Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis, Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
It's a real pleasure to be with you, and it's great to have you with us.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today is 800-282-2882.
Our new email address is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
One thing I've noticed out there, I'm watching all the pundits, and they all seem distressed now that we're not going to have a nominee anytime.
I mean, we're going to have a front runner.
We don't ever really f well, national polls, the uh I guess the national polls still give it to McCain.
Uh well, I guess Hillary on the Democrat side.
But of course uh but but they've got no, they want I well usually, you know, in the old days, it wasn't that long ago, presidential campaigns were just about now beginning.
The primary season was just about now beginning, uh, rather than having states uh uh four or five states down uh already.
But like the New York Times today, no GOP anchor in sight.
The convincing victory by Mitt Romney in the Michigan primary on Tuesday means three very different states have embraced three separate candidates in search of somebody who can lead party into a tough election and beyond President Bush.
Uh no GOP anchor in sight.
That's uh this is by Adam Nagurney.
Adam, there's a reason for that.
The GOP anchor is on the radio.
The GOP anchor is not in the campaign.
There is an anchor.
So um anyway, all upset here.
We don't have a we don't have a nominee.
We might not have a nominee for a while.
Super Tuesday might not give us a nominee.
Oh, woe is us.
Uh they seem disappointed here that the and I would I would think they'd be excited by this.
And in terms of uh making the job, they do a little bit more exciting.
But of course, they've got their choices.
See, that isn't working out the way they've been predicting things.
McCain was supposed to win yesterday.
Romney was supposed to have announced that he's getting out of the race after New Hampshire.
Uh and none of this uh is happening.
Huckabee was supposed to be the new Darwin, he was supposed to be racing through here, finishing first or second, a bunch of places.
Now they got Huckabee winning South Carolina, by the way.
That's the uh the conventional wisdom.
But McCain says no, it's gonna be scabby me.
I'm gonna win South Carolina.
Even what happened in 2000, you see.
Uh meanwhile, the Democrats, folks, this debate last night, I know I I I've I can imagine that very few of you watched this.
But I did.
What uh question from the official program observer, yes.
Mm-hmm.
Well, illegal immigration is an issue in South Carolina.
I was I was in fact I was laughing earlier.
You know, because the drive in fact, good point, Mr. Program Observer, because now all of a sudden the issue is the economy.
That's the issue for the Republicans, because we're on the verge of a recession.
Oh no, and that's the issue.
It's of course the economy has not been an issue.
They've been doing everything they can to say for the last eight years the economy's bad.
Uh and they they've they've but it hasn't been.
They just wanted to make people believe it.
Uh, but now all of a sudden, when it's a presidential election year, guess what's front and center?
The economy.
And of course, I think a lot of Republicans are probably biting their nails, oh no, the economy recession we're gonna lose.
Oh no, we've got to get economy off the table.
No, folks.
The fact that the economy is an issue, fine and dandy with me.
There is no better issue on which and in which to explain conservatism than the economy.
Taxes, immigration, health care, it's all related to the economy.
Immigration's a huge issue in South Carolina.
Uh and uh the I saw something funny.
I was gonna comment on it uh earlier, and I forgot.
It happened right after the uh program started, and I was well into other things in the monologue.
But there's a town hall, I mean, I don't know if it's still going on, it's probably not knows two hours ago.
But Lindsay Gramnesty was introducing McCain.
McCain was standing next to and behind Lindsey Gramnesty, as Lindsey Graham stay was warming up the crowd.
And I'm thinking this is South Carolina where they were really mad at Lindsey Grahamnesty over immigration.
They really were mad at McCain and all these pre-election polls that say McCain's gonna do well in South Carolina with this immigration issue, as prominent as it is, particularly on the Republican side.
Uh we'll just we'll just have to wait and see.
Then the the South Carolina primary happens on two different days.
Uh the Democrat election is uh one day and the Republican, I think it's five days later, or vice versa.
But you cannot vote in both.
Uh legally.
Uh you can you can vote only in uh in one of them, uh, but they do separate it by a number of days.
So bring on the economy is an issue as far as I'm concerned.
Bring it on.
I don't there's no issue that bothers me.
There's no issue that that that makes me afraid.
Bring on immigration, bring on health care, bring on the war in Iraq, bring on the war on terror, bring on the economy, bring it all on.
It's a perfect opportunity.
It's what presidential campaigns are all about.
It's a perfect opportunity to explain conservatism.
