Time Text
Hey, I got a question, folks.
Does somebody tell me how many people have fainted at an Obama rally lately?
Big fat zero, right?
Remember all those people fainting at Obama rallies during the campaign?
Not happening now.
Greetings.
Welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh and this, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you with us.
The telephone number 800-282-2882, email address, lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
Brown versus Coakley.
I don't think, I really don't think any of the talking heads, any of the state-controlled media, Democrat Party, I don't think they will truly grasp the profundity of a Scott Brown victory if it happens.
And the reason I think that is they're so focused on health care.
Who knows what's going to happen to Obama's health care?
I have to tell you, I think something else is on the board here.
The Democrats have made no secret of the fact that if Brown wins this tomorrow, then they're going to take steps to make sure they get health care done before he gets there to stop it.
This cannot bode well for them.
David Schuster on PMS NBC asked if Massachusetts Democrats have lost their minds.
No, they've lost their freedom.
They have lost their freedom.
This is what the talking heads and the Democrat Party do not realize.
They're so focused on Obamacare.
Let's win one for Obama.
Let's keep the Kennedy seat.
Let's keep the blue state vote.
They're missing the real story.
And the real story is the pulse of our nation.
America is hardwired for liberty, independence, and freedom from overbearing government.
And the ABC News Washington Post poll that was released yesterday proves it.
In that poll, 58% want smaller government with fewer services.
They don't want what we have now.
The founding fathers built in checks and balances.
The liberal politicians for life get around that.
And they're trying to get around the checks and balances even now.
And one of the balances and one of the checks is an election.
And they're still maneuvering to try to make the election meaningless.
Our founding journalists had built in checks and balances on politicians.
But today's pretend journalists are nothing more than liberal propagandists and liberal activists.
So the only real check and balance left is us, the people.
We, the people.
And tomorrow, it'll be we the people of Massachusetts in November, we the people of America.
I think they, I really think they're in such a bubble that they don't understand.
This is not just about health care.
It's about far more.
It's about the fact that people do not want this agenda.
They do not like a Nancy Pelosi Politburo strile, House of Representatives, and a Harry Reid Politburo-style Senate.
And they don't like an inexperienced president simply screwing up everything he touches.
They don't like it.
They don't like the agenda, period.
Now, to show you that they're dumb and insensitive and arrogant and conceited, in an interview a couple days ago with the liberal journalist Al Hunt, this is on Bloomberg TV, they were discussing, it was Chris Von Holland, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman.
He's a congressman from Maryland.
And they were discussing such things as Scott Brown's surge in Massachusetts and the likelihood of the Republicans capturing control of the House this year.
And Von Holland repeated a talking point that I heard from many Democrats all last week.
And you've heard it too.
You'll remember when I pass it on to you.
Then Holland said, why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?
They are talking about the race to replace Ted Kennedy.
Now, if anybody walked away from the accident after driving the car into a ditch, it is Ted Kennedy.
Why would they remind people of that?
It's funny.
They're just dumb and insensitive.
Now, here's a great indicator.
I saw this mentioned too in other polling results earlier today.
And there's a little blog out there, AJ Stratum, that I was checking out.
And this I think this is a good indication.
Coakley is down by 16% in absentee voting.
Now, in many states, absentee voting pretty much tracks with day of vote voting.
It's really not that much different in most states.
Now, in some states and in some precincts, some counties run by the Democrats, they'll hold out and see how many votes they need to win a certain election, and they'll play some games with voter registration and absentees.
But Real Clear Politics is reporting 9% of Massachusetts voters who voted absentee, which ended a couple days ago.
Brown is winning 5842 or 16%.
And that's right in line with computations which indicate that Coakley could lose by as much as 10%, depending on who is energized to get out and vote.
So if absentee voting is any indication of intensity, and it is, by definition, it is, then by this measure, Coakley is toast.
But one thing concerns me, and that is all the reporting, even the White House, oh yeah, yeah, I think we're toast.
White House is telling CNN, I think there's no way Coakley's going to lose.
Folks up in Massachusetts, this could be a ploy to get you to relax.
