RUSH: Bob in Corpus Christi, Texas, welcome to the program, sir. Nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Yes. Hi, Rush. About Hillary.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: You're wrong if you don't think she can win. Be afraid, be very afraid.
RUSH: (sighing)
CALLER: It's very simple. John Kerry almost won. He lost by three points, and he based his whole campaign on three and a half months in a swift boat. And his background, his voting record was buried. He made his name in VVAW, a bunch of bogus psychopathic radicals. He told a bunch of twisted lies about being in Cambodia. He goes to Paris and meets with the enemy during Vietnam and works on their behalf. All that was buried and he almost won. If it hadn't been for the alternative press, he would have won. (eStack: John F. Kerry Stack Catalogs the Near-Disaster)
RUSH: Yeah, the alternative --
CALLER: The same thing could happen with Hillary. They're going to bury all her past; they're going to portray her as a moderate like they did Kerry.
RUSH: One of the things you have to understand, though, about Kerry. I think it's a little bit mistaken to compare Kerry to Clinton because in truth, Kerry was an unknown to most of the people in the country. He was this dog-faced senator who didn't do much throughout his career, then when he runs for president he had a little bit of --
CALLER: Rush, consider this.
RUSH: Well, wait a minute.
CALLER: Think about -- think about -- he sounded like --
RUSH: No, the point is everyone knows who Mrs. Clinton is. That's my point. John Kerry would love the kind of fawning press that Mrs. Clinton has received for 13 years, and it's resulted in 51% of the people saying they definitely don't want to vote for her. Now, look it, you can sit there -- and I'm not going to disagree with you. She could win. I mean, anything can happen. Who knows the future? I'm just saying telling you there's no reason to be afraid of it.
CALLER: Rush. Rush, hold on. Consider Kerry's appearance. He looks like Frankenstein, he's got a boring, patrician voice that puts everybody to sleep. They can't stand it.
RUSH: Bob, hang on. Grab cut 13, Mike. You want to start comparing voices? Here's John Kerry, puts himself to sleep, puts everybody to sleep, contrasted with this.
HILLARY: I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, "We are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!"
RUSH: Now, really? I mean, that's my point, you're going from one extreme to the other. Why do you want to be afraid? Seriously, Bob, why do you want to be afraid of her?
CALLER: Because she is something to be afraid of, and fear helps to motivate people. If it wasn't for people like you and me, we gotta get out there and stop people like Hillary.
RUSH: Well, I understand --
CALLER: We were able to stop Kerry and we've got to keep going because they're going to keep putting up people like Hillary and Kerry.
RUSH: Yeah, and where's it gotten them? The point is, look it. If you want to talk about fear, I'll allow it in this context. I would be afraid of a Hillary presidency. I mean, who wants that? But in terms of running a campaign and dealing with the potential candidacy that she might get nominated, the attitude to have is oppose her. Now, if part of the campaign is to warn people what will happen, issue by issue by issue, if she is elected, yeah, if you want to call that fear, I think that's just informing people. There's a big difference between trying to gin up a bunch of fear and paranoia than informing people on the truth and giving them facts and so forth. I guess when I say that I don't have any fear, I'm really speaking about her inevitability. I am not one of these people who think, and I haven't ever been, that she has an inevitability to be elected president or that she has an entitlement to it.
I don't think it's written in clouds, etched in stone, etched in the beach, wherever it gets written that that's something this country must have and that she must achieve, and a lot of people do, and I think when you end up being motivated by fear, sometimes it could be a good motivator. But a lot of times it makes you behave irrationally and assume things that aren't, and one of the bad things about fear is it goes hand in hand with assumption, and assuming things you don't know is a dangerous thing, and fear is going to make you assume negative things, and that's not productive, either. So I'm just trying to point out to you here that, despite all of this spin campaign that has been ginned up on her behalf for the last 13 years, it hasn't worked, for a whole host of reasons, but the main reason is her. There's just not that much likable about her, and there really hasn't been.
