Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, I got a quick question here.
Snerdley, you might know the answer to this, or some of you people in the audience might know the answer to this, because I haven't seen anything.
Has President Obama instructed the Attorney General Eric Holder to swear out arrest warrants for the Taliban who have kidnapped an American soldier in Afghanistan?
No arrest warrants yet for the Taliban.
I mean, that's how they say they're going to fight this.
Of course, we issue statements.
This is a condemnation of international law and standards.
And big whoop.
We're talking about the Taliban here.
No arrest warrants, eh?
I wonder if we're preparing to read these kidnappers, quote unquote, their Miranda rights, if we make a move to recapture our soldier who is from Haito.
The family wanted this all kept quiet, by the way.
And of course, the family's wishes were not acquiesced to.
Greetings, folks.
Great to be with you.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Full week broadcast excellence straight ahead all five days.

The headlines today are somewhat amazing.
Obama sinking in the polls.
That's McClatchy.
Obama ratcheting up, going to take center stage on healthcare.
If he's going to take center stage, where the hell has he been?
He's been on center stage.
This is one of the problems, I think, with his poll numbers and something that I actually predicted.
The stimulus money is now starting to be, it's showing up in great detail, and there's so much stimulus money spent on ham.
Literally spent on ham.
Listen to this, folks.
Stimulus money, $2,531,600 for ham, water-added, cooked, frozen, sliced, two pounds.
This is from recovery.gov.
Stimulus money.
Awarded $1,191,200 for two-pound frozen ham slice.
Now, ham is pork.
I mean, it's just, it's amazing.
And now Obama's going to put off releasing the budget update, the annual summertime budget update.
The White House being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once upbeat productions or predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
I mean, the stimulus isn't working headline is out there today.
The healthcare headlines are incredible.
This healthcare business, by the way, I'm fascinated by some of the coverage on this as well.
Although some of it's starting to turn a little negative, the most, or the majority of it, I should say, the drive-by media, they look at it much as they did during the Bush administration, not on the substance of the issue, but is it going to be a win for Obama or is it going to be a loss for Obama?
As far as the state-run media is concerned, healthcare battle is not about the American people or what's best for the American people, but about Obama and what's best for him all day long.
That is what you read, and that is what you see.
The Politico has a story along the same lines.
This morning, the Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele took to the microphones of the National Press Club and called Obama's plan to overhaul healthcare socialism.
He accused the president of conducting a risky experiment, that would be spearmint for those of you in Riolinda, that will hurt the economy and force millions to drop their current coverage.
I watch a little bit of Steele, and Steele was mild-mannered.
The AP headline, RNC chairman attacks Obama on health care.
He didn't attack Obama.
disagreed with the plan and this this the the risky experiment you know that's a recycle of a democrat phrase that they recycled constantly on bush ideas a risky plan a risky this a risky that i mean it goes back to the clinton administration republican plans when they ran the congress a risky scheme risky this So Steele is recycling it because everybody's under the impression that that terminology worked.
Now, as you know, Obama is just in a full sprint hurry to get this done by August.
I don't see any way he can.
The governors are now very worried about it.
Bipartisan list of governors are very worried about it.
And the headlines are all over that Democrats are starting to get a little antsy about the budget, how much it's going to cost, the deficit's going to add up, the loss of freedom, what it's all going to mean.
And so this is causing Obama now to go out and take center stage on this, as though he hasn't been on center stage.
But there aren't any stories about what's going on behind the scenes, and I will guarantee you that the enforcer, the conciliary, Ram Emmanuel, has to be burning up the phone lines on these Democrats doing his best to twist their arms or use other measures.
Now, in a way of illustrating, ladies and gentlemen, the speed with which Obama and Pelosi are trying to ram this debacle down our throat.
I asked Cookie today, and you or I are going to hear this together for the first time.
I have not had a chance to preview it.
I asked Cookie to take four soundbites today and speed them up to almost chipmunk speed to illustrate the hurry Obama and Pelosi Arima said, don't speed it up so fast we can't understand what they're saying.
So here from last Saturday's YouTube, White House YouTube channel, President Obama is weekly address a portion of his remarks.
I want to be very clear.
I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.
