Fred Barnes, Mort Kondracke of Roll Call, and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, they say here that Mitt Romney is the only hope for conservatives and that the only hope for Romney is me. Listen to this.<\/p>\n<p>BARNES: Look, he annunciates all their issues. They just don\u2019t think he got there soon enough, some conservatives, but that\u2019s their only hope, is Romney.<\/p>\n<p>KONDRACKE: It\u2019ll have to be organized by Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>KRAUTHAMMER: And it will fail.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That was Krauthammer complaining. So Barnes says, yeah, well, Romney annunciates all their issues, but Romney\u2019s their only hope, and Kondracke said it will have to be organized by Rush Limbaugh. Krauthammer says it will fail. He didn\u2019t say I will fail. I know Charles. We interviewed him for the Limbaugh Letter, and he thinks the effort will fail. But, look, all this talk about I\u2019m going to have to do this? Where is the candidates\u2019 responsibility in any of this? Now, let\u2019s go a little montage here. We opened the program yesterday with my political announcement that I was not conceding. I was going to stay in this for the long haul, the fight would continue. Some of the Drive-Bys didn\u2019t get it! You know, I\u2019m bouncing off of them saying I\u2019m finished, Limbaugh\u2019s over, he was defeated by McCain. So I did my little announcement yesterday that I\u2019m not defeated, I\u2019m not conceding, and they did a serious analysis, some of them did. Here\u2019s a montage where we got Chris Matthews, Ron Claiborne of ABC, who just gets it totally wrong, although not in this bite, Neil Cavuto, Bill Whitaker, CBS, and even Sean Hannity.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: Take a look Rush Limbaugh today hitting McCain.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: Senator McCain\u2019s been able to cobble together enough votes to win in a few states, fine, he deserves credit for that, but to pretend that Senator McCain is the choice of conservatives when exit poll data from every primary state show just the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>CLAIBORNE: Attacks from the likes of radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment.<\/p>\n<p>CAVUTO: Rush Limbaugh is today vowing to continue attacking John McCain\u2019s record, despite his Florida win.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: He is not the choice of conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>WHITAKER: McCain is routinely savaged by Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>HANNITY: Rush Limbaugh on the issue of Senator McCain.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: I will not retire. I will not concede. I will not drift away. I will not fade away until every American agrees with me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this is an example of what I\u2019m talking about. Criticism from the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Attacks on Rush Limbaugh. Vowing to continue attacking John McCain\u2019s record. Pointing it out is not attacking. This is what I mean, it\u2019s like the Clintons, tell the truth about them, it\u2019s a personal attack and they stick the opposite research on you. Anyway let\u2019s move on. This is last night on PMSNBC, DNCTV\u2019s Tucker Carlson show, Chatsworth Osborne, Jr., talking to senior McCain advisor Mark McKinnon about me. Now, McKinnon ran all of George W. Bush\u2019s media in 2000 and 2004.<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Wouldn\u2019t it just be easier to fly down to Palm Beach and take Rush Limbaugh out to dinner and slobber all over him? Why not suck up to Rush Limbaugh? I mean, wouldn\u2019t that just kind of fix some of your problems right away? Why don\u2019t you do that?<\/p>\n<p>MCKINNON: I think Senator McCain is going to communicate as he has with others in the Republican Party, extend an olive branch, communicate on the issues that are important to him, that I think are important to Rush Limbaugh and everybody else in the Republican Party, and I think the rift will be healed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, he\u2019s gotta go out to everybody in the Republican Party? Not everybody. He\u2019s got the Jurassic Park base, these old blue-blood country club dinosaurs and velociraptors. What do you mean, when am I going to get healed? What would happen if there was an outreach, if McCain came down to slobber all over me, to suck up to me? I don\u2019t know what he could do. I\u2019m not going to foreclose it, don\u2019t misunderstand, just thinking out loud. Kudlow and Company on CNBC last night, Kudlow and the pollster Scott Rasmussen had this exchange about your host, me.<\/p>\n<p>KUDLOW: Does McCain have to literally go to see Rush Limbaugh and sit with him? Is there any way out of this? Otherwise, they\u2019re going to be pounding McCain on a daily basis right through Super Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>RASMUSSEN: The best thing for John McCain right now is to be attacked by people like Rush Limbaugh, because it helps his general election prospects. And that\u2019s what he has to be concerned about now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, how would it help his general election prospects to continue to be attacked by me? Exactly right, Snerdley. The libs would love it. I told you I was with these entertainment libs last night here at this HBO screening, Susan Sarandon movie, they all love McCain. I think one of the reasons they love McCain is that a lot of conservatives, they hate conservatives, they hate Bush, and McCain doesn\u2019t like Bush so much or has made it plain that he disagrees with Bush a lot. So this is what Scott Rasmussen means. Because clearly the so-called attacks, which are not attacks, just criticism of McCain\u2019s record, it\u2019s not sending conservatives to vote for McCain. My so-called base is not rushing to vote for McCain. It\u2019s the independents and the moderates out there that are doing that. One more, Kelly O\u2019Donnell about a conversation she had with McCain about me.