RUSH: Jason in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, nice to have you with us on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I just wanted to say thanks for the education I get outside of my college classroom and also thank my dad real quickly, who actually gave me your Limbaugh Letter when I was 13 years old because he feared I was being indoctrinated.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Smart man. Smart, smart man. I\u2019m proud to know you.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: I just wanted to call and ask, you know, with this conservative Hoffman that we have, which I think is a great thing, assuming he wins, and you made a comment earlier about how possibly 12 other people are going to be running as conservatives, do you think that it\u2019s going to have a bandwagon effect where we\u2019re going to have RINOs disguised as conservatives simply because of the cornerstone that we have in the Republican Party?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, this is quite possible. This is a very, very informed and educated question by you. I can tell you you\u2019ve been reading the Limbaugh Letter and listening to this program. And, yes, there have been many fraudulent, fake conservatives. I mean I can name two right off the top of my head that I won\u2019t because it won\u2019t serve the purpose here, it would be unnecessarily provocative. But, yes, if the RINOs see that the way to victory in the Republican Party is to spout conservatism, they\u2019ll spout it and they\u2019ll try to make you think that they are. For example — Cookie, get together with Mike and get that RNC ad that we ran yesterday, it\u2019s a radio ad. By the way, I asked yesterday, ‘Why didn\u2019t they mention his name?\u2019 And the RNC sent H.R. a note saying they legally couldn\u2019t. Independent expenditure or independent something, they couldn\u2019t mention his name, which is why they had to harp on the fact that he\u2019s conservative. But the point is, I listened to that ad and I haven\u2019t heard any official Republican National Committee member say anything like that for eight years. <\/p>\n

Here it is. Now, listen to this. I\u2019m glad they\u2019re running the ad, it\u2019s just a radio ad, but it proves that somewhere in the building they get it. But it goes to his great question. Will they bring it out of the hat and use it when they have to? Yeah. But do they mean it? If RINOs see that the only way to get elected as a Republican is to go conservative, they run that campaign, there\u2019s a bunch of them in the House of Representatives. It happened. They ran as Republican conservatives, they got up there and for whatever reason forgot who they were or never were who they told us they were. There was a mixture of both. And the interesting thing about this is that most of the RINOs, we\u2019ll be able to find out if they\u2019re fake, we\u2019ll be able to find out if they\u2019re RINOs. They\u2019ll have a record. The people that are going to be popping up initially, depending on how this all goes tomorrow, they\u2019re going to be genuine conservatives. This is going to provide some momentum. Listen to this ad. It\u2019s for Hoffman, but they can\u2019t mention his name, and I want you to ask yourself, when is the last time any member of the RNC or a powerful Republican anywhere, elected or otherwise, said these things?<\/p>\n

ANNOUNCER: The eyes of the nation are on the north country. What we decide on Tuesday will echo from Albany to Washington. Whose side are you on? The Pelosi-Paterson tax-and-spend train wreck or do you believe in Republican, conservative values, like thrift, personal responsibility, and family? Let\u2019s tell the liberals enough is enough. No more bailouts, taxes, and budget-busting spending. It\u2019s time to create jobs with proven conservative ideas like lower taxes. Let your voice be heard. Join the movement to bring real conservative change. Tell the politicians, ‘No more. We won\u2019t let you bankrupt America.\u2019 We need conservative leaders who stand up for our values, fight back, vote conservative. It matters like never before.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, had we had a candidate running last year that actually believed that stuff and could articulate it, it would not have been a contest. Barack Obama would not be anywhere near the White House. He would be resuming his five-minute career in the Senate. So it\u2019s in the building. I mean somebody had to write this. Maybe it\u2019s a recycle from the Morning in America days. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not jumping on the RNC here. When I heard this ad yesterday, ‘Whoa, where did this come from?\u2019 I mean, this wasn\u2019t just a ‘let\u2019s get close to sounding conservative.\u2019 This was hammering the left, ‘bankrupting the country.\u2019 It\u2019s exactly what has happened. Liberals, that word used throughout this. You wouldn\u2019t hear McCain talk about liberals. You wouldn\u2019t hear him be critical of these guys at all. (imitating McCain) ‘Need to work with the other side of the aisle. I\u2019m the guy that can cross the aisle, I can cross the aisle, I\u2019m the one guy that can work with the other guys. Get it?\u2019 As though that\u2019s what the American people wanted. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got a note from somebody listening to every syllable of this program today. ‘Dear Rush: Listening to you today it sounds like the smart people think that the best thing that could happen for the good of the Republican Party is if it never won an election again. Only by never winning can the party attract enough people to keep on never winning.\u2019 Now, that\u2019s an interesting observation, because we played David Plouffe, we played Gloria Borger, we have had Axelrod yesterday and a couple other sound bites. ‘Republicans are destroying themselves! I mean, they\u2019re losing all these moderates and losing all these independents,\u2019 and so these smart people think the best thing that could happen for the good of the party is if it never won an election again by holding onto those people, which is exactly what they want! <\/p>\n