To think it's already over.
I know you're not going to fall for it, but I'm just going to remind you, don't fall for it.
The weather forecast today and tomorrow are not good for Boston and much of Massachusetts, which would indicate a low turnout among people who are not highly mobilized, motivated, and energized to get out.
I think the race up there, turnout probably on the Brown side is going to be very high because I think this has become a cause, not just a race.
People want to stick it to the machine.
Coakley, Marsha Coakley, just a symbol, according to Patrick Kennedy, called her Marcia numerous times yesterday.
Marcia Coakley, just a symbol of their pent-up frustration against what Brown is brilliantly running against.
Brown's running against the machine.
So the absentee vote, I think, is a key signal of the enthusiasm gap that does exist up there.
And no late surge can take away his absentee vote lead.
Now, there's a Harvard professor who has explained the race.
Rosabeth Moss Cantor, the professor, Harvard Business School.
Is that politico?
Will Marcia Coakley win the Massachusetts Senate seat?
Yes.
Will Scott Hu Brown become a National Republican darling and Fox talk show guest?
Yes.
Can we read the Tea Party tea leaves about next November's congressional elections?
No.
Then why did the race tighten?
Well, as an adult, lifelong Massachusetts citizen, let me count the ways.
This is Rosabeth Moss Cantor, Harvard Business School.
The weather has been brutally cold.
Seasonal affective disorder has set in, and people are cranky.
Grouches want things to oppose so they can express their general discontent.
So the reason that Coakley is losing, according to a Harvard business school professor, Rosabeth Moss Cantor, is it's the fault of grouches with cabin fever.
She continues, Coakley, whom I support, has not run a perfect campaign.
Brown has come across as a charmer.
Coakley doesn't remind anybody of Ted Kennedy, nor can she claim his mantle.
So the nostalgia factor doesn't work in her favor.
There are some of the reasons, or these are some of the reasons, the race has tightened.
In the end, however, what matters is not polls, but who goes to the polls, so to speak.
The Democrats have formidable get-out-the-vote machines, especially in Mayor Tom Menino's Boston.
Coakley has a big women's network, a group with a high percentage of likely voters who are mobilizing their email pals.
So Coakley will win, and it might not even be a squeaker.
That's from Rosabeth Moss Cantor, who says, all this polling showing Brown way ahead is just a bunch of grouches who have cabin fever.
And it's totally absurd.
That's why I'm passing it on to you.
It is 100% totally absurd.
There is no energy.
It's Harvard.
Yes, look at that's the machine, too, the elites.
This is what people are fed up with.
All these people that openly claim we're smarter than you.
We know better than you.
You don't know what's good for you.
We know what's good for you.
This is people who are hardwired for liberty and freedom in the pursuit of happiness.
And these people don't get it.
I'll tell you, it's a condescension, an arrogant condescension the elites have for average people.
You heard it in the soundbite of John Kerry and Obama and Marcia Coakley making fun of Scott Brown driving a truck.
And yet these people make a play for NASCAR votes every year.
Quick timeout.
Your phone calls next.
Lots still to do.
Stay.
Fred Barnes, The Weekly Standard, interesting story.
Paul Kirk cannot vote after Tuesday, according to Republican lawyers.
Republican lawyers say that Paul Kirk, who's now sitting in the Senate in the Ted Kennedy seat, will no longer be a senator after Election Day, regardless when it's certified.
Appointed Senator Paul Kirk will lose his vote in the Senate after Tuesday's election in Massachusetts of a new senator and cannot be the 60th vote for Democratic health care legislation, according to Republican attorneys.
Kirk has vowed to vote for the Democrat bill, even if Scott Brown is elected, but not yet certified by state officials and officially seated in the Senate.
Kirk's vote is crucial because without the 60 votes necessary to stop a filibuster, the bill will be defeated, which would be a devastating loss for Obama and congressional Democrats.
In the days after the election, it is Kirk's status that matters, not Brown's.
Massachusetts law says that an appointed senator remains in office until election and qualification of the person duly elected to fill the vacancy, quote unquote.
Now, the vacancy occurred when Senator Kennedy died in August.
