Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You can't fool me.
That was 35.
It's always 35.
You say 30, and it's always 35.
I've been counting.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome.
Rush Limbaugh, Commanding Officer, Commanding General, the Supreme Commander of Operation Chaos here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Looking forward to speaking to you today.
800-282-2882, the phone number, if you want to be on the program, the email address, lrushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
We have moved radio stations in New Orleans as of today.
We're on WRNO-FM.
That's 99.5-FM.
And it's called Rush Radio, 99.5.
The call letters are WRNO.
Today is our first move.
We'll be playing this program like 18 hours a day for the first couple of weeks to make sure people realize that we're there.
Welcome to WRNO, Rush Radio 99.5.
Did you see, ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama went bowling, went bowling out there to show that he is a regular guy trying to identify with regular people.
He's a left-hander.
Left-handedness.
You know where that stems from?
Poor potty training in the formative years.
Well, I don't care if you're left-handed sturdily.
It's poor potty training in the formative years.
He bowled a 37.
He bowled a 37.
If Gerald Ford had gone bowling and bowled a 37, he would be the butt of endless jokes.
Same thing with any Republican.
This ought to be a PR disaster.
Did you see the videotape of Obama bowling?
I mean, it was gutterball after gutter ball after gutter ball.
It was, as somebody wrote, and I think it was a female blogger, said, you know, we at least want our presidents to be men.
That's a female blogger wrote that.
Big Oil facing the music today, the Ed Markey Committee up on Capitol Hill.
As you know, Big Oil gets $18 billion in tax breaks to fund refinery and exploration and number of things.
It's a long policy.
It's decades old, these tax breaks.
And of course, Democrats are all over television today.
So we've got to end these tax breaks.
This is horrible.
It's horrible.
Folks, you may think they need to end the tax breaks because of Big Oil's profits.
Let me tell you something.
The tax breaks are $18 billion a year.
And if those tax breaks are taken away from big oil, it's not going to affect the price of gasoline at the pump a penny.
It's not going to matter.
You got to get your head on straight about this.
Now, you might want to talk about fairness and so forth and so on, but it's not going to matter the price of the pump.
If you want immediate relief at the pump on the price of gasoline, have the government cut taxes or eliminate them for six months or two months or what have you.
You can do it overnight and do it just like that.
But the government will never ever do it less.
Now, let's contrast Big Oil and what's going on with them today and Bear Stearns.
Because I think this is an interesting comparison.
The government uses tens of billions of our tax dollars to save Bear Stearns.
It wasn't actually a bailout because a lot of stockholders, shareholders in Bear Stearns lost their shirts, but they gave J.P. Morgan the money to buy Bear Stearns at a cut rate.
So in the meantime, now they're talking about taking away the $18 billion of tax breaks from big oil.
And what's the lesson?
The lesson is the government subsidizes failure, i.e. Bear Stearns, and punishes productivity, i.e. big oil.
You know, this is Thomas Soule makes a point today.
101 years ago, J.P. Morgan, the actual John Pierpoint Morgan.
This is a fascinating story, by the way.
My buddy, Marvin Shankin of Cigar Ficionado, did a cover story on J.P. Morgan some time ago, a year, maybe two years ago.
Just fascinating.
J.P. Morgan and his banker buddies bailed out the U.S. government 101 years ago.
That's how much wealth they had.
They bailed out the U.S. government and they did it with their own money.
This time, J.P. Morgan is being heralded as a savior for saving Bear Stearns, but J.P. Morgan did it with your money.
This time, our money.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at me.
I have noticed a battlefield report regarding Operation Chaos at thePolitico.com.
For the purposes of this Operation Chaos update, I'm going to refer to this story as Politico Rose, a propaganda mouthpiece of the enemy.
Here is the headline: Primary shenanigans could backfire.
And here's how the story starts: Could Rush Limbaugh be responsible for tipping the election outcome in a key Republican primary to fill the seat vacated by former Representative Roger Wicker in Mississippi?
That's what some Republican operatives in the state of Mississippi are suggesting.
As part of Operation Chaos, the conservative talk host urged his listeners to vote for Hillary in the Democrat primary in order to draw out the presidential nomination process as long as possible.
But in Mississippi, those party switchers may not have realized the implications of their decision.
The Republicans who voted in last month's Democrat primary now are not allowed to cast ballots in Tuesday's hotly contested runoff between Glenn McCullough, a former chairman of the TVA, and Greg Davis, mayor of one of the fastest-growing towns in the state's first congressional district.
