All right.
Democrats are adopting Republican voter turnout techniques.
According to the Cybercast News Service, without looking at the calendar, it's easy to tell that August is nearing an end just by the number of fundraising appeals coming from Democrat organizations.
The latest batch warns Democrats that Republicans are about to do what they do best.
Get voters to the polls on Election Day.
At the end of summer, as the end of summer approaches, there are some things you can count on, says a group that works to elect Democrats.
The air will get cooler.
The leaves will start changing.
The Republican attacks will get ugly.
This from Rah Emmanuel, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, writing for the DCCC, James Carville and Paul Begala warned that the same Swift voters who went after John Kerry are now attacking Jack Murtha, doing everything they can to amp up the Republican base.
And you can bet your suite, you know what?
They're looking for a new, even uglier way to suppress votes.
As the right-wing slime machine gears up and Karl Rove works to turn out the GOP vote, the DCC said that it is launching its voter turnout fund to match the Republicans blow for blow and voter to voter.
This is an interesting new technique here.
I guess Democrats are going to give up on the free booze and cigarette schemes and the walk-around money that they give away and are going to try a new technique to get people out to the polls.
There's a related story in the stack here that the Democrats are charging that Republicans have a new strategery that is designed to keep Democrats away from the polls.
Here it's in salon.com.
And it's quite lengthy and I'm not going to go through the whole thing.
But the basic premise here is that there was Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.
Here are the six states where vote suppression could cost voters their voice and Democrats the election in 2006.
Now, this is interesting because up till now, all we've heard about is that Democrats are going to take back the House.
It's a done deal.
It's a fait accompli.
They're going to take the Senate too and in a White House at 08.
Now all of a sudden, Bagala and Carville are writing about, well, you know, the Republicans are starting to swift vote people and the attacks are going to start.
We're going to keep up with them blow by blow.
Might call that the intern vote.
And now salons out there saying six states out there, ladies and gentlemen.
Sorry.
Six states out there where the Republicans are going to cheat by keeping Democrats from the polls.
Arriving in Arizona in January from Kansas City, weakened by four heart attacks and degenerative talk disc disease, a guy by the name of a woman by the name of Eva Steele discovered that without a birth certificate, she can't register to vote.
Under a draconian new Arizona law that supposedly targets illegal immigrants, she needs proof of citizenship and a state-issued driver's license or a photo ID to register.
But her van and her purse were stolen in the first few weeks after she moved to Mesa.
And with her disability checks going to rent and medicine, she can't afford the $15 needed to get her birth certificate from Missouri.
Come on!
This is absurd.
I don't see a whole lot of confidence in the Democrats.
Now, now they're starting already just now in August about how the Republicans are going to cheat.
And I'll tell you what, if these guys, Art Levine wrote the story here for salon.com.
And if they don't think this illegal immigration thing is a real problem in Arizona, Art, let me tell you something.
The fraud that occurs in elections in this country is by Democrats in Georgia, anywhere else.
They don't want photo IDs because that will eliminate fraud.
So you got the Reverend Zach and all the others in the Democratic Party campaigning that those photo ID requirements are racist and so forth.
At any rate, Eva Steele is unable to overcome the hurdles thrown in her way and in the way of as many as 500,000 other Arizona residents by the state's Republican politicians.
But Eva Steele's plight has gotten relatively little notice from pundits and progressive activists, excuse me, confidently predicting a sweeping Democrat victory in November.
This fall, the favored GOP suppression techniques, our new photo ID laws, the criminalizing of voter registration drives, and database purges that have disqualified up to 40% of newly registered voters from voting in such jurisdictions as Los Angeles County.
Anybody ever stopped to think that there might be a whole bunch of fraudulent registrations out there?
There were in the 2004 race all over the place.
It's about time this stuff got cleaned up.
Anyway, the six states that the Republicans are going to suppress poor Democrats from voting are Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, California.
California.
What Republican has anything to say in California other than Arnold?
What Republican runs a voter precinct in California other than Orange County?
So be Ohio, California, Florida, and Missouri.
Yes, it says here, the showme stays, my home state, by the way, has an unsavory and very recent history of suppressing black votes.
Really?
St. Louis keeping the polls open an additional number of hours because black voters supposedly couldn't get to the polls?
