Time Text
I have just been alerted to a post at uh what is this?
Www.democrats.org, a Democrat Party website.
Take a day off for democracy.
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you with us, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
We come to you from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies telephone number if you'd like to join us, 800 282-2882.
And of course, you can go the email route by uh all means.
That's Rush at EIBNet.com.
Yep, take a day off for democracy.
This is a historic election.
And by planning ahead now, you can have an incredible impact.
If you commit to taking the day off on Tuesday, November 7th, our staff will commit to making sure you have the resources and contacts you need to spend a full day immersed in our democracy.
Let us know that you can take the day off on election day, November 7th.
And then there's a form you fill out, send it back to them, submit it, and this is uh obviously part of their get out the vote take.
This is this is tempting.
Can you imagine going to work where you work and there'd be no liberals that day?
The thing that struck me was that I didn't know that many liberals worked anyway or Democrats, uh that many of them to uh take the day off.
Take the day off for democracy.
Yeah, you go into your boss, yeah, but take the day off today.
I'm taking the day off for democracy.
Yeah, how's that?
Well, I'm gonna be one of the helping uh Democrats get uh people out to the polls and uh win the election that bosses how much are they paying you?
Oh, nothing.
I'm volunteering, and I'm volunteering for democracy.
Now we got the Family Medical Leave Act.
Uh you Democrats are gonna do this.
Let me help you out here.
Don't don't tell them why you want the day off.
Don't go in there and say that.
If you want the day off, just go in and and and and uh you know, say your your your grandmother's social security check didn't clear, you're gonna you you're sick.
Um they'll believe that, because they see you every day.
Uh but if you tell them you're gonna take the day off, uh it might not succeed.
So they're really uh rolling things up.
By the way, folks, do you know?
You know who the first um senator was to call on Trent Lott to resign his leadership post.
The first senator to call on Trent Lott to resign his leadership post after the Strom Thurman flap was John Kerry.
John Forbes Carey, Andy McCarthy at uh National Review Online.
This is really a nice piece.
I'm I'm gonna read part of it to you, but this is not the primary reason I'm reading it to you.
With due respect to those who suggested otherwise, the carry story is not over.
The Senator is now issued what I predicted yesterday, which is not rocket science, that would be an apology wherein he asserted not that he was sorry for having said something vile, but that he regretted that we numbskulls misinterpreted his remarks to wrongly imply anything negative about our troops.
This, of course, was version four or so.
Kerry having dragged kicking and screaming to this point, only after first defiantly compounding the offense, then I was tired backtracking, then it was uh joke dissembling.
Uh meanwhile, for nearly two weeks, uh now Rush Limbaugh has been castigated for something he didn't do, uh i.e.
make fun of Michael J. Fox's struggle with a debilitating disease, as opposed to suggesting that Fox had intentionally not taken his meds to exacerbate his condition for the purpose of a public political political appearance, something Fox has admitted to doing in the past.
National Democrats, including Kerry as late as two days ago, and the national media, including the White House press corps as late as yesterday, first misconstrued Russia's remarks and ignored the lengthy, generally unassailable argument from which they were drawn, to wit that even those for whom we have sympathy cannot expect immunity from criticism when they enter the political arena.
Then they demanded an apology to keep the story alive.
Then they misrepresented the apology that came, which we have discussed, And then once Kerry got himself in hot water, they switched gears and claimed the apology they had been gleefully chirping about for several days that I had given had not actually happened, such that Kerry should now not have to apologize unless Russia apologized.
None of this is surprising.
This is competitive politics.
But here is the real point of Andy McCarthy's post.
Why would the side the Republicans?
Why would the Republicans, the side that's behind, stop drawing attention to a revealing gaff, indeed a gaff by the other side's last national standard bearer, just because the opposition now says on the basis of Kerry's lawyerly worded apology that it's now time to put all this behind us and get back to the important business of kicking the stuffing out of Bush.
