There Will Be No Rush Endorsement

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: St. Louis. This is Greg. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. God bless you, buddy. Been listening to you for a long time, and, like you, I'm an expert at what I do. I've got a painting company, funny story, I have the ability to listen to you at different job sites, particularly residential job sites, and it's a hoot when I'm at a liberal's house painting with Rush Limbaugh on. It drives 'em crazy.

RUSH: I can imagine that. I've heard such stories, guys on ladders with the radio on where the owner can't get to it. The wife, in particular, just goes batty.

CALLER: Yep.

RUSH: Husbands, too. They can't do anything about it other than fire the painter, which they don't want to do.

CALLER: Right. Yeah. It's hysterical. It's really amusing. It's funny. I can almost tell neighborhood by neighborhood, you know, what kind of clientele I have and whether or not I'm gonna drive 'em crazy.

RUSH: How can you do that? How can you tell by neighborhood what kind of clientele you're gonna have?

CALLER: Yeah, well...

RUSH: Okay, you don't want answer, I caught you. The host caught you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, expert painter knows when he's going to a liberal neighborhood or a conservative neighborhood.

CALLER: You can tell.

RUSH: You can tell. Yep. Whether you got a car on concrete blocks in the front yard or not, I know.

CALLER: Yeah, right, right, especially election time when all the signs get put in the front yard, it's even more of a hoot.

RUSH: Yep.

CALLER: But, hey, the reason why I'm calling, you know, you're the guy that I listen to the most, and you're the guy that I get all my information from. I get why you couldn't endorse someone, but, boy, it sure would be helpful for me and your listeners for you, at the end of the day, say, "Here's the guy," because you're the expert, man. You know who's full of it, and you know who's legitimate, and it would be awesome if you would just, you know, come out and say, this is --
RUSH: Ah, see, wait a minute. You say you understand why I don't endorse. In fact, you said you understand why I can't endorse. And then you very sneakily and slyly try get me to endorse. If I tell you who I'm voting for, that's an endorsement. You're trying to tell me I can do that without actually endorsing anybody. Snerdley, I'm gonna tell you something. 'Cause Snerdley's behind this, folks. If I don't shut this down every call is gonna be somebody demanding or trying to pressure me. Snerdley is sitting in there thinking that I can change the outcome of elections if I would just say so. He really believes that.

You and I both know that's absurd, but he believes it. I'm just telling you, you could give me two more hours of this, I'm not gonna tell you. It isn't going to happen, because when this is all over, I am not gonna be in a position where my credibility is such that I can't support whoever the nominee is. 'Cause I am not voting Obama. I'm not supporting Obama. So whoever wins this, I can't sit here and pigeonhole myself in such a way that I don't have credibility supporting whoever the eventual nominee is, because Obama is the end result. I'll tell you right now, I'm not voting Obama. I'm the expert. And that's really all you need to know.

Governor Romney is the most hard left, passionately pro-abortion, and homosexual agenda promoter that we have ever seen in our primary.

No question;re 'our' Primary; and then their is Paul; unrecognizable as a Republican - given, what should be a 'pro-Israel/anti-Hamas/pro-Military' profile; rather than their total opposites.

I am NOT supporting Romney; nor am I defending him; and said as much last post or before whereby I make clear; who it is I do support.

If you could move off your fixation of Romney as Enemy NO. 1; in our Country; you might better be able to 'get' what I have heretofore written. I HAVE offered that Mormon's in my book; are not ranked as a higher threat; than Islamists; or Marxist/Alyskites/Maoists who ARE damning and threatening our country; our culture; our body politic. And they have a history to prove it. As can the others, prove 'their' history.

All to say - again - I am not AFRAID of the Mormon next door. OTOH; we have many enemies; no question; we must prioritize; the worst; go to the front of the line; where we are compelled to deal with them.

There are 'trees' and there are forests out there; and you appear unable or unwilling; to distinguish the difference; much less; the importance of doing so.

