RUSH: This is continuing to happen with greater frequency — yesterday<\/a>, today <\/a>— and it will continue to happen if I don\u2019t say something about it. What\u2019s happening is people are calling and telling me that I have a duty because of the power that I have and the influence that I have (which, of course, both are considerable) to pick someone right now among the conservative Republican presidential candidates. Pick that person, get behind \u2019em, and put \u2019em over the top.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, each person that calls (it\u2019s very interesting) tells me I should pick their guy. One guy says Cain, one guy says Perry, one guy says Bachmann. I do not endorse candidates until I\u2019m ready to endorse candidates. If I felt comfortable endorsing someone right now, I would. I do it when I personally feel like I can, and I\u2019ve not decided who I support among the conservatives — and when people call here who have already made their decisions and insist that I make a decision, what they\u2019re really saying is that they want me to back the person that they like. I understand that. Now, here\u2019s a fact for you (and I mentioned this at the top of the program today): 70% of the Republicans polled are split all over the map, but they know that they do not support Romney.<\/p>\n

The reason is simple: Romney is not a conservative. He\u2019s not, folks. You can argue with me all day long on that, but he isn\u2019t. What he has going for him is that he\u2019s not Obama and that he is doing incredibly well in the debates because he\u2019s done it a long time. He\u2019s very seasoned. He never makes a mistake, and he\u2019s going to keep winning these things if he never makes a mistake. It\u2019s that simple. But I\u2019m not personally ready to settle on anybody yet — and I know that neither are most of you, and I also know that most of you do not want this over now, before we\u2019ve even had a single primary! All we\u2019ve had are straw votes. You know that the Republican establishment\u2019s trying to nail this down and end it. You know that that\u2019s happening, and I know that you don\u2019t want that to happen, and neither do I.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, as for Romney — and you should know, by the way, that I\u2019ve met Romney. I\u2019ve not played golf with him but I\u2019ve met him, and I like all of these people. This isn\u2019t personal, not with what country faces and so forth. I like him very much. I\u2019ve spent some social time with him. He\u2019s a fine guy. He\u2019s very nice gentleman. He is a gentleman. But he\u2019s not a conservative — and if you disagree, I\u2019m open. The telephone lines are yours. Call and tell me what you think it is that makes him a principled conservative, what exactly is it. Is there something that he has said that shows conservative, principled leadership? What did he say? I\u2019m open to it. Now, we\u2019re told that governors are better than legislators when looking for presidents for a host of reasons.<\/p>\n

Legislators are filled with ego, they sit around and by “yes” men, they\u2019re not executives, and they\u2019re one of many, and the buck never really stops with them. Governors, it\u2019s just the exact opposite. But when we look at the record, and we bring up Romneycare, we\u2019re told, “Well, that\u2019s been he was a governor, but as president he wouldn\u2019t do any such thing.” What? What do you mean he wouldn\u2019t do any such thing? He did it is the point. He has positions as governor that make it obvious he believes in the concept of manmade global warming. “Yeah, but that was as governor, Rush. It\u2019s a liberal state. He had to do things to get elected.” Um, there\u2019s gonna be a lot of liberal pressure on whoever our president is: Media, Democrat members of Congress that the media\u2019s gonna fawn all over.<\/p>\n

Every night you\u2019ll have Harry Reid and Pelosi on camera commenting on what the new conservative president\u2019s doing. There\u2019s gonna be all kinds of liberal pressure on whoever our next president is who\u2019s a Republican conservative. The Romneycare health care bill has individual mandates, and they\u2019re wrong. Individual mandates are wrong whether they\u2019re imposed by a governor or a president. Governor McDonnell of Virginia has not done what Romney did in Massachusetts, and neither have most other Republican governors. Governor McDonnell of Virginia is running a very small deficits, but surplus, in fact, I think. His unemployment rate in Virginia is way down. Nobody talks about him for the presidency, because he himself has not put himself out there for it.<\/p>\n

