In a sign that conservatives aren’t going quietly into a John McCain nomination, radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday that McCain’s rise was only made possible by a “fractured†party base.
“He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment — and that distinction is key,†Limbaugh said. “The Republican establishment, which has long sought to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media. But both are just far-fetched and wrong.â€
Hmmm. Isn’t Mitt Romney the choice of the GOP establishment?
Meanwhile, conservative rumbler Michelle Malkin says she wouldn’t vote for McCain even over Hillary Clinton. Whew.
You wonder if Limbaugh and Malkin speak for conservative voters, many of whom have been willing to vote for McCain in his primary wins. But clearly, McCain still has big challenges ahead in uniting the party before November.

Wow Rush is looking old.
Maybe he is sick or something and will die soon.
He’ll for sure melt into a pool of radioactive goo when McCain is the nominee with Huckabee as his running mate.
Moneycons? Rides over.
Back to the political wilderness with you! Probably for the rest of our lives!
PRICELESS!!!!!!!
And by the way - this reinforces Krugman’s comments triggering the Obama ‘make nice?’ thread.
Go take some more narcotics Rush - you’re gonna need tham!
JR and Ben I am surprised that the left is even taking notice of the Rush comment. Many months ago the conservatives said McCain would never unite the GOP. His stance on the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill, his stance on the McCain/Finegold campaign finance bill that silenced the mainstream voters, his stand on new taxes, I could go and on but surely you get the picture. He is a RINO. We have recognized this long ago. I wouldn’t vote for Hillary over him but I would Obama as I have stated.
Obama and I are world apart on most issues but he is honest - something McCain doesn’t know about. The debate last night showed him for the buffoon he is.
Doesn’t Rush need controversy to fuel his talk show? If it seems to be ending, wouldn’t he need to fan the flames? He and whoever is the Republican nominee will soon enough kiss and make up. Meanwhile, he has to support his drug habit and keep his show going to do it.
Linda I think the left just isn’t getting this one. We don’t need Rush to tell us who to vote for or not just as I am sure the left doesn’t need instructions on choices.
Rush is an entertainer not a politician. I think the left takes him more seriously that the conservatives do.
I just heard McCain give a 30 second soundbite. His voice has as much life as my poor outdoor plant do today.
I haven’t listened to him in years, and most people no matter their political association, know his show is fueled by controversy. Wouldn’t be as “interesting” without something to be against, now would it?
100 years in Iraq. Yup McCain is my choice. BTW, did he ever say how he would finance 100 years?
Oh that’s right, McCain is a tax and spender. Got it…
Linda I have heard about the demise of talk radio for years and it just seems to grow. I listen when I am in my car because if I listen to music I get so relaxed I get sleepy. Talk radio is either so aggrevating or thought provoking - not sure which - it keeps me awake.
I even listen to Alan Combs if I am up at night and can’t sleep. He is a very entertaining liberal.
Sorry Alan Colmes.
I have this vision of the Limbaugh-tomized Masses. It’s like a dog with an ice cream headache. They’re out there batting their heads with their paws, wondering what’s happening.
McCain is the classic Arizona/Goldwater Conservative and what passes for “conservatism” these days just can’t stand it!
The Republic Party’s working coalition of Racists, Christianists, and Corporatists can’t deal with McCain’s sincere and true conservatism.
I disagree with most of McCain’s positions, but I respect them for his sincere moral compass (like Goldwater’s…whom I often disagreed with). At least there’s some rational coherenence in McCain’s brand of conservatism.
I don’t throw out the word “fascist” lightly, but the evidence of Bushism is pretty clear: Corporate ownership of the political process, military aggression, quashing individual privacy rights… That’s not “conservative,” it’s something far worse. And the Limbaugh-tomized Masses and the Hannity’s and the rest of the Faux Noise Channel propagandists simply cannot deal with the fact that Americans have seen through Bushivisim and are rejecting it.
Colmes is DINO,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Colmes#Criticisms_and_ideology
I put rush in the same boat with that foul mouthed “shock jock” howard stern. They are both in it for the money and are simple entertainers…to some people. I find them both equally repulsive.
Not sure why anyone would listen to either, but that is their choice. What I really don’t understand is why anyone would take either of these talk shows seriously!
