Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back.
It's Rushlin Boy and the EIB Network.
Great to have you with us.
It's the fastest three hours in media and also the fastest weekend.
If you're just joining us, a raucous weekend here, and I'm just a little hoarse from it.
And I am doing my professional best to cover for the hoarseness.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
If you'd like to join us, the email address, LRushbo at EIBNet.com.
If you just joined us, I spent a lot of the first hour exposing one of the greatest efforts by Obama at mischaracterization, misrepresentation, perhaps out and out lying.
And that is his claim that most small businesses earn less than $250,000.
He doesn't specify net or gross.
I don't know.
He's the guy to ask, not me.
I don't think he even knows what he's saying.
I think it's a campaign tactic.
The $250,000 figure is a magical number for him.
Anybody above it is going to get a tax increase, he says.
Anybody below it is going to get a tax cut.
But that's a lie, too.
He twice voted to raise taxes on seniors.
He said he would eliminate federal income taxes for seniors earning less than $50,000.
However, he twice voted for a budget resolution that would have raised taxes on anybody earning $42,000 a year.
This little socialist squirrel cannot keep his lies straight.
But it doesn't matter because the drive-bys are not demanding any information or explanation from him on this.
They are helping him promote all of these things.
Senator Obama, and this is from MSNBC's first read or NBC's first read, well, MSNBC, posted Thursday, October 2nd, Barack Obama voted twice in favor of the Democrats' FY 2009 budget resolution that would raise taxes on those making just $42,000 a year.
He's out there saying, if you make $250,000 or more, you get a tax increase.
If you make less, you get a tax cut.
He's lying.
All the minutiae, all the details here are not that relevant.
Now, one other thing I want to say, just an additional thing about before we get some audio soundbites here, Bill Crystal has a column today in the New York Times lamenting the McCain campaign.
Yeah, the McCain campaign got to be fired.
Got to fire the McCain campaign.
That's how he opens it up.
It's time for John McCain to fire his campaign.
Well, now, got me to thinking about something.
In the first place, McCain, or rather, David Brooks and Bill Crystal, when they both were at the Weekly Standard back in 2001, wrote a long piece.
I have it here.
I'm not going to read it to you.
We'll link to it at rushlinbla.com for later this afternoon.
They wrote a long piece defining conservatism, redefining conservatism.
What was wrong with American conservatism was there wasn't any America in it.
Conservatism was elite.
It was special.
It was for a select few.
We need to broaden it, is their point.
And they were both touting McCain as the nominee in 2000 and in 2008.
They got exactly what they were going to get.
This is the campaign they wanted.
They wanted a campaign reaching out to try to get Democrats to vote for Republicans.
They wanted a campaign trying to get independents to vote for Republicans.
They wanted a campaign that de-emphasized the Republican base.
They've got it.
And now they say fire the campaign.
Fire themselves.
I've never met Brooks.
I know Bill Crystal, and I like him.
I haven't seen him in a while, but I've always had a very civil relationship with him.
And he's come under fire several times in his career, and I was took up for him.
But this never made any sense to me.
Now they've got exactly what they want.
And it's not just these two.
It's not just Brooks and Crystal.
There's a bunch of people on our side, the so-called conservative media, who have been wanting to de-emphasize Reagan conservatism.
I mean, they said the era of Reagan's over, but notice the era of FDR is never over.
Notice the era of LBJ is never over.
But yeah, the era of Reagan is over.
We've got to redefine conservatism.
I'm sorry.
They got the exact campaign they wanted.
And now they want it.
They don't like it.
Well, what the hell did they, what did they expect was going to happen when you have a campaign, Republican campaign that is going to emphasize attracting Democrats and moderates in order to win.
I remember back earlier in this year when McCain pulled the nomination out of the fire with the help of Huckabee.
And I remember warning you.
Folks, I don't know, I'm not crazy about this idea of going out and attracting Democrats as Democrats.
And going out and attracting independents as independents, Reagan moved the country to the right.
Reagan didn't get Democrat votes by telling Democrats they're going to be comfortable as Democrats in the Republican Party because we're going to de-emphasize conservatism.
Reagan made several million Democrats like conservatism, so he attracted him.
But the McCain campaign strategy always was to play off the fact of how well he reaches across the aisle.
Okay, so where are we?
Well, I'm looking into polling numbers.