Again; from my religious perspective can see a great deal to fault re Mormonism (and gullible Christians; have only themselves to blame is they are so swayed); but my 'warring' on behalf of America is not a 'religious one' per se. It IS against those elements; which now have Christianity in their 'sites';Christians/Protestants/Catholics/Jews. . .and who are now a 'focused' enemy including those 'religious' and have so stated that WE ARE the enemy. That; and all; which goes hand in hand' with a host of other 'anti-America' agendas. It is now or never; per doing some 'saving'. . .and I am not getting sidetracked per the threats of Mormomism.

Romney is the number one threat to us at this moment, and you are defending him.

We are at the beginning of the Republican primary, and I am having an argument with someone defending Bishop Romney and his Mormon cult both.

Fighting to defeat Bishop Romney, is not being “sidetracked”, it is the main focus of the conservative movement right now.

And no question; he jumps, 'left of center'; but still; Mitt cannot possibly match the 'anti-Christ' profile of Obama-the-Wicked Destroyer; who has 'singular' distinctions that separate him from our Leftist 'lessors'.

Romney accomplished things Obama can only dream of -- he signed gay marriage into law, was able to get $50 abortions in his healthcare legislation and raised taxes far more extensively than Obama has been able to.

The biggest difference between Obama and Romney is that Republicans in Congress will stop Obama's policies while many would rally around any liberal policies Romney pushes.

Obama has been outrageous in his violations of our Constitution; and the Repubs are doing 'what'? Obama continues to violate; transgress; insult; and grow his criminal enterprise; run from Oval Office. Build a greater 'czardom' while at it; create 'Labor' as second tier of our Government; and 'who' has stopped him?

And then there is the matter of our having a totally corrupt Department for "Justice" - thanks to Obama's friend in crime - Eric Holder. How is 'Fast and Furious' working out per Justice; and Acorn/now under new name; and about those Panthers with baseball bats at polls; excused. (They will be back; doncha think, in 2012; and more than likely; with more of them?)

Whatever happened to the Col. Hassan; Fort Hood Massacre perp? The emptying of Gitmo; (back home, terrorists!) Meantime; 'welcome Hamas to America'. Welcome to the new Obama, 'landscape' i.e. lawless and corrupt.

Obama has had to contain himself; this term. Please KNOW; that if he gets next four year; he will neither need; nor 'use' Congress - at all - to implement the most evil of agendas, against America. And his Supreme Court nominees; will have 'patriots' heads spinning.

Better Romney; and then build a more substantial Conservative Congress.

All bets of OFF; for Obama; doing anything, by previously held expectations of Governance; much less, hold himself to our Constitution; or 'Rule of Law'. All done; in 'our face'; and irrespective of Congress.

So know; his being contained by Congress; will not happen; He will not let it. Obama has shown himself; but he will fearlessly and fully reveal what he is about; if he steals, four more years. Or worse; if we give them to him.

All to say; no comparison between the downside of Mitt leadership versus Obama but all perhaps; futile speculation; as believe Mitt is moot per 2012. Am furious by the tactics of RNC et al per his candidacy - literally being shoved down our throats; or their trying. I do support Newt; for authentic Leadership. But all may be irrelevant. But enough of that 'downside'.

The issue here was 'tween' MItt and Obama and the lessor of two evils. To that; think there can be no doubt.

It’s been suggested that Mitt is now reaping megadollars from Mormons that see him as some kind of prophesied white knight riding to the aid of a US government in constitutional trouble, which the Obama NBC hubbub arguably constitutes. Megadollars which he did not have when he ran as a hopeful for George W. Bush’s successor. And megadollars which he is using to buy truckloads of pure manure to shower upon Newt Gingrich from coast to coast without any thought to scruple, veracity, or morality.

Rush ought to be on top of this, if it’s true.

