Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
I'd like to open the program today with uh a brief set of remarks, ladies and gentlemen.
Ask not what the Democrats have to do to win the red states.
Ask what the Democrats have to do to hold the blue states, because Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are creating Reagan Democrats by the gazillions.
Joe Lieberman recognizes it.
And the Washington Post beginning to recognize it.
A headline today, Democrats fear backlash at polls for anti-war remarks.
Folks, it's gotten so bad that the TV show Commander in Chief is not even in a top 20 anymore.
The ratings are plummeting there.
That's that show with Gina Davis as the first female president, obviously portraying the role of Hillary as uh president, but the numbers are plummeting.
Show not even in the top 20, according to the latest Neaglons.
Greetings.
Great to be with you, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today is uh 800-282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
When your basic argument, when your basic argument is that Bush lied about the war, the first thing that you do is create a political stunt to uh distract the public and embarrass your enemies.
Dingy Harry was the first to do this.
Saddam Hussein was the second to do this.
Dingy Harry shut down the Senate as a petulant little teenager might if he wasn't chosen to be on the first team in the afternoon softball game.
Saddam Hussein shut down his trial today, saying he's not going to dignify this trial in this courtroom with his appearance.
So Saddam continues to take lessons from the Democrats, ladies and gentlemen, is how to conduct his trial.
House Democrat Caucus today was gathering at 9 o'clock this morning.
A closed door debate about its positions on Iraq.
They are applauding.
I keep telling you this.
I know you have little faith, some of you, some of you remain strong and confident.
But the Democrats, any time you have to retreat to behind closed doors to come up with your positions, you are in a heap big doo-doo.
Uh I wouldn't have to go behind closed doors at all to tell anybody what I thought or to get into discussion with anybody else about what I thought, not on such a simple core value as this.
The Democratic leadership, including Representative Bob Menendez from New Jersey, will meet the press, or did meet the press at 10 o'clock, but I didn't see much about it.
Jack Mertha will be responsible for responding to the president's speech on behalf of House Democrats.
That'll happen at 1.30 today.
And Senate Democrats will rely upon Senator Jack Reed.
Democrat from Rhode Island without John Kerry this time for their rebuttal of the president's speech this morning at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Senate uh Senator Reed um speaking at uh at noon, but nobody's carrying it.
Nobody's carrying what he says.
I mean, the the media knows the Democrats are simply embarrassing themselves now.
Uh and they're trying to figure it out.
If they've they they peaked too soon, everything that they just had it in their grasp, they just knew it.
And now the White House is fighting back the White House making speeches.
When you go to the Council on Foreign Relations, if you're a Republican president and you go to the Council on Foreign Relations to make a speech, you may as well be going to the headquarters of the mainstream media and the Democrat National Committee, because that's who's the membership.
And uh for the most part, I mean there's it's a left-wing think tank is basically what it is, but uh Bush went to Bell and the Beast, didn't get a whole lot of applause, got a smattering now and then, but nevertheless fired right back at him and also responded to Howard Dean, not by name.
What has happened here?
Hillary's triangulation is not working.
The Democrats' strategy is undermining their 2008 putative nominee, which is Hillary, because the likes of Harry Reid and Kerry and Pelosi and Mertha have lurched so far to the left that they've left Hillary behind, and now she's having to fend off the kooks everywhere she goes because all these other people are placating the kooks.
They're satisfying the kooks, but Hillary's not saying the right things satisfy the kooks.
So the kooks are showing up to harass her.
Let's go to the audio tape because something happened yesterday afternoon around five o'clock that we just enjoyed immensely here and had some laughs over.
CNN, the situation room, Wolf Blitzer interviewing RNC Chairman Ken Melman.
Wolf said, What is your response to what John Kerry is saying?
In fact, let's let's go to let's play number two first, because that's what this is all bouncing off of.
We started all this ourselves on this program on Monday.
Nobody commented on this.
Carrie was on Slay the Nation on Sunday.
Nobody watches that show.
He made this outrageous statement.
Bob Schiefer just sat there, absorbing it all, let it all go by.
I was outraged.
We played this soundbite a number of times on Monday, had some comments, and uh after after playing this bite, uh, Melman was asked what he thought of it.