But most Republican governors are not having to fall back on the federalism argument to justify what they did. “Well, it\u2019s states\u2019 rights. You know, we\u2019re laboratories. We can do whatever we want to do. I wouldn\u2019t do it, of course, at the federal level! I wouldn\u2019t do it. But, of course, the governors we gotta experiment with things,” and the reason that they\u2019re not falling back on federalism is because, as governors, they didn\u2019t make terrible policy decisions that they now have to justify. So if we are going to look at a governor\u2019s record, what exactly do we find? There\u2019s manmade global warming, and Romney has indicated that he believes in it and he has supported laws in Massachusetts built on it. The EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, in the federal government is out of control.<\/p>\n

The EPA intends to use carbon dioxide to regulate industry in this country and it\u2019s killing our economy, and we don\u2019t need somebody who wants that kind of thing to happen. We don\u2019t want somebody who thinks that the world is falling apart and the climate is crumbling because of what we\u2019re doing as human beings and who will sustain an EPA to get it under control. That\u2019s what liberal Democrat presidents do! We don\u2019t need to even go there, or to pretend. I was right, Virginia does have a budget surplus. They have a $545 million budget surplus, in this economy. So how does a president who believes in manmade global warming and presumably believes it needs to be regulated cut back the EPA? “Well, Rush, that was Massachusetts. Again, it\u2019s a liberal state. He\u2019s gotta get elected, and he\u2019s gotta stay elected, and he\u2019s gotta work with a liberal Democrat legislature.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Well, the same things are gonna happen to a president. There are some liberals in the country, and they\u2019re very loud and vocal, and there are gonna be a lot of liberals in the Congress, and they are gonna be making a lot of noise. And he\u2019s gonna have to work with them. And, see, that\u2019s the rub, isn\u2019t it, when you get right down to it? Aren\u2019t we tired of working with the opposition? And aren\u2019t we tired of saying that the number one qualification for our nominee ought to be to be able to work with our opponents? Isn\u2019t the point to defeat them, isn\u2019t that what the election results of 2010 were all about? Didn\u2019t the American people send a signal loud and clear November 2010, “We don\u2019t want Obamaism. We don\u2019t want liberalism”? We don\u2019t want to cross the aisle and work with these people. There\u2019s nothing Chuck Schumer advocates that we want part of. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s gonna happen on immigration? Right now, as we speak, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are working together on a comprehensive immigration plan that they hope to be able to get passed, that will essentially be amnesty. They\u2019re hoping to avoid that word being attached to it. But what will happen? This isn\u2019t 30 years ago or 40 years ago where the deficit was too high and out of control. We have reached a tipping point here. I know that you, members of this audience, typify the American people, and you are way ahead of the Washington establishment. <\/p>\n

Let me ask you this. The Republican National Committee, when is the last time that you saw an ad or anything sponsored by them attacking Obama, what he stands for, setting the terms, defining the parameters of the upcoming election? You haven\u2019t. They\u2019re nowhere near caught up with us, where we are and how we view the future of the country and the dangers that lurk not around the corner, but right straight ahead. It\u2019s not the day for the politics of old where you just share power every four, eight years with the other party and act congenial with one another, and that\u2019s the DC establishment. They all live with the understanding they\u2019re gonna win some, they\u2019re gonna lose some, but the other side plays that for all it\u2019s worth. <\/p>\n

They make us think that they\u2019re part of that mind-set but they\u2019re out to destroy everything we believe in. They\u2019re out to destroy the people who personify the politics that we believe in. And I don\u2019t mean just destroy \u2019em at the polls; I mean they\u2019re out to destroy them personally. Lives, character, you name it, the evidence is there each and every day. Ain\u2019t beanbag. I just don\u2019t want a president that\u2019s gonna think the EPA ought to be empowered to act on a hoax, or that believes that government should have the ability to mandate that people go out and buy health insurance. That\u2019s for the other party to do. That\u2019s for the other party to lose on! And they must lose on it. The future of the country hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s what Romney said back in June, and it\u2019s typical of his comments on global warming in general. He said, “I don\u2019t speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world is getting warmer. I can\u2019t prove it but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. Number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I don\u2019t know how much our contribution is to that because I know that there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past, but I believe we contribute to it.” And I remember having a cow that day when he said it. I cringed. And I was surprised this didn\u2019t come up last night. <\/p>\n

