BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Lisa in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's great to have you with us on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Hey, Rush. It's a pleasure to speak with you.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I'm a "new-time" listener, the reason being I was a Democrat, voted for Obama in the primary; and last month had Michele Bachmann at my house for a fundraiser breakfast. That's the track that I have taken in the last three years, and I could tell you how and why. (giggles)
RUSH: I would love to hear it. I've got about two minutes here, but how do you go from being an Obama voter to Michele Bachmann in your house?
CALLER: My husband's always been a listener of yours. I haven't. I fought him tooth and nail. I was stubborn. I was a teacher in New York, I was a member of a union --
RUSH: Ah.
CALLER: -- and I just believed what you said earlier, that the Democrats were the people that had the empathy, not the Republicans.
RUSH: Right. They cared, had compassion.
CALLER: The best thing that happened was Obama getting into office, because it changed me and made me look at the party for what it was -- and through this all I have seen that instead, they are the ones that are not caring about the people. They are the ones that are making us enslaved to government. So what I'm trying to do is instead of whining and crying about it, I'm trying to get out there and help. I'm working for the lieutenant governor that's running for North Carolina, Dan Forest -- "Run, Forrest, Run!" -- and I'm working with him.
RUSH: (laughs)
CALLER: I've had Michele to the house, and I said, "We are gonna change things around;" and the caller that you had earlier, I think that those type of people are like myself. See, I feel sorry for them, because I had the blinders on 'til I started listening to your show. I started really seeing what is happening out there. We have to treat them with kind of a respect just to say, "I know, I understand where you're coming from, but let me show you the light," and I saw the light.
RUSH: I'll tell you, this is a heck of a conversion.
CALLER: (laughs)
RUSH: You are a teacher, you're a member of a union, you vote Obama.
CALLER: Yes. (laughing)
RUSH: You believe that the Republicans have no compassion and that the Democrats own it all, and now look at you! What a great call to end with here.
CALLER: Yes. So there's hope. (giggles)
RUSH: There is. There is hope. There's a lot of hope.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: That's what we do: We liberate one mind at a time here.
CALLER: Yes, we do. Thank you, Rush.
RUSH: No, thank you, Lisa. I appreciate it. That is just great. That's real hope and change. That is real hope and change. Now, I'm fully willing to acknowledge my role in this, as she said, but there has to be something else that was going on at same time, because this is a fast conversion. You just don't go from loving Obama and a union member to hosting Michele Bachmann in your house! We'll take it. We'll take it. Maybe I do have that kind of power. Sure I do.
