RUSH: Just to reiterate, ladies and gentlemen: ‘It\u2019s going to get worse before it gets better.\u2019 I\u2019m not trying to be negative. I\u2019m trying to prepare you here for what is coming. It is obvious from the president\u2019s press conference that his view is: ‘The Democrats won the election yesterday, and that means they get some of what they want, if not a lot of what they want, if not all of what they want.\u2019 Specifically, here\u2019s what you can look for: You can look for there to be a minimum wage bill. The president was passionate about one<\/emphasize> thing in this press conference. He came alive when he was asked a question about: What does this mean for your immigration policy? ‘Yes, I think we have a better chance of getting immigration reform now with a Democrat-controlled Congress.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I told you this before the election. I told you, ‘The reason we don\u2019t have amnesty and a guest worker program is because of the Republicans in the House.\u2019 Now with Democrats running the place you\u2019re going to get it and the president\u2019s excited <\/emphasize>about it. We\u2019re going to get a guest worker program. We\u2019re going to get amnesty. It\u2019s going to be called ‘immigration reform,\u2019 and you\u2019re going to get a minimum wage increase. The president\u2019s going to talk to these people about entitlements — and when you sit down with Democrats to talk about entitlements, you\u2019re not talking about getting rid of them. You\u2019re talking about ‘reforming\u2019 them, maybe, or perhaps even new ones. <\/p>\n

Some of the exit poll data yesterday (it\u2019s still questionable whether or not you can believe it). By an 11% margin, voters who voted yesterday believe that Republicans are ‘the big government party now.\u2019 How can you blame them?<\/emphasize> How can you blame them with the Medicare entitlement and with all the education spending, the spending on everything, the lack of discipline on reducing the size and scope of government? During the break, I was channel surfing around, and Tim Russert made this point. He said that with Robert Gates coming in to replace Rumsfeld — and, by the way, I don\u2019t know what is going to happen here. My experience has always been that when you give the left a scalp, they just want more. So who will be their next target? Condoleezza Rice? Cheney? <\/p>\n

I can tell you that some of the fringe kook Democrats, it remains to be seen since they bombed out with their chosen candidate Ned Lament, just how much influence they\u2019re going to have over Democrats\u2019 governing, but they\u2019re going to make demands for Rumsfeld to be brought up with war crimes investigations in Congress. I think some Republicans are going to say, ‘It\u2019s a smart political move to get rid of Rumsfeld. Just get that distraction off the table. Do it now.<\/emphasize> Don\u2019t wait \u2019til the end of the year. Do it now and take that issue off the table for the Democrats.\u2019 The problem is my experience in the past is it doesn\u2019t take issues off the table, it just makes them hungrier. <\/p>\n

It just makes them say: ‘Okay, we got one scalp. We can go get another.\u2019<\/p>\n

You know they\u2019ve been calling for the resignation or the impeachment of all these people for a number of years: Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney, a whole bunch of \u2019em. I think the subpoenas are going to be flying. I don\u2019t know if Pelosi is going to try to control it or not. The president during the campaign said that he was convinced that if the Democrats won power, that the war on terror would suffer a setback. They\u2019re not that interested in victory. He totally took that back today. He said (paraphrased), ‘Well, people say things on campaigns. You know, the campaign\u2019s over and the Democrats won, and so it\u2019s over. What do you want?\u2019 It was the ‘What do you want?\u2019 press conference. ‘You want immigration reform? Ha-ha-ha! You got it. You want a minimum wage increase? Yoooooou <\/emphasize>got it! You want Rumsfeld? Yoooooou <\/emphasize>got him!\u2019<\/p>\n

