I wonder what he bases this belief on. It seems to me that if they can get their hideous candidate elected, they're hardly in decline.
I don't know. I think he's right about this. If we're actually stupid enough to elect Lurch I think that the electorate will rather quickly realize what a colosal mistake we've made. If Kerry gets in expect 2006 to mirror 1994, and that would really doom the Rats to minority party status for another 25 years.
Don't get me wrong, I really think that this thing is going to go our way. I don't believe that he'll get in. But if he does, the American people won't put up with extreme left wing liberalism for long.
You have to hear the whole segment. He quoted Presidential candidates in the not distant past who refused to let themselves be characterized as 'conservative'. They claimed to be liberals on both sides.
Kerry is trying to hide his liberal nature. He is goose hunting (Pro Gun Candidate), he is a hawk (he will capture OBL in the first week of his term), he is for tax cuts (for selected Americans only), he has God on his side (he just won't let God influence his actions), and he reacted violently to the L-Word in the debates.
Rush quoted surveys where the percentage of Americans who identify themselves as 'liberal' has dropped precipitously, while the percentage who classify themselves as 'conservative' is way up.
Even Clinton had to be a conservative to survive. He had to adopt the Republican welfare-reform. The conservative viewpoint grew both in flyover country and in the Congress during Slick's regime.