In other words, what McCarthy's saying here, Democrats can say it's over all they want, but why should the Republicans agree?
Why should the Republicans say, Yeah, okay, we're satisfied, that's it.
Now we can move on to defending Bush as you attack uh as you attack him.
Why would the side that's behind stop drawing attention to this gaff of carries just because the Democrats say it's time to put all this behind us.
I think Andy was there were there were a lot of people at National Review Online posting on their blog that were saying, okay, apology is good enough for me, let's let's move on.
And he's why?
Well, I mean, we've we've got we've got a gold mine here.
This is who the Democrat Party is.
This is the reason.
They are not fit to serve what Kerry said, he's just the latest in a long line.
What Kerry said about the U.S. military at a time of war, the war on terror, at a time of national security being a prominent issue.
They are not qualified to defend this country and to and to represent the nation's national security.
They haven't earned that.
This is the one reason, the primary reason they do not deserve to win this election.
It's the one reason they deserve to lose it.
And it is an issue that's been handed to us on a silver platter by Kerry himself, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2004 for crying out loud, uh, just two years ago.
So why drop it?
As an illustration.
Fascinating story today in the uh in the Washington Post.
You remember the plot in London that was uncovered.
These Islamo fascists uh were going to the thing that resulted in you not being able to take a bottle of water or shaving cream gel, whatever on board an airplane for a while.
Uh the original story we got was that these Islamo fascists are going to hijack a bunch of airplanes and blow them up over the ocean.
On their way to the United States, as many as ten airplanes.
Well, not so.
A group of alleged terrorists arrested in London in August plan to blow up airliners over U.S. cities to maximize casualties rather than over the Atlantic Ocean, as many intelligence officials originally thought, this according to recent remarks by an FBI official.
The comments by Mark Mershin, head of the FBI's New York field office indicate that U.S. and British intelligence officials now think that the airliner plot was aimed at maximizing the potential loss of life and economic impact.
The plan was to bring them down over U.S. cities, not over the ocean, Mershan said on October 24th at the Info Security 2006 conference in New York.
This, according to government security news, which first reported the remarks this week.
This obviously has been learned from uh interrogating these suspects.
Oh, I wonder if they were waterboarded.
So the threat hasn't diminished.
The threat is every bit as real as it ever has been.
In fact, it was uh I think foreign surveillance uh program, intercept program, uh, that was helpful in uncovering this plot and preventing it from taking place.
The Democrats are trying to shut that plan down.
They're trying to take people to court.
The Democrats, I'm gonna tell you something, folks, they are waiting in the wings with subpoenas.
Henry Waxman will be a congreg uh committee chairman.
He cannot wait.
The Democrats cannot wait to start examining decisions made by this country in fighting the war on terror and the war on Iraq, make I don't care what Pelosi says, she go out there and say no impeachment hearings are not going to do that.
She's not going to be able to ride herd over these mad caps That have been frustrated since 1994 of not being in power, and they are waiting in the wings as subpoenas.
They are going to do everything they can to undermine what this administration has done.
That is who they are.
It is the primary reason they deserve to lose the election.
And it is a primary reason as well why this carry flap should not be discarded by the Republicans because it provides them.
And you know the here's another thing.
And it's really frustrating.
The reason Pelosi, and the reason Reed, the reason all these guys are absent is because they don't want this kind of talk in the last two weeks before the election.
That's why I don't know who sent Kerry the message to apologize.
Somebody got to him.
I I'm guessing it was Chuck Schumer, because I don't think John Kerry would listen to Nancy Pelosi.
I think if Pelosi's office called John Kerry, she'd hang up on him.
Or he'd hang up on her.
I'm not gonna listen to some underling in the lower body.
Who do you think you are?
And who do you think I am?
Click.
So it'd have to be somebody like Schumer.
Um by the way, this AP story that's out today chronicling these uh comments that Kerry made in 1972.
