Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Folks, this is too much fun.
The drive-by is still all worked up over my uh claim.
Uh my confident claim that Obama received his nomination from Colin Powell on the basis of skin color.
His endorsement, right, is endorsement on the basis of skin color.
And what they're now saying is that I call Powell a racist in doing so.
I didn't never, you know, this is the drive-by's in their attempt to manufacture this definition of racism.
They're now claiming that I'm saying Colin Powell is a racist.
And I never said any such thing.
I simply said that the determining factor in his endorsement of Obama has to be Obama's race.
But that doesn't mean I'm saying Colin Powell's a racist.
These guys are just hilarious to watch because race is their buzzword.
Race.
All these drive-by's are from the they've got their roots back to the 60s civil rights movement.
America's unfair, America's unjust.
This election's all about correcting some of that.
Uh we'll get to that in due course as the program unfolds.
There are more important things, however, ladies and gentlemen.
Greetings, great to have you.
El Rushbow, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all everything, Maha Rushy here on the EIB network.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at me.
Listen to me.
This is a close election.
It is not the land slide that you are being force-fed daily in the drive-by media.
This is a close election.
Here is the latest battleground poll taken uh October 14th through yesterday.
Margin of error, 3.1, 1,000 likely voters, Obama is up one, 48 to 47 in the battleground poll.
Uh other polls have this narrowing somewhat, but other polls have it just off the charts.
CBS New York Times, Obama up by 13.
And when you look, when you look at some of the internals in the New York Times CBS poll, for example, who would raise your taxes is a question.
And by the way, this is 669.
I think 669 likely voters, the weighting of Democrat to Republican here is almost two to one, with a lot of independence in this.
But now you tell me where they went and found people that think what I'm going to tell you.
They had to take a poll of their newsroom to come up with these numbers.
Who would raise your taxes?
Obama 51%.
McCain 53%.
43% say Obama would not.
37% say that oh that uh that the McCain would not.
Now, I don't know who they are talking to.
But if there are 53% of likely voters that think that McCain is more likely to raise people's taxes than Obama after all of this, I don't know who they've found.
I don't know who they're talking to.
And if this is the case, they went out and they found the most uninformed, disconnected American citizens who claim to be likely voters that they could have found.
Why has your view of Obama gotten better?
Try this question.
CBS New York Times poll among those saying the view has gotten better is debate performance 30%.
I just like him.
16%.
Seems calm and steady.
12%.
The way he handles McCain's attacks, 7%.
I can trust him, 5%.
I can relate, or he can relate to the common person 4% in health care, 4%.
So those saying that their view of Obama has improved say it's because of those reasons.
Now why has your view of McCain gotten worse?
Now get the answers to this.
Well, I they they asked it of both.
They asked why have your uh view of McCain gotten better too.
But I'm I'm just giving you the because it fits the template of news coverage.
Why has your view of McCain gotten worse?
His attacks on Obama.
32%.
Now cut me some slack.
Give me some break.
This is I warned you people about this.
This is exactly how they play this game.
We've got all these undecided.
We have all these independents, and they're just waiting around to haven't made up their mind yet.
And the thing that's going to turn them off the most is if McCain attacks Obama, because why?
Well, that's partisan.
And so what do they do?
They run off to the most partisan political party in American history, the Democrat Party, 32%, say their view of McCain's gotten worse Because of his attacks on Obama.
Next up, 14%.
What do you think the second reason?
Second highest reason that voters' views of McCain has gotten worse.
Sarah Palin, 14% because he picked Sarah P. Now, give me.
Give me a break.
This is not, this is this is you can't fool me, folks, on this.
This is not how voters think.
Debate performance, 12% uh have have gotten their uh their opinion of McCain is worsened because of his uh debate performance.
And how about this?
Why is your view of McCain gotten worse?
He seems erratic and unstable, right out of the Obama talking points, right out of an Obama ad, eleven percent, and uh just don't like him seven percent.
Now, what's happening here, folks, is a coordinated effort, the Democrat Party and the drive-by media to get you dispirited and keep you there, to keep you depressed, to keep you thinking all is lost, that there is no hope whatsoever for McCain, that it is over.