Paul Kirk was picked as interim senator by the Governor Duval Patrick.
Democrats in Massachusetts have talked about delaying Brown's certification should he defeat Martha Coakley on Tuesday.
Their aim would be to allow Kirk to remain in the Senate and vote the health care bill.
But based on Massachusetts law, Senate precedent, and the U.S. Constitution, Republican attorneys said that Kirk will no longer be a senator after Election Day, period.
Brown meets the age, the citizenship, and the residency requirements in the Constitution to qualify for the Senate.
Qualification does not require state certification, the lawyer said.
19 states are prepared to file suit against the health care bill in the Senate because of all the Louisiana purchase and the Corn Husker kickback and this sort of thing.
This is by no means over.
By no means is this over.
Now, whether the Republicans will actually have the Gonez to go out there and file a suit and claim that Kirk has no standing remains to be seen.
But if they don't, they're missing a golden opportunity.
The people of this country, not just Republicans, people of this country are fired up.
The people of this country want no part of the Democrat agenda.
I mean, they're even losing their base over some of this in convoluted ways, but they are.
Now, listen to this montage that we put together yesterday in Boston.
This is a bunch of people and reporters talking to people, students, waiting to get into the Martha Coakley rally, and you'll hear a theme here.
So why are you guys here today?
You'll see a lot.
So what do y'all think about Martha Coakley?
I'm from New York.
Is there anybody else here that you're here to see?
Not really.
Why are you here today?
To see Obama.
Anybody else?
Why are you here today?
Hey, Ken Obama.
See Obama.
Anybody else?
Is there anybody else you came here to see today?
Why are you here today?
See Obama.
Anybody else you're here to see?
All right.
Is anybody voting in this election?
Why are you guys here today?
To see Obama.
Anybody else?
All right.
Scott Brown.
Scott Brown.
Thank you.
They just heard a celebrity was in town.
They showed up to see Obama.
They're clueless on Coakley.
Clueless on Coakley.
And Obama did not make the case for Coakley.
He made the case for himself, and he's not on the ballot.
CNN's Ed Henry, I referenced this earlier.
This is Sunday morning State of the Union.
John King said Republicans believe if they win this race, they can tie up the Senate, prevent a vote on health care reform and other issues.
That happens to be a fact.
In terms of that fear, I was told very reliably that a couple of the president's top advisors have told senior Democrats they think Coakley is going to lose.
Now, there may be some hyperbole in that.
It may be about scaring the base, you know, turnout and she's going down.
But the way I'm hearing it is that there is real genuine fear inside the White House that she's going to lose.
That's going to have dramatic implications, not just on health care, but beyond.
And again, Ed Henry may have a point that we'll be putting this news out trying to frighten the Democrat base into showing up.
I don't think that's going to work.
You know, that's kind of being too cute by half.
There's, you know, what's missing here from the Obama side, what's missing is any desire to save the Obama agenda.
See, this is what's missing.
There's no desire to save it.
The desire is to stop it.
There isn't.
Martha Coakley would not be in trouble if there were a desire to save this agenda.
We can look at the polls on health care.
36% of the people want it.
Over 50% do not nationwide.
In Massachusetts, it's the same, pretty similar.
The energy to save health care is not there.
The energy to save the Obama agenda is not there.
The magic has been lost.
All of that's gone.
People aren't fainting anymore at Obama rallies.
Wall Street looking at Massachusetts as the place where the American economy could be saved from the Pelosi-Obama socialist agenda.
This last Friday on CNBC, Jim Kramer, who's in the tank for Obama, after a brief flirtation outside the tank, the Obama administration really came down on him on the Jon Stewart show.
So Kramer got his mind right.
He's in the tank for Obama, but nevertheless said this.
We could have a gigantic rally off a Coakley loss and a Brown win.
It will be a signal that a more pro-business, less pro-labor government could be in front of us.
Hey, would you say it is more China-like, perhaps?
No, we can never be as capitalist as the communist Chinese.
But how about a little less like the old Soviet Union?
Yeah, that'd be more like it.
Pelosi Pulit Bureau emasculation.