This story is an entire crock.
What to take from the story, ladies and gentlemen, is that all of this pumped up confidence among the Democrats.
They got this election in a bag because the country hates Bush and they hate the war in Iraq and they don't believe the war on terror.
And they're mad they don't have health care and they're mad they don't have this or that and the gas price is three bucks.
Why should the Democrats need to worry about any of this stuff?
Everybody hates Bush.
And they're going to turn it out against all the Republicans on the ballot.
What is becoming apparent is that this bravado and confidence is nothing more than typical liberal BS.
All right, now you want to hear a couple conflicts.
I'm going to get to the Forbes story and just say this Forbes story is amazing.
I mean, I can't believe it.
It's in Forbes.
Forbes magazine, the business Bible, a capitalist tool.
We just had the survey from the Alliance Insurance Company that almost half of American women, including those who earn $100,000 a year, fear becoming a bag lady.
Now we got Forbes magazine, long story, don't marry career women.
And there's a nine-part slideshow.
Now, we'll link to this at rushlinbaugh.com, a nine-part slideshow that will warn you men what will happen to you if you marry a career woman.
I will share these details with you after the break.
But first, two stories.
These are both, let's see, well, I'm not sure.
One is AP.
I'm not sure about the other one.
Study.
Even a few extra pounds is risky.
Being a little overweight can kill you, according to new research.
It leaves little room for denial that a few extra pounds is harmful.
Baby boomers who were even just a tad pudgy were more likely to die prematurely than those who were at a healthy weight, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.
Still, nevertheless, we all are going to die.
No change there.
But story that came out just moments later.
This happened last night.
For men over 50, a few extra pounds, not unhealthy.
There is good news for some men over 50.
Being just a little overweight's not unhealthy.
Yet for women, there's no late-in-life leeway.
Being overweight to any degree significantly increases their health risks.
I have to sympathize with women on this.
They can't cut a break.
They can't catch a break when it comes to weight.
All these anorexic actresses, wafes, and models are paraded in front of them as the so-called ideal.
Men can run around with unshaven faces and get starring roles in movies as stylish.
Don't have to comb their hairs, can wear jeans and t-shirts with holes and stuff all over it, can stink.
And it's said to be an animal attraction technique for women.
Meanwhile, these women are out there doing everything they can to make themselves appeal.
And if they're one pound overweight, they're going to die prematurely.
And men live longer.
It ain't fair, folks.
No wonder they fear becoming bad ladies.
Well, back after this with the Forbes magazine, Data, stay with us.
I really was surprised to see this in Forbes magazine.
I could expect to see it in Oprah's magazine or some supermarket, but in the career section of Forbes magazine, and we've got the link up at rushlimbaugh.com now.
Don't marry career women.
And here's how the story starts by Michael Knorr.
It starts this way.
Guys, a word of advice.
Marry pretty women or ugly ones.
Short ones are tall ones.
Blondes are brunettes.
Just whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career.
Why?
Because if many social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage.
A recent study in Social Forces, a research journal, found that women, even those with a feminist outlook, are happier when their husband is the primary breadwinner.
Well, just wait, wait till the feminazis get a load of this one.
This is just, I mean, see, the culture of feminization is starting to fade away and a return to normalcy is rearing its head.
These things are cyclical.
I knew it was going to happen, but the early dawning of the new age, current age of feminism, occurred in the 60s, late 60s, and early 70s when I was in late teens and early 20s.
It totally messed me up.
You young guys, 21, 22, be thankful as hell.
You weren't born back in 1951, 50, 55.
There's a slideshow with this story.
There's a link up there that you can click on a slideshow.
The pictures are funny, but here are the subjects that go with each picture.
These are the reasons you should not marry a career woman.
You're less likely to get married to her.
She's not interested in it.
Number two, if you do marry, you are more likely to get divorced if you marry a career woman.
Number three, she is more likely to cheat on you if you marry a career woman.
Number four, you are much less likely to have kids.
That would be in my plus column.
Number five, if you do have kids, your wife is more likely to be unhappy.
Number six, your house will be dirtier.
This is in Forbes magazine.
