Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else happens to be saying for a simple reason.
Host's views are correct, and they are correct because of a relentless, unstoppable daily pursuit of the truth, which we find and are happy to proclaim.
Looking forward to talking to you, 800-282-2882, and the email address LRushbow at EIBnet.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, remember the plumber that Barack Obama ran into Sunday in Toledo.
He's campaigning door-to-door, and he ran into a local plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher.
And Wurzelbacher said this to Obama.
He said, your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?
It's not that I want to punish your success.
I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance at success, too.
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for it.
And there it would have ended.
And in fact, we may never have heard of this if left to the mainstream media, if left to the drive-by media.
We probably would not know that this exchange had happened.
However, with the advent of new media and so forth, Neil Cavuto over at Fox got the plumber on his program yesterday afternoon, the plumber again from Toledo, Joe Wurzelbacher.
And Cavuto said, Joe, did Obama win you over?
No, and his answer actually scared me even more.
How so?
He said he wants to distribute wealth.
And I mean, that's kind of a socialist viewpoint.
It's not the government to decide that I make a little too much and so I need to share it with other people.
That's not the American dream.
Now, this guy's a plumber.
Could we assume that when most people, particularly political scientists and pollsters, think of plumbers, they think of blue-collar.
And they think of blue-collar as automatic Democrat.
They think union, blue-collar, automatic Democrat, because Democrats are for the working guy, which has always been a myth, but that's the image.
Democrats for the working guy.
So here is Joe Wurzelbacher.
He wants to distribute wealth.
That's kind of a socialist viewpoint.
It's not the government to decide that I make a little too much, so I need to share it with people.
That is exactly the way to describe Obama.
Robin Hood, redistributing wealth.
We're going to take, and we're going to redistribute.
We're going to decide when you have enough.
And remember, the American dream ends at $250,000 with Barack Obama in the Oval Office.
Because once you get to $250,000, that's when your tax rates go up to the point that it's going to be very hard for your income to rise.
You're not going to be able to save as much because Obama's going to take it from you.
Now, this Robin Hood business, we've got to be careful that we do not malign and impugn Robin Hood.
Robin Hood took from the state.
Robin Hood went back and took from the sheriff of Nottingham.
Remember, Robin Hood was trying to take what the state had already stolen and give it back to the people of Sherwood Forest.
To say that Robin Hood is the equivalent of Obama is to malign and impugn Robin Hood.
I remember watching Robin Hood when I was growing up.
And I remember the sheriff of Nottingham was as evil looking as that guy on Lost in Space.
Might have been the same guy for all I know.
We have more.
Cavuto says, you didn't seem remotely intimidated or prone to back down.
Normally, when somebody even in the media meets the candidate, whether they agree or disagree, they're just sort of starstruck.
You didn't seem any of that.
What's the deal?
I honestly didn't feel any kind of sense of presence with him.
I mean, he was just another guy peddling his viewpoint is how I looked at it.
And I mean, so, no, I didn't get that starstruck feeling or anything like that, which I was kind of disappointed in.
I kind of expected it.
I figured I'd, you know, tumble over my tongue a couple times, but it happened.
Cavuto then said, well, you know, you're the type of guy who the tax increases, this could affect where the cutoff is could affect.
And you don't fit this gazillionaire model, Joe.
You're a plumber.
In other words, you're not the Henry Kravitz types.
And you're in that group that would see your taxes increase.
What do you think of that?
I'm living a simple middle-class home.
Most of the homes go from anywhere from $90,000 at the lowest to maybe $140,000 at the highest.
You know, just working.
And, you know, when I do purchase the rest of this company and move forward, I'll be living there still because I won't, you know, one, I don't want to keep up with the Joneses.
And two, I couldn't really afford a bigger house.
You know, I'm going to have to work hard to make that company go.
You know, I want to put more trucks on the road.
And his tax increase has kind of hurts that aspect.
And Cavuto then said, well, some people interpreted his remark as sort of Robin Hoodish, Joe, that it was a redistribution of wealth taking from guys like you to help people who are not as well off as you.
