Time Text
Greetings to you, thrill seekers.
Music lovers all across the fruited plain, it's Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
This is the most listened-to radio talk show in America, a program envied and copied by many but never equaled, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations every day.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
The email address, LRushbow, at EIBNet.com.
We're going to play this soundbite again.
I'm not going to get to it right now.
We'll go back to it.
When Mrs. Clinton said that what her husband did, you know, had this business on the mortgage business and declaring that actively, there was an interview Friday.
Robert Rubin said that the law that the Democrats are now dumping all over, it's a Phil Graham law with Jim Leach and Thomas Bliley.
And it was, I forget the name, it was bank deregulation law in 1999, which allowed investment banks and the standard banks to combine operations and so forth.
And Bob Rubin said it is not true.
That had no impact on this at all.
Obama is out echoing what Hillary is saying.
Obama's dumping on Graham because Graham was an economic advisor to McCain, and they're dumping on this piece of legislation.
This is it.
And this is my point about there aren't any congressional hearings because they can't find a Republican to dump on.
The closest they can get is Phil Graham and this banking deregulation law in 1999.
It's the close they can get, but the problem is Obama's campaign is being sabotaged by everybody, being sabotaged by Biden, now being sabotaged by, and of course Obama's sabotaging himself just by showing up places.
And now it's been sabotaged by Bob Rubin, who said, look, that bill that Phil Graham was part of had no impact, zero, quote unquote, on the current crisis.
It was just last week that Obama was down here in Miami, University of Miami Coral Gables, and had Laura DeAndrea Tyson from the Clinton administration standing next to him, as well as Bob Rubin.
But folks, the true sandbagging going on out here is Joe Biden, and Obama is the next target for a bailout.
I am convinced.
Now, let me set this up.
I'm sure that quite a few of you who are spending any time at all on the computer have received what I have received a gazillion times.
By the way, as a little heads up, those of you out there who receive things on the email or in email, these flash blast emails that go out, if you think I haven't seen it yet, change your mind.
By the time you see it, I have seen it so many times, I have practically thrown a computer up against the wall.
You don't need to forward these things to me.
I am a magnet for this stuff.
Anyway, the latest going around is this flash email sent by somebody claiming to have inside information of the DNC that the Democrat National Committee and Obama have gotten together and they have decided to get rid of Biden.
October 5th is the day that they're going to get rid of Biden.
And the reason they're going to get rid of the, the excuse that they will use is that Biden will declare a medical emergency or some kind.
You know, he once had an aneurysm that they caught in time and were able to do surgery on.
If something like this happens, folks, it's not going to be medical because that would impact his Senate service.
I mean, if he comes up with something medical to disqualify him as Barry's running mate, then how does he go back to the Senate?
What I have heard, and I don't put any stock in that, well, I haven't put any stock in it until today.
These gaffes just keep mounting up here.
And some of them really don't make any sense.
I mean, Biden out there ripping one of Obama's own ads.
And this is the ad that attacked McCain for not being computer literate and so forth and being so out of touch.
And of course, we learned later that McCain can't use a keyboard because of his war injuries.
So it backfired big time.
And then Biden taught this enough.
Hey, stand up out there, Ed.
I thought you did a bad job.
Let them see how bad you were.
And this, I can't recall the last time that I heard a vice presidential candidate criticize an ad run by the presidential candidate.
I can't remember the first time.
First time, last time, I can't remember a time that it happened.
So what I have heard is, is that the plan is to send Biden out there to say something so stupid, so odd, impolitic, whatever, off the wall that they have no choice but then to get rid of him.
And I was, like all these emails you get, just discount this and discount some of these other things, even though I was the first to suggest that of the two, Palin and Biden, if anybody's going to be replaced, it would be Biden.
I'm first on the record with this.
Now, I'm walking back into the studio and I'm talking about this with Snirdly and Dawn overhears us.
She says, has this ever happened before?
And I said, only one time in our lifetimes, and that was 1972 when George McGovern had to get rid of Thomas Eagleton, who was a senator from Missouri, because it had been discovered that Eagleton had had electric shock treatment.
Now, back in 1972, electric shock treatments where you took grandma if things weren't going right in the bathroom or other places.
