Time Text
And welcome back.
Greetings to you, my good buddies, L. Rushbow.
And broadcast excellence on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yahoo.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
Open line Friday, special day.
Because it means that when we go to the phones, the callers own the show.
It's their show.
It's your show.
Meaning you can bring up anything, even if I don't care about it.
We have one hour left.
Make it count.
800 282.
2882 is the number.
Okay, so I um took a little break here at the top of the hour, and I was walking around the broadcast complex here.
And on the way back into the broadcast studio, I asked the staff on the other side of the glass there, said, So do you think I've hit the Michael J. Fox thing hard enough today?
And they uh always get queasy when I ask them for their assessment of uh uh daily performance.
They don't want to disagree with the boss.
They're not suck ups, but nobody said anything.
And I knew what that meant.
Uh so I looked at Dawn and said, you know, you do you think I haven't hit it hard enough today?
No, I don't.
I mean, they continue to play that sickening video of you and distort it and lie about it.
And I looked at Brian.
What do you think, Brian?
I think you could do it one more time.
I said, Well, you told me on Wednesday you were bored with it.
Said, well, they've kept playing that video.
They continue to distort what you're saying.
Snerdley, of course, uh agrees with them.
Uh there are so many other things out there.
I've devoted the first two hours of the program to other things today.
I did respond to Michael J. Fox's interview on Katie Currick's uh news last night because he said two incredible things I had to respond to.
So that's out there.
Also, I I've posted it, it's on the website at the very top of the website.
Katie Courake sent me an email yesterday before she sat down with Mr. Fox and said, Could you just send me something that that that represents statement of what you said?
Gladly.
So I said, I don't know, it's five or six paragraphs.
I sent it over there, and she used one line from it.
She was not obligated to use it all, though I don't misunderstand.
I just want you to see what I sent her and what was not used.
Well, what obviously did not uh strike her as important to say or or use in her questioning in the interview of Michael J. Fox.
I have received numerous emails today from uh from friends who uh are just outraged over the continuing use of the video that the drive-by media, particularly cable channels, but Katie used it too, and she didn't tell me if she's gonna do that.
Uh uh otherwise I would have explained that and put that in context.
But I mean the f she ought to know anyway.
These people have been talking about this all week.
They don't want to know what's actually said on this program.
They want to be able to make it up and characterize it in their own way.
And the thing that continues to be used is the video on Monday, in which I, right after I had viewed the ad that Michael J. Fox did for Claire McCaskill.
Uh, I began to describe it in the process of describing it.
I I began to uh illustrate what I had seen.
I almost find myself doing it here.
Uh it is a natural tendency.
We've got a camera in here, and I try to illustrate for people what when I have the ability when people are watching this program as well on the Ditto Cam.
That has been taken.
Some networks have sped it up to try to enhance the spastic like nature of it.
Uh they are all saying that I was mocking, making fun of.
How low will Limbaugh go now and next.
This is unconscionable.
And it is it is absurd and ridiculous uh for them to make this charge that I would make fun of somebody in this uh circumstance.
So the story is that I'm just out of control here, and the fact of the matter is that it is the drive by media is acting disgraceful.
Uh It is they who have reached a new low.
It is they who are totally uninterested in anything of the truth.
You know, I I know how I was treated.
I know what was said about me when I lost my hearing.
I know the applause that I was greeted with.
I know how happy that people were when they thought it was the end of my career.
I remember all of this.
And I've not mentioned it up till this week because it is what it is.
I I don't whine or complain about these things because this is the league in which I play.
This is politics.
This is the arena of ideas.
I don't expect these people to like me.
I don't expect them to give me a fair shake, like they give the terrorists, like CNN gives the terrorists.
I don't expect a fair shake from CNN.
I don't expect a fair shake from MSNBC.
I don't expect a fair shape from any of the broadcast networks.
Uh so it's all about expectation.
We don't expect something and then it doesn't happen.