And by helping improve quality and efficiency, the reforms we make will help bring our deficits under control in the long term.
Those who oppose reform will also tell you that under our plan, you won't get to choose your doctor, that some bureaucrat will choose for you.
That's also not true.
Michelle and I don't want anyone telling us who our family doctors should be, and no one should decide that for you either.
Under our proposal, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor.
If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance.
Period.
End of story.
Sorry, Mr. President.
None of it's true.
Every bit of that is a lie.
Betsy McCoy is back.
Remember, she's the one who read Hillary's health care plan, got the details out, helped to destroy it.
She has read the Obama plan, the House plan, essentially the Obama plan, and it's devastating what's in this.
In fact, not only are you going to lose your insurance package under most scenarios, but it is going to be the federal government choosing your doctor.
The federal government will choose your doctor based on the plan that they assign you to.
And if you don't have health insurance, you are subject to huge increases in penalties that the IRS will levy every year when you file your taxes.
But the one thing that's interesting about this, the doctors will still be liable for malpractice, even though it's the government choosing them.
The government will escape all liability for this, said one of their chosen doctors or mandated doctors makes some mistake.
Everything in that soundbite is not true.
Michelle and I don't want anybody telling us who our family's doctor should be, and no one should decide that for you either.
His plan does that.
If you like your doctor, you keep your doctor.
Maybe for a year until you either change jobs or your employer shelves his health care coverage for you.
Then you're gone.
You're finished.
Then you have to sign up for the public option.
Here's the second portion of those remarks.
Opponents of health reform warn that this is all some big plot for socialized medicine or government-run health care with long lines and rationed care.
That's not true either.
I don't believe that government can or should run health care.
But I also don't think insurance companies should have free reign to do as they please.
That's why any plan I sign must include an insurance exchange, a one-stop shopping marketplace where you can compare the benefits, costs, and track records of a variety of plans, including a public option to increase competition and keep insurance companies honest and choose what's best for your family.
This is outrageous.
This is blood-boiling stuff.
There are already 1,700, over 1,700 options you have available to you across the country in choosing health insurance.
And bringing the government into it will not expand competition.
What's one more entry?
When the government enters, they don't have to make a profit.
They can print money.
They're going to be competing against private sector insurance companies who have to make a profit, stay in business.
You can't stay in business if you're competing against somebody that doesn't have to make a profit.
Everything in this, it is socialized medicine.
It is government-run health care.
It's going to have long lines and rationing.
Let me give you an illustration.
I'll get into this in more detail as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears today.
Many people ask me over the course of my Sterling and starring broadcast career if I'm ever upset that I could never win a Pulitzer.
No.
If I won a Pulitzer, I would be embarrassed.
I might resign.
Well, Rush, don't you think you ought to get a Nobel?
Yeah, I think I do qualify for a Nobel Prize.
But I would shelve that if I could be the guy history acknowledges as warning the American people that this health care plan is nothing more than the subprime mortgage debacle ready to happen all over again.
We got the government involved in giving people homes who couldn't afford them.
The government mandated that lenders lend money to people who couldn't qualify, much less payback.
It started under Jimmy Carter.
It gained steam under Bill Clinton.
It was propped up and aided by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
They tried to shut it down with regulators over the course of the Bush administration, and it failed because the Democrats had their hands too deeply inside Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
And so you know what a debacle that was, and the government was running a plan designed to be wonderful.
Affordable housing, as Barney Frank calls it.
And it's just not fair that some people could have a house and some people couldn't.
So we're going to find a way to make it all equal.
Housing was a right.
Health care is a right.
The same people that gave us the subprime debacle, which is at the root of today's economic melees.
The same people and the same thinking and the same philosophy are behind this push for government-run health care.
It is socialized.
I don't care what the term that you come up with, and it's going to be nothing more than the subprime mortgage mess times 10.
Exactly that.
This bunch, the government's not in business to do this kind of thing.
They can't run private.
Do you know the minimum wage goes up this Friday?
Yes, with all the pressures that we face, employment and unemployment, the minimum wage is going to, yes, it's going up, let's see, $7.25 an hour on Friday, up from $6.55 an hour.
That's the federal minimum wage.
Now, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor stats, the national unemployment rate's currently 9.5%.
