war in Iraq.
Should have never been waged, and to which we now have spent 400 billion dollars.
And have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.
Now, Barack is out saying, you know, you really mean that.
Because there's no such thing as wasted lives and so forth.
They really.
I don't know if this was invented on Oprah or whatever.
Well, that's not really who I am.
I that's not that's not what I really think.
Well, you said it.
And you probably meant it.
In politics when the gaffes probably represent truth.
And you gotta go out and massage the truth.
He's on 60 minutes uh Sunday night, Steve Croft said your mother was white, your father was African, you're raised in a white household, yet at some point you decided you were black.
I'm not sure I decided it.
Uh I think uh you know, if you if you look African American in this society, you're treated as an African American.
Uh and uh when you're a child in particular, uh that is how you begin to identify yourself.
So what do we we conclude here that he didn't define himself as black?
That the way he looks does.
Okay, this.
We got more, we've got Obama's wife in there, we've got uh John Howard from Australia coming up, but I'm not sure I decided it.
Well, if you didn't decide it, then how did it happen?
Well, just uh when you look like that, that's what you are.
Well, renounce it then.
If it's not something you want to be, if you didn't decide it, renounce it.
Become white.
Just say so.
Okay, back to our Barack Obama audio sound bite marathon.
What are we up to now?
Let's see.
Oh, yeah.
Obama just said he wasn't sure that he decided he was black.
Uh that if you look African American in this society, you're treated as an African American.
And when you were a child in particular, that's how you begin to identify yourself.
If you don't like it, you can switch.
Well, I mean, that's the way I see it.
It's got 50-50 in there.
No, I was I'm white.
Obama's wife got in the act uh 60 minutes last.
What's her name?
Michelle.
And Croft says to her, Michelle, that's a tough question to axe, but a number of years ago, Colin Powell was thinking about running for president.
His wife uh Alma really didn't want him to run.
She was worried about some crazy person with a gun.
Is that something that you think about?
I don't lose sleep over it.
Um because the realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station.
You know, so you you know, you can't, you know, you you can't make decisions based on on fear and the possibility of what might happen.
We we just weren't right raised that way.
And moving on now to Saturday in Ames.
Well, actually, we're going backwards in time now.
That was Sunday night.
This is Ames, Iowa, in his speech before thousands at Iowa State.
I think he gets heckled here.
Energy.
We know.
All right, guys.
Hey, yes, come on, man.
You know, you made you made a point.
We don't want to get wrong when we're all in the same place.
The uh all I'm asking is just the courtesy to let me finish until we start addressing your point.
That's all I'm asking for.
What were they shouting?
Could you tell what they were?
It's a bunch of energy protesters there, just out of Iraq now, rhymes with a anti-war guys.
All right.
Well, Barack will address their concerns after he makes his point.
We're not going to hang around long enough to hear that.
John Howard, the uh prime minister of Australia of Australia, uh on Saturday said this about Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama.
He's a long way from being president of the United States.
I think he's wrong.
I think that would just encourage those who wanted completely to stabilize and destroy Iraq and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory.
If I were running Al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2009.
And uh pry uh as many times as possible for uh a victory, not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats.
Well, this didn't sit well with Barack.
Didn't sit well with Obama yesterday in Chicago at a press conference.
He was asked about what uh uh John Howard said, and this is what Obama said in response.
I think it's flattering that uh, you know, one of George Bush's allies uh uh on the other side of the world uh started attacking me our a day after I announced.
Uh I take that as a compliment.
So if he's ginned up to uh to uh uh to to fight the good fight in Iraq, uh I would suggest that he uh calls up another twenty thousand Australians uh and sends them to Iraq.
Wait a second.
Now that doesn't that doesn't I know it sounds like a pretty good put down to some people, but it doesn't jibe intellectually because Obama wants to pull out of their forthwith.
Unilateral withdrawal now.
Uh probably a little shocked by this comment from John Howard.
Uh now we've got two more of these, and this is this is just uh it's not gonna matter to anybody, but we're just gonna get it out there on the record in case you haven't heard it.
Obama on Meet the Press, January 22nd, 2006.
I will serve out my full six-year term.
So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008.
I will not.
I will not run.
Telling you folks there is more of this couple in candidacy that reminds me of the Clintons than I can begin to tell you.
Uh, here's Obama two years ago, this at a press conference, saying he didn't have the experience to run for president.
I am uh a believer in knowing what you're doing when you apply for a job.
And I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now before having served a day in the Senate.
Now there are some people who are might be comfortable doing that, uh, but I'm not one of those people.
It's November 8th, 2004.
Uh said he wasn't uh running, didn't have the experience.
But of course, none of that matters now.
