RUSH: Here is Ron in Cincinnati. Ron, I’m glad you waited. Great to have you on the program, sir.
CALLER: Thank you, Rush! A pleasure speaking with you again. Hey, the reason I’m calling today: We spent a lot of time listening to what’s going on with Herman Cain, and it’s really unfortunate that Politico gets to lead the news cycle of what we ought to be talking about. I would really like it if you could direct your attention over the next couple of days to what’s going on in the Senate. There’s a couple of presidential candidates that have talked about it a little bit. It’s gonna take 13 seats to repeal Obamacare, and the only Senate candidate that I’ve even heard of that’s running this cycle is this Elizabeth Warren chick out of Massachusetts; and if we don’t start talking about how we’re gonna get the 13, we’re gonna get stuck with this monstrosity, Rush.
RUSH: Well, I’m sorry to let you down.
CALLER: Well, no, you’re not letting me down and here’s our chance. I mean, rather than to follow Politico, let’s take a day and let’s look race by race, state by state. I mean, I got Sherrod Brown in Ohio. What an idiot! We gotta get rid of this guy. Who’s running against him? Who are we trying to cultivate to run against him? Where are the conservatives, the 13 conservatives gonna come from that are gonna get us to repeal? And, Rush, it’s your platform that’s gonna start that.
RUSH: No, it’s yours. It’s yours.
CALLER: Well, don’t follow Politico, please. I would much rather you spend our time talking about how we’re gonna take back the Senate.
RUSH: You know what? I’ll tell you, there’s a way that you can solve this, and it’s listening to something else, if you don’t like it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Somebody just asked me in an e-mail, “Do you get tired of people should-ing you all the time?” Meaning, “Rush, you should do that and you should do that.” Nah. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it doesn’t. I understand the singular hope people have in me to save the country, and I’m up to it — and we’ll save the Senate. We’ll do everything we can at the appropriate time.
