RUSH: Here\u2019s Andy in Lemoore, California. Andy, I\u2019m glad you called, and welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a question and maybe a comment. It seems to me that you\u2019re absent any kind of evaluation as to the performance of Mitt Romney yesterday on Meet the Press. I\u2019m just curious as to why that seems to be the case?<\/p>\n

RUSH: In fact, I\u2019ve got some Romney sound bites coming up in the second half hour of the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well, you know, I guess my thoughts on that is and I know I\u2019m going to be kind of bold, unlike what he seems to be.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I don\u2019t see much of depth to him. He seems to be very just political, and it was interesting that you were talking about appearances and so forth, because on the surface this guy looks great — and, you know, I haven\u2019t been following these people that are in the Republican Party very long, but last week, Mitt made a pretty neat little speech there with George H. W. Bush —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was great. By the way, that was a fabulous speech for what it was.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree with you, and unfortunately, he didn\u2019t seem to carry that same kind of a fortitude in his gut over to yesterday\u2019s performance, and I guess one of the things that really bothered me most was that when he was asked by Tim Russert if he would use, you know, the liberal terminology and try to catch people, a litmus — quote, unquote, litmus — test, of course not. It was just so political. It was so superficial to me. Nothing that I could really sink my teeth into. It bothered me. As an atheist, even being thought to have a position on the Supreme Court? Ludicrous!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did he say an atheist could serve on the Supreme Court?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He said that. ‘Would there be a litmus test?\u2019 in other words, if somebody —<\/p>\n