They want the Republican Party to keep losing. Now, this big-tent thing. The current leaders who cannot be named of the Republican Party have built such a big tent on the advice of the Democrats, that nobody\u2019s in it. Let me explain this, \u2019cause this is another profundity, ladies and gentlemen. We\u2019ve had all these people, all these years say, ‘You know, you Republicans, you\u2019re too rock-ribbed conservative. You got too many pro-lifers. You got too many religious right people in there and the angry talk show people. You got a gotta spread out!\u2019 The Democrats, the liberals, the media, tell the Republicans, ‘You gotta have a bigger tent. You gotta attract independents in that party and you gotta have moderates in that party. You can\u2019t continue to grow, you can\u2019t continue to exist if all you are is conservatives.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Of course, the Republicans who want to get along with those people say, ‘Yeah, yeah, it\u2019s a good point.\u2019 So big tent. And we went out there, we did everything we could to attract all those people. Right? We nominated all the right people. General Powell even out there showing us how to do it by endorsing a Democrat. So we\u2019ve got this giant big tent out there, built on the advice of Democrats in the media but nobody\u2019s in it. General Powell left the tent. Christopher Buckley left the tent. Chuck Hagel left the tent. McCain essentially left the tent. McCain\u2019s out there saying he wants to rebuild the Republican Party in a moderate image. Lindsey Grahamnesty left the tent. I mean, when you line up with John Kerry or whoever he lined up with on cap and trade, you don\u2019t call yourself a Republican. <\/p>\n

Arlen Specter left the tent. In some ways George W. Bush left the tent. Peggy Noonan left the tent. Newt Gingrich left the tent. Joe Lieberman! He was in the tent but he left. By the way, Dingy Harry\u2019s out there saying (doing Reid impression), ‘Ah, don\u2019t worry about Joe. At the end of the day Joe will be there voting for me.\u2019 Told you. So Christopher Buckley leaves, Colin Powell leaves, Chuck Hagel leaves, McCain leaves, Lindsey Grahamnesty leaves, Arlen Specter leaves, George W. Bush walked out a couple times, Noonan left, Newt left, Lieberman walked out of the tent, and a lot of real conservatives walked out of the tent, too, and said, ‘To hell with it!\u2019 So we got this giant big tent. Well, what the hell good is it if nobody\u2019s inside? There\u2019s no one inside the tent. Nature abhors a vacuum, and conservatives and independents are filling that vacuum today. So these smartest people in the room on our side, they built that tent just like the Democrats in the media told them and there\u2019s nobody in it now.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I got an e-mail during the break here. And Snerdley even said, ‘You know, you need to go through this big tent thing again, because nobody, nobody looks at things that way. Nobody analyzes things that way, and you ran through that pretty quickly.\u2019 Here it is, basically. I\u2019m tired of all this talk — and we hear it all day today from select members of the State-Controlled Media on TV — about the Republican big tent. ‘What happened to the big tent?\u2019 they say. Now that we nominated a conservative and the conservative may win in New York-23, the media and the Democrats are wringing their hands, ‘Oh, no! What happened to the big tent?\u2019 as though they want us to be a big thriving party! <\/p>\n

‘What happened to the big tent? (crying) For crying out loud, we\u2019re so sad the Republicans are losing moderates and independents.\u2019 Yet they say Republican registration, identification in polls in at an all-time low. If Republicans win today, if that\u2019s true then we gotta be attracting somebody besides Republicans, do we not? This big-tent business here folks, the big-tent concept was not created by us. The big-tent concept, again, was created by Washington establishment elites on the left. Now, you also have in Washington establishment elites that are Republican, and the common denominator there is ‘elites,\u2019 and they are the smartest dumb people in the country. They have an arrogance and a conceit about them, whether they\u2019re liberals or conservatives and Republicans. They have an arrogance and a conceit about them that is insufferable, and it blinds them to reality. <\/p>\n

But the Republican elites desperately want to be respected and liked and allowed into the Elite Club (capital E, capital C) by the liberal Democrat elites, both in the media, politics, and academia. So they do this by accepting every premise that the liberal elites put forward. And that is, ‘You\u2019re never going to win with all those pro-life hicks down in the South in your party! I mean, for crying out loud, it\u2019s bad enough you gotta show up at your convention with these hayseeds arriving with gun racks in the back of the pickup truck and then you gotta put up with the Pat Robertsons and the Jerry Falwells and the all-God crowd? Why you guys you\u2019re never going to win, your wives are never gonna stop nagging you unless you fix this abortion issue.\u2019 <\/p>\n