The national teenage unemployment rate, which, by the way, is defined or described as teenagers actively seeking full-time employment, that number is 24%.
According to Forbes magazine, this is the highest the national teenage unemployment rate has been in 44 years.
And a lot of experts agree that the main reason teenagers are not being hired now is because adults are applying for and taking positions that traditionally have been ideal summer jobs for teenagers because there's 9.5% of adults not working.
So on top of all of this, these young skulls full of mush out there think raising the minimum wage is something fair and just.
It's going to add to unemployment.
They also think record cold temperatures evidence of global warming.
So this is just, this is worse than the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
This is the gang that's trying not to shoot straight.
This is the gang that's purposely missing their announced targets.
Here's Nancy Pelosi, by the way, on Friday lying about how Obamacare will provide you with choice.
It's really important for everyone to know that when this bill passes shortly thereafter, pre-existing medical conditions will no longer bar people from having health care.
If you lose your job, if you change jobs, if you start a new business, if you become self-employed, you will continue to have health care.
It will lower cost.
It will improve quality.
It will expand choice.
And it will give people peace of mind.
It does none of this.
By the way, if you're just joining us, they're in such a hurry.
We're speeding up Pelosi and Obama today to illustrate the hurry that they are in because they know what a debacle this is.
They know that the more you learn about it, the more it's going to be opposed.
But this, I mean, I could parse this shortly.
Pre-existing medical conditions will no longer bar people from having health care.
Sorry, that may not be true if you happen to be of a certain age.
If you lose your job, change jobs, you start a new business, there is no portability of health care insurance in the House plan.
There's just out and out, not true.
Final bite.
This is legislation that will not increase the deficit.
Half of the funds for the bill will come from savings, others from a revenue stream.
I hope that we can change that percentage, that we have much more coming from savings.
In fact, I believe that all the cost of the health care reform bill can come from squeezing more savings out of the system.
Squeezing more savings out of the system.
Who's going to get squeezed, Madam Pelosi?
Who do you think is going to get squeezed?
The doctors?
The hospitals?
The insurance companies?
Now, the CBO, and this is why they're panicking in the White House, the CBO has come out, said the deficit is going to rise by $213 billion, and that's minimal.
The plan will not save money.
The CBO has just released figures.
That's why Obama wants to ignore them, and that's why not releasing the budget update.
It will increase the deficit.
They're just lying through their teeth about this.
Full-fledged.
And that's what I mentioned at the top of the program, the Drive-By Media, the state run, they're not dealing with the substance of this.
Can Obama eke out a win?
Can Obama, this is his signature issue.
Can he eke out a win?
And they even dragged Senator Kennedy in a Newsweek magazine, 40th anniversary of Chap Aquittick.
And this is what they get in Newsweek, Senator Kennedy writing about his lifelong cause.
So once again, we're going to, here we have Newsweek talking about the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill.
When I talk about it, I get creamed from here to Sunday.
Anyway, we've got to take a break.
We've got a lot on the plate today.
A lot on the table.
Sit tight.
We'll come back with all the rest of today's program in mere moments.
You know, it really, more than anything else, it's an insult to everybody's intelligence.
Obama, Nancy Pelosi, act like we don't have any idea who they are.
They act like they have no record.
These are the clowns who forced a stimulus bill on the nation that is a massive waste of money.
It has increased unemployment, and that unemployment's going to go even higher.
The stimulus bill is destroying small business.
The stimulus bill, the entire Obama economic plan is by design destroying the U.S. economy.
They're not interested in finding savings and efficiencies.
Pelosi runs around talking about savings and efficiency.
This is the bunch that has given us, if you run it out over 10 years, a minimum of $12 trillion in deficits.
And they're talking about efficiencies and savings.
They are failures at what they've already done.
There is no reason to invest or grant these people any more power.
They're not doing any of this for you.
They're not trying to make your life simpler.
They're not trying to give you easier and cheaper access to health care.
That's not what they're trying to do.
It's something far more sinister than that.
And I really do.
I want to be known as the man who saved America from subprime health care.
Subprime health care.
Blue sky promises till you get the bill.
They are laughingly promising more affordable health care until they raise the adjustable rates.
