Rush on yesterday's show:

They don't think you're smart enough to understand that they are the ones who are trying to engineer a humiliating defeat for the United States for the simple purpose of pinning the loss on Bush. I've long been saying this, and I've been saying it since as a theory, but it much more acutely now. It is crystal clear to me what these people are doing. It's also crystal clear to me that they're tone deaf. It is crystal clear to me that their arrogance and condescension is such that it prevents them from seeing the mistake that they're making. Here we are in the middle of the surge. It's working. The boots on the ground everybody is talking about, are working. The Democrats are not the disputing these reports, by the way, from General Pace; yesterday the New York Times, Major General Rick Lynch. The Democrats -- well, they might tonight. It will be interesting to see. But so far they haven't disputed any of this.

They just ignoring it, and they're trying to create false news with the help of their buddies in the Drive-By Media. "It's all falling apart. It's so bad, we can't wait. We have to get out now!" What I want you to know is, the only reason we have to get out now is because if it's working -- and this, by the way, the NIE and these two statements from the two military guys in the past two days? They were the worst news the Democrats could have heard. That's why they're doing this all-nighter tonight. That's why here hoping it gets covered the way they want it covered: "Bash Bush! Blame Bush! Try to overwhelm the report of the surge being successful with another all-nighter of drum beating, doom and gloom, negative Bush-bashing," knowing fellowly the Drive-Bys are going to amplify it and cover it. Here's the point. Iraq will be a Bush and Republican loss -- even though the Democrats will have forced it -- if they succeed somewhere down the road the next year and a half. They're peeling off these Republican moderates. I'll get a little story on that as the program unfolds today. So far, they don't have the votes to cut off funding, and I don't think that they would ever do it if they did have the votes.

It wouldn't be veto proof. But this defeat, this theoretical defeat that they're seeking, and all the horror that will flow from it will be laid at the Republicans' feet. I'm telling you what this is. This is about one thing. It's about building a Democrat political agenda for the next 25 years. They're not going to lose the House again like they did in '94. They're not going to go through 14 years in the wilderness! That's not going to happen -- and they're not going to lose the Senate. It's not going to happen! So they're setting all this up. They gave it a shot with immigration. That was the Comprehensive Destroy the Republican Party Act of 2007. We staved it off, but these people are relentless. Their weakest point has been national security. They intent to manipulate the war effort to, in their minds, "fix" that. So, while embracing surrender and the anti-war movement and undermining the war, they expect to come out of this as the national security party -- and they can only do that with the help of the Drive-By Media and securing a loss. But I don't even think they can pull that off. I don't think there is any way that they can be seen as strong as national security, given the rhetoric and the votes and the way they have behaved in the first six and a half months of this Congress.

But this defeat, this theoretical defeat that they're [ the Dims] seeking, and all the horror that will flow from it will be laid at the Republicans' feet. I'm telling you what this is. This is about one thing. It's about building a Democrat political agenda for the next 25 years.

Ah, the divine Rush... This is the salient point of the entire matter. It's a bell curve thing. The general public will not easily believe that one of the major parties is capable of this sort of treachery. The same approach worked for Hitler. The one indispensable ingredient for a Rat success is a US defeat in Iraq etc.. The GOP Has once again been handed a club by the Party of Defeat. The question is, of course, one of whether the Pub's will put the lumber to the Leftist scum?