They leak all these things about the McCain camp saying, yeah, we're gonna give up in Colorado, and yeah, we're gonna give up in Michigan.
And our route to victory is getting very, very narrow.
They're leaking things that suggest the McCain internals are horrible and rotten, and everybody's in the McCain campaign is is dispirited and depressed.
It is an it is a concerted effort, the likes of which I haven't seen even during the Clinton years.
CNN gets in on the action, a new national poll suggests that only 25% of Americans think things are going well in the country today, while the rest of those questioned are angry, scared, and stressed out.
75% of those surveyed in a CNN opinion research poll released today said things are going badly.
Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.
It's scary.
How many Americans admit they are scared?
Americans tend to downplay the amount of fear they have when facing tough times.
The fact that more than six in ten say they're scared shows how bad things are getting.
Cut me some slack here, Mr. Keating Holland.
Americans have been more than willing to tell everybody how depressed we are.
We have been more than willing to tell people how unhappy and miserable we are.
And you people in the drive-by media have been documenting this for us in all of your polls.
And probably some of you are gonna believe this.
But I'll tell you that let's let's examine one of the reasons why people might be scared and mad and depressed is because they're being inundated daily with a bunch of negative drivel about the election being over.
McCain having no chance, Obama has it wrapped up, doesn't matter what anybody does.
That's the express purpose of this whole campaign is to keep you depressed, to keep you angry and worried over the state of the country.
And by the way, to make you feel helpless.
You can't do anything about it because you're not running for office.
All you can do is try to get some McCain Palin yard signs, but you can't even find those because Obama people are snatching them up and taking them to the city dump.
You have to go to a trash dumpster to find the McCain Palin signs in your town.
Now, let's say among those who are angry, worried, depressed, and suicidal over the state of the country.
What kind of intelligence are we talking about here when you try to understand how you take that emotion that people have, the fright, the depression, the fear, and then vote for Obama.
Well, it boils down to that if these people are being honest, all they want is change, change, change.
By the way, a Fox News Rasmussen report uh polling this week slightly improved situation for McCain compared to a week ago, though the underlying dynamic of the election still favors Obama, McCain gains a slight lead in uh Florida and Ohio.
A slight lead, yet it's still as the underlying dynamic of the election favoring Obama.
It's a close race.
Ladies and gentlemen, battleground poll out today, one point, Obama 4847.
Battleground is the bipartisan poll, as you know, with Selinda Lake doing the Democrat work and uh Ed Goaz doing the Republican work.
It tends to be a uh a poll that even uh even uh shifts a little bit to the left.
So as as hard as it may be, we've got what, 15 days or 14 now?
Fourteen days until the election, as hard as it may be, folks, you're gonna have to either turn off the TV or just watch it and resist it.
Because it isn't, it's gonna get worse these next two weeks.
They've taken Biden off the campaign trail.
They're not releasing all of his medical records either, by the way.
They're not releasing his brain scans, and he's had a couple of uh a couple of aneurysms.
Biden's off the campaign trail.
And of course, he has nothing to do with the stupid thing he said.
Well, I don't know how stupid it was, it's probably accurate.
Uh that uh the little Barry is gonna be tested by some mean terrorists uh when when the uh when he's elected president.
One of the things that might happen, you'd have Russians sending bombers down to Venezuela.
What if what if uh Castro's actually dead, wouldn't put it past that to be true.
If he's not dead, he will soon assume room temperature.
What if Hugo Chavez tries to capture Cuba?
Very likely scenario, by the way.
Uh Chavez has his eyes on Cuba.
The last thing he wants is for the United States to get in there and the embargo and normalize relationships with Cuba.
Any number of things could uh possibly happen.
Yesterday, the Biden comments laid buried.
Today, they're all over the place.
And the uh the brilliant Madame Albright is now out uh defending Biden and saying that uh he's he's right.
We have all of these sound bites, but when we come back from the break here, we're gonna talk taxes and the economy, Obama, Barney Frank.
I mean, if you're worried, if you're worried about the future, if you're worried about your economic future, you have got to pay attention to what's gonna happen to your economics if Obama happens to win this thing.
