Time Text
And greetings and welcome back.
Nice to have you, folks.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you with us here on the one and only EIB network and Rush Limbaugh, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Up and running at full speed today.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800 282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
If you are just joining us, we've been discussing for the last few minutes the special election today in the second district of Ohio.
The uh incumbent there, Rob Portman, uh, has been plucked by President Bush to be the U.S. trade representative.
It set up this special election today.
And the candidates are the Democrat uh uh what's his name, Hackett?
Uh Paul Hackett, yeah.
Is it Paul?
It's Paul Hackett.
And the uh the Republican is Gene Schmidt.
Now the the only polling data that we can come up with is two weeks old, and I don't know how valid that is, but two weeks ago, internal polling for the uh Schmidt campaign, which was conducted by Zagby, had the Gene Schmidt up 17 points with 20% undecided.
Uh at that point two weeks ago, even if all the undecideds broke for Hackett, that would still put the race at dead even.
And of course, the undecided is never all break for any one candidate.
Uh so again, this is two weeks ago.
If you look at the uh regular voting trends in the second district of Ohio, you would have to conclude that Schmidt uh has a comfortable lead.
However, uh I'm getting anecdotal stories here today now in email that turnout there is a little higher than it was expected.
It was forecast to be 20%.
Uh but there's been a lot of media attention on this.
Now, one of the things we've been focusing on is a Hackett ad.
And folks, I have seen this ad, and we have just posted a link to it at the top of our home page, Rush Limbaugh.com.
Uh and if you click on the ad, you might get through.
It took me a while.
I think we're we're we're putting a load on the server that has the ad, but keep trying, you gotta see it.
We have the audio of the ad.
Hackett is a Democrat, a huge lib Democrat, who has accused President Bush of being the most dangerous person in the world.
He is responsible for all the threats the country faces.
He's on record as saying he doesn't pay enough taxes and wants to pay higher taxes and thinks everybody else should as well.
But yet his his ad and his whole campaign is one of deception.
Now, this is important because the Democrats and the media all over this country, but primarily in Washington, are calling this a bellwether election.
Because they are all saying that if Hackett wins, that uh it will be at the expense of Bush, that Hackett will have beat Bush, and therefore uh the Democrats are really making big gains, even though it may not show up in polling data, because here you have an election in a steady Republican district, and if this guy Hackett, the Democrat wins, it's gonna say to the rest of the country, hey, maybe the Democrats can get the House back.
Now, the thing that is interesting about that is is this ad.
What we have here, folks, is a Democrat who is once again a liberal.
Let's not even say Democrat, he's a but he is, but he is a liberal, and once again, as a caller said not long ago from Ohio.
Paul Hackett is trying to hide his liberalism behind a military uniform.
Stop and think.
When was the last time a Democrats tried that?
When was the last time the Democrats tried to hide their liberalism behind a military uniform?
I think it was named was John Kerry, ladies and gentlemen.
Now I want to attack this notion that this is somehow a bellwether election.
So all of you people in the Democratic Party and all of you people in the media, when you are lying to the voters about who your candidate is, and when your candidate is deceiving people as to what he really thinks and who he really is.
You can't claim this is a bellwether.
If you were being, if this were a bellwether election, you'd have a guy out there regurgitating what Howard Dean is saying.
You'd have A guy out there running against the war, against the war on terror, against Iraq.
You would have a guy doing everything he could to beat Bush up.
Bush is horrible, Bush is rotten.
But instead, you've got a you've got John Kerry Jr. here, 30 years removed.
You've got Paul Hackett back from Iraq and Iraq veteran running an ad to make it look like he is in Bush's right hand back pocket on this war.
This is this is as deceitful as any Democrat ad I've heard.
And it starts out with Bush on camera, and the first words in the commercial are Bush.
How you Democrats can say that this is a bellwether election for your party, I don't understand.
Let me tell you what this really is.
This is more a test of Hillary Clinton and her new deceptions about being a moderate.
Let's just see if a liberal Democrat can win an election in a Republican district lying to the voters.
That's the test here.