It had an attachment to it that you take people to asylums to get this done.
And so poor old Eagleton, that's the last time that I can remember that happening.
Okay, so let us venture forth to the audio soundbites.
Last night on the CBS Evening News, the perky anchor Katie Couric talking to Joe Biden.
He said, are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign, the lipstick and the pig stuff, some of the ads?
I mean, you guys haven't been completely guilt-free making fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer.
I thought that was terrible.
Why'd you do it then?
I didn't know he did it.
And if I didn't do it, we'd have never done it.
And I don't think Barack, you know, I mean, I just think that was.
Did Barack Obama approve that ad?
He said he did, right?
Yeah, the answer is, I don't think anything was intentional about that.
They're trying to make another point.
This is just...
I don't know why we did it.
And if I had anything to do with it, we would never have done it.
And I don't think Barack, you know.
And then he caught himself because the commercial ended with saying, I'm Barack Obama, and I'll approve this message.
Next up, see if you catch this on your own, same place.
The perky anchorette, Katie Couric, on the CBS Evening News, said to Senator Biden, well, we were with him last Thursday during one of the rockiest weeks in the history of the U.S. economy, something that wasn't lost on the six-term senator.
Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and communicates to people.
If you listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this.
When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.
He said, look, here's what happened.
All right, now.
How many of you call, there are two gaffes?
There were two gaffes.
Were you listening?
Do you know what the gaps are, Sterdley?
Okay.
All right.
There was no TV in 1929.
Nobody was on TV in 1929.
It's the first gaffe.
The second gaffe is that FDR wasn't president in 1929.
Herbert Hoover was here.
Biden, the third gaffe is blowing a chance to blame Republicans for the Depression back in 29 for Herbert Hoover and then saying Bush and McCain are the new Hoovers.
And then September 17th, this is five days ago, six days ago now in Ohio during a rope line visit.
Senator Biden shaking hands and environmental activist Carol Orwater says wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal?
We're not supporting clean coal.
Guess what?
China's building two every week two dirty coal plants and it's polluting the United States.
It's causing people to die.
The first guy to introduce a global warming bill was me 22 years ago.
The first guy to support solar energy is me 26 years ago.
It came out of Delaware.
But guess what?
China's going to burn 300 years of bad coal unless we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's going to ruin your lungs.
There's nothing we can do about it.
No coal plants here in America.
Build them if they're going to build them over there.
Make them clean because you're killing your okay.
So an environmentalist comes up.
Why are you doing coal?
We're not doing coal.
Screw you.
The Chikons are doing coal.
They're building two or three of these coal plants a week.
They're killing people.
They're polluting America.
No more coal plants in the United States.
Really?
Hey, Joe, do you realize where a lot of coal miners in this country work?
Do you realize what state they're in?
Is West Virginia called a state that you need?
By the way, Obama has an ad that says he is for clean coal.
Here it is.
I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
Shirock originates from Chicago, but he came to southern Illinois and seen the devastation and the loss of the jobs in this coal industry.
Washington, D.C. is not listening to us.
Barack understands this.
In Illinois and the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama helped lead the fight for clean coal to protect our environment and save good-paying American jobs.
There's a graphic in this ad that says the Obama record, $200 million for clean coal.
That ad has just been thrown under the bus by Joe Biden.
Listen, soundbite number seven again.
I think it's number seven.
I put it away.
Yep.
You just heard the Obama ad on the record, $200 million for clean coal, clean energy, get rid of oil.
We're going to go coal all the way, baby.
And here's Biden.
September 17th, with an environmentalist wacko shouting at him, why are you supporting clean coal?
We're not supporting clean coal.
Guess what?
China's building two every week two dirty coal plants.
And it's polluting the United States.
It's causing people to die.
The first guy to introduce a global warming bill was me 22 years ago.
The first guy to support solar energy was me 26 years ago.
It came out of Delaware.
But guess what?
China's going to burn 300 years of bad coal unless we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's going to ruin your lungs.
And there's nothing we can do about it.
No coal plants here in America.
Build them if they're going to build them over there.
Make them clean because you're killing yourself.
Now, put yourself in the Obama campaign headquarters.
David Axel's right in there and you're writing Obama's next speech and you're writing the next answers to his next questions.