You're going to spread anywhere from 11 to 4.5 or 5 points.
And as I look at the internals, I don't see a whole lot of Democrats voting for McCain.
I don't see it.
I never did see it, but others said they thought it was going to happen.
Where are they?
Where are these Democrats voting for McCain?
Where are the independents that are voting for McCain?
A story today.
Now, this is the AP, so, you know, it's worth the toilet paper here that they write it on.
Independents split evenly between Obama and McCain.
Well, if that's true, then they're awash, and it doesn't matter what they do.
If they're split evenly, they ain't the answer.
Right?
Now, my guess is they're not split evenly.
They're probably tilting McCain, which is why the AP, AP Obama, wrote this BS.
As Election Day approaches, though, independents are sounding more like Democrats than Republicans.
Well, that's because they are.
It's because they are.
Independents are Democrats in waiting.
What caused McCain to surge?
It was the choice of Palin.
Who's Palin?
She's a conservative down the line.
Maybe a couple detours here and there, but she's a conservative.
They're trying to, by the way, diminish her by saying she's a populist.
Drive-bys do they have stories?
If this woman's the future of the Republican Party, the Republican Party's dead.
That's what they're writing today.
Well, we can take that to mean just the exact opposite.
If she or somebody like her is the future of the Republican Party, Democrats have a lot to worry about.
Okay, so McCain goes out and chooses Palin, surprise move.
At that point, you could say, aren't too many Democrats now going to cross the aisle.
Because why would a Democrat, rock-ribbed conservative perception is pro-life down syndrome, baby?
This is not the way you go out and attract Democrats.
And McCain's been trying to do it, but apparently it's not working.
So what is it that these guys all learn too late in the game?
And by the way, I do not think it's too late in the game.
I still think this is wide open, and I still think there's a great chance.
That's why I'm talking about all this stuff today.
There is a great chance if a full-fledged conservative twist, turn, whatever, in these last three weeks can make a huge difference.
Because if you're a Republican candidate, you're not going to win without your base being fired up.
And Palin's done that.
And it's incumbent upon the campaign.
Fire the campaign.
I don't know.
Candidates to campaign here.
But it certainly is not too late for this.
Let's listen.
In fact, Ed Grab Soundbites 2728.
This is this morning in Virginia Beach.
Virginia is now a swing state.
We used to own this state, but Obama's running TV ads in North Carolina or North Virginia, which is the populated D.C. suburbs.
They're running campaigns about how wonderful his white mother is.
His white grandmother is running as a Caucasian in Northern Virginia.
And he's been doing this with local TV ads all along.
Palin today at a joint rally, we have two soundbites.
Here's the first.
We know that all across America right now, there's a lot of anger.
There's anger about the insider dealing of lobbyists and anger about the greed on Wall Street and anger about the arrogance of the Washington elite and anger about voter fraud.
America, America, let John McCain turn that anger into action.
See, as a senator, John has confronted the corrupt ways of Washington and the wasteful spending and the abuses of power.
As president, he's going to end those once and for all.
Here's the second bite.
We have 22 days to go.
We're six points down.
The national media has written us off.
Senator Obama, Senator Obama is measuring the drapes and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reed to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections and concede defeat in Iraq and concede defeat in Iraq.
My friends, I won't concede defeat.
I'll bring our troops home with victory and with honor.
My friends, but you know, you know what they forgot?
They forgot to let you decide.
My friends, we've got them just where we want them.
In a way, he's right.
In a way, we do have them right where we want them because they think it's over.
He's right.
They're measuring the drapes.
Pelosi and Hoyer are planning a post-Obama election special session of Congress.
Anytime somebody with three weeks to go is this sure that it's over, this sure it's in the bag, they are ripe.
It's going to take the right approaches to do so, but they are.
It is not over by any stretch of the imagination.
I got to take a brief time out.
We'll do it.
Be back right after this.
Don't go away.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I just became aware of something.
This could be interesting.
I mean, this could be very, very big.
And it involves my congressman.
Now, I want to take you back to the 2006 midterm elections.
Are you, ladies and gentlemen, remember why those elections actually were lost?
It's because of the word macaca in the Senate by George Allen and Mark Foley, who was not our congressman.
He's close by, but he's not our congressman.
Mark Foley and the text messages to the pages, House Pages.