We'll be right back and get started with all the rest of it after this.
One more poll that I want to share with you here, folks.
It is from Military Times.
Military Times poll indicates landslide support for John McCain.
McCain captures sixty-eight percent of the military vote to Barack Obama's twenty-three percent.
Uh, this is a poll by the Military Times newspaper group suggests there's an overwhelming support for McCain among U.S. troops in every branch of the armed forces by nearly three to one margin.
Now, why do you suspect this is?
Here we have overwhelming military support for McCain.
My guess is they know what Biden said is true.
The people in the U.S. military folks did not sign up to be tested because of an untested weak rookie like Barack Obama.
Speaking of whom Obama was just what, 10, 15 miles south of us here this morning.
He was down in a Lake Worth, uh, Florida, and this is among the things he said.
Yesterday I heard Senator McCain say, I'm more concerned with who gets your piece of the pie than with growing the pie.
But make no mistake about it.
After eight years of Bush McCain economics, the pie is shrinking.
It's not growing.
That means lower wages and declining incomes, plummeting home values, rising unemployment.
So we've seen what happens with their policies.
We've had an eight-year experiment.
We see where it leads.
This economic crisis is the final verdict on that failed leadership.
It is time to try something new.
All right.
Now none of that's true.
But what is the something new?
We've had eight years of tax cuts.
We have had eight years of profound economic growth.
It wasn't until Democrat-inspired crises in the home mortgage industry surfaced that the economy took its sharp turn.
Don't buy into all this, folks.
The last six years, last seven years have been an economically robust time in this country when you consider what we had to had to deal with.
We had to deal with a recession that Bush inherited coming out of the uh out of the Clinton years, and then 9-11 happened.
We had to rebuild the economy after that.
We had tax cuts, people's incomes grew, the uh economy expanded, the p the pie did grow, health care spending went up, government spending went everything was everything was going up, and then all of a sudden this Fannie Mae Freddie Mac stuff hit.
And that's when everybody thinks this is the challenge McCain has.
Because there's no there's no doubt that to the extent that there are people unhappy out there, it's because of the economy.
And the natural tendency is to blame the party that holds the White House, in this case Bush, i.e., Republicans.
But this economy is directly traceable to Democrats from Bill Clinton.
Well, actually, Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton on to Barney Frank to Chris Dodd, the whole mess of them.
And McCain is going to have to tie them, but he I just I just don't see him doing it.
He still rips on these Wall Street greedsters.
And he does reference government corruption.
Well, the government corruption is what led to the Wall Street greedsters doing what they were doing and the bankers doing what they were doing.
It was Democrat policy that forced these loans to people who had no business paying them back.
And now the Democrats are out whining and moaning about tens of thousands of people will soon be homeless because of this.
And we've got to do something about it.
Well, what's the thing we have to do?
We have to raise all of our taxes to bail out these people who are going to be foreclosed on.
We're working on the audio of this right now.
But the uh the the challenge McCain has here is to peg this economy to Democrats and their policies, because that's the culprit.
They are the culprit.
Obama says McCain says I'm more concerned with who gets your piece of the pie than growing the pie.
He doesn't deny that, by the way, in this statement.
Make no mistake about it, after eight years of Bush-MCain economics, the pie is shrinking.
It's not growing.
Only in the last quarter can you say that the economy has not grown.
The economy has grown.
GDP has grown throughout the past seven years.
Only in the past quarter or so has it slowed down to the point.
We're not even in a recession.
Obama can't even be upfront about this.
Lower wages, declining incomes?
Wait till you see what his tax increases will cause in both those categories, plummeting home values.
Wonder why that happened.
That's traceable straight back to the Democrat Party.
I know a lot of you people think I'm just being partisan.
I'm not being factual with you here.
All of this that's happening in the home market is brought about by all these subprime loans that were given to people who had no business being being given loans because they never had the opportunity to pay them back.
It was what Barney Frank called affordable housing.
What we've had is not an eight-year experiment.
What he's talking about is capitalism doesn't work.
Capitalism doesn't work.
We got to find something new.
And what is that something new?
Some people call it socialism.
I don't know if that resonates with a lot of people.
