Time Text
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution coming to you today, as always from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It is a thrill, it's a delight, and I am jazzed to be with you today.
And looking forward to all these many more years ahead.
800 28282 is the number.
If you'd like to be on the program, the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Let's look at some headlines.
Oh, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, speaking of a headline, and this is exactly what I was talking about in the previous hour, and I have been mentioning this for countless many years from behind this, a golden EIB microphone.
ABC News, controversial amendment eight in California passed.
Controversial amendment.
Amendment eight bans gay marriage in California, and it passed in California.
But you see, we are controversial.
Our views are controversial.
Even when a majority of Californians support conservative views, we and our views are controversial.
You see how this works.
Nothing controversial about it.
It was sensible.
It's so sensible, even a majority of Californians voted to ban gay marriage.
But yet to ABC News, controversial amendment eight passed.
We are controversial and the um the recalcitrant ones on our side do not like being called controversial.
And they do not like the labels that the left and the media attaches to conservatism and so well, we must unify and we must be conciliatory, and we must be congratulatory, and we must show them that we are not mean people and that we are not controversial, and that we're lovable and likable people and so forth.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why we are where we are today.
Do you think the left gives a squirrel's tail where what we think of them?
They care about winning.
They care about implementing after they win.
I can't I'm still laughing myself silly today at all of our people who believe that the most liberal extreme presidential candidate in history has won the election, he's gonna govern from the center.
Even our old buddy Chris Wallace last night on Fox was talking about what Obama will do.
He said he's sure that Obama and his very smart team uh learned from Bill Clinton's overreaching.
And you know what the overreaching of Clinton is said to be?
Well, the first thing he did that was wrong was uh gays in the military.
Don't ask, don't tell it.
There was something else, and that just shocked people, because they didn't think Clinton was one of his big libs, and so he lost the House in 1994 to the Republicans and so forth and so on.
And Obama's not going to make those mistakes.
Obama's first appointment is Rom Emanuel, who the word center, you can't find it in his dictionary.
Why do why do so many people on our side delude themselves?
I mean, even the left understands what's about to happen here.
They're out there saying, well, we don't really know that much about Obama.
We um we uh written only two books here, both autobiographical.
Uh you know, and and Obama himself said, I believe, uh, that there are no more moderate Democrats.
So, you know, I I just I I look at all this and and I I just why why would anybody in their right mind tell our audience what Barack Obama would do.
When in the face of what Obama's gonna do, it's it's been uncovered who he is, what he wants to do, what he said he wants to do.
We certainly know Reed and Pelosi and Varney Frank and that crowd, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, we know what they want to do.
There's nothing centrist or moderate about them.
Some some headlines here, ladies and gentlemen.
This is from the French news agency.
Despite Obama win, Wall Street turns to hard days ahead.
Wall Street down 275 Today.
Asia was down.
This doesn't compute.
This makes no sense to me that it should be just the exact opposite, shouldn't it?
The markets should be reveling in happiness today.
But for some reason they're not largely anticipated and already celebrated Barack Obama's presidential election.
Seem to um seem set to get a sober reception Wednesday on Wall Street, which turned toward new difficulties to come.
What difficulties?
He's not going to fix this.
Another headline, this is from Reuters.
Planned layoffs jumped to near five year high.
Planned layoffs at U.S. firms.
Don't these people know that Obama's going to give them a big tax break for every or credit for every full-time employee that they hire?
I remember it from the campaign.
That's right, folks.
He's going to give every business a $3,000 tax credit for every $75,000 or whatever it is full-time employee they hire.
Who could reduce that deal?
Who could turn that down?
The fact that nearly three out of four industry categories are cutting more jobs is proof of how widely the impact of this economic downturn is spread, said John Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger Graham Christmas.
The report comes as the government's expected to report 200,000 jobs were lost in October, bringing the total this year to nearly one million.
How in the world can that happen, folks?
Well, I mean, we are on the cusp of change.
We're on the cusp of a new America, a fundamentally new America.
All the rotgut of the past is to be swept away.
And yet, three out of four industry categories are cutting more jobs.
Planned layoffs jumped to near five-year high.
The Dow Jones industrial average down 275.
Wait, what's this?
Major League Baseball agents ponder beating potential tax increase.
You baseball players, I've been meaning to say this for the longest time.