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019DONNELL: I asked him about Rush Limbaugh. He did not use Rush\u2019s name, but said the party has to unite and people have to come to terms with that to have any hope in November. He acknowledged that Democrats have higher favorability on issues, those were his words.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, and that\u2019s who he\u2019s trying to please. I don\u2019t think he cares about uniting the Republican Party, folks, he doesn\u2019t need it. He doesn\u2019t need the Republican Party to win. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I was watching the endorsement of Senator McCain by Governor Schwarzenegger in California. What a picture this was. You had Schwarzenegger up there at the microphone; he was doing his endorsing. You had Rudy on the left of the screen. You had McCain on the right side of the screen smiling and nodding, and Schwarzenegger was endorsing McCain, and he starts out talking about solar panels. Apparently, they\u2019re at a plant, a factory that makes solar panels. Then Schwarzenegger started talking about how we gotta reduce CO2 levels to 1990 levels. Ain\u2019t possible! Number one: It\u2019s not possible because we all exhale, and there are more of us. But beyond that, it isn\u2019t possible. People that have signed on to the Kyoto accords have tried it, and they\u2019re in arrears. They can\u2019t do it. They owe big fines to the UN, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That formed the basis of the endorsement of Senator McCain by Governor Schwarzenegger &#8212; and I\u2019m looking at the picture, and I\u2019m seeing McCain surrounding himself with the left wing of our party. These guys are Republicans, but they\u2019re the left wing of our party. So he just got the endorsement of a big-taxing, big-spending, socialist health care, eco-extreme governor, who says the Republican Party needs to follow him to the left. Now, we\u2019ve had all these sound bites today about how McCain needs to reach out to conservatives. All these pundits say that he has a prayer, he\u2019s gotta reach out to conservatives &#8212; and he\u2019s embracing here, or been embraced by Schwarzenegger, who has done a Kennedy-Shriver 180 and has gone full-fledged left out in California. So McCain got the Schwarzenegger-Shriver-Kennedy endorsement today from the governor of California. Sam Donaldson weighed in on this on Good Morning America today. They were talking about this Schwarzenegger endorsement, and Diane Sawyer said to Donaldson, &#8216;Arnold Schwarzenegger going to weigh in for McCain. Big impact out there, Sam?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>DONALDSON: Some impact on the margins, but remember, McCain needs conservatives in Republican ranks to believe that okay, he\u2019s conservative enough, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (laughs) is not the guy. You should have Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s right. Add Donaldson to the list of pundits out there who are saying McCain, if he needs to go all the way, is going to have to build a bridge to conservatives, and he didn\u2019t do that with his endorsement of Schwarzenegger. But, look, he thinks this is going to help him in the California election on Super-Duper Tuesday. Lets stick with the audio sound bites. The Today show today, Matt Lauer talking to Chris Matthews. Matt Lauer said, Schwarzenegger is not going to do anything for the conservatives that still doubt this guy because of his stance on taxes and immigration.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: He\u2019s still got three problems: The regulars that work in the fields for the Republican Party, the radio people, and the right &#8212; the Rush Limbaugh crowd, they don\u2019t like this guy &#8212; and that movement conservative crowd are not going to like him. The question is, &#8216;Will they get in line?\u2019 The old line is that Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. Republicans are now in the process of falling in line. They\u2019re not going to like it, but it looks like they\u2019re going to accept McCain as their guy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s Chris Matthews on the Today Show today with Matt Lauer. Now the Drive-Bys next weigh in. This is last night on ABC\u2019s World News Tonight, an exchange between the reporter Ron Claiborne and former Bush strategerist Matthew Dowd talking about McCain\u2019s win in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>CLAIBORNE: Even as the odds-on favorite to be the GOP nominee, McCain still faces stiff opposition.<\/p>\n<p>DOWD: He basically is not going to answer to anybody, um, especially the conservative pundits or the conservigentsia, and I don\u2019t like that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve seen this. Matthew Dowd has said this a bunch of times. Basically what he\u2019s saying is that people like me &#8212; Hannity, Levin, others on our side &#8212; we\u2019ve got our noses out of joint because McCain won\u2019t respond to us, or McCain won\u2019t answer to us. Somebody like that that\u2019s given an opportunity to do commentary on TV has got to get a little bit more informed. This is a guy that worked for Bush and Cheney, and look at what a lack of understanding even he has about the way his own party and base work. This is not personal. Anybody who thinks that this is about ego is just insane and is missing what really is going on, and is missing the whole purpose of this program. You know, we on this program are devoted to ideology and principle and ideas. We\u2019re devoted to the concept of a more informed, engaged, educated public participating in the political process. But then they\u2019re free to do what they do. Nobody gives marching orders here. Look, I can\u2019t speak for others there. There may be people out there that got ego problems who want to have these guys, politicians, respond to them so they get attention. I don\u2019t know anybody that\u2019s that way, but there may be, but it ain\u2019t here, and I know that\u2019s not Hannity\u2019s problem. Hannity doesn\u2019t say what he says just to make sure these guys snap to and pay attention. That\u2019s not what we\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n<p>Tom, how are you in there? Broadway actor who helped me when the Will Rogers Follies, yeah&#8211; Wiley Post, that was fun backstage after that one, wasn\u2019t it, Tom? Remember that outside the stage door? I was accosted by many of the crew? No, it wasn\u2019t women. (laughing) Ask Tom. He\u2019ll tell you. I don\u2019t want to get into it here behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Just a bunch of guys came up to me and said, &#8216;You\u2019ve caused us a lot of pain,\u2019 and then a couple women did come in and shooed them. &#8216;Oh, you guys shut up. Come on.