You you're you're not surprised.
But I remember when I announced that I was addicted to prescription pain pills.
There was happiness about that.
There was glee, and there can television shows were convened to discuss if this meant the end of my career.
They were hoping and praying that it did.
So, yes, it's true, the very people who are demanding total compassion, demanding silence, demanding utter respect for their chosen victims, are the same people who are as mean and cruel as they think those of us on the right are.
And they do it and they think that they are doing it in a heroic fashion.
Uh and I I I appreciate all of the emails that I've gotten from you people in support.
They are voluminous.
They are mountainous, if I were to print them out.
Uh the degree to which many of you were angered and outraged, I understand and I appreciate, but understand I I I'm just not able to mount the same kind of anger and articulate it here to give you some sort of feedback.
Of course I'm mad about it, and I wish it weren't happening, but it is what it is.
I'm I I really live and am grounded in the reality of circumstances.
The one thing I have learned over the course of my career is that, as this episode illustrates, how many hours this week have I discussed this in every which way?
How many charges have I dealt with and nuked out of the park?
How many things have I, how many times have I discussed substantive analytical issues associated with what the Michael J. Fox ad is all about?
And has it changed anything in the meet?
No, and I didn't expect it to.
Now, I have watched a little TV at night this week, and I have been a little surprised that uh there are so many people on our side of the aisle who are so misinformed about this themselves that even when they attempt to explain my side of it, they don't get it because they're not even up to speed on it.
Uh many people uh uh asked me, does how does this make you feel?
It's make you feel alone.
No, no, no, no, no.
I mean th isolated maybe, but not alone in the in the sense of being alone about it.
Uh I just I just continue to fall back on it is what it is, and I you know I really feel bad that you guys get so angry about it.
Uh I I understand it, and I'm sure they're hearing from you.
They are ignoring you just as they are ignoring what I say here.
Uh this is pedal to the metal time.
I mean, this Democrats have been dreaming about this blue wave landslide of theirs.
Look at what's happened here with this Michael J. Fox ad.
The truth of what's happened is that the whole issue is blown up in their face.
What they're trying to pass off as stem cell research is actually a cloning measure, and that's that's what's on the ballot in Missouri.
Amendment two is about cloning federal dollars, your dollars.
Some couple out there has invested 28 million dollars, and they want state funds and all this once this becomes part of the Constitution.
This is not about legalizing cloning, it's making it constitutional in Missouri.
And it is uh being it's being disguised even from the name of the amendment as a stem cell research issue.
And they trot out Mr. Fox in all of his suffering, and it's designed to twist your heart and gut wrench you And to uh and and to get you focused not on what the issue is but on the emotions involved.
Well, we blew all that up, and they are livid about this.
Now they won't say that.
But this is this is one of their October surprises that was just they're gonna sneak in, get in uh little hit here in Missouri, a little hit in uh Maryland, and maybe run one of these ads against George Allen in Virginia.
Uh and it didn't work because it's been nationalized now, and a lot of people are focusing on this in the proper way.
It's a cloning issue, it's not a stem cell issue.
Uh and even when we discuss it on the stem cell side, we've had the opportunity now to point out the truth.
When it comes to embryonic stem cells, there isn't anything there.
So the motives of these people have been called into question now, and what was supposed to be a pretty much stealth campaign to sway some votes at the last minute in individual states has been blown up now.
Why should they like me?
Why should they want to be fair about this?
Now they take it another step further, or many steps further, and start misrepresenting what I say on the program and what I do on the program, all for the purposes of destroying me.
And make no mistake, just as they laughed and celebrated when I lost my hearing, and as they laughed and celebrated when I uh announced my prescription drug addiction, and when they thought that prosecutors in Florida were going to put me in jail, they were happy about that.
Uh they've been disappointed so many times.
They've thought they've had me so many times, and somehow I'm the roadrunner, and they are wild e.
coyote.
So they see another chance here.