McCain is a Goldwater Republican? Gimme a break.
Goldwater Conservative You’re freakin joking right? McCain is juuuust right of Hillary.
McCain’s sincere and true conservatism
Ok I get it now, you are trying to be funny.
Would Ronald Reagan have endorsed Ron Paul?
Heh heh heh.
The truth hurts, huh?
Barry Goldwater himself said, near the end of his life, that he was too “liberal” for the Republic Party.
You poor pathetic self-styled “conservatives” have pushed your party to the edge. Not only to the edge of political dialog, but to the edge of rational thought.
You poor pathetic self-styled “conservatives” have pushed your party to the edge.
Yup, the GOP has gone WAY to far to the left. Time to turn the ship around and head for true conservatism – you know, small government and fewer social programs.
How enlightened of you Monkey. But to compare McCain and Goldwater shows some serious dysfunction or complete lack of knowledge on your part.
Rush is right in that many, many conservatives will not vote for McCain over Hilary- may just have to sit out the election. My view is that, who ever among the known candidates of either party wins the Presidency, America and our children and grandchildren lose and lose big time.
Did you click the links that I posted?
I don’t know why I even bother.
“…radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh…”
I guess you don’t know, Randy, but Rush is a pretty sensitive little flower. Why, he may just go out and do some drugs to overcome the hurt feelings you unjustly inflicted on him… sniff, sniff…
McCain would not be anywhere without indepdendents voting for him.
Many of those independents will dump him, in the General Election.
McCain has NOT been consistent.
McCain wants to make the tax cuts permanent? If they were a bad idea, as he said at the time they were enacted, why the change, now?
McCain said clearly that Judge Alito was “too conservative” and “wore his conservativitism on his sleeve” — he now says he never said that.
There are serious problems with McCain.
So what? Bob Dole had problems too. He lost, remember? (Though Kansas Republicans benefited from the “coat tail effect”)
H.W. Bush had problems with conservatives, and he patched up thos problems.
McCain admits that he doesnt have as much economic or business experience. Therefore, why is it so difficult for him to listen to those who DO? If McCain wants to win, in the general, McCain needs to swallow his pride and quit taking shots at various factions in the base.
If Huckabee was not in the race, Romney would win.
—-
Randy, Rush did NOT say what you claim.
The Republican Party base would be more than happy to support someone who represented all of the various factions of the Republican Party base.
McCain has no principaled reason to oppose conservatives, on some of the issues. He seems to do so out of spite.
That, IMHO, is McCain’s biggest problem.
Would it surprise those on the left that Al Franken and Bill Maher are considered the left wing Rush Limbaughs?
They are all entertainers and make good money for doing what they do. Why does the left take talk radio so seriously?
Monkey get a grip. You will blow a gasket if you keep this up.
Bill Maher ???
Why he is just like Barry Goldwater. Go ask the monkey.
The difference ksgrm is that neither of them are given any sort of special treatment by the Democratic Party. Rush has gotten such VIP treatment by the Republicans.
“Randy, Rush did NOT say what you claim.”
That would be incorrect. Rush did indeed make that quote. In fact it is the basis for his whole program lately.
Monkey gets all worked up anytime Rush’s name comes up.
Must be a secret hard-on crush he’s got for him.
Ben that just isn’t right. Rush seems to get special privileges because his name is in the news so often. Who puts it there? That would be those on the left who are jealous of the fact that a college dropout and former sports announcer for the KC Cheifs is cleaning their plow as far as making money goes.
Leftwing pundents like Maher are on networks like CNN all the time. They are treated like talking heads with some expertise on politics. Where is the difference?
ksgrm - I seem to recall Rush having a place of honor at the Republican Convention in 2000 and 2004. Also he gives a forum to Cheney etc on his show.
I don’t see Franken being considered mainstream within the Democratic Party.
I consider myself middle of the road and I would vote for liberal Hillary over very liberal RINO McCain.
With a Hillary – McCain choice, Liberals can not lose. They could even vote Republican and win!
I consider myself middle of the road and I would vote for liberal Hillary over very liberal RINO McCain.

Sorry for the double post, didn’t see my comments at the bottom and didn’t think it took them.