And this is the subject of a study done in 2005 by two University of Michigan scientists concluded: if your wife has a job earning more than $15 an hour, which is roughly $30,000 a year, she'll do two hours less housework a week.
Number seven, if you marry a career woman, you'll be unhappy if she makes more than you do.
And number eight, she'll be unhappy if she makes more than you do.
And number nine, you're more likely to get sick if you marry a career woman.
It's in Forbes magazine.
Larry in Bourbon, Illinois, training location for the Chicago Bears.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hi, Rush.
How are you doing?
Longtime listener, longtime Republican, ever since Reagan was elected.
Thank you, sir.
But I have a confession to make.
Yeah?
If Hillary or any other Democrat runs for president this next time around and offers some sort of national health care, I'm voting for him.
You can't be serious.
Serious as a heart attack.
I got, you know, I'm tired of the kids here at home.
Well, they're grown up now, just young, starting out on their own, want to start a family.
They did everything by the book.
They went to school, with the trade schools, and trying to find a decent job that offers any kind of health benefits is just damn near impossible.
No, it's not.
Now, come on.
Finding a job that offers health benefits is impossible?
Oh, well, they offer some sort of health benefits, but the portion you have to pay, well, I got one son, so the portion he has to pay would take about probably a third of his monthly income and go just to health care.
Okay.
You really stand by the assertion you've been a Republican since Reagan?
Because what you're saying here doesn't jibe with what you should have learned and agreed with in those days.
Oh, yeah, man.
Long time.
It's just here in the last few years, and I'm seeing how these kids are struggling now, and the competition out there is strong.
And you look at it and you see, well, people that are retired, they got health care.
People that don't want to work, they got Medicaid.
They have Medicare for somebody that's retired, but somebody that's just starting out in life, they want to start a family.
They got nothing.
Well, you know, there is an option when you're, are all your kids married?
Not yet.
Not yet.
Well, then they don't need it.
It is elective.
You don't.
This is one way to look at it.
Of the 45 million reputedly uninsured in this country, a large number of them are uninsured by choice.
Kids just starting out, wait a minute, kids just starting out are just starting out.
Just starting out means something.
Retired means something.
There are other concerns other than health care when you are young.
But let me get to the nut of what you're saying here because I'm trying to think of a great question to ask you.
You would vote for a Democrat if a Democrat promises something close to universal health coverage.
You ought to know that that doesn't work.
You ought to know that everywhere it's been tried around the world, Canada, Great Britain, it doesn't work.
And they still end up with two systems where people who can afford it pay for it themselves.
They get the best coverage.
Everybody else waits in line for an appendectomy, even.
Now, if the government ought to buy your health care, how come the government shouldn't buy your kids a house?
Well, he's trying to do that.
Who's trying to do that?
My son's trying to do that.
Trying to get the government to buy him a house.
No, he bought a house.
Well, that's my point.
Why should he have bought it?
Why don't you hold out for the government to buy the house?
That's not his way.
And if he was an illegal...
Well, now, wait, why is it his way for the government to buy his health care?
If it was illegal, he would just go down to the hospital and get taken care of and let the taxpayer cover it.
But he's not that way either.
He's not going to go down there and he's going to pay his bills when he has bills.
But no, he's not.
He's not going to pay his health care bills.
For some reason, for some reason, his neighbors and others in the community ought to pay his health care bills.
Who do you think pays for health care for all these people?
Who the hell?
Ultimately.
I do.
You do.
Exactly.
But I'm paying for coverage for the people that are retired.
I'm paying for coverage for people that have no job.
I'm paying for coverage that people don't have even city nice.
Okay.
All right.
No, no, no, no.
You're caving in.
You're giving up.
You're saying, Sayonara, I can't believe you're saying this.
That's not the way to fix this.
That's not the way to deal with this is to make it worse.
Well, why shouldn't I give up?
Our own president wants to let the, what, 12 million of them stay?
12 million illegals going to stay in this country.
They just go to the hospital and get their health care.
Yeah, and it's got people roiled, and they're going to be people pay for that dearly at the next election.
You wait.
Well, I hope so.
I've talked to my representatives.
I'll guarantee you, you start voting for Democrats, you're not going to change any of this.
You start voting for Democrats, you're going to be paying more than you are now for everybody to be on health care, and it's going to be so restrictive, it's not going to be worth it.