And the phone rings.
So he says, you know, Biden just said that you guys ran a really cruel and up ad on McCanny, wouldn't you?
If he'd have anything to do with it, he wouldn't have run it.
He said, what?
Yeah, that's what he said.
Then the phone rings again.
Biden's out there saying, no more clean coal plants.
The United States, Obama, has pledged $200 million to build more clean coal plants.
You see why I'm giving some of this stuff credence that the theory is to have him just say all these off-the-wall wacko things that they just can't abide anymore.
We're not through.
We're not through.
Yesterday in Baltimore at the National Guard Association Conference, Senator Biden again.
If you want to know where Al-Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me.
Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down with a three-star general and three United States senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains.
I can tell you where they are.
He's speaking to the National Guard.
So he didn't say he was shot down, but when you say that you're in a helicopter with a general and two other senators and you are forced down and you're in a military helicopter, what in the world he wants people to think?
He wanted to think it was even a mechanical or that they got shot down.
So they went and asked John Kerry about this, the haughty John Kerry, who, by the way, served in Vietnam, because he was on the trip, and I think Chuck Hagel was there too.
I forget who the other senator was.
And Kerry, who was probably clueless about the context.
Oh, it was a snowstorm.
Nobody predicted it came out of nowhere.
We barely got down there.
We had some troops come rescue us.
It wasn't a bad place to be, but it was a snowstorm it forced us down.
Now, remember, this is the new snipper fire because Hillary was fired on in a green zone.
And I think Biden said he got fired on in a green zone, right?
Hillary has dodged snipper fire in the green zone.
These guys, the transparent badge of courage.
And let's see.
Yep, we got one more.
On the Today Show today, Matt Wauer talking to the Messiah.
And Wauer says, look, as part of this whole economic picture, the AIG situation, on Tuesday night, the Fed decided to bail him out a huge amount of money.
That morning, prior to the bailout, John McCain said that the federal government should not bail out AIG.
You chastised him, and then Lauer added this.
Cut nine.
Three minutes later, in an interview with Meredith Vieira, Joe Biden, your running mate, was asked the exact same question.
Should the federal government bail out AIG?
And he said no.
The federal government should not bail out.
And I think that in that situation, I think Joe should have waited as well.
It has not been a good three hours for Joe Biden to be back.
Chuck Graham, state senators here.
Stand up, Chuck.
Let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be Vice President of the United States of America.
Let's get that straight.
She's a truly close personal friend.
She is qualified to be president of the United States of America.
She's easily qualified to be Vice President of the United States of America.
And quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me, but she's first rate.
Bump music here is appropriately entitled Rinky Dink.
The organist here, Dave Baby Cortez.
The Joe Biden theme song.
Okay, back to the phones we go, or to the phones.
This is our first call today, right?
And it's Joan in Boston.
Joan, thank you so much for waiting.
Appreciate it.
Nice to have you here.
Hi, Brush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I heard something in Boston radio this morning on a liberal station, and I just had to call you and tell you.
Barney Frank, who's very hard to understand, said this, and so I'll paraphrase it.
He said, what happened was there was a meeting back in 2003 or 2005 where some Democrats and some Republicans got together in a closed room to straighten out this mess with Fannie and Freddie.
And they talked, and they talked, and the Democrats, he admitted, had a bill they thought would pass.
And then the Republicans started picking it apart.
And it got so the Democrats were so upset.
And I am paraphrasing this, that they said they wouldn't even bring it to the floor for a vote.
So it never made it out of committee.
Well, now, we have to take this under advisement because as you said at the beginning of the phone call, it's very difficult to understand, Congressman Frank.
And so, but you think you got the gist of it there?
I think he's trying to blame us is what I thought.
Well, then, this is revisionist history, Joan, because the Republicans, from the Bush administration to Republicans in the House of Representatives, tried time after time after time to get legislation and a new regulatory agency looking after Frennie Mac and Fannie Mae because everybody saw what was coming.
It was the Democrats who stood in the way, stopped it from happening because these two institutions were nothing more than a piggy bank for the Democrats in a whole manner of ways.
And Barney Frank is out there saying that the private sector created this mess.
The government's going to have to fix it.