Pretty much what Obama's going to do is punish every achiever he can find.
I don't care how much income you earn, you're going to be punished for earning it.
Here, Barney Frank, closing bell, CNBC yesterday.
Maria Barcheromo, do you want to um you want to encourage Obama to pull in his spending plan a little bit?
Well, I think at this point, there needs to be a focus on a uh an immediate increase in spending.
And I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second uh second seat.
I do think this is a time for a very important kind of dose of Keynesianism.
Yes, I believe later on there should be tax increases.
Speaking personally, I think there are very rich people out there whom we can tax at a at a point down the road and recover some of this money.
Recover some of this money by taxing some rich people down the road.
A lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road to recover some of this money.
He's talking about the deficit spending.
He wants new spending.
He wants the government spending like drunken well, no one insults sailors.
And to fix the deficit spending that will occur, we'll we'll raise taxes on the very rich.
And a point down the road and recover some of this money.
This is now I know a lot of people have a resentment for the rich rich.
A lot of people just, it's it's it's unfair and so forth, but you have got to change your attitude about this.
Everybody, the old American dream was becoming rich.
The old American dream is becoming the best you can, experiencing the greatest amount of prosperity possible.
And the uh the Democrats have succeeded in tarnishing these people and making them evil and making them the enemy of uh of the United States.
And this is what Obama means when he talks about trying something new.
The Maria Barterromo then said, Do you think we'll actually see this market return to focusing on fundamentals earnings news like the quarterly numbers that we're talking about right now in the near future, Or do you think that we're still very focused on the stimulus plans and alleviating this troubled banking system?
I obviously hope we will get back to the fundamentals.
I think it's clear that the fundamentals are better than the psychology.
What?
What did he what did he just say?
He just said the fundamentals of the economy are better than the psychology.
Thank you, Congressman Frank, for opening up and being honest.
Now, when John McCain said this, the Obama campaign went out and reamed him a new one.
Said the fundamentals of our economy are strong.
That just shows how out of touch an old man is, they said.
Now here's Barney Frank admitting fundamentals are better than psychology, meaning the economy is in far better shape than what you people have been led to believe and what you have soaked up.
Barney Frank even said so.
Quick timeout.
There's much more of this.
Straight ahead.
See where Mark Foley is endorsing Obama.
Mark Foley was overheard.
Recently, some people from Variety Magazine got hold of a couple of people that were sitting there that I guess the people called variety.
They talked to Foley.
Foley likes Obama.
Mark Foley voting for and they were all talking about, whoa, it's Foley, he looks so great.
He looks so good out here.
Now, even they love Mark Foley now.
Out on the Hollywood left because he's endorsing and supporting.
Well, I don't know if he's officially endorsed, but he said to these guys that he's going to uh support Obama.
And here's Obama once again talking about the pie.
Um, mentioning that uh McCain's accused him of uh not wanting to grow the pie.
He said this in Lake Worth, Florida.
Don't forget, Michelle Obama.
They don't want the whole pie, she told a woman.
There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit, but that's becoming even more out of reach.
The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, somebody's gonna have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.
Barney Frank, once again, yesterday on CNBC.
Well, I think at this point there needs to be a focus on a uh an immediate increase in spending, and I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second uh second seat.
I do think this is a time for a very important kind of dose of Keynesianism.
Yes, I believe later on there should be tax increases.
Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a at a point down the road and recover some of this money.
This is just, folks, I I you how can anybody who hears this not be affected by it?
There's plenty, first place, we've already look at the deficit spending these bailouts have already added.
Now he wants to spend even more cementing the Democrats' hold on the electorate, and to make up for the difference, there's plenty of rich people out there we can tax down the road and recover some of this money that we're going to spend.
Barta Romo then said, You agree taxes should go up then for the top earners, even in this slow environment?
No, not right away.
I I'm willing to wait again.
Did you ask him to push the plan back then?
Because he wants to raise tax as soon as he gets in office, correct?
Well, I do not think he has said recently that he can do it as soon as he gets into office.
Um I do think that we can incur a short-term deficit increase and not raise those until later in the year.
Though one of the premises of the Obama campaign is how out of control the deficit is, and how irresponsible the Bush administration has been with spending.