Anyhow, this election may be the first time we see liberals voting Republican and conservatives voting Democrat.
This is PART of what Rush said:
“. I don’t know where the blog is from. But the guy was going through the exit poll data and has analyzed it, via the CNN website and their exit poll numbers and he says they reveal some surprising things from Florida. Romney won pro-lifers. Romney won the mainstream religious. Huckabee won the very religious, which is less than one-fifth of the pool.
Romney won the Protestants. Romney tied Huckabee with evangelicals. Romney won the pro-George W. Bush voters. Romney is the primary second choice of Giuliani voters and Thompson voters and McCain voters. Romney won the immigration hardliners. Romney won the upper middle class earning between $100,000 and $200,000 annually. Romney won the terrorism-oriented voters. Romney won the self-identified conservatives and the self-identified very conservatives. Romney won the values-oriented voters. Romney won the white voters. Romney won the tax-cutting voters. As this blogger writes, “In short, Romney won the Republican Party’s idea of itself, and that, too, is a big deal. If you’re white, Protestant, anti-abortion, you go to church on Sunday, you think well of the president, you want lower taxes, you hate terrorists, you make a good living, you want to do something about immigration, you live in Florida; chances are you voted Romney. The question before Florida was whether McCain could win in a closed Republican race, and now we know he can. The question now is whether he can win with conservatives, and in Florida McCain did not.”
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_013108/content/01125108.guest.html
The Conservative base is clearly behind Romney.
IF McCain had won more than 50% of the vote, in Florida, you could, perhaps, claim that the Conservative Coalition was split. Even then, you have many former New Yorkers, living in Florida. Florida, even with all those New Yorkers, is not a liberal state.
Also, ROMNEY IS NOT THE ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE! The “establishment” candidate is, clearly, John McCain, as far as other elected Republicans are concerned.
Romney is the insurgent, much like Ronald Reagan against Gerald Ford.
BTW
Franken is actually running for office.
How is he doing?
Econ, Mr. Franken is apparently doing fairly well in fund raising. Couldn’t find any opinion polls to link.
http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/15077821.html
McCain votes Like Hillary, much of the time:

Wow! I missed a whole day of Rush bashing!
I love Rush.
I love him because he’s a very smart political pundit.
I love him because his show is funny and entertaining.
I live him because he’s conservative.
And, most of all, I love him because of his ability to get all the liberal’s panties in a wad!
It’s funny how alot of the libs on this blog equate a conservative having an opinion as strictly the rush kool aid drinkers respouting what rush said.
Sorry kids. I’m an adult and can do my own thinking, thank you very much. Do you REALLY think that I needed rush to tell me what the McCain/Kennedy bill was REALLY going to accomplish and that was why I was against it from the start? OH PLEASE! That the NY Times, endorsed mccain, tells me EVERYTHING I needed to know.
BUT, according to the libs, because rush came to the same conclusion and talked about it on his show, I’m just a robot following rush. You all really are sad.
Talk about having to take the lesser of two evils. Let me clue in all of the libs on this blog. Please pay close attention.
There are NO, REPEAT NO, REAL conservatives running for president from the GOP. We are STUCK with either mccain or romney.
Oh and by the way, got a little secret for you, the dems ARE TOO. LOL
You may hope and you may pray that McCain is the nominee for the GOP and get all kinds of little wet dreams that the conservatives will stay home in November. But my opinion is that if it is billary, the conserves will be out in force voting for whomever is against her, simply because she is billary.
As for obama, LOL good luck with that. Believe me there are STILL plenty of 60-80 years olds who are NOT gonna let THAT happen. I hope I don’t have to explain what I mean by that. Again, my humble opinion.
So no doubt that the libs are for mccain. Like someone posted earlier, he is just the tiniest hair, right of billary.
Hank the Fascist……you love limbaugh because you are both reichwing morons.
Get ready for President Clinton to enter the White House in January 2009.
Apophis,
Be careful what you wish for.
I will welcome the Clintons back in power again.
Me too, Apophis! Are you watching this debate? Our next President of the United Sates of America, Hillary Clinton, is absolutely presidential!