If there's anything bellwether about this, it is this question.
Can a liberal Democrat hiding behind a military uniform win in a Republican district while lying and denying his liberalism.
And even his party affiliation.
He doesn't even mention in this ad that he is a Democrat.
So you mean you guys all there at the Democrats and the left in this country.
You can sit there with your fingers crossed and you can think that you're making big gains here, even if you win this, but this is not going to help you at all.
All this is confirming is that you can't run as who you are.
All this is confirming is that you don't have a prayer of winning in this country as you if you run as liberals.
And you want to call this bellwether?
This is the greatest thing that could have happened.
I know some of you in Ohio are a little upset, but do you realize what this means?
This is a testament to the Democrats.
They know where they stand.
They can't win is who they are.
They cannot possibly win elections being liberal in places like Ohio or in this district, so they've got a lie and deceive, which is classic and it's typical.
Run while trying to conceal your true beliefs, hide them from people, and then try to act like you're a big supporter of President Bush's when you've called him an SOB, complain that he's the most dangerous guy in America.
Uh, and and uh said you didn't and by the way, this guy doesn't even think we should have gone to Iraq.
Now he has said since we're there, we better win, and we ought not pull out, but he doesn't think we should have even gone.
But does he say that in the ad?
No, he says we need committed leadership in Washington, as though we don't have committed leadership in Washington.
Well, we do have committed leadership in Washington.
So one more time I want you to listen to the audio of this, understand the first words of President Bush, a liberal Democrat who fails to identify himself as either a liberal or a Democrat is is running this ad, and you can see the video.
We've linked to the website that has it at Rushlinbaugh.com.
The Libs apparently think that this election and uh this district is uh actually a research laboratory.
That this is where they're testing campaign themes and so forth.
Uh research laboratory.
What it's no different than going out and finding George Lakoff rhymes with to try to tell you what to say in order to fool people.
It it what you people, why don't you try being genuine?
Why don't you just, you know, let the chips fall where they may.
Why don't you say hi, I'm Paul Hackett, and I hate this war in Iraq.
I served in it, but I hate this war in Iraq, and I think the man in the White House is an SOB, and I think he's a more dangerous guy than Osama bin Laden or anybody else.
And I don't think that this country is paying enough taxes.
And I don't think the country has a big enough government.
I certainly don't think Ohio does, and I stand for big government, high taxes, and I think Bush is dangerous and the worst guy that's ever led this country.
I'm Paul Hackett vote for me.
Now, if you run that ad and then you win, then we can talk.
But until you run that ad, Dems, till you run that ad and be honest about who you are, instead of running trying to hide behind a military uniform once again, a la John Kerry, and then try to tell us this is a bellwether election, sorry.
You gotta throw away the playbook.
You've got to throw it away.
This is not 1980 where you guys own the show anymore.
You're just not gonna get away with this monopolistic behavior.
But I urge you to keep this up because you're doing a grand job better than I ever could of demonstrating to people just exactly who you are.
And who you aren't.
We'll be back.
And how you don't have any courage.
You don't even have the courage of your own convictions.
It's one thing to send your Democratic National Committee chairman out there to rave like a lunatic, but when it comes time to running for office, we don't hear any of his words in Any campaign.
We don't hear one vestige of Howard Dean in any Democrat campaign.
We hear liberal Democrats trying to pass themselves off as hawks on the military.
And believe me, people know that you are not hawks on the military.
The only way you can do this is to by denying that you are liberal or democrat in your own ad.
So we'll keep a sharp eye on this and uh we learn anything more about it before the uh program concludes today.
We'll pass whatever we learn on to you.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Hi, welcome back.
Back to the phones we go now.
Let's go to Orlando.
This is Bill.
Great uh to have you with us, sir.
Thank you.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Hi, Megadados.
I have a question for you.
The guy that's uh running in Ohio.
I'm in the car and I was listening to the sound bite, and he mentions in the sound bite that he uh wants to help the people over in Iraq, and uh he went over to Iraq and served there and it was in his heart, but he's against us ever going to begin with.
