BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Dave in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Hi, Dave. Great to have you on the program. Hello.
CALLER: Hi, Rush, thanks for taking my call. Here's the deal. I believe that the Republicans are never gonna win another presidential election until they can somehow win back even 30% of the black vote. You cannot continue to lose over 90% of one major voting bloc and win a national election anymore. I just don't see it happening.
RUSH: Well, I understand your theory, but I must respectfully disagree. The Republicans have won plenty of presidential races with the Democrats getting 93% of the black vote. It happened in 2000. It happened in 2004. It happened in 1992. It happened in 1980, '84. The same thing is being said about the Hispanic vote. I was just thinking while I was waiting to take your call, there was a news item last week. There was some result with the Republicans, it might have been a poll or something and the Republicans were winning big in it, and there wasn't one word about the Hispanic vote in it. I mean, it would be great to break up that voting bloc. I don't disagree with that. But to say that they're never gonna win another election without doing so, that's bit of a stretch.
They woulda won this election in 2012 if they'da had a candidate that every Republican who voted in 2008 wanted to vote for in 2012. There are four million Republicans that didn't vote in 2012, for whatever reason. And if they had, it wouldn'ta mattered. If Obama hadn't gotten as many Millennials as he got, Romney would be president today. You know, the Democrats have their own problems in this regard. We make the mistake that the Republicans don't do this, they don't do that, they don't get this bloc, they don't get some of that bloc, they're never gonna win another election. That's media BS. That's Republican consultant media BS. And it isn't true, historically it isn't true.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I remember what it was. It was the story that we had last week that if the election were held today, Romney would win, and that story said nothing about Hispanics or the Hispanic vote. If the election were held today -- it was a reflection of people's attitudes on Obama and the country -- Romney would have won. Meaning: If people had known in 2012 what they know today, Romney would have won. Not with Hispanics, not with the black vote, not with the women's vote, the pro-abortion vote. Just the general public.
Now, Obama is out today, in his speech today, he said that addressing income inequality will be the focus of all White House effort for the rest of his presidency. Now, if everything Obama's talking about today, this week, last week, all this stuff, if he had campaigned in 2012, "This is gonna be what I'm gonna do," you think he woulda won? Income inequality, expanding the welfare state, raising the minimum wage? No chance. Not a chance. We've been defrauded, folks. I can't tell you how many ways, but there's always tomorrow.

Really Rush? Duh............
Frankly whether or not Obama actually won, I don’t really look at his opponent as a good alternative.
It was Obama, or Obama-lite.
The GOP needs to run an actual Republican next time.
Interesting. I always love that map showing so much red. The only problem is that very few people live there. We definitely do great in rural areas of the country, but we need to break some of the suburbs around big cities and of course the cities where most of America lives. The liberals as stupid as they are always say that over 1.5 million voters voted in the 2012 election so they feel they should have won the House. However, the way it works is that the cities receive their House seats where everyone in America lives and the conservatives get the rest which consists of more House seats. Liberalism really is a disease.
I’ll take Romney any day over the effing Marxist sitting in the oval office today. At least destroying the country wasn’t on his agenda.
Riddle me this: According to Pundit Press...
“In total, there are 21 districts in Cleveland where Mr. Romney received precisely 0 votes. In 23 districts, he received precisely 1 vote. And naturally, in one of the districts where Obama won 100% of the vote, there was 100% turnout. What a coincidence!”
In Ohio, we have at least two Republicans and Two Democrats as poll watchers. You mean to tell me that NONE of these pollwatchers voted for Romney?!?!?!
As long as this happens, Republicans will never win the WH.
Massive voter fraud, enough to push zero over the edge is considered fringe conspiracy nonsense in mainstream circles, but probably actually happened.
So would I
What I found quite interesting is if you looked at the reader comments on newspaper websites before the election - for example NY Post, LA Times, Washington post etc etc basically every newspaper website from all over the country, the reader comments were almost always 70-90% AGAINST Obama.....Yet Obama wins? Do liberals avoid posting comments on newspaper websites? With their big fat mouths? I don’t think so. The fact is the majority of this country did not want Obama doing a 2nd term yet here we are - He’s doing a 2nd term, and proving to be exactly what most people thought he would be: An absolute disaster from hell.
If they wanted to they could name the owners of every cell phone that visited multiple polling places on election day, and tell us how long they spent at each one.
If they wanted to.
Of course it was. Seriously, is there any doubt?
The scales are falling off of people's eyes concerning Obama's broken promises imo.
- Congrats!
You got the queer black muslim ...
The swing states were R gov and R SoS.
We got ourselves to blame.
BTTT
The future is Hillary, start worrying about that, not 2012.
