"I'm telling you there are people who are losing close friends over this primary race.  It's volatile. It is causing friction between people who have a lot of affection for each other.  Even me, your host, is not immune to this."

"What do you think Santorum and Newt are gonna do?  Do you think they're just gonna lie down and let the establishment run an open convention and pretend these guys don't even exist?"

"There's a reason why you have campaigns.  Let it all play out.  Everything's gonna be fine, because at the end of the day this campaign, whoever runs it, is going to be aimed right at Barack Obama.  That's gonna be the animating feature for the vast majority of people that vote in this coming election."

"The same Republican establishment that's gotten the party in this mess is the same bunch of people who would run the open convention."

"The primaries were invented to take the power away from the party elites who used to pick the nominee at the convention."

"Obama believes that if folks work hard and become successful, they should be punished with higher taxes and the loss of all their deductions.  That's what happens to you in Barack Obama's America."

"Barack Hussein Obama, defining the American dream down."

"I, your host, El Rushbo, have ruined politics by spawning thousands of local talk show hosts who hold politicians' feet to the fire."

"The only limits in this country on anybody's advancement is their own limitation that they place on themselves."

"Obama's portrayal of this country is nowhere near accurate. Past, present, or future.  He hasn't the slightest idea. A guy dripping with resentment for this country is now in charge it."

"The Republican establishment attempted to win the nomination for Mitt Romney from the start by securing moderates."

"I think anybody on our side who gets the nomination can win, and I have not wavered from that, because this campaign is going to be about Barack Obama."

"If Romney is the nominee, he's gonna win or lose based on his own ability or inability as a candidate.  It's not gonna be due to anything else."

"Some of these brave conservative bloggers are already setting the table to be able to say, 'It wasn't my fault. It wasn't my fault,' if we lose."

"If Romney's back in his Bain Capital days and somebody comes in with a proposal to fix a company they just bought, 'maintain' is not gonna get you anywhere. The guy would probably be fired."

"What's the purpose of the fear?  The purpose of the created fear is to paralyze you and to get you to subliminally agree with the downsizing of your life, the downsizing of your expectations, the downsizing of your dreams."

"I don't care what kind of trouble I'm in. I've been doing this for 23 years.  They can't get me in any more trouble than they tried to put me in now."

"It's not the rule of thumb that people go bankrupt in this country because they get sick.  The liberals want you to think it is, and they want you to think it could happen to you tomorrow, and that's why you'll give up a little bit of your freedom and that's why you'll sacrifice a little bit of your liberty, and that's why you'll sit there and eagerly pay higher taxes to make sure you don't go bankrupt if you get sick."

"We do not have limited dreams of our size and scope here or on our achievement at the EIB Network."

"So the long, drawn-out campaign continues to draw out in a long, long way.  And it's proving to be fortuitous.  The people that are upset are the people that should be upset and the people that aren't upset are the people shouldn't be.  Everything's on schedule.  Everything is okay because the ultimate objective of all of this is to turn this energy against Obama, the Democrats, by November, and that is what will happen."

"The PBS special on Clinton, part one last night, part two tonight.  They're doing one on JFK, and they're basically making it clear that neither of these two guys coulda passed a security clearance in their own administration, what with all the babes coming back and forth."

"You go back to 2006, rising gas prices, and check all the quotes from Democrats accusing Bush of doing it on purpose, or accusing Bush's economic policies of causing it, or accusing Bush of not caring about it. Or, worse than that, Bush and Cheney personally profiting from it!"

"If I were the Republicans, I'd go back and I'd get that Obama quote where he really wasn't unhappy that the price of gas had hit four bucks. He was just unhappy how rapidly it happened."

"A high gasoline price is exactly what Obama wants. Obama wants pain. He wants interruptions to normalcy. Obama doesn't want you being able to cheaply move around the country, cheaply move around your town. Obama doesn't want that!"

"There aren't too many wise people with skin in the game that want to throw money into Europe right now. Look what happened to people who did! They were just told, 'You're eating it, pal. You are gonna soak up $142 billion in debt. You're just gonna give it away, and you are not allowed any profit on the rest of your holdings.' That's how it happened in Greece. It could happen here."

"This $170 billion bailout hinged on squeezing last-minute concessions out of private holders of Greek debt. This is the same way Obama bailed out GM and Chrysler."
