Rush Limbaugh Rejects Notion of Moral Majority
November 05, 2004
Why does Rush Limbaugh desperately want America to reject exit poll data? Because the data suggests President Bush's largest base of support shared Senator Rick Santorum's view that gays are a bigger threat to America than job security, economic security and the war in Iraq.
"So when this whole business comes up, don't accept the premise, just tell 'em the premise is being concocted by people who are trying to diminish the real meaning of the president's victory here. If you want to cite a stat you can go ahead and say, hey, gay marriage was defeated in all these 11 states with a 60-40 margin, 58-42 margin. Bush was 51-48. Doesn't add up. Then say he didn't lose any gay votes this time and the election of 2000, if you want to do that. But don't accept the premise. That's one of the greatest ways of defeating the left in an argument, just don't accept their premises, it just puts you on defensive. If you accept a phony premise, you're trying to defend something phony. It's crazy. Don't waste time with it."

Does this mean America will now be relieved of Limbaugh and other conservatives selling notions derived from exit polls that Republicans gained votes among black and women? Don't count on it. Limbaugh's dope-fueled hypocrisy will selectively cling to these exit polls for the next four years.