Ladies and gentlemen, this kind of propaganda is to be expected.
The drive-by media now suggesting that we are taking casualties as part of Operation Chaos.
This is what the enemy does in all wars, ladies and gentlemen.
Propaganda, an attempt to dispirit the commander and the troops.
They are crafty, ladies and gentlemen, and they will try to instill fear to make you, the troops in Operation Chaos, lose focus.
This is the equivalent of a body bag story.
Politico Rose is saying there may be untold numbers of casualties now in Operation Chaos.
And the hope is that the squeamish among you will defect or lay down your votes.
Like in the first Gulf War, we heard these kinds of stories.
It's a scare tactic by the left.
Yes, there may be some casualties in this war.
We knew that when we started.
There are always casualties.
When you hit the battlefield, no one said Operation Chaos would be easy.
No one said there wouldn't be sacrifice.
Love, war, politics are not for the faint of heart.
When Operation Chaos volunteers signed up, they knew the risks, and that's why I admire them.
Their courage in the face of known dangers.
I think the reporter of this story misunderestimates the courage and fighting spirit of Mississippi volunteers in Operation Chaos.
They will not quit.
The Politico.com story says that they may not have realized the implications of their decision, meaning Operation Chaos operatives crossing the aisle and voting for Hillary in the Mississippi primary.
That is absurd.
That is insulting.
And exactly what one would expect from Operation Chaos opponents, ladies and gentlemen.
We must continue this battle and we will continue this battle throughout.
The name is Operation Chaos.
The deniers will not succeed.
There will be chaos that can't and will not be avoided, only minimized as I see fit.
We have reinforcements for the Mississippi primary.
There are Republicans who did not cross over, who are now ready to be recruited in Operation Chaos and show up in this runoff Tuesday and do the right thing.
We always have reinforcements.
We never go to war with the entire army on the battlefield.
We have reserves, ladies and gentlemen, constantly being trained.
Look, I'm not pretending every battle plan's perfect here.
Those of us familiar with the battlefield of ideas understand that no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
It's a given.
And keep in mind, no one who has volunteered and enlisted in Operation Chaos will be intimidated or deterred from this mission.
And by the way, need to update battle plans for Pennsylvania soon based on the latest polling.
And by the way, it's not yet confirmed that we've taken casualties.
It's just the drive-by media, Politico Rose, attempting to put the notion in the heads of operatives in Mississippi that Operation Chaos will take casualties, meaning lose a valuable Republican seat.
It's not guaranteed because our reserves are ready to go into battle.
Make no mistake, my friends.
As the Supreme Commanding General of Operation Chaos, I get battlefield updates 24-7.
I understand the risks involved here.
I understand that winning isn't everything.
It's the only thing.
I don't seek perfection, my friends, as your commanding general.
I seek victory.
In fact, I demand it, so never fear.
We will experience more propaganda from Politico Rose and others in the drive-by media suggesting our efforts are actually harming our purpose.
We will not lose sight of our mission, and that is to create as much chaos as possible within the Democrat Party.
The occasional bumps in the road will only steal our will and our sense of purpose.
Do not be dispirited.
Do not think Operation Chaos is backfiring.
The exact opposite, my friends, is happening.
The drive-bys meet every morning trying to figure out how not to credit us for our success.
Stay strong.
Stay firm.
Dismissed.
One more little note here on the strategy behind Operation Chaos.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm surprised it's taken this long for the drive-bys to start this propaganda machine of theirs to suggest that Operation Chaos is actually becoming a liability to the Republican Party.
As I said in my address to the troops mere moments ago, no battle plan survives engagement with the enemy.
You know that whatever your strategy laid out is is going to have to be altered.
You're going to have to adapt to the countermeasures that the enemy mounts.
In this case, the enemy, the drive-by media, the Democrat Party itself is just sitting around quietly enjoying all this.
They love all these new Democrat registrations, and they're probably lying to themselves, suggesting to themselves that they're the ones responsible for it when you and I both know, all know that it's Operation Chaos.
Every morning in the drive-by media, ladies and gentlemen, there are what are called budget meetings, and they have nothing to do with dollars.
The budget meetings where the drive-bys say at the network newscasts, cable news outlets, newspapers, get the editors in a room and they talk about what's the news of the day and how they're going to cover it.