Everything from the banks, which are usually in the Democrats' penalty box, to the oils, which are despised by this administration for being carbon, could be propelled dramatically higher.
All of this Tuesday night.
That would be a fascinating thing if it happens.
If all of these interesting stocks and these areas of business skyrocket up because of a Coakley loss and an Obama loss.
Kramer still has a job.
Oh, yeah, he got his mind right.
Oh, yeah, he got his mind right.
He drifted off the reservation.
You remember after, I forget the guy, Santelli?
After Santelli started a Tea Party movement, you know, Kramer got on board.
And then he made the mistake of going to Jon Stewart show, and Jon Stewart pummeled him into embarrassment and submission.
So he got his mind right, went back to CNBC, became one of the biggest shills for Obama, and he has been ever since.
But he's talking about stocks going through the roof, business rebounding if there is a Coakley loss, which equals an Obama loss because of a Brown victory.
All right, to the phones to Roscoe, Illinois.
And Jim, you're next.
Great to have you on the program today, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Hey, tell me, maybe you can help me understand why the bribes that Pelosi, Reed, and Obama are dealing out for this health care bill are any different than the bribes that Blagojevich has been charged with.
Well, Blagojevich was asking for personal money to appoint people to that Senate seat that Obama had vacated.
I voted against the guy twice in a row, and he's about to destroy the state, but still, you know.
I get your point.
It's still Chicago thug politics.
It is.
But this is the way of the world in Congress bribing people.
They're called earmarks.
I mean, how do you think they got the slush fund, the first slush fund, the second slush fund passed?
The first slush fund, $787 billion, but it cost a trillion because they had to pay off a bunch of congressmen to vote for it.
This is not new.
This is just nakedly visible.
This is just apparent to everybody.
This happened out in the open, and everybody saw it.
And Ben Nelson's numbers now in Nebraska are down to 40% approval, according to the latest news that I saw prior to the program starting today.
And 19 states are prepared to file an action against this health care bill if it passes, because this is, in their minds, unfair, violates the Constitution, therefore is illegal.
But to totally pay off Ben Nelson by handling and the federal government taking on the cost of all new Medicaid enrollees after this passes, and there's going to be a slew of them, because everybody's going to be shuffled off onto Medicaid and agreeing to do basically the same thing for Mary Landrywood down in Louisiana.
New York's going to pay for it.
Patterson and Bloomberg don't like it.
Schwarzenegger in California doesn't like it.
They don't like it in Michigan.
This is just nakedly visible to everybody.
And this is what I meant earlier when I said liberalism is a lie, but often people don't see the lie.
You have to trust somebody like me to tell you it's a lie.
Now, it's out in the open.
People see what liberalism is when they are arrogant, when they think they have unstoppable, undefeatable power.
That conceit and arrogance is on display, and the way they do things goes public instead of remaining private.
Few people see it.
People see it.
They don't like it.
They want no part of it.
And they find out exactly who all Democrats are.
Obama's destroying the Democrat Party.
Regardless of what happens tomorrow, he is still doing that.
America's Truth Detector and the Doctor of Democracy, Rush Limbaugh executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes.
I was happily wrong on Friday, ladies and gentlemen, when I warned, I didn't predict, but I warned of a possible hit piece on Scott Brown over the weekend from the Boston Globe.
None was forthcoming.
There hasn't been one.
In fact, a couple of stories in the Globe, one by somebody that's been in the tank for Marsha Coakley all this time, pretty much concedes it to Scott Brown.
It's interesting.
Race in a spin-out, Brian McGrory, Boston Globe columnist.
Marcia Coakley made a draw.
I know it's Martha, but Patrick Kennedy called her Marsha all day yesterday.
And so I know the Democrats did their hit piece with the rape ad, but that would be about as effective as Martha Coakley running an ad saying the Haiti earthquake is because Scott Brown knows George Bush.
I mean, that's how effective that rape ad.
This is she's the one that has the explaining to do on letting sexual predators go scot-free and not be charged.
She's the one that has explaining to do when she was, you know, the prosecuting attorney and attorney general.