RUSH: The litmus test question is, ‘Are you going to make sure somebody wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade?\u2019 It\u2019s all about abortion. That\u2019s an abortion question. The atheist question came up: ‘Do you think atheists could be moral?\u2019 He said yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah. Yeah, I think that the litmus test is always used — you\u2019re correct — but this is in the context of who would be suited to be on the Supreme Court, and I thought that it was very weak of him not to just come out and say, ‘No, I believe that the Founding Fathers had a position, and that position was based on morality and godliness, and I don\u2019t see any reason why we shouldn\u2019t use this, quote, unquote, litmus test to see who is suited to be on a court that has so much power.\u2019 I don\u2019t think that\u2019s far-fetched, at all.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I agree with you about one thing. I wish you would have carried over to the themes that he addressed in that speech. He had the opportunity because Russert spent, what, 20 minutes of a whole hour yesterday talking about Mormonism and religion? He had the opening to do it. He had to know Russert was going to do that. You can\u2019t blame Russert. If you agree to go on the show, the show is what it is so you gotta be able to handle what they ask.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, absolutely. I\u2019m not blaming Russert at all.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You can\u2019t say, ‘Well, the Democrats don\u2019t get asked these questions,\u2019 because you know there\u2019s a different standard.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Of course, I understand that. Of course, what it is is there\u2019s the leadership quality that you didn\u2019t see him fill. I\u2019ve been beholding judgment and just trying to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to ask you a question, and I\u2019m not being frivolous with this or any other ‘-ous\u2019 with this. But I want to know something from you. How did you think he looked? Physically.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs) Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Forget what he said, forget the words. How did he look?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, this is interesting. I was listening while I was waiting online, and you were talking about appearances, and I\u2019m telling you, the guy looks great. He looks presidential. He had the appearance. I mean, if you were to have a picture of somebody that would be put into a presidential mode, he\u2019s the man. But see, that means very little to me, and I don\u2019t think it means a whole lot to the majority of the American people. I really believe that. But that\u2019s not to say that there aren\u2019t also quite a few people in the American group that do care about nothing more than appearances. But, no, he looked great. But what does that mean? I mean I\u2019m interested in what the guy thinks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand what you\u2019re saying. I\u2019m telling you it means more than you know. This is not… Don\u2019t misunderstand anything, folks. I don\u2019t endorse people in the primaries unless there\u2019s just two people and one of them is clearly above the other, and that\u2019s not the case here yet. It\u2019s tough. I\u2019ve met Mitt Romney one time, and it was about 45 minutes, and he was genuine and nice. There was not one moment in that 45 minutes I thought I was talking with an actor who was trying to spin me or show me something about himself that wasn\u2019t really true, but that\u2019s true of Bush, too. Bush is so different in person than he is when you see him on television. It\u2019s striking, the difference.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have no reason to doubt you, that\u2019s for sure. I never met him. I guess to me it just —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You sound just like Romney, by the way. You sound very much like Romney. Your inflection, your intonation, sound a lot like Romney.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You sound very genuine to me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, I would hope to think that I am. I would think that you are as well and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve listened to you for so long.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you tending to want to vote Republican in the presidential race?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I gotta tell you, I have to confess, I don\u2019t vote, normally, because I live in California. I already know what the outcome is going to be, it is incredibly liberal, and I know this is no excuse, but I always tell people, ‘If the candidate that I would vote for loses by one vote, I will apologize.\u2019 But I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be the case. California is… I\u2019m not going to make a difference. I\u2019m just an observer looking at all of this and, to me, it just sickens me to see the lack of any fire in the belly from any of these people. Now, I can say this, however: On the Democratic side, those people are just pathetic, in my mind. You want to talk about a lack of genuineness, they are par excellence. They have zero in my opinion.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Well, I was going to bring that up, but I decided not to because, you know, I didn\u2019t want you to think I was saying, ‘Hey, Mitt can be that if Hillary is.\u2019 I didn\u2019t want you to think I was saying that. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs) I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you\u2019re right, there\u2019s no authenticity on that side of the aisle either.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No kidding. I just don\u2019t know. It just struck me. Something so basic as to who we would choose to be on the Supreme Court, and yet he seemed to vacillate on that, and then he used the word ‘fees\u2019 rather than taxes, which is what they are. Tim and he had a little battle back and forth, back and forth; it was on and on and on. So he was painful, to be perfectly honest with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we\u2019ll play some of these sound bites in the next half hour and you\u2019ll have — the audience will have — a chance to hear what you heard. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. We have a couple of them here. Mitt Romney was on Meet the Press with Tim Russert yesterday, and here\u2019s Russert\u2019s question. ‘Here was the headline in the papers in June of \u201978. ‘Mormon Church Dissolves Black Bias. Citing new revelation from God, the president of the Mormon Church decreed for the first time black males could fully participate in church rites.\u2019 You were 31 years old, and your church was excluding blacks from full participation. Didn\u2019t you think, ‘What am I doing part of an organization that is viewed by many as a racist organization?”<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: I\u2019m very proud of my faith, and it\u2019s the faith of my fathers, and I certainly believe that it is a, a faith — well, it\u2019s true and I love my faith. And I\u2019m not going to distance myself in any way from my faith. But you can see what I believed and what my family believed by looking at, at our lives. My dad marched with Martin Luther King. My mom was a tireless crusader for civil rights. I was anxious to see a change in my church. I can remember when, when I heard about the change being made. I was driving home from, I think, it was law school, but I was driving home, going through the Fresh Pond rotary in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I heard it on the radio, and I pulled over and, and literally wept. Even at this day it\u2019s emotional…<\/p>\n

RUSH: He just teared up there on Meet the Press. I wonder… I forgot to ask the guy from Lemoore, California, if he thought this was a staged, you know, politicians tearing up. It\u2019s a risky move if you try it. If it\u2019s genuine, there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. (interruption) Well, the global warming guy tried it, but he didn\u2019t tear up, he couldn\u2019t speak. He had to leave the stage, the global warming guy. That Yvo de Boer, or ‘Ybo\u2019 de Boer. Yeah, but that\u2019s another story. Then the next story from Russert: ‘Mike Huckabee said that the George Bush presidency\u2019s foreign policy is ‘arrogant\u2019 and a ‘bunker mentality.”<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: That\u2019s an insult to the president, and Mike Huckabee should apologize to the president.<\/p>\n

RUSSERT: This is what Mitt Romney said about Iraq, however, in September this year. ‘OK, well, first of all, it is a mess.\u2019<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: Well, it is a mess. There\u2019s no question, if you, if you…<\/p>\n