In the case of the nightly newscast, how they're going to present it, what stories are going to go first, what reporters are going to get assigned, blah, And I guarantee you, I guarantee you that at each one of these budget meetings, the drive-bys are wringing their hands and cursing, saying, how can we report this massive Democrat voter registration in these upcoming Democrat primary states without crediting Limbaugh and Operation Chaos?
How can we do this?
Because they don't want to mention Operation Chaos and they don't, unless, of course, it's a story that I might be indicted.
Other than that, they don't want to mention it.
They don't want to make me any more prominent and you any more prominent in this battle than possible.
So as an example of how they do it in their budget, let's go to the Associated Press.
The Associated Press sitting around their budget meeting yesterday, and they said, okay, we got to report this.
I mean, we've got to talk about these massive registrations of Republicans on the Democrat side.
We can't mention Operation Chaos by name.
We can't mention Limbaugh.
We've done that enough.
How do we do this?
So they dug deep and they went out to Oregon.
They found a reporter out in Oregon to find a talk show host in I don't know the name of the town.
I guess it's a suburb of Portland.
And they found a local talk show host whose name is Victoria Taft, familiar Republican voice in the Pacific Northwest on her local station.
And they credit her.
Hey, Victoria, nice going.
But they did.
The whole story, here, look at the whole story is about one in Oregon, in Oregon, one local radio talk show host.
And it does mention, but these days, Taft is firmly on the New York Senator's bandwagon along with, along with heavyweights, National Conservative Talk Radio Heavyweights, like Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingram.
So this is how they're doing it.
And my friends, they're going to finally figure out, they're going to follow the lead of the Politico today, the Politico, doing a little propaganda piece on how we're actually harming our efforts and the Republican Party.
Look for more of that.
And as I say, do not allow it to dispirit you.
It's natural.
You can expect these kinds of things to happen during the course of Operation Chaos because it is so wildly successful.
Wait till you hear the audio sound bites we have today, starting with, well, it's just a gave a couple.
A New York governor Mario Kumo, who was on, where was it?
Situation room.
Now, for those of you new to the programming, Rush, it's Cuomo.
I know that.
But a long time ago, I heard the Reverend Dax pronounce his name Kumo.
You know, and it's not stylish and it's not classy to correct somebody's pronunciation of things, especially when a mistake is made by a man of the cloth and a respected, revered Rev. And so if he thinks it's Kumo, then on this program, it's Kumo, and that is an act of compassion.
So, Governor Kumo, former Governor Kumo, on the Situation Room last night, John King filling in for Wolf Blitzer.
And King says, you wrote an essay in which you say the two remaining Democrat candidates ought to be paired together as the nominees on the ticket, but you don't say which one you think should be the president and which one should be the vice president.
Why not?
We are losing votes against McCain every day.
The constituencies are getting angry at the opposing candidate.
That's the problem here.
So, well, how do you do it?
You do it this way: if you insist on fighting all the way through the convention on all the hairy questions that are going to come up, then do this: agree in advance that if you win, you win and you're the candidate for the presidency, and your opponent becomes the candidate for the vice presidency.
That would, at the very least, mollify some of the constituents of the person who does not succeed, whether it's Hillary or Obama.
Well, Operation Chaos is panicking, Governor Cuomo.
Once again, the party elders are acting in a dictatorial, tyrannical fashion, trying to dictate to both of these nominees who they should pick as vice president should they win.
And it's all because, and they're right about this.
Cuomo's right about this.
They are losing votes against McCain every day.
And he's right about their concern.
Whoever loses this is going to be fit to be tied.
It's either going to be the Hillary supporters made up of women or Barack supporters made up of blacks.
It's, and the longer Operation Chaos succeeds and goes on, the greater the anger and disappointment is going to be amongst the losers.
King then said to Governor Kumo, Do you really believe in an Obama voter or a Clinton voter now?
It's sure to be hard feelings now, but we're at the end of March, heading to April.
Do you really believe come November a significant number of Democrats are likely to vote Republican because their guy or their lady lost the nomination?
Yes, I'm worried about it.
The Pew poll shows it.
All the polls show it.
And I don't think they show an immediate turnaround when miraculously we get a winner and everybody who is with the loser says, Okay, I changed my mind about Obama.
I changed my mind about hers.
She's the presidential candidate.
The candidates will do that.
The candidates will forget about it.
They'll be pragmatic.
I don't believe the constituents will.
You've got to hand it to Governor Cuomo.
He's got a handle on the Democrat Party base.
He's got a handle on how fractured it is.
He's got a handle on how angry.