She's got the explaining to do on that kind of stuff.
People in Massachusetts know all about that.
Marcia Coakley made a draw-dropping declaration earlier this week at the only live televised debate in Boston that she's deigned to do.
She said, and I quote, I've traveled the state and met tremendous people.
If she did, it was under the cover of darkness with an assumed name, because if she had really traveled the state, if she had taken the time to meet voters, Marcia Coakley wouldn't be in the position she finds herself in now, heading into the final weekend of this special election campaign in a perilously close race against a Republican state legislator nobody had heard of six months ago.
Back in December, Coakley beat her closest opponent by 19 points.
She strolled into the general with high name recognition, strong favorability ratings, and as the Democratic candidate in a state that hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate since 1972, it looked as if it would be impossible to lose.
So what did she do?
She tried to accomplish the impossible.
Literally, she all but vanished.
She refused to debate on TV unless it was exactly on her terms.
She went days without venturing out in public.
When she did appear, it was typically to accept endorsements from elected officials or union heads in front of supportive crowds.
Anyway, this is the Boston Globe, and this was on January 15th.
And it's a prelude to throwing her under the bus.
Listen to this.
It's the final three paragraphs.
Prominent Democrats in Boston privately seething at the candidate and her campaign.
First and foremost, they say the immediate impact defeat could have on the health care overhaul, but beyond that, they fret about the seismic impact a Republican victory in Massachusetts would have on Obama's national standing.
And they're nearly despondent about what a defeat would mean to Ted Kennedy's legacy and memory.
We're at an amazing point right now in which nobody knows what will happen Tuesday.
It's not because of anything Coakley did, but because of everything that she didn't.
Jake Tapper at his ABC blog, Martha Coakley, a Democrat canary in a coal mine.
Political operatives say the Senate race in Massachusetts between Marcia Coakley.
Scott Brown, too close to call, but the fact that Obama felt the need to fly in to campaign for a Democrat in one of the most Democrat states in the nation speaks volumes about the ugly climate for Democrat candidates.
Coakley has run an imperfect campaign.
She's had a rough couple weeks, but as one senior White House official acknowledged, in Massachusetts, even after a rough couple weeks, a Democrat should be ahead.
Polls have Coakley and Brown neck and neck.
So it's despondency and depression in the state-controlled media.
Now, the AP has an interesting story here.
Coakley hopes for historic win in Kennedy seat bid.
Would somebody explain to me what the historic bid would be?
What is this historic win?
The headline should be, Coakley poised for an historic loss.
What is so historic about this election is this, they say.
Coakley, hoping to become the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, said she always expected a tough election.
So AP, shameless propagandists in the tank, Coakley hopes for historic win in Kennedy seat bid because she would be the first female elected to the Senate from Massachusetts.
There's, I say, the more apt headline, Coakley poised for an historic loss.
Back to the phones, Anne in Cadillac, Michigan.
Glad you waited.
You're on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Oh, it's so exciting to talk to you.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
That's wonderful.
Well, I was just thinking that this deal that the unions may be getting of protection from having to pay the extra taxes because they've given so much money to the Democrats seems a lot like the sort of deal you would get from the mafia when you pay for protection and they shake you down for some money and then they'll protect you.
Exactly.
And again, this is another thing that happened right out in the open.
What it is.
I mean, it is.
It's a shakedown.
Organized crimes type shakedown.
I mean, everybody on the other side of the glass is laughing, but I think your point is well made.
But you see, here again, folks, this happened out in public.
It was nakedly visible.
The unions made a big stink publicly of saying, whoa, we're not supporting this.
You saying we are going to pay a tax on our Cadillac health care bills?
You got another thing coming, Mr. President.
They could have done this behind closed doors.
They could have done it behind the scenes.
They went public.
At first, the White House held firm, but then the White House caved.
The White House has been buying off whoever they need to buy off to get this done.
You know, even Democrats who voted for this thing, some of them, Paul, or what's it, Ben Nelson, he is out there saying, you know, we ought to junk this and start all over.
We should have focused on the economy first, which they did, by the way, and gave us the current predicament that we are in.