It's a perfect opportunity to properly identify the Clintons and the Obamas and the Edwardses, who there's not a dime's worth of difference policy-wise between either of them.
Let's go to the audio sound bites and let's listen to some of this syrup.
As you know, the uh the uncivil war truce held in Las Vegas last night.
They're all singing Kumbaya.
Uh we have a montage of Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and John Edwards all just getting a long lesson that's Hillary said it well.
John and Hillary have always been committed to racial equality.
Senator Clinton ran a good campaign.
I'm proud of the fact that we have a woman and an African American.
I respect what Barack said.
The things that Senator Clinton just spoke about are correct.
Hillary's exactly right.
We got unity in the Democratic Party.
I think that what Barack said is what John and I also meant.
Senator Obama and I agree completely.
I agree with John.
I agree with her.
And Senator Obama.
We're all on the same page.
We're all going to make progress together.
I think that's fair.
I am glad I use equal.
I get I tell I I I checked my blood sugar when this thing was over last night to make sure I hadn't had a diabetic attack.
Let's move on.
Brian Williams said to Senator Clinton, we needn't go back over all that's happened except to say that this discussion before it was over involved Dr. King, President Johnson, even Sidney Poitier, several members of Congress, and a prominent African American businessman supporting Senator Clinton, who made what seemed to be a reference to a party of Senator Obama's teenage past that the Senator himself was written about in his autobiography.
The question to begin with here tonight, Senator Clinton, is how did we get now?
How about that question?
You know what I love Brian Williams.
But he starts out by saying we needn't go back over all that's happened, and then he goes back over all that's happened without describing any of it.
So there was an effort for people who were watching who may not know what have gone on or what has gone on to not know the details of it, but the question basically was how did this race stuff come up?
You know, this is what Republicans are supposed to do.
We're Democrats.
This is the race stuff is not supposed to be.
It's tearing our party apart.
How did we get here?
Senator Obama and I agree completely that neither race nor gender should be a part of this campaign.
So I very much appreciate what Senator Obama and I did yesterday, which is that we both have exuberant and sometimes uncontrollable supporters, that we need to get this campaign where it should be.
You know, we're all family in the Democratic Party.
We're so different from the Republicans on all of these issues in every way that affects the future of the people that we care so much about.
So I think that it's appropriate on Dr. King's birthday, his actual birthday, to recognize that all of us are here as a result of what he did, all of the sacrifice, including giving his life, along with so many of the other icons that we honor.
So the question was how do we get here?
The answer is we're not there.
Obama and I have gotten together.
We have conspired to blame our staffs.
Our staffs got too exuberant and they ran away with this.
But me and Obama, we understand fully what this is all about, and we're not gonna go back there.
Uh I don't know how Hillary can say she's where she is because of Dr. King.
I really don't know.
I She's trying to get back on the good graces of people, though, because he's out there basically trash Dr. King by saying he was nothing but LBJ.
But as I pointed out, ladies and gentlemen, in a previous hour of this very program.
If LBJ was a key to all this, how come there aren't any LBJ streets all over America?
How come there's no LBJ holiday?
Because you got a lot of Martin Luther King boulevards, a lot of Martin Luther King avenues, a lot of Martin Luther King schools.
You got a Martin Luther King National Holiday.
Uh Hillary Clinton did not get anywhere because of Dr. King.
She got everywhere because of Mr. Bill.
Uncle Bill, as he was appropriately named on this program yesterday.
Uh, blaming the staff.
Too exuberant.
Very, very overlect.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know, uh, when the staff here screws up, and it happens more than you'd know, I never blame the staff.
And you've heard me.
Because if if if if, for example, in in their exuberance, if they believe some hoax email that comes in and they give it to me as fact, and I use it.
It's ultimately my responsibility for not checking it first.
I'm not gonna sit there and dump on the staff.
I take all the heat and I get all the money.
And uh, so but here they are blaming their staffs.
There's nobody's gonna convince me that there wasn't some meeting here to set this all up.
Okay, so next up, Brian Williams says, Senator Obama, next question.
Same question.
Hillary said it well.
We are right now, I think, at a defining moment in our history.
Yeah.
We've got a nation at war.
We're winning.
Our planet is in peril.
No.
And the economy is putting an enormous strain on working families all across the country.
Democrats are good.
Race has always been an issue in our politics and and in this country.
Well, the Democrats are.
One of the premises of my campaign, and I think of the Democratic Party, and uh, I know that John and Hillary have always been committed to racial equality, is that we can't solve these challenges unless we can come together as a people.