And that allowed the Democrats and the media to talk to talking about the culture of corruption that existed in the House of Representatives, how horrible it was.
And for six weeks, it was maca and Foley, macaca and foley, never-ending investigations.
Try this.
This is from ABC News.
West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.
Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising.
A Mahoney spokesperson would not answer questions about the alleged affair or the settlement, but said that Allen resigned of her own accord and has not received any special payment from campaign funds.
Senior Democrat leaders in the House of Representatives, including Representative Rom Emmanuel, Democrat Illinois, the chair of the Democrat caucus, have been working with Mahoney to keep the matter from hurting his reelection campaign.
This from Mahoney staffers.
A spokesman for Emmanuel denies that account, but said that Emmanuel did confront Mahoney upon hearing a rumor about an affair in 2007 and told him he was in public life and he had a public responsibility to act accordingly.
The spokesperson added that it was a private conversation, had nothing to do with Mahoney's reelection prospects.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, was Rom Emmanuel involved in the hush money effort?
Did the Democrats circle the wagons around Tim Mahoney in order to keep this news and the payment of $121,000, the hush money payment of $121,000 to the mistress?
Did they circle the wagons and was Rom Emmanuel involved in this?
Let us see, Chuckle Chuckle, how aggressive the drive-by media is on this.
Let's see if they run story after story about this as they did with Foley.
But here we actually have Emmanuel named, a top House Democrat, big lieutenant to Pelosi.
To what extent was he involved in this hush money cover-up?
And who else knew about it?
I'll tell you this.
We know that this is far more egregious and criminal than anything Foley did.
Foley was sending text messages.
Pure and simple.
This will continue to unfold before our very eyes and ears.
At least it will here.
But again, this is from ABC News.
We'll see how eager they are to follow it up.
This is my congressman, Snurdy.
This is my congressman having an affair a year after he gets elected on the basis of some so-called sex scandal involving Mark Foley.
Now he's out there having an affair with a woman who was blackmailing him, threatening to sue him, so he pays her off $121,000.
And all the Democrats can say, well, it didn't come from campaign money.
Didn't come from campaign.
We lectured him.
We told him he's got to live a responsible life.
Rahm Emmanuel named.
Here's Carl.
We're going to go to the phones.
We're going to start Jacksonville, Florida.
Hi, Carl.
Nice to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how you doing, Rush?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
When you were talking about the small businesses, I mean, I'm probably the smallest business owner right now.
And you can, you know, when you talk about people having owning small businesses, because I'm a single-man operation, I'm trying to make my business grow, and I know it's going to grow.
And it's going to do well past 250 gross.
That's what I'm talking about.
And my concern is, what's my incentive then to hire guys to even make this business grow if I'm going to get taxed up to yin-yang that he's talking about, Obama?
And I don't think it's, I think he's talking about gross.
I don't think he's talking about income because small businesses, I mean, there's thousands of us out there that own small businesses and do this.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
We don't know what he's talking about.
Well, that's the thing.
And that's what he's talking about.
We don't know if he's talking income.
We don't know if he's talking gross.
We don't know.
And he doesn't either.
None of this is true.
The $250,000 figure and his statement that 95 or most 95% of small businesses earn less than that, gross, net, inventory, whatever.
It's just the magic figure to play the class envy card.
But he's got to clarify that because it's scary.
I mean, and I'm telling you, everybody I know is a small business owner.
They have to go back to the business.
Let me ask you a question.
Sure.
This statement that he's going to raise taxes on people over $250,000, he's made it numerous times in the campaign.
It was last week in the town hall presidential debate where he said small businesses, the vast majority of them, are $250,000 or less.
He didn't clarify, specify anything.
You say, well, he's going to have to be forced to explain it.
Other than today, have you heard anybody even reference the fact he said it in that debate?
No.
That's did you watch the debate?
Did you watch the debate yourself?
Yes, I did.
You didn't even pick up on it then until I talked about it today.
I wish he did.
I've been talking about it for the past month, and I don't hear anybody talking about it and trying to get more specific on it.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's crazy because there are a lot of small businesses that make over $250,000.
When I say I'm not, I just started last year, and my business will go over $250,000 because I know it can.
And I know there's, and the guys that I do business with and the people that are around me that do own small businesses are doing more than $250,000 a year.
And that's what's going on.