What do you think of that?
Robin Hood sold from greedy rich people and redistributed to the peasants, so to speak.
So if he's calling us peasants, I kind of resent that.
I'm the same class of people that, you know, I went from paycheck to paycheck, you know, living to, you know, finally being able to save some money.
And it's just, you know, you work and the hard work.
That's the American dream to me.
You work hard, you're going to get what you want eventually.
It's not going to happen overnight by no means, but you work hard enough, you'll get it.
And I just resent the government or Barack Obama's plan to take more away from me.
That's Joe the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher in Toledo, Ohio, who confronted Obama.
Obama said, well, you know, I just think we need to spread the wealth around, spread it around.
And this is a guy, as I say, who most people would consider to be blue-collar, an automatic Obama supporter.
But he wants no party.
You hear this guy?
He wants to expand the plumbing business he has.
He wants to buy more trucks.
He wants to hire people.
He just said he won't be able to do it.
He won't be able to hire more people if Obama's elected.
Trust me, there are more small business out there, people like this out there than you will ever know because the drive-bys are not going to focus on them.
In a just media world, if there was a media that was truly just and objective, and forget objective, if they were just curious, my gosh, folks, if they were just curious, here's a guy they think to be an automatic Obama supporter, and he's not, and they're not even curious about why.
What they want to do is cover him up.
Now, I mentioned this earlier.
This is a story here in the Wall Street Journal.
As economy weakens, sports feel a chill.
The crisis in financial markets sending a chill through the sports industry, cooling the ardor of many longtime season ticket holders and formerly deep-pocketed corporate sponsors.
Fans have packed the nation's stadiums for the baseball playoffs this fall, and end zone tickets for next month's football game between the Giants and the Cowboys are fetching hundreds of dollars.
But as the upheaval in global markets, mounting job losses in the U.S., and other signs of a worsening economy continue to undermine consumer confidence, it is already clear that sports will not escape unscathed.
Brett Jormark, chief executive of the National Basketball Association's New Jersey Nets, said we're not just competing for people's entertainment dollars anymore.
We're going up against milk and orange juice.
And he's right.
You know, the sports does compete for the leisure time dollar.
And in a lot of places, there aren't any leisure time dollars.
There's certainly not enough to afford what it costs to go to a sports team.
I just noticed that the New York Mets moving into a new stadium next year have sold out their primo club seats already.
So the economy is still sufficient for some of them.
But I have a couple of things that came to mind as I read the story.
You have to think about it a little.
And when you do, you realize how blessed we have been the last eight years.
As they say where I grew up, we've been in high cotton.
We have been in high cotton.
Why is that?
Why have people had wild amounts of money?
And why have people had disposable income?
Why have people been able to improve and enhance their lifestyles?
One reason is tax cuts.
There is no disputing that.
And it's beyond me why something so simple that works every time it's done does not get done more often.
Although, from the Democrat side, I understand it fully.
They don't want this kind of prosperity.
Obama does not want an America with this kind of prosperity.
Look at his tax plan and you'll see it.
Go talk to the plumber in Toledo.
He knows it.
Obama does not desire this kind of prosperity.
This kind of prosperity threatens the modern-day Democrat Party because it gives you mobility and gives you freedom.
And they want to control as much of your life as possible.
Now, take a look at what was happening.
And this is the thing that really struck me, though.
And I have a story.
We had these stories all last week and the week before about how the scientific community is all upset with the economy going south.
We may not be able to fund global warming research and all these things.
Ask yourselves a question here just in the past month.
How many stories on global warming and the end of the world have you seen?
You haven't seen any.
In fact, you've probably seen, the AP had a story last week.
Suddenly global warming is not so important.
And we find out today there's a story in the stack that the Arctic glaciers have actually grown because it's getting colder.
When I read that, I got infuriated.
I must tell you, everything the liberals tell us is a lie.
Global warming is a hoax, all these things.