He's already been established as saying things on this that are not true.
And once that starts, why start believing the truth is all of a sudden coming out of somebody's mouth when they're lying repeatedly.
Another theory that I want to touch on here with you people before we go to the break that bounces off my interpretation of Chuck Schumer blaming the mortgage for this problem, this financial mess, blaming the mortgages, blaming you, blaming the right to own property.
What else are they doing?
Are they not succeeding in scaring you into taking your money out of the market?
You know how many, well, no, wait, you know how many average Americans own stock?
That's not good.
They don't want average Americans owning stock.
They don't want average Americans being in the investor class.
They are the investor class.
Don't let them scare you too much, folks.
Your guiding light, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
You know, if Sarah Palin had said half the things that Biden is saying, what do you think the media would be doing to her?
What do you think they'd be doing to her?
Folks, you realize it may be time for a brand new Operation Chaos.
I don't know what we call it, Operation Chaos.
Maybe call it Operation Save Joe Biden.
The Operation's objective would be to keep Biden on the ticket if for no other reason than programming assistance for this program.
Let's go back and relive this one.
Last night on the CBS Evening News with the perky anchor Katie Courick.
Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and communicates to people.
If you listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this.
When a stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.
He said, look, here's what happened.
Stand up.
Stand up, FDR.
Let them see you, everybody.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Show us your big stick there, FDR.
Stand up.
Let everybody see you out there.
Oh, God.
What did I just say?
Remember?
FDR wasn't president in 29, and there wasn't television in 29.
Nobody was on TV in 1929 except in laboratories.
And Herbert Hoover was the president.
I want to revisit this Hillary Clinton bite from this morning on CNN.
John Roberts is talking to her about the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act.
Now, the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act, 1999, this is what the Democrats, Lanny Davis, and the Wall Street Journal, they're all that they're trying to find a Republican to pin this on.
They're trying to find anything.
Looks like I tell you, there would have been hearings blaming Republicans for this financial crisis starting two weeks ago if there were any Republicans the Democrats could have found.
This is as close as they can get to it, but we're going to nuke this out of the water.
A little Iranian lingo there because we're going to nuke them on this.
This is all they've got pointing at Phil Graham because he was a McCain advisor.
So John Roberts says to Mrs. Clinton, if you go back to 1999, the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act that a lot of people said started this whole ball rolling, the House, 138 Democrats voted for it.
One Democrat voted for it in the Senate.
Your husband signed it.
Are Democrats scot-free here with all this?
The great bulk of the responsibility rests with this administration and with the ideology that the Republicans have been promoting since they took over the Congress in 1995.
You know, they never met a regulation that they thought was worth implementing.
Many Democrats voted to take those rules away.
Your husband could have vetoed the bill, even though it might have been overridden.
He could have done it symbolically.
Instead, he chose to sign it.
But there were reasons, there were positive reasons.
What I believe the failure in 99 was, is that once you removed some of those barriers between banks and investment banks and the kind of business that could be done by banks, that there needed to be a new regulatory framework.
But there was no appetite in the Republican Congress or with a Republican president to take the second step.
All right, now two things on this, because Mrs. Clinton, like all the Democrats, trying to make something out of nothing here, there is nothing here.
And as a result, she is lying through her teeth again.
The New York Times, November 13th, 1999, had a story.
Clinton signs legislation overhauling banking laws.
And there is a picture of Clinton with the biggest grin on his face, surrounded by senators that supported this thing.
Clinton's Financial Services Modernization Act is what they refer to this.
President Clinton signed into law today, a sweeping overhaul of Depression-era banking laws.
This legislation is truly historic.
We have done right by the American people.
So Clinton was all excited about this.
New York Times, November 13th, 1999.
Now, there is another story.
And you may have seen this.
This is what the Chicago Sun-Times, the headline of this story, uncharacteristically low turnout for Obama rally in Green Bay.
McCain-Palin drew 4,000 more supporters at the same venue a week ago.
The numbers in Wisconsin and Minnesota are getting close enough.
The Obama campaign closed its 11 campaign offices in North Dakota and moved the 50 staffers there to these two states.
His 50-state strategy is out the window, and he's already blown a lot of money in some of these states that are no longer competitive for him.