By the way, do you know that unemployment benefits have been extended longer now than at any time in American history, breaking the record in 1982?
And you have to conclude here that extending unemployment benefits also extends unemployment and contributes to unemployment.
There can be no question about it.
You would have, I'm sure even economic experts at the AP would agree with that.
What everybody is missing is that this is not accidental.
This is not a bunch of mumbling, bumbling, fumbling around by dumb, naive people.
What's the guy's name that played, he appeared at a Scott Brown rally yesterday?
John Katzenberger, he was in cheers.
I think it was Katzenberger, Ratzenberg, Ratzenberger.
You know what he basically got it right?
What he basically said, he said, I was at Woodstock.
I built the stage at Woodstock.
And all we have here are a bunch of 60s hippies that have assumed power.
Just a bunch of 60s type hippies.
And I'm sure he's referring to people like Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground, the new Black Panthers, and all these radicals that Obama has appointed to positions in government and czars in his White House.
He said, I built the stage at Woodstock.
And when everything went bad, when it all fell apart, it was the National Guard that came in there and fed those drugged out people peanut butter sandwiches.
It was the very people these hippies are protesting came in and saved them.
And now these people have realized the Clintons are part of this 60s hippie generation.
They are.
They've achieved power.
They finally got there.
And while you could say that they're naive in their idealism, it's a mistake to chalk up all this as an accident.
This is not the result of good intentions.
This economic disaster is not the result.
And the slush fund to fix it, the TARP fund, these are not accidents.
These are purposeful steps.
And I don't believe that these people really do believe this is going to revive an economy.
That's not what they're trying to do.
They're trying to show their compassion.
They're trying to enlarge government.
These are big statists.
These are socialists, fascists, or whoever.
They're radicals.
They're on the fringe of American thought and belief.
But because their beliefs were embodied in some great orator who was able to be a blank piece of canvas, people were allowed to paint whatever they wanted to on that canvas and make Obama whatever they wanted him to be, he got elected because the Republicans didn't have the guts and the chutzpah to campaign and run a real critical presidential campaign of who the guy was.
And they knew who he was, but they refused to do it.
And the Democrats were wise.
They knew that the Republicans would not criticize him because he's black.
They were intimidated.
They didn't want to be called racists.
So they backed off McCain firing people who even pronounced Obama's middle name.
He wouldn't have that.
Mark McKinnon, who was his original media director, said, if there's any criticism of this historic man, Obama, I'm out of here.
And he did quit the campaign.
Now, the reason that the blank canvas thing worked is because for five years and maybe longer, I'd have to say for the entire eight Bush years, but it really intensified after the invasion of Iraq.
There was a relentless and an unstoppable lie after lie after lie about the state of the economy, about how America was viewed in the world.
We are torturers.
The world hates us.
We are creating terrorism.
Look at all the people that believe that Bush actually had something to do with 9-11.
You had Michael Moore out there with Fahrenheit 911, which is a total piece of propaganda.
Then he makes this movie that healthcare in Canada or Cuba is better than health care here.
Meanwhile, doctors are deporting.
Well, they're abandoning.
They're defecting from Cuba left and right.
People believe this stuff because the Bush administration never defended itself.
The Bush administration never laughed at him.
You guys are crazy.
The Iraq war was painted as unjust and immoral and unnecessary.
I mean, they gemmed.
I mean, you give the press and the Democrat Party five uncontested years.
Every day, an assault on one man and his administration, and there's nothing anybody can do to stop the result.
And it's exactly what happened.
You should have heard people coming out of this rally for Coakley yesterday where Obama was, still blaming Bush.
Poor Obama, he's working 36 hours a day to fix the Bush mess.
We had 4.7% unemployment.
We had full statistic, full employment in this country.
We had revenue to the Treasury that was going like crazy because of capital gains reductions.
15% is the capital gains rate right now.
I mean, it was, folks, it was the exact opposite of the way it was being portrayed.
Every day, we had a new body count out of Iraq.
Every day, an unjust, immoral war.
The Democrats actively pursued defeat.
This war is lost, said Harry Reid.
