I Want Hillary Elected President? (Rush Has The Low Information Voter Figured Out)
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | January 3, 2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/03/2014 3:46:32 PM PST by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Did you people know that I want Hillary Clinton elected president? Well, it happened this morning on C-SPAN, on their Washington Journal show. Peter Slen, the host, was interviewing American University Women and Politics Institute director Jennifer Lawless. During the interview they took some phone calls from C-SPAN viewers about women in politics, and a guy from Rochester (snowed in, no doubt), Andrew, called in and had this to say...

ANDREW: I'm a little afraid that Rush Limbaugh is gonna get Hillary Clinton elected. I'm a little afraid.

SLEN: Why do you say that, Andrew? You're calling on the Republican line.

ANDREW: Well, Rush Limbaugh, I don't think is interested in getting Republicans elected. I think he's interested in getting Democrats elected so that the people that pay Rush Limbaugh can make more money off of a divided country. That's just what I think. Anyway, if Rush Limbaugh does get Hillary elected, which is what it -- the people that pay Rush Limbaugh would like him to do, do you think that Hillary Clinton would be a good president or do you think she's just in it for the money like a lot of people?

RUSH: (laughing) So the people that pay me are in it for the money, I'm in it for the money, and Hillary's in it for the money. "The people that pay Rush Limbaugh want Hillary elected." This guy, maybe remembers Operation Chaos and he may be totally confused about what it was, but I doubt that. I just think this is your average, low-information idiot who thinks he knows everything. He doesn't listen here, and he doesn't know what goes on here.

But he reads what is said or broadcast about me, and he thinks that I don't believe what I say, and I'm just in it for the money, and I want Democrats elected so I'll have people to oppose and argue about and conflict, that I don't want my own guys to win -- which is just pure idiocy. It's lunacy. Anyway, so that was Andrew in Rochester. Here is Jennifer Lawless from American University Women and Politics Institute. She's the director. Here's her reaction...

LAWLESS: I think that Rush Limbaugh cannot get anybody elected president. But if we go down the path of assuming that Hillary Clinton is the nominee and then does get elected, she's in a position now where it would be far more lucrative for her not to run for office and not to be president of the United States. She and her husband can both command speaking salaries that far exceed what she would make as president. It's hard to find a candidate, though, with a better resume and more diverse experience than she has.

RUSH: Absolute lunacy all over C-SPAN today. Just total lunacy. I mean, here's this guy who calls and makes it all about money, and so this woman, "Okay, well, I'll deal with this guy on the basis of money, and then say, 'Well, there's no way Hillary could make anywhere near the kind of money being president that she could if she wasn't elected president! She couldn't get paid for speeches and so forth. But if she ran, there's nobody better. No better resume and more diverse experience.'"

How about competence, Jennifer? There isn't any. Benghazi, Hillarycare, the bimbo eruptions? Would somebody explain to me? I've told you, this business with Hillary is not about her competence. It is not about her qualifications. It's about what she is owed for making sure that Clinton survived. It's about paying her back for all of the excrement sandwiches she had to eat while married to that guy while they were in Arkansas and everywhere else during the bimbo eruptions.

During Clinton running around with Monica Lewinsky, she enabled him to stay in office. She enabled him to stay married. She took all of that, and it's her turn -- and it was her turn in 2008, until Obama came along, and then the party powers chose the young black guy over the... uh, over her. She's been a dutiful soldier since then. So now it's her turn, and they tell us she has a "diverse resume" and all of this. What about competence?

I voted for her in Op Chaos.
Didn’t work though, LOL.

Caliph Baraq turned out to be much worse IMHO.

It’s like choosing between Charles Manson and the Devil.

The two are so evil, it’s hard to know which is worse ultimately.

Hillary hates this nation every bit as much.

Everything you and I appreciate about this nation, these two hate with a passion.

" It's hard to find a candidate, though, with a better resume and more diverse experience than she has."

• Married her high school sweetheart to whom she remains married and with whom she is apparently still in love.

• In the harshest of climes, started a small business with him.

• Saw the public schools were not doing a good job in educating her children, joined the local PTA and was so effective there that the people who knew her best – and in small towns like Wasilla there are very few secrets – elected her to be their mayor.

• Mayors of the other small towns and big cities elected her president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors.