This is what Kerry said.
There is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, uh uh uh, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the uh uh of of uh historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not.
Iraqis should be doing that.
Terrorizing women and children.
We've got a picture we're gonna put up on the website today of such an act.
Uh, an American soldier terrorizing an Iraqi child, actually holding the child and feeding it milk from a uh from a bottle.
This is this is what our troops are doing.
This is characterized as terrorizing by Senator Kerry.
So Wolf Blitzer said to Ken Melman, what's your response to this?
Kerry was on Face the Nation this past weekend, and he talked about American troops terrorizing Iraqi people going into Iraqis homes.
I thought that was an incredibly irresponsible comment.
I thought that Nancy Pelosi's echoing the retreat and defeat strategy that was laid out earlier was also wrong.
I think Democrats all around the country need to be stand up and be counted.
And then in the midst of all this, Wolf Blitzer, uh, after this interview, reported this.
Getting a quick reaction to my interview only within the past few minutes with the chairman of the Republican Party, Ken Melman, who took a strong swipe at John Kerry for comments he made on Face the Nation with Bob Schiefer this past Sunday.
Uh uh David uh Wade, a spokesman for John Kerry, just sent us over a statement saying Ken Melman's filthy and shameful lie about a decorated combat veteran is disgraceful political hack.
Ken Melman and draft dodging donut eating Rush Limba have something in common.
Neither of them know anything about how to make American troops safe.
John Kerry will continue to speak out about how to succeed in Iraq and protect brave American troops.
Senator Kerry, let me just tell you right now, I don't eat donuts.
I eat Boston cream puffs.
Most of the time I spit them out.
They taste too much like ketchup to me.
Folks, he can't even respond.
He can't even defend his own words.
This is typical of where the Democrats are.
The Democrats can't defend their positions.
Kerry is just an arrogant elitist.
He basically expects to get away with saying whatever he says.
Whatever he says, we're supposed to sit down and marvel at the brilliance and how far ahead of the curve John Kerry is.
He shouldn't be made to defend his words.
Well, who do we see?
Who do we think we are?
We're nothing but a bunch of common plebes.
And for us to dare question John Kerry, why who the hell do we think we are?
This Boston Brahmin stands high above everyone else in his own mind alone.
What's happened here?
This comment has basically taken him out of the running for the 08 nomination.
If he ever was in it in the first place, this nomination is now his or not his at all.
Hillary probably loves me for doing this because it's focused as nobody else was talking about this until we brought it up here on this program on Monday.
Furthermore, I think it's Christmas time, and folks, I'm a person, I get into this holiday season.
Good cheer for everybody.
I want to spread the good vibes.
I love this time of year.
And of course, we all know that giving is the real essence of this of this Christmas season.
So I have been thinking about a gift that I might assemble and give to various people called the John Kerry Swift Boat Gift Basket.
Put some Boston cream puffs in there, a little miniature bottle of ketchup, like you get when you go to a restaurant.
They have little ketchup bottles on the table.
Make sure it's Heinz Ketchup.
Put some exploding rice pudding in there, some surrender fries, a do-it-yourself Botox kit, and 40 types of hairspray.
Even throw in some Euros.
Go out, throw and get $10 worth of euros just to make people Who get the John Kerry Swift boat gift basket feel at home?
So they can use the currency of his favorite part of the world.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
We'll continue in just a moment.
Stay with us.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Great to be with you, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity, executing a signed.
Because I do the assigning.
Host duties flawlessly.
Sherry Holiday sees it here with Mannheim Steamroller.
We got a little George Winston, by the way.
The um that is a great CD.
George Winston solo pianist uh December is the title of the uh CD.
And some of that is also in our bumper rotation here.
I want to go back to this Wolf Blitzer bit again, this carry statement from David Wayne.
I want you to stop and think about it now.
This is a guy who ran for president last year.
This is a guy who wanted to be president of the United States.
This is how he deals with critics.
What's he gonna do to terrorists?
What's he gonna say?
Is this what they teach you when you go to the debate society at Yale or Harvard, wherever it was he went.
Don't defend what you say.
Don't don't explain what you said.