You players and you agents of players, look at how much money you people get paid for doing a game.
And you agents, by the way, you're just a bunch of siphon sponges.
You don't do diddly squat for your 10% or whatever it is.
Players will want to go out and play.
I know the players probably don't want to represent themselves, but these guys could get pretty much what they wanted if the well, I'm a little bit facetious here, but point is you people have a lot of money.
The players?
The agents.
Looking ahead to the possibility of an Obama administration, some baseball agents already are thinking about trying to beat a possible tax increase for their well-paid clients.
Where's the patriotism in professional sports?
Democratic presidential candidate Obama has promised to increase the top federal income tax rate from 35 to 39.6% to where it was under the Clinton administration.
If signing bonuses are paid before January 1st, they likely would be taxed at the current rate, would not be subject to any tax increase.
Now that rate is not going to happen.
These current income tax rates expire in 2010.
The Bush tax rates expire in 2010.
Now let me present to you a possibility.
2009 is right around the corner.
When 2010 comes along and those tax cuts expire, and Obama hasn't had to do anything to raise taxes.
People are still going to have much less disposable income.
Is it make sense for Obama to try to get an additional tax increase in 2010 after the Bush cuts expire?
Would it be harder to do, in other words?
Or would it make more sense for Obama to try for a little tax increase next year?
Because as we know, we have failed to overcome our public education system in this country as a result of the election results, so it may well be that people will think the tax increase next year is Bush's tax cuts expiring.
And also for you brilliant agents.
And you um brilliant baseball players, I would like to remind you of this thing called retroactivity, uh, which was also part of Bill Clinton's tax increase in 1993.
It was retroactive for two or three years prior, although he did give us uh credit.
We had we we could pay over time.
Rather than coming up with a lump of what we would have paid had the tax increase the instituted '93 gone into place three years earlier.
So Wall Street turns to hard days ahead despite Obama win.
Planned layoffs jumped to near five-year high, and greedy sports players and agents are trying to beat the forthcoming Obama tax increase.
Want some exit poll data to buttress what I was discussing in the first hour.
Senator McCain, the theme, the purpose of his campaign was to go after moderates, to go after these uh these uh uh rock-ribbed independence and so forth.
Uh McCain lost independence and moderates 60 to 39 percent.
Did you hear that?
You people hear that.
And the Wizards of Smart on our side advocated this very strategic.
Just walk across the aisle, didn't you walk across the aisle, they break your leg, you reach across the aisle, break your arm.
If you walk and reach across the aisle, they punch you in the nose.
McCain lost independence 60 to 39 yet, get this number.
This is nationwide tallies now of exit polls.
Obama got 20% of the conservatives who voted in America yesterday.
So it says here, 20%.
Well, it says here conservatives.
I don't know if it's McCain got 78% of the conservative vote.
Doesn't say Republican here.
If McCain would have won 100% of a conservative vote, what might have happened yesterday?
Well, look what happened when conservatives opposed Prop 8 or supported Prop 8, whichever it is out in California.
The exit polls also showed, now, again, these are polls and these are exit polls, but I find this interesting.
Exit polls nationwide.
It's from CNN, by the way.
Exit polls showed that only 22% of voters yesterday claimed to be liberal.
34% claim to be conservative.
McCain got 89% of Republicans.
Whoa, looky there.
General Dinkins is on uh is on the Fox News channel.
General David Dinkins, mayor for life, first uh African American mayor of New York, said the birds were chirping nicer tunes that day as well.
Hoboes were begging for people uh from people a little bit more politely.
There's a glorious mosaic, it actually was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
22% in the exit polls yesterday claimed to be liberal.
34% claimed to be conservative.
McCain only got 89% of the Republican vote.
He only got 80% of the conservative vote.
And therein lies the tale.
The recipe offered up by the wizards of Smart in the Republican Party and on our side.
For whatever reason, whatever reason, we have got to abandon our base.
We've got to broaden our base.
We've got to reach out and just by the way, I have nothing against going out and getting Democrats and independents to vote for you, but not by behaving like a Democrat or an independent.
And not by, you know, welcoming them in as a corrupting influence in the party as moderate Democrats, independents, or whatever.
You go out there and you can you move them to the right.
And you do that with the core principles and beliefs of conservatism.
But you have to also be able to articulate it, and that is also a challenge that uh we will deal with in coming years, and that's finding somebody who can actually explain all this.