And here's Barney Frank who wants to ladle it up, load on even more spending and then raise taxes on the rich down the road.
Plenty of people, plenty of rich people out there.
We raise taxes on them.
We go, we can uh we can get that money back.
But we don't want to do it next year.
We want to we want to give the deficit spending a time to work.
Now here, the point about this is he's admitting that it's not a good idea to raise taxes in a slow economy.
That's what he's saying.
So if it's not a good idea to raise taxes in a slow economy, why is it a good idea to raise taxes anytime?
If raising taxes in a slow economy is going to retard economic recovery, wouldn't raising taxes in a good economy slow it down?
Especially the kind Obama's talk.
Obama's talking about marginal rates on achievers, not just the rich.
You've got to get this word rich out of your mind.
He's not talking about the rich.
He's talking about achievers.
And by the way, he is going to cut into your social security benefits.
You know, the Democrats are out talking about how McCain's going to cut Medicare and so forth.
Wait till you hear.
We're going to go to great detail on this as the program unfolds.
Some people have taken in-depth looks at Obama's tax plan.
And you know, he's been out there saying 95% of the American people are going to get a tax cut.
We've now found out how.
He's going to give money away.
He is going to call stimulus checks, tax cuts, even for people who do not pay taxes.
And people who said, well, how are you going to give a tax cut to people who don't pay income taxes?
Well, everybody pays payroll taxes.
And we're going to give them a payroll tax credit.
Well, now you know what the payroll tax is.
That's what funds Social Security.
May I have the attention of all of you seasoned citizens?
You damn well know I've talked to enough of you.
You don't even want your own kids getting a tax cut because you're afraid it'll incur negative results on your monthly Social Security checks.
Never forget that woman that called from uh somewhere off the moss Turnpike, who's all upset that somebody was going to cut taxes because it wouldn't it would mean less social security to her.
So listen to this.
If if Obama is going to make sure that people who don't pay income taxes get a tax cut by giving them a payroll tax credit, that means that less money will be pouring into the Social Security Trust Fund, i.e.
the lockbox.
And that is going to have a negative impact on Social Security benefits.
That's how he's going to do it.
Al Gore ought to be coming out of the woodwork saying, I can't support Obama.
He's messing with my lockbox.
That's exactly what Obama's going to do.
That's how this is going to happen.
Now on CNN, I'm sorry, CNBC this morning, a street uh show called Squawk on the Street, the co-host Mark Keynes was interviewing Eugene Ludwig, the former controller of the currency, and now a Wall Street executive and Obama supporter.
And they are discussing how many homeless will be produced by the housing crisis.
What homeowners are being thrown out of their homes?
10,000 a day, I've been told.
I mean, we're disclosure rate is huge.
Here's where you run into a political problem, in my opinion.
Because an awful lot of people, I mean, they're mad enough that we're bailing out, they they perceive we're bailing out Wall Street.
Now you wanted to bail out their neighbor who lied, probably lied on his mortgage application and couldn't afford the house he bought.
Mark, I realize that this is not necessarily popular politically, but in fact, a lot of these people were victimized.
Uh they were uh sold products by uh unregulated uh institutions, mortgage brokers.
Uh people thought they were getting one thing got another, and we really have to show compassion here.
We have thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens that are gonna be on the street.
That's not acceptable in America.
This is an Obama supporter by the name of Eugene Ludwig, who once again is lying through his teeth.
They were sold a bill of goods.
They were sold products by unregulated institutions, mortgage brokers, people thought they were getting one thing and they got another.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There were not greedy predatory lenders.
I'm sure there were some, but this whole thing that we're talking about here was brought about by the fisted big hand of government demanding these loans be made to people who couldn't qualify for them.
And now you hear an Obama supporter talking.
Here we got tens of thousands.
What does he say?
10,000.
10,000 a day are being thrown out of their houses, he's told.
Where are these 10,000 a day on the street?
Have you seen them?
10,000 a day for how many days?
Ten days, twenty days, thirty days.
How many we got 300,000 people out there on the street?
Now, where are all these homeless people?
Where are they?
Mr. Ludwig.