At least somebody from my family and my site will benefit from it, you know?
I can't believe you've got to be putting me on.
Larry, you can't possibly mean you're a professional provocateur.
cannot be this short-sighted.
You're coming across as two things.
Some of you, you've totally given up.
You can't beat the system.
And now you want to game it yourself.
Well, I've just about given up, Rush.
You know who our senators are here in Illinois?
What was the question?
Do you know who our senators here in Illinois are?
Yeah, I feel sad for you.
Yeah, I've just about given up.
Well, if you vote for a Democrat for president, you're waving the white flag.
We've got one person here in the state, one representative in our district, Jerry Weller, Republican, is the only one that's got a clue as to what's really going on.
No, no, they all know what's going on.
What you're up against, there are people who are trying to make you give up.
They are liberal Democrats.
They want you to give up out of frustration.
They want you to turn over your life and your kids' lives to them so that you are totally and utterly powerless.
So you never have the chance to provide for your own health care.
Just like you buy your own car, your own hotel rooms, your own gasoline.
Why shouldn't the government buy your gasoline?
Where does this kind of stuff stop?
Back in a moment.
Ha, we are back.
All right, let me see if I can tackle this because I'm getting lots of emails.
That caller was right.
There are fewer and fewer companies offering health benefits, and it's getting tougher and tougher for young people to go out there and get health coverage.
It's at times like these, ladies and gentlemen, that my soul is trod into my 19th year to still have such ignorance in this audience.
Understand, it may not be total ignorance.
A lot of it is emotion.
So what I'm about to say will be considered cold-hearted, mean-spirited, and cruel.
First, to those of you saying, he's right, Rush.
If the government's buying all these illegal homes and giving them health care, why not us?
You people know better than that.
The idea to fix the problem is to get rid of the government paying health care for illegals and giving them housing and all of that.
Not for everybody else to get on that gravy train.
I am shocked.
I am stunned that some of you people want to actually do that.
You're giving up.
I understand the frustration out there.
But get with the program.
This stuff never ends.
It's an ongoing battle.
It's called defeating liberalism and liberals and their way of thinking.
They want as many people dependent on them, i.e. government as possible.
And I cringe when I hear so many of you people begging to get on the same dole simply because you're bitter that others have it and you don't.
I am shocked.
That's not what people in this audience are made of, and I will not tolerate it.
The fix for this is to fix the illegal alien problem and to stop all this liberalism and the growth of government.
Number two, for those of you who say that fewer and fewer employers are offering health benefits, what is the purpose of a job?
To get health coverage or to get a job to be productive and advance in life so that you can buy whatever you need, not want, need on your own.
Since when is it American to transfer your needs to somebody else?
Is that the purpose of a company?
A company, an organization, a small business sits there for the express purpose of providing your needs?
It's bad enough when you think they ought to buy your VCR.
But now they ought to buy your needs?
I am sick.
I am sad.
I am disappointed.
What a way to send me off on my golf trip vacation.
Thinking of myself as an utter failure with some of you people in 18 plus years.
If fewer and fewer companies are offering health benefits, wake up and ask yourself why.
Don't conclude it's because they're cruel and mean and greedy and selfish and want you to get sick and suffer.
If they hire you, they want you to be productive.
They don't want you going to the doctor every damn day.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe, have you taken a look at what's happening at General Motors and Ford?
Companies have been providing endless benefits for decades, not only for people who are currently employed, but for those who are retired.
Do you think this golden goose can't be killed?
The pension programs at General Motors are in trouble because they don't have the money.
And so guess what?
Good old Uncle Sam's going to take over.
So now people are going to be dependent on the government for their pensions.
This idea that a company exists to give you health care, where did this?
I know it's expensive, and I know catastrophic health care is devastating.
I'm fully aware of it.
I have been there.
But the idea that somebody else should pay for that aspect of your life has got to stop.
Otherwise, your kids are going to grow up thinking that somebody else ought to buy their car and that somebody else ought to pay or partially pay for their house because those things are expensive too.
And then someday, somebody is going to assume that somebody ought to pay for their vacation.
Where does this stuff stop?
When people are young and just starting out, my thinking is that they need to have a little sense of perspective and proportion.