Don't tell anybody how how your critics are wrong.
Just go out and make some little.
This is sixth grade level.
Donut-eating draft dodger.
I mean, this is an honor to be called a donut-eating draft dodger.
I'm moving up with these people, used to be right-wing extremists.
Getting a quick reaction to my interview only within the past few minutes with the chairman of the Republican Party, Ken Melman, who took a strong swipe at John Kerry for comments he made on Face the Nation with Bob Schiefer this past Sunday.
Uh uh David uh Wade, a spokesman for John Kerry just sent us over a statement saying Ken Melman's filthy and shameful lie about a decorated combat veteran is disgraceful political hack.
Ken Melman and draft dodging, donut eating, Rush Limba have something in common.
Draft dodging, donut eating, Russia and bought.
You notice here he says decorated combat.
Throw that back in there.
Decorated comedy.
He's learned nothing from what happened to him last year.
He's just one of these arrogant, condescending elitists who thinks that he's allowed to say whatever he wants to say, but nobody has the right to challenge him.
But anybody who does, why who do they think?
I don't have to dignify these people with a response.
I'll just use what they taught me at Yale.
Donut-eating draft dodger.
At any rate, this I think symbolizes the problem that the Democrats have.
And if you watched any cable TV last night, you began to see it.
You began to see the media at all of all those hand clapping and cheering on they've been doing.
They started back in track, backtracking.
They started getting a little nervous about things because this isn't playing the way they had hoped it was going to play.
This from from the Patrick Fitzgerald indictment on.
This just has not gone the way they thought of it.
Gas prices have not stayed up.
All of these things that they had counted on are fizzling right before their very eyes.
And they can't help but write it about it today in the Washington Post.
Jim Vanden Hay and Shillag Murray.
Democrats fear backlash at polls for anti-war remarks.
So the Democrats are withdrawing.
Now, this is not what John Murphy had in mind, but they are withdrawing.
They're retreating from their position at this closed door meeting this morning to figure out, gee, what do we believe?
Which is really not a meeting about what do we believe.
It's a meeting, all right, what do we do now?
What do we say now?
Strong anti-war comments in recent days by minority leader uh Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have opened a new party rift.
And among the Democratic Party over Iraq, some lawmakers warning that the leader's rhetorical blasts could harm efforts to win control of Congress next year.
Now it's important for you leftist kooks to hear this.
Because this is what you want to hear.
In fact, I I had some people send me some emails last night.
Rush, you got to go to this site and this site and this site because these kooks love carries fire back at you.
They think this is a sign that Carrie's finally getting tough.
This is the kind of talk we need.
This is what we we don't need any yellow-bellied Liguini-spine Democrats anymore.
We need people to take it to them.
Draft dodging donut eater got him excited.
That exemplifies the problem.
They have no plan.
They have no idea.
Their idea for folks, they can't go anywhere with this.
The idea that they have for victory is simply criticism of the opposition in an in a in a puerile and infantile way.
And it's it's a it's a i i they have no positive agenda to advance.
They have nothing that they believe in that they advance, that they're willing to advance.
And it's the idea that that the carry's response to Melman and me is something to get them all fired up is exactly what's going to take them down the tubes because they're going to feel the pressure more and more to respond to these people.
It's just like like I pointed out earlier.
The Democrats' strategy is undermining their putative nominee, which is Hillary, because you've got Reed and Pelosi and Carrie and Mertha who have gone off the edge of the earth on the left hand side of it, as left Hillary exposed, and she's behind.
Now she's the one having to fend off the kooks.
She's the one being protested wherever she goes.
Several Democrats joined President Bush yesterday in rebuking Howard Dean's declaration to WOAI Radio EIB affiliate San Antonio that quote the idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong.
This is why Democrats cannot be trusted with the national security of this country.
What do you mean we can't win?
We're the United States of America.
We don't lose unless we sabotage ourselves.
Nobody can beat us.
Nobody ever has beat us.
We do not lose.
But here's Howard Dean and half the Democratic Party and all of the fringe base wanting us to lose.
They're invested in defeat.
For who knows what Kakamami reasons.
They either think we're guilty, we're evil, we deserve it, we are terrorizing, we are scaring people around the world with our might.