And we're not resorting to the same or falling into the same traps of division that we have in the past.
Obama, you taking the high road here, and I admire you.
But they're trying to destroy you, my man.
Out there with your drug use and your drug selling and not doing a spade where they're trying to destroy you, Obama.
By the way, you think Hillary's committed to racial equality?
How come she's trying to stomp you into the dirt?
How come Mrs. Clinton's treating you as no different than any other Republican opponent that she might have?
She's trying to ruin you, pal, and behind closed doors, I guarantee you there's conversation going.
Who does this upstart think he is?
Racial equality.
Why?
Sister Sledge, we are family, and the bumper rotation happens to fit perfectly.
Back to the Democrat debate.
Just a second, but let's go get Rhonda from Edenton, North Carolina.
I've been waiting a long time and I appreciate that.
Hi, yeah, Rhonda.
Hi, Rush.
What an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Mega traditional Republican did it.
I was calling about that call yesterday about the TV conservative.
I was quite upset yesterday, but I must admit that Romney's victory turned me down quite a bit.
Anyway, this um the tunnel vision guy, right?
Was this.
He said he was just so mad at the woman because she said if McCain or Huckabee were the candidate, she was not going to vote.
And he said, oh, and we'll have Clinton, Edwards or Obama elected, and they might appoint judges.
And are they gonna appoint, I think he said a scalillo or a Ginsburg or Stevens, and I hate to tell him that Stevens was a Republican appointee, I believe.
But anyway, as far as I'm concerned, if I went out and voted for Huckabee or McCain, these compassionate conservatives, I would be voting for a Democrat.
And do you think McCain is going to appoint any judge that Kennedy is not going to put the seal of approval on?
I mean, this is crazy.
And Huckabee reminds me of Clinton.
I mean, he's got the instrument.
He's on the talk shows.
He's got the Hollywood entourage, and he's constantly whining about Mitt Romney's money.
And he's also from Arkansas.
He's from Hope.
He's got the accent.
He's got it all.
He's got the entire kit.
Now, I would not vote for McCain or Huckabee, but I would not sit home.
What would you do?
I would start to energize.
We've got the internet.
We've got everything now.
I would try to energize our writing campaign campaign if I had to.
I mean, I'm not going to stay here talk to you and apologize for being a supporter of Nett Romney.
I love Matt Romney.
You know why I love Mitt Romney?
Because he's good looking.
Well, his whole family is good looking.
But what our rough was last night, he was he was like a little kid at Christmas.
He was not condescending.
He didn't act as if he was about to be um crowned.
He wanted to bring everybody with him.
And he's got it all because he's got the business degree, and he understands the law because he has a law degree, too.
But he says, You are the you are you are the second woman who is called today swooning over Mitt Romney.
I adore that man because he is a good decent man.
Do you see the way his wife looks at him?
Do you see the respect and the enjoyment that his children get it get out of being around him?
People are so jealous of this man, not to mention that they're scared to death and they have a hatred of Mormon, so understand.
If this man is evil and he's dangerous, would you please show me the evidence?
Right, yeah.
You know, uh you you remind me of something.
I saw somebody somebody sent me a list of things.
It was one of his emails that's going around, and uh somebody sent me a a uh a list of things that are without question true, but that you don't know it.
Like right now, somebody you don't even know is thinking about you.
Or right now, somebody that you don't know loves you, loves you to death.
Yes.
It was all this kind of thing.
And and one of the one of the items on the list was I really got to thinking about this.
One of the items on the list was if somebody really hates you, what it means is they wish they were you.
Amen.
You believe it you you believe that?
I believe it 100%.
And you know what?
The fact that the media doesn't want to follow Romney is the very reason why I want to follow him.
Who cares if they approve?
Well, you know, this is one thing the drive-by's have not going to learn.
They will not learn.
They are they're going to do everything they can to try to shape your opinion without realizing your drive they are driving you right the opposite direction they want you to go.
Uh it's it's uh a fascinating question, though, these people that say that they aren't gonna vote if Huckabee or um McCain get the nomination.
Now, we haven't discussed this because the time hasn't really been right, but lurking out there is the mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.
I can't tell you.
I think I mentioned this once time uh play golf at certain places in the Northeast or play golf place down here where there are a lot of members who summer in the Northeast, and they love the guy.
And these are Republicans.
What do you think about Bloomberg?
I think about Bloomberg.