• Highly successful as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission

• Ran an uphill battle against entrenched Republican governor; elected to the top position, Governor, of the largest state in the nation.

• 80% approval ratings.

• Selected as Republican 2008 VP candidate in mid-40s.

Sarah Palin is a self-made women with an impressive career who broke into politics without the head start of a powerful husband or father and has a history of being a reformer and taking on powerful interests for the benefit of ordinary people. City council, mayor, Governor, oil and gas commission, VP candidate, already vetted, been scrutinized every way possible and still standing strong. Long list of accomplishments and over 20 years of experience. As Governor Sarah Palin didn’t just cut spending; she saved, reformed, and prioritized like a good fiscal manager. She invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, paid down debt, invested $2.6 billion in an education fund for the future, and funded a Senior Benefits Program to provide support for low-income Alaskan seniors.

In stark contrast to President Obama and other governors whose fiscal records are dogged by credit downgrades, Palin left Alaska with an improved credit rating during and following her tenure as governor. Standard & Poor’s raised Alaska’s credit rating from AA to AA+ in April 2008. Then in 2010, both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s upgraded Alaska to AAA for the first time in the state’s history due to policies enacted by Palin that made the state’s finances more than solvent.

Taking on corruption and crony capitalism has always been a cornerstone of Sarah Palin's agenda; in Alaska she did take on the old-boy network — the oil companies and her own party . As oil and gas commissioner, Sarah Palin called out the unethical practices of members of her own party.As Governor, she sought to end the back room deals and improper relationships between oil companies and politicians.

After the 2008 election Sarah Palin helped lead Republicans to the greatest congressional victory in several generations during the 2010 election with her endorsements and rallies all over the country ;she has endorsed 73 candidates for the US House of Representatives and Senate; state governors and attorney generals. Her success rate is at 69%. 18 out of 20 targets in her Take Back the 20 campaign ; this is a 90% success rate! Sarah Palin also had a very strong hand in the party’s few successes during this election . Sarah Palin campaigned for constitutional conservatives like Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, Paul Gosar, resulting in 5 conservatives being elected to the Senate and 32 conservatives to the House. She has repeatedly been a leading voice against the dangers of ObamaCare and the risks of President Obama’s approach to energy and was the first Republican to make a high-profile critique of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing, though even earlier she had marked the collapsing value of the dollar as one of her issues.

Does anyone really think Slen actually believes a word of what he said here?

These guys are like comedians that have to come up with new material all time or else they are of work.

I offered an apology to every FReeper I’ve been angry at for staying home instead of voting for Romney.

If he’d won, socialist healthcare would be on US, not zero.

Joke’s on you, RATS.

Exactly.

I've long believed that there are a good number of artist-types (a category that includes pretty much every "journalist") who want socialism or communism simply because capitalism doesn't produce enough interesting creative material.

Oh, and they think they're going to get paid for sitting around and doing nothing. That's in there too.

2ndDivVet, I think I also remember you saying you’d be willing to teach us shlubs how to raise money too if she is on the ticket!

Hey, Vet, you gotta smorten up and get with the RiNO candidates who will be presented to you as having "a chance to win". You're like the rest of us daydreamers who want a real conservative -- how childish!

Step right up there, Innovative. The floor is yours. Straighten out all us Main Street, Mugwump, Reaganaut types who know nothing and think we are smort when we are dumm.

Rush needs more money.

The country will be less divided if Hillary is not elected.

ROTFLMAO Some people are so stupid it's beyond measurement.

How do you figure? Or maybe prefer an imperial presidecy to anything else.

You were right in slamming anyone who voted for O instead of Romney.. or anyone else.

Let's all have this discussion in 30 years of a Far to the left republic as we will surely have now and it only stands to get much, much worse.

Hillary is as power mad as Evita Peron and lot less attractive physically.

She will run.

She get nominated.

Whether she is elected or not depends on who the GOP selects and whether or not they can do something they have been substantially remiss in, in the past - run an effective campaign.

I really don't think she hates this country, primarily. Rather, in my opinion, she sees the USA as spoils that she would be entitled to exploit. Like an oyster to crack open and rob, for her and her crony friends.

However, on the other hand, I have no doubt whatsoever that Bath House and his Beard truly hate this country.