Remember how they told you an affordable mortgage until they adjusted the rates.
They promise better service in your health care until you have to wait for treatment.
By the way, the story in the stack here today, the foreclosure plan hasn't worked either.
Saving people from getting kicked out of their homes.
They promise prime health care at subprime rates.
And that's until you read the fine print, if they give you time to read the fine print.
Most people that vote on this bill are not going to have read it when they vote on it because the details of what's in it are really not the point in people voting for it or not voting for it.
It's just, you know, you sit here and this is not the kind of stuff you ever thought would happen in the United States of America.
And it is.
It's happening right in front of our eyes every day.
That's right, my friends, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Hey, we finally have a communist idea that's not coming out of Washington.
This is from the leader Telegram.
I'm not where this is.
Oh, it's in Wisconsin.
It's not just indoor public places in Eau Claire where lighting up is prohibited.
Now, residents of a south side owner-occupied housing complex will have to snuff out smoking in their homes.
The most recent sign of public anti-smoking sediment.
Members of the Fairfax Parkside Homeowners Association last Wednesday voted to outlaw smoking inside private residences that are part of the 34-unit development.
The ban also prohibits smoking in shared spaces such as porches and garages, but does allow it in yards and on patios.
Now, stop and think of this.
Homeowners Association banning smoking inside your own house, a communist idea that's finally not coming from Washington.
That's how this stuff is spreading.
But you can smoke outside.
Now, which is more likely to reach your neighbors and kill them?
Secondhand smoke inside your house?
Remember now we're talking Wisconsin.
Wintertime, the windows and doors are going to be closed.
When you go outside and smoke all you want, what's more likely to drift around and kill your neighbors, the secondhand smoke, from inside or outside?
Not to mention the fact you realize what the budget deficit's going to be if they actually succeed in snuffing out smoking everywhere.
We are going to see tax increases like you can't believe.
You know what the tax on cigarettes is if you don't smoke.
The tax on cigars if you don't smoke.
It's outrageous.
And it's being, money's being used to publicize or pay for health care for children, the S-CHIP program and so forth.
Tom Vilsack, who is the Secretary of Agriculture, has responded.
Matt Drudge has on his website today all of the details from recovery.gov of where the stimulus money has gone.
And he's focused a lot on how much money has been spent on ham.
So Vilsack has released a statement responding to the Drudge Report.
Through the Recovery Act, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made $100 million available to the states for the Emergency Food Assistance Program, that's TFAP, which acquires food that is distributed to local organizations that assist the needy, including food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens.
The references to two two-pound frozen ham sliced are to the sizes of the packaging.
Press reports suggesting the Recovery Act spent $1.19 million to buy two pounds of ham are wrong.
In fact, the contract in question purchased 760,000 pounds of ham for $1.91 million at a cost of approximately $1.5 per pound.
But you go down to Food Lion, you get this same stuff for 79 cents a pound.
In terms of the dairy purchase referenced, USDA's Farm Service Agency purchased 837,936 pounds of mozzarella cheese and 4,039,200 pounds of processed cheese.
Now, Vilsack, the Secretary of Agriculture, thinks that he's being a real smart guy here.
By hell, no, no, no, we didn't spend $2 million on two pounds of ham.
We spent it on blah, blah, blah.
It's not the point.
The stimulus plan was to put people back to work.
The stimulus plan was about economic recovery.
It wasn't about buying 4 million pounds or whatever of processed cheese.
It wasn't about buying ham, regardless how much it cost.
That's not what the Recovery Act or the Stimulus and Porculus bill was about.
We're not surprised to find it in there, folks.
We were among the loudest voices trying to clamor the warning that this was all a smokescreen, that there was no recovery in this.
There was nothing for jobs.
The highway projects are not happening.
The school repairs, nothing.
None of the infrastructure things that were promised are happening at all, which takes us back to this story from state-run Associated Press, White House being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once upbeat predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
The administration's annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in Obama's budget in February and in the May update.
It could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global warming proposals through Congress.
So, the release of the update, usually scheduled for mid-July, has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news, at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7th summer recess.
That's when Obama's shooting to have health care signed, passed, and signed into law.
That's how fast they want to move this, and they're trying to hide the actual budget numbers.