Have heard same but without any validation; so like you; don't know. But would hardly be surprised if Mormon community (albeit not Church specifically - though it sounds more ominous) was not supporting him - in large measure. Imagine; most are Republican anyway; though; given Mitt's Liberal MO; that may not be true - or matter. Daresay Beck is supporting Mitt; as are 'Donnie and Marie'. . .no doubt; many more out there. . .

As for negative ads; can only say; 'yes'; negative ads work; and so the rationale goes; 'OK/they work'. No one seems to care; if the 'negative' is true - or not.

Despise, dishonest ads - they are NOT OK in my book; particularly the lowest of the low; that find parity only in the worst of what is otherwise seen, as practice, from the Left; being 'approved' by any Republican. Here; MItt shows he is despicable and desperate. And w/o good conscience; IMHO. He marks himself per his repping the 'worst' of the Left.

That is called Mission: Impossible. The party in the White House tends to lose seats in Congress. Just think about how many were lost after the second term of Bush. We'll lose a similar number after Romney pushes through liberal policies that Republicans will get the blame for.

Better a growing conservative majority in Congress and gridlock than having all that happen.

There used to be an adage that there wasn’t any such thing as “bad” publicity — I guess Florida put the lie to that one.

Essentially, what I am saying - save - and I hope it is not Romney; but better him; that Obama; because it will not matter; if we have a Conservative House/SEnate; because Obama will rule - literally - by Fiat. Better gridllock; than Obama 'Rule'.

As 'Progressive as he is; he would follow. . .legitimately; House and Senate rules and Exexutive branch; i.e. our Constitution while deferring to Rule of Law.

Obama; has already told America; screw that; screw our Constitution; screw our Rule of Law; and you do not have to just read lips to get his message!

Mitt; despite his 'Liberal credentials/inclinations; IS a Patriot. We can never say that about Obama. . .and be right. We can never say, Obama is NOT a Marxist/Alyskyite ET AL; and be right either. We can say; Obama's plans for change in America ARE 'Marxist-Machiavillian' at it's worst.

Hope you have noticed; that we ARE in the hands of a rising dictator.

You seem evasive on this, did you come to support Mitt Romney against McCain and Hucakabee?

You seem like you're on drugs.

Indeed. However; what was working for MItt; was not just using 'bad' against Newt; but fraudulent. . .by context.

Not only is 'God in the details of life' but as well; the 'Devil is in the details' as well. Just depends whose working 'which' side; and to what purpose.

Seems conclusive.

There won't be gridlock if Romney is office. He'll set the agenda and have plenty of RINOs and Democrats to give him what he wants. And, what he wants isn't conservative.

Republicans only show any guts in stopping liberalism if a Democrat is in the White House.

Mitt Romney is not a patriot, the Romney’s have never been patriots, the reason Mitt’s father was born in Mexico was their anti-Americanism, George then ran for President as the anti-war candidate, while his son lived in France avoiding the draft, not a one of Mitt’s military aged sons moved to military service while there father was running to be a wartime commander in Chief in 2008.

The evidence is that the Romney family is dedicated to never serving the United States in uniform.

They moved here in 1841 so that they could serve Joseph Smith.

In that 171 years, nothing, not patriotism nor drafts could ever nab one.

Evasive is doing everything you can to avoid simply telling us, and then pretending that going back years into your posting history, that someone the answer lies.

I think that rather than buy into that nonsense, we can assume what the answer is, and save ourselves devoting ourselves to searching your posting history of years past.

You never at any time supported Romney, over anyone else in the 2008 primary?

Bishop Mitt has transferred 10s of millions of dollars to the cult.

The Romney’s have always been wealthy and powerful, since 10% tithing is mandatory, (Bishop Mitt could require you to show him your tax returns), the millions transferred to the cult must be vast over the 172 year span of them being Mormon.

We are probably safe in assuming that in times of a chance to advance Mormonism, especially for the man who is the possible fulfillment of the “White Horse Prophecy” that the flow of money can be easily reversed.