But if you dig further here, Obama said this at his Green Bay rally.
When it comes to regulatory reform, Senator McCain has fought time and time again against the common sense rules that could have prevented this crisis.
His economic plan was written by Phil Graham, the architect in the U.S. Senate of the deregulatory steps that helped cause this mess.
The audience booed Graham's name and McCain and Palin's name.
However, Robert Rubin in the Washington Post directly wait a minute now directly under yeah, I know, but I thought I had it here and I too many pieces of paper.
Robert Rubin undercut it because Rubin basically said that this had, this bill had zero effect.
The bill that Hillary said Republicans are responsible for, the bill that Bill Clinton signed, that everybody is so happy about that Clinton thought it was the great getting rid of Depression era laws, Obama was undercut by Rubin, who said that the effect of the 1999 law that Phil Graham authored that Bill Clinton signed had nothing to do with the present crisis.
Now, why?
Why would Rubin say it?
Well, because Rubin, was he still the Treasury?
Had he left in 1999 and somebody replaced him?
The point is, it doesn't matter.
The point is, Rubin is going to circle the wagons and protect Clinton.
Now, look at this is a fascinating thing to consider.
You've got a Democrat running for president, Barack Obama.
Obama is out trashing the only Republican they can find to come anywhere close to this financial mess, and that's Phil Graham back in 1999, nine years ago.
What's happening is that Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the Democrats in Congress, are getting all the heat on this, not yet in the drive-bys, but everywhere else in every other media, they're taking the hit on this.
The Clinton people, Rubin, Grelik, I don't care who, circle the wagons around themselves and the Clinton administration.
Robert Rubin had a choice.
Do I support the contention of the current Democrat presidential candidate, or do I save Bill Clinton's legacy and mine?
I was Treasury Secretary.
And Rubin threw Obama under the bus by saying Obama and his criticism of Phil Graham had nothing to do.
This bill had nothing to do with the current crisis.
And don't forget, Rubin is now at or did for a time run Citibank.
They benefited from that rule change as well.
They became a juggernaut by virtue of this deregulation until, of course, they got their own stock price problems and Rubin was brought in to fix those and hasn't quite pulled off the magic again.
Don't worry, folks.
We have a secure and safe way out of here.
But I just find it fascinating.
Given a choice.
And it really isn't that big a choice because the Clinton people do not want Obama to win.
It's just that simple.
If Obama wins, bye-bye, Hillary and a rebirth of the Clinton Camelot.
So it's just fascinating to watch all this shakedown.
I mean, you've got Biden throwing Obama under the bus.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jay writes next.
Somehow, we haven't heard the last of him.
We haven't.
No, he's not preaching.
Remember, he was in New Jersey preaching.
He's making the rounds out there.
He's just under the radar in terms of the drive-by media talk.
By the way, folks, I mentioned Carbonite to you all the time and all these people that have really taken advantage of Carbonite offline backup of your PC.
And I'm continuing to get emails from people who have tried it and who have been saved.
I'm going to tell you a little story.
And it's a true story.
I have a Mac.
And all of you watching me on a ditto camera, you can see I've got a Mac.
I also have security cameras all over various properties I own.
I need to be able to consult these.
The only program so far that we have found to run the security program is a cheap Windows program, a cheap PC pro.
And it crashes three times a day.
And yesterday, in the middle of the program, I called my IT guy.
I said, could you come in here and try to finally fix this?
Well, in the process, because, you know, Macs now have Intel chips and you can deal with Windows, worst damn thing that ever happened.
Anyway, came in here and worked with the program, crashed the whole computer and crashed it in such a way that I was worried, did I lose any data here?
And I didn't.
And it just reminded me of how valuable, because you people are using PCs out there.
And I'm telling you, even if you don't use a PC and you're using a Mac to emulate a PC pro, it can crash on you.
PCs crash.
Windows crashes.
And if you have a Windows machine, it's going to crash.
43% of them do.
And if you lose your data, think of losing your pictures, thinking of losing all your important documents.
Go to carbonite.com, offer code RUSH, back up what you have now offline 30 days.
Don't even have to give them a credit card to start with.
Try it out.
You'll never be more relieved to have been backed up when this happens to you.
We found another one.
We found it.
