Time Text
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain, the award-winning Pro Pact, ever exciting, increasingly popular and growing by leaps and bounds, Rush Lib Law program, and another exceedingly busy broadcast day.
Underway.
And we're looking forward to it.
Really looking forward to your phone calls.
I mean, I can't wait for your phone calls.
Later in this half hour, telephone number if you want to call is 800-282-288-2 and the email address, El Rushball at EIB net.com.
I realize that I am approaching persona non grafa status, many of you who are Mitt Romney supporters.
I understand completely.
However, I would be remiss if I ignored or overlooked what is happening.
Basically, we played soundbites today and have commented on where we are in the Republican primary.
If you're just joining us, if you're a welfare recipient just getting out of bed, or one of the 49% of Americans that don't pay income taxes that are just getting out of bed.
Essentially, we have the Michigan and Arizona primaries today, and in Michigan, uh the Republican Party, safe to say, has been thrown many loops and is 180 degrees out of phase.
This is not at all what was supposed to have happened.
In fact, this primary in their wildest dreams, I mean their hopes and dreams was was to be over by now, with Romney as the nominee, and not a wasted dollar spent at this stage in primaries, save it all for the general election.
And it just hasn't worked out that way.
And furthermore, the candidate who still survives of all of them, tied with Romney in his third home state of Michigan, is the last guy any of us thought would be anywhere close to standing at the finish.
And that is Rick Santorum.
I also would hazard a safe bet that the last thing that anybody thought on the Republican side was that social issues would become so prominent during the Republican primary process.
And they would not have, were it not for Obama.
They would not have, were it not for the Democrat Party.
Democrat Party opened it up.
The Democrat Party, Barack Obama are the ones assaulting religious liberty and freedom.
Whether people see it that way or not, is not my problem.
That is what's happening.
And this whole notion of uh contraception and abortive fashions and all this totally in the public arena now because it was thrown there by the Democrats.
So where we are now, we're in Michigan, and there have been robocalls run, and there's an operation chaos.
In fact, they're two operation chaos events taking place.
Santorum is running his own calls, robocalls to Democrat voters in Michigan, urging them to come out today vote for him.
The Democrat Party in Michigan is running its own robocalls, urging its registered voters to show up today.
It's an open primary and vote for Santorum.
Their phone call says, please don't waste your vote on Ron Paul.
This has led Romney to say this is the lowest of the low in politics, these kind of robocalls and so forth, which has resulted in people pointing out, well, wait, you know, you you ran robo calls of Santorum endorsing you in um 2008.
In fact, here we've got Greg's audio summit 29.
Romney.
Uh sorry, Santorum in 2008 was on Laura Ingram's show.
And she asked him what he was thinking.
Vis-a-vis, the 2008 Republican primary, that's what he said.
If you're a conservative, there really is only One place to go right now.
I would even argue further than that.
If you're a Republican, if you're Republican in the broadest sense, there is only one place to go right now, and that's Vick Romney.
That's Santorum four years ago, and Romney's been playing that in robocalls that uh over the weekend in Michigan and so forth.
That's very clever.
As I said in the first hour, it's a very effective ploy.
But Santorum has answered it.
And his answers got everybody all ticked off.
And the reason they're ticked off is because the Republicans listened to Santorum asking Democrats to cross over and vote for him in his own version of Operation Chaos.
Now, as you know, I am the architect of the original Operation Chaos, which was Republicans crossing over in remaining Democrat primary states to vote for Hillary.
And the reasons were there are primarily two of them.
Keep that thing going.
The Republican primary had already wrapped up.
McCain had won it.
I had to find a way to keep this audience to keep you interested in the Democrat side, because frankly, the Democrats and what their daily machinations are not that compelling, but we had to keep interest in it alive for the sake of the show and for the fun of it and all that.
And the second more important reason was is that nobody was vetting Obama.
Nobody was talking about Reverend Wright, nobody was talking about Bill Ayers.
Nobody was asking all the questions that are asked of Republican candidates.
This guy was being portrayed as the Messiah.
Never before have we seen a candidate like this.
And I thought the longer the campaign went on, Mrs. Clinton had the guts to go after the guy.
The Clintons, after all, is who we're talking about here.
And I thought those two things needed to happen.
Now back then that was roundly criticized by the Democrats as making a mockery of our precious and sacred electoral process.