And it fits their template.
Their template is they bring forth victims, can't criticize them.
I criticize the victim and the content of his commercial, and I have committed a cardinal sin in the religion of liberalism, and such I must be destroyed.
So uh I will I'm gonna go through this one more time because it's the end of the week, and this is probably going to be discussed on Sunday shows.
In fact, I know I was invited on uh Fox News Sunday and I can't appear, and I'm gonna I'm gonna be away this weekend, and I know Stephanopoulos is discussing this whole thing as uh as well.
Uh and so I wanna I want to put this in context for you one more time before the weekend ends, so if you happen to watch these programs, it'll be fresh on your mind.
My take.
Uh well, I know snerdly nobody watches ABC's program.
Whatever, but but they might get an audience this week.
They're all they're you put my name out there and people will watch it.
All right.
Anyway, I gotta take a brief time out.
We'll come back, go through this one more time because this is a great dissertation on exactly what is happening here and who is behind it right after this.
Somebody just reminded me about Robin Williams.
Not long ago, he was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and uh my name come up, came up somebody started making fun of me and my um uh addiction to prescription pain medication and having visited rehabilitation and talked about what uh an SOB I was and so forth.
And a week later, he announces he is going into rehab himself for uh uh his concerns about he started drinking again, and he w wants to nip it in the bud and so and then asked for privacy.
And the media uh as they do with the liberal selective, oh, we wish him the best.
Oh, how courageous, oh, it's just too bad.
We wish him the best, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I mentioned this to you as I was reminded about it, just to illustrate the things that are out there.
And I know this.
Uh and I know that there's there's really no way of changing it.
I so I don't I'm not preoccupied with it.
But I do want to continue on with this uh this whole business of what's happening in Missouri and in Maryland, and give you the real story about as I did in the first hour of yesterday, is basically what is happening, ladies and gentlemen, is that uh Democrats are lying to sick people.
Via the Michael J. Fox ad.
They are lying to sick people.
They are promising something that isn't there, and they are suggesting that only Democrats can make the impossible happen, and therefore you have to vote against Republicans if you want to get cured of the disease that afflicts you.
That's cruel, that is mean, that is what's happening.
Yet I am the SOB.
I used to be the number three SOB in the country.
This week I'm the number one SOB in the country.
I'm bigger than Bush as an SOB.
He'll get it back eventually.
But they are lying to the sick people of this country.
They are defending false attack ads against Republican candidates.
They are defending experiments on embryos.
They are lying about candidates and science and are the campaign ad production team for the Democrats.
Their ratings are down, folks.
Their stock prices.
Chicago Tribune announces today they're in trouble.
They own the LA Times.
The LA Times is in trouble.
New York Times stock price yesterday went started plunging.
Readership is down, circulation is down, ratings is down, profits are down.
Why?
Because they have dropped all pretense of news reporting.
They have openly joined the direct the ranks of the Democrat Party.
They are indistinguishable now, the drive-by media and the Democrat Party.
They are so adept at lying that Amendment 2 in the state of Missouri, which is entitled something to do with stem cell research is not about stem cell research at all, period.
It is an amendment to legalize cloning or to make it constitutional in the state of Missouri.
Make no mistake.
That's what it does.
That's what the Michael J. Fox ad is actually about, cloning embryos.
It's a cloning amendment.
They're hiding behind stem cell because they know that there is an emotional attachment to stem cell research, because there are a lot of people with horrible diseases or afflicted by it, who have been led to believe falsely by Democrats that there's a cure out there if we only get Republicans out of the way and start research.
This is as mean and as cruel a thing as I have seen, and they are doing it willingly while trying to make me out to be the incarnation of evil walking the planet.
They're not even defending Michael J. Fox.
By the way, I am told that the Michael J. Fox ad was pulled and not run during the World Series last night.
That instead some college professor, dean or whatever, spoke up for Claire McCaskill on the issue, but the Michael J. Fox ad didn't run in the World Series last.