They see Bloomberg.
These guys are all business types.
DC Bloomberg and the Bloomberg Network and his n and his his $13 billion wealth, they see somebody that I mean, that's cool.
The guy has that much business savvy.
Anyway, he's lurking out there as a potential third-party candidate.
He's out there doing polls to find out if this person's a Democrat nominee, if this person's a Republican nominee, do I get in?
And I'll guarantee you, if Huckabee is our nominee, he gets in.
He's He's gonna realize that there are a whole lot more Republican votes he might be able to get.
Uh if Huckabee is uh is the nominee.
McCain, I don't think he'd step on.
Um and then the question becomes if if a guy like Bloomberg gets in, is he hurt Hillary or the Republican more?
And there's no consensus on that.
Back here in just a second.
Well, I I just read something attributed to David Brooks of the New York Times.
It was on a blog, so I don't know if it's it's actually true.
Uh but he quoted me from yesterday's program in which I said, folks, I'm just going to tell you something.
It was in response to the guy who called and was upset about people saying they're not going to vote if uh Huckabee or McCain get the nomination.
And I said to the guy, look, you better understand something.
Uh if Huckabee and McCann get the nomination, there's a good chance his party's finished.
It's going to be over and done with as we know it.
And it's going to get redefined, it's going to be built back up from practically scratch.
It's just going to be devastating.
So this is quoted in this blog.
Say, well, if that's, then that's the end of Romney.
I mean, that's the end of McCain.
Uh they're all upset now.
And Rush and his mimics are now out trying to destroy the Republican Party modernizers.
Like McCain and Huckabee and Newt Gingrich.
I am personally trying to destroy the party's modernizers.
I don't know what you want to call these people.
Now, these these I don't I it's it's attributed to Brooks, but I don't know if it's true.
Some blog post by a guy named Ezra Klein, who I don't know, and don't interpret this as a criticism of anybody.
I just think this is fascinating.
It is literally fascinating to hear that people who are not conservatives are or who have abandoned a lot of their conservatism are now the party modernizers.
Baby, if that doesn't tell you what trouble we're in, nothing will.
If that's what these guys who are not conservatives, that's how they're perceived, modernizing the party, and of course these are drive-by media types writing this stuff.
And they're all depressed now because you know McCain was supposed to win Michigan and he didn't.
And uh and Romney did, and uh this guy that posted this block said, I don't see, I just don't see how Romney is denied this now.
If that's what Limbaugh thinks, modernizing.
Modernizers.
I can't tell you how that offends me on so many levels.
This term progressive describe liberals, which is a big misnomer.
If anything needs modernizing, it's a Democrat Party.
How old is their playbook?
They don't have one new page in their playbook since I've been alive.
And he keep going back to that same old playbook and old pages, and we working the same old dishonest tricks.
Modernizing.
We need to modernize by going more socialist.
We need to modernize by believing that government's the answer.
That's how you modernize the Republican Party.
No thanks, folks.
I am happy.
I am happy to be the source of scorn.
I am happy to be labeled and targeted as the guy who's targeting the modernizers of the Republican Party.
Speaking, would you remember um we came up with a term here?
We've always we've had the gender gap.
Uh what are gaps if we had?
We've had uh the minority gap, with the gender gap.
We've all we had a NASCAR gap, but we also we invented a term, the arousal gap.
Uh and that was, you know, all these all these Lib Democrats and a drive-by women reporters just swooning over Bill Clinton.
Why not me, they would ask.
And we get these stories about the power crackling of these genes and so forth.
So we had an arousal gap problem.
Do you realize I I don't know, uh, ladies and gentlemen, if I can if I can extrapolate here from two calls, we've had two women today just simply going bonkers over Mitt Romney.
Now, I don't know if they are part of the Romney organization, if they're I'm not trying to castigate them here.
I just you just don't know.
And I didn't ask them.
Uh but I'm just gonna assume here they're just they're just ardent, just they're pumped up Romney supporters.
And if Romney gets a nomination, and all of these, if there are indeed a lot of these kinds of women out there, because they look at Romney and they're a good looking guy, they see the family.
And it's a wholesome, really good-looking family.
Uh a lot of things to recommend it, in terms if you look at what you know, women look at versus men and the political candidates and so forth.
Uh can you imagine the arousal gap being on the Democrat side?
Uh well, here's the difference.
I know there's a big difference with with the the Clinton women and and Romney women.
The Romney women know they don't have a chance of sleeping with him, but they don't want to.