I mean, look at it.
They went into this mad.
They went into this angry at their country.
I mean, they get up mad.
These people are constantly enraged.
They're not happy.
They don't smile.
When's the last time you saw these people smiling?
And one of these two candidates loses, and you just pile the rage that already exists in this on top of it.
He's got a handle on this.
Look at this.
He doesn't want to say it.
This is all due to Operation Chaos.
Governor Cuomo knows it, doesn't dare say it.
Thank you, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, talent on lawn from a god.
Get it to your phone calls here in a jiffypolitico.com.
Another story.
This by David Paul Kuhn.
Clinton's convention strategy in doubt.
If the fight over whether to count the results in Florida and Michigan makes it to the Democrat National Convention, Hillary will not have enough pledged votes on the 169-member credentials committee to deliver a majority decision in her favor.
This, according to an analysis conducted for Politico.
Her only hope of getting the key committee to vote out a majority report supporting her position rests on her ability to persuade an as-yet undetermined number, the 25 members appointed by Howard Dean, to cast votes for her position.
Now, the story goes on and gives details about how the credentials committee works, 144 pledged members, Florida and Michigan not included, plus the 25 party leaders and elected officials anointed by Howard Dean.
The 25 Dean appointees include a mix of Dean loyalists, Obama supporters, and at least seven individuals or several who have endorsed Clinton.
And the whole point of the Politico story is to suggest that their strategy is in doubt here to go to the credentials fight.
She didn't have the votes.
This effort to get her out of the race, now being picked up in earnest by the drive-by media, yet another testament to the success, ladies and gentlemen, of Operation Chaos.
But just to show you how absurd this effort to force her out early is, it's just April 1st today.
What if more information is found out about Obama and his radical past?
What if it is learned that Obama has even deeper associations with Tony Rezco?
Or if Obama says something on the campaign trail that's so damaging he can't recover?
Apart from all his political class at Inside the Beltway County of delegates, what's left out of this picture is politics.
It's only April, and she's running a close second.
If I were the Democrats, I wouldn't be trying to push her out of the way right now, because the more we learn about Obama, the more problematic it becomes for him.
First, there was his preacher, then the Resco business.
Then he's getting into dangerous territory here by making statements that are easily contradictory.
He lies.
And there's a lot more to be learned about this guy.
We got a 20-year history with Obama that nobody knows about other than his association with Reverend Wright, some of his work in the Illinois legislature, and of course his works as a community organizer.
But most people's impression and knowledge of Obama is just the last year and a half or two years when he decided he was going to run for president.
He doesn't have the nomination yet.
He has been unable to finish off Mrs. Clinton.
Nobody is talking about this aspect.
They're parleying her as a loser.
They're portraying her as a loser.
But Obama hadn't been able to finish her off.
I mean, she remains a very close second.
It would make no sense for her to drop out now.
The one thing you say about the Clintons, among all other things, they are political professionals, and they know full well that this is still very fluid, and Obama could still step in it.
He could fall off of it.
He could do anything that would cause the Democrats not to want to have anything to do with him.
It's way too early here for as close as she is.
And by the way, I say this, ladies and gentlemen, not as the general, the supreme commanding general of Operation Chaos.
I'm not really saying this is a matter of political reality.
The idea of forcing her out right now is a dumb idea.
Now, as far as battle plans, Rasmussen has new polling data out of Pennsylvania.
As you know, for the longest time, Mrs. Clinton has carried a double-digit lead going into the Pennsylvania primary on April 22nd.
Three weeks from today, by the way, is the next battle in Operation Chaos.
And according to Rasmussen, Hillary's lead is shrinking.
The latest Rasmussen telephone survey in Pennsylvania shows Hillary leading Obama by just five points now, 47 to 42.
That is down from a 10-point lead just a week ago and a 13-point lead in mid-March, a 15-point advantage in early March.
The governor of Pennsylvania, Fast Eddie Rendell, is saying that whoever wins Pennsylvania wins the nomination.
Now, Fast Eddie is in Hillary's camp.
And he's actually, we got the audio of him saying this coming up.
So it's tightening in Pennsylvania.
Hillary Clinton needs to win this.
Operation Chaos, the Supreme Commanding Officer, i.e. me, I have determined that the marching orders will go forth.
Operation Chaos objective in the Pennsylvania primary is now official.
Hillary Clinton must win the Pennsylvania primary.
Pay no attention to these polling numbers other than to make sure that you have registered.