Bush has seen this before, and this is how you get out of town in two years with an approval rating that is above the thirties and maybe into the fifties or the sixties. Stem cells are another thing. The whole point here is: “We\u2019re going to do everything we can to make everybody happy. We\u2019re going to do what we can to make everybody happy.” Russert said, after pointing out that the Bush 41 guys are not going to be running the war: Robert Gates as the new secretary of defense, and James Baker running this commission here, looking into what we do about Iraq. Russert\u2019s point was we\u2019re going to have hardheaded pragmatism now. The ideologues are out. No more ideology in the war on Iraq — and of course that\u2019s not new, ladies and gentlemen.<\/line>There hasn\u2019t been any ideology in the Republican Party, any conservatism, for at least two to maybe four years. You could argue Bush was more of an ideologue in the presidential campaign of \u201904, but in looking at what happened yesterday, it wasn\u2019t conservatism that lost. Conservatism won <\/emphasize>when it ran as a Democrat. It won in a number of places. Republicanism <\/emphasize>lost. RINO Republicans, country club blue-blood Republicans, this nonpartisan Republican identity, that\u2019s what went down in flames. I\u2019ve always believed that those of us who are conservative believe in the ideology. We believe it wins. We believe it\u2019s best for the country. We believe it\u2019s best for the people. We believe it\u2019s ultimately compassionate, and it has not been present. <\/line> Now, I mentioned to you at the conclusion of the previous hour that people have been asking me how I feel all night long. I got, “Boy, Rush, I wouldn\u2019t want to be you tomorrow! Boy, I wouldn\u2019t want to have to do your show! Oh-ho. I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m not you.” Well, folks, I love being me. (I can\u2019t be anybody else, so I\u2019m stuck with it.) The way I feel is this: I feel liberated, and I\u2019m going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don\u2019t think deserve having their water carried. Now, you might say, “Well, why have you been doing it?” Because the stakes are high. Even though the Republican Party let us down, to me they represent a far better future for my beliefs and therefore the country\u2019s than the Democrat Party and liberalism does. <\/line>I believe my side is worthy of victory, and I believe it\u2019s much easier to reform <\/emphasize>things that are going wrong on my side from a position of strength. Now I\u2019m liberated from having to constantly come in here every day and try to buck up a bunch of people who don\u2019t deserve it,<\/emphasize> to try to carry the water and make excuses for people who don\u2019t deserve it. I did not want to sit here and participate, willingly, in the victory of the libs, in the victory of the Democrat Party by sabotaging my own. But now with what has happened yesterday and today, it is an entirely liberating thing. If those in our party who are going to carry the day in the future — both in Congress and the administration — are going to choose a different path than what most of us believe, then that\u2019s liberating. I don\u2019t say this with any animosity about anybody, and I don\u2019t mean to make this too personal. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not trying to tell you that this is about me. I\u2019m just answering questions that I\u2019ve had from people about how I feel. There have been a bunch of things going on in Congress, some of this legislation coming out of there that I have just cringed at, and it has been difficult coming in here, trying to make the case for it when the people who are supposedly in favor of it can\u2019t even make the case themselves — and to have to come in here and try to do their jobs. I\u2019m a radio guy! I understand what this program has become in America and I understand the leadership position it has. I was doing what I thought best, but at this point, people who don\u2019t deserve to have their water carried, or have themselves explained as they would like to say things but somehow aren\u2019t able to, I\u2019m not under that kind of pressure. Am I making myself clear on this, Mr. Snerdley? (interruption)<\/line> No, I\u2019m not lying. Snerdley\u2019s concerned. I\u2019ve not lied about anything I\u2019ve said. Let me try this a different way. (sigh) I\u2019m going to have to think about this. I tried to make it as clear as I can. I\u2019m not going to eat my own, and I\u2019m not going to throw my own overboard, particularly in a campaign, and particularly <\/emphasize>when the country is at war — and I\u2019m not going to do it for selfish reasons, and I\u2019m not going to do it to stand out, and I\u2019m not going to do it to be different. I\u2019m not going to do it to draw attention from our enemies. I\u2019m not going to do anything I do so that the Drive-By Media will like me or think that, “Ooooh, Limbaugh has changed! Ooooh, Limbaugh is coming around!” That\u2019s not my thinking. My thinking is: the left doesn\u2019t deserve to win.<\/emphasize> My thinking is: the country is imperiled with liberal victory. <\/emphasize> We may not have the best people on our side, but they\u2019re better than what we have on the left. But it has been difficult sometimes, when these people on our side have not had the guts to stand up for themselves, have not had the guts to explain what they really believe and why they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re doing. When they haven\u2019t had the courage to be who they are, when they haven\u2019t had the courage to be conservatives. <\/line>It has been a challenge to come in here and look at some of the weaknesses and some of the missed opportunities and try to cover for them and make up for them and make sure that the opportunities are not totally lost. But at some point you have to say, “I\u2019m not them, and I can\u2019t assume the responsibility for their success. It isn\u2019t my job to make them succeed. It isn\u2019t my job to make elected Republicans look good if they can\u2019t do it themselves. It\u2019s not my job to make them <\/emphasize>understandable and understood if they can\u2019t do it themselves — not in perpetuity, not ad infinitum.” So all I can tell you is I feel a little liberated, and I think this is all going to result in a lot of cleansing in a number of areas.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT <\/line>RUSH: Snerdley said, “Well give me an example of what you\u2019re talking about.” Okay, let me give you an example. (I\u2019m not going to mention any names.) I\u2019ve been sticking my neck out to defend people who won\u2019t defend themselves and in the process of sticking my neck out, I get it cut off by other people who disavow what I\u2019m doing and saying — and yet if I didn\u2019t stick my neck out these people would have gotten swamped and defeated by far bigger margins than they did! I bring a lot of passion to my belief in conservatism, and my belief that liberalism is harmful to individuals <\/emphasize>in this country, that it leads them to lives of misery and unfulfilled potential. <\/line>Those beliefs drive me, and I believe that we are the good guys, and when the people on my side, the good guys, don\u2019t have the guts to defend themselves as strongly as I\u2019m willing to defend them, then you get to the point where, what\u2019s the point? I\u2019m not running in their races. I\u2019m not asking for votes. I\u2019m not on the ballots. I\u2019m not getting their votes. That is up to them. All I\u2019m saying is it\u2019s a little liberating now, once I see the direction we\u2019re headed and I look at the reaction to everybody in our movement after this loss. They can take it the way they want to take it, and I\u2019m not going to defend whatever way they go just because they\u2019re on my side if I don\u2019t believe in the method they\u2019re using or the direction they\u2019re taking. It\u2019s that simple. Now, back to the phones. Thomas in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, nice to have you, and I appreciate your patience. Welcome.<\/line>&lt;a target=new href=”http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/covers\/0,16641,19760517,00.html”> &lt;\/a>CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush. I\u2019m a big fan. I\u2019ve been a listener since just prior to Gulf War I. I think the tone and tenor of the president\u2019s news conference will illustrate a point I\u2019m about to make, which as a conservative I don\u2019t make with any kind of glee. I think this election kind of sounds the death knell for conservatism as a viable political ideology, and here\u2019s why I\u2019m saying that. With the Democrat victory, and most assuredly they will complete that in \u201908, and their propaganda machine firmly in place and feeling their oats, so that any of their excesses, bad policies, faults, failings, et cetera, will be spun properly — the Republicans will feel the need to go center to be competitive. When they do that, the center will go left, and ostensibly conservatives will lose any kind of voice in the public political arena.<\/line>RUSH: I can understand your pessimism to that degree, and it\u2019s entirely possible. I don\u2019t see it that way. I do see some troubling signs out there, however, along these lines. Let\u2019s start with the president\u2019s press conference. It\u2019s clear he believes the Democrats won the election; that means that they get what they want. In fact, CNN, some info babe on CNN, a few minutes ago said, “For the first time, for the first time, is Bush listening?” So it\u2019s working, from the White House standpoint. They\u2019re getting sympathy, and they\u2019re getting compassionate reporting and they want to turn the boat around. They want to go back to Crawford with their 68% approval number. This is a desire that all <\/emphasize>elected officials have. Even Reagan\u2019s people had the desire. I don\u2019t think Reagan was as much concerned with it as most presidents are. <\/line>In terms of the conservative movement, without elected conservatism at the top, without elected conservative leadership somewhere, we do run a risk of being diluted. What counters that is that is that the people of this country are basically conservative. I just cited an exit poll in which the voters who voted yesterday think by an 11% margin that the Republican Party is the party of big government. Now, you ask, “How can that happen?” Because, <\/emphasize>guess who\u2019s been running the show for six years with a brand-new entitlement, and all this brand-new spending? The Republican Party, and it has not been a conservative ideology that has run the Republican Party. It\u2019s been something absent <\/emphasize>conservative ideology. Now, where are these future conservative leaders? <\/line><\/p>\n