Yeah, but he doesn't say that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
He doesn't say that in the ad.
So it doesn't matter what the ad says to analyze what the ads, the ad's a lie.
You know, to start asking what does he mean by this, and what's he gonna do?
What he's trying to do is fool people.
Oh, agreed, agreed.
But he says in the ad that he wants to go over and help the people, we should stay there, we should help the people, but he's on record saying he disagrees with the president of us ever going over there.
Well, how do you help the people if you never go?
Uh exactly.
Exactly.
But yet go.
Well, you he th y you just I mean you're you you're illustrating here the deceit that uh makes up this whole campaign and uh and the whole and the whole ad.
So, you know, I to get into a parsing of it is uh, you know, is not the point.
You know, that's that's getting into process, missing the big picture.
The big picture here is he got another liberal democrat trying to hide behind a military uniform and fool people and thinking he's a hawk when he's just the exact opposite.
And the liberal media, and don't underestimate folks, uh you may think I'm beating a dead horse here.
I'm not.
They don't care about Hackett as an individual at all.
The Democrats and the media, prime primarily in Washington, are looking at this election, think and they're calling it a bellwether, because they they looking at this as a referendum against George W. Bush, and that's why this guy's ad's been put together the way it is.
And so they're they're but the the point is it's nothing like a bellwether because you don't have an honest campaign going on here.
All you have is the Democrats admitting that they cannot possibly win elections being who they really are.
It's just not possible.
And that's the story.
That's what they're admitting.
And why the media and the Democrats would want to once again attach themselves to this is amazing because this is not going to give them any credibility once they tout a phony, fraudulent campaign, if it is uh victorious uh tonight, uh, as meaning anything, it won't mean anything other than you can get away with lying to people.
Uh but I'll guarantee if this guy does win, some of you people have already voted in this district today, and you're only now learning about the guy, if that's possible.
How many of you regret your vote now?
If you voted for the guy under false premises, I have no clue what the number is.
But, you know, I I'll tell you what this is to me, as I just said.
This is more a referendum on can Hillary Clinton pulled off the same kind of stunt on the national level.
Because this guy's just doing a little minir minute miniature version of what Hillary's trying to pull off.
It's it's it's identical.
It's the same thing.
Hillary's trying to pass herself off as somebody that's not pro-abortion.
She's trying to pass herself off as somebody who's moderate and centrist and maybe even conservative on some things.
It's just not the case.
Whatever you whatever you take away from this, it it has to be this.
They can't be honest about who they are.
And I'm just telling you folks that they may win an election here in some district there, they might win a Senate seat over there, but they're not gonna build a national movement lying to people.
They're not gonna inspire anybody lying to people.
They can't go anywhere deceiving people anymore.
They can't gain power and then wield it, deceiving people like they used to.
It just isn't gonna work.
And you certainly you don't recapture the losses that they've had doing it this way.
I mean, this is this is uh this this whole that ad, That whole campaign is so at odds with what every public Democrat has been saying for the last six years, five years, that it's striking.
Here's uh Kimberly in Dayton.
Nice to have you uh on the program.
Welcome.
Thank you for taking my call.
Um, I'd like to make some comments about what you're saying about Hillary.
I I understand what you're saying.
We very clearly know what she's doing, but but I really think that you guys are seriously underestimating the influence of the feminist power.
For the last eight, well, for eight years that Clinton was in the White House, they were lauded.
Our school textbooks have in, if you read them, it says that has Clinton as he's done these wonderful remarkable things.
They devalue and discredit Reagan, and that is what these kids are learning.
And these kids are coming up to vote.
There is only one surefire way to keep Hillary out of the White House, and that is through the women.
The women have got to be organized.
They've got to know what their heritage really is.
They've got to know what the truth really is.
And hopefully for America.com can do it.
If they will get on there and rally, we can keep that woman out of the White House for sure.
Uh I I have no doubt that that can happen.
That's my whole point.
I I'm not underestimating Mrs. Clinton.
Well, we've got to reach them.
Well, we will.
It's it's gonna be three years.