You can't tell me the AP didn't know about this in 2004.
You can't tell me this stuff just been discovered.
What Kerry said about an all-volunteer army being a bunch of murderous thugs made up of the the brownest and the blackest and the poorest.
By the way, is there any racism in that?
No, I'm just talking about the disadvantaged.
They're the ones who would.
Well, whatever.
You can't convince me that this stuff was just discovered.
Uh we If you ask me, somebody in the Democrat Party sent this stuff out.
It's got the FBI reports are part of that story.
When I hear FBI files of reports, I think Clinton, I'm sorry.
They had 500 of them in the White House.
Nine hundred.
Nine hundred of them.
I know how the Clintons operate.
They provide insurance for themselves by getting the goods on their potential enemies.
And they threaten to use the stuff.
So I'm I uh you know, th this this is they're trying to take Kerry out.
They're trying to take Kerry out of this cycle, and they're trying to take him out of 08, which is a fate accomplished anyway.
He never had a chance in 2008 anyway, suffering delusions, but he thought he had a chance.
This kills it, because the Democrats are the ones that uh want him to shut up, and they want him to shut up precisely because they know this hurts them.
That's why the Republicans ought not back off of this.
That's why the Republicans and you don't have to make it about Kerry.
You can simply say Carrie tells us who they are.
Sometimes I wish I were running campaigns.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
All right, we have reposted the uh little email I sent Katie Couric that she requested from me, stipulating my positions on the Michael J. Fox flap prior to her interview of him.
She used about one percent of it, less than that.
But it's posted up there at uh at Rushlimbaugh.com, very near the link to uh our interview with uh President Bush.
And you gotta listen to this, folks.
This was this morning on PMSNBC.
They're running their week-long telethon to cure the nation of the evil disease known as the Republican majority.
Nora O'Donnell, about whom I used to say her bathwater couldn't possibly stink.
I have since retracted that.
She's talking with NBC's reporter uh Jocelyn Jordan about my interview with President Bush.
Now, and they were watching yesterday, obviously.
I had the interview with President Bush.
Now the President Bush interview was taped.
So I was sitting in here listening to it with you, uh Ditto Cam was on, and they're watching me listen to the interview with Bush and they comment on this.
Uh this is uh Nora O'Donnell.
She says, We heard the president yesterday on the Rush Limbaugh program hitting the Senator Kerry thing pretty hard.
This is before Senator Kerry apologized, but let's just take a quick listen to what he says.
So she rolls the ditto cam tape, and I am puffing away on my cigar at this moment, as I am doing now.
This is a little exchange that she had with uh the info vabe, Rosalind Jordan.
It's great to see Rush Limbaugh smoking on his stogie there and his guy.
That's the message you want to send to your kids at home in a smoke all you're on the radio.
But anyway, moving on.
How how how would you inter how would you interpret that, Mr. Snerdler?
You're an expert on women.
Uh how how would you in turn Don, how would you you're a bigger expert on women.
How how would you it's great to see Rush Limbaugh smoking on his stoking there?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Uh and then uh the real thing I wanted to comment on was the reporter, Roslyn Jordan, not a message you want to send to your kids at home.
Smoke on the radio.
Uh Rosalind, I don't have kids at home or anywhere else that I know of.
Just kidding, Brian, don't they they roll their eyes at some of the things I say.
Well, you know something, uh Rosalind.
I would much rather have kids at home or anywhere else watch and listen to my program than listen to the bilge that the drive-by media is putting out about this country and a U.S. military and some of the other things, and the president of the United States.
I sure as hell wouldn't want my kids to sit in and watch and listen to the daily insults that media people throw out at George W. Bush each and every day.
I'd much rather have them watching me enjoy a fine hand-made product.
And I know how this cigar, they roll these things in various parts of the female body.
Ladies and you've heard the story about how cigars are made.
All right, Jupiter, Florida, right up the road from the EIB Southern Command.
This is Mark.
