RUSH: Pete, South Hold, New York, glad you waited, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Hey, Rush how you doing? I love you.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very good. Thank you very much.
CALLER: You're the only thing that keeps me sane, but after 25 years of watching politics, listening to you, I'm giving up. I've come to the realization that people aren't misinformed or ill-informed. They're just plain stupid.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: Obama's got 48% approval rating. Who are these people? What planet do they live on?
RUSH: That happens to correspond to the number of households that are receiving a government check of some kind.
CALLER: Well, it's just too much to overcome, Rush. I have ten good years left, I can't put up with the aggravation. I talk to these people every day. They give me every reason in the world why they support this clown in the White House.
RUSH: Let me give you two words. New Zealand.
CALLER: (laughing.)
RUSH: I know what you mean. I know exactly what you mean. Take any person in this country who's totally absorbed in pop culture. The big thing in their life is watching Entertainment Tonight. They vote. If they vote, we're screwed. You know damn well they haven't the slightest idea what's going on. But that's always been the case. There's nothing new about it, Pete. The number of people who are clueless, uninvolved, no interest whatsoever, they've always had a sizeable percentage of the American population that qualify for that characterization. You're just older than most and you're far more informed than most, and you're saying, "How come other people can't see it?" And you're singing my tune.
CALLER: It's gonna take 150 years to turn that attitude around, Rush. I just haven't got the time.
RUSH: Well, if you've only got ten years left it's not your problem.
CALLER: (chuckles)
RUSH: I'll work on it. Look... (sigh) It's dire, this health care bill. And I want to tell you again: If this guy with his 42% approval rating, with his unpopularity issue to issue -- you look at Obama issues and look at how they poll -- if this guy gets reelected? Katie, bar the door! When there's no accountability, when there's not another election to win, it isn't gonna matter. The next four years is where Obama is gonna be totally devoted to fully implementing the agenda he's been trying to hide in large part these three years. It's going to be earth-shattering, and the next four years is when where you wish were happening now is going to happen. The next four years, if he gets reelected, is when people are gonna say, "Oh, my God, what have we done?"
You think it should be happening now. Wait 'til the next four years if he gets reelected. That's when it's going to happen. Because nobody is going to be untouched by this. Everybody is gonna be made poorer. Everybody is going to lose a significant amount of liberty, just in Obamacare alone. Everybody is going to see the elementary basics of life shoot up in price: Food, gasoline, whatever. It's going to skyrocket, and that's when people are going to say, "Oh, my God, what happened?" At a certain point in time in the future, there isn't going to enough money in the hands of other people to tax it and redistribute it. They will be bled dry. The Golden Goose won't exist.
If this guy gets four more years, there's nothing stopping him. The fact that he won't have to get reelected. There won't be any games of extending the Bush tax cuts, for, for example. There won't be any health care waivers. There won't be any delaying the onslaught of the massive increase in the size, reach, and scope of government. There's a reason Obamacare doesn't fully implement 'til 2014. If it fully implemented by now, no Democrat would be reelected in November. That's why this is important. That's why so many people are pulling their hair out over the Republican primary and demanding -- hoping, praying -- for a genuine conservative. That's why people are willing to overlook some of the baggage, because the people that do get it, Pete, like you, understand what's at stake here.
People that don't yet understand it, 'cause they're too clueless, in a fog, wandering around... I know what you're wondering: How can people get up every day and be happy? How can people get up every day and laugh with what's happening in the country. I know. You turn on your television and you watch a sporting event or you watch a television show, whatever it is, and you wonder: "How come these people don't get it? How can these people not understand what's going on?" You expect there to be, expressed by everybody, an awareness that we are in trouble. And when you don't see it, you scratch your head and ask, "What are these dummkopfs not seeing?" I know exactly how you feel. It's what we're trying to change here.
We're all in the same boat together at the same time. In 2013, no more nice Obama. Another thing about the airlines. I left something out that's very important and I shoulda sent it. This is on top of the list in terms of reasons. The unfunded pension plans that they are responsible for, they're talking $10 billion to $50 billion in underfunded pensions, if you look industry-wide. I'll guarantee you... I can't say this conclusively without looking it up and confirming it. But my wild guess would be that of the airlines year-to-year that do well, they're either not union, or a very small percentage of the workforce is union. And the airlines that are in huge, big trouble owe money years and years and years in the future to retired employees who aren't going to be productive. And it's choking 'em. That would be probably at the top of the list, to answer the question.

Yessirree, Bob, especially if the left gongo is badly infected; a common situation among Congress critters of both parties.
The cure is even more painful. One lays the infected gongo on an oak stump, while a colleague smacks it sharply with the butt end of an Iver-Johnson shotgun. Both parties must, must I say, wear proper personal protection, and if it's a really old Iver Johnson, make sure it is unloaded. Rinse the exploded gongo with corn whisky, conserving a like amount for refreshment.