RUSSERT: That\u2019s no reflection on George Bush?<\/p>\n

ROMNEY: If you\u2019re suggesting that it\u2019s equivalent to say that we made a number of errors and that we have a very difficult situation in Iraq, that\u2019s the same as saying the president is ‘arrogant\u2019 and ‘bunker mentality\u2019? That\u2019s where he went over the line. (snip) [I]t\u2019s very different to point out the mistakes that have been made — and the president\u2019s pointed out the mistakes as well — and then to say that the Bush administration, our president, is ‘arrogant\u2019 with a ‘bunker mentality,\u2019 that\u2019s a completely different statement for which Mike Huckabee owes the president an apology.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, these are the two that we have. Cookie, don\u2019t bother to go get \u2019em, it\u2019s not… Well, maybe for tomorrow, the atheist and the Supreme Court questions, since that\u2019s what the guy from Lemoore, California, was asking about. But these two bites, folks, I just ask you: Does this sound like a calculating actor, as the guy from Lemoore said Romney sounded to him? See, it goes back to the point I was making at the top of the program. When you hear somebody and you don\u2019t see them, I guarantee you… I guarantee you… How many times have you been driving and you listen to a political debate, whatever it is. You listen to a speech on the radio. You you\u2019re listening to, I don\u2019t care, baseball game, sports. You listen to it on the radio. You have to provide the picture. This is what\u2019s great about radio, by the way: The talented broadcast specialist doing radio paints a picture with words. I\u2019m serious. Television zones you out. Television gives you the picture. You don\u2019t have to think. You can just use one half, maybe one third of all your sensory perceptions. On radio, you gotta use it all. <\/p>\n

You have to formulate the picture. You have to listen to the words which help formulate the picture. It\u2019s what we call in this business ‘active participation,\u2019 ‘active listening\u2019 rather than passive. You know, there is passive listening to radio, and that\u2019s when you listen to elevator music stations. You can have it on in the background. You don\u2019t really care what\u2019s going on. But a program like this, which is compelling, is called active. Television can be passive. You can have television on and be doing gobs of other things. You can have your television on, have your attention be distracted, and you really don\u2019t mind. Radio is a little bit different thing because you\u2019re totally engaged. So when you listen to Romney here, and you don\u2019t see him, you don\u2019t have any idea what he looks like, does he come across as calculating, and an actor, and contrived? It doesn\u2019t to me. But if you see it, you might come up with an entirely different perception, which is also I was saying at the top of this first hour about how important visual perceptions are with our Hollywood-born and bred addiction to perfection. Now, Huckabee responded to Romney on Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer yesterday. Blitzer said, ‘Okay, Romney wants you to apologize to the president. What do you say?\u2019<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I\u2019m the one who actually supported the president\u2019s surge. I supported the Bush tax cuts when Mr. Romney didn\u2019t. I was with President Bush on gun control and Mitt Romney wasn\u2019t. I was with the president on the president\u2019s pro-life position when Mitt Romney wasn\u2019t. I was with the president on his position on same-sex relationships and marriage when Mitt Romney wasn\u2019t. I was with the president on the legacy of the president\u2019s dad and Ronald Reagan, when Mitt Romney wasn\u2019t. So, you know, I don\u2019t have anything to apologize for.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Not a bad answer, folks, not a bad answer. He didn\u2019t answer the question, but it\u2019s not a bad answer. He didn\u2019t talk about Bush and the ‘bunker mentality\u2019 and so forth. He was very critical of Bush foreign policy. ‘No, I was with the president on the surge.\u2019 I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s accurate on all these claims about where Romney was and wasn\u2019t, any of that, but still a good answer — and you don\u2019t apologize. I don\u2019t care what. With something like this, you don\u2019t apologize. That\u2019s when you look like you are weak. It\u2019s one of the cardinal rules for young media stars of the future: You don\u2019t apologize until you have established a deep and loyal connection with your audience, and, when it\u2019s genuinely required, but you don\u2019t do it to gain points. You don\u2019t do it to score points. You don\u2019t do it for any reason other than being genuine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
