RUSH: Bill in North Brunswick, New Jersey<\/a>, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you. You are up first today.<\/line> CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. I have to say that I think the response of some of the big-name conservatives, Kristol, Podhoretz, Krauthammer and even you to an extent has been reflexively negative on this nomination. I\u2019ve been a conservative for over 40 years, and I was inclined to at least give the president the benefit of the doubt through the first couple of days, perhaps through the hearings. You know, I think the behavior of conservatives in this matter makes them look more like a special interest group than like a popular, patriotic movement. It was reflexive, it was automatic, without even knowing anything about this woman, and conservatives care about the individual. You know, we don\u2019t make our judgments based on broad painted pictures. We look at the individual. This woman didn\u2019t get that chance.<\/line>RUSH: Well, look there\u2019s a lot you said there. The only thing I want to object to is that my reaction was reflexive. I don\u2019t know about anybody else\u2019s, but mine was not reflexive. I was not just having a reflex here that was based on knee-jerk reactions. Now, I can\u2019t speak for the others. I don\u2019t talk to them and I don\u2019t consult with them. See, I think for every person you mention — I have my own theory for all these people. (interruption) What, Mr. Snerdley? What? What? (interruption) Well, look, the point of this… I don\u2019t want to go through all this again. I\u2019m blue in the face explaining my opposition. You have either not understood me when I\u2019ve said it, Bill, or you\u2019ve not listened and heard me say it. That\u2019s not the point now. I registered it. I don\u2019t have an agenda. I\u2019m not trying to get the woman withdrawn. I\u2019m not trying to affect the outcome of this. I\u2019m just telling you what you think about it, and it was disappointing for a whole host of reasons. The opportunity missed; the fact that it has emboldened the Democrats because it looks like it came from a position of weakness. But, you know, the idea that the conservatives inside the Beltway are some sort of special interest group, you know, you haven\u2019t mentioned anybody other than me that has direct contact with the voting base of this party. So I can\u2019t speculate. Well, I could speculate on other people\u2019s reasons for opposing, and I think in many cases they\u2019re personal. See, I think, if you want me to stir this pot even further, let me stir the pot further. <\/line><\/p>\n

I think that there are a tremendous number of conservatives who think they do carry a lot of weight in this administration. I think they think that whatever they write, whatever they speak, whatever they say, I think that they think that they influence the administration. What this decision said to them was, “You don\u2019t matter to us,” and they\u2019re taking it personally in other words. Some of these people are simply taking this personally because it\u2019s a rejection of their thoughts, their intellect, their advice, or what have you. Well, that\u2019s not me. I don\u2019t take these things personally because I don\u2019t live under any illusion the White House does anything I want them to do. I have no illusions. You people are my audience, not the White House. So I\u2019m honest with you about what I think, but I\u2019m not being reflexive about this or anything else, nor am I joining forces. I am certainly not an elitist or any of that. But, look, I don\u2019t want to start repeating all this. As I say, go to my website. You can find out what I\u2019ve said about this. It\u2019s crystal clear. I\u2019ve taken three or four days to explain this. I\u2019ve dealt with the “just trust me” issue that the president asks. I\u2019ve dealt with everything — the conservative, the individual, and so forth. I\u2019ve dealt with all that, but I want to move on because this nomination and the fight has spawned something, folks, that I\u2019m trying to clue you in, those of you that haven\u2019t sensed it yet, what it has triggered — and what it has triggered is a big push-back in the conservative movement. <\/line>Let me stir the pot a little further. For five years we\u2019ve had a great president when it comes to the war, when it comes to tax cuts, when it comes to a number of things. But there are a lot of things that as you know we\u2019ve been scratching our heads about; nothing on immigration, campaign finance reform, letting Ted Kennedy write the education bill. All of the federal spending, doing whatever we can after the hurricane to send the message, “We\u2019ll do whatever it takes,” meaning spend whatever it takes to keep you happy. Now, during all of this, there are some — and, by the way, let me remind you that during all this I have fielded phone calls from many of you who have been complaining royally. You know who you are. You know you haven\u2019t liked it. But there are two things that have kept all of us steadfastly unified behind George W. Bush, the war on terror and the fact that we cannot let the left in this country gain control of national security. That\u2019s number one, and that\u2019s paramount. Number two: the left in general, outside of national security, they\u2019re still kooky, and they\u2019re mean-spirited, and they are extreme, and they are attempting to mischaracterize us and an attack on the president