Time Text
Hang on a minute.
Phone call.
You tell them I am not going to do a TV interview at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Why even ask me that?
Why would somebody even ask me if I want to do an interview at 2 o'clock in the morning?
Greetings, Mario.
That's an automatic no.
You should get hassled with that question.
Greetings.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
Rushlin Baugh, the excellence in broadcasting network, 800-282-2882.
If phone number, if you want to call the program, we've got an exciting, busy broadcast hour straight ahead.
And the email address is LRushbo at EIBNet.com.
All right, let's move on here for a moment to the real problem that Obama has with Bill Ayers.
Now, I am convinced that this is hitting.
I'm convinced it's sticking.
The Obama campaign is getting nervous about it.
The drive-bys are trying to cover for this.
In fact, last night on DNC TV before the second presidential debate, Chris Matthews, with the tingle up his leg when he discusses Obama, was talking to David Axelrod, the chief Obama campaign strategist.
And Matthews said, in the political life of your candidate, Barack Obama, what role did Bill Ayers play?
Virtually not.
Every news organization that's looked at it has come to the same conclusion.
The fact is that Bill Ayers today is a professor of education in Chicago.
He's an aide to the mayor on school reform, and that's how they came to meet.
That is a lie.
That is a full, fledged lie.
The closest he got to the truth there was saying that Bill Ayers is a professor of education.
But wait till you hear, in mere moments, what kind of education.
Matthews then said, well, was he politically rehabilitated in your eyes by the time he met with your candidate?
He wasn't making a political.
When he served on these boards, he wasn't making a political judgment, Chris.
They were working on some school reform issues.
But the fundamental point here is he has nothing to do with this campaign.
He doesn't advise him.
He's not involved with him politically.
He won't be involved in the future.
I'll tell you these guys are nervous.
Bill Ayers was one of the formative influences in Obama's life.
Now, the editorial guys at the Investors Business Daily have a great, great piece today entitled Obama's Real Problem with Bill Ayers.
We all know who he is.
Weather Underground bombed the Pentagon, was the host of Obama's coming out political fundraiser party in 1995, gave Obama $150 million to head up education, the Annenberg Challenge, worked and introduced him to Acorn.
Bill Ayers is very, very close to Michelle Obama.
In fact, it may well be, folks, that Michelle Obama is as instrumental in Obama knowing Ayers as Obama himself is.
At an education forum in Venezuela, let's go back here and remember what Axelrod said.
Bill Ayers today is a professor of education in Chicago.
He's an aide to the mayor on school reform.
That's what Obama's campaign advisor says.
At an education forum in Venezuela, Bill Ayers showed that the real issue is not his terrorist past.
It's the socialist revolutionary agenda that he and Obama want to impose on the nation's schools.
Still more evidence of how the media are in the tank for Obama was evident in Tom Brokaw's description of Ayers on Meet the Press Sunday.
School reformer is how Brokaw identified the co-founder of the Weather Underground, a radical organization that bombed government buildings, banks, police departments, and military bases in the early 1970s and private homes as well.
Bill Ayers is a school reformer in the same sense that Joe Stalin was an agricultural reformer.
An idea of what Ayers has in mind for America's schools was provided in his own words not 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but less than two years ago in November 2006 at the World Education Forum in Caracas,
Venezuela, hosted by dictator Hugo Chavez, with Hugo Chavez at his side two years ago, Bill Ayers, who is a professor of education Chicago.
Bill Ayers voiced his support for the, quote, political educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez.
We share the belief that education is the motor force of revolution.
I look forward to seeing how all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.
That's Bill Ayers, Obama friend, two years ago, praising revolutionary education techniques to overcome the failures of capitalist education in Venezuela.
Ayers told the great humanitarian Hugo Chavez, quote, teaching invites transformations.
It urges revolutions, large and small.
La Educación es Revolución.
It is that form of socialist revolution that Ayers and Obama have been working to bring to America.
Ayers is now a tenured distinguished professor of education, University of Illinois, Chicago.
He works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
He is not interested in teaching them math, science, history, any of that.
These kids in the schools over which Obama and Ayers had purview were taught to rebel against capitalism to be promoting of socialism revolutionaries.