\u2019 They were just people that had been watching the play. I have not lost my place here. But the idea that I\u2019m doing what I\u2019m doing to get my ego satisfied because these guys respond to me, is absurd. I don\u2019t even have that as an objective. I don\u2019t have that objective &#8212; and somebody like Matthew Dowd, who\u2019s been working for Bush-Cheney, should know this. The objective here of this program and many on talk radio is simply to service the audience, to build the audience, to hold it. Attract as large as crowd as you can; hold onto it for as long as you can so as to charge confiscatory advertising rates to business. You couple that with honesty, principled expression of ideas &#8212; and the whole concept of keeping people informed, educated, engaged, and have that number of people grow and have them participate in the political process. <\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s the people who make the country work, not these guys. These guys are our obstacles. I don\u2019t care who they are. We have to get past these guys when they want to raise taxes, when they want to put up regulations on our business, when they want to talk about the Fairness Doctrine on talk radio. We have to work past these guys. To say that we\u2019re trying to curry ego favor is absurd. But, you know, it may be that that\u2019s what the McCain camp thinks (McCain impression). &#8216;Yeah, and I\u2019m not going to respond that way. It\u2019s not going to happen, Limbaugh! You and me act like I care about you? You\u2019re the peon, Limbaugh! I\u2019m the big guy.\u2019 If that\u2019s what they\u2019re thinking in the campaign&#8230; They may be. Who knows? (sigh)<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, H.R. made a good point here during the break, trusty aide-de-camp chief of staff. Said, &#8216;You know, these idiots like Matthew Dowd,\u2019 who, by the way, just so you &#8212; Matthew Dowd split with the president about a year, year-and-a-half ago and came out in the New York Times with that vicious piece, how Bush is not the man I once thought he was, is not the man that I knew, and is all wrong in the war in Iraq and so forth. He\u2019s become a big moderate lib Republican. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. He\u2019s the guy that says the only thing wrong with Limbaugh is that McCain\u2019s not answering to me. Folks, I have to tell you, H.R. made a good point. He said, &#8216;People ought to see your face when I tell you congressman A or senator B is on the phone. You grimace, you roll your eyes.\u2019 I do. He comes in here, or I get an e-mail, such-and-such congressman B wants to&amp;hellip; oh, no. That\u2019s the last thing that I want to do, especially when they want to get on the program. We all tell \u2019em no. So it\u2019s cockeyed. <\/p>\n<p>People have been waiting on the phones. Up next on the sound bites, in fact, let\u2019s get sound bite number 11, and this will wrap up the media tour of me last night. This is Hardball with Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough is on, and Matthews says, &#8216;Rush Limbaugh today hitting McCain, said he\u2019s not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment. And that distinction is key. Why is that key, Joe?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>SCARBOROUGH: Well, it\u2019s key because the Republican establishment supported Gerald Ford in 1976. The Republican establishment supported Bob Dole in 1996. The Republican establishment can support whoever they want to support, but unless you have the conservative movement behind the candidate, that candidate always loses.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Amen. Amen. Scarborough knows it, backs it up with facts. This is why these pundits are saying McCain\u2019s going to eventually have to move right. If he has to move right, where is he in the first place? But he\u2019s still continuing to move left. Go back in the sound bite roster, number five. This kind of flew by. You might have missed this because it\u2019s pretty short, 16 seconds. Kelly O\u2019Donnell on Hardball last night telling Matthews about a conversation she had with Senator McCain about me.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019DONNELL: I asked him about Rush Limbaugh. He did not use Rush\u2019s name, but said the party has to unite and people have to come to terms with that to have any hope in November. He said he acknowledged that Democrats have higher favorability on issues. Those were his words.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Democrats have higher favorability ratings on issues. Now, you might say, what does that mean? Well, to me it means that Senator McCain is interested in pleasing people who give Democrats higher approval or favorability ratings on issues. After all, it\u2019s about getting elected, and with Senator McCain we know it\u2019s not about being conservative or appealing to conservatives, despite the fact these people say that he\u2019s going to. If you go out and if you want to get elected and you see the Democrats get higher favorability ratings on certain issues, and if you\u2019re John McCain, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s pretty tempting for you to adopt positions similar to Democrats so that the favorability Democrats have will also extend to you, Senator McCain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s start with the Fox News Channel\u2019s Special Report, Brit Hume, during the roundtable with the Fox all-stars.