We don't have any audio on this, but we found another one.
Now, keep in mind, Biden told Curric last night he's got to be careful about what he says because Republicans are going to jump on every word.
So he's being careful.
This is Biden disciplined.
This statement was made on September 20th, three days ago.
It's an MSNBC story.
It was in Castlewood, Virginia.
And a question is a campaign event.
A question of gun control came up.
Biden said, Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey.
If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem.
Did the Secret Service call Biden and say, did you just threaten a presidential candidate?
Folks, folks, a new program.
SOB, Save Our Biden, Operation Sling Blade.
With this, this, I beg to, I beg to, I beg, no, it's, it's, it's from MSNBC.
I've got it right here.
Biden Don't Fool With My Beretta by Kerry Dan from NBC New Jersey's Mike Mamoli.
What do you mean, this is not a joke?
I've got the link right here.
I just read it off the computer.
And it's the MSNBC First Read website.
Like ABC's The Note.
All right.
Castle Woodward.
Joe Biden took on an even folksier tone than usual as he campaigned in rural southwest Virginia this afternoon.
This is December 20th, Saturday.
Though his focus was, again, on economic issues, he deviated from script to talk about an issue not often discussed by the Democrats.
The Delaware Senator predicted Republicans would seek to sway voters by threatening Obama would take away guns.
Biden, claiming to be a gun owner himself who likes that little over and under called the notion bogus.
Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey.
If he tries to fool my Beretta, he's got a problem.
My nose is running with all of this.
I wonder if the Secret Service called Biden and said, did you just threaten?
Now, McCain's gotten in on this coal business.
This is from thepolitico.com.
McCain hit Biden in Ohio today.
I'm going to put in place the priorities and policies that will create jobs in Ohio.
One important way that we're going to create jobs here is with the development of additional nuclear plants and through investments in clean coal technology.
Not only will investment in our energy infrastructure create millions of new jobs across the country, it'll help lead our nation toward the important goal of energy independence.
My opponent is against the expansion of nuclear power.
His running mate here in Ohio recently said that they weren't supporting clean coal either.
That is what Biden said.
Biden did say no clean coal.
Biden's spokesman David Wade called McCain's statement just yet another false attack from a dishonorable campaign.
Though the real error seems to have been Biden.
Seems, this is a political fact-check piece.
Seems to have been?
The real error seems to have been Biden.
There is no doubt about it.
We have played the bite of Biden going on and on to the environmentalist wacko fruitcake about how there aren't going to be any clean coal plants here.
No more here.
We're going to let the SHICOMs build them, but none here.
And Obama's running an ad supporting clean coal.
Who's next?
On the Mike in Maysville, Kentucky.
Mike, welcome.
I'm glad you waited.
You're next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
First of all, a real quick point.
I'd like to apologize to you, sir.
I have been a lifelong Democrat all my life, and this election was very important to me.
And under the old axiom, keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer, I decided to listen to you and a couple other clothes.
You are very, I like you.
And quite frankly, it comes to find out you're not my enemy.
We may disagree on certain social issues, but you give me the facts and I check them out, and you are absolutely right.
Thank you, sir, very much.
It's very big of you.
Kudos to you, and I never thought I'd say this.
I have listened to soundbites of you, sir, and come to find out they were all taken out of context, and that's not fair.
No, but it's the way the game's played when the left can't defeat you in the arena of ideas.
I understand.
Try to discredit people, and that's.
I understand.
And it works both ways, on both sides.
But since you are A figure, it seems that they come after you more.
And it wasn't fair.
So I do like to apologize, but that's not the reason why I called.
It's one of the reasons.
The reason why I called is because of the poll yesterday that seems to be that I'm a white Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, a very old Democrat, who is married to a black woman from Mississippi who is extremely liberal, and neither one of us are going to vote for Obama.
Well, you know, I know what you're, I've got a time problem here, and I can't move the break.
I don't mean to be rude, but that was a poll, AP, ripping white Democrats, as one-third of them racist because they won't vote Obama.
The Philadelphia Daily News has done it today to their readers.
I've got it in the stack.
It's all coming up.
We'll be right back and continue after a much-needed break here, ladies and gentlemen, so that I can attempt to regain my composure.