Nice to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Hey, make it dinner, Srush.
Uh yeah down here today.
Uh I'm calling about um the AP story regarding uh the winter soldiers' remarks in 1971.
I picked up on it this morning, and you just touched on uh on uh what I what I uh my thoughts about it a few moments ago.
If John Carey thinks that an all-volunteer professional sperming army made up mostly of minorities is more uh more prone to committing atrocities, then doesn't it follow that John Carey thinks that minorities are going to be more prone to committing atrocities?
Well, you know, Snerdley thought the same thing.
He sent me a little note.
Uh uh I want to be fair to Senator Kerry, since he's so often unfair to himself.
Um let's go through this.
He says, I'm convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown.
We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam.
I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply doing its job.
Now, you are inferring that he means a volunteer army of poor black and brown are going to result uh in be they're gonna become perpetu uh uh uh killers, uh uh people who commit war crimes.
And you're you're you're assuming that that's a very racist statement, correct?
Well, it it certainly uh it leads that way, doesn't it?
I mean it it's you know one follows the other if that's the composition of the armed forces, and he's implying that they're going to commit more atrocities than you know, the unfortunate is made up of people.
So it it logically follows that if we uh Well, those kind of people we get more atrocities.
I understand that, but I know liberals, and I actually don't uh I'm I'm not against anybody inferring that, by the way.
But I think Kerry was talking about two things here in this one paragraph.
I'm convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown.
And that's so liberal.
What he's saying is that only the disadvantaged, the poor, the hungry, the thirsty...
Uh will be part of uh the army because nobody with their right mind would ever join.
Nobody in their right mind and nobody with an economic future would ever join.
It's the ultimate put down.
And he did it in 72, he did it this week.
He thinks that people who join the army are a bunch of squids.
They are idiots.
Stop.
He has this view that that's who the the the the poor in this country are the the brown, the black, and the poor.
Then I think it's another statement.
He says we must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam.
I also and it that's actually part of the first statement.
Then the next one is I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply doing his job.
You'd have to assume he means a professional army is a volunteer army.
Okay, well if he if he thinks then you're right.
If he thinks a professional army is a volunteer army as opposed to an army that's comprised via conscription of the draft, uh then it's hard to separate these two statements.
No matter how you interpret it, it's still devastating in terms of spelling out not just for Senator Kerry, but for the entire Democrat Party, how they view the American culture and society and particularly the American military.
We will be back in a sec.
All right, let's review some questions about the Kerry apology, ladies and gentlemen.
Did Senator Kerry apologize for this insult to the troops or for all of his past insults to the troops?
What was he apologizing for?
And did he really apologize, or did he once again blame a bunch of plebes and rubes for not having the brains to figure out what he meant?
Who in the Democrat Party forced Kerry to apologize?
It couldn't be Pelosi or Reed because he considers them to be beneath him.
Could it have been Ted Kennedy who called him up?
Could it have been Hillary?
Might it have been their Schlieckmeister himself, Bill Clinton who called John Kerry?
Could it have been Theresa Hines Carey and follow the money?
Could it have been Chuck Schumer?
Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Another question, why didn't Kerry orate his apology?
John Kerry is famous for a lot of things, infamous too.
And one of those things is for long tortured, boring oratory.
But he apologized online.
He apologized on his own website.
Does he actually think 140,000 troops go to his website?
Or 1,000 troops.
How many troops does he think actually visit his website?
So he was relying on the drive-by media to report his apology.
Uh does Kerry realize he was finally done in by a swift boater himself.
Kerry was a swift boat veteran, too.
And he's done himself in as a Swift voter.
Should uh should Chris Matthews apologize for not being influential enough to save Kerry's rear end from an apology.
There were there were a lot of people who didn't think he should have apologized, but those people didn't have the influence with Senator Kerry.
So all of these relevant questions.
Here's Don and Phoenix.
Thank you for waiting, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, ditto's rush.