Look, I got very little time.
Your friends know what's headed for them?
Yes, they do.
And that's why we're not voting for Barack Obama.
All right.
Well, if you run into people, that doesn't matter.
Don't use Obama's name.
Well, you'll have to use Obama's name.
Just you run into other small businesses who don't know what's in store for them.
Tell them.
We'll be back after this.
Well, now this is interesting.
We have an A.P. Obama story that just cleared the wires about 45 minutes ago.
Democrat Barack Obama calling for a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a two-year tax break for businesses that create jobs as part of a plan to heal the nation's economy.
The presidential candidate says that banks that participate in the federal bailout should temporarily postpone foreclosures for families making good faith efforts to my wide open.
Postpone foreclosures for families making good faith efforts?
What's a good faith effort?
You're one month behind.
You're two months behind.
You're six months behind and you're not mowing a yard.
What's a good faith effort?
Wait, this gets better.
And by the way, two-year tax break for businesses that create jobs.
Well, what business would not go out and create a job?
If all you have to do to get a two-year tax break is go out and create a job, who wouldn't do that?
So it can't be, there's got to be businesses that create jobs.
What's that mean?
How many jobs?
And not only how many, but who must you hire in those jobs.
Let us not forget who we're talking about here.
We're talking about the United Socialist States of America.
He also called for a $3,000 tax credit for each additional full-time job a business creates.
That tax break would end after 2010.
So whoopee-doo?
You get a one-year tax break of $3,000 or tax credit for every additional full-time job you hire?
So Obama is going to replace the market, but only for one year, and then all of a sudden you don't get the tax credit after you've hired these people for every full-time job.
Doesn't say small business.
For every full-time job a business creates, Obama is also proposing letting people withdraw up to $10,000 from their retirement accounts without any penalty this year and next as a way of, Obama, do you know that there isn't much left in them?
Barry, there's not a whole lot left in people's retirement accounts right now.
But beyond that, Barry, do you know what your guys in the House are doing?
George Miller is crafting legislation that would eliminate this tax break for a lot of people who deduct money from their pay to go into their 401k.
And then the last line, I get this.
This is Christopher Willis at the Associated Press, Obama.
The Obama campaign emphasizes these ideas can be done quickly, either through executive order or legislation.
The AP, a press release for the Obama campaign.
Now, one other thing about this Tim Mahoney business, this infuriates me over what happened in 2006.
Get Macaca out of there, get Mark Foley out of there.
Neither of those two guys did anything that warranted the kind of investigation, the kind of intense scrutiny.
Rahm Emmanuel was all worked up about Mark Foley, if you remember, folks.
He demanded an ethics investigation.
The media joined in.
They started shouting about the culture corruption and all that.
Now we have an accusation that Rah Emmanuel was involved in the cover-up of Congressman Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, who paid $121,000 in hush money to a mistress who was threatening to sue him.
Rahm Emmanuel knew of the money payments.
We know the Democrat Congress won't look into this.
But now we shall see just how worthless the media are, as if we don't already know if they'll keep this as a one-day flash in the pen story or if they'll determine whether the House Democrat leadership was involved in the hush money.
You know, it is interesting.
Somebody wrote the other day over the weekend, and go back to Bill Clinton's second term, and it was fascinating.
It was fascinating.
For a time, the drive-bys were actually obsessed with finding a blue dress and a cigar.
Even though the blue dress and a cigar would provide problems for Bill Clinton, they couldn't wait.
They were doing everything.
They were discrediting everybody On the right in the process, but they were still desperate to get hold of that dress and the cigar.
They wanted to find out what happened, probably so they could cover it up, but they still wanted to find out what happened.
There's no desire here to find out anything about Obama.
All they want to do is cover up Obama.
And we will see if their salacious interests.
Well, hell, what am I talking about?
We already know.
They had to be dragged and kicking and screaming by the National Inquirer to the Brett Girl story.
So I'm not expecting this is going to be a one-day flash in the pan, and not even ABC is going to take it much farther than this.
Because what ABC will say, well, this doesn't reach the threshold of continuing because he was reprimanded by the Democrat leadership.
Then they'll say the Republican leadership tried to cover up Foley.
They try to keep anybody from knowing it.
Oh, well, we can say, well, the Democrat leadership knew of the hush money payment.
What we want to know is, did Emmanuel suggest it?