Saul Stern at the City Journal of New York says, Ayers and his education school comrades are explicit about the need to indoctrinate public school children in the belief that America is a racist, militarist country and that the capitalist system is inherently unfair and oppressive.
So forget the terrorist stuff, although it's relevant.
Bill Ayers to this day is working to overthrow the capitalist system of the United States through the education system of the United States.
School children, you wonder where the curricula come from that so many of your kids in high school and in college are subjected to.
It comes from the thinking of Bill Ayers, and he attends many seminars teaching teachers, instructing teachers how to engage this curriculum.
Now, if Ayers was just another nutty professor, we'd be lucky, but he wields great influence in academic circles, and he has had Obama's ear.
He is the author or editor of 15 books.
Chicago's current mayor, Richard Daly, has employed Ayers as a teacher and teacher trainer for Chicago's public schools and has consulted him on the city's education reform plans.
Just last month, Mr. Ayers was elected vice president for curriculum for the 25,000-member American Educational Research Association.
AIRA is the nation's largest organization of education school professors and researchers.
In a recent interview on Fox, Obama upgraded Ayers' status from a guy who lives in my neighborhood to somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know.
Actually, Obama knew him quite well, having worked together on a school reform project called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
In the 1990s, Ayers was instrumental in starting the Annenberg Challenge.
He secured $50 million in a grant to reform the Chicago public schools.
Obama was given the Annenberg Board Chairmanship only months before his first run for office.
He ran the fiscal arm that distributed grants to schools and raised matching funds.
And this is at a time when Obama said, I didn't know this guy.
I don't know who he was.
Well, he didn't know who he was.
He knew who you were.
He's given you $50 million to spend.
Ayers participated in a second entity known as the Chicago Scrule Reform Collaborative, the operational arm that worked with grant recipients.
During Obama's tenure as Annenberg Board Chairman, Ayers' own education projects received substantial funding.
One of Ayers' descriptions for a course called Improving Learning Environments One of Ayers' own descriptions for a course called Improving Learning Environments says that a prospective K-12 teacher needs to be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
Dawn, this sounds like that this teacher that your daughter had for history last year went to this seminar.
John McCain needs to repeatedly point out the stealth socialism of Ayers' education agenda and Obama's complicity in it.
But he won't because that will be partisan.
But that is who William Ayers is today.
And he and Obama have worked on Ayers' projects for years to overthrow the capitalist education system, replace it with a radical socialist education system bent on revolution, standing side by side to Hugo Chavez and praising the socialist dictator Chavez for his revolution curricula.
That is William Ayers, and that is Barack Obama's friend, Maggie Gallagher.
In the New York Post today, when John Murtaugh was nine years old, Bill Ayers' friends tried to kill him.
Murtaugh wrote recently in the City Journal, I remember my mother pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood.
Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below.
We didn't leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside.
It wasn't personal.
John Murtaugh's dad, when John Murtaugh was nine, was a judge presiding over a trial of some Black Panthers.
John Murtaugh still remembers the red graffiti on the sidewalk the next morning.
Free the Panther 21.
The Viet Cong have won, kill the pigs.
As best he recalls, John Murtaugh, Bernadine Dorn, who is now Bill Ayers' wife, first claimed credit for bombing John Murtaugh's home in 1970.
John Murtaugh is now a lawyer and Yonkers city councilman running for the state Senate on the GOP ticket.
I reached him, or Maggie Gallagher reached him this week through his campaign.
It wasn't hard.
Has Obama ever tried?
Obama was only eight when Murtaugh's house was bombed by Bernadine Dorn, Bill Ayers' wife.
He has nothing to do with the trauma the Murtaugh family went through, but Obama was a grown man when he decided his path to power lay through Bill Ayers' connections.
Obama's campaign is busy fudging.
His top political advisor claims Obama just didn't know Ayers' history when they first met.
Bomber?
What bomber?
Right.
If that's true, Obama has to be the dumbest man who ever graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, snorts Murtaugh.
I don't buy that at all.
Murtaugh believes that the relationship between the Obama's Ayers and Bernadine Dorn goes back 30 years to Michelle Obama's time at Sidley Austin, a law firm that also employed Bernadine Dorn.
