Things you don't hear about.

My Friend Brooke sent me this in a email and I thought it was cool. So I thought I would share it with you. I don't really get to crazy about political stuff, but Obama scares the sh** out of me. These are the kid of people that I want leading our country.
Bet Ya didn't hear about this on NBC, CBS or
ABC
It was the Rush Limbaugh show.

TRANSCRIPT

RUSH:
Kurt in Pittsburgh, hello, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB Network, and how about the
Steelers defense?

CALLER:
How about those Steelers, huh?

RUSH:
How about that?

CALLER:
Hey, listen, Rush, longtime listener, first-time caller, one
of those Bible, family, gun clingers from western Pennsylvania.

RUSH:
Thank you.

CALLER:
And I wanted to share a story with you. A week ago last
Saturday we went to the Palin-McCain rally in Washington,
Pennsylvania, was
the day after he announced her, and we have a five-year-old
daughter with Down syndrome, and we made a sign that said: 'We
Love Kids with Down Syndrome.' So when they pulled in in
their bus the sign did catch their, McCain and Palin and the
rest of their family, it caught their eye, we could tell, they
gave us a thumbs-up from the bus, so we were all excited just
by that --


RUSH:
Wait, wait, wait. Who gave you the thumbs up, McCain and
Palin?


CALLER:
McCain, Palin, Cindy McCain, we could see them from the bus.
We were in a position where we had eye contact with them
--

RUSH:
Oh, cool!

CALLER:
My wife was holding our daughter.

RUSH:
Very, very, very cool.

CALLER:
It was really cool, Rush. I was like, 'Wow, that's awesome,'
because I love Governor Palin and so I thought that's really
neat. So then we moved around as the bus was getting
ready to pull out, we kind of positioned ourselves so we could
just wave them on and a Secret Service agent came up to us and
said, 'Hey, can you come with us?' I was like, 'Do we
have a choice?'

RUSH:
(laughing) You shouldn't have worried. It's not the
Clinton administration.

CALLER:
Right. So we accompanied them up the hill, we went right to
the bus, where it was, and Governor Palin, Senator McCain,
Cindy, Todd Palin, they're all standing there. We're in this
inner circle with just us and them, and the Secret Service
agent, and they came right up to us and thanked us for coming
out, said they loved our sign, and Governor Palin immediately
said, 'May I hold your daughter?' and our daughter Chloe,
who's five, went right to her, and I have some pictures I'd
love to send you maybe when I'm done here, but Governor Palin
was hugging Chloe, and then her little daughter brought their
baby Trig who has Down syndrome from the bus, he was napping,
and Chloe went right over and kissed him on the cheek, and my
son Nolan who's nine, he thanked her.

RUSH:
This is amazing.

CALLER:
I will send you all the stuff, Senator McCain was talking to
my son, and we thanked him for his service, and he asked my
son if he wanted to see the bus, and we were hanging out and
it was very surreal. I felt like we could have had a pizza and
a beer with them, they were so warm.

RUSH:
You know what? I want to put you on hold. I want Snerdley to
give you our super-secret, known-only-to-three-people here,
e-mail address.

CALLER:
I will send you everything, Rush.

RUSH:
And then could you send us these pictures? Would you mind if
we put them on the website?

CALLER:
I would be honored, and my main thing is they are warm, kind,
genuine people, and they represent the best of this
country.

RUSH:
That's right. And when you send these pictures, make
sure you identify them. I mean, we'll know Palin and
McCain, of course. Identify
yourselves.

CALLER:
I will, I will identify everybody in the picture, Rush, and
God bless you for being a beacon of hope and truth in this
country.

RUSH:
Oh, no, no. It's nothing, it's nothing. You're
doing the Lord's work.

CALLER:
Well, we're very blessed and I want people to know what a
blessing it is to have a child with Down syndrome. These kids,
they're angels.

RUSH:
That's the thing. There's always good to be found in
everything that happens. It may be a while before it
reveals itself.

CALLER:
Absolutely.

RUSH:
Right, and when she hugged my daughter I said, here's the
difference, this candidate embraces life and all its limitless
possibilities.

RUSH:
All right.

CALLER:
That's what she is.

RUSH:
Terrific, okay, I gotta run here, but I'm going to put you on
hold.

CALLER:
Thank you, Rush.

RUSH:
Thank you, Kurt. I really appreciate
it.