And this is not gonna matter uh to anybody.
It's that was then and this is now, and but I'm telling you the similarities here between the uh Obamas and the Clintons is uh is stunning in more ways than one.
Obama also said uh on let's see, February 11th, I guess it would be Sunday, in uh in Iowa Falls, Iowa.
This is really mystifying to me.
Barack Obama said Sunday name recognition would be his toughest challenge in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Really?
Name recognition.
Who in the world is not going to forget or remember uh Barack Obama, Barack Hus Hussein Obama?
Well, but I mean Ted Kennedy, yeah, but you d I mean the idea there's gonna be name recognition problem here is absurd.
Uh poor guy has hurdles, but this ain't this isn't one of them.
Uh let's see.
What did he say?
First term Senator said, Well, they have an infrastructure is talking about uh about Hillary and John Edwards.
They have an infrastructure and name recognition higher than mine, so there will probably be a higher burden of proof for me.
Uh yeah, but look, old clean one.
Uh the drive-bys don't love them as much as they love you.
And so you will not have to go as far and work as hard to establish your own name recognition, which I can't.
Such a nonsensical comment in the first place.
But anyway, look at that's that's the Obama stack.
Those are the Obama sound bites, and those were my witty comments concerning them.
Brief time out.
Sorry about that.
Continue here in just a second.
A man, a living legend, and a way of life.
Back to the phones to uh Reading, California.
This is Robert.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you on the program.
Rush, uh sixteen years of Ditto's birthdays and anniversaries.
Thank you, sir.
Um just uh and and by the way, it couldn't be your kid, it'd be a pay cut.
You wouldn't get any money out of it.
You'd have to give money.
Probably true.
That's that's right.
Um, how much would a trillion dollars do going towards missile defense?
Speaking of that Kim John Hill uh money that we're gonna spend over there.
Well, um good question.
I I I I think there's a lot of hope invested in diplomacy.
And uh people say maybe we can get rid of this threat and so forth.
There are people looking for an instant success, by the way, in a uh in a troubled area.
Uh and this can be passed off as an instant success.
Okay, you got the nukes of uh Naughty off table.
Uh well, progress taking place here.
And I think that's part of one of the um part of the motivational process to get this done.
But is your point we could give them a trillion dollars, we can invest it into a missile defense and not have to give them the uh the free aid and so forth.
Yeah, and then we'd be protected from every two-bit wacko.
Well true.
Um if it works in a s you know, it it it does work, but we're by no means ready to deploy it.
Um I I th look, I'm gonna have to look into this a little more because I've I've I've got a couple of things I've received email-wise today trying to tell me why it is a uh different and a good thing.
Uh others, John Bolton's on television today saying this is not this isn't this is not.
It's it just it's t totally reneging on a plan he put in place while at the United Nations that was uh uh uh contained stiff shank stiff sanctions and uh and so forth.
But I look at in in my in my uh uh addled condition here, riddled here by the ravages of the common cold, I must tell you people that I look at everything in the news today as a cynic.
I I just look at it as it's all BS.
And I and and well, no, that's uh it did not that way every day.
It's uh Snurley says, how does that differ um from uh from every other day?
But this this North Korea I I just I think the bottom line here is that there are people in the Bush administration, uh, wherever uh that want to be able to claim a success in an area of nuclear proliferation.
And they can say here, okay, we've taken a North Koreans off table, and we brought all these other countries into the deal.
We brought uh South Korea in, we brought the Chikoms in, uh, we bought the Japanese in, so now if the North Koreans reneg on a deal, they're actually reneging against the Shikoms and a number of others.
Not that that would stop this stupid little potbellied dictator, but I don't know, the game must it may be enough of a pervert that if he got enough cognac in a deal and enough pornography tapes and DVDs and so forth, uh plus enough food to keep his population from rioting for a while longer.
Uh it may keep him quiet.
Who knows?
And whatever hair piece stuff he wears to keep his head looking like what do you call a buffant?
We're dealing with a obviously a deranged individual, but he may be quite crafty uh at the uh at the same time.
Beth in Kansas City, Missouri, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Hi.
I am a very unique animal.
I am a forty seven year old woman.
I've never voted Democrat in my life, so I really don't care what Obama or Hillary has to say.
However, Mitt Romney today announced his candidacy for president.
And I was wondering, is he going to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and be a good conservative?
Well tell you what, let's listen to his res let's listen to his uh his announcement 'cause we happen to have that here.
And we can also show you what uh MSNBC did in um in following his announcement.
So uh you hang on here, Beth, and we'll go through this together.
This is this morning in Dearborn, Michigan.
Romney made this announcement uh as part of his I'm in thing.
I love America and I believe in the people of America.
