I first heard you in the barbershop when I was there with one of my kids, and that was before you said that you endorsed Clinton. RUSH: So that's a little bit before 1992. CALLER: Yeah. Anyway, I'm 54 years old. I got married in '74, got my bachelor in science in nursing in '75, and I worked...

RUSH: As you know, ladies and gentlemen, the past couple of days here on the Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB Network, we have been discussing the era of Reagan theoretically being over, and conservatism thus being over, and, if you have listened, of course, you know my position on how absurd that is. And yet, there continues to be discussion among so-called conservatives about modernizing the Republican Party. Latest example, David Brooks, who used to work with Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard...

RUSH: We have David on the phone from Columbia, South Carolina. Great that you waited, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you doing?RUSH: Just fine, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Hey, I had a question. I'm a black Republican. I'm not too conservative, but fairly conservative. My wife, very liberal, and she is a big Obama supporter, and we get into this big conversation all the time, and I wanted to get your opinion on something. I wanted to ask you if you think that the media's infatuation...

RUSH: Let's listen a little bit to Romney's acceptance speech.ROMNEY: Tonight is a victory for optimism over Washington-style pessimism. (applause) What we're going to see in the next few days is Democrats say that they're the party of change. (grumbling) You're going to hear Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, saying that they're the party of change, and I think they would bring change to America, just not the kind we want. You see, I think they take their inspiration from the Europe...

I kind of find it to be like non-conservative, really, for a couple of the Republicans, you know, are -- are running about Michigan's one state recession and what they're going to do to fix it, too, but to me that goes right against conservative principles as far as, you know, small...

RUSH: Well, there was a Democrat debate last night. It was out in Las Vegas. It was on PMSNBC, and it was bad. It was rotten. Mrs. Clinton was back to looking like Nurse Ratched. All of these people looked as bored as they can be. It was a 90-minute debate. It felt like 90 years, and it was amazing to watch. These Democrats sat there and explained in great detail -- either with their stimulus package or what they're going to do to save the subprime market -- how they were going to ruin the United...

RUSH: Last night in the Democrat debate -- and I haven't had a chance to read in detail the audio sound bite roster, we might have some sound bites of the debate last night -- but I've gotta tell you, folks, it was so boring, and it dragged on so long. It was funereal. It just was. The lighting was horrible, it was so bad, it was good. One of the things they kept talking about, they got into arguments about the stimulus package, gotta stimulate the economy. "Hell, yes, Limbaugh, we're going...

RUSH: Boy, the Drive-Bys are beside themselves with the results of the Michigan primary last night. They cannot get it through their heads, they're just skunked that Republicans actually voted against McCain. They cannot believe it, and so now it's time to trash Republicans. I don't care what anybody wants to say, Mitt Romney is now the front-runner. That may not last because this is a very, very fluid situation. But here you have McCain, who lost, and nobody's out saying, "Why, he's gotta...