Give it, give it time.
I wait.
Let me tell you something.
If we start bashing Hillary Clinton on a regular basis right now, we're gonna wear people out.
It's like talking about John or uh uh Judge Roberts uh right now, but the the hearings don't start till September the 6th.
You know, keep the powder dry.
Don't wear people out.
Let the Democrats do that.
But I'm I'm I'm telling you, you're you're misinterpreting something here.
I'm not underestimating.
I'm just telling you, I'm not afraid of her.
You sound scared to death of her, Kimberly, and I'm not.
And and I'm I'm she doesn't scare me.
She doesn't frighten me.
She puts her pants on one leg at a time like every other guy does.
And she's not gonna sit out and intimidate me or anybody else just because she's named Hillary Clinton.
Now, try to try to get a grip here.
You know, the feminists are not a majority.
The feminists cannot elect anybody in and of themselves.
They just can't.
And it's not they're not going to be able to do that three years from now.
But try not to worry.
By the way, folks, another great example here.
When I make a joke about liberal democrats, it actually comes true.
What did I say about one hour ago, Mr. Snerdley, when talking about the turnout in this election in Ohio being 20%?
That was what the forecast was.
I said, gonna be kind of hard to claim voter fraud, right?
Paul Hackett campaign worried about election fraud.
This is from the July 24th Hamilton Journal News.
Now, I this I just now saw this.
It is a sad and depressing commentary on the state of our democracy that David Woodruff, campaign manager for candidate Paul Hackett, is worried sick about obtaining an honest accurate vote count.
Woodruff is convinced a scrupulously accurate vote count will give his candidate a majority in the balloting and send him to Congress.
Uh this is from Ohio Honestelections.org, but it actually comes from the July 24th Hamilton Journal News, uh story written by Bill Renschler.
So, and by the way, they're already setting up voter fraud possibilities in Ohio.
Once again, they don't trust you, the voters.
They don't want to trust you, the voters.
If he doesn't win the election, they're gonna charge vote fraud, they're gonna demand a recount or what have you.
Combine that with a totally dishonest, deceitful campaign.
Combine that with another liberal hiding behind a military uniform.
Combine that with not having the guts to be honest about your party affiliation or your ideology trying to win an election.
Folks, these people are on the run like I have never seen them on the run.
Hi, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Uh Rush Limboy executing his signed host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
I want to go back to this uh story here.
Paul Hackett campaign worried about election fraud.
This is from the July 24th Hamilton Journal News by Bill Renchler.
Now, if we go back, I just shared with you that we have uh the most recent polling data is from two weeks ago.
It's the internal polling data from the Schmidt campaign.
Schmidt, the Republican candidate here running against this fraud hackett.
He won't even admit that he's a Democrat.
Now the Zogby people did the polling, the internal polling for the Schmidt campaign two weeks ago, two weeks ago, the Zogby internal polling unit had him up 17 points, had Schmidt up 17 points with 20% undecided.
They looked at the numbers, and if all 20% undecided broke for the fraud, Hackett, it would just move the race dead even.
And the undeciders never break all the way in one way or one direction or the other.
I find it interesting that uh one week after that polling unit, uh can't and I don't think it made this news published.
This is internal polling, so it wasn't public, but you know the Hackett campaign's doing its own internal polling.
I find it interesting that one week ago, all of a sudden, here comes this voting front, voting for voting front.
The typical claim from a bunch of losers who want to establish at the get-go here that when they lose that there had to be some fraud involved.
I just find the timing extremely suspicious on that.
Frank in San Diego.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hey Rush, uh, thanks for taking my call.
Uh, Megadiddos from San Diego.
Uh, sir.
Been a listener from the beginning.
Uh my my point, uh, I think you've made this point a couple of times is I don't know what Hackett or any of the Democrats are doing.
They keep uh uh running against Bush.
I mean, did they not get it?
It's a two-term presidency.
Bush is out in three years.
They need to be running against or not running against anything, but standing up for what they say they believe, and all they keep doing is running against Bush.
I totally agree.