Some of this stuff makes me think that the second tier really doesn\u2019t think they have much of a chance and that they\u2019re running for president for something else. You know, it\u2019s great to go on television after this campaign\u2019s all over with the moniker “former presidential candidate” under your name if you\u2019re guesting on Greta or some Fox show or anywhere else, “former presidential candidate Herman Cain.” It\u2019s a status symbol. My only point is that there are vulnerabilities with Romney and they\u2019re not going after him. Plain and simple. Didn\u2019t come up last night. If belief in global warming, manmade global warming will have a huge impact on our economy if it is fully implemented, if we have policies based on the prospect or the concept that human beings, that your car, your lawn mower and your barbecue pit are causing global warming, there\u2019s no difference in the current regime. That\u2019s what they believe. <\/p>\n

And, meanwhile, the media establishment attacks Romney anyway for it for being too timid on the subject. That quote of you I just read, that\u2019s too timid, he\u2019s not fully committed here. And then some of those candidates might be running for Romney\u2019s VP slot. Some people said that Romney really set Michele Bachmann up for that last night by asking her a real softball question that elevated her. You thought that? A lot of people thought that that was all about Romney knows he needs the Tea Party. So get a Tea Party person on the ticket, maybe, Michele Bachmann, or at least be nice, play nice. Play nice to Herman Cain, too. (interruption) That\u2019s one way of looking at it, just kicked it out of bounds. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Jonathan in Savannah, Georgia, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call, sir. I just wanted to say I\u2019m getting tired of the people calling in asking you to endorse a candidate. I don\u2019t find that it\u2019s your job or your duty. I think that the duty lies on us to take the information that you present us with to make the best decision.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They have their candidate and they want me to move their candidate forward, that\u2019s what it is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. I mean I feel like you\u2019re there to educate us on the things that we may not have time to find, examine, and we don\u2019t have, you know, the resources, and really, you know, the duty lies on us as your listeners and the American people to get out and vote, and to make the best decision based on the information we get whether it\u2019s through your show or through other sources.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know what you\u2019re right about? What you\u2019re essentially saying is the audience, people like you are not mind-numbed robots. You make up your own mind on this stuff. And I\u2019ve always had that opinion of this audience. When this show first started, this audience was accused of being just a bunch of mind-numbed robots waiting for me, the pied piper, to tell \u2019em what to do and think, and it\u2019s never been that way. So I appreciate your comments.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And it\u2019s important for me, by the way, to always keep in perspective what I do, who I am, and who I\u2019m not. If you lose track of that, you get in big trouble. Besides, picking the Republican nominee is Colin Powell\u2019s job. Everybody knows that. Colin Powell is in charge of that, not me. All of this reminds me of the saying, nobody can make anybody happy. That\u2019s your job. You can only make yourself happy. If you\u2019re depending on somebody else to make you happy, you are gonna make two people miserable. There\u2019s no doubt about that. It\u2019s the same way with politics. You have to find your own bliss.<\/p>\n

RUSH: D.J. in Gramercy, Louisiana, welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, dittos, Rush, dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Look, I wanted to watch the debate last night, but it wasn\u2019t available on any of the channels on my TV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you have cable?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it might not be on your cable system.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. So I was looking earlier this morning, and all the newspaper sources I had to try to find good coverage on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I found it on the London Telegraph.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, the UK press is doing a much better job than the domestic press on American politics.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They did a marvelous job on it and they praised Herman Cain a great deal, and he was in yesterday\u2019s paper also, he was in the London Telegraph yesterday also.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Somebody out there likes him very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, did it influence your thinking at all?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, it didn\u2019t, because I\u2019m already very much locked into three candidates.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Cain is one, Gingrich is the other, and Bachmann is the third.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well. So you are trying to choose between three conservatives?<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I like them all very much. I would be pleased to vote for any one of the above.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s great, D.J., look, I\u2019m glad you called. You are absolutely right, the UK press runs rings around our people, including coverage of domestic politics. They really do. Even the liberal newspapers like The Guardian run rings around our people, and it\u2019s not hard to understand. They\u2019re not personally invested as the domestic Drive-Bys are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