The sense of entitlement that the media, the Democrats have attached to her, is as I said in the last hour. Here she was this Chicago woman that went to school at Yale and met this horn dog from Arkansas, and she could have had a brilliant career on her own. You know, she was the leading feminist light. She made it plain as day she was a feminist, in every possible way. You could tell by looking. And she was going to go to all kinds of great heights. And then, and then she met and fell in love with a horn dog and gave it all up, gave it all up to move to the swamps of Arkansas, and had to lower herself to work in some place called the Rose Law Firm, so beneath her talents, so beneath her potential. Look at the years she sacrificed, and look at what she put the up with, Gennifer Flowers and who knows who else. And she stood behind him, and she was the reason he became elected president, and now it's her turn to be rewarded. That's been the whole thing that's propelled her. That's it. Her health care plan had a large role in the Republicans winning the House in 1994 in those elections. We're not dealing with somebody here who is unbeatable or who is even that formidable.
I don't think hitlery will even win the dim primary. She may not even run if her poll numbers don't improve. HAHA.
The other unknown...why hasn't anyone considered that Karl Rove might run in 08? I know he'd get my vote! He's a strong conservative with wicked insight into both domestic and foreign policy. He's earned his chops and for some reason, no one's mentioned him for the spot.
So, I will. Karl Rove for 2008!
Is this the Diane Lane you mean? 
I thought so. Sorry for the off-topic post, but it is not healthy to think about Hillary for too long.
Michael Medved had McCainiac on yesterday and was falling all over himself encouraging the Vain One to run. It was sickening! When Medved gets off-course, he REALLY gets off-course. He sure was yesterday.
I mean, can you imagine having to listen to THAT????
Don't forget that Diane Lane is Barbra Streisand's daughter in law.
The epitome of a belle dame.
"Michael Medved had McCainiac on yesterday and was falling all over himself encouraging the Vain One to run. It was sickening! When Medved gets off-course, he REALLY gets off-course. He sure was yesterday."
Right, and the libnuts also want mcVain to run. They are the ones touting him but not that THEY would vote for him...they know that all us conserves won't vote for him. I don't know Medved well enough, haven't listened to his show, but why is he for McVain?
I can understand why some libnuts would want McVain to run...as an antogonist to Bush.
The libnuts cannot get off the fact that Bush isn't running in 08. They will eventually figure it out. LOL.
This is going to be a bumpy 3 years, for sure! LOL.
I didn't know that. Is she another moonbat? Say it isn't so.
And ten years later that same Republican House helped pass the largest healthcare initiative this nation of states has ever seen. Some conservatism there Rush...
But keep voting Republican. If you don't you may get big government, more welfare programs, and no defense of the borders. Oh wait, we've had that in the past five years haven't we?
Just lovely. I didn't see the film.
I liked her in Perfect Storm:
Now, Bobby, you have two choices. You can (1) drown or (2) go home to Diane Lane. Would you like to hear those choices again? Do you need more time to make up your mind?
People can't be pimped like they used to be by the TV or movies anymore. People are onto their media surroundings. Everyone knows the level of bullshit they are handed today.
Would he have to resign his post as NY District Attorney to run??
(standing by for comments...)
LOL!!! Perhaps, Rush should start writing some romance novels. Good opening line.
Maybe not off-topic. I know a Brasillian head nurse that looks similar to her that is moving here for good in March as a head nurse in a pediatric hospital. Starting pay is $73K when she finally sells off her stuff down there and walks through the door in CA ready to work. Passed the NCLEX exam in English at the top last November. Visa, no problem. Green card, no problem. Very feminine and work oriented with a few languages under her bra. 14 yrs experience. Smart and not imposing. Different career field than mine and lots to talk about and do together for twice a year the last few. And not Americanized (yet).
SO, I ask what did Mrs. Bill Clinton do that compares to a woman like that?
Of course this was the same Rush who six years ago said that the former first lady would never go through with a campaign to be Senator from NY. Let's see. Who's the junior senator from New York? Oh yeah, the one he said would never run or could never be elected.
Thanks for the ping.
What is there to be scared of? What I am scared of is Republicans afraid of a fight.