Thank you.
This is fantastic.
I can't believe it.
First time caller.
Well, congratulations, and glad you got through.
Oh, this is great.
Listen, I was uh channel surfing and I I came across M M FNBC and I saw Pat Buchanan on it, and I don't watch that channel, don't listen to news, can't stand them.
But uh I just happened to hear that they were talking about the polls, and they were saying that the war in Iraq is now considered by the majority as being unwinnable, and Buchanan was pretty much agreeing with them.
And I was so furious that these people would set on there and undermine us because uh, you know, the Democrats they didn't believe we could win in Korea, they didn't believe we could win in Vietnam.
I'm a Vietnam vet, and we never lost anything over.
Wait a second.
They don't they didn't think we can win the Gulf War in ninety one.
No, they didn't believe Granada.
They don't think we could be able to do that.
Oh, we had a yeah.
They don't think we could beat North Korea.
They don't think we could be every time some of this comes up, they start ordering the body bags.
They are defeatists, you are exactly right.
But this is not new for Pat.
No, it isn't, and I'm very disappointed.
But I have a question for him.
All right.
Just exactly where do they think we can win?
Off the shores of California and Florida?
Where are we gonna fight then?
If we can't defeat the enemy in that little country of Iraq, just where do they think our military can win?
If they're so pro military, where do they think we've got the power to act flexible?
No, no.
Steady, steady.
I know, I know.
No, you're you're gonna you're asking you're asking great questions.
I just want to try to save your blood pressure here.
Okay.
Uh the The bottom line, you're they don't think we can win, and furthermore, they don't think we should.
No, they don't.
And I want to ask the people on the conservative side, if you don't vote, what do you think you're gonna get?
If you said at home, you're electing people that don't believe your country's worth saving and don't believe it can be defended.
Well, I got a family, and I'm sorry, but I think that's stupid.
Don't apologize for that.
I mean, look at I'm I'm I can hear the frustration in your uh in your voice.
Uh we all feel it.
I'm not sure that this uh cut-and-run conservative crowd's all that big anyway.
By the way, you know something?
The New York Times really worried.
New York Times has a front page story today about the impossible, and that is the Republicans holding the Foley seat.
Why, this is pulled into a dead heat.
Well, you know what I think of polls.
Well, I know, but that's that's the they believe them is always my point.
Yeah, I know.
I'm what I'm I'm suggesting to you here is that the whole concept of of conservative uh uh voters staying home was born of the Foley scandal.
Exactly.
All right, well, what happens if the Republicans hold the Foley seat, which I predicted, but I want people to remember this.
I predicted within the first couple of days of this that the Republicans would hold that seat.
It is a you don't think so, Sturdley?
It is it is a huge, huge Republican majority in this district.
These people are not idiots.
The guy that you just heard from Jupiter, Florida is uh is is close, I think is in that district.
Um these people are not idiots.
The whole concept of of of uh Republican turnout being suppressed was born of Foley.
Now, uh Foley is is uh is not on the front page anymore.
It's that's gone.
They had to fire that shot a little earlier than they wanted to.
So what is it that's going to suppress Republican vote?
Uh I I some people still have the opinion that uh there's less enthusiasm among Republicans, but I see all the early voting out there trending Republican.
And I see the uh absentees as reported by Republicans are trending Republican.
So I don't know, I don't know where this evidence is that there is uh uh not a whole lot of uh uh interest on the Republican side.
There's some, I'm sure in in certain states.
In Republicans in California, I mean it's you know why vote uh state is so Democrat-oriented.
There's some states like this, but I I don't um I don't know.
I I I think a lot of what we're hearing is wishful thinking on the uh on the part of uh Democrats.
Here's folks, I must I must be honest with you here.
I th one of the things that surprises me, and and before I tell you that, let me set it up by saying, and you've been listening all year, and the the past two years, past eighteen years.
But uh speaking specifically of the past two years.