So we're back to making all this up.
Now we've got a crisis people being thrown out of their homes because of greedy Wall Street people because of corrupt.
This is all traceable to the Democrats in Washington.
Folks, if we if we could get rid of the Democrats who are responsible for this problem, the Republicans would win this election in a landslide.
And so now Mark Haynes gets it exactly right.
Now we're gonna start bailing out these people who were the victims of all of these horrible products they were lied to because we have to show compassion.
So we're not we're not only going to bail out the banks and bail out the Wall Street firms, whoever we're bailing out, now we're going to bail out all the people are being foreclosed on.
And guess who's going to pay for that?
You are.
Do you realize how little money we're all going to have left after Obama gets through taking from the achievers of this country what he needs?
This is stunning stuff.
A brief timeout will come back.
Joe Biden, now on the front pages, and the lead item on all the drive-by network programs over his promise yesterday that Obama will be tested in his first six months because world terrorist dictator leaders think he's weak.
We'll be back.
The gasoline price now officially below three dollars a gallon, the national average below three dollars a gallon.
Some parts of the country it's uh two and a half dollars, some places in the in the Midwest.
You remember when Obama said he was happy with gas prices at four bucks a gallon?
Remember, they got up to four bucks, and Obama said he was happy with that.
He just didn't like how fast the price rose, but he was happy with the uh with the price at four bucks.
Now, one would have to assume that Obama's unhappy today with gas prices now tracking down toward 250, $2.25 a gallon.
What will Obama do to get gas prices back up to uh to where he likes them?
He wants expensive gas just like he wants higher taxes.
Joe Biden.
Uh brain scans not released as part of the health records.
He had a couple of aneurysms.
Brain obviously scrambled.
Remember his speech?
Except in speech to the Democrat National Convention, he kept saying that is uh his father.
Hey, champ, hand to get up, get up, champ.
Get up, get up off the floor.
When they knock it out, get up.
And his mother would say, hey, it's not just get up, you go back out there and you bloody their nose when they knock you down.
Problem is it's Biden knocking himself down and bloodying his own nose.
He goes out there and he says these things.
He says, Why do I keep saying stupid things like the United States will be attacked within six months of Barack's election?
Why did I have to guarantee it?
You know when I think about it, the only person ever knocks me down is me.
I keep getting up, I keep going out, I keep getting bloodied up in my own nose.
I'm hitting myself in the face.
He has taken a day off the campaign trail.
He has not had a press conference in over a month.
Sarah Palin is all over the place talking with media.
Biden is not.
Let's review Sunday in Seattle at a fundraiser.
The whole world's waiting, folks.
The whole world is waiting.
I know almost every one of these major leaders in the world by their first name, not because I'm important, because they were young parliamentarians when I was coming up, and we've been hanging around a long time.
Tell you what, I mark my words.
Within the next first six months of this administration, if we win, we're gonna face a major international challenge.
Because they're gonna want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy.
They're gonna want to test him.
And they're gonna find out this guy's got stealing his spine.
Well, he went uh he went further than that, of course, uh in his in his comments.
He said that you're not gonna like what we do.
You're not gonna appreciate our response.
Please hang with us, he said.
Our poll numbers are probably gonna be low after this happens.
So please hang in there with us.
Because it's gonna be bad, and it may not look like we're doing the right thing.
He went on and on and on and on, and what he was basically saying was that if McCain's elected, there will be no test.
Yeah, but he knows what McCain is gonna be.
All these foreign leaders know he's not gonna take any guff, but they're gonna test little little Barack, because Barack's out there say the big question in all this, though, the big question is, how can this be?
How can all of these people who have evil designs on the United States not love us after Obama's elected?
Because after all, that's One of the primary reasons we should elect the Messiah, is it not?
We need to rebuild our image around the world.
Our image around the world's in horrible shape.
And it's in horrible shape because of Bush.
Bush has made the world hate us.
But Obama, simply by being elected, is going to make the world love us again.
So how in the world can this be?
How can, after the election of the Messiah, the world loving us again?
Can dictators and thugs and tyrants out there want to launch attacks against us or against our allies?
How can this be?
