RUSH: Now, the politics of this. I was thinking today, folks, right before the show began, how many days have there been in my 23-year career like this. Of course, the first big one was Clinton winning in 1992. The day after that election, I remember how depressed everybody who did not want Clinton to be elected was. I remember how depressed the audience was, and I remember my task that day and how I chose to go about it, which was to be as honest as I could and as positive as I could without abandoning reality. And to keep people engaged and in the game. And there have been, I forget how many, I couldn't think of them all, but there have been many days like this throughout the course of this program where a decision or an election has had a devastating impact on the attitudes of people.
How do you keep people engaged? Of course there are obvious ways to do it from my standpoint in this circumstance. You can talk about the campaign, for example. I touched on it briefly mere moments ago. We know that had this decision gone the other way, as it should have, that Obama was salivating to run against the court, a court that was arrogant and out of touch and disrespectful and had no concern for the plight of the average downtrodden America, four white guys and an Uncle Tom, four rich Republican white guys and an Uncle Tom just took your health care away from you, but they kept theirs. Well, that's gone now. Obama can't run against the court.
As a side note on this, how many embarrassed journalists are there for all these stories this week and last which trashed the court as being out of touch and arrogant? A guy, Roger Simon at The Politico, wrote a piece as though the court had already decided against Obama. And many others had written pieces about how worthless and out of touch and damaging the court was. There were people saying, "We need ten more justices! This court's been overtaken by a bunch of rabid right-wingers."
Now they've gotta do their retractions.
They don't have the court to run against.
They don't have this as an issue to run against.
We have a great issue thrown right in the middle of our laps, and that is fraud/deceit. "What do you mean, a tax makes it okay? Is there anything the government can't tax? Is there no universe alive that the government can't get itself involved in? So we've got a rotten economy that Obama can't defend. We have a Supreme Court he cannot attack. So from the standpoint of the campaign going into the summer, the fall, and so forth, you could look at it as a positive. You could say accurately, too, that the anti-Obama vote will be loaded for bear.
It will be large, and it will be animated, and it will be energetic. Now, what's Obama got to run on? He can't run on his record; it's a disaster. He can't promise to do four more years of what he's done. Unless he wants to run on the great things represented by Obamacare and say, "It's just a taste of what could happen, just a little sample of what more we can do working together," and so forth. This will all work itself out, shake itself out as the months and days unfold before our very eyes and ears. But I have to tell you something.
I'm gonna look at this, and I have, and I can find plenty of positives in it in terms of a campaign and the advantages it gives us and the ways in which to attack the incumbents that we have. But I wish it weren't the case. I wish we didn't have to do this. This is very, very troubling, what happened today. The way in which this disaster of a law was determined to be constitutional indicates the country is in a place... You all know it, and know it together. The country is in a very dangerous and precarious place, and it really is hanging by a thread.
And that thread is either going to unravel in November or it's going to get stronger and we start sewing things back together. But it really does boil down to November. I think it's just unfortunate that we've gotten here. We've gotten to this point where the Constitution... I said it yesterday and the day before. We wouldn't even be here if everybody involved simply had respect for and understanding of the Constitution. We wouldn't even be here. And that's what really is frightening about this.
It's the Constitution that's hanging by a thread and all the rest of us with it. But what's abundantly clear is we can't count on anyone except ourselves. "We, the people." It's up to us. We can't count on anyone. I tried to share with you the disquietedness I felt this week as the anticipation built. "Will the health care ruling come Monday? No, it's gonna be Thursday!" And all the citizens and all the media gathered outside the court, tongues hanging, heavy breathing (panting), waiting for the decision of what it turns out to be.
Five people in a country of over 300 million decided. Now, I understand that it's a great opportunity we had to go to the court because the Congress used shenanigans and did pass this thing in a totally convoluted way. Just the idea here that, like in the old Roman days and the gladiator, the emperors were up there with thumbs up or thumbs down. It's where we are. November really does matter, and we can't count on anyone except us. So now we have to sit here and hope that all of us are up to the challenge. 'Cause it's a big one.