But the fascinating thing is that when we are prosperous and when we are doing well, people have all kinds of time on their hands to invest in silly little causes, to make themselves feel relevant, to give them a sense that their lives have meaning.
But you let the economy hit the skids.
And guess what?
All these petty little causes just are forgotten.
Nobody cares about global warming right now.
Nobody except the people that are involved in it trying to make sure that taxes get raised for that.
Now, if Obama is elected, we're going to have taxes raised for global warming because he does look at it as what it is, a further opportunity to control people.
But I'm talking about just the general population.
In the last month, have your kids come home from school?
Mommy, mommy, the poli birds, the ice and milk that we got to do something about global warming.
Mommy, mommy, mommy, did you see where the Animal Guns South America are dying because they're going to down the rainforest, mommy?
Have you heard any of that from your kids coming home from school?
Has your school demanded that you come in and watch Al Gore's propaganda movie with the students in the past month?
No, what everybody's doing now studying Barack Obama.
The schools are telling the kids how great Obama is and how great same-sex marriage is.
First graders are going on field trips in San Francisco to see their teacher get married to her lesbian lover.
They're not talking about global warming.
point is that when prosperity reigns, all kinds of freaks have all kinds of time on their hands to get involved in a bunch of things that are really not important and really made-up things.
But when economic times are tough or people perceive they're tough, then the focus gets really serious.
And when people get really serious, guess what they stop thinking about?
All these frivolous things.
such as global warming and other related environmentalist wacko issues.
Have you heard anybody say, we got to stop buying SUVs during this period of time to save the planet?
No, you hear people saying, my gosh, I wish people could start driving some cars, buy some new cars here, but they can't because of the economic crunch.
Dealerships are shutting down, all this, all this sort of stuff.
We're to the point now where dealers, everybody else would be happy if somebody had the money to go out and buy an SUV.
Six weeks ago, an SUV was going to kill the planet.
Today it'll save it.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
I want to go back, ladies and gentlemen, to this little joke I made at the top of the hour.
The Obama campaign sending out debate talking points before the debate.
They sent the talking points out about 1117, even earlier than that.
They sent the debate talking to the media.
In other words, they sent the media talking points to explain what will happen in the debate tonight before the debate has happened.
Well, it turns out that if you compare the Obama talking points with an article by Kit Seeley in the New York Times about tonight's debate, you find amazing similarities.
Now, we're not surprised at this, but it's still, it's still, I open my mouth in wonder at it.
I shouldn't.
I know I shouldn't.
I should know by now that the Obama talking points are nothing more than press releases and talking points for New York Times, Washington Post articles.
But this is amazing.
Talking point.
By the way, the talking points, again, sent out by the Obama campaign, some flack at the Obama campaign.
And we're going to juxtapose some of the talking points with what Kit Seeley said in her story, What to Watch For During Final Debate.
The talking point.
This is John McCain's last chance to turn this erase around.
Kit Seeley writing in the New York Times.
Tonight's debate provides Senator McCain with his last best hope of reversing the tide that appears to be running against him.
Talking point.
McCain's erratic response to this economic crisis does not disqualify him from being president.
Or does it?
I ripped up my talking points.
I'm looking at a reproduction.
So McCain's erotic response, erratic response to this economic crisis does or doesn't disqualify him from being president.
Here's what Kit Seeley wrote.
His behavior during the current crisis appeared to have the effect of undermining voter confidence and driving away independence from the talking points.
Just this weekend, McCain vowed to whip Obama's you-know-what at the debate, and he's indicated he'll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.
Kit Seely, New York Times, Mr. McCain has already vowed to whip Mr. Obama's you-know-what tonight.
Talking point.
So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.
Kit Seeley.
The downside of Mr. Ayers or Mr. McCain is that it could reinforce the notion he is more preoccupied with political tactics than addressing the main topic on voters' minds, the economic meltdown and the collapse of the value of their homes.
The Ayers question aside, watch for the degree to which McCain dials back his attacks as he has on the campaign trail.
So the New York Times got the talking points message.