It isn't that tough.
All you got to do is really believe it.
You know, once you believe it, explaining's easy.
It's when you don't believe it and you're trying to fool people, it comes off, you come off as inarticulate.
And that's why when Obama sounds inarticulate, uh, and uh he's making sure he doesn't blow it like he did with Joe the Plumber, making sure he doesn't give away what he really thinks.
We'll be back.
Okay, people have been patiently waiting on the phones.
By the way, Hugo Chavez, we'll get to the phones here in just a second.
Hugo Chavez has congratulated the American people on behalf of the people of Venezuela for his important victory, Obama's important victory in an election that's captured the attention of international public opinion,
said Hugo Chavez, this historic election of an African American lead the most powerful country in the world is a sign that the era of change, which has taken root in South America, could be reaching the doorstep of the United States from the homeland of Simon Bolivar.
We are convinced the time has come to establish new relations between our countries and in our region based on the principles of respect for sovereignty, equality, and true cooperation.
So the socialist goon of Venezuela taking credit for the um victory of Barack Obama, change has moved north.
But don't worry about it, ladies and gentlemen, because when Barack Obama succeeds in ten years in getting rid of oil, we will have abundant alternative energy sources that will bring Hugo Chavez to his knees.
That is when Barack Obama gets rid of oil in ten years.
This is Ed in Buffalo.
Ed, I'm glad you called.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
How are you doing, Rush?
I just want to, you know, give you an observation and uh take your comments off uh you know offline.
Basically, Barack Obama and his campaign and those five those 500,000 mind numbers Bolsheviks that were sitting in that square have done to the U.S. what the Soviet Union couldn't do in 50 years.
This is the first album in the establishment of a Marxist state.
And if anybody who doesn't think so, had better, you know, had better get out there, better open up their eyes and better see what these people are doing.
Nobody out there knows exactly what this guy is going to do, but they love him.
That's basically how the Bolsheviks did it.
That's how most that's how most totalitarians do it.
At this point right now, I'm not scared.
I'm just in I'm I'm excited, I'm pumped up, and I'm ready to fight.
So every other conservative out there that isn't afraid, get involved, get into your communities.
It's time to do it.
Well, and we're going to do it, sir, but you've got to keep something in mind here.
You you talk about the Bolsheviks there in Grant Park last night and uh what that pretends to you.
The real way to look at this is this.
Forty percent of America.
And I'm not approximating the number here.
Forty percent of America knowingly last night voted for socialism, whether they know what it is or not, whether they know the definition of the word socialism or not, they understand the concept.
There are 47 million Americans who do not pay taxes, who do not pay income taxes, and I will wager that there's no polling data on this, but I will wager that the vast majority of them voted for Obama.
Now, they may not only you tell them Bolsheviks and Marxists and Lenin and Stalin, they don't even understand that.
They may not even understand socialism.
And if they do understand it, they think it's a good thing.
They've been taught that it's a good thing in Scruel.
So what are we gonna say?
Forty percent of the people of this country who vote want the kind of thing that Obama's gonna offer.
We this is we're gonna have to defeat 40% of the country.
And then after they're defeated, they're gonna be clamoring and mad and angry, and they're gonna be trying to it it it's all things are always going to be unsettled in in this realm.
There's always going to be a certain percentage of people who want something for nothing.
And I saw it was Mark Stein had the line of the National Review.
We've come a long way from JFK in 1960, who said, Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
That's 1960.
In nine and 2008, it's now Ask not what your country can do for you.
Demand what your country can do for you.
And that's who voted for Obama.
Now there are a lot of people also that voted for Obama that are not that way per se.
I mean, there was Shelby Steele's got a great piece today that this is white guilt on parade.
And he's written extensively of this, numerous books and articles.
And that's another thing.
Drive by trying to say, no, no, no, there wasn't any white guilt here.
There wasn't any uh there wasn't any raspberry effect or blackberry effect.
No, no, we we've really we've really gotten past it.
No, we haven't.
We've not gotten past it all.
Uh Obama made a bargain with them.
And they, you know, these these uh guilty white people, liberals, love the bargain that they were able to make with Obama.
And uh and basically Obama says, look at I'm not gonna do anything to you, I won't threaten you as long as you don't hold my race against me, and the and the bargain, okay, we'll support you.