Now, the interesting thing is, if you go back to whitehouse.gov, I have it here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
I have the memo from Obama, R.E., Transparency and Open Government.
Memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies.
From Barack Obama, President of the United States.
My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.
We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration.
Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in government.
Government should be transparent.
Transparency promotes accountability and provides info.
It goes on and on and on.
And now they're hiding budget data.
Everything about this man, everything about this administration is a scam.
Everything is a sham.
Barack Obama is an illusion.
Practicing, he's an illusionist, practicing illusion day in and day out.
It's like we've always advised you when liberals open their mouths and speak, take the opposite of what they say to find the truth.
Maybe in his next speech, maybe in his next speech, President Obama will give us a telling statistic.
Maybe he will tell us how many people leave the United States for medical treatment in Canada or Britain versus how many people in Canada or Britain leave to come for treatment in the United States.
Maybe he'll tell us that number.
Maybe he'll tell us that the plan that he wants is so good.
It's a mirror image of the socialized plans in Canada and Great Britain.
Maybe he'll tell us how many Americans are leaving our country for better health care in Canada and Britain, maybe throwing Cuba.
Let's look at a parallel situation.
Government-run schools.
Obama is the National Education Association's best friend.
He even shut down a charter school program in D.C. because he wants to kill any competition with government schools.
And this was a school for minorities.
And the minorities in D.C. in this charter school were performing great.
They loved it.
Their parents loved it.
Obama shut it down, a school for minority kids.
He wants to kill any competition with government schools, yet he sends his own kids to an expensive private school.
His commitment to government school is purely political.
His personal commitment is to get the best education he can for his kids.
So he sends them to private school.
Obama and his ilk will do exactly the same thing with government-run health care.
They're going to have their own plan.
They're going to have their own exclusive doctors.
This is why I suggested three weeks ago, call your member of Congress, House or Senate, and ask him, are you going to sign on a public option you're writing for everybody else?
Answer, no.
They will not give up their own health care plan.
He and his other elites are going to find a way around every obstacle they're putting in front of us.
The public will not be able to find a way around it.
It'll be condemned to whatever the government dictates.
We are being condemned.
We're facing an economy that is condemned.
And it's a great word to describe what Obama is doing.
Now, Vilsack, this press release is amazing.
We didn't buy all that ham at, we didn't buy two pounds of ham for $2 million.
This guy sounds like he's running a deli.
The Secretary of Agriculture sounds like he's running a delivery.
Apparently, what we missed in the initial sales job for the stimulus package was shovel-ready cold cuts.
In addition to shovel-ready jobs, be right back.
Stay with us.
I mentioned at the beginning of the program some of the headlines today are very interesting.
Here's the politico.
And I'm going back, by the way, including last Friday, July 17th, headline in the Politico: Obama approval rating dips under 60%.
McClatchy newspaper poll, Americans split on healthcare as Obama's approval sinks.
Washington Post today, president set to take the baton.
It's going to be all Obama all the time.
What the hell has it been?
Betsy McCoy, New York Post, Obama's broken promises.
Oh, did you know that Obama found us a newsmax?
Obama's health care plan will specifically cover 12 million illegal immigrants.
We've been guessing that it would because we know what their aim is, but it is true.
Governors fear Medicaid costs in health plan.
You see, Medicaid is bankrupting the states.
Medicare is bankrupting the federal government.
And we're going to.
And then there's this, the New York Times, state tax revenues at record low, Rockefeller Institute finds.
And of course, this revenue that's not coming in is of no concern to Obama or any of the people in his administration because it's the result of their plan.
You can't have increased revenues to the Treasury with unemployment bordering on 10% and growing.
Here is from yesterday in the political.
Obama feels the heat, changes the play.
Washington Post today, poll shows Obama slipping on key issues.
And in every one of these stories, every one of them, except for Betsy McCoy's, these stories are written as if Obama's success or failure in jamming his agenda down our throats is no different than if Tiger Woods wins or loses the next major.
We hear how tough the game is for Obama at this point.
We hear that his approval ratings is slipping, that his prior victories were so much easier, that Obama is working harder, he's getting tougher, he's going to grab the baton, he's making minor adjustments in his game.