And little New York Times doing a Joe Biden impersonation, Kit Seeley, with near plagiarism of the Obama campaign talking points about the debate tonight.
This is Wes as we go back to the phones.
Wes in Bend, Oregon.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Small Business Dittos from the Left Coast Rush.
Thank you, sir.
The reason I'm calling, I have a small business in Central Oregon, and I work with a lot of other small businesses here, and I'm really surprised to find out, like me, how many of us actually have preemptive plans for cutbacks and layoffs the minute Obama gets elected.
Really?
The minute he gets elected, you're not even going to wait for the implementation of his policies.
Well, we see what's coming down the pike.
He's, you know, what he's announced for his new tax plans, in addition to the crushing burden of what he wants to lay on the employers for his health care program.
We've got to build up some reserves in order to basically soften the blow that's probably going to hit us next year.
Wes, hang on just a second, because part of, I want to ask you about something.
Part of Obama's stated and revised economic plan is to give businesses like yours a $3,000 tax credit for every full-time employee you hire.
Why is that not attractive to you?
There is no way a $3,000 tax credit is going to offset the cost of a $50,000 employee.
It's just insane.
How much does it cost you to pay an employee $50,000?
Well, if their income is $50,000, and to be quite honest, with my people, most of them are making between $35,000 and $40,000.
With the cost of the health care and everything like that, we have to split, we're probably adding another $12,000 to $14,000 per over the course of the year.
All right, so if you pay somebody $40,000 a year, and that's their gross, it's costing you about $50,000 to $54,000 to actually hire them.
Right, because we have to offset the cost of the health care we pay, and of course, then there's the matching for the Social Security and such like that.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, but actually the employee is paying all of that.
They just slough some of it off on you.
But I mean, the cost to you to hire the employee is the matching you have to pay.
So the employee is getting it.
He just never sees it.
Well, the employee is being told that you're a nice guy and you're matching it.
So, okay, so you got a $40,000 employee.
You cost $50,000 to $54,000 to hire the guy.
So Obama's plan to give you a $3,000 tax credit to hire a new full-timer just doesn't work out financially.
It's insane.
I mean, unless you're going to be a part-timer at McDonald's, maybe it makes sense.
But for me, it's just not even close.
Now, here's what Obama wants.
And don't change your ⁇ I'm not running your business.
I'm not trying to tell you how to do this.
I just want you to know even more than you may think you know about Obama.
He knows full well that $3,000 tax credit to hire a new full-timer is something you'll reject.
Obama and the Democrats want to be able to point the finger at U.S. and all of your small business colleagues for being mean-spirited to employees and so forth.
They're not hiring people in these economic times.
Look out.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Well, the Reverend Zach is backtracking, ladies and gentlemen.
In an AP story, Democrat presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama's campaign sharply rejected today a conservative columnist report that the Reverend Zach expects Obama to reduce Israel's clout at the White House.
And the Reverend Zach himself denounced the post-columnist Amir Tahari for selectively imposing his own point of view and distorting mine in the column that appeared yesterday.
We mentioned it to you.
The column said that the Reverend Jacks predicted to a policy forum in France last week that decades of putting Israel's interest first would end and added in an interview that Zionists would lose a great deal of their clout if Obama is elected.
Zionists, of course, is a code word for Jews, not just Israelis.
The Jews would lose a great deal of their clout if Obama is elected.
Now, Obama's running around saying, hey, he does not part of my campaign.
I don't know what he's talking about, but that's not the furthest thing from my mind.
Well, Farrakhan may not be part of your campaign either, but he certainly doesn't like the Zionists.
And he referred to you as the Messiah.
Isn't it amazing that practically everybody that knows Obama and goes out and talks about him, Obama has to denounce some of these people.
He can't get them to shut up.
And we also know that the Reverend Jacks wanted to remove the genitalia of the Messiah not long ago.
Didn't use that terminology.
We're cleaning it up a bit.
People in Rio Linda may not know what I'm talking about with that, but the rest of you do.