Demanding when they're 21, 25, first and foremost, that they get health care coverage.
I understand people want security.
They want to be covered in case something catastrophic happens.
The odds of that to people who are young and youthful are very low compared to people who are aged and older.
If it is so important, pardon me for shouting, I am revved up.
If it is so important, how about buying one car or not buying three plasmas and going out and buying your own health care plan, finding a group to join, if it's that important?
I understand you are all Americans and you expect as Americans that what is necessary, particularly for health, should be available just because we're Americans.
But it costs.
It has, as does everything, a price.
We have, as human beings, priorities.
Now, if you are really at the top of your list concerned about health care and you're working for some place that doesn't provide it, then I would think the responsible thing to do would be out and go and buy it for yourself and do without something else.
But I realize those two words will infuriate many of you.
Do without.
It is a concept that many young people don't understand anymore.
Do without?
Easy for you to say.
You've got everything.
Yeah.
Well, when I was 21, 22, we all did without.
And a lot of people are still doing without, but they still strive.
But this notion that because the illegals get health care free, and by the way, if you go to places where this is happening, 11 emergency rooms in Southern California have closed and shut down because they weren't being paid.
They had by law to cover, but they couldn't keep operating.
So we're short 11 emergency rooms.
And this is from the Los Angeles Times about a year ago.
We're short 11 emergency rooms.
What you look and see as the grass being greener is not, almost in all cases, is not what it appears to be.
The grass is seldom greener because everything is relative.
I understand as well as anybody the frustration over illegal aliens and the fact that they get, well, I don't know about housing.
I don't know where that comes from, but the medical care and so forth and so on.
And I understand for young people starting out that you can't afford the house that you grew up in.
It's so unfair.
It just isn't right.
This is what I mean, folks, when I have said and when I have been saying over the course of many recent months here, that we have a society that's so affluent, and we really, really do, that the expectations that people have are through the roof.
And that's fabulous and that's great.
But you have to understand at the same time that the expectations are just that.
If you expect X, it's also expected of you that you are going to get it.
And when I hear you expecting it to be given or provided you, I will admit to you, I feel like an utter failure if you have been in this audience longer than two years and saying these things.
As to healthcare, for years, responsible people like me have been proposing a fix to this.
Why is it that a hospital bed should cost more than somebody can afford for it?
Hotels can't do that.
Hotels can't charge themselves, can't charge $1,000 a day.
Motel 6, Holiday Inn, take your pick.
They can't charge $1,000 a day and then have the government come in and pick up a room insurance program for people who want to go on vacation or stay at a hotel.
They have to price it according to the ability of their chosen customer base to be able to pay for it.
Medicine doesn't do that.
Does anybody wonder why?
Anybody wonder why hospitals get away with $1,1500 a night for a hospital bed?
It's because somebody's paying for it.
Government, insurance companies, or somebody is.
You realize what's happening with all the...
Do you really think that a Band-Aid costs $10 in a hospital?
The reason it does is because somebody's willing to pay it without asking.
It's absurd.
So how do you fix this?
Well, you bring competition back into the marketplace, make going to the doctor.
We're not talking about catastrophic.
That's a different thing here.
But you make going to the doctor for checkups and a number that competitive so that people can go out and shop it for price just like everything else.
No, we've got HMOs, we've got these other organizations, and you've given a field of doctors to go through and go to, and that's the price you pay.
Even at that, we have the world's best healthcare system.
There's no doubt about it.
But the idea, and this is what stuns me the most, wounds me to the heart, the greatest.
The idea that because you don't have health care insurance means you don't have medical coverage is absurd.
You can go to the doctor and you can pay him.
What a concept.
But for some reason, the thought of paying medical care is just unacceptable.
No, the company ought to pay for that.
And there ought not be any copay.
And I ought not have to pay a portion of it.
I don't know where this comes from, but you have been trapped and you have been lured and you have been screwed into believing the liberal concept of life.
Somebody else has to pay for it or else you can't have it.
Now, wake up, folks.
Hi, welcome back.
It's Open Line Friday on Wednesday.
The out of touch.
Rush Limbaugh here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Teresa in Cincinnati.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Yes.
Yeah, hi.