I had leaned toward Obama in the last few days — been vacillating between the excellent candidates representing the Democratic Party — but tonight’s debate has convinced me who I will caucus for next Tuesday! Isn’t she refreshing and well-spoken, intelligent and well-informed, competent? She is someone I am proud will represent me.
Truthfully, I have niothing against Obama. I will support him if he gets the Democratic nomination.
The fact is that Hillary Clinton has 30+ years of experience fending off the attacks from the reich-wing. She is more knowledgable of world affairs. She will be a great president.
They are both sticking to issues, sounding very presidential, certainly not bickering like those who debated last night. I think the Democratic Party should be so proud of their excellent candidates — the two still in the race, and those who will have cabinet positions. ALL will strengthen our country and improve the world for all Americans!
I love the smell of reactionary desperation in the morning (or evening, as the case may be). It smells like victory!
Still, Rush will always have a soft spot in my heart. If there had been no Rush Limbaugh, mrcontroversy would still be an unemployed telemarketer :)
Linda, you are correct, they are both sounding presidential. Hillary as the President and Barack as her “pit-bull” VP.
The best of both worlds!
Just think of the possibility of 16 years of Democratic Presidents in the White House!
Good times are here again!
Dear Apophis,
You are a perfect example of an inconsequential liberal nitwit.
Fascist? I’d be insulted if I thought for a minute that you knew the definition of fascism!
Why does anyone pay attention to some high school educated piece of crap from Missouri? I guess even simple minds need to be stimulated from time to time. Rush is so stupid he makes Sean Hannity look like a genius.
You have proven my point Hank, thank you!
Apophis, Here is THE question! The one about the dream ticket! Let’s listen!
I take it as a big YES!
He did great! All the time he was speaking I was thinking if I’m her I say — what he said! And she did, only nicer and better. What a great time to be an American!
Sorry Linda I can’t agree that she looked presidential. She stumbled all over the place on why she ever voted to go to war. Didn’t have a good answer why she voted that Bush didn’t have to let congress know before going to war. She is a contradiction in motion.
I have to agree I am not real excited with the libs on the GOP side either but either would be better that Hillary. IMOHO Obama is a breath of fresh air with idealistic views of the young just before reality hits them in the face.
It’s already been a long election and nowhere near over. To the victor goes the spoils.
Linda
Speaking ability is only one part of management ability.
Hillary has very, very poor leadership skills.
She is not well liked, in Congress.
She is not well liked by the Arkansas Highway Patrol or the Secret Service.
She certainly can not control her husband.
She never took a leadership role, at Walmart.
She was the attorney for Madison Guarantee Savings and Loan, but did not stop 15 different people, associated with that financial firm, from receiving FELONY convictions.
The average con artist is a great public speaker.
It takes far more than that, to be a true leader.
Tis what makes the world go round, isn’t it, ksgrm? Differences, and the ability to work them out. It’s what makes us a civilized society. When that working our differences stalls — that is and we get nowhere and we know we have problems. Whatever happens this fall I hope we move forward from where we are. I don’t feel we’re in a very good or civilized place. I’m ashamed. Americans can do better than this so I look forward to moving beyond where we are now.
I messed that post up royally! I think you can figure out what I meant to say and didn’t do a good job of posting. sorry.
Oh MY how the cons are smarting!
Econ is ranting as usual and ol’ Hank is shouting from the fetal position.
Missed the last hour of the debate. I WILL make a point to catch it. The first hour was amicable enough and Senator Clinton won on points. Every time I would click back to the second hour everyone was laughing and having a high old time!
Can’t wait to see it.
Heh heh, the cons remind me of the witch in the Wizard of Oz.
“Oh no I’m melting MELTING! How dare you destroy our beautiful ugliness! Oh what a world what a world”
I hope to be listening when Rush dies on the air.
Paul, I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I really want to move beyond what you usually post. I scroll past most of the negative people here — just don’t need that in my life and I’m the one who gets to choose what is included in my days. When my name is posted I pause and read. You called me out so I paused and read. I don’t need to remind you of all the politicians who aren’t well liked or well respected. You wouldn’t listen well to what you don’t want to listen to. Sometimes you seem possessed of ideas. A person who is convinced of an idea may listen to a differing opinion, someone possessed seldom will.