We deserve to be cut down.
We deserve to be brought down to size.
We deserve to be shown how the other people of the world feel when we're around.
We deserve it, we deserve it.
We just They have no concept of American exceptionalism.
They don't believe in the greatness of this country.
They don't believe in the potential.
They don't believe in the great history.
They believe in nothing that's great about this country.
They only see the negatives because these people are essentially self-loathing.
They don't like themselves, they are unhappy, they are miserable, and because they live in the most prosperous country in the world and are more than more than anything abject failures, they rather than blame themselves, they blame everybody else.
They blame prosperity and those who've achieved it.
They blame power, they blame strength because they have none.
So it's a self-loathing bunch that has taken over the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
The whole concept of American exceptionalism is something that they, if consider, reject out of hand, but more than likely it probably doesn't even strike them that there's anything exceptional about this country because they're so obsessed with the negatives.
We pollute, we destroy, we uh we we we kill, we maim, all of these things that make them up.
They're never happy, they're never joyful, they never smile, they don't want to be joyful, they feel guilty if they feel joy, they feel guilty if they smile, they feel guilty if they're happy.
They are perpetually miserable, and I cannot imagine what it's like to wake up and be them each and every day.
But now they have infected the top ranks of the elected Democratic Party in Washington, to the point now that the kooks of these attitudes I just described are forcing this kind of behavior and this kind of language out of the leaders.
And this has caused an emergency meeting in Washington to take place.
The president's out there today quoting Joel Lieberman, the Democrats cringe.
I hate that.
They don't understand why Lieberman would do this.
Because they can't conceive of doing the right thing.
The right thing to them is destroying Bush and getting out of Iraq and bringing the troops home and weakening this country's future.
That's the right thing.
They have no cut.
It's all with the right thing is always oriented around them.
Everything's about them.
They are s there's they're they're they're there's so much time on their hands, they have all this time to think about their own feelings and how miserable they are and how unhappy they are and what it would take to make them happy.
They're incapable of having lives that are fulfilling and worthwhile simply by virtue of the choices they make.
No success would make them happy.
Well, I say that prematurely.
They haven't had any, so how would they know?
But all these Democrats joining with President Bush yesterday, and you could see this causing some nervous twitches last night on cable TV.
All these Democrats rebuking Howard Dean's declaration that we can't win.
The critics said that comment could reinforce popular perceptions that the party's weak on military matters and divert attention from the president's growing political problems on the war and other issues.
Yes, and the right word is re-inforce.
The critic said the comment could reinforce popular perceptions the party is weak.
Because that is the perception.
It's an accurate perception.
The Democrats have made it so.
And comments like Dean's just remind everybody.
Democratic congressional campaign committee chairman Rom Emanuel and Stenny Hoyer of Maryland, second ranking House Democrat leader, have told colleagues Pelosi's recent endorsement of a speedy withdrawal could backfire on the party.
And uh same alarm was sounded by Obama Bobama out of Senator from uh Illinois yesterday in the Chicago Tribune.
All is not well in paradise, folks.
That's a um secret recording from the Boston Townhouse of John Kerry.
The very mention of my name.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you back, serving humanity.
El Rushmo every day.
Christmas morning for listeners on the EIB network.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Here's Robert in Franklin Lake, New Jersey.
Hi, Robert, you're up first today.
How are you doing, Rush?
Yeah, what you're doing is you're misrepresenting what he said.
He did not say our soldiers were terrorists.
He said they were terrorizing.
And there is a difference between the two.
Terrorizing is like kicking doors down, dragging parents out in front of the kids.
That's terrorizing kids.
Terrorists blow people up, kill people in order to terrorize them.
Well, no, that's what they've said.
I've heard Democrats accuse us of doing that too.
Okay, killing innocent women and children and so forth.
Everybody knows what he meant when he said you don't use that word indiscriminately in the war on terror.
I agree.
I agree with you.
You don't do that when you run around and excuse American troops of terrorizing women and children.
It has us, it has a specific meaning.
If you put it all in context with everything the Democrats have been saying about the military, about our troops, if you put it in contact with Kerry back in 1971, when he came back and accused Vietnam veterans of atrocities he never saw, he never witnessed, and goes in front of the Senate in April of 1970 when we know who the guy is.