And the Republican elites stroke their chins, and say, ‘Hmm, I think they may have a point. Yes, we certainly don\u2019t have much in common at all with (sniffs) these unsophisticated hicks and rubes that live down there. (sniffs) They really do have a point.\u2019 And then the liberal elites say, ‘You know, you guys are going to have to expand your party. You\u2019re too narrow. You\u2019re just all conservatives, and those people, you know, they\u2019re Neanderthals. You\u2019re going to have to go out there and get people like us in your party. You\u2019re going to have to go out and get intelligent moderates. You know, people that are not rock-ribbed ideological.\u2019 <\/p>\n

And the Republican elites go ‘(sniffs) That sounds exceedingly wise and intelligent. (sniffs) Yes, and especially since this is what the people we wish to be accepted by think, too. We want to get along. W want to be considered part of the Elite Club, and if that\u2019s what they think, we\u2019ll think it, too.\u2019 So, bammo! You get the recipe that Democrats tell these gullible elite Republicans (laughing), ‘Here\u2019s what you need to do to start winning elections,\u2019 (laughing) and the stupid elite Republicans say, ‘Oh, yeah!\u2019 and they buy into it hook, line, and sinker when in fact it\u2019s a recipe for eternal Democrat victory and eternal Republican defeat. So the big-tent concept was born, and the big tent concept was articulated in such a way that we want to attract people from across the aisle.<\/p>\n

‘And we\u2019re willing to walk across the aisle to deal with these people and meet them halfway, to show them that we don\u2019t blame them, to show them that we\u2019re good people, show them that we\u2019re worthy of being loved and liked by the liberal elites who run Washington and who run New York.\u2019 So the big tent concept is born, and this attracts the very people (supposedly) that we are supposed to get in order to win. And then these people, they are Republicans, happy in their big-tent party — and I would contend to you that the tent is empty. There\u2019s nobody in the tent right now, and there\u2019s a vacuum being filled by conservatives and independents who are filling the vacuum with the candidacy of Doug Hoffman and New York-23, Creigh Deeds and the McDonnell race in Virginia and of course what\u2019s going on in New Jersey. Let me give you some names. <\/p>\n

We were supposed to build the big tent to attract the very people who have left it. Colin Powell has left the big tent. Christopher Buckley left the big tent — and they didn\u2019t just leave, they endorsed Obama. And on their way out of the tent, they lobbed some hand grenades at the people still in the tent for forcing them out. Chuck Hagel left the big Republican tent. McCain left the big Republican tent. Lindsey Grahamnesty, he left. I mean, he calls himself a Republican, but he\u2019s making deals with Democrats. He\u2019s doing exactly what we\u2019re supposed to do to win elections, right? Arlen Specter. Arlen Specter left the big tent. George W. Bush left the big tent on a couple of occasions. Peggy Noonan left the big tent. I mean, the very people that the big tent was designed to accommodate and attract! The big tent has nobody in it. <\/p>\n

Newt left the big tent. Joe Lieberman left the big tent. And a lot of conservatives left the big tent, too, because there was a big tent, but it was just a tent. There was no foundation, there were no principles, there was nothing identifying about this other than it had a bunch of disparate people in there who were more concerned about being liked and being thought of as smart rather than being guided by any principles. So there\u2019s no one inside the tent. What good is a tent if no one\u2019s in it? This tent was built on the advice of Democrats, and the Democrats achieved exactly what they wanted: Nobody in it! Republican Party identification is at an all-time low. Conservative identification is at a high: 40%; 20% liberal identification; 36% independent. So as you know there\u2019s a vacuum in there, welcome back, and vacuums get filled up, and the people filling the vacuum are conservatives and independents. <\/p>\n

And this party is now undergoing the first stages of being rebuilt from within. And these people who have left the tent, they\u2019re going to want back in at some point when the party gets rebuilt, and they\u2019re going to do the same thing that they did that caused them to leave it. They\u2019re going to start running in and say, ‘Well, this party is okay, but it\u2019s too strong conservative,\u2019 and the whole cycle will repeat. I don\u2019t know why it is that we should build a party on people who are gonna leave the tent, and not just leave the tent but they\u2019re going to go join the other tent. The Big Tent State is New York. Now, how are they doing? New York\u2019s a big tent. We got every kind of Republican you can imagine in New York, from Dede Scozzafava to Rabbi Nate Segal. How is that Republican Party working out? How is the big tent working out for New York? What\u2019s happening in New York? What\u2019s getting all the fire and brimstone going in New York? Why, a conservative candidate! So that, ladies and gentlemen, is what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, folks, speaking of big tents, let\u2019s count all the conservatives in the Democrat Party, shall we? And let\u2019s count all the conservatives in the Democrat National Committee, and let\u2019s count all the conservatives in the Obama administration. Let\u2019s count all the conservatives in the Big Media. Let\u2019s count all the conservatives in Hollywood. Let\u2019s count all the conservatives in academia. You want to talk about big tents? Let\u2019s talk about all of the pro-lifers in the Democrat Party. What happens to them? You know, this big tent stuff, throw it right back in their faces. Tell them they need the big tent. They\u2019re the exclusionary ones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