Murtaugh doesn't blame Obama for what Ayers and his friends did.
He blames Obama for picking a man like Ayers as a friend and mentor and covering up the friendship.
In politics, things get complicated.
Truth becomes hard to find, but not this.
The night they attacked our home, Bernadine Dorn, friends of William Ayers, they also firebombed an Army recruiting station out in Brooklyn.
Police patrol cars outside of Greenwich Village.
Three weeks later, they accidentally blew themselves up.
They intended to attack the officers' club at Fort Dix.
Murtaugh says, lay your cards on the table.
Obama's free to associate with Dorn and Ayers.
That's his right, but don't hide the relationship and be forthcoming and let people decide the significance of it, for the significance of it for themselves.
I predicted in the first hour, this Ayers stuff is going to stick.
People are already starting to pay attention to it and notice it now.
And I think at some point Obama's going to have to come out and distance himself from this guy.
Can't just say, well, he's some guy new in the neighborhood.
Well, he's somebody I worked with on education.
He's going to have to come out and say, this is not the Bill Ayers I knew.
This is not the Jeremiah Wright that I knew.
So you have to do something.
It will not be Senator McCain that presses it, unless they do it in ads, but it will not happen in the upcoming debate, I doubt.
I'd like to be wrong about that.
Brief timeout, we'll come back.
Much more.
Your phone calls are straight ahead.
I want to take you back to the, oh, this is a presidential debate.
It was a primary debate in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, it was the Pennsylvania primary debate with Mrs. Clinton and Obama.
Was it a debate?
It was live.
It was on ABC.
And this is what Hillary Clinton said then about Bill Ayers.
The date of this is April 16th of this year.
Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9-11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York, and I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9-11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more.
And what they did was set bombs.
And in some instances, people died.
So it is, you know, I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about.
And I think that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.
Really, Mrs. Clinton, which Republicans are going to raise it?
I don't think our nominee is going to raise it.
Certainly those of us in the new media are raising it.
He did have an editorial, a commentary on 9-11, talking about the only thing he was unhappy about was they didn't do more back in their terrorist days.
I don't have Obama's response, if there was one, but I do know this.
I knew that the drive-bys didn't do Diddley squat with that comment.
The drive-bys didn't investigate, didn't do Diddley squat with it.
And they're not going to now.
They're going to do what they can to cover it up, like Broko did on Meet the Press.
Education reformer.
Bill Ayers is an education reformer.
Before we go to the breakout, I got to tell you about Acorn.
Michelle Malkin has a brilliant piece today.
Now, at townhall.com, I don't have time to give you the whole thing.
You've got to remember this is Obama's group.
This is the bunch he worked with when he was the street agonizer and organizer and agitator.
Back in Chicago, systemic corruption of our election process continues.
Everybody just sitting around watching this.
Well, actually, some people are now taking action.
Barack Obama and his old buddy Zadie Corn and Project Vote are leading the way.
A radical revolution taking place in your backyard.
And the voter fraud racket is on your dime.
On Monday, the two liberal groups, Acorn and Project Vote, announced the wrap-up of a 21-state voter registration drive targeting low-income people and minorities in battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, and Wisconsin.
What's wrong with that?
Well, for starters, these two groups are militant partisan outfits purporting to engage in nonpartisan civic activity.
And their campaign comes amid an avalanche of fresh voter fraud allegations involving Acorn in many of those same states.
In addition to the Las Vegas raid, fraud allegations keep piling up.
Lake County, Illinois, election officials this month rejected a large portion of the 5,000 registration forms ACORN turned in after conducting registration drives in the area all summer.
In Milwaukee last month, officials discovered at least seven felons employed as voter registration workers for Acorn and another affiliated group in Florida.
Orange County alone, Acorn workers turned in multiple copycat forms for six separate voters over the summer.
According to the Miami Herald, one individual had 21 duplicate applications.
Thug fizzle is street slang for performing your trademark move.
Obama and Acorn have practiced their thug fizzle together for years, organizing an ever-expanding community of ineligible and marginal voters to expand the Democrat power base rules be damned.