We know who he is, and we know when what comes out of his mouth and what it means, even before he does.
Can I respond?
Sure.
Yeah.
I agree with you that he shouldn't be using those words, because then you have people like you who just run with those words and turn it around and say how the biggest.
This is where you guys are this where you guys are missing the point.
You you know, I I love the fact you're focused on me.
It is a great career achievement.
It's uh it's a career achievement that I get under your skin and carry skin and Hillary and Bill's and all the rest of them.
But here you are saying he shouldn't use the word terrorizing Iraqi women and kids because I am going to react to it.
How about because it's wrong?
How about because it is wrong and it's demoralizing and it's a flat out lie?
How about that being the reason he shouldn't say it?
Instead of what his critics are gonna say.
You are just giving me all kinds of oh no, you're giving limb all this ammo.
Why am I having ammo?
I can't make chicken salad out of chicken bleep.
It's true.
That's why it's it's bad ammo for me.
He stepped in it, and it's made the order for me to hit a grand slam with for every day until the now now the 2008 presidential primaries when he's thrown out of them.
And he's gonna say more things like this because he's an arrogant elitist snob who thinks that everything he says is brilliant and nuanced and above reproach and criticism.
Robert, I know these guys.
But your comment just now that he shouldn't have said it because it gives people like me ammo is the it's just a perfect little encapsulation of why you guys are perceived the way you are.
You don't have a morality about this war.
You don't have the ability to choose sides and see that your own country's the good guys.
You look at this comment say, Oh, damn, he said what I wanted him to hear, but I wish he wouldn't have said it that way because now he's given limb ammo.
Well, if I've got ammo, it must mean I can hit it out of the park.
It must mean I can destroy what he said.
And I thank you for your honesty and candor in this.
But until you guys shape up and understand what side of this battle you're on, you're gonna continue to take yourself closer and closer and closer to the edge.
You know, you're gonna go to the beach, you think you're in the beach, you're in quicksand.
Let's go back to this Washington Post story.
This some of this is funny.
With the party divided over the specifics of Iraq policy, divided over the specifics of Iraq.
They're divided over the fact that we're in Iraq.
They're divided over the fact that there is no Iraq policy on the Democrat side.
They don't have a policy.
Except one, cut and run, get out, we quit, we surrender.
That's their answer from the chairman of their party on down.
You hear it from Harry Reid, you hear it from Kerry, you hear it from Pelosi, you hear it from John Mertha.
And if Hillary I don't know what she's gonna do because she's left exposed now, the kooks are left to attack her.
There is an Iraq policy, but they don't dare be honest with just like they don't dare be honest about tax increases, and they don't dare be honest about how big the government they want to grow, they don't dare be honest about what they really think about abortion or partial birth abortion, they don't dare be honest about anything.
That's why they have all these closed door meetings to figure out, okay, how can we say this stuff?
It'll get through to the American people, but we can bypass people like Limbaugh, keep from giving limbaugh ammo.
Why don't you just try being pro-country?
One day and see what it might do for you.
Oh, I can't even take that risk.
Can't even be so look at what's happening to Lieberman on the Democrat side.
Look what's happening to the one guy in their party.
They're ignoring him, the press is ignoring him.
The only time his name's mentioned is when Bush mentions his name in a speech.
And then Democrats grit their teeth and cringe.
Because they think Lieberman's undermining them.
The idea that Lieberman may have an entirely different view of their country and his country than they do doesn't even strike them.
So while the party is divided over the specifics of Iraq policy, most Democratic legislators are slowly coalescing around a political plan, according to lawmakers and party operatives.
This would involve setting a broad timeframe for withdrawing down troops, starting with National Guard and Reserve units, internationalizing the Reconstruction, and blaming Bush for misleading the country into a war without a victory.
Wait a minute.
Well, I thought he missed.
I thought he lied about the weapons of mass destruction.
I thought he lied about the pre-war intelligence.
Now all of a sudden you're gonna say he misled the country into a war without a victory plan?
Is that Carrie's all we want is a timetable for success?
I guess the focus groups on lying about weapons of mass destruction isn't working out there.