I would never even think of trying to “control” my husband. He is an adult. Hillary isn’t running for control of Bill. Their marriage is a personal relationship between the two of them.
But now that you’ve brought Bill into the conversation I will tell you I was disappointed in him as a man and very proud of him as a President. I think he might be a very good part of Hillary’s term as POTUS! I expect him to do a lot of mending of fences that bushco have badly torn down!
You’re right to not pay much attention to paulthecon linda.
paul’s the past and his time is short and he KNOWS it.
I’m still gonna smack him around, just for old time’s sake.
Linda
If Hillary wins, Bill will be part of her downfall.
Count on it.
You call me “negative”?
That is ok.
I think you are naive.
Juvenile
2 years from now, you will be far, far more disappointed then me.
You simply want revenge (and a free ride)
Nobody will every make you happy.
And, of course, nobody agrees with you.
You tend to your own nominees there paul. You let us worry about ours.
By the way? Yours are gonna be McCain and Huckabee.
Ya may wanna lay in the zoloft.
Shill
You in particular I shall enjoy watching twist in the wind.
I want Hillary to win.
Any of our candidates can beat Hillary.
Yeah paulie sure.
And you have your arms wrapped around your knees rocking back and forth while you keep trying to convince yourself.
I bet on election night you watch the returns with your eyes closed and fingers in your ears.
Hey look at that pic of Rush again.
He is wearing shoulder pads in his suit!
What a poser.
Juvenile
If taxes go up, I will go back to selling tax shelters. It is very profitable work.
If Hillary wins, she will force the irresponsible to buy health insurance. No, I do not want your business.
If either Obama or Hillary wins, we will take over Congress, big time, in 2 years. Neither Hillary nor Obama is up to the job.
I will do just fine.
The Republican Party will do just fine.
The Democrats will fall apart again, when the Country is reminded that you folks do even worse than Republicans.
Sounds like they’re endorsing Hillary.
Rush is the spin doctor of hate and viterol, at least Franken is a comedian, and funny.
“I live him because he’s conservative.”
Hank, Hank, Hank, you and your offspring make the dumbest posts here. I mean really… Sigmund Freud would laugh out loud at your stupid remarks.
We gentle people of Kansas know that you and Nathan can’t help it. I would guess that the preceding judgement wouldn’t be the same impression around the world.
The talk show hosts are being silly. They’re mad at him since he thinks for himself and doesn’t always come out where they do on the issues. Actually having their enmity can only help McCain in a general election. He’s already proven he can win independents, and they admire someone who doesn’t automatically take the supposed right-wing position on every issued.
The age of Reagan conservatisim is over. It died with GW Bush actually. And I, for one, am glad to see it gone. The Republicans are looking at their future and if they had stuck with Reagan, Rush and Hannity, they would not have had any future. They only won the Presidency by a single state last time. And it appears that they are finally accepting the fact that the Mexicans are here to stay and will become more politically potent in the future and all the conservative immigrant bashing is just going to lose them more states.
“”"Rush is right in that many, many conservatives will not vote for McCain over Hilary- may just have to sit out the election. My view is that, who ever among the known candidates of either party wins the Presidency, America and our children and grandchildren lose and lose big time.”"”
Conservatives will vote. They might have to hold their noses to vote but they will. Just like we Obama supporters will do likewise for Hillary
There is no one left worth voting for.
Then you’d be well advised to stay home!
Radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh? I thought you leftists were the more tolerant among us lesser rubes.
And why is Rush a blowhard? Because he dares have an opinion? Because he has an opposing viewpoint? Because he acts as a voice for millions of Americans?
I haven’t heard Rush level personal attacks against McCain. Comments such as “He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment–and that distinction is key” don’t sound like name-calling. They sound like reasoned opinion–unlike Scholfield’s.
If you can get two Liberals running for President, people like Randy cannot lose.
Don’t forget that McCain and his Tanker opposition cost Wichita MANY good job.
Joe - McCain didn’t cost Wichita those tanker jobs. Boeing’s corruption (aided and abetted by Tankerless Todd) did.
John McCain almost went to the Democrats, along with Jim Jeffords.