You have to remember here, folks, that all of these investigations, these indictments, fraud allegations against Acorn are, they may as well be made against Obama.
It is his group.
He has worked with this group in the past.
They have his agenda.
Obama gets to show up as the Messiah.
The clean-cut-looking, suave-and-debonair guy wearing the suit and tie where these people are Obama in the background.
This is the way socialists and liberals work.
They put on a good front, put on a good face.
The street soldiers and agitators are doing their dirty work while they get to look like mainstream, reasonable people.
It's exactly what is going on here.
We have Obama's response to Hillary's statement about Bill Ayers.
It's interesting, too.
April 16, 2008, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, you have a Democrat presidential candidates debate, and Hillary Clinton said this about Bill Ayers.
Listen to that.
Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9-11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York, and I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9-11.
And he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more.
And what they did was set bombs.
And in some instances, people died.
So it is, you know, I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about.
And I think that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.
And here is how Obama replied.
By Senator Clinton's own betting standards, I don't think she would make it since President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me serving on a board with somebody for actions that he did 40 years ago.
Now, you see, he doesn't deny anything she said about Bill Ayers.
40 years ago was not 9-11, 2001, sir.
Weather Underground is their organization.
Your buddies.
Clinton pardoned your buddies.
But it's not about you serving on a board with somebody for actions he did 40 years ago.
You and your buddy and Acorn, you are inseparable.
Radical socialists attempting to overthrow the capitalist system of this country, plain and simple.
And if you, and Ayers is down in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez two years ago, praising the overthrow of capitalist education systems, he's in charge of the curriculum for a 25,000 teacher organization, still working on it today.
Obama doesn't know him.
See, I know liberals and I know how they work.
They have to do it in stealth.
Bill Ayers could no more run for president and get past the first primary than Daffy Duck.
Remember way back I said, I speculated to you, there's got to be somebody behind this guy, Obama.
Somebody had to pick him out.
Somebody had to choose him.
Somebody had to put him out there and decide he can be the front man for whoever it is that really has this agenda.
Not that he doesn't himself.
I don't know.
Soros, some of these people in Chicago, whoever it is.
But make no mistake about it, he's the front man for a huge socialist revolutionary organization.
He's the one by getting elected that will enable and empower them to begin working from the inside for the first time.
Andy in Niles, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you today.
Thank you, sir.
I just watched some of the debate last night, and boy, you know, Obama seems to be able to say anything he wants and get away with it.
And I would expect McCain would have wanted to take him up on the one thing I heard him say last night was when the question was asked about using the military for human rights violations and how would you do that?
And he said that, you know, hey, I would send him in there.
That's a huge and important thing.
And, you know, they've been arguing for months now, but in the debate last night, too, about the fact that we should never be in Iraq.
We shouldn't be in Iraq for any reason.
That was the wrong thing.
Right, that's exactly.
That's a great point.
We shouldn't be in Iraq, but we should be everywhere else in the world on human rights violations.
Exactly.
And so, you know, I mean, McCain should have just stopped him right there.
So you're saying that we shouldn't be in Iraq for any reason, including these human rights reasons that you would have sent troops there for.
That's very well perceived, very shrewd of you.
And of course, both answers are a lie.
He's not going to send the U.S. military around the world every time there's a human rights violation someplace.
And he would and the whole business about Iraq, he's just got to continue to play to his left-wing fringe base on that.
You know, Iraq is something that it's just, it's become something it isn't.
It's a symbol for Bush hatred, and he has to continue.
He's just triggering Bush hatred with the word Iraq.
But I think it's just amazing the things that he will say that he will do.
We don't have the, he's the one saying we're spread too thin now in two theaters.
So we've got to pull out of Iraq to be able to win in Afghanistan.
But every time there's a human rights violation, somewhere we're going to send in the troops?
By the way, somebody told me that he made mention of everybody having to join the Peace Corps not voluntary.
Did you hear that or see that?
Sometimes I get hieroglyphics messages from people, and I have trouble translating.
They always assume I know everything they're writing about, and if I don't, I'm clueless.
Harlan in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, good to be with you.
I got to ask you a question.
Sure.
What kind of phone are you on?