Obviously there\u2019s not a new Reagan out there. Now, there are people who are going to try to be. Mike Pence<\/a> is going to try to run the House on the Republican side. Reagan<\/a> is his idol. We\u2019ll see how that goes. John McCain is trying. From his appearances last night on television into today, McCain\u2019s trying to set himself up as Mr. Conservative. The guy who gave us campaign finance reform, the guy who opposes tax cuts is now going to start talking as though he <\/emphasize>is Mr. Conservative. (That\u2019s going to be a hard sell to real conservatives.) Then you have the conservative punditry. Now, to what extent they matter, that\u2019s arguable. <\/line> But the conservative punditry, depending on where it\u2019s located, is interested in being accepted in the overall punditry club by leftist pundits, Democrat pundits and so forth, and the way you do that is to break away from conservative ideologues to show that you\u2019re “open-minded” and larger-minded and not closed-minded. I think they\u2019re going to be fissures and cracks within the conservative movement. There are a lot of people are in this for themselves, folks. To a lot of people, it is about them, <\/emphasize>and their notification and their notice and the attention that they can garner for themselves, and the way you do that is stand out. The way you stand out as a conservative in Washington is to not be as much a conservative as everybody else is so you get approval from the left. <\/line>We\u2019ve been through this countless times, but I don\u2019t think conservatism is going to dwindle off into the twilight and be invisible at midnight and never return. This is what people were saying in 1976 when Reagan<\/a> lost to Ford, and Ford lost to Carter. Those were dark days, folks! But then along came Jimmy Carter. (Malaise Speech)<\/a> You can always count on the Democrats, at some point, to revive <\/emphasize>conservatism in this country by being who they are — and who they are is very liberal as we all know. The normal ebb and flow and cyclical nature of politics is obvious. It\u2019s just so damn frustrating to have made such <\/emphasize>progress in 1994 and it happened here again. Two years after \u201994, the conservatives made the mistake of thinking that the country had become conservative, and they stopped being ideological, and they stopped teaching. <\/emphasize>They stopped leading a movement and began what they began. It happened here again. The assumption that: “Okay, conservatism is in power now. The people know who we are. They like who we are. Stop teaching.” <\/line>You can never stop teaching.<\/line><\/p>\n
