RUSH: To nation\u2019s capital, Washington, DC. This is Brian. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega dittos to you. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening to you since I was in junior high. I don\u2019t remember what I said exactly, but I was with my family. I was probably 14 years old. I said something, and my grandpa\u2019s response was, “Has he been listening to Rush Limbaugh?” and that\u2019s when I figured I needed to tune in to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And it was shortly after that that you arrived.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) And I promise you I\u2019m going to get on and order me some Two If By Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: I had a question for you, though, and I\u2019m wondering if you see any comparisons, any similarities between Barack Obama and Herman Cain, aside from the obvious; and what I mean by that is, we all know Barack Obama was hugely unqualified to be president. He had no private company experience, he had limited public experience, but I look at Herman Cain —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He never had a job!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. I mean, he was just so grossly unqualified. But I look at Herman Cain, and I want to like him. He\u2019s not the establishment, he\u2019s not Mitt Romney.<\/a> But I look at his experience and he doesn\u2019t have any public experience, and I wonder if a lack of legislative experience will impair him a little bit; and then I look at his public company experience, and granted he was CEO of —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — Godfather\u2019s pizza, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me answer this because time is dwindling here. Politics is a business like any other, and it has its own track of success. It has its own ladder. I mean, there are certain things that you do have to do to advance. I mean, you could win an election being a novice, but then when you get there, you can be outmaneuvered. You can be outsmarted, if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing about how the business of politics works. But I want to give you another way to think of this. Since you are obviously a critical thinker and open-minded. I want you to put yourself in his shoes for the past ten days, two weeks, and I want you to stop and consider everything. This is not an endorsement. I want you to think about this: Think about everything he has been through, and where is he today after it?<\/p>\n

In that debate last night, he was simply outstanding. Now, he has been subjected to an outrageous smear media campaign, and he\u2019s handled it like a man. He has not cracked. He has not caved. He has not gone weak. His attitude doesn\u2019t appear to have gone negative or sour. He doesn\u2019t appear to be tainted by this. I see somebody here who is showing some incredible discipline. He\u2019s powerfully disciplined, and he\u2019s upbeat after all of this, unflappable. He\u2019s laughable about it. He shows some wit and some intelligence, and he is focused. He keeps running around there talking about this 9-9-9 plan. He\u2019s not stopped him, even though he\u2019s had to address it. So you might want to look — and, again, I\u2019m not — at him in a different way here and ask yourself how you would be after ten days of an entire political party trying to ruin your life, your character, your reputation, and your future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