So make sure you show up and vote for Hillary on April 22nd in Pennsylvania.
I've thought it through.
I was thinking it might be fun to have our Operation Chaos operatives vote Obama, but that would simply fuel after what I'm seeing today in the drive-bys and everywhere else.
It would only fuel the pressure on Mrs. Clinton to get out of there.
It would be much harder to tell her to scram, much, much harder to tell her to scram if she wins Pennsylvania and if she could recapture this double-digit lead and have a.
There are no.
I've just been asked here by people on the other side of glass if I have consulted other officers in my command structure, i.e.
Other talk show hosts, about no, there are no other.
Uh, there is no command structure.
I'm it, I am the supreme commander.
There's no, I don't consult with anybody about this.
We don't have meetings here.
Operation Chaos is not a bureaucracy, it's a leadership movement.
We make decisions and we stand by and we go, and so the the uh, the command here.
Orders from headquarters.
April 22nd Operation Chaos operatives.
Vote for Mrs. Clinton.
This is Anita in Jackson Mississippi, as we go to the phones.
Anita, thanks so much, nice to have you with us.
Dixie Lambdidos rush from a lonely lieutenant in the Mississippi Reserve of Operation Chaos.
We had reserves.
The attorney, we are there.
We are in place, sir.
Well, I know you are, because not every Republican became an Operation Chaos volunteer.
It was a sacrifice sir, but I will sleep well at night however, I I would probably sleep better if I had one of those little dandies who let comfort beds.
But I will sacrifice my vote to push forward the plan.
And we are here and waiting for orders, sir.
Well, here let me.
So you, you are not a Republican who registered Democrat to vote for Hillary in the Mississippi primary.
I am oh, you are okay.
Well then, you're not in the reserves.
I am on the front line.
Well, it's a regular, you are on the front lines.
But see, here's.
Here's the problem.
Well, not the problem.
This is the challenge.
Since you registered Democrat to vote in a primary, you now cannot vote in the.
If you're in this district, if you're in the first district I don't know if you are you cannot vote in the runoff election on the Republican side for a seat there.
And so they drive by me to say see, Operation Chaos is backfired.
No, it's not.
There are plenty of Republicans who did not Registered for Operation Chaos, who are still registered Republicans, who probably may not have voted at all.
We have plenty of reserves in Mississippi to show up in this runoff on Tuesday.
Operation Chaos makes plans for as much as we can anticipate.
I got to tell you, Tom, too, folks, there are some people on our side.
You've heard them call this a program who are in the camp of the appeasers.
You've heard them call here questioning our strategy.
We even have Obama supporters calling here begging me to cancel Operation Chaos.
But we even have Republicans calling here telling me that I should drop it, that it might backfire.
They question our infiltration of Democrat forces.
Well, something you should know about Operation Chaos.
We don't draft our soldiers.
There is no draft in Operation Chaos.
We didn't send out draft notices to Republicans in these states and require them to do what they're doing.
You must understand Operation Chaos is made up of volunteers committed to the cause, committed to the mission.
If you appeasers don't wish to join the battle, fine.
But you should at least have the foresight to give us on our side your moral support here for understanding, at least trying to understand what we are attempting.
You don't even have to try to understand it now.
Just look at the state of things in the Democrat Party and you'll understand that Operation Chaos is, well, it has surpassed all objectives.
There's no question about it.
Back to the audio soundbites once more to illustrate the effectiveness of Operation Chaos.
Again, the Situation Room CNN.
John King sitting in for Wolf Blitzer.
He had Democrat strategerist Donna Brazil.
He said, is it real?
The fear that this contest is hurting the party to the point where you can't recover by November?
That Obama supporters or Clinton supporters would actually go and vote for McCain or sit at home?
Do you believe that?
It's real.
We saw it, of course, in some polling data last week where 44% of Senator Clinton voters said that they would either vote for John McCain or stay home, and 35% of Senator Obama's supporters.
So that's the real concern.
And that, by the way, is a concern I think we at Operation Chaos can only take ancillary credit for by prolonging the chaos.
But I'm telling you, especially, you know, she's right, especially if Obama maintains his lead and they find a way on the Clinton side to steal that nomination.
And that's a 50-50 proposition or greater.
If that happens, I'm having dreams about what Denver is going to look like during the Democrat National Convention.
I'm literally having dreams about it.
And if they, you know, if Hillary doesn't get it, you have to understand the mindset of a lot of these feminists and women.