I don't know if it was scheduled to.
Implication that I have is it was, but I don't know that for sure.
But uh all I'm saying, if that ad were working, that ad would still be running.
That ad is not working, uh, and it's not going to work in Maryland.
We have the audio of the Michael Steele ad.
Fact, lips, you have that handy, Mike.
All right, we find we got the audio, the Michael Steele ad because the Fox ads running in Maryland now for Ben Cardin, and Michael Steele, the Republican, answered it with this ad.
I'm Michael Steele, and I approve this message.
I'm Dr. Monica Turner.
Congressman Ben Cardin is attacking Michael Steele with deceptive, tasteless ads.
He is using the victim of a terrible disease to frighten people, all for his own political gain.
Mr. Cardin should be ashamed.
There's something you should know about Michael Steele.
He does support stem cell research, and he cares deeply for those who suffer from disease.
How do I know?
I'm Michael Steele's little sister.
I have MS. And I know he cares about me.
That's the ad that just broke today in Maryland.
Michael Steele, Republican Canada has pulled even with Ben Cardin in a two-to-one Democrat blue state.
Ben Cardin, the beneficiary of the Michael J. Fox ad.
Uh Ben Cardin has voted against stem cell research.
Now the Democrats and the drive-by media not defending Michael Fox.
They are defending cloning.
They're defending abortion.
They are defending embryonic stem cell research.
They are not defending Michael J. Fox.
If they were really cared about Michael J. Fox, they would be denouncing the manner in which he's been used and exploited in this whole process.
They'd be attacking the manner in which scientific research is now being politicized.
They were thrilled when John Edwards lied through his teeth about cures from embryonic stem cell research to make Christopher Reeve walk.
People love that.
Total lie.
Such a sickening lie, but it scored for the Democrats, they think, so the drive-by media promoted it, and they thought it would work again.
But this time they are being stood up to By me.
They are being challenged by me.
They are being questioned by me, and they don't like it.
Look at folks.
They lied about Hurricane Katrina and practically every aspect of it.
They continually lie about the war in Iraq.
They lied about Carl Rove and the Valerie Plane matter.
They lied about Bush's National Guard records, did worse than lie.
They created forged documents.
When it was proved they were forged, they circled the wagons around Dan Rather and gave him Pulitzer Prize or Peabody Award or whatever.
They lie about the economy all the time.
They lie about our judicial nominees, claiming that well Bork to pick one.
They lied about Bolton.
They lie about Donald Rumsfeld.
They lie.
And they carry the water for the Democrat Party.
Back in just a moment.
It's open line Friday.
And by popular demand.
I am once again reviewing some of the drive-by media tactics in the entire stem cell cloning debate, Michael J. Fox ad, and so forth.
Keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, who it is that we are talking about, and remember your outrage when each of these events happened.
They lied through their teeth about Hurricane Katrina, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, they gave themselves awards.
They continually lie about Iraq in every which way possible.
They lied about Carl Rove and the Valerie Plame matter.
They lied about George Bush and his National Guard records for four years, finally resorted to forged documents at CBS.
Who's gone?
Dan Rather is gone.
George W. Bush is still in the White House.
They lie about the economy routinely.
They lie about our judicial nominees.
Every judicial nominee that is put forth by George W. Bush is going to turn back the clock on women's rights, civil rights, human rights, every nominee.
They attempt to ruin.
They don't just disagree.
They attempt to ruin people, ladies and gentlemen.
They tried to ruin Robert Bork.
They tried to ruin every judicial nominee that a Republican president has put forth.
That is their tactic.
One of the Clinton's favorite tactics, by the way, don't just defeat, destroy, eliminate them forever.
They are trying to destroy me.
The advantage I have is I have you.
And we have a bond of connection.
And I have a three-hour radio program every day to refute these people.
Most people don't.
They have lied about John Bolton, who was a perfectly fine man, tried to destroy John Bolton.