That's the best phone I've heard on a caller in months.
Just the General Electric phone.
Where did you buy it?
Oh, gosh.
One of those discount joints.
Whether it was Walmart or Kmart, I don't remember.
I knew it.
It wasn't some of these high-tech things, these high-tech stores, basic GE.
I didn't even know GE-made phones.
Yeah.
It's got some fancy things on it, like some memory, what is it, 12 memory spots for phone numbers and redial.
I don't need that.
Otherwise, I'd have never made it through these.
I've got to get a call 12 people, and I never call anybody back, so I don't need redial.
I don't need 12 storage numbers.
Does it have voicemail capability?
Oh, no.
It is better.
Even better, so nobody can clog up your phone with wasteful, worthless, bugging messages either.
I've got to go look into one of these.
I've got this Panasonic system with three lines on it, all these buttons to call every part of the house, and I never use it because I don't like it.
Yeah.
Rush, the reason I was calling is I'm a retired examiner for the Treasury Department.
No wonder you're using a GE phone.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've reviewed packages of loans and the mortgage-backed securities and all of that stuff.
And the reason I was calling was everybody's heard Obama saying, oh, I'm going to put all my emphasis into the student loans now.
And I want to remind everybody, anybody that paid any attention to student loans knows that we've already had to bail out Sally Mae because of all the delinquent loans that were there.
And it's just the mini version of the current things that's going on now.
And now he's going to go on and go a huge advance in that.
And they'll pull the same dumb garbage that they pulled before of, oh, no, Bank, we won't let you put in the contract that if you take this government loan, that 1% or 2% or 3% or 5% or 10% of your take-home pay check gets automatically sent to pay your loan.
Oh, no, that's just too cruel.
And we won't allow any of the judges that when you get into court that set up a solution when the thing ends up in a workout, that they can impose that kind of thing.
Oh, no, that's too cruel.
I mean, that's the kind of lunacy that the Democrats have been pulling on us.
I sat there when doing the exams when Bill Clinton took over and CRA clobbered us.
Yes, sir.
Everybody.
Unfair.
It is so unfair to enforce these rigorous standards that other people are forced to obey.
Can I read you something?
You're going to love this, Harlan.
This is Stanley Kurtz.
God bless Stanley Kurtz, National Review, and he's at the Ethics and Public Policy Institute as well.
And this guy, he has gone to Chicago.
He's trying to find out about the Ayers-Annenberg Challenge.
They've hidden some of the papers.
The Obama people have attacked him on radio and so forth.
Listen to this.
He has a piece on Acorn, Barack Obama, and the Democrat Party entitled Planting Seeds of Disaster at National Review Today.
Quote, you've got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank.
Your job pays dog food wages.
Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated.
You declared bankruptcy in 1989.
Don't despair.
You can still buy a house, unquote.
That is how an article in 1995 in April began in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective homebuyers, fitting this profile, to a far-left community organizer group called ACORN for assistance.
In respect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness.
But at the time, the 1995 Chicago newspaper article represented something of a triumph for Obama that same year.
As a director of Chicago's Woods Fund, Obama was successfully pushing for a major expansion of assistance to Acorn and sending still more money ACORN's way from his post as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
So in the Chicago Sun-Times, April of 1995, you only got a couple grand in the bank.
Your job pays your dog food wages.
Your credit history has been bent, stapled, mutilated.
You declared bankruptcy.
Don't despair.
You can still buy a house.
So, and these become worthless, and they have to be packaged and sold and fired up as securities or derivatives or whatever the hell they do with them.
Well, hey, the bankers I was at knew when they granted them, these were nothing they wanted.
So they never held them in their portfolio longer than it took to sell them.
And that Sally or Fanny or Freddie would be buying them immediately.
So if it was a $1 billion package, it might take a little longer than a half a million dollar than a $500 million project, or it might go to $10 million, so they'd have to have it on the books for three months before they could get enough together to the whole point.
It's worthless because the people can't repay it.
Obama paying ACORN, funding Acorn to go out and make these kinds of moves and put this kind of pressure on people.
And it's been a scheme from the get-go to create exactly what's happened.
I got to go.
I'm glad you called Harlan.