And so when I saw that the Reverend Zach made this comment about the Zionists, the Jews, and they will have less influence in Washington once Obama is in there, I'm starting thinking, you know, there's some sabotage going on.
And then we have the story in the New York Times today, Governor Palin met with a group of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's former supporters last night at a special fundraising reception organized for them on behalf of the Republican ticket.
The reception brought in about a half million dollars, was part of an extended evening of fundraising for Ms. Palin and Senator McCain at the Grand Hyatt in New York that officials estimated raised more than $8 million.
By the way, did you see what Sarah Palin did yesterday?
I think it was yesterday.
I saw the picture today, so I'm assuming it was yesterday, sometime recently.
Somewhere on the way to a campaign stop or from a campaign stop, she had to pull into Walmart and buy some diapers.
So she and the Secret Service, they went into Walmart, bought some diapers, and the picture of her is at the checkout stand buying diapers at Walmart.
When did you ever think that you would see pictures of a presidential or vice presidential candidate buying diapers at Walmart?
And of course, this picture, if it gets widely displayed, will have a penetrating impact on a lot of people.
So anyway, the Reverend Jackson out there talking about Obama's going to make sure the Jews have less influence in the Oval Office.
Clinton supporters showing up and giving Sarah Palin McCain half a million dollars last night.
Reverend Jackson, by the way, he's denounced this columnist.
The Reverend Jackson denounced Amir Tahari for selectively imposing his own point of view and distorting mine.
Now, does that sound like a flat-out denial to you by the Reverend Jackson?
It does not.
Now, they had to send out a spokeswoman, Wendy Morigi, said that Jackson does not advise Obama, just like Ayers doesn't advise Obama.
Jeremiah Wright doesn't advise Obama.
Nobody advises Obama.
And Jackson's in no position to interpret or share Obama's views on Israel and foreign policy.
Barack Obama has a fundamental commitment to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.
As president, he will ensure that Israel can defend itself from every threat it faces, stand with Israel in his quest for a secure peace with its neighbors, and use all elements of American power to end Iran's illicit nuclear program.
They have to go out and keep saying this because there must be some doubt out there.
In a separate written statement, the Reverend Zach said that the column was slanted to incite fear and division.
Back to the phones we go.
This is Patty in Oxford, Mississippi.
Hey, this is where the last debate was.
Hi, Patty.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hey, Mega Dittos.
I am so honored, Rush.
Thank you very much.
Great to have you here.
What I called about was earlier, I heard you discussing a couple, I believe it was Kansas City, that had a charge to the Obama campaign that they didn't make.
Yeah.
My best friend had the same thing this month, three times on her credit card.
Your best friend had a charge of $2,300 to the Obama campaign?
No, no, not $2,300, but she had three separate charges to the Obama campaign, and she is a staunch Republican.
What was the total?
Do you recall?
I don't.
She told me one of them was small, like $15.
She said none of them were very big.
But anyway, she called and immediately wanted it removed from her card, which the credit company did, the Obama campaign.
She called them, and they tried to talk her into letting it stay.
And she said, no, I want it, and I want it to be a message.
Wait, wait, wait a second.
How did the Obama campaign find out about this?
Well, she called them.
Oh, she called them?
She called them because she wanted that charge removed immediately.
I thought she called a bank.
She called the credit card center after she called the Obama campaign.
And the Obama campaign tried to talk her into letting the charges stay.
Yes, they did.
Now, wait a minute.
I just got another email about, let me see this.
This is Associated Press about an hour ago.
Two Missourians say that they were surprised to receive credit card statements indicating they had donated to Obama's campaign.
This is an, let's see, Sandy Pagonis of Camdenton and Steve Larman of North Kansas City each found a $2,300 charge in their cards.
So the Larmans are a couple.
We already talked about the Larmans.
So now there's another one, Sandy Pagonis in Kansas City.
We found another one with a charge from the Obama campaign on their credit cards.
They both contacted the credit card companies, which dropped the charges.
Pagonis, Sandy Pagonis says she's contacted the Missouri Attorney General's office and the FBI.
