BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
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.
END TRANSCRIPT
“If Bill Clinton could run for a third term and ran as a Republican, he’d have more of a conservative record to run on than Romney.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sad but true and I despise Clinton. If JFK were to return he would be considered a wild eyed far right wing nutcase. Even Hubert Humphrey, the father of medicare, would be to the right of most Republicans now.
obama won the state senate and the U.S. senate by digging enough dirt to get his opponent to quit at the last minute. He didn’t have to do that with McCain. McCain quit the moment he was nominated.
So, how will obama destroy Romney to the point he’ll quit? If obama thinks he could lose.
“see the Ken Doll perfervidly osculate The Magic Marxist Mulatto from Mombasa’s hindquarters in a lavish manner.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Well now, I ain’t real shore he’d do alla that there but I bet he’d kiss his ass fer a fare you well.
LOL, Rush supported ROMNEY!!! in 2008, over his two challengers.
I have always liked Santorum and believe he is a true conservative. No matter what others say
Yeah, a man that gave Massachusetts the original version of Obamacare, raised taxes and fees $700 million dollars, believes in man-made global warming and wants to raise the minimum wage can certainly be described as a liberal.
And, of course, his present advisers have floated the idea of a brand new tax -- a VAT tax!
“raise the minimum wage”
automatically. not even a vote.
The caller got a mouse in his pocket? Never voted for a democrat, never will. And I suspect I am as old as the caller. Like the General said, you can’t fix stupid and stupid is legislators who have almost half the population paying no federal income taxes.
I already came to the conclusion that this crap ain’t changing in my lifetime and am seeing to it that my progeny can defend what’s theirs with the necessary force. Because some day it will come to that and I’ll be long gone.
Obama will be defeated in 2012.
(Unless, of course there is a third party spoiler, in which case Obama will win easily.)
This is so uncomplicated

I didn’t know jack about him until I saw him at the Hollis, NH town hall.
But the clincher for me was his testimony on Dr. Dobson’s Family Talk show. I keep forgetting that he’s not on Focus on the Family anymore, but has a new talk show. In any event, I really, really enjoyed that interview.
Here are parts 1 and 2 of that program. See if you can keep a dry eye.
Don’t let the “ravi-zacharias” in the links deter you. Somehow, the links are wrongly named, but you will get the Santorum interview, and you won’t be disappointed.
The brilliance of the electorate is reflected in the absolute and total brilliance of Mr. Obama and the Progressives.
Those knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, bible-thumping morons in flyover country can’t begin to understand the subtle nuance of Progressive theories and policies; they just don’t have the intellectual equipment and will be doomed if
Conservative policies are re-instituted.
/sarcasm/
Are We Stupid Enough to Reelect Obama?
Don’t think you’re going to see this headline on Newsweak.
But we are too stupid to see how smart the bamster is. / sarc - according to Newsweak.
Yep. They did it allright, over years of mental and social erosion. That was their plan for the last 70 years.
Sorry, Mitt will not prevent total destruction. He is no different than Obama and will continue the ruination of the country. No way will I vote for Romney. NO WAY.
The Republican Party is stupid enough to have two very flawed candidates in the top tier of primary wins.
Is that an actual sticker? If so, I’m getting one.Go here:

I am condemning OBAMA! Obama must be defeated. All else is secondary. For heaven’s sake, we allied with Stalin when required. I will be happy to vote for the best conservative still standing when the primary comes to me...but all of these guys are far better than Obama. We must remain focused on that. If he wins another term, your angst over fine distinctions: Romney, Newt, Santorum; will seem trivial and sad as we weep for the loss of our country. Sorry if I was unclear.