I I it's like Bush is not on the ballot anymore, and yet they keep running against him as though he's enemy number one.
But the the difference here, though, Frank, is this Hackett guy's not running against Bush in his ads and his campaign.
He's trying to make himself out to be the biggest buddy Bush has got when it comes to the war on Iraq.
That's the whole point here.
He disagrees totally with Bush on this war, doesn't think we should have ever gone.
I keep repeating this, but it's true.
He has said that Bush is the most dangerous man in America in the world, causing all these terrorist incidents.
Called him an SOB, blah, blah, blah, blah, and a USA Today ad.
Yet running this ad like he and Bush are boos and buddies when it comes to Iraq.
The whole thing is a is uh is a patented fraud.
Bethany in Cincinnati.
Welcome to the program.
Mega Birkenstock horrendous rush.
Thank you very much.
Um, I just I was watching the I I think it was Channel 9 Cincinnati last night.
I'm not exactly sure the channel.
Um, but they had a microphone in Paul Hackett's face, and he said from day one he did not support the war in Iraq.
And I'm not even sure why he bothered to sign back up and go over because to me, he doesn't deserve to be in Washington if he's not supporting Bush.
Well and I did vote this morning for Gene Schmidt, so see, now he has said that uh he doesn't think we should have ever gone, but now that we're there, we ought to finish the job.
So I don't know if I don't know if he contradicted himself uh last night.
What again did he say?
He said that he said that he said he never supported going into Iraq from day one.
And I I guess that my thinking is that he's not supporting Iraq.
He's not going to support future efforts military efforts.
Well, he's not saying that on his ad, and that's not what his campaign is out there actively saying.
Uh he does say this outside the campaign, says this to USA Today, says this to uh, you know, national media, but but he's uh he is somewhat apparently uh somewhat highly contradictory.
But I have to I have to tell you, folks, somebody high up in a Democratic Party's tutoring this guy.
Some Democrats somewhere, some Lib is tutoring this guy on how to be fraudulent and deceptive.
He may have a liberal, he may come by it naturally.
I have to have to grant that possibility.
Was Carville out there?
Carville was out there campaign.
So Max Max Cleeland was out there camping.
Well, now uh Cleland's uniform didn't help him in his re-election either.
Uh back in uh what was it, 2000 uh two.
Uh so plot sickens, James Carville.
Advertising assistance uh to Paul Hackett.
By the way, folks, I don't glenn was there.
John John Glenn was helping them.
Well, So we do have a high ranking Democrat help, and so we know that the strategy from the highest levels of the Democratic Party is deceit.
Lies and deceit.
You would think after Kerry that they would learn you can't win hiding behind a military uniform when you're lib.
Uh but but they're uh trying I guess they do not think Kerry was the wrong guy.
This guy Hackett's the right guy.
Well, whatever.
We shall um we shall soon see.
Uh one of the uh one of the interesting notes uh uh about this again, folks.
Uh and if you haven't you've got to just see the ad.
I mean rather than describe this, and we've got it linked on our website, and and uh to avoid any uh if you've had any problems getting into it because of the server being overloaded, we put it on our own servers so we can handle a load.
So if you just go to Rushlinbaugh.com, it's it's very near the top of our homepage.
Uh simply says hack it ad.
Click here to watch or something like that, and uh and you'll see it.
And it's you know, uh you would you would think this guy's uh you know, f you know me.
I mean, you'd think this guy's a conservative Republican in this race.
John in Mobile, Alabama.
Hi, and welcome to the program.
Thank you, sir.
Um, I wanted to uh bring up a point I I talked to your screener about that I agree with you completely that it's it's falsehood how he's actually running his campaign for the for that ad, you know, talking about how he's in the military, but not listing anything of what he stands for.
Yeah.
But I actually do have a problem with the fact that it should make a difference whether, you know, if he's a Republican or a Democrat that he's actually placing that in his ads.
Uh I don't care about that either.
Mm let me let me state it once again.
Do not forget what all is intertwined here.
There are a lot of deceptive tentacles that are woven deep into the fabric of this campaign.