Yes.
Hi.
It's a privilege, Mr. Limbaugh.
Thank you.
Thanks for all that you do, and you're a wonderful human being.
Thank you.
I'm a new listener, and this is messing me up because, Brittany, you turn the radio around.
Turn it around and listen to it on the other side.
I got my girls listening to the radio turned down low.
Yeah, because she wants to hear mommy on the radio, but there's a delay on and it's messing you up.
Yeah, it's messing up.
So I had her turn it around.
I've heard you make comments over the last couple of months, and I'm just getting familiar with a lot of the viewpoints and things.
You know, I'm a little familiar, but I'm learning a lot more as I listen to the show.
Thank you.
And yeah, that's definitely a compliment.
And I've heard you mention feminazi, that term, and that really cracks me up.
But I wanted to see if you could give me a background on what exactly that means or the definition of that, if that's appropriate way to ask that.
Sure.
You want the definition of feminazi?
Feminazi was a term that I coined in the late 80s in the midst of the really, really controversially enroiled abortion debate in this country.
And a feminazi at that time was a woman, and there weren't very many of them, and this was never understood by the criticism.
Well, it was understood, but they just refused to believe this.
There really weren't very many feminazis.
12 to 13 was the maximum number I was able to identify publicly.
An efeminazi was a woman whose political beliefs were such that any abortion possible had to happen.
Efeminazi was a woman who would be upset if a pregnant woman went to an adoption clinic, an adoption office, and wanted to give birth to have the baby adopted.
Efeminazi was a woman who tried to promulgate the notion that a pregnant woman is actually carrying a disease and that it's sometimes a fatal disease.
It was just absurd, some of these arguments.
And since I consider abortion to be killing, I thought feminazi was an appropriate word.
It got me in a lot of trouble with a lot of people at a lot of points, but I've stuck by it.
Feminazi now is sort of the terminology, the definition is relaxed a little bit.
Still applies as to my original explanation to you, but it can also mean women who just will do anything to enforce a feminist view on the part of everybody, just relentless, oppressive women.
Well, why are you worried that you are one?
It's funny.
I grew up in the 70s, and so I read the feminine mystique and all that, and I went to college in the 70s.
And I, you know, I kind of was fed a lot of that.
That was in the air, you know, during my time.
Yeah, it was in the air, it was in the water, it was in the front seat of the car, it was everywhere.
You couldn't get away from it.
Yeah, and so I pretty much, you know, I believed what I heard that was in the air during the time that I was very impressionable.
Sure, you did.
And I also didn't, I didn't have a really great education going to public schools, so I didn't have a whole lot of basis and foundation for being able to compare what was given to me.
Yeah, it was being taught in the public schools, too.
Right.
Well, what I want to know, too, is why do the conservative, which I consider myself a moderate or a moderate conservative or a conservative, but yet I still don't understand.
Why does the conservative viewpoint feel that is feminism completely opposed to the conservative?
No, no, no.
Look, it depends on how you define feminism.
Nobody anywhere is opposed to equal pay for equal work.
Nobody is opposed to equal opportunity for anybody.
That's not the point.
But when you have to start lowering standards, for example, when women wanted to be firemen, they had to change the physical requirements because they couldn't pass test.
So that was an example of feminization of the culture.
We were lowering standards for police and for fireman jobs, in some cases in the military, in order to allow women to qualify for them under the notion that men and women are essentially the same.
By the way, USA Today yesterday in the life section highlights a book by a woman who's written a book on how men and women are actually different.
It's time magazines cover all over again.
But Teresa, the feminization of the culture, what is meant by that is the characterization of men as predators, as problematic, as wife beaters, as abusers of children, as uncaring brutes.
And many, you know, men want to have women around.
And so they do what they think they're supposed to do to be attractive to women, including lose their spines.
And that's the feminization of the culture.
Because women, in civilized affairs, women have always had the power.
They've always had it because in civilized circumstances, it's always women who say no or have the power to say no in civilized circumstances.
But the feminization of the culture has gotten to the point where men are afraid to be men because being a man is there's something wrong with it.
It's brute.
It's barbaric.
It's predatory and so forth.
You basically have a bunch of men running around scared to death of women.
And that ain't hopeful.