The Clinton women all wanted to sleep with a guy.
Remember Nina Burley, Time magazine reporterette, she's I would personally give Bill Clinton oral sex for saving abortion.
Oh, they were all over you you could see them swoon in the press conferences.
Uh so uh if if if the arousal gap ends up, especially if Hillary's their nominee.
The arousal gap.
And can you imagine?
Can you imagine the drive bys and the Democrats going nuts if there is a huge amount of women in this country who are gonna swoon over Romney the way these two who called here today swooned over him?
Whoa, that's gonna be fun to watch if that all transpires.
The arousal gap two.
Jean in Harvard, Illinois.
Glad you waited.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Oh, thanks for taking my call.
I've been listening to you for just about forever.
I first heard you in the barber shop when I was there with one of my kids, and that was before you said that you endorsed Clinton.
Oh, that's good.
That's what's a little bit before nineteen ninety-two.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm fifty-four years old.
I got married in seventy-four, got my bachelor's science and nursing in seventy-five, and I worked in OB until I caught it.
And that was early in the in the legal abortion era.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You worked at OB?
I worked in obstetrics.
Oh.
And and they and yeah, not in abortions, but they did some on my floor.
I see.
I got I got you.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm calling because of those copulation controllers that are saying that the only reason people have kids is because they don't have access to abortion.
Or contraception.
Or contraception.
Now, I want you to know that I've had since then my husband and I have had ten lovely children.
They're age thirty-one to nine.
And we have and then when I stopped having kids, we started having grandkids.
We have six grandkids, ages eighty.
Wait, wait, wait, just a second.
I need to get my arms around this.
You have ten kids, you the oldest is thirty-one, the youngest is nine.
Yes.
That means I'm assuming for most of these thirty-one years you have had an infant or in in your house.
Oh, yes.
How in the world have you done that?
I mean We enjoyed it.
We wanted these children.
We w we would have had more if we could.
And we know all about contraception and we've rejected it.
And these population controllers, they go and they and they no matter what the demographics are of a country, they say you need to reduce your population.
They're c they want contraception and dying Africa.
They're dying of AIDS.
And they say, well, you need more abortion and contraception.
You know, that is an interesting point about this.
When I did these numbers in the first segment today, I forgot to mention that all these environmentalist wackos are out there.
This should make th this this they are trying to suppress population to save the planet and so forth.
And that probably is one of the reasons why they're upset about the U.S. birth rate increasing.
Um this boop, this boomy baby boom is wonderful.
These can now these kids that are having kids now, their parents are were like my age.
And and they had and they've been, you know, got tricked in the sexual revolution.
Can I can I can I uh th this this is a personal question there.
You don't want to have to answer this, you don't have to.
Okay.
But how old were you when your youngest child, a nine-year-old was born?
Forty-five.
Forty-five.
I'm fifty-four now, she's nine, yeah.
Well, that's right.
You mentioned I saw simple math I could have discovered this without uh asking you.
So 45 years old when you had your youngest child.
I had one at 40, one at 42, and one at 45.
So that you know, I I mean it, you know, I started I didn't have my first child till I was twenty-three.
Yeah, uh you got started late and you kept going.
Yeah.
But these you know, having these kids that are having kids now, they've they've seen what happened with small families.
You know, they don't have a whole lot of brothers and sisters, a lot of them, and they want to have children because they finally figured out that contraceptive sex is a lie, and and that the that the purpose of sex is is having children, and they're and I I support them in that.
You know, that's a good thing, and my kids are all giggling in the background.
Well, I was gonna say how many of them still live at home.
Um right now four.
I have three of them in the car with me, and fourth ones in high school.
Man, oh m.
Uh this is this is uh a heartwarming and wonderful story.
You sound genuinely happy.
I am.
I you know, I mean, you know, it's hard work, but what's life if it's not hard work?
And I'm doing what I want to do, so well then that's fine.
You know, that is absolutely and I think I think you're also doing as I doing what I was born to do.
You are doing what you were born to do.
Rush Limbaugh cutting edge societal evolution to Dallas.
This is uh Richard, nice to have you, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Richard.
We're in the show.
Why they don't name um why they've got all these different names like for Martin Luther King and stuff.
Wait, Richard, I need you to start over here because somebody in the staff screwed up and didn't have your partiometer turned up.
So could you um could you start again?
Sure.
Um you made a comment earlier in the show why everybody uh all these streets are named after Martin Luther King and why not LBJ.