They have tried to destroy Donald Rumsfeld, a perfectly fine man.
A tremendous and great and devoted public servant.
They have tried to ruin Donald Rumsfeld.
They have lied about Halliburton.
They have lied about oil profits.
They lie about taxes.
They lie about themselves.
They carry the water for the Democrats, the liberal elites, for people who are anti-capitalism, for the appeasement crowd, the Western Socialists of Europe.
When somebody stands up to them and questions them and their tactics, they don't just try to intimidate them, they try to ruin them.
This whole week, there have been literally hundreds of stories about me.
About me.
They're not focused on the phony science involving embryos.
They're not telling us the truth that amendment two in Missouri is a cloning amendment.
Do you know stem cell research is legal in Missouri?
It's happening at the university.
That's legal.
Stem cell research is legal, Michael J. Fox is it not.
Michael J. Fox is ta Jim Tallant wants to criminalize it.
They lie, folks.
They're not focused on the dirty trick of running these ads at the last minute in close races.
The media is not focused on the fact that they are lying about the records of the Republicans being tarred in these ads.
There's nothing substantive about what you've seen all week on television about this issue.
This story has been about me.
For reasons that we have discussed.
They don't quote Michael J. Fox from his own book.
They pretend that these campaign ads, that's what they are, Democrat campaign ads, are untouchable news stories.
That Michael Fox is a nonpartisan advocate.
That these are basically public service announcements.
We all know how these ads get put together.
They don't just happen.
They aren't ads by some nonprofit health-related organization.
These ads are produced by Democrats.
They are paid for by Democrat campaigns.
The ads are scripted by Democrat campaigns.
Democrat campaigns hire the directors, the producers, the writers.
Democrat campaigns determine who will be in the ad, music in the ad, the scenery in the ad, how the ad's gonna look, they determine how many takes in order to get exactly what they want.
Republicans do too, but we're being led to believe that we're just watching public service announcements, last minute desire to help, go into a studio, roll tape, got commercial put on air.
Doesn't happen that way.
They want us to believe these are public service ads, nonpolitical, nonpartisan, objective ads.
They want you to believe it none of this is contrived.
They don't want you to know how this process works.
They don't want you to know who's behind it and what kind of thinking goes into all this.
So the media, demanding that we all roll over.
Beg forgiveness, continually apologize.
Resign.
Go away, skulk away, tail between the legs, never to be seen again.
Asking, how can you dare show yourself in public?
They want us to take our losses in these close campaigns.
They want us to give up.
They want us to be intimidated, they want us to be embarrassed, they want us to quit.
That's what they demand.
Well, you know me.
Hell no, it isn't happening.
And you are saying the same thing.
How many times have things like this happened and you have just hoped that the people you've elected would stand up and fight back against this crap?
Well, I'm with you.
Well, I'm in the position where I can, because I don't have to get votes.
I'm not limited by that.
Plus I'm not limited by what people are going to think of me.
I don't care what people think of me, because I can't control it.
And I know that some are not going to like me just on principle because they don't even know who I am, so it's not something I worry about.
But others in politics, I have to get worried about what people think of them.
They have PR campaigns and image campaigns to go out and make them something, and their whole lives are built on establishing a media image that has to be cultivated, massaged the rest of their lives.
Screw it.
Easier to be who you are.
Now they can attack me all they want.
They can play you for fools all they want.
They can try to promote the Democrats' embryonic stem cell research, cloning ruse all they want.
They can try to promote their entire left wing agenda all they want, but now they do so at a price.
There's no monopoly any longer.
They don't get to decide elections without a fight.
They don't get to mock Republican presidents and Republican candidates without a fight.
Talk about mocking.
Look at what they have said about George W. Bush.
Look at the caricatures that they have written and published about Condoleezza Rice.
And they dare.
They dare accuse me in a false manner of doing that.
They make it up.
They take things out of context.