There's nothing in these stories about destroying the U.S. economy.
There is nothing in these stories about Obama lying through his teeth about his agenda.
Well, here's the news flash.
It's like I said just a minute ago, Obama-Pelosi act like we don't know who they are, and they don't have a record.
Obama's not operating in a vacuum where his political successes and failures should be simply recorded as a winner-loss, and we move on to next week's game.
We're getting sports journalism here from state-run media.
Nothing more than chronicling victories and losses and reporting them with a kind of respect for the way the game is played by a crowd favorite, meaning Obama.
Nothing about the substance, nothing about the details of any of this.
It's just is Obama going to win?
Is Obama gonna lose?
Can he play the game better?
Now, the CNN story, Obama approval rating dips under 60%.
There may be, and this is not wishful thinking.
I'm just making an observation.
If you go back to the impeachment era, the Lewinsky era with Clinton, remember his approval numbers, regardless, always stayed at 60.
I really think if his numbers had slipped below 60 and started declining, there would have been a whole different outcome to that story.
And somehow they kept that approval number at 60.
Now, with Obama, it ain't at 60.
It's at 59 and 57, 56 in some places.
This is so drastic and dramatic what this administration's doing.
Folks, there are people within the Democrat Party, rich Democrat.
This is not what they thought they were getting.
I'm talking about rank and fellow American citizen Democrats.
I'm not talking about leadership Democrats, people in elected office.
This is not at all what they were camping.
They thought this guy was going to be moderate.
Well, we could chalk them up to being ignorant, of course, and naive.
Of course, they are.
And of course, they're dead wrong as well.
But I'm not saying a tipping point's been reached, but this, and oh, and here's another thing.
There are stories in the stack today, but the blue dog Democrats might provide the opposite.
Folks, there's no such thing as a blue dog Democrat with Obama in the White House and a Ram Emanuel in the White House and Nancy Pelosi as speaker.
This blue dog Democrat is a scam.
Remember, there was a story moving a metal block.
It was a story that I'm not even going to try to remember what it was until I actually say what it was until I remember what it was, but it was a scam.
It was a story designed to make us think that things were falling apart on the other side.
People were ready to join us on something, and it turned out to be totally untrue.
I think these stories about the blue dog Democrats going to stand up to Obama and so forth, worried about their own reelections.
No, no, no, no.
What do you mean, cap and trade?
No, but it's not the cap and trade.
I know what you're talking about, but that's not what I'm thinking of.
It's something bigger.
It'll come to me.
I'm just having it.
I've got too much.
Not even my fertile mind can keep track of all the neuron explosions.
Rapid firing in my brain right now.
But I think this blue dog, they're Democrats, folks.
Democrats, a Democrats, a Democrat.
Blue Dog, Red Dog, Black Dog.
They're Democrats.
And Rahm Emanuel's not going to allow a Blue Dog Democrat to vote with Republicans or side with them.
Nancy Pelosi isn't either.
They're not going to get campaign money.
They're going to have candidates pick to run against them in primaries.
Do not fall for this notion that we're going to have help from the Democrats on it.
This is going to be defeated as we've had to defeat illegal immigration, amnesty, and so forth.
And that is with the American people.
The American people are going to have to provide the impetus and the energy for this.
To sit here and rely on blue dog Democrats joining us in this is we're being faked out.
And I'm urging you not to not not to fall for this.
Look, Sam Johnson, Representative Sam Johnson offered an amendment in the House Ways and Means Committee to exclude illegals from national health care.
The Democrats voted him down in committee at Ways and Means.
Obama's health care plan will specifically cover all the anti-Hillary Democrats.
Remember, that's right.
It was the anti-Hillary Democrats, all those women that were supposedly really upset at Obama because of the way Hillary was being treated and so forth and so on, are going to vote Republican.
It was a website scam.
Got everybody to think it didn't happen.
It wasn't really true.
Same thing with the Blue Dogs.
In fact, yeah, I'll explain this when I have more time.
It was those women that had these websites all during last spring and summer fed up with Obama because of the way Hillary was treated.
And they didn't exist.
They never materialized.
And that's what the Blue Dogs.
Besides, Ron Emmanuel recruited the Blue Dogs.
Folks, we'll be back.