It's a little bit more complicated than that, and I'm paraphrasing from Dr. Steele, and I'll share that with you in the upcoming portions of today's excursion into broadcast taxes.
But not everybody, my point is not everybody voted for Obama uh is being pulled by the cart, uh, not paying taxes.
There are a lot of smart people have voted for him.
Well, smart we even I get caught in a trap.
We got to redefine smart.
That's another thing that we have to do damn fast in this country.
Rushly baugh and the excellence in broadcasting network, America's truth detector, America's real anchor man, and the doctor of democracy.
By the way, doctors waiting room today overflowing.
This is Kim in Bluefield, West Virginia.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Um first of all, I wanted to say the problem wasn't Governor Palin.
The problem was McCain himself.
Now no, no, no, that's not what the uh intellectual's and the learned smart people on our side say, Kim.
Well, it it m uh Sarah P Sarah Palin spoke to the things that I was thinking about.
But but the next the main reason I called today was I wanted to say last night, Fox News, when they were talking about the ri the election results, they spoke about uh West Virginia uh went for McCain, and that we were a state of and that the people that that had went for uh govern for Mr. Obama were uneducated white people.
Wait, no they said the people that went for Obama were uneducated white people.
Right, right.
The poor, uneducated white people in West Virginia, of course, had went for uh had went and had went for McCain.
Oh, okay.
The Fox News people report that they're probably reciting their exit polls.
Well, well, but I mean the thing about it is in West Virginia, we've seen what socialism does.
Um we we just were coming out of that when that uh now this tragedy has happened.
Um you can come to West Virginia and see what socialized government programs do for people.
It's a trap.
You can't get out of.
I know this is the point.
People that live in welfare, people that have this is this is one of the things that's very, very frustrating to me is that we've got Obama and others who want to expand the welfare state because that's the only way they think they can equalize things and bring fundamental change.
I don't care where you go, where there's a welfare state, a neighborhood, a community, or a whole city, independent on a certain state that you might be in.
You see misery.
You see abject misery, and then somehow the Democrats turn around and succeed in blaming Republicans for the misery, and Republicans don't know what to do about uh defeating this sort of thing and in and or even rebutting it.
But the your comment about uh the uneducated white voters in West Virginia voting for McCain.
Probably exit polling data, but you have to understand to the elites.
What happened last night was enlightenment.
This country finally shed all of its evil and rotten prejudice baggage, bigoted baggage, and the enlightened finally saw the light.
And they acted for the best interest of the world in the best interests of the country in the best interests of mankind.
And then look, we got this little pocket of hicks.
In West Virginia, these uneducated white people.
And that that media liberals start throwing those terms around.
That's code word for basically deliverance types.
Well, of course they're not enlightened.
Of course they went for McCain, blah, blah, blah.
It's just a a continued effort to stigmatize and criticize and hold in a negative light people like you who uh who live in West Virginia.
The media aspect of this is another thing, but it is what it is.
And they're another entity here that's going to have to be countered, but eliminating them is going to be a uh it's not gonna happen.
That kind of an expectation is uh i just unrealistic.
Yeah, we had a horrible performance, but they got what they wanted.
They got what they wanted precisely by not telling anybody about the Democrat Party presidential nominee.
They got precisely what they wanted with their polling data and the early voting and the uh the creation of public opinion and so forth, and they were aided and abetted because they didn't have anybody on our side in the other campaign uh contrasting what they were saying about him and about us.
So all these things, there's a reason why all these things happen.
You can always find the reason.
They're not a mystery, these reasons you have to be honest with yourself about uh why, and that usually requires self-examination first.
And that is what is not happening in in uh even on our side right now.
Uh at least not honestly.
Here's uh here's Trevor in Cincinnati.
Trevor, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Thanks a lot, Rush.
Yes.
Um, uh, I just uh had one thing to say.
Um I've been watching uh Obama kind of pour honey into so many people's ears for the last couple of years.
Um, and during his victory speech last night, I I noticed that he said some things that uh he ha he didn't say a lot on his campaign trail.
I noticed that he said, you know, a lot of these issues that he said that he was gonna resolve and heal everyone's problems.
Um all of a sudden I hear him saying these problems aren't gonna be fixed within a year, probably not even within four years.
So I feel like he's already covering himself up, covering his own.
Well, this actually you're right.
We have two sound bites to illustrate this, by the way.