Remember that?
How could I?
A cheap radio trick!
I wasn't really a political thinker.
I was just a radio showman, just a radio entertainer, and I was willing to destroy the American political process all for the sake of ravings and so forth.
But now the Democrats are doing their own.
Two versions of Operation Chaos, both happening in Michigan.
During the campaign, Romney supporters, Romney himself, the Republican establishment has all said that the reason Romney is our guy is that he's electable.
He's the guy to compete Obama.
And for all the obvious reasons.
He's got the best hair, he's got the best voice, he's got the best physique.
And he just looks great on TV.
He's smooth talking, sounds smart, is smart, all the things we need to counter the image of Republicans we've had with uh dumb sounding cowboys, deer in the head light eye, vice presidents, all that stuff, Republican base fed up, Republican Party fed up with nominees that sounded and looked stupid.
And Romney was gonna, and furthermore, the PZ fonts, Romney was going to be able to get the votes of the independents, and only Romney could do that, and only Romney could thus beat Obama.
Romney was the only guy that was electable.
And that was the offer sheet, if you will.
That's what we were given.
That's what we were told.
That's why Romney's the guy.
And the establishment set out to basically end this before it began.
Now here we are in Michigan.
I just want to point out, who is it that is trying to attract Reagan Democrats and independents today?
Santorum.
Santorum is doing...
Attempting to do today what the Republican base says must be done in order to win.
Now, I apologize profusely for noticing that.
I apologize again for pointing it out.
But it's not the kind of thing I can just sit on When I notice it.
Romney today in Lavonia, Michigan, was asked by an unidentified reporter.
What would you say to Grab it's sound by 25?
What would you say to Republican Party members who say that Michigan should never have been this close?
It's your home state.
The greater concern that you have yet been able to excite the Republican base as a whole.
What would you say to Republicans who are worried that you're unable, unable to excite the base?
It's very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments.
We've seen throughout the campaign that if you're willing to say really outrageous things that are accusative and attacking of President Obama, that you're going to jump up in the polls.
I'm not willing to light my hair on fire to try and get support.
I am who I am.
I'm a person with extensive experience in the private sector, in the economy.
So I'm not going to say incendiary attacking things about Obama.
I'm no we've been through the campaign.
If you're willing to say really outrageous things that are accusative and attacking of President Obama, you're going to jump up in the polls, and I'm not going to do that.
Well, I'm I'm a member of the Republican base, assume most of you are.
And so what I hear is that we're incendiary and we react to that, and all we want is for Obama to be attacked.
And I remember.
I well, it is what Democrats say about us.
But I I remember January 16th of 2009, before Obama's been inaugurated about five days or so.
Famous, I hope he fails.
I remember how everybody got scared.
Oh no, what did Limbaugh say?
Oh gosh, can't say that.
First black president.
Oh, gee.
Ah, because everybody in Washington, which is it, uh, was just going the other way.
And that was considered incendiary.
And attacking and all of that.
And now, of course, everybody has pretty much acknowledged that they wished I was right.
They wished he had failed too.
Because in his mind and his agenda, he has not failed.
So that's where we are.
We've got the audio sound bites of all the robocalls going back and forth and the analysis.
Uh I know a lot of people are upset with Santorum doing this Operation Chaos business.
I know a lot of people, I get the email.
People upset Santorum is uh crossing the aisle and trying to get Democrats to vote in the primary today.
Now, I maybe I'm in the minority here, but as the original architect of Operation Chaos, I don't have a problem with it if it's done for the right reason.
There are, and particularly in Michigan, there are a lot of Reagan Democrats who are more socially conservative than there are moderate Republicans.
And it's an open primary state.
There are a lot of Reagan Democrats in Obama has said he's not going to go after those voters.
Those are the traditional white working family voters.
That's who the Reagan Democrats were.
And of course, everybody's discombobed you with the fact the social issues have come up, but as I said, that only happened because Obama, the Democrats, threw them out there.
Now, a Republican base, I look, I'm sorry, folks, I hear what people say, and I live in Realville, and I hear the Republican establishment say we're gonna need these voters to win.
We can't just win with the base.
You know damn well the Republican establishment is embarrassed of its base, and you know damn well they don't think they can win a general election with just Republican base voters showing up.