I believe in God and I believe that every person in this great country and every person on this great planet is a child of God.
I believe that we're all sisters and brothers.
I believe that the family is the foundation of America and that it needs to be protected and strengthened.
I believe in the sanctity of human life.
I believe that people and their elected representatives should make the laws not unelected judges.
I believe that we're overtaxed and government is overfed.
Washington is spending too much money.
I believe that homeland security begins with securing our borders and I believe that our best days are before us I believe in America.
Yay Rabbo Bravo what do you think of that Beth?
Well it seems good but is there any follow-up to that follow up well has he proven in the past that what he says that he walks the walk.
I'm from Missouri so you have to show me he's like a lot of the Republicans that are in the race he used to believe certain things at one time and has now switched his mind on uh on them.
some of the social conservative issues like abortion.
He was of one mind and changed his mind later.
And the people that believe in Romney are saying, well, Reagan used to be a Democrat and became a Republican.
I mean, it happens.
So Giuliani's people are out putting forth the message, hey, yeah, yeah, you know, I've got, I do have these things in my resume, being somewhat liberal on the social side of things, but I'm for the judges, and I think abortion ought to be decided by the people.
and so forth the all of the candidates except McCain are doing what they can.
McCain is different animal here but but all of them are trying to moderate their pasts and meld their pasts into a current mold of conservatism.
What about physically?
Will he be a physical conservative?
You mean fiscally money.
Yes.
I have a cold too so I feel your pain oh thank you.
Well it's a shame that you're feeling what I'm feeling I wouldn't I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
But but nevertheless he's got a pretty good fiscal conservative record.
He does I w I want you to listen to um uh MSNBC though dice and slice this with Chip Reed after the announcement and he was talking with uh Anna Marie Cox of Time magazine and this is how that exchange went he's barely out of the starting box and I'm gonna go right for his knees.
Number one, he's a Mormon and evangelicals have problem.
Number two, he's a flip flopper.
Right.
He was pro-choice and he was to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay rights in Massachusetts.
And now he's to the far right.
And he has no foreign policy experience.
How does he stand a chance?
So this is the, now you didn't hear any of that in, there was none of that in following up after Barack Obama made his announcement, for example.
This is just what happens.
Look, I don't know how to tell you this.
I mean, I just am not into it yet.
You know, this stuff is all going to shake out.
And I've not studied enough of these people to tell you which one of them are better conservatives or better on this issue or better.
And that's what I was trying to say earlier.
I think what troubles me is that all of these candidates by their supporters are being molded into, well, he can be conservative.
And he, Rudy, he can be conservative.
And Mitt can be, to be conservative is to be conservative.
And frankly, folks, I'm going to tell you, there's not.
not a full fledged pure conservative out there in the race as of now so the chosen candidate's gonna be a compromise.
Now it doesn't.
Pardon?
I need to just keep listening to you.
And as things happen, not only will I watch and wait, but I'll listen.
Well, but feel free to make up your own mind.
Oh, don't worry, I will.
Well, as a woman, I know you will.
But uh I I appreciate the um the confidence that you vest in me to tell you what to think.
It's well placed.
Uh and I will do my best to uh to earn that as I have over the past 18 and a half uh 18 and a half years.
Folks, don't misunderstand me on this.
This is uh it may be like seem like a small thing to some of you.
But uh it seems to me that there's a big move underway now to redefine conservatism.
For example, I I'm not gonna give a name, but let's say there's a uh uh so-called Republican candidate who is not really conservative when it comes to fiscal issues.
Well, the tendency is to say, yeah, he's a good conservative, even in because the we want these the supporters of these candidates want to fit them uh in into into conservatism in such a way that conservatism has to be redefined in order to accommodate the so-called conservatism of the candidate.
And what's happening here is that people are looking at these different candidates and they're looking at electability.
And they're conflating that with a serious discussion of conservatism.
Now, I look at you can back a candidate without pretending that they are true conservatives, and that's what's gonna have to happen in this race.
Uh but I I am not gonna sit here as I've done in the past and and and made mistakes.
I am not gonna sit here and tell you candidate A is conservative.
I don't think he is.
I'm not gonna create a bunch of false hopes and and and uh images so that when these guys behave as they are in ways which are not conservative, uh I don't want people to be surprised.
Now we have we've made that mistake in the past.
Uh and it's just it's time to stop making the mistake.
And the mistake is made by people of good intentions who want to uh then they know conservatism is an important factor in primaries, and the supporters of these candidates all want their candidates to win, and so we redefine conservatism to fit whatever characteristics the candidate has.
I'm just telling you that I'm not gonna do.
So if if uh one of these guys is gonna end up being the preferred candidate, I'm gonna be making a choice between one of these guys.