And you're very, very shrewd and very observant out there, Trevor, because the the Obama campaign actually began lowering expectations before yesterday, before the election, because they're getting a little alarmed here at the euphoria that has overcome his supporters.
And if you watched his uh speech last night at Grand Park, you saw their faces.
I mean, this was this whole big crowd business.
You know, this there's something about I can't, I can't put my finger on this other than to say I know it's marketing, and I know it's packaging, and by the way, I do think this, I think Obama is gonna replicate one thing that Clinton did.
I think Obama's campaign will never end.
His governance as president will be as a constant campaign.
Clinton never stopped campaigning.
The war room mode never shut down.
And I think it's gonna be the same thing with Obama and this big crowd business and this desire to have these huge crowds.
The pictures last night of these hordes.
I was looking at Obama's hordes.
In fact, I saw them outside the White House.
Do you know I've got a picture of these hordes outside the White House carrying a Soviet flag?
There's a picture of the Soviet flag, and I was hoping.
I was hoping these hordes would storm the White House grounds.
I would hope and I know it's not possible with all the security they got there.
But I was hoping these Obama hordes would somehow storm the White House fence.
That would have been so cool.
But of course it didn't happen out there.
Did you see the sign Vic Bush now?
I saw there was just all that snurred.
They convict Bush now.
They had the Soviet flag out there, and the media was loving all this because oh, Bush probably can't sleep.
You know, this was what time this is a one o'clock in the morning or some such thing, and it's oh wow, this is exciting.
A first family not gonna be able to sleep here tonight with all these people out there, convict Bush now and the Soviet flag out there.
I just I put these this these big crowds here, folks.
Something, something about this beyond marketing and packaging.
Let's go to these two sound bipes.
Uh, The reverb last night.
The reverb last night was uh more reverb than I have ever heard.
Here are the two sound bites.
Uh already campaigning for a second term, Barack Obama last night, Grant Park, Chicago.
The road ahead will be long.
Our climb will be steep.
We may not get there in one year or even in one term.
But America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
Okay, I remember that bike.
I was where are we going?
He didn't tell the crowd where we were going.
And the crowd didn't care where they're going.
The crowd thinks they're going to euphoria.
They think they're going to utopia.
Uh, and I'm, you know, this is this is the road ahead will be low.
Our climb will be steep.
We may not get that one year.
You know one term.
Well.
Now, some people think he's trying to lower expectations.
Uh I I'm making the case for a second term, but he's he's also telling people, I can't tell you what we're gonna do yet.
I've never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we'll get there.
Get where.
I mean, you're right, Snerdley.
This is almost sound like a line lifted from Dr. King's speech in 1963.
We as a people will get to the promised land.
I may not get there with you, but we as a people, we will get to the promised land.
Oh, I'm sorry, that April 3rd, 68, he said that.
Not 60, and that wasn't from the 63 speech.
April 3rd, 1968, before his uh before his death, the promised land will get there, climb will be steep, we may not get there in one year or even one term, but we're gonna get there.
Where?
Where the hell are we gonna get to?
Crowd didn't care.
Here's the next bite.
The Messiah lowers the bar.
There will be setbacks and false starts.
What's that mean?
There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president.
How can that be?
We know the government can't solve every problem.
What?
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.
I will listen to you.
Especially when we disagree.
Fairness doctrine?
And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation.
What?
The only way it's been done in America for 221 years.
We block by block.
We brick by brick.
We calused hand by callous hand.
What's it, bro?
You asking us to join in the work of remaking a nation.
That bite where he's going on and on and on about sacrifice is going to take hard work, a lot of sex.
The crowd, that's when I finally saw some consciousness on their face.
So, what?
I mean, that the cheering stopped, a little puzzlement, little uh look looks of the perplexed on these faces.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this sacrifice?
We gonna sacrifice.
So now this is pretty profound setbacks and false starts.
He's echoing Biden.
There aren't many who won't agree with every there are many who won't agree with every decision or pop.
Well, what about the unity?
And we now now folks, wait a minute now.
I I can just hear you.
See, I have empathy.
And can I just I can just hear something?
Why are you nitpicking Obama?
Rush, we know these things are just platitude.
The reason I'm nitpicking Obama is because his campaign was comprised of the exact opposite of this.
And people bought the exact opposite.
