Mike, welcome, I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Wonderful. First of all, real quick point, I\u2019d like to apologize to you, sir. I have been a lifelong Democrat all my life, and this election was very important to me &#8212; and under the old axiom, keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer, I decided to listen to you and a couple other hosts. You are very&#8230; I like you. And, quite frankly, it comes to find out you\u2019re not my enemy. We may disagree on certain social issues, but you give me the facts and I check \u2019em out and you are absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. That\u2019s very big of you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Kudos to you, and I never thought I\u2019d say that. I have listened to sound bites of you, sir, and come to find out they were all taken out of context, and that\u2019s not fair.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, but it\u2019s the way the game\u2019s played. The left can\u2019t defeat you in the arena of ideas &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I understand.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; they try to discredit people and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I understand. It works both ways, on both sides, but since you are, you know, a figure, it seems that they come after you more. And it wasn\u2019t fair. So I do like to apologize, but that isn\u2019t the reason why I called. It\u2019s one of the reasons. The reason why I called is because of the poll yesterday that seems to be that I\u2019m a white Democrat &#8212; a lifelong Democrat, a very old Democrat &#8212; who is married to a black woman from Mississippi who is extremely liberal, and neither one of us are going to vote for Obama.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I know what you mean. I\u2019ve got a time problem here and I can\u2019t move the break. I don\u2019t mean to be rude, but that was a poll AP, ripping white Democrats as one-third of them racist \u2019cause they won\u2019t vote Obama. The Philadelphia Daily News has done it today. I\u2019ve got it in the Stack. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Mike in Maysville, Kentucky. Mike, welcome, I\u2019m glad you waited.