It's just like this silly notion that people have that Democrats is the party that cares about people.
Democrats, the party of compassion.
The Republicans are the rich guys that couldn't care less who they stomp on.
And that's what a lot of people believe.
And that has that's taken root over fifty years.
And Republicans, incompetent fools that they are, have no clue how to rebut it.
I, of course, do, by simply asking these people, okay, all this compassion of Democrats have for you.
Why are you still mad?
Why are you still enraged?
Why are you still unhappy?
Why are you still poor?
Why do you feel you got no chance?
This party out there cares so much about you.
Like they really care about black people.
They really, really care about racism, discrimination, and all that.
Why are black people still the low end of the economic scale?
Why are their families still kind of busted apart?
Why are they so mad?
Why have they not progressed in all these years where the Democrats have been caring for them?
And Jesse Jackson now Sharply.
Where are all of the beneficiaries of Democrat compassion that can be trotted out, say, yeah, my life has been better because I've been voting Democrat.
My life is better because Democrats have taken care of me.
My life is better because the Democrats can't.
You know what, you know what the Democrat version of compassion is?
Is making all of you who think yourself average middle income or poor, uh, what they want to do is make you uh experience a little shadow in Freud.
They're not gonna do anything for you.
They haven't.
They can't.
We all have to do things for ourselves, things that are meaningful.
No political party or politician can make your life meaningful.
You have to do it yourself.
What they're gonna do, though, is they're gonna go out and tell you that they're gonna punish these Republicans.
They're gonna punish these mean rich guys who don't care about you and have been stealing your money.
You're not gonna end up with any more money, you're not gonna end up with an improved economic circumstances, but you're supposed to be happy that somebody's targeting these rich people that have been ruining your life.
When in fact, the ruination of your life, if you want to call it that, uh, lies defeat of the Democrat Party have been making all these grandiose promises.
That you're gonna have free this and that and everything else.
How about the Democrat Party compassion idea to get you into a house?
A house that you couldn't afford, a couch you couldn't pay for, a house you couldn't qualify for a loan that got you in it.
Now what?
You're being kicked out?
Oh, well, you're being kicked out, but maybe not.
Maybe the Democrats will find a way to keep you in there by taxing these rich people who got you kicked out of the home and put you in a home in the first place by tricking you.
It's one of the most frustrating and uh silliest notions that the Democrats are the party of compassion.
And it works because compassion has been defined not by how many people no longer need assistance.
Democrats define compassion by how many people get it.
A meager subsistence, by the way.
We Republicans, conservatives, we define compassion by counting the number of people who no longer need any kind of government assistance.
That's real compassion.
Real compassion is helping people to help themselves, to realize their dreams, their opportunities, and their ambitions, to be free of the shackles of dependency.
The Democrats count compassion and define it by how many people they have shackled, how many people that need assistance?
So Biden said what he said.
Madam Albright's situation room yesterday, John Roberts says, Madam Aubrey, what do you think of Biden said in terms of this is uh Obama becomes president could be tested within the first six months?
Frankly, and in my book, I talk about the fact that there are a lot of big issues out there, but that also something unexpected, you always have to be prepared for that.
It's a statement of fact, she said.
We didn't have the beginning of that.
It's a statement of fact, frankly.
And in my book, I talk about the fact that there are a lot of big issues out there.
But they also something unexpected, you always have to be prepared for that.
So they're circling the wagons trying to protect old Joe here from putting his big foot in his mouth.
I talk about the fact there are a lot of big issues.
Statement of fact.
Well, okay, if it's statement of fact, let's take a look at who's passed and failed these tests.
Clinton failed a number of tests, Al-Qaeda attacking America.
George Bush passed the test on 9-11.
We haven't been hit since.
And Biden is worried.
By the way, I think what Biden means is he's telling us that Obama's not going to do anything.
If there is if there's one of these incidents, he's just going to talk.
He's not going to do anything, and people aren't going to like it at first, but you're going to realize we're right after a little while goes by.
Sarah Palin at a rally in Nevada, making a reference to the international crisis Obama may face.
She said his running mate, Joe Biden, may speak again in public, and that would be an international crisis in and of itself.
You go, girl.