Did the Democrat leadership suggest this?
We know they knew about it.
Foley was never accused of paying anybody anything to buy their silence.
This is far more serious than the Foley matter.
Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, he paid the ultimate price.
He left Congress altogether.
So you might want to say, what does Pelosi know?
She's supposed to know everything that goes on in there.
If she knew nothing, how is that possible?
Isn't it her job to know in an election year who of her members are vulnerable?
Damn well she knows this.
You damn well straight she has to know about this story.
So you had a Republican Congress thrown out of there because it was said to spend too much.
This Democrat Congress has spent hundreds of billions more than that Congress.
They were thrown out before they were because they said to be steeped in corruption, yet this scandal is far worse than Foley.
We shall see.
Well, let's see.
Let's go to Mike in Detroit.
Mike, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Outstanding.
I want to talk a little bit about the tax situation also as it relates to small business.
And something I think that John McCain needs to get his arms around very, very quickly because I really don't think he sort of gets what we are going through out here.
Barack Obama is definitely Captain Nebulous, no doubt about it.
And I do believe he's talking about individual income as opposed to just corporate income.
But let me explain quickly how that adds up.
I've got about a $25 million company here.
We employ several hundred people, mostly in the Midwest, but throughout the country.
And there are thousands of businesses between the, let's say, $5 million and $50 million in revenue companies around the United States that are providing most of the job creation that we have today.
When you take the income that we have as individuals, the way the tax structures work for most private companies is whatever earnings we have, pre-tax earnings the company has, are added on top of your personal income.
And that makes people with high-growth businesses well, well over that $250,000 range.
And you are going to smack us down in our ability to create jobs.
No question.
Well, hold a second.
I'm a little confused because you've got a business, you say $25,000 to how much?
$35 million business?
Our business is $25 million, yes.
$25 million.
And you think, I would assume that Obama's number is $250,000.
What do you think?
We don't know.
What do you think he means that $250,000 is?
Well, I think he means the income from the business.
But what I'm saying is, he's right about one thing, and that is that the majority of the people.
Okay, hold it, hold it, because you've got to help me out here.
You're a $25 million small business.
Do you earn less than $250,000 a year on it?
No.
Well, of course not.
No.
And that's what I'm saying: 75% of the jobs today in America that are being created are being created by small businesses.
Exactly right.
And the growth companies in there are usually in the $5 to $50 million range are still considered small businesses, under 500 employees.
We're the ones that are going to get just absolutely slap silly.
And our ability to create jobs is going to be seriously impaired.
You throw the in the takeaway the cap on the Social Security tax and make that unlimited, it becomes Armageddon.
Oh, I know.
I don't know if he's going to make it unlimited, but he's certainly going to raise the ceiling.
No question.
There's no question of it.
You guys, we're all going to get soaked.
I mean, this is the point.
We're all going to get soaked, even in an economy like this.
Well, and that's it.
I mean, right now, it sounded to me with what you were talking about earlier, like I'm going to get a tax break on my tax increase.
Is that what I'm hearing?
Yes.
A tax cut on your tax increase.
This guy's a train wreck looking for a pair of tracks.
Unfortunately, I think he's found them.
Well, look, I maintain that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Oh, I don't think there's any question.
I think he's got some economic people down there preparing all this.
He's not economic people.
He has got political people putting together an economic proposal that uses this magic number to convince most people that everybody but them is going to get soaked.
And this comes after they keep saying eight years of nothing but tax cuts for the wealthy.
And this economy is in the dregs because of tax cuts for the wealthy.
And so those people, those rich people who caused me to lose my house, this is the theory from Obama campaign headquarters.
They're going to pay now.
Obama's going to stick it to them.
It's the old-class envy business.
You know, in the past, it's been debatable as to how effective it's been.
It didn't work for Mondal and Carter against Ronaldus Magnus.
It didn't work for Al Gore and John Kerry against Bush.
But they weren't in as dire economic circumstances as it did work for Clinton, you might say, in 1992, but that also happened when perception was that we were also in the worst economy in the last 50 years.
This is why I've been trying to reach out to people, regardless what your political persuasion is.
I know a lot of Democrats own small businesses, and I know a lot of Democrats work for small businesses.
And you're going to get, we're all going to get soaked if this guy actually implements what he is promising to implement.