We'll be back here.
Continue in just a minute.
Louise in Indianapolis, Obama was there today.
Were you there?
I sure am.
Mega, mega, mega ditto's rush.
We love you here in Indianapolis.
I'm calling because I think this Obama quote tax rebate is the biggest scam going.
He's going to let the Bush tax cuts expire.
It's going to jack up everybody's taxes, including those making over $250.
He's going to slap another tax on top of that, and then he's going to give us a measly some undetermined amount percentage for one year back.
Yeah, big whoop.
But it's fake because he's going to raise the taxes when he lets the tax cuts expire.
Yeah, this, I know, that is a tax increase, but I'll tell you something else.
This business that he's going to cut taxes on 95% of the American.
Only 70%, barely 70%, are paying taxes.
And by the time Obama gets through, the number paying taxes will be 37%.
Not 30%.
43% will be paying taxes.
And the balance will not be.
By the time he gets through with this, this is, and that would be so easy to swat out of the park.
95% are going to get a tax cut.
You know, this is a dirty little secret is that Obama's secret new voting block is the 30% of people that don't pay taxes now.
They're the ones that want everybody else's taxes raised so they can live off of it from the government.
And we're doing peeings to these people that don't pay taxes.
Oh, the poor middle class.
Oh, we've got to cut their taxes.
They've had their taxes cut.
Now they're paying payroll taxes.
But when it comes to income taxes, they're not paying it.
30% of American taxpayers don't pay income tax.
Not 30% of the population.
30% of taxpayers don't pay federal income tax.
And he runs around saying 95% of the American people are going to get a tax cut.
It doesn't work out.
The numbers don't work out.
Thank you, Louise.
Carrie in Frisco, Texas.
Hello.
Yes, it's Carrie, C-A-R-R-I-E, Carrie.
What did I say?
I thought you said Perry.
No, no, no.
I said Carrie.
What kind of phone do you have?
I've got a Panasonic like you do, I think.
Yeah, that's the problem.
Anyway, Rush, I'm going to tell you, I'm 68 and a half years old, and I am fit to be tied over this election, totally fit to be tied.
I'm either going to get a divorce or have a stroke or a heart attack before it's over because I'm driving my husband crazy with all of this stuff.
But anyway, what I'm really calling you about today is about the debate last night.
Yeah.
Is it just me or it appeared to me that these people that were there that supposedly they were their questions?
They couldn't even read the question.
I thought that they write.
I thought there was, yeah, I just was going through the sound bites here.
There was one question from a Teresa Finch.
How can we trust either and you with our money when both parties got it and it is global economic?
Now, I guarantee you, there is not an average citizen that talks that way.
Global economic.
And furthermore, both.
They just were not intelligent enough to write those kind of questions.
They couldn't even read them.
Yeah, well, you're making a good point.
Brokaw made sure that Obama was protected.
Oh, yeah.
The reason McCain likes these town halls is because he likes interacting with the people, not some guy they dragged out of Jurassic Park and a mausoleum.
And they had these questions, and they made sure that abortion didn't come up, immigration didn't come up, gun control didn't come up, all of these issues that are crucially important to people in a presidential race.
It was just the same old stuff we've heard over and over again, just the generic stuff, you know?
Yep, yep, yep.
But I don't think for one minute those people wrote those questions.
I'll never believe it.
Well, you never know.
There are a bunch of moderates in there.
They had to be a bunch of moderate undecideds.
But do you think they wrote them?
I don't know.
They didn't read them.
If it was their question, they couldn't even write them.
I'm telling you, it's sort of like, it's sort of like, have you ever watched a golf tournament on a golf channel?
Yeah.
They've got a couple people at golf channel that, like a guy will sink a par putt, and the announcer babe will say, and he authors a par.
Nobody authors a par on a golf course.
You make a par.
And nobody, I'm going to play golf this afternoon.
I'm not going to, if I make a par, I'm not going to turn to my body.
Look at me.
I just authored a par.
Well, in the same token, you're not going to have somebody, the global economic crisis.
Yeah, right.
Average citizens are going to, the average citizens go, what the hell is happening to my IRA?
And what the hell are you going to do about it?
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
