RUSH: David in Forest Park, Georgia, welcome. You\u2019re back with us, Open Line Friday continues. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. Georgia conservative, life itself on loan from God, mega dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I heard something in the Republican debate the other night that actually brought a tear to my eye.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: In response to Ron Paul\u2019s rant about how the Republicans would lose votes if we didn\u2019t get out of Iraq immediately, Mike Huckabee said something along the lines of, ‘Even if we lose elections, we should not lose our honor, and that is more important than the Republican Party.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that brought a tear to your eye?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. I think it\u2019s about time that we have a politician who put more emphasis on wanting to do the right thing and telling people honestly what they intend to do, that they believe is the right thing from the conservative perspective, than saying anything to get elected.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no question about it. That\u2019s the age-old lament about politics, and that\u2019s why the people you\u2019re talking about who have done that, been able to pull it off in an authentic way because they are authentic, have genuinely won elections in large landslides. Ronald Reagan comes to mind. FDR had that ability. Nixon came off as authentic when he ran in 1968. I\u2019ll never forget, because that was his comeback tour, and I\u2019ll never forget some of the town meetings that he was doing. He came off as really, really authentic. And that\u2019s interesting. You know, Huckabee is — well, when these things all started, everybody said, ‘Rush, who you for?\u2019 I said, ‘It\u2019s too soon, you never know, anybody could spring out of this thing a surprise.\u2019 Now, Huckabee hasn\u2019t moved in the top tier yet, but I think he\u2019s attracting a lot of attention that nobody expected to go his way, and we\u2019ll see where he goes from here. But I\u2019ve had a lot of people respond positively about Huckabee in the last two debates. So it\u2019s interesting that you called and made that observation. I appreciate it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