So now we're at tax cuts if you create a job.
That's the latest economic proposal from the Obama political team.
Tax cuts if you create a job.
You could also say that Obama's, this is the kind of thinking that would lead Obama to try to get Representative Mahoney's mistress a job so that she shuts up the rest of the election cycle.
Now, is Obama also saying that if you lower taxes, that you encourage businesses to create jobs?
If he's going to give businesses just for a year a $3,000 tax credit that create a full-time job, is he not admitting that cutting taxes creates jobs?
Obama does not know what he's talking about.
He is repeating it and regurgitating it according to his political people.
I am not more clear than ever before on this.
Well, let's see here.
Stock market up 583.
I'm waiting for Obama to take credit for it.
Gasoline price is down on average, 30 cents, 35 cents across the country, waiting for Obama to take the credit for it.
The war in Iraq is going well.
The Iraqi stock market is booming, by the way.
And they're just doing marvelous things.
They're oil contracts over there and production.
And we all know that's due to Bush embracing the Obama exit strategy.
And let's say we have we've sent more forces to Afghanistan, by the way, which is having an immediate impact.
100 or so Taliban people dead today.
And we know that's due to Bush following Obama's proposal to send more forces there.
I'm just giving you tomorrow's headlines.
Obama says stock market up on his advice on how to deal with it.
But you know this is going to happen.
This is the way the drive-bys are playing this.
This is Sherry in New Brunfills, Texas.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Sherry.
Yes.
Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
Just a great honor.
Hey, thanks for giving us a voice.
Small business person here with a son who will be headed to Iraq in January.
God bless.
Hey, what I want to talk to you about today is the Democrats' plan to spend your way out of debt for America.
And it goes against everything I was ever raised to believe.
And I do not, I'm so frustrated that Americans are falling for this.
It just frustrates me to no end.
Well, not all Americans are, but enough are.
And the reason they're falling for it is because they're the one getting the spending.
They're the ones receiving it.
They're the ones that are not going to be foreclosed on.
They're the ones.
The Fannie Maid gang, the people who should have never been went the money in the first place.
Extended unemployment benefits so people don't have to look for a job.
Obama's proposing that even right now.
Immediate relief to family.
They're talking about another economic stimulus package.
They're talking about expanding food stamps.
And so, yeah, you can't get your business or your household out of debt by spending like crazy, but they can because the people that get the spending, enough of them that vote.
Well, Rush, you know, there's intelligence is one thing, but wisdom is another.
And there are some just wise facts that I think many Americans were raised with that is kind of falling off the table.
And one of those is nothing in life is free.
Nothing.
Oh, we got rid of that in this country.
Where were you, 30, 40 years ago?
There's a growing percentage of people in this country since the New Deal who think that there certainly are things for free, and they write free to them.
They're not free to you and me and others who pay for it, but there are a lot of people who get free stuff.
But it's not free.
But some of the things that it is.
I know, but they don't.
As I mentioned, Obama's got this new voting group, this new voting bloc.
The 30 or 35 percent of people don't pay federal income taxes.
He's trying to make them into a single voting bloc.
That's who he's going after with his $250,000 figure that he's thrown around all over the place.
And all this stuff about tax cuts for the rich causing this economic climate that we're in.
The greed, the Wall Street greed, and everybody but the people who are really responsible for this housing problem are being pointed fingers at by Obama.
And that group of people is believing it.
They're not enough to win an election by themselves, but that's why this stuff's a constant battle.
The Democrat Party is doing and will continue to do what it has always done, actually since LBJ.
The last Democrat in the old days that I really knew was a Democrat, JFK.
LBJ came in with the New Deal 2.
Great society, war on poverty.
It didn't work.
New Deal 1 didn't either.
But don't try to tell anybody that.
They think you're nuts.
They think it saved us from the Depression.
New Deal 2 didn't work, so let's, by all means, try New Deal 3.
And we're in the midst of it.
Now, they're not enough to win an election, but that's why they always have to be funny.
I love relying on the character, the strength, and the wisdom of the American people.
But you have to keep educating people for that wisdom and strength and character to maintain because the left is going to perpetually try to dumb them down.
We'll be back.
Have you heard a Democrat congressman?
My Congress had an affair in 2007 and paid off the mistress $121,000 to shut her up.
Have you heard about this?
You haven't?