I don't know when, but I'm I'm not I'm not gonna tell you the choice is made on the basis that this is the conservative in the race if I don't think the guy is.
Uh pure and simple, which is uh all I'm saying.
And it's in addition to all that, so soon here that there's plenty of time for some shaking out to occur, and it's it's just way too soon to get behind anybody.
Uh just I don't know how else to say it other than that.
It just there's I'll think of different ways to illustrate the point as we go on here.
But as I've said, there's so much out there that's gonna happen that we can't predict.
You've got potential dark horses that are gonna come out of nowhere like Jimmy Carter did uh for the Democrats in uh in 1976.
Who knows?
You could have Duncan Hunter uh come out of Newt Gingrich could pop out of nowhere and start dazzling people left and right as a full-fledged candidate.
Uh who knows?
And then it's still so so early.
And I think it's the the earliness that this presidential race excuse me.
Uh the earliness is gonna end up being a detriment to this whole thing because people are gonna be fed up with the presidential race before it actually ever gets started.
And I am gonna try to see to it that at least you people on this show are not fed up with it.
Because we're not gonna get on board and start it now as though it's the most important thing we face because it isn't.
Back in a sec.
Let me see if I can build on this point I'm trying to make about redefining conservatism so that it fits a particular candidate, which I think is bad news and is unnecessary.
We're never going to get to where we need to be with situational politics.
And by situational politics, I mean taking somebody who's not a conservative and calling them a conservative because they're close enough.
In the process, we redefine conservatism, and that's for those of us who believe in conservatism anyway, for the long haul, it's not good.
We water it down.
It's something the libs never ever do.
They don't destroy their icons.
They don't try to redefine liberal.
They've got a great scam going.
They know they all are full-fledged, 100% grade A libs.
Their only trick is try to convince as many people out there as possible that they're not that.
But they don't.
You take a look at anybody, think of Bob Casey, the former governor of Pennsylvania who was pro-life, wouldn't let him into their convention.
They don't.
There's no tolerance for the non-lib.
In the Democrat Party, or in the quote unquote liberal movement.
But we conservatives will we'll water it down or whatever to let some candidate in who's not a full-fledged conservative.
Like Romney is arguing that he fits into the traditional conservative mold, including his conversion on abortion.
McCain and Rudy are trying to redefine conservatism to accommodate their views.
While they both are modifying their own positions to move right to some extent.
McCain's potential fatal decision was to side with the DC liberals in the media against his own party for so many years as a means of drawing attention to himself.
And in the process, he was he was running for president then rather than the GOP nomination.
And he thought he could double back.
And after he had gotten the approval of the DC Dems and the media, they could double back and get the Republican base in the nomination.
But what's going to happen is that the DC Democrats and the media elite will discard him, and they've already done begin to begun to do so faster than he can sneeze.
One reason right now that Rudy has an upper hand on McCain is that he has spent the last few years campaigning for conservatives.
And he's been helping to rebuild the Republican Party's coffers.
But he has been out there working for conservatives.
That's not the only reason, but that's important to party types who have a great deal of influence on delegate selection when you get to the convention.
Good.
Rudy has simply been a much better Republican than McCain has.
In a recent column, George Will called Rudy a conservative.
In a column that ran Sunday, he says that Reagan really wasn't.
Or that Reagan was a once-in-a-lifetime thing that we're never going to have again.
I've got that column in the stack, and I didn't get to it today, but I will hopefully later in the week.
Because it's really fascinating in a whole bunch of different ways, and I want to dissect it and break it down for you.
But there's too much argument...
Even in conservatism right now, there's a there are arguments among people who want to be the leaders of the conservative movement over what is a conservative.
And all these allowances for the less than ideal conservative or the less than pure conservative are being made on the assumption it's the best we can get.
And that's just something you never see the left doing.
I mean, look at when it when it came time they nominated John Kerry.
I mean, they went.
You can't get any more liberty in every which way.
Dour, sour, anti-America, hates the country, willing to protest.
All this stuff they've put him out there.
And they thought because he wore a military uniform, it'd fool people and get elected.
At any rate, I'm out of time here for this segment.
Let me take a brief break, be back and close it out right after this.
Don't go away.
Okay, folks, before we skate out of here, a reminder the rush babe on board signs are now available at the EIB store at Rush Limbaugh.com, as well as the two t-shirts signifying and proclaiming my Nobel Peace Prize nomination, uh, which was uh acknowledged today by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
Uh, much to the chagrin of many on the left in this country.
Two great t shirts on sale the EIB store as well as the rush babe on board signs.
We've got to go, but we'll be back uh 21 hours from now.
Do it all over again, hopefully with reduced coughing spasms.
