You\u2019re usually the one that\u2019s telling us don\u2019t get all down in the dumps and don\u2019t anticipate the worst, and it\u2019s not like you to go pessimistic on this.&#8221; I was thinking about this last night after the interview because there are always things in an interview you wish you had said when it\u2019s over, and the subject of optimism-pessimism didn\u2019t really come up specifically, but I think we\u2019re looking at this pessimism thing turned in the wrong direction. If you listen to what I am saying, it\u2019s not inconsistent with anything else I\u2019ve said. I\u2019m saying that we can accomplish things as a majority. I\u2019m saying we can triumph over Democrats. I am saying we can nail their coffin shut. <\/line><BR\/>My optimism is robust, and it\u2019s visible, and it\u2019s all over the place, and those who are saying, &#8220;we can\u2019t,&#8221; that, &#8220;Okay, Rush, we have to settle for whatever the weakest link of five senators say&#8211;&#8221; In other words, &#8220;Well, hey, we gotta get somebody in there. We can\u2019t count on Olympia Snowe and Linc Chafee and Susan Collins, all right, so we\u2019re settling.&#8221; Let me ask you a question. I\u2019m going to ask you a point-blank, blunt question. Every one of you who are married or are in a relationship, or if you don\u2019t want to think of your marriage or your relationship with anybody, think about your job. How many of you regret the decision that you made? Because you settled, thought it was the best you could do at the time? Didn\u2019t really have all that much confidence or faith in yourself? So how many of you are in circumstances that you really don\u2019t like, that you resent or lament because you settled? No, I\u2019m trying every which way I can here to make a point. What are you doing in there, Snerdley, what\u2019s the problem? Is this too personal? Sometimes this is the only way to drive home a point. Well, the point, we all have felt that way, have we not? The people that have not been resentful or disappointed or sad at some point over decisions they made, those are very few people that have never experienced that. When you settle, you sell yourself short. Settling is what pessimists do. Settling is what people with no confidence do. So don\u2019t tell me that I\u2019ve lost my optimism. I\u2019m the can-do guy on this, and I\u2019m the one that\u2019s maintaining some high standards, knowing full well they can be achieved.