END TRANSCRIPT
I'll do my part to help it happen.
VIRGIL GOODE
FOR PRESIDENT
2012
Romney has promised that he will appoint judges who are like Roberts.
Maybe if you quit talking yourself into voting for liberals, we could someday turn things around. I made the mistake of voting for McCain, thinking I had no choice. Well, he got enough votes from suckers like me to encourage the GOP bigwigs to think that they could force people like me to vote for Romney.
I sense that the only way to convince GOP elitists to quit nominating liberals is to quit voting for the liberals that they try to force us to support. So, I will not vote for Romney. In fact, I will vote against Romney and Obama.
There is still time for the elitists to dump Romney. If they run him, I believe he will lose. If he loses badly enough, maybe we’ll get a decent candidate next time.
In short, in the long run it will help if you vote against Romney and all other liberals who run.
“...if he is miraculously re-elected...”
40% hardcore base, union members, brilliant intellectual geniuses, independents (also brilliant intellectual geniuses) will vote him back in; 55 to 45 Obama.
IMHO
I don’t know what the final vote to be,but Iexpect him to be re-elected. just like today, i did not know how they were going to do it, but I said all along and expected them to uphold obamacare. But, that was what the majority of those who voted in 2006 and 2008 voted for.
You're right. Eight years of Romney and other Democrat sounds worse to me. So does Romney working with a Democratic congress as opposed to Obama having to work with a growing Republican majority.
I'll hold out for real change -- Scott Walker in 2016.
This is why we must make sure that we not only keep the House, but increase our seats, and most important get the super majority in the senate, so whatever the rats try to do to throw a rock in or to filibuster it won’t help them

That Obama -- single-handedly -- is THE Destroyer of America.
#1...Let me first give a Biblical analogy. The Bible says there is THE Anti-Christ -- but also says there are many "anti-christs" (2 John 1:7: For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.)
For example, an "anti-christ" person is ANYBODY who falls under this explanation in 1 John 2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
So...people -- plural -- can be AN "anti-christ" -- without being THE "Anti-Christ."
Likewise, Obama could be a destroyer of America...without being THE destroyer of America.
Are there people -- plural -- who would destroy America as we know it? (Of course!)
But the reality is...
...#2...if America is destroyed, its own sin would be what brings it down. Many times God used ruthless pagan rulers to bring Israel or parts of Israel into subjection/exile. God often allowed that to happen to bring those Israelites back from idolatry and OTHER serious sins.
As somebody once said: If God didn't destroy America, he'd have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. The sheer evil that America has perpetrated -- and is now exporting thruout the world ($ for international abortion industry; porn; etc.) will rebound to us eventually.
#3...the ADDITIONAL reason your comment makes me chuckle is the sheer sovereign power you assign to one person -- Obama...as if such one person could override God's protective power.
America has "earned the right" for God to lower His hedge of protection around America -- so that a series of destroyers could sequentially impact America toward eventual destruction.
But I laugh because of the way you treat Obama as some sort of sovereign god...with assigning him (single-handedly) the power to override our God.
Yes, God may elect to yield America...to give us over to our own lusts...and the gods we have erected -- including apparently your political god, your political messiah, your political savior, Mitt Romney...who REALLY does portend to be a "god-in-embryo" on his way to full-grown godhood.
I would say that it's more likely that God just sees your chasing after political saviors who portend divinity to be furthering the fuel of idolatry; not quenching it! Which just accruals more fuel for judgment in this land! Repent!
AUTOMATED RESPONSE FROM DFU’S COMPUTER:
Since Doug has little respect for your opinion, he chose not to read the drivel you wrote. I suspect others will similarly pass it by.
(that’s what I thought...your automaton computer had to do your thinking — and your communication — while your brain was on leave...let us know if it ever returns)