You all remember, you all heard how vicious, mean, filled with rage and hatred the Democrats are.
You all remember how unbecoming it was.
We all were of the opinion that what they were doing was designed solely to sew up their base, but that they weren't reaching out.
They weren't, they weren't doing it.
In fact, their Hispanic outreach hasn't worked.
That's in the paper today.
Get that to you in due course.
What were they doing to build a movement?
What were they doing to inspire people?
What were they doing to prompt all of this uh energy on their side?
Nothing but promoting a bunch of literal hate and insanity.
And throughout this entire year, I have people have been asking me as they read the polls, you think the Republicans is gonna hold the house, and I I I've never had any doubt until the last two weeks.
I've never had any doubt the Republic I I because you know I live in my universe here, and I know that all of you are you're the most informed audience in this country, the most informed media audience in this country, according to the Pew Research Center.
You know what's going on out there.
And I just am finding it tough to believe it in the last two weeks.
A bunch of people who have known full well what the Democrats are.
What you just said, that they cannot be trusted with national security right now, That they've tried to undermine elements of victory against this particular enemy.
I can't believe it in the last two to three weeks, those same people are all of a sudden being swayed by a Democrat message.
Now, if it's if it's true, then the Democrat message that's swaying them is not a Democrat message.
It's a conservative message.
Harold Ford say, I love Jesus, I'm pro-life, I've always been pro-life.
I'm for tax cuts.
I mean, that's not who Democrats are.
Uh it's some of this just doesn't it doesn't gel.
Uh I the opinion I've had for this, let's just talk about the last six months, because that's pretty relevant.
The last six months, my opinion of uh of all of this has been that the American people are not fooled by who the Democrats are, what they're saying.
I've always thought that if Republicans were in trouble, it was because of them.
It was because of various issue-oriented things that the Republicans voters were disappointed on.
They campaigned as conservatives who didn't govern that way.
Spending, immigration, you know, individual issues.
Republicans elect people on the basis of issues.
And there's no question that they've been angry at Republicans.
But I always thought, maybe uh been overly optimistic about this, but I've always thought that when it came to crunch time, going actually into the polling place and voting, that people would realize what what's at stake, what you just said.
If we can't beat these people, if the Democrats don't think we can beat these people in a rock or anywhere else, can we beat them off the off the coast of Florida or New York?
Can't we beat them in this country?
Are we going to elect people who don't think the United States is worth defending?
Are we going to elect people that don't think the United States can achieve victory?
Are we going to elect people who think the United States is immoral in victory?
Because it's unfair because we're so big and we steal so much of the world's resources and we're so selfish.
Are we going to elect a political party on the basis of hate and rep are we just going to forget that when we go into the polls and voting places on Tuesday and thinking about our anger at Republicans and so forth?
I've I've always thought that that would not be the case.
Yet we're being inundated every hour of every day from drive-by media that that is the case.
Not only are they talking about Republicans losing, they're now starting to talk about how this country loves the Democrats.
And I'm sorry, folks, but I don't believe it and I don't see it.
The Democrats haven't done anything to earn this victory.
The Republicans may have done things to deserve losing.
But I even tried to explain that away.
It's tough for conservatives in the House to be conservative when their president is isn't as conservative as they are.
Issue by issue by issue.
For example, you who uh hold the immigration issue as your first and foremost important issue.
You realize if it if if the if the Democrats win the House, we're gonna get an amnesty program.
It will happen.
They will vote for it.
It's the Republicans in the House who have provided the only reason that we don't have amnesty now.
They stood up to the Senate bill.
I've always assumed, at least people of this audience are bright enough, informed enough to figure all this out and not be swayed by the daily onslaught of drive-by media.
That's why I watched this stuff, and so much of it just doesn't click with me intellectually.
None of it makes sense.
The portrayal of Republican voters doesn't make sense in terms of the way I understand Republican voters and conservatives.