I guess the idea that Bush cooked a pre-war intelligence isn't playing out there in flyover country, is it?
I wonder why.
Could it be all of the sound bites and all of the quotes that we have produced from Democrats from 1998 on from Bill Clinton on down or up, depending on how you look at it, saying the exact same thing that George W. Bush said in 2002.
And when the Democrats were saying these things in 1998, Bush was drinking a lone star long necks by the barbecue pit down in Crawford.
He wasn't planning on ousting Saddam Hussein.
It is intellectually vacant and vapid to say that Bush lied.
Because everything Bush said was previously uttered by Democrats still in office today.
Kerry, Reed, Pelosi, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, they all said the exact same things.
And yet, folks, this ought to be the easiest skunk in the world of politics for us.
Rather than being all concerned, oh my God, look what the Democrats get away with.
They're not getting away with it.
It is absolutely silly to maintain the president lied when you can go back and show that the very things the president said were uttered by Democrats.
It's intellectually vapant, as I say, or vapid.
Mind-boggling.
And they're not getting away with that.
So apparently now the changed tune.
Blame Bush for misleading the country into a war without a victory plan.
That's not going to fly either.
But all this excitement that they had over Bush lied apparently not working, and of course, the Fitzgerald indictment of Libby, that didn't take them where they wanted to go.
No wonder they're in panic.
Washington Post says the aim, get this.
Get this, what those of you in the military, those of you who are family members of the military get this next paragraph in the Washington Post story.
The aim of Democrats is to provide the party enough maneuvering room to allow them to adjust their positions as continues in Iraq uh uh conditions in Iraq change and fix public attention mostly on Bush's policies rather than the details of a Democrat alternative.
If that doesn't spell it out as to who these people are, they are still today looking at the Iraq war and calculating what can they do and what can they say that will help them?
How can they manipulate whatever changing conditions there are in Iraq so that they benefit?
Note what they don't say.
They don't consider as part of their plan how they can get on board so that when we win, they can take credit.
Notice the concept of our victory doesn't even figure into their calculations.
They are hoping for steadily deteriorating circumstances, and they want their party leaders to agree in advance to a wide berth of flexibility so that they can put whatever position they want day to day out there with their willing, slavish, intellectually vapid accomplices in the mainstream press.
Amplifying the empty rhetoric they come up with.
So the whole aim here, the the whole whole aim of Democrat Party policy in the war on terror, is to provide the Democratic Party enough maneuvering room to allow Democrats to adjust their position as conditions in Iraq change.
So they don't even want to have to come up with a position.
They don't want to have to come out with a position.
They don't want to come up with a plan.
They want to come up with a scheme that will allow them to take whatever plan is necessary day to day.
Senate minority leader dingy Harry Reed embodies this cautious approach.
I don't you love the Washington Post's choice of words, embodies this cautious approach.
There's nothing cautious about this.
This is defensive, it is defeatist, it is selfish, it is megalomoniacal.
It is it is not at all focused on what is good for this country, but totally focused on what is good for them.
Now that may be okay in Social Security, and it may be okay in Medicare reform, and it may be okay in some of these other silly little social concerns that we argue about.
But when it comes to the national security of this country, I'm sorry.
The majority of the American people are not gonna be sympathetic to a bunch of power mad little bulldogs that have not been in power since 1980, factoring how they can take the whole circumstance to get themselves back in power.
The American people are simply not going to put up with that kind of nuanced, advanced superior elitist thinking.
And yet that is what the Democrats wanted to be published in the Washington Post today.
Harry Reed embodies this cautious approach.
Has resisted adopting a concrete Iraq policy.
He's persuaded most Democrat senators to vote for a recent Senate resolution calling 2006 a period of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty.
Not even allowing for individual thought.
No, they got to come up with a single game plan for every member of the Senate.
It must be cautious.
We must allow ourselves flexibility.
We must allow ourselves room to move based on any surprises that come out of there.
But the point of it all is, folks, that in the midst of the war on terror, in the midst of an issue that involves national security on December 7th, the 45th is it forty sixty, what is it, 64th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day,
the Democratic Party, the United States of America, Allows it and wants it to be published that their primary focus on policy is how they can take whatever's happening in Iraq and bend it and shape it to their benefit without having the guts to get involved and roll up their sleeves and actually participate in this.