They accuse me of doing what they are the champions of doing.
Mocking, making fun of.
The last five years we've grown sick and tired of it.
They have no respect for anybody, no respect for their opponents, no respect.
They don't dare debate ideas.
They only can impugn.
Attack, smear, and destroy.
They don't get to decide elections without a fight.
They don't get to mock Republicans without a fight.
They don't get to push a left wing agenda without a fight now.
They don't get to undermine the war effort without a fight.
They got to do that in the Vietnam War era, but they're not getting a free fight on that now.
Those days are over, and they're having a hissy fit.
That they don't control the agenda any longer.
They tell us that this election is over months before a single vote is cast.
They've told us the election is over since March.
They told us in June it was over.
They told us in July it was over.
They told us when the Mark Foley scandal hit, which they were behind.
It's over.
Sorry, we haven't voted yet, drive by media.
This election hasn't even begun.
They tell us we've lost an Iraq.
Well, a hundred and forty thousand brave soldiers are over there fighting the enemy.
They're wrong.
They tell us that Mark Foley is us, it represents us.
They are wrong.
They tell us, they try to tell us what we are supposed to think and believe.
They demand that we adhere to their agenda and views, or they will mock us and they will smear us and they will try to ruin us.
Ask George Allen.
Ask Michael Steele.
Ask Rick Santorum.
Ask Denny Hastert.
All of these people, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Ed Meese, George Bush, Carl Rove, ask any of them.
What has been attempted is the utter ruination of each of these people.
Meanwhile, here's old Jim Webb and his perverted novels.
Passages of which we read in the first part of the program today in the first hour.
The Washington Post has been the veritable campaign headquarters for Jim Webb.
For weeks we got stories about Makaka and his devotion to the Confederate flag and how rotten he looks in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.
And how he can't pull it off.
Denny Hastard was supposed to resign over what Mark Foley did.
Democrats actually had a member of Congress have sex with a page.
He died recently.
He's a hero.
Danny Hastert has to resign.
Did Denny Hastert ever write a book?
Like Jim Webb has written many.
Who in the Democratic Party knew about Jim Webb's proclivity to write such things in novels?
Why didn't somebody say anything?
Why is it only coming out now?
How could should Pelosi resign?
What did she know?
Should Dingy Harry resign?
The minority leader in the Senate.
Well, that's what they say about Denny Hastert.
Anyone who dares to stand up to them, anybody who challenges them, actually practice conservatism and defend liberty and faith in the Constitution and capitalism becomes the target of their wrath.
But it is a new day, folks, because people are not imitated or intimated and intimidated any longer.
People are not cowering any longer.
And we're not going to abide by it.
They are lying to the sick in America.
They are creating cruel false hopes.
Mr. Fox on Carrot Katie Couric show last night said some incredible things.
He has said disease is a nonpartisan problem that requires a bipartisan solution.
The only person I'm aware of said that all week is me.
He's not acting in a bipartisan fashion.
He's running commercials exclusively for Democrats.
He doesn't think he hasn't said this is bipartisan except until last night.
I'm the one who has said there's a tradition of bipartisan approach to the curing and research of deadly afflictions and diseases.
And that this is politicizing it.
Now only Democrats care about Parkinson's.
Now only Democrats care about spinal disease.
Now only Democrats care about Alzheimer's.
That's the message of the Democratic Party in this campaign.
Mr. Fox last night, though, says he thinks it should be bipartisan.
He said, you know what, I don't really care about politics.
Really?
What do you do in running ads for Democrats in Missouri and Maryland, maybe Virginia and Wisconsin?
I don't really care about politics.
We want to appeal to voters to elect the people that are going to give us a margin so we can't be vetoed again.
Don't care about politics.
I want to be bipartisan, but I want a veto-proof majority.
That's what he said in his interview with Katie Couric last night.
There is no critical analysis of this.
In fact, this is being portrayed as big.
He's bipartisan.
He doesn't care about politics.