They called Petraeus a liar.
They had people in this country hating their own government, hating their own president, hating their own country after five years of propaganda-like, unresponded-to, unanswered lies.
It's not that the press is powerful.
They're not as powerful as they used to be.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a race in Massachusetts.
And by the way, if there's no difference in the two parties, why do we care who wins up there tomorrow?
Hmm?
If all these political parties are the same, it doesn't matter to them, does it, who wins?
What's all the Erasmotez about?
These Democrats, if you give the Democrats and the press five years, 24-7, of unanswered attacks, they can change public opinion.
And they did.
So people thought Obama was a messiah.
There was a cult-like thing that developed.
And they gave him, of course, the benefit of the doubt why he got in there.
And the first six months, everything going wrong, they accepted it being blamed on Bush.
But they had painted Mr. Perfection on that canvas.
And there's nothing in reality that approaches what they painted.
And so now the day of reckoning has come.
And the whole blank canvas and the whole myth that Obama was something new and different, unprecedented, blown to Smithereans.
You've got to deal with that now.
Back in a moment.
Hey, get this.
A Democrat mayor of Quincy, Massachusetts has endorsed Scott Brown.
James Sheets is a six-term Democrat mayor of Quincy today endorsed Scott Brown for United States Senator and released the following statement.
Despite being a lifelong member of the Democrat Party, I'm endorsing Scott Brown for Senate, as I know he'll always represent Massachusetts with an independent voice in Washington.
Marcia Coakley has repeatedly stated she would cast a critical 60th vote for the current health care proposal that would slash Medicare funding by nearly half a trillion dollars and dramatically impact the care that so many seniors rely upon in their final years.
As our United States Senator, I'm confident Scott Brown will only support legislation that will benefit his constituents, and that is why I'll be voting for him on Tuesday.
That's pretty big.
Democrat mayor of Quincy, Massachusetts, endorsing Scott Brown.
And here's another Democrat sinking with the Obama Albatross, a new TV ad that Marcia Coakley is running.
Martha knows the struggles Massachusetts working families face because she's lived those struggles.
She's fought for the people of Massachusetts every single day.
As Attorney General, she took on Wall Street and recovered millions for Massachusetts taxpayers.
She did.
She went after big insurance companies, took on predatory lenders.
She did a part of Fulklands about every vote matters.
Every voice matters.
We need you on Tuesday.
I'm Martha Coakley, and I approve this message.
Now, what's the problem with that ad?
What's snerdly?
What's the problem with that ad?
You tell me right now.
Three, two, one.
What's the problem with the ad?
You don't.
What the problem with the ad is, is that people in Massachusetts do not hate the insurance companies right now.
The health care plan that they're saddled with there is not the fault of the insurance companies.
It was passed by the state government.
Obamacare is a mirror image of it.
And it costs more.
They don't hate Wall Street.
People in Massachusetts do not hate big oil.
People in America do not have the same enemies that Barack Obama has.
They simply don't.
The Democrat Party's number one enemy right now is you, the people, and the places where you work.
There's no other way to say this.
If you're an insurance agent, you're evil.
If you work on Wall Street at whatever job, you are in the crosshairs.
If you work at an oil company of any size, you're in the crosshairs.
If you work at a pharmaceutical company or a pharmacy, you are in the Democrat Party's crosshairs.
Everywhere you work, if you are in a small business, you are in the Democrat Party crosshairs.
Taxes are going to be increased.
Obama and the Democrats are targeting these businesses.
If you have a job, you are in the crosshairs of the Democrat Party.
And the people of Massachusetts have figured it out.
I'll tell you something else the Obama people want.
All of these 60s hippies, Obama has written about this in the Audacity of Hope, how he wanted to reverse what Reagan and his minions did.
Well, what that means is this.
They wanted a new depression to get back and expand the safety net, restore things to the status before Reagan and the Reagan Revolution.
Reagan trimmed the welfare role, slowed the growth of the welfare state.
And they didn't like that.
These people are all about expanding the welfare state, getting as many people as possible on the welfare state.
They need to give us a new depression, and they're in the process of doing it.