You know as well as I do the Republican establishment out there saying we gotta get independence.
In fact, they're more worried about getting independence than they are us.
They're more concerned with being loved and adored by the independent voters than they are their own base voters.
Okay, fine.
You believe that.
That's what Santorum is doing in Michigan.
They ought to be patting him on the back.
Santorum is implementing their strategy.
Admittedly, in a primary election, not the general, but he is doing it.
And he's doing it amidst all this talk that Romney is the one who actually appeals to the independence and the Reagan Democrats.
We've heard from the establishment that Romney's the guy to do that.
Romney's the guy that can he's the only guy in his Republican bunch that can go out and get the independence.
And yet who's doing it.
Okay, so we're gonna come back, and we're gonna go to the phones, and you can have at me.
By the way, there is one other factor.
There is one other factor here in Michigan.
And I mentioned it last week.
And I'm sure that uh I forgot it till I was just reminded of it.
And that is Newt pulling out.
Newt not contesting.
Newt knew what was gonna happen.
Newt theorized that his support, what little of it there was, would go to Santorum.
Because Newt's supporters are also made up of the not Romney group.
That is a factor that cannot be ignored, also in uh in what has happened.
We can argue about whether Mitt did this or Newt did this on purpose or not.
Um some people think, nah Newt's not out helping Santorum.
Newt's positioning himself for Newt, which would make sense if Newt still wants to win this thing.
But still, regardless of motivation's a factor.
Okay, Troy, Ohio, and we start with Vicky.
Thank you for waiting, and welcome to the program.
Don't tell me is she gone?
Is uh Vicky not there?
Well, maybe I'm not in for it then.
Vicky was gonna really let me have it.
Joyce in Lincoln, Nebraska, you're next.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, uh Rush, I'm your radio wife.
I'm the one who apologized to you last week because I listened to you for the first time.
I used to think you were nut just because I listened to everybody else and I had to apologize.
I remember.
I remember.
You remember, so now I'm your radio wife.
I just I have many I'm just I'm not gonna rant and rave.
I'm really gonna try not to.
But I have finally made up my mind who I am for.
And I can't get the words of Sarah Palin out of my head.
She said, make sure they're a conservative.
And that just keeps running by.
So who is it?
I'm going for Newt and Kane because they smeared him.
But before that, I want to tell you something.
If the Republicans, just for politics, are gonna put somebody in there to win and to let Obama win, they are putting a cart before the horse.
Well, I know what you're talking about.
I look at she's she's reacting to uh some some comments that have been uh she's a new arrival, folks.
She hated me up till a week ago.
Now she's my wife.
She literally hated me.
I remember her call.
But so she's new to all this, and she's heard she's heard me say that the Republican base, some of them don't are establishment, don't even think that Obama can be beat.
So that that's what she's reacted.
And by the way, that is true.
Now Vicky from Troy, Ohio, was gonna say, well, of course Santorum's where he is, because you've been out there supporting him every day.
That's what she was going to say.
Every comment I make, every commentary I offer, every monologue I deliver is for Santorum.
That's what she was gonna say.
And she wasn't happy about it.
She was angry about it.
When her time came, she was gone.
So that's that's what her point was uh was gonna.
And I'm sure that there are many of you out there who feel the same way.
Uh where are we going next?
Uh Lindsay Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Raj.
I am thrilled to talk to you.
I've been listening to you for years.
Um I just wanted to piggyback on what you were saying about the comment from uh Romney.
He there is a quote as he was addressing the crowd the other day in referring to Obama, he said he's out of ideas and in 2012 he's going to be out of office.
Well, I got news for you, Romney.
He's not out of ideas.
God only knows what he has planned in the next if he gets re-elected.
And if this is the way he's going to address the situation, that's not tough enough to take on the money.
No, no, you're very shrewd.
You are very sh that that comment, I heard him say it, and it went un i i it went uh in one ear and out the other.
And I because you've cited it to me, I now I I know why.
Um if you if that is a stock campaign line that a candidate utters about an opponent.
He's out of ideas and he's out of time, or whatever, whatever it was.
Um or out uh out of ideas and he's gonna be out of office.
Uh that's his that's stock that's campaign 101.
He's out of ideas.
And what it means is that Obama's tried everything and it hasn't worked, and he's running away from it and so forth.
But as you correctly point, Obama's nowhere near out of ideas.