And he wants a veto proof majority.
They're hailing these comments as Clinton-esque and Obama-esque.
When there is contradictory and untrue as much of the rest that was in his ad quick email that I got.
Friend got this email from a friend in St. Louis that has passed on to me.
What Rush did to the left with the MJ Fox ads here in Missouri is nothing short of amazing.
There are actual Democrats in the second most corrupt county in America, Pike County, Missouri, who are ashamed now that their disgusting, shameless lies about stem cell research, because it's nothing more than an amendment to legalize human cloning, have been exposed.
Claire McCaskill is losing ground fast.
Missouri Republicans are breaking glass now to show these pathetic Democrats who the real men are when it comes to elections on November 7th.
I only read this to you because the news is that Amendment 2 is soaring big that this has totally destroyed Jim Talent's campaign.
The exact opposite is true.
Not running the Michael J. Fox commercial anymore, are they?
Open line Friday back to the phones, and Stephen in Alton, Illinois.
Nice to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Megadiddles Rush from the uh home of the world's tallest man and from another rush baby.
Thank you very much, sir.
Yeah, uh I'm actually a little late for work, so I'm gonna get right to my point.
And that would be that I would actually like to place at least blame for some of these cut and run conservatives on you.
And uh the reason for that would be is that there are so many more people now who understand and who are beginning to understand what the legitimate role of government is in a free society, and that's a large part to do because of you.
You provide a tremendous amount of information and uh uh on understanding the Constitution for all that it is worth, and politicians no longer get away with doing their job, um, you know, as it should not be.
We got to cut to the chase here.
So because I've done such a great job of educating and informing people, if the Republicans lose, I am gonna have to shoulder the blame.
No, not exactly.
Uh, I don't agree with the conclusion that some of these people are trying to do to get politicians to do their correct job.
Um and and I don't think that, and just like you've mentioned previously, I don't think that there are as many cut-and-run conservatives as it's been a good thing.
And that's the point.
I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of cut-and-run conservatives, especially with the things that have happened since the whole concept of cut-and-run conservatives was first advanced by me.
Uh there's plenty out there.
New Jersey legalizing gay marriage.
The specter of Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco as the Speaker of the House.
Uh, hello, Republican base.
Uh this travesty of a campaign in Missouri that is hiding a cloning amendment to a constitution of the state of Missouri behind a phony stem cell argument.
Uh hello values voters.
Uh the left is worried about all of these things, too.
This this you have to understand this there's some you've got some libertarians out there who are always mad, and you've got some Buchanan brigades people that are always mad in the elections and claiming they're not going to vote.
Uh, but a lot of people mad about immigration.
It says I told you, if it weren't for the Republicans in the House, we would have an amnesty bill already in this country for however number of illegal immigrants there are.
And if it weren't for the Republicans in the House, we wouldn't have this fence bill signed yesterday.
Now I know it's not funded yet, but we wouldn't have even had what we have on that.
We would have amnesty if it weren't for the Republicans in the House.
So I understand this program is educated and informed and uh got a lot of people excited over the years about the mission of conservatism in life and in uh in government.
Along with that education comes a tempered understanding of the pace at which things happen.
Uh it's the Democrats that have been losing elections lately, and yet it's the Republicans who are able to be deflated and depressed.
And it came on the heels of the Foley story, and the media immediately began a Democrats began a campaign.
Oh, the Republicans are going to vote now.
They got gays in their party.
Yeah.
Those people smoking cigarettes and drinking beer in the Road House tavern down in Tennessee at midnight on Friday.
They just figured out there are gays in the Republican Party, and that was their dream.
They do not understand values voters.
They don't understand Christians, they don't understand people who live in the South.
Folks, they don't understand America.
Well, it's been a blast all week, folks, and I'm sure the weekend will bring um uh more reason to continue blast off next week.
So we'll be back on Monday, revved up and raring to go.
Look forward to seeing you then.
