RUSH: Charlotte, North Carolina, Jim, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A longtime listener.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: A longtime listener, always been aligned with you on everything, and I have to say that now I\u2019m, for the first time, disappointed and genuinely concerned.<\/p>\n

RUSH: With me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: With your lack of support of Romney.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I really feel like it\u2019s a concern within your base. I think your base is now divided, because there\u2019s so much that you could have done in this case that wasn\u2019t done.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Such as…? I mean, you know I\u2019m bound by my policy not to endorse in primaries.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Endorsing is not the issue as much as clarifying within the minds of the people that listen to you daily, who think the way that you do, some of the things that are misconceptions with regard to this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019d love to agree with you here, but when I look at McCain\u2019s voters, the majority of his voters, I don\u2019t think that they\u2019re a majority of my so-called base, moderates —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I disagree with you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Independents?<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you look at the evangelicals as a sector, for example, you, if anyone, can correct their ignorance with regard to his faith, Romney\u2019s faith. That\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know something? I\u2019m glad you mentioned that. I want to address this with you from the top. I can\u2019t do that. I don\u2019t talk religion. I don\u2019t argue people\u2019s faith on this program. I don\u2019t tell anybody that their religion is nuts or that what they think about somebody else\u2019s religion is nuts. I don\u2019t go there. I\u2019m not a theologian. I also know this. Really committed people of faith — can\u2019t change \u2019em, you can\u2019t talk \u2019em out of it. It\u2019s silly to try; it\u2019s insulting to try to talk them out of their faith-based beliefs. I\u2019m not going to be the one to do that. A candidate has a responsibility here, Jim. The candidate has a responsibility to go out and be heard and get support. If the candidate has that religion problem, then the candidate has to do something about it. I cannot believe, here I\u2019ve done a brilliant open of the program, and I find myself in hot water. <\/p>\n

You would think that I got a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater right here spewing hot water on me. They are a great sponsor. They only heat water on demand instead of storing it in a metal tank in your home. It doesn\u2019t constantly heat and reheat until you need it. Those tanks are a huge waste of energy and water, and the Rinnai, if you\u2019re interested in really saving money, a tankless water heater is something you ought to look at, especially if you\u2019re going to remodel or if you\u2019re one of the precious few that plan on building a house the next six months, you really ought to look at this. You can find out specifically how much money your home can save. They\u2019ve got a website: ForeverHotWater.com<\/a>. Just go to ForeverHotWater.com and calculate it for yourself, if you were to install a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater. That\u2019s ForeverHotWater.com. You can actually calculate it. I feel like I\u2019ve got one sitting right next to me and it\u2019s only been one phone call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