In fact, the truth be told, Obama has barely scratched the surface.
Four more years with no accountability, four more years without having to worry about another election, and believe me, he won't care about the 2014 midterms.
He won't care.
He won't care didddly squat.
He's gonna have four years to remake this country, and he's already talking to governors about how to do it without Congress.
Okay, phones are not what I thought they were gonna be, folks.
I thought it was gonna get ripped to shreds, and I'm not getting ripped to shreds, so we move on.
Mitt Romney, this morning on Fox and Friends, he was uh Albert Brian Kilmead, who said, Governor, as you know yesterday, it was learned that the robocalls were being made.
Wasn't a big secret.
Senator Santorum had paid to get Democrats out in the polls to vote for him and to not vote for you essentially.
Do you feel as though that's a fair tactic?
Well, it's a dirty trick.
It's uh it's outrageous uh to see Rick Santorum team up with the Obama people and go out after union labor in Detroit and get try and get them to vote against me.
Uh look, we don't want Democrats deciding who our nominees gonna be.
We want Republicans deciding who our nominee is gonna be.
I know why Obama doesn't want me to uh face him, uh, but I just think it's outrageous and uh and disgusting, a terrible dirty trick.
At the last hour, by the way, late in the afternoon on the day before the election, maybe hoping no one would notice, they start sending out calls to Democrats, union members, telling him to go into the Republican primary and vote against Mitt Romney.
This is uh reminiscent of the dirty tricks of the past, and it's gotta end, and I think Rick Santorum has a lot of explaining to do.
Okay, folks, what am I supposed to do with this?
Do you realize the gold mine that's in that sound bite?
Dawn, do you realize what the You realize th th th this sound bite is a line-by-line gold mine.
Am I supposed to ignore it?
I know.
I know.
I you y I like all of these guys.
One of them's gonna win.
And whoever it is, I want so badly to beat Obama.
I'll be in there for whoever it is, as I have stated over and over again.
But also, folks, I want them to be the best they can be.
I want them to do this right.
Uh because I want the best shot at beating Obama.
It's outrageous to see Santorum team up with Obama people to go out after union labor in Detroit and try to get them to vote against me.
What is my wife owns a couple Cadillacs and attempt to do?
Get union votes.
Is it not?
I mean, I know he's speaking to the economic club of Detroit, but to list that he owns five Detroit-made automobiles is an attempt at what?
He doesn't have to prove he loves Michigan.
He was born there.
It's his home state.
In addition, Romney has stated over and over again that he's not all that opposed to big labor.
We don't want Democrats deciding who our nominee is going to be.
Well, I understand that.
We don't want the media picking our nominee either.
I totally understand that.
We don't want Democrats deciding who our nominee.
Would you grab audio somebody 25?
We don't want Democrats deciding our nominee.
Okay, well, who then should be the people who decide our nominee?
Republican base members, correct?
Fine.
What was said about them this morning?
It's very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments.
We've seen throughout the campaign that if you're willing to say really outrageous things that are accusative and attacking of President Obama, uh, that you're gonna jump up in the polls.
I'm not willing to like.
That's it.
Okay, so I'm not I'm not gonna do I'm not gonna attack Obama.
He said it over and over again.
Uh Republican base, they have to be incendiary and attacking of Obama, and I'm not gonna do that.
But we don't want Democrats, and we don't want the base picking a nominee.
I don't want to, I don't want to appeal to the base.
Well, then where are we?
And then yeah, Governor Romney, I'll take care of that for you.
They expect they see that's what that's the bottom, they expect me to do the dirty lifting and all of talk radio.
They expect us to do the heavy lifting.
They expect us to take it to Obama because they're afraid of ticking off the independence.
They're afraid of angering the independents.
Okay, well, what's Santorum trying to do today?
He's trying to reach across the and that's dirty politics.
This whole dep Republican primary has been about getting the moderates and the independents from day one, not the conservative base.
I I know Obama doesn't want me to face him, but I just think it's outrageous and disgusting.
A terrible dirty trick.
I don't know, folks.
I I think when you're throwing hardballs in politics, you don't.
When finally somebody throws one back at you, you swing at it instead of ducking.
I don't know.
I this is this is this.
This is hazard pay.
For me, this this is hazard pay.