They think they're owed this, just like Obama's supporters think they're owed this.
These women have paid their dues.
They've been married two or three times.
They've had two or three abortions.
They've done everything that feminism asked them to do.
They have cut men out of their lives.
They have devoted themselves to causes and careers.
And this, the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, is a culmination of all of these women's efforts.
And if it gets stolen from them, in their minds, not actually stolen, but if the country or if the Democrat Party rejects this wonderfully great lying woman in exchange for a rookie radical black guy who can't tell a time of day, they are going to be so miffed.
They are going to be so upset.
These Democrats are absolutely right about the anger over all this because they are both sides of this equation think they are owed this nomination.
And by whom?
The Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party has promised American blacks for 50 years that they will see them through the dark days of bondage and emancipate them to equality and freedom and economic prosperity.
And that's only happened for blacks who have abandoned the Democrat Party and have become conservative Republicans.
Well, there are a couple exceptions, Bob Johnson, a few others, but mostly they're no better off than they were 50 years ago economically when they started voting Democrat.
On the Hillary side, all these women, the feminists, you know, they made sure they followed a script.
Paula Jones, a trailer trash.
Kathleen Willey was insane.
Whatever Bill Clinton did, they looked the other way.
They stood for it because Mrs. Clinton was waiting in the wings.
So this is what the Democrat Party has sown.
These are the wild oats that it has sown.
It's promised every one of its constituencies is an entitlement-based constituency.
They've been promising, we're going to do this for you.
We're going to do.
Now we've got the competition, loggerheads.
The blacks, one part of the constituency, the women, another part.
And both of them think they're owed this by the party.
And if whoever doesn't get this, the Hillary side, the Obama side, they're going to think the party screwed them.
The Obama case, they're going to know that Hillary did it.
And Bill did it, in which case, they'll still blame the party.
So this, well, on the women's side, yeah, men in the party.
The Hillary said it'll be men in the party.
But they're also mad at a bunch of women.
Emily's list.
I've got a story here in the snack.
Emily's list supported Amy Klobuchar and Claire McCaskill.
And they've endorsed Obama.
And so Emily's list is mad as hell at these two Democrat senators, Klobuchar and Claire McCaskill, because they think they're sellouts.
They think they're traitors.
I mean, there's more civil war going on in this party than you can possibly imagine.
Operation Chaos.
I kid you, the Emily's list.
So it's not just men that the women are going to be mad at, the Democrat side.
They're going to think a lot of these women are traitors too.
Hey, McCaskill, you wouldn't be where you are if it weren't for us at Emily's list and Hillary.
And hey, Klobuchar, who's heard of you even now but us.
And you turn on us and you turn on Hillary, you turn on the white mother that made it possible for all of us?
Oh, everybody's talking about the Republican Party changing, and it is.
It's going to be a different party.
But the Democrats are not sitting there in paradise.
Here's Mika Bzezinski this morning on Scarborough Show reporting about voters in Pennsylvania.
Voters are responding to the Democrats' calls to vote in Pennsylvania and in a big way.
Look at these numbers.
The final numbers won't be in for weeks.
But according to the latest update, they are registering in huge numbers.
Officials say 33,000 new Democrats registered of nearly 46,000 switched parties to vote for the Dems, all postmarked on the last day of eligibility, March 24th.
Now, about a third of the total new applications and party switches for the whole year came in right at the deadline.
That is amazing.
Now, Mika proves the point that we made at the beginning of the program.
The drive-by media in their morning budget meetings, okay, how can we describe this without mentioning Limbaugh and Operation Chaos?
Her attempt here, this is the, the people are just really responding to the Democrat message.
The Democrats have asked people to register.
Wow, look at all the Democrats that are around.
Wow, is it as cool?
This is amazing.
And wow, 46,000 Republicans on the last day, most of it in the last day.
Wow.
Wow.
Look at the power of the Democrats.
Look at how people love the Democrats.
Mika, it was a nice try.
You can't possibly believe that Obama and Hillary asking for this to happen is responsible for all these Republicans switching.
It's Operation Chaos.
This is exactly what I was talking about.
The drive-by media doing everything they can to try to figure out a way not to credit us.
But my friends, don't be depressed.
Don't get angry.
Because here at Operation Chaos, the notion of credit is irrelevant.
It is victory that we are concerned with.
It is success because that is the sweetest revenge.
By the way, I've got some startling numbers regarding the Democrat primary popular vote.
I heard Tony Blankly discussing these recently.
