RUSH: I'd like to share with you what I think, my friends, are -- and it was tough to limit this to ten -- the Top Ten Republican Moderate Moments.

Number ten: Newt Gingrich does a PSA on global warming with Nancy Pelosi in 2008. Number nine moderate moment in GOP history: Bush-Quayle '92. The number eight moderate moment GOP history: Dole-Kemp '96. The number seven most moderate moment in Republican history: Ford-Dole '76. Do you see a pattern here? Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number six: Jumpin' Jim Jeffords jumps from the Republican Party. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number five: Arlen Specter switches parties. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history. Number four: Richard Nixon resigns in disgrace. Top ten moderate moments Republican history number three: Dede Scozzafava endorses the Democrat, Owens, in New York-23. Top ten moderate moments in Republican history number two: The McCain campaign of 2008.

And -- dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut! -- The number one top ten moderate moment in Republican history: Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama, the Democrat, for president in 2008! If you want to talk about moderates and you want to look at great moderate moments in Republican history -- and I'm sure you can add to this list, and we can come up with a thousand of these. But these are the top ten. And every one of them got us where? Every one of them took us where? Backwards! Every damned one of them. These are the people and these are the things that should define the Republican Party. You know, I hear David Plouffe and yesterday was Axelrod wringing their hands over losing moderates and independents and the Republican Party, it's just horrible! Oh, they're losing them.

There are several very strong Conservatives on the national scene now, we have to encourage them and they have to not be swayed by State Media pundit’s ankle biting.

I’d like to nominate the Gang of 14 (7 GOP - Chafee, Collins, DeWine, Graham, McCain, Snowe, and Warner) to be #11 on the list. (Spring, 2005)

2008 Republican candidate Debate

Question: Show of Hands if you think Global Climate Change is a serious threat and is it caused by man?

Freeze the frame just as the hands start going up. Its UGLY. Rudy, Mitt, McCain and I think Hunter were the first to raise their hands with a few more just starting to go up until Fred Thompson saved their buts when he said were not going to play the show of hands game.

I’d like to nominate George HW Bush. As LA burned in flames after the Rodney King police officer verdict, Bush went to LA to meet with “civil rights” leaders to get a better understanding of their issues.

Bush41-Clinton world tour.

I couldn’t believe it. I thought maybe it was a joke?

Remember this was shortly after Clinton was found guilty of being a certified sex offender. Yuck

That’s when I left the Pubs and canceled my RNC membership.