Like said Don just said, well, you can kiss your invitation to the Lincoln bedroom goodbye, as though I'm angling for that.
I've already been there, done that.
But but I I know what she means.
At the last hour, by the way, late in the afternoon, day before the election, maybe hoping nobody would notice, they start sending out calls to Democrats and Union members telling them to go in a Republican primary and vote against Romney.
This is reminiscent of the dirty tricks in the past.
It's gotta end.
I think Santorum has a lot of explaining to do.
Now we move on.
We have um Michigan Democrats.
This is this is last night, Aaron Burnett show on CNN.
She's talking to Michigan Democrat strategist Joe Desano about Michigan's Operation Chaos.
She said, How many people do you think you're gonna get?
Meaning Democrats to come in and vote for the uh vote for Santorum here.
I know you said you had 12,000 of them already.
Some people say that's an inflated and inaccurate number.
What's your response?
We've had a program over the past seven days to identify as of earlier today, 12,000.
I think it might be a couple thousand higher once I start going through the data tonight, but we're gonna do everything we can to turn those folks out.
And this is a razor-thin election.
Mitt Romney is incredibly weak as a candidate.
This is his home state.
Rick Santorum's a religious fanatic who has absolutely zero reason being in this race other than the fact that Nick can't close the deal.
It does sound like you think Mitt is stronger than Rick.
That's why you're doing this.
But however, you and Rush Limbaugh, I get it.
That's works on both sides.
Okay, so there that this is the Michigan Democrat.
Santorum's a religious fanatic.
How in the hell is he still here?
My gosh, he's probably saying what a lot of you are.
He's probably saying what a lot of the Republican established are religious fanatic.
How in the heck did this happen?
But I'm going to tell you, remember what Mrs. Clinton said when Operation Chaos was going after Rush, be careful what you wish for.
Well, I'm going to tell you, Democrats, be careful what you wish for here, because I can cite you, I've got it in the stack, poll after poll, data after data, the social issues are not hurting Romn, or hurting Santorum.
The social issues are helping Santorum.
One of the reasons Santorum's alive and viable is precisely because of them.
Look, he has something about him which is unique, and that is his fearlessness in standing up for moral values and social issues.
Why shouldn't he use it?
It's a way he can stand out from the pack.
It's a way he can show people he's not the typical Republican to put his head in the sand and act afraid of everything that comes up.
Why shouldn't he use this stuff?
Don't forget Stanley Greenberg's memo.
We told you last week, the big Democrat poster said Obama, this is Carville's polling company.
If you think that you can create this image of a roaring back-to-life economy, it isn't gonna work because people aren't living it.
Greenberg, it right here.
I had the story printed out earlier today because I remembered it from last week.
Dem polster voters don't think America's back.
Voters don't want the federal government mandating where they get contraceptives from.
And by the way, if the government's gonna mandate contraceptives, why don't they start mandating something that really matters?
Why just contraceptives?
People are sophisticated now.
They understand the political ploy that's involved in this.
But the social issues are not hurting.
Folks, if the social issues, and remember Jeff Bell, we've talked about his book.
He's gone back and he's looked at Republican elections in the past and the last two elections where Republicans won the popular vote, the last two presidential elections, social issues were prominent in that Republican's campaign.
Now, folks, if the social issues were gonna kill somebody, how is Santorum still alive?
Remember, we're told the social issues half the Republican Party don't want them discussed either.
So Santorum ought to be nowhere near viable.
But all the polling data suggests it's the opposite.
It's like I always say, don't buy into and believe all the conventional wisdom in politics.
So here David, oh no, sorry, here's Carville himself.
Carville was on Aaron Burnett out front last night.
And she asked him, What do you think?
They actually think these people, the Democrats could cross over and vote for Santorum, or is this just you guys trying to play mischief and spoil this?
Well, first of all, it's hard enough to get Democrats to vote in a Democratic primary.
I doubt he's gonna have very much luck getting the vote in a Republican primary.
Yeah, he did.
Pennsylvania, no way.
You know, so uh my experience with him is always not very successful.
Uh he's trying to scrap every every vote here, and you know, some of the uh democratic organizations in Michigan had sort of talked about this, but my guess is its effect is gonna be fairly negligible.
Oh, maybe I'll be proven wrong, but we'll see.
I'm so enthusiastic about this.