And one of them is that the media and the Democrats are saying this is a bellwether election.
They are saying that if this guy wins, Bush loses.
They were saying if this guy wins, a Democrat can win in a heavily Republican district.
I'm sorry if your candidate will not identify himself as a Democrat.
And in fact, if your candidate goes out of the way to deceive people into thinking he's not a Democrat and deceive them in other ways, then you can't come back and tell us that this is a bellwether election, because you didn't run as a Democrat.
You didn't run a guy who said proudly, I'm a Democrat, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever else he wants to say.
So he can run a run an ad.
I don't care what he says in his ad in terms of party ID, but don't tell me, don't insult my intelligence by telling me that this is a bellwether election.
I'm telling you, folks, the closer analogy here is that this will be a test to see if Mrs. Clinton can pull off the same thing on uh on the national uh level.
Clark in Houston.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rush.
It's an absolute uh pleasure and uh honor to speak with you today.
Thank you, sir.
Well, sir, uh as an active duty uh Navy lieutenant, I've had the opportunity to uh work side by side with many Marines, and I I tell you, if all this is true, this is about as inconsistent as you can get with the ideals that are upheld by the Marine Corps, and I'd like to hear from anyone that has served with this guy to see what kind of Marine he was.
Well, that I don't know.
The only thing I've heard is that he was in the oh, let me find it.
Civilian affairs unit.
And this is um a Washington Post story says here from July 30th, a lawyer and a major in the Marine Reserves.
Hackett volunteered last year to serve in Iraq and spent seven months there in a civilian affairs job, including service around Ramadi and Fallujah.
He returned to Ohio in March, decided to jump into the race for Portman seat, seeking to become the first Iraq war veteran elected to Congress.
So uh serving a volunteer to serve, spent seven months in a civilian affairs job.
What what is that since you've uh uh are you in did you say you're Marine?
I'm I'm a Navy, sir.
Navy uh what is civilian affairs job?
You tell me.
Civilian affairs is just basically it's a public affairs uh job where they interact with uh the civilian authorities uh from a military perspective.
It's a military liaison, if you will.
Oh, military it's a military liaison.
So is it a combat position or not?
Uh negative.
That is not a combat position.
Okay.
Well, I didn't I just can't get over how much you know, Marines from day one, whether reserves or active duty are taught to uphold the the ideals of honor and courage and commitment, and uh not to mention the way he was uh so disrespectful to someone who was very recently his commander in chief.
You mean by calling him an SOB?
Yes.
Well, he's out now.
He can do whatever he wants.
Wants a Marine always, isn't that what they gosh?
That doesn't mean uh all those things that you learned.
Uh those things are supposed to stay with you, and it doesn't seem like he never either had them in the first place or he's not being you know true and and uh have any integrity like you've already mentioned.
Whatever is the the the the okay, call him a staff puke.
Uh uh if if if if that's what you want, but uh uh civilian affairs staff puke.
Bottom line is running a fraudulent deceptive campaign.
And the Democrats are saying this is a bellwether election.
We've got two instances of huge fraud being perpetrated here, and I'm bound to determine they're not gonna get away with this.
I don't whether the guy wins or not, they're not gonna get away with misportraying the results of this when the whole campaign's been one of total fraud and lying and deceit, fooling people.
Anyway, appreciate the call out there, Clark.
We gotta go.
We'll be back in uh mere moment.
Stay with us.
All right, we've learned a couple other things.
This uh Paul Hackett is a trial lawyer, folks.
He's a personal injury lawyer like John Edwards.
And it appears that uh, you know, he goes to Iraq to pad the resume, come back and run as a as a as a big supporter of the war, or at least finishing the project over there.
I you know, for for all of you listening to the DNC and uh other Democrat organizations around the country, I'm gonna give you the truth on this based on this guy's campaign and his ad.
The Republicans win whatever happens in this election.
If Schmidt wins the election, of course, then Schmidt wins, and it's a big Republican victory.
But if Hackett wins, the Republicans still win because Hackett's running is a Republican.