And that's what that frankly is what has me scratching my head, and I'm sure a lot of you too, as our last two callers have expressed it.
Anyway, on a little long here, not too long, but just a little long.
Really haven't botched a programming format yet.
So we'll take a break and be back after this.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, I had a story in a stack yesterday I didn't get to, and I have that story now.
I'm holding it firmly in my nicotine stained fingers.
Here is, if a Democrats win, here's probably the best explanation for it.
Testosterone levels down in men in the last 20 years.
A new study has found a substantial drop in U.S. men's testosterone levels since the 1980s, but the reasons for the decline remain unclear.
This trend also does not appear to be related to age.
Now, there has been some cell phone research that indicates too much cell phone uh research uh could lead to sterility and uh in men.
Global warming could have been uh one of the reasons for the substantial drop in U.S. men's testosterone.
But uh I I I can think well, I think I'm probably the most fertile man in a well bicycles could be, yeah.
You stop thinking bicycles could be a factor in um testosterone levels drop.
But whatever.
All I know is according to cell phone research, I am the most fertile man in America America because I don't use them.
I literally hate the phone.
I can't uh I literally despise it.
Uh when a phone rings, I I just it panic sits in.
I've got all my ringers turned off at home.
I I mean I don't answer it.
I don't even listen to the answering machine.
I don't know who's called me in the last six months.
The only time I turn on my cell phone's when I want to call somebody, and that happens maybe once every month or two.
I just literally hate it.
So I don't use cell phones.
Uh I'm I'm 99.9% email in my uh in my communication.
It has nothing to do with my hearing, by the way.
I just hate it.
The moment the phone rings and I pick it up, all I can think about is getting off of it.
Anyway, I could go on about this, but I won't.
I'm just telling you, if the Democrats win, this could be one explanation, testosterone levels in men.
How else to explain a country electing a bunch of wimps in wartime?
How else to explain so many men being liberals?
I've always wondered about that.
Who's next on this program?
John in uh Topeka, Kansas.
You're next.
I'm glad you called, sir.
An honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to make a comparison between uh Senator Kerry's apology and Senator Durbin's apology for the uh our troops being Nazis uh deal.
They were basically the same.
They both faulted the dumb Americans for not being able to understand their elitist jokes or their elitist speech.
Yep.
They're elitists.
We're not smart enough to understand what they really said, so they apologize for our misinterpreting what they said.
Exactly.
It's almost as if there's a uh form letter apology that the Democrats use.
Probably so.
Uh now that you mention it.
Bobby in Covington, Louisiana.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Yeah, are you Bobby in Covington, Louisiana?
That's me, Rush.
How are you?
Well, welcome to program.
Bob, great to have you with us here.
Thank you.
Uh my point is is that uh I think I can answer the question regarding why folks are gonna uh uh you know vote the Democratic way, um, even though that the you know the Dems are uh propping up the uh the candidates that appear to be conservative to affect the changes.
That that's where that's what they're thinking is, I believe.
But the the problem is that it's a major deception, and I think it's obvious now because of the uh the carry situation.
You know, their party's trying to silence Gary, they're they're staying away from him, they're talking him down.
They don't do that.
They always stick together.
And I I think the folks in Pennsylvania, especially, uh Missouri, Virginia, Tennessee, I I think they need to understand that since 9-11, things have changed, just like the president said the other day.
Well, that's you know, that's what we've been talking about here for the last 15 minutes.
Well, a lot of us are at a loss to understand why people are forgetting that and don't think it's important, which it just doesn't make sense.
One thing about your point, though, the Democrats think voters are rubs and idiots.
We know they do.
And I wonder if that hasn't explained some of their success.
You know, Republicans appeal to people intellectually on issues, and Democrats go for the emotion and fear and crisis all the time.
And uh it makes me wonder sometimes.
But we're gonna keep plugging away the right way of doing this, regardless of what happens back in just a second.
Talk about this being the year of the woman.