I don't think uh Rush Lindbaugh had Operation Chaos.
I think Russ Lindbutta, he knows damn well Operation Chaos.
They all know about and and we're we're now just really finding out how effective it was.
And now they're emulating it.
Now they're emulating it, and at the same time trying to put it down.
But Carv.
Yeah, I know it I'd march.
I told you, I'd a march, the first 38 minutes of that movie is about Operation Chaos.
And how ticked off the Democrats were over it.
The Ides of March, a nominated movie.
The first 38 minutes is about how the Democrat, it's a it's a gubernatural candidate, I think, in uh Ohio, is gonna use his own Operation Chaos.
They're ticked off about it.
They're happily using it in Michigan.
But Carville doesn't sound that all thrilled.
He doesn't sound all that into it.
I'm not sure what he thinks is going on.
I think everybody is confused now over Santorum doing well and why.
This folks, you understand this goes against every syllable of conventional wisdom in American big time politics.
None of this should be happening.
None of it.
Here's David Frum.
He was also on Aaron Burn uh Aaron Burnett out front last night.
So she turned to Frum.
She said, look, by saying, hey, Democrats, come over and vote for Santorum, is this insanity?
No, I think it's uh nostalgia that Rick Santorum remembers a time when there were a lot of um socially conservative Democrats uh who were not averse to the Republican economic message, the famous Reagan Democrats of thirty years ago.
Um I think this is a case where you see a kind of um the weakness of the Santorum campaign staffing operation because those people are not there in the strength that they used to be.
And the place where the independents today are, they are disaffiliated Republicans.
They are on the the independents said to be more on the far right than they are on this Reagan Democrat middle.
And the action, of course, is to uh among the best educated and most affluent of those people will be pulled to Mitt Romney, not to Rick Santorum.
So the the the conventional wisdom here from Express is there aren't that many Reagan Democrats anymore.
So it's it's not a smart play.
There aren't that many of them.
Um I'm not sure that's true, but regardless, doesn't matter.
Taking everything he's got that is unique about himself and he's trumpeting it.
Fearlessly so.
Here's a fun thought, if you want to play it out.
If the Democrats actually do help Santorum get the nomination, as as unlikely as that seems, and as as as impossible as it even now, as impossible as it seems Santorum get the nomination.
If the Democrats help Santorum get the nomination, and then he beats Obama because I think he would think any of these guys is going to beat Obama, folks.
Any of them is going to beat Obama.
If they help Santorum get the nomination, he beats Obama.
What will Carble and the other Democrats say then as they're jumping off the nearest bridge?
Back to the phones.
We go to Tempe, Arizona, and this is Mark.
Thank you for calling, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
It's nice to talk to you again.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Um, you know, I think the Obama camp wants to run against Romney and Romney care as opposed to Santorum, because Santorum is a true conservative.
And if we don't get a Tea Party turnout during the primaries, we're going to suffer the consequences.
I think that the uh Democratic operatives have been crossing over since they have a lock on the uh Democrat.
Well, wait a minute.
What what do you mean if we don't get uh Tea Party uh turnout during the primaries?
We need a large turnout.
We need a large Tea Party turnout.
In order to get who we want.
You know, if they want Romney, that's fine.
I'm for Santorum.
But I think that if we don't get a large turnout, we're going to get snookered because the Democratic operatives are advice and switching parties to vote on our primaries.
So you think the Democrat operation chaos has been going on long before Michigan.
And you think the Democrats want Romney.
Yes, I do.
Well, then how come he hadn't won every one of them?
Because of that turnout.
Well, I thought you were complaining it hadn't been turned out.
Well, I'm encouraging.
I don't want people to fall asleep.
Okay, you think Obama you think Obama wants to run against Romney because of uh Romney care.
Yes, I do.
And Wall Street.
Yes, I do.
And you think he doesn't want to run against Santorum because he's conservative.
Yep, I think that'll bring out the people from the woodworks.
I think that Uh, America, I'm just like you.
I think America is uh basically conservative, and uh they just stay home when they don't like the candidate.
Well, you may be right, except I don't think so.
I don't think you're right yet.
I think the White House is salivating over the positive we we know, and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I think they're salivating.
I think that they believe, enough of them believe, that if they make these social issues a number one issue in a presidential campaign that they're gonna win eighty percent of the vote.