He didn't talk about setbacks and starts.
He talked about miracles.
He talked about lowering the sea level.
He talked about a new day.
He talked about world peace.
He talked about alternative fuels and no oil in ten years.
He talked about hope.
Where was this setback garbage in the campaign?
Setbacks.
Yeah, they have to sacrifice stuff too.
We didn't hear anything about sacrifice stuff.
The only thing we heard about sacrifice was when the rich were gonna be oops, sorry, when the rich were going to be doing it.
But now he told his own millions out there that they're gonna be sacrificing too.
That's why I'm nitpicking this.
Because I want people to understand what they have done.
I love like I said yesterday, I love enlightening stupid people.
There is nothing to me.
Well, I can't say nothing.
Things I like more than this.
But I, folks, I just I you talk about euphoria.
I get euphoric when I turn the light on inside some stupid person's brain.
Well, is that sound cruel, Mr. Snertley?
They call them stupid while you're not sure.
Well, well, what's wrong with the word stupid?
It has a definition.
There are some stupid people.
There are also some ignorant people.
You prefer ignorant.
Now you start to selling people on I said, don't offend them, Rush.
Don't offend them.
All right, I'll say ignorant people.
I'm talking about the ones with our side.
I'm not talking about our side.
I'm talking about the people who voted for Obama.
The ones on No, I'm not talking to the people on our side that voted for Obama.
I doubt they're still listening.
I hope that they have been humiliated in the first hour and are gone in meditation and contemplation.
I'm confident they'll be back.
Don't you enjoy folks?
Don't you like teaching people things when people have just fallen for a bunch of nothing?
And you are able to point out what they have fallen for.
Don't you love it when you see in their face?
Uh-oh.
We are trying to help them, Snurtley.
I am trying to be helpful.
You're a misunderstanding my tone here.
I get gleeful when I teach somebody something.
That's why I'm nitpicking this.
That's why I'm parsing this.
I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.
What challenges?
I didn't think there were any.
Once we had hope and change taken care of, and once he was elected, that was it.
I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.
Oh.
Now I happen to disagree.
You're going to listen to me or are you going to implement the fairness doctrine?
And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this name.
Now that remaking the nation.
That's not fixing something.
Remaking it?
What the hell is that?
And I maintain to you that the vast majority of people that voted for Obama aren't even thinking about this the way I'm thinking about it.
They're not even contemplating it.
There was no substance to the people electing him, most of them who did.
He was a symbol, represented all kinds of stuff.
That's why I'm nitpicking this.
Russia, you trying to make people bad?
Are you trying to make them feel bad for the decision they made?
Yes!
Of course I am, but what?
And furthermore, ladies and gentlemen, as I was saying, I hope you people in Ohio lose your coal industry, and I hope all your Joe the plumbers are unemployed in six months.
There.
Let's go through some news headlines very quickly.
This is from uh News Day.
Bloomberg to announce job cuts.
Oh no, to suture a growing budget gap.
Uh Mayor Michael Bloomberg today is expected to announce cuts of hundreds of jobs, reduction of firefighter training.
That's first responders, Obama.
You can't allow that.
And cancellation of the police academy's incoming class.
In January, some 3,000 jobs will be cut from the city's workforce, some by layoff, some by attrition.
Hey, I have a great idea.
Let's give this guy another term.
Uh let's see, what else we have here?
Uh blah, blah, blah.
California.
This is from our buddies at Newsbusters.com.
Californians, by very wide margins defeated two environmentalist wacko initiatives that anthropogenic global warming enthusiasts in the media and in legislative houses across the country should take heed.
Prop 7 would have required utilities to generate 40% of their power from renewable energy by 2020 and 50% by 2025.
It went down the tubes.
In California.
Do you realize what California conservatism won all over the place when it was on the ballot.
This is why we get frustrated.
We get frustrated.
I'm sorry, we get frustrated.
Proposition 10 would have created $5 billion in general obligation bonds to help consumers and others purchase certain high fuel economy or alternative fuel cars and to fund research.
Into alternative fuel energy, Prop 7 went down 64 to 35.
Prop ten alternative fuel vehicles went down 60 to 40.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, how can this be?
I thought the green industry was taking over and all this and why conservatism when it's on the ballot?
Why look at how it thrives.
Look at how it prosters.
Look prospers.
Look how it wins.
We did lose one thing.