Hackett's running is a hawk.
Hackett's running is the best friend to George W. Bush.
There is no way that you Democrats can say that this is a bellwether election anti-bush if this guy Hackett wins because he's trying to make everybody believe that he's Bush's biggest pal and biggest supporter.
I am ashamed of you, Democrats.
I'm also disappointed.
I would think after a certain number of years here, you would learn you can't get away with the old playbook anymore.
But you just keep beating your heads against the wall like the stubborn, obstinate buffoons that you look like you are.
Who's next on this program?
Uh Mike in Morristown, Tennessee.
Hi, welcome to the program.
Hello, Rush.
Um, I just wanted to say I think that you're giving the Democrats an out on this uh election that you're going to be getting the blame uh not their failed campaign if the if Hackett loses, because you've talked about it, and I think the uh turnout will be over 20%.
Uh that's not an out.
I mean if they want to blame me for his loss, I'll take the credit.
But the thing is they would blame me anyway.
They blame me or people like me for for uh for Hackett losing, poisoning the minds of the electorate uh or whatever.
Uh but you know, if if they try to say, well, uh this election was going our guy's way to Limbaugh got involved in this, we would have won other than that.
Uh I'm gonna be around uh next couple elections and beyond that, so uh they gotta stop using me as an excuse too.
They gotta stop blaming everybody but themselves.
That's the one thing that they will not do, start examining their own image and the behavior.
I don't I still don't think they have any idea how they appear to people.
I I I really don't.
I don't think they uh have any idea how they come across.
Uh and speaking of this voter fraud issue, uh that Hackett was moaning and uh crying about last week, or back on July 24th.
Here's a uh story once again from the uh PR News wire, U.S. Newswire.
Uh in a uh release uh today, the American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund identifies Philadelphia as the number one election fraud hot spot in America.
The report, Vote Fraud, Intimidation and Suppression in the 2004 Presidential Race is the most comprehensive and authoritative review of the facts surrounding allegations of vote fraud.
The summary of the fine did Republicans win anything in Philadelphia.
Republican volunteers violently intimidated uh uh union members who assaulted the volunteers.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wah, whoa.
Oh, I have misunderstood this.
This is a report on how it's the Democrats who participate in the biggest vote fraud in the country in Philadelphia.
It's how the Democrats intimidated Republicans.
And this is what that the reason I was going to bring this up to you.
This is what Santorum's up against.
You know, Santorum's elections coming up next year in uh in all of Pennsylvania to be re-elected from the Senate there to the Senate.
And this is what he's up against, and that if you want to talk vote fraud, uh this survey says it's happening in Philadelphia.
Biggest vote fraud area of the country.
And uh the fraud there permitted and and not permitted, but uh uh uh committed by uh Democrats.
So anyway, that's uh that's about all the time we have for this here, folks, because we've got to take our break here and soon come back to close out the uh the program.
Once again, you can see this ad at rushlimbaugh.com.
And when you watch this ad, remember this is a liberal Democrat opponent of going to Iraq in the first place.
Call Bush and SOB, says that Bush is uh the the most dangerous guy in the in the in the in the world.
He's poses a bigger threat than any terrorist does, uh, believes in higher taxes and bigger government, but you won't see any of that in the ad.
Uh in fact, you'll watching uh you'll think as you watch the ad that you're watching uh commercial for the Republican in the race.
The Republican's Gene Schmidt.
Uh the Democrat who will not admit it is Paul Hackett.
Not to be confused with the offensive coordinator of several National Football League teams.
Kansas City Chiefs, uh, New York Jets, uh, also had a guy named Paul Hackett's not the same guy.
This is a personal injury trial lawyer uh in the mold of uh of John Edwards, the Breck girl, uh, who is trying to hide once again his liberalism behind a military uniform.
You would think they would learn.
All right, folks, that's it.
Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence, three hours worth, unlike any you can find anywhere else now in the can.
Soon to be over at the Museum of Broadcasting, the Limbaugh Wing, and we'll be back tomorrow, though, do it all over again and talk about whatever happens between now and then.