is an attack on us. An attack on Bill Bennett is an attack on all of us. An attack on DeLay is an attack on all of us, and we\u2019re not going to sit here and put up with it. We\u2019re not going to eat our own in the process. Well, we\u2019re now reaching the midpoint. We\u2019ve got about a year to go to reach the midpoint, 2006 elections, and people run for office in elections, and there are a lot of conservative Republicans who want to run for election and reelection, and they\u2019re going to have a tough time running on the last five years of immigration, the last five years of education spending, the last five years of total federal spending. <\/line>They can\u2019t run out there and defend campaign finance reform, and so the agenda or the list of achievements that come from this administration when compared to what conservatives would have liked are not things that are defensible. This Harriet Miers thing has just brought it all to a head, folks. The Harriet Miers nomination has just brought it all to a head, and so there\u2019s a kick-back or a push-back taking place now among conservatives who have for five years been back and steadfast and strong in defending the president because of the two things I cited. But the president\u2019s not running for reelection again. He can\u2019t, and I\u2019m going to tell you what: If you think it\u2019s bad now, wait \u2019til you see all the Republicans who purposely start distancing themselves from him. You\u2019re going to see Republicans who will not want George Bush coming in to campaign for them in their local districts because they\u2019re going to be talking a pedal-to-the-metal conservative agenda, and it\u2019s going to be tough to sell that with nothing on immigration reform and campaign finance reform. You know all these issues. I\u2019m not saying the loyalty is gone; I\u2019m saying life goes on, and if you couple this with the fact that the left, throughout all of this, all they needed was a couple of nails hammered in the coffin, a couple of nails and we could bury the coffin. I mean, they\u2019re still going to be around as vampires, come out at night. We\u2019re never going to get rid of all of them. <\/line>I\u2019ve got a piece in the stack today by George Lakoff who has been dumped, by the way, by the Democrats, but he\u2019s got a piece talking again how accurately the conservatives frame arguments in a post-disaster era like Katrina and how badly the Democrats do it. I can\u2019t wait to share this with you because he gets us exactly right, even though he thinks we\u2019re lying. He gets the Democrats exactly right even though he thinks they ought to be doing more. What he doesn\u2019t understand is they can\u2019t do more. You\u2019ll understand it when I get to it. Meaning by more, since all they\u2019re doing is attacking Bush, they need to get to their deeper core values and explain, like the Republicans do after a disaster, why conservatism is better than statism and rebuilding the city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana and Mississippi. Democrats are only saying “Bush wasn\u2019t there, Bush didn\u2019t care, Bush blew up the levees. ” Lakoff says, “They\u2019ve got to get more to their core.” Well, they can\u2019t! Nobody will vote for them if they do that. They\u2019re back to the same old trouble. That\u2019s what\u2019s the frustrating thing to me. These people are weak, they\u2019re disorganized, they have no unity, they\u2019re nothing but hate-filled extremists and activists, and there\u2019s no reason to be defensive or afraid of these people. No reason to go out and accommodate them at all. They wouldn\u2019t do it for us, and they haven\u2019t done it for us. <\/line>“Rush, you sound like you\u2019re not in favor of national unity.”<\/line>Yes, I am. I\u2019m in favor of 80% of the country agreeing with me. That\u2019s unity. You\u2019re never going to have a hundred percent. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: One more thing on this business that my reaction to Harriet Miers was “reflexive.” I had a caller a moment ago, the last caller that made this point, Bill in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Now, Bill, I love you being out there. I love you being in the audience, but fact of the matter is — and if you\u2019re a regular listener to this program, you know we talk about the court in great detail on this program and have for decades, for years. We\u2019ve been — conservatives have been — thinking deeply about the Supreme Court for 30, 40 years. This is one of the reasons it has been so important to get the Senate as the Republican majority and elect a conservative president, folks, because of what the court has become. You\u2019ve heard me just go on and on and on about this, and since Harriet Miers\u2019 nomination, nothing about the information we\u2019ve received has changed. There hasn\u2019t been anything new. If you ask me, the reflexive reaction is to take “trust me” as the last word. That\u2019s being reflexive. (interruption) Who said that? The caller? Well, yeah, he wants to hear her first. The caller wants to hear her first and decide for himself, but… Well, you\u2019re causing me here to go back, and I don\u2019t want to repeat because it\u2019s all on the website. There\u2019s a reason it\u2019s there, so I don\u2019t want to have to repeat this stuff day after day after day because I\u2019ve done it for four straight days. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
