Conservative Principles Are Still Relevant and Popular

Tweet

This is an exchange between Rush Limbaugh and a caller about the NCNA event that took place over the weekend in Virginia.

CALLER: I was at this event on Saturday, and there were a few cringe-worthy moments in it but on balance I actually came away with a different feeling than what most of the media is spinning it as. What I heard from Bush and Cantor and Romney was more that the conservative principles that the Republican Party was founded on are still relevant and still popular today and really the big issue may be more who are we going to find as the new leader --

RUSH: Really?

CALLER: -- within the --

RUSH: Now, this is important. This is important. Because I took the weekend off. I did not watch any of this stuff. I only have my audio sound bites on what I've read about it. What I've read is the opposite of what you're saying. So this is very key. You were there. What I've read is that they did not espouse conservatism, that we need somebody else, different ideas and so forth. Just the exact opposite of what you said. Is the reporting on this that off base?

CALLER: I was shocked. I was shocked yesterday when I was looking at a lot of the reporting on it. The format of it was not such and it was more a rollout of the opening of what they're going to be doing that it wasn't real issues oriented, it didn't get real in-depth into the issues, but time and time again from Bush and Romney there seemed to be a return to the idea that conservatism is more popular today, and Jeb Bush has a clip in there where quite articulately he expressed it's just a matter of finding who our new leader is going to be to convey that message and get that message out in today's environment.

RUSH: If he said that, if he said -- I agree with that.

RUSH: We had 58 million people vote against Obama. If we'd have had that guy that you say Jeb Bush was talking about, we coulda beaten Obama.

CALLER: Right.

The point is don't believe the spin, or the negative stories that came out against this New Council. It is an inclusive group proudly promoting conservative solutions.
