Great to have you here. Hello.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Fine. Thanks very much. How are you?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019m doing very well. Just a little nervous. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Thanks very much.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I wanted to comment on the Senate Republicans and your comments yesterday. I\u2019m glad to hear Mitch McConnell saying that they are going to stand up against this and not just go along about it &#8212; the health care legislation, that is. But the thought that some of the Senate Republicans are seemingly going to go along with the liberal notion of needing government involvement in health care infuriates me. I saw Senator Gregg on TV last night talking about all the amendments Republicans are going to introduce to improve this bill. I don\u2019t think anything can improve this bill. And I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s where their efforts should be. And to preface my next comment, I have to say I\u2019m unabashedly pro-life and cannot believe what Barbara Boxer said. But &#8212;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Well, the way that she said it. They are up there adding amendments. There\u2019s no question they\u2019re adding amendments to it. McConnell\u2019s office did call here and say that they are opposing this, so I don\u2019t know if adding amendments is a strategery to bollix it up and slow it down. But I &#8212;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yeah.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: &#8212; I disagree. They just need to say no, there\u2019s nothing wrong with saying no to this!<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I agree.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: That is the only thing to say about this!<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I agree. And my question to you would be this pro-life amendment that they\u2019re considering today &#8212; if this passes, if that\u2019s the only hope of passing the health care legislation. Because I\u2019d rather this amendment go down if that means that the bill goes down. I don\u2019t want the same thing that happened in the House to happen in the Senate. If that pro-life amendment hadn\u2019t been in there, the congressmen would not have voted for that bill, and we wouldn\u2019t be in the state where we are now.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: See, that\u2019s very shrewd of you. The Stupak amendment actually guaranteed passage in the House.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It did, and as a pro-life woman who\u2019s had three children &#8212; I just &#8212; I don\u2019t think if I was in that House that I would have been able to vote for that amendment knowing what Nancy Pelosi intended that amendment for.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, see, you\u2019re going to get me in trouble with these people again. I already got in trouble once because I raked them over the coals for being single-issue people.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t want to get you in trouble, certainly, and as I said, I\u2019m unabashedly pro-life. I think any woman who\u2019s had a child who has seen an ultrasound at 12 weeks, I don\u2019t see how they couldn\u2019t be pro-life. But &#8212;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, look. You and I are so the same page on that, but you not believing that &#8212; and I share that sentiment with you &#8212; but I have the same shock and dismay that people do not look at what Obama\u2019s doing. I mean, essentially, we\u2019re aborting the private sector, we\u2019re looking at a living, breathing country on our own sonogram here, and we\u2019re looking at Obama wanting to abort it. It\u2019s the same thing to me, and I &#8212; you get flustered like we had Jeff call: &#8216;I can\u2019t believe that only 47% disapprove of the guy, ought to be higher than that.\u2019 It will be. Hang in there. Be tough. Question is, is it going to matter? These guys don\u2019t care. Obama is narcissistic, wants to be loved, but, believe me: he sounds himself with enough people that are sycophants that he thinks in his universe he\u2019s loved by everybody. And he goes out and makes these speeches, and I\u2019m sure they tell him, you know, what he wants to hear about it and so forth. Look, I\u2019m glad you called out there, Jennifer.