Draft dodging donut eater, really.
Try yellow bellied sapsuckers.
That's what I would say if I were of their mentality.
Then I'd throw sand on them from the sandbox.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have right here on a one and only excellence in broadcasting network.
There's even more in this gold mine that is this Washington Post story today.
Democratic representatives Jane Harmon and Ellen Tosher, both of California, plan to push House Democrats to adopt a similar position as Dingy Harry's, one of cautious approach, where they don't have to take a position where they can be flexible day to day, take whatever position they need to take that'll help them.
Despite Pelosi's claims that she echoes the views of most members in her caucus, plenty of Democrats are cringing at her new high profile on the Iraq withdrawal.
Not only did she back a position that polls show most Americans don't support, she also did this when Bush is trying to move off the defensive by accusing Democrats of supporting a de facto surrender.
So they're mad at her on her timing, they're mad at her on her substance, but what is the substance?
We learn throughout this story that the Democrats rely totally on polls.
The dingy Harry position, by the way, is based on a Time magazine poll that says 60% of the American people want us out of a rock, don't like the fact that we're there, blah, blah, blah.
So the Democrats simply reacting to polls.
The problem is the polls are have to be skewed because they're being put together by their own accomplices in the mainstream press.
But the bottom line is when it comes to national security, when it comes to the defense of the country, what are these polls worth?
Bush doesn't listen to them.
Bush doesn't back down from his beliefs because of the polls.
He's not wishy-washy, he's not moistening the finger out there like Barney Frank does.
Stick it up in the wind, see which way it's blowing and get in front of it.
Has his principles, has his beliefs.
Democrats can't compete when on that when it at any time and any place.
One House Democrat said, Well, you know, we've not blown our chance at winning back the house, but we have jeopardized.
Yeah, this is all this is about to them.
Oh, yeah, we're gonna win back to house.
Oh, Bush is falling out.
Poles are in our finger.
We got it won already.
And then Dean went out there.
Democratic candidates said their biggest concern is that voters will misconstrue comments by party leaders about Bush's handling of the war as criticism of U.S. troops who were fighting in Iraq.
I absolutely disagree with Dean, said Patrick Murphy, Democrat running for the suburban Philadelphia house seat now occupied by Michael Fitzpatrick, a Republican.
I absolutely disagree with him.
He's the chairman of your party.
He's the chairman of the Democrat National Committee.
But the Democrats say their biggest concern is that voters will misconstrue comments by party leaders as criticism of U.S. troops who are what in the world are we supposed to say when John Kerry says the U.S. troops are going into Iraqi homes under cover of darkness and terrorizing women and children?
Would you Democrats tell us how we are misconstruing this?
When they talk about what goes on at Abu Ghrab or Club Gitmo as Dick Durbin did, or Senator Kennedy does.
How are we misconstruing what the Democrats are saying?
We're not misconstruing anything.
We're not misunderstanding it.
You are Democrats, you are liberals, and you are telling us exactly what you think.
You say you support the troops, and then you come out and undermine them.
You are invested in defeat.
How in the world can you say that you're being misconstrued in your comments about the troops?
You've made them out to be torturers, you've made them out to be barbarians, you've made them out to be terrorizers of women and children.
They're blowing up innocent school children.
How in the name of God is that misconstruing anything?
You know the problem with you, Democrats, fifty years you got away with saying whatever you wanted without anybody questioning you.
Now all of a sudden you get questioned on your idiocy and you can't deal with it.
How come they dare?
Say that about us.
How they dare react to us?
Same thing that Carrie happened to him on Sunday.
Says whatever he wants, as he's so far about everybody else, nobody even has the right to question what he says.
Somebody questions what he says, and he comes back with a sixth grade equivalent insult.
Is that the best you can do?
Yes.
And it has been for about 25 years, and you've shown no signs of improvement.
We're all happy about it.
We'll be back in a moment.
And it only gonna get better.
Saddam Hussein takes another page out of my suggested defense for him at his trial.
And also from Harry Reid.