Yes, that is right, several Democrats are on record as saying that McCain seriously considered switching to the Democrats:
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/democrats-say-mccain-nearly-abandoned-gop-2007-03-28.html
John McCain almost saw the light.
OMG, this is TOO funny and TOO transparant.
“But my opinion is that if it is billary, the conserves will be out in force voting for whomever is against her, simply because she is billary.”
And paulie the con says he WANTS Hillary on the ticket? heh. Heheheh. HEHEHEHEHEH. HEE HEE HEE HEE…
Where are the brer’s when we need them?
“Oh please dont throw us in that Hillary briar patch”… hehehehehehehhehehehhe.
If Hankie loves how rush gets the liberal panties in a wad, I DOUBLE LOVE how Hillary makes all you big strong cons wet yer panties…
HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Clinton/Obama. Now THAT’s the ticket.
I think once she takes the oath of office, you will find that Hillary will be a very different president than Bill. She has the brains, the skills, AND the character to lead us out of this republican shit hole. AND the fortitude to stand up to the hateful wingnuts.
She’s going to be the BEST.PRESIDENT.EVER!
I think it is very telling that the cons here think McCain is a liberal.
I want what YOU guys are smokin’!
“Oh please dont throw us liberals in that McCain briar patch”.
And Linda? Good on you woman for seeing the light! I think you had the best line here today in saying you were happy with Bill as a president and unhappy with him as a man.
I think Hillary will make us happy on both the personal and political. And if Obama will watch and learn for eight years as vp, I think democrats WILL hold the White House for 16 years.
Gotta admit, Bill Maher is somewhat Limbarf-esque, but at least he’s funny. Plus he’ll say over and over just how AFU the Dems are as well as how bad the Reps are scrogging us.
Agreed, ghotiphaze. He’s an equal opportunity offender. Just like Jon Stewart.
Don’t get to watch Stewart. Only get to see Bill because he’s on at 3am on the weekends. My schedule doesn’t allow ‘real’ TV. But I have all the programs on the 2 history and 6 Discovery channels memorized!
Hee hee hee…
And I bet you could give good reviews on all the infomercial products too.
Say, now THERE’s a new career path!
I don’t see how the info mercials make money. You’d think all their profits go into the advertising of the show. It’s not like you’re paying pharmacutical prices for the mighty hangers, slice and dice knuckle mashers, and how to make fortunes in real estate buying houses for under 1k each.
Romney on McCain;
http://www.kansas.com/wireupdates/story/297569.html
LONG BEACH, Calif. - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Thursday accused his rival John McCain of adopting underhanded tactics from Richard Nixon, the GOP president who resigned in disgrace.
SWEET!
I know there are people out there who listen to Rush and take his words as gospel. My dad is one of them, and it DRIVES ME NUTS! We got to arguing politics, and he called me a liberal like it was a bad thing. I just laughed.
OK Raston — YOU said yesterday:
“As for obama, LOL good luck with that. Believe me there are STILL plenty of 60-80 years olds who are NOT gonna let THAT happen. I hope I don’t have to explain what I mean by that. Again, my humble opinion.
So no doubt that the libs are for mccain. Like someone posted earlier, he is just the tiniest hair, right of billary.
FIRST — You obviously have deep seated RACIST overtones in your comment… SHAME on you!! Go find some facist country!!
SECOND — You want so much to make McCain into a liberal… WHAT IF — Hillary is that close to McCain, because SHE is really that much of a Conservative?? Hmmm????
THIRD — I do wish that you would keep your racism and your bigotry off of this Blog… This Blog might be a lot of things… But RACISM is NOT something needed here!!
Chas my friend?
I hated reading that from Gene just as much as you did.
But the fact is? In his own hateful deluded way, he is right.
There ARE white men who would never vote for a woman or a black man for President.
We’ve cut down the racism tree. We’ve pulled the sexist stump.
But roots run deep.
I suspect that Gene is wrong though as to the age group.
Older folks know that Democrats regardless color or gender value them. This is not true of the GOP.
It is not 60-80 year olds by and large would oppose a woman or black President. It is the middle aged white man hanging on to a dying past.
And his own self interest in it.
To put it simpler. Gene is projecting his hate on other people. That way he does not have to answer for it.
