Limbaugh: I've Never Heard Anybody Say "I'm Severely Conservative"
RUSH: I've... Look, I don't want to make anybody mad here. It's the end of a really hectic and busy week here -- and you know I'm not a complainer. You people have no idea of the distractions that each program has had this week that I've had to fight through and try to ignore because I don't complain. So don't get mad. I may be a little giddy here. I have never anybody say, "I'm severely conservative." Don't get mad. I'm not... (interruption) No, I've never heard anybody say it. (interruption) No, I'm not challenging his claim to be conservative, don't misunderstand. I don't want to get inundated here by Romney supporters. I'm not putting him down.
I'm just observing here. I've never heard it said, "Yeah, I'm a severe conservative." But I know what he's trying to say. Now, I should add something here. Remember last year during the early days of the campaign -- before the votes even began, before any of the primaries had taken place -- I successfully, correctly identified for you what the Republican establishment strategy was. They were running a primary campaign 180 degrees out of phase from normal. The way you normally run a primary campaign, either party, is (and this is conventional wisdom) to get the base of your party's votes, you pander to them. You speak to them. You just go, in this case Romney's, and you be conservative.
