Our People Won't Stay Home
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | September 26, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's Michael in Columbia, South Carolina. I really appreciate your patience, too. Thank you for holding.

CALLER: Well, thank you. It's a pleasure and honor to have a chance to speak with you. I tell everyone I was on a conference call with 30 or 40 million people.

RUSH: (laughing) All right, cool.

CALLER: Snerdley helped me to condense my question. I'm really curious what your thoughts are on just how many conservatives you think so are really gonna be persuaded to stay home or will be influenced by polls. Most of us conservatives out here are smarter than that, you know? I mean, we're the vast majority of the population.

RUSH: I don't think it's going to work.

CALLER: Exactly!

RUSH: I think -- if I may use this phrase "our people," I think -- our people are so revved up that there's not one bit of media fraud that can make 'em sit home.

CALLER: Yep.

RUSH: I think we're beating them in early voting. I think we're beating them in absentee. I think our people can't wait to show up. I'll tell you, there's another segment out there that nobody will ever poll, at least not the Gallups and the CNN's and the New York Times and all that. There are a lot of people out there who are not happy at all over the encroachment on their religious freedom. There are a lot of people who do not like Obama telling the Catholic Church where to go and to get off doing that and so forth.

They do not like that. They're never gonna be polled, but I will guarantee you (call 'em the Values Voters) they are sitting out there and they, too, want to vote. They are chomping at the bit waiting to get to the polls. So I don't think the suppression effort is going to work. However, the reason I spent time today addressing this and the reason I decided to is because there's genuine fear that others will sit home.

I hear from people, friends of mine. "Oh, gosh, Rush! Do you see this? I'm worried our people aren't gonna show up." Nobody is worried about themselves. Nobody tells me, "I've had it! I'm fed up. Screw Romney. Screw Ryan. Screw voting." Nobody's telling me that. They're still saying, "Screw Obama. To hell with Obama." But they're worried that people they don't know are gonna be affected by it and will sit home.

CALLER: Yeah. The only people that I know that really ask me about what I think about the polls are people that are not necessarily conservative for the most part. So they look at 'em and they kinda sorta wonder about 'em if they're believable or not. And I tell them, "No. It's all BS, and I think it's gonna be a landslide and I look forward to it." They look at me like I'm a little crazy and I say, "Hey, just wait."

RUSH: Well, they look at you like you're crazy because nobody's saying that. The landslide is Obama. I'm gonna tell you something.

CALLER: Well, I say that just to (garbled).

RUSH: On Obama's side right now, there's nobody... Although I'm gonna take that back. I was gonna say that I don't think the Obama people think they could possibly lose. I think the truth of the matter is they're worried. They're in Ohio. They're spending less time in Iowa. If they've got this wrapped up, why are they there? Why are they sending Obama out there? Why are they having him go on The View and Letterman and Jay-Z and blow off all these world leaders? I'll tell you what: The base that's unsettled is his. He's got the base-turnout problem, not us.

CALLER: Well, there are very dear friends of ours that are die-hard Democrats, and even they're -- I mean, it's a good sign that they're -- pretty much not voting for Obama this time. So I think there's some hope for even folks like that.

RUSH: Well, that's interesting. I hope there's a lot of that. People vote for all kinds of different reasons. Democrats vote for Democrats just because they're Democrats. There are a lot of people, I don't know what percentage, that don't look at this election the way I just described it. I look at this election as ball game for America as founded. Now, if Obama wins, the next day is not gonna be the gulags or anything like that. But I know the guy. I know what his plans are. I know what his intentions are.

I know liberals!

I know what happens when they're in charge of things economically. Look at New Orleans and Detroit. Take a look wherever they run things and there's no opposition. I just challenge you. Moscow, Beijing, Havana, go anywhere. You will not find the kind of prosperity that you are accustomed to in this country. They are just incapable of it. No, I don't think it's over forever if Obama wins, 'cause at some point the people of this country are as resilient as they could be.

If Obama wins, I guarantee you it isn't gonna be two years before a lot of people that vote for the guy are gonna wake up and they're gonna start asking themselves what they have done. I don't want to think about that in those terms down the road. Now, I need to correct this: Not all of us all of us are gonna end up in the gulags. There will be some who are targeted for the gulags shortly after the election. The regime has plans, I'm sure. But you're safe. You're safe.

I appreciate the call very much, Michael.

“Similarities, (1) Hitler built a personality cult - Obama is building a personality cult. (2) Hitler controlled the media so that he could define truth - Obama is more and more controlling the media. (3) Hitler gradually subverted the German Constitution and illegally accumulated more and more power in his own hands - Obama is subverting the American constitution and accumulating more and more power in his hands. 4. Hitler did not respect the lives of the unborn and the infirm - Obama does not respect the lives of the unborn and infirm. 5. Hitler devided the people and turned them against certain groups (like the jews) that he scapegoated and blamed for Germany’s economic collapse - Obama is turning the poor against the middle class (which he calls the rich) and is blaming them for America’s economic problems. Obviously I don’t know his end game but the starting positions are earily similar.”

You’re right. The comparisons between them are eerie and scary. And you are not overstating it. Those who disregard these similarities either: (1) don’t have the education or are too ignorant to be students of history (those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it); or (2) don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to this country.

Obama has the final two years of his lame duck presidency to completely destroy what is left of America.

Check...and mate."

And add to that over half the population will be on the dole. There won't be anybody left to vote conservative. The majority will be bought and paid for by the Rats. Much of the effects of another Obama campaign will be completely irreversible. The best we could hope for then is to be another France - and I can't stand France.

The voters in the primaries nominated Romney over your wishes.

But will they ACTUALLY vote for Romney?

Or merely VIRTUALLY do it, by NOT voting?


This is the ABO folks on FR's logic turned around.

I don't need some irrelevant person to tell me how to think. Nice try.

Vote Romney - at least we won't have an American hating, muslim in the White House.

Why are you even here if you are not going to vote? Why do you losers even post here? Your opinion means nothing as far as I am concerned! Go away, all of you non voters. A lot of people died so you could go freely to the polls so you could vote. Now get the “F” out of here!

Right, will do.

Just... In November... When you are scratching your head wondering why GOP voter turnout was so bad...

...This is why.

I think I remember Alan Keyes. He led a platoon of brave Japanese
soldiers in a bansai attack on my dad’s US paratrooper company
in 1944 on Leyte,PI. None of soldiers of Nippon lived to fight on.

What Keyes doesn’t tell you is that when it comes to healthcare
Romney was governor of a state with a population that overwelm-
ingly wanted government healthcare but that Romney is also
smart enough to know that what Massachuetts wants is not
necessarily what the rest of the country wants.

And I can’t wait for Romney to extend that same line of thinking when he’s the president.

So much for leadership.

“So much for leadership.”

If the Obama style of ‘shove it down their throats whether they
want it or not’ is preferable to you then there’s your man. See,
you do have someone to vote for.

I picture you looking just like your her0 with your chin in the air all smug. Please stay home so you don’t accidentally vote for your her0.

Why should they listen to you when they have never concerned themselves with the 1-3% who vote third party? If you are in an organization, do you concern yourself with what 1-3% of outsiders say?

Up to now I’ve never voted third party, so this is not about that 1-3%

And of course the more of us there are, the more they would have to take notice.