Steve Larman of North Kansas City says he just wants to know if another organization is funneling money to Obama or if somebody is using Obama's name to steal from people.
So I'm glad I heard about this.
And I'm glad you called because this apparently is now far more than just a random couple.
Well, when you consider the Acorn voter fraud thing, I'm not really surprised that there could be more to it than meets the eye.
Oh, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
I mean, with what we already know about Acorn, for example, can you imagine what we don't know?
I don't think I want to know.
Well, you're going to at some point.
This group's going to have to be exposed.
You know, the legitimate question here with all of these reports of fraud and now in Ohio, with the Secretary of State, Jennifer, whatever her name is, we had run-ins with this woman during Operation Chaos.
She sat idly by and let Acorn run free, and the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has essentially said, you better find out who every one of these registered voters is, if they're legitimate.
And you've got to find out if everybody who voted in Ohio in that six-day period back in early October was legitimate.
And she said, well, I don't have time to do this, my friend.
Well, you do your job.
The court has come down and said, you do your job.
Now, when you've got the U.S. Sixth Circuit involved, where's the FBI?
Where is the Justice Department investigating this group?
14 states now, maybe 15.
Pennsylvania is the latest somewhere in Philadelphia that has come up.
Now, let me tell you what, folks, what's profound about this to me, and by the way, Patty, thanks for the call.
What is profound about this to me is that ACORN's been doing what they've been doing for 30 years.
And they are bought and paid for by the Democrat Party.
They are an arm.
They are an activist group of the Democrat Party.
So what happened this year to cause them to get caught?
What happened this year to have 15 states start investigations against them?
This is not an idle question.
For 29 years, and we've heard about ACORN.
John Fund, by the way, at the Wall Street Journal has a great book of the paperback just came out of his book on voter fraud.
Get the name of that book for me: Staling Elections by John Fund.
There's still time for you to get it.
You can get it at Amazon or any of your local bookstore.
John Fund at the Wall Street Journal exposes ACORN from the first page to the back page.
And a lot of people have known about Acorn and their fraud and their attempts at fraud over the years.
But this year they're actually being investigated.
They've been caught in 14 or 15 states.
And since they're a branch office of the Democrat Party, what happened?
What happened?
The Democrats couldn't keep this group under the radar.
This group had to so overstep that no matter who they are and who they're bankrolling and who's bankrolling them, some people in certain states just could no longer look the other way at what they are doing.
Tricia in Trumbull, Connecticut, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, thank you for the opportunity to talk to you, and thank you for the EIB Institute.
And I just shudder as an American to think what would be happening to this country.
I mean, it's scary enough, but without you and talk radio and the internet.
Anyway, I, for several days, have just been periodically.
Can I answer that?
What?
May I answer your observation?
In a way, we played the sound bites of the Toledo plumber.
Do you realize without this new media what you would not know?
I mean, I know you do because you just said so.
The people in this, do you realize what you would not know?
Do you realize what, do you realize Obama would be headed for a landslide?
If Obama were, if the media were doing his job, he'd be 30% in the polls right now.
But do you know what you would not know if it were not for all this new media?
It's frightening.
Staggering.
Staggering.
But Rush, I have just, the more I am informed, I feel as a responsible taxpayer as if what has been done through Barney Frank and Maxine Waters and Chris Dudd and all of these liberal social agenda engineering with this housing mortgage meltdown,
this crisis, it was, I feel like the responsible American taxpayers have been gang raped by these people and that this bailout bill is like an involuntary hysterectomy being performed.
It's not the right solution, and it's just further pain.
And it's, I mean, as a woman, you can imagine what I would, what I'm saying, I feel like.
But you can imagine and you can translate it as a male, and I won't get vivid with that.
But then I feel like if a lot of people- Please, please do.
Got to be fair here.
I mean, you've talked about being gang-raped and having forced hysterectomy.
When the men have to share your painter, what are you talking about?
Well, you know, you refer to testicles and things like that, so you can imagine.
And I don't have to get vivid on that.
You don't have to get vivid.