I must also warn you that the use of the word "watermelon" during the hopefully few remaining days of the Obama Administration could be construed as "racist."
I knows for a fact that The Mombasa MF, he don't like that.
Do not confuse the Mombasa MF with a potentially useful object.
You are the truest form of asshat there is on this website...It doesn’t really matter anymore if you are a liberal, conservative, or 99%’er...
Which is what I believe you emulate more than anything...
What was that??? You feel like you’re not getting your fair share??? Well, I’ll tell you what you have earned...
Every single time you post anything, you prove one thing...
You have nothing at all, either substantive, or credible to say at all...A TRUE Mitt-bot if there ever was one...
Me, a Paul-bot??? hehehe, you ARE absolutely insane, you don’t even know what any of that means, and it proves my point...
Anytime, anywhere...Getting one up on you would not be much of a challenge, your immature rantings prove this everytime you manage to put something in this website...
You will always be a pathetic coward, who is not at all involved in anything conservative, either socially or politically...Worms have more utility than you...What a wasted life you have lived so far...
Maybe someday you’ll warrant someones pity, not mine, and not some of the others here who have proven conservative accomplishments and records...
You??? Not even registering, and probably never will...
Seek life and entertainment elsewhere maggot...
I had a friend, now deceased, who told me, “ I am not interested in politics or what goes on in the world, but I DO vote”. Liberals think that the freedom to vote is all that we need ( not thinking that there is no freedom between our visits to the polls). My father’s grade school text book stated, “an unintelligent vote is worse than no vote’ Of course it was published in 1909.
Lincoln said “You can fool some of the people some of the time, you can fool all the people some of the time, bur you can’t fool ALL the people ALL the time.”
Well, it does prove that Romneys’ money will buy anyones support...
So how does it feel to be such a well lubricated tool for your liberal boy there???
You obviously feel intimidated around real/true conservatives enough to keep on grinding the same old fixations on others “real” accomplishments...
You’re the kind of idiot that thinks if they keep pulling on Superman’s cape, they’ll come out of it unscathed...
You can’t keep up with the rest of us, so again little boy (and I use the term loosely) you run along now, go lick the boot of Romney, and se if he’ll give you a fudgesickle or something to keep you in line...
Your type don’t fly at all here in Texas...
And besides, your a Romney plant anyway, and don’t live in Texas to begin with...2007 a big “tell” there Mass-boy...
They were stupid enough to vote for him the first time, they’ll be stupid enough to vote for him again.
And then again, Republicans are stupid enough to vote for Romney.
Yes they are.
Can Romney be trusted to follow the path of most of his GOP Presidential predecessors, and for that matter, Gingrich or Santorum? The answer is yes, unfortunately. At least any of them will probably gut the mandatory aspects of Obamacare, lest they face a revolt.
Additionally, Obama is not Clinton. He is a "red diaper" baby with a leftist mother and leftist maternal grandparents whose leftism is apparent from boyhood on. Clinton may have taken the Communist kool-aid at Georgetown, Oxford, and Yale, but he was also a pragmatist, as evidenced by his re-tooling his liberal image to a moderate one after his re-election defeat as governor of Arkansas. Even with the GOP controlling both Houses of Congress, Obama will push his agenda via recess appointments and executive orders.
The bottom line is: support the GOP nominee, be nice to Ron Paul and his supporters so they don't go third party, keep Bloomberg and Trump pacified so they don't do a 2012 reprise of Ross Perot, and hope for the best.

No Romney cannot be trusted to do anything but continue to enable liberal progressives, and the Republican Party leadership who wish to destroy the TEA Party ideas, and pay lip service to the grassroots conservative voting base...
And with the support of childish bloggers like “Sudetenland” who are plants to agitate and further enable liberals like Romney to bamboozle voters on a national stage, it will make it easier for Obama to win that second term...But this “FReeper” (I continue to use the term loosely) cannot let it go, they’ve been called out, and continue to engage in that effort...
To cancel them out, we need to ensure the Senate goes as conservative as we can get it, and keep the House...This next election may not be what we exactly want it to be, but 2014 can be another flushing of RiNO’s IF we stay the course...
The revolt has already started (some don’t realize that yet)...As soon as they were successful in taking Texas out of the immediate decision loop, our primary vote (our voice)will be kicked back one week at a time till Romney is assured of “his turn” to take a shot at the liberal-progressives...He doesn’t stand a chance...Nobody did who decided to put their name in the hopper for the job...
“Anyone but Obama” is their lame attempt to rally the troops...And it will be their failure, if it does go their way, and it will confirm everything we know to be true about the moderates and liberals within the Republican party...