Dallas Fort Worth has LBJ freeway.
I I I exempted Texas.
LBJ's all over Texas.
Okay.
Well, I I I missed that part.
I guess I was doing something else.
I'm not sure.
Outside of Texas, you don't find L BJ.
Well, you got an LBJ library, something in Washington.
They uh they just did the maybe the name of the education building after him, but but you you go around to um i not in Harlem.
He's not he's not in Harlem, he's not in South Central LA.
Uh he's not in Detroit.
You don't find the LBJ boulevards in these places.
That's what I meant.
That's true.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I just wanted to clear about clarify that through me, and um, I think we're you're doing a great job and keep up the good work.
Thank you, sir.
Very much.
I appreciate it.
Well, it looks like recession hopes may have been dealt a blow uh by um industrial production numbers.
Uh industrial production in the U.S. greater than forecast in December, as growth in exports help make up for weakness in auto and uh in housing related industries.
Let me check the Yes the Dow's been down as much as two hundred points today.
It's up like ninety-seven points right now.
It was down on the inflation news, and I think this news had brought it back up.
That place is so fickle anymore.
Inflation news, well, there's gonna be a rate cut, and these people go nuts, and market goes up and down, starts fluctuating like crazy.
But anyway, uh recession hopes have been dealt a blow now by the industrial production numbers.
People desperately in the drive-by is hoping for a uh a recession.
This is Ruth in Newport's New York.
Nice to have you on the program.
An honor to speak with you, Raj.
I don't know what is more exciting today, me getting through to you or you getting the third female from across this beautiful country of ours who is just applauding Russia's I mean, sorry, Romney's win last night in Michigan.
So you're big rock uh Romneyite too.
Well, I have to be honest with you.
I did not know who Romney was quite so until the beginning of the debates, which I have been watching and watching and watching and listening, which I wish everybody else would do.
I have always been since my younger years as a teenager on through adulthood.
I'm a year older than you are, but that's not too far.
A true conservative Republican, and I listened to what this man was saying and the principles that he stood for.
And he won me over.
I he won me over.
And I had been hoping that people would start to just pay attention.
Pay attention.
Keep to their values as you have been saying, and pay attention to what Romney is saying.
And they did.
And the only thing that made me I'm wondering, and it's hard to say this with three calls and one busy broadcast.
But I wonder if we're uncovering something here that's being missed.
And that is that there's this this uh army of women who apparently are really drawn to Romney.
Well I've not in all the analysis and you know breakouts of exit polls, men and women, this I've I've not seen it uh on the Republican side.
You they haven't broken it down by genders that I've seen.
But this this is uh this is new to me.
That I mean, this is you are the you're right, you are the third babe today that's just going on and on and on about Mitt Romney.
What how um uh it's all based on policy, right?
It's not based on how he looks.
It is based on policy.
Yes, he is a very good looking man.
Okay, but it is based on policy because we women who are true conservative Republicans and comfortable in our own skin, yes, and would never vote for anybody based on gender or race, want to listen to what these candidates are saying.
Yes.
And we're listening.
What do you think of his wife and family?
I think that he has a lovely wife and five beautiful sons and daughters in law and grandchildren.
He is a very comes across as a very wholesome American.
I think we need to more important than that, though, is for us to begin to see that he believes in Americans' ability to use their own minds and ingenuity to produce the best ideas and products,
and hope that the government would just step aside and allow the free market system to work, and let our government just continue to protect us so that we remain the strongest country in protecting freedom and homeland security and and a war on terror and I and and the and our and our let's get to the carrier.
I'm running out of time.
Let me get the character side.
Does this does Romney to you exude a powerful morality?
He exudes the most powerful morality I have seen in any candidate.
So you know you have no doubts he would never cheat on his wife.
That is correct.
This is fascinating.
This is absolutely Ruth.
I can't thank you enough.
I thank you, Rush, and just keep up the wonderful work.
My husband and I listen to you every day, and we love you, and just keep that faith because there are Republican conservatives out there who will prove who the true candidate will be, and I believe it will be Romney.
We'll see.
I'm glad you called Ruth.
I gotta run because of the constraints of the programming format.
We will be right back.
We have decided, we've come up with a name for you babes who are smitten with Mitt Romney.
First of many, but this works, I think.
Mittens.
We are going to refer to you as mittens.
I gotta go.
But we'll be back tomorrow.
We'll do it all over again.
Can't wait.
See you then.