You feel like the men probably think they're getting neutered.
Well, I'm sure.
I'm sure, exactly.
And then if Obama is elected, I'm going to take this.
By the way, we men think we're getting screwed, too.
You know, not just you.
And I'll tell you, there's a one-word solution for this.
It's called rent.
And had that one-word solution be allowed to stand and apply, we wouldn't have this mess.
This is, you're exactly what I understand how livid you are.
I'm as livid as you are.
This mess, this subprime mess, which is the foundation of all the other aspects of this, happened precisely because of liberal Democrats, socialist engineering designed to get people into houses they couldn't pay for, all for the express purpose of voting for Democrats and whacking capitalism.
Exactly.
And, you know, another level of this, it may seem strange, but this whole acorn thing, this is like injecting, this is like infecting with an STD in the process of that gang rape.
But anyway, and then if Obama is elected, it will be like taking all the responsible people that have done what they're supposed to and saying, okay, we're taking you into the hospital and we're taking one of your kidneys or we're taking part of your liver because somebody else who has not been responsible or somebody who is unfortunate needs it and you don't have any choice in the matter, but that's what we're going to do.
Well, you know, that's an interesting thought that you have.
I must take a break at this time.
Tricia, I'm glad you called, but don't go away because I'm going to expand on a couple things that you said, right?
And we come back.
Do not go away, folks.
Okay, we just finished a conversation with Tricia in Trumbull, Connecticut, and she felt gang raped by the Obama tax plan and the bailout.
She feels like she had to have a forced hysterectomy.
And she said, look, Obama's plan is no different than saying you've got to go to the hospital and donate a kidney to somebody who's been irresponsible in their life and needs a kidney or somebody needs to take part of your liver or what have you.
And it got me to thinking, isn't it interesting, ladies and gentlemen, that Obama wants to take from the rich to give to the poor when it comes to money?
When it comes to human life, Obama is willing to allow babies to be killed in order to get their mother's votes.
Obama says that he is for helping those less fortunate in a monetary sense, but he is not for helping those who are truly powerless.
Those babies intended to be aborted who survive, that's the essence of helpless.
It's also the essence of innocence.
Their lives can be exchanged for votes for Obama.
Obama says, well, the reason I support the infanticide bill, although he doesn't use the word, the reason he doesn't, because the mother's intention was to have the abortion.
I don't want to saddle her.
Just like he said, I wouldn't want my kids to be saddled with a mistake.
So to get votes from troubled pregnant women, Obama allows them to try to kill their babies, supporting partial birth abortion and infanticides, the ultimate act of bullying and cruelty to those less fortunate.
There's a constitutional lawyer by the name of Robert George.
He's a professor at Princeton, very eloquent when it comes to pro-life.
He's black, by the way, I think.
Not that it matters, but I think I've seen him.
Robert George, I think he was a I know he used to be the New York Post.
I'm not going to confuse him with somebody, but he is great.
And he wrote, what kind of, it's a piece called Obama's Abortion Extremism.
What kind of America do we want our beloved nation to be?
Barack Obama's America is one in which being human just isn't enough to warrant care and protection.
It is an America where the unborn may legitimately be killed without legal restriction, even by the grisly practice of partial birth abortion.
It's an America where a baby who survives an abortion is not even entitled to comfort care as she dies on a stainless steel table or in a soiled linen bin.
It's a nation in which some members of the human family are regarded as inferior and others superior in fundamental dignity and rights.
In Obama's America, public policy would make a mockery of the great constitutional principle of the equal protection of the law.
And perhaps the most telling comment made by any candidate in either party this year, Obama, when asked by Rick Warren when a baby gets human rights, said that question's above my pay grade.
When does a baby get human rights?
It's above his pay grade.
By the way, folks, all of this fundraising stuff, Acorn and all that, it's not just about that.
There's a lot more to worry about with an Obama presidency.
Sit tight.
We'll be right back.
A woman in Texas answers the phone.
It's an Obama volunteer asking if she will support Obama.
She says no.
