The eviews expressed by the host on this program, sadly, I wish it's not the case, sadly, make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be.
Frankly, I wish the views expressed by the host of the show are echoed by everybody.
It'd be a better country.

Let's go to the audio soundbites.
First, Larry Sabateau was on America's newsroom yesterday with Martha McCallum, had this exchange about the Delaware race.
Christine O'Donnell, subject here, here's the exchange.
Rush Limbaugh speaking out in favor of Christine O'Donnell.
And then on the other side of the fence, you have Dick Army and Chris Christie, the governor from nearby New Jersey, backing Mike Castle.
And as you clearly point out, this is a question of maybe pragmatics versus ideology, but Christine O'Donnell might say, look, I surged in recent weeks.
Wait until you see what I can do if I get the nomination.
I'm going to turn the whole ballgame around.
I think you will see most nonpartisan analysts, if she wins a nomination, move that seat from leans Republican to leans or likely Democratic.
My point is, with Castle or a Democrat, it doesn't matter.
You're going to get the same votes.
You're going to get the same.
You're not going to get any fundamental change.
So, you know, voting for Castle is like voting for Biden, like voting for a Democrat.
This automatic seeding of the race, though, CED ING, automatically giving up just because Christine O'Donnell wins.
Yeah, Russia, 25 points down.
She can't make that up in this year.
Conservatism not worth fighting for?
With what's at stake here?
I guess it boils down to the fact that professional Washington just does not see this administration and the status of the country the way we outside Washington do.
Professional Washington, ruling class, whatever you want to call them, just they don't.
They don't see the country as founded on the precipice.
They don't see the country as founded on a cliff with Obama and the Democrats.
You know, we're in the car and Obama and the Democrats, they're shoving us off of it.
They don't look at it.
They don't see it that way.
They don't.
Nothing that could make them see it that way, I guess.
But we all do.
That's why there's a Tea Party.
There's why the Independents are surging away from Democrats in droves.
So Castle, Democrat.
Here's a statistic.
Now, in 2008, you could turn this around on me if you, well, I know some of Professional Washington thinks that the country's on the cliff if conservatives win.
I know even some people on our side do.
But that is because conservatives want to de-emphasize Washington in everybody's lives.
That's really the root of this.
People want to maintain Washington's prominence and power.
Energetic engagement, energetic aggressive executive, working benefit of the people and so forth.
The whole surmise is that people are incompetent, can't deal for themselves, and need an energetic, involved, engaged executive and the government to do all this.
Now, in 2008, Castle beat his Democrat opponent 61 to 38%.
Now, that was in an election in which the Democrats were winning in a landslide.
But there wasn't a real Republican in that race.
I mean, Castle's got an R by his.
There's no conservative.
There's no conservative in that race.
So Castle wins 61 to 38%.
Big whoop.
At this stage of the game, it's obvious to some of us that not every Republican is worth electing.
It's not about party loyalty here.
It's about ideological fortitude.
and belief.
That vote, that 61 to 38%, shows me there's room for conservative in that race.
I mean, O'Donnell didn't have to win by 30%.
She'd have to beat some no-name Democrat by 30%.
Why do we need Mike Castle in the Senate?
We already have Olympia Snow there.
We have Susan Collins.
We got enough Republicans willing to sabotage a conservative position.
Why do we need another one in there?
What's what we don't?
A vote for Castle, and this is true not just, I don't mean to focus on this Delaware race.
I'm focusing on it because it seems that so many conservative Republican media people have drawn a line in the sand on this race.
I don't know if you read the conservative blogosphere, but it's getting vicious out there.
I mean, the conservative bloggers fear for this race.
I got a note from one of them last morning.
I got back from my, I was minding my own business, bothering nobody except Hank Hanney on the golf course by not being able to follow through on his instructions.
I get back and I get this note about, well, where do you come down on this O'Donnell and Mike Castle race?
So I started looking into it and I was struck by the line in the sand that's been drawn by Republicans here against O'Donnell.
I said, okay, what's wrong with this?
Well, why is there such victory all aimed at this woman when Mike Castle voted for an investigation of Bush for impeachment?
When Mike Castle is akin to an Olympia Snow Susan Collins, I didn't understand it.
So more I read, the more I found out they didn't like her because she sued some think tank, because she's had problems with the IRS, which to me is a resume enhancement.
A lot of people had problems with the IRS.
That means she can relate to people.
Nobody with a clean and pure as the wind-driven snow passed.
So I started looking at this of what is the reason for the victory all here?
And then, because I thought, of all the people in the world for conservatives, start hitching their reputations to Mike Castle.
It didn't make any sense to me.
I mean, I know who Castle is.
And I, you know, I don't endorse people in primaries.
I don't get involved in this sort of because it's, I've told you why.
Politicians come and go.
I'm here forever.
I can't.
I'm not going to endorse somebody that might two weeks from now do something stupid that I'm going to have to explain when I have no control over what they're going to do.
So especially in primaries, but I was still curious why, I mean, there was real victory all aimed at Christine O'Donnell.
And I looked at it and I couldn't find one criticism of her on policy.
I couldn't find anybody questioning her legitimacy as a conservative.
I found people looking at her baggage, making fun of her for being a woman.
The machine is mad at her.
The Republican establishment is losing.
Like Bennett lost.
They're ticked off about that.
Murkowski lost, and Eras are ticked off about that.
And so this is the line.
And they're not going to let Castle lose.
The Republican Party's moving inner.
Look, these Tea Party people are taking out our chosen ones.
Murkowski, we're not going to let this happen.
Palin's taking them out.
Palin's endorsing everybody against us.
So Murkowski wins or loses.
Bennett lost.
I'll be damned if we're going to lose Castle, they said.
And I said, Well, why?
I always thought these people were conservatives like I am, but they're not conservatives like I am.
I always thought we're on the same team, but they're not, we're not, we're not on the same team, obviously.
Well, we're on the same team, but we got different strategeries as to how to win.
They're content to get to the Super Bowl.
I want to win it.
They're content to say that they got there.
So I kind of got into this late in the game because I was asked my thoughts on it.
And a reason, of course, I was asked my thoughts because, you know, I am the conservative godfather in a lot of people's minds.
So what I say, when I found out what I said, did not, by the way, I'm not the conservative godfather anymore.
What I said did not change any of these people's opinions.
So the line's been drawn.
It's clearly an establishment versus upstart mentality.
And I just take it back to Mr. Angelo Codevilla in his piece, The American Spectator, which has now been expanded to a book called The Ruling Class and the Country Class.
But I, you know, a vote for Mike Castle to me is not saying hell no to Obama and the Democrats.
And right now, that's all that matters to me.
Hell no.
Party of no, damn right.
We're the party of damn no.
We're the party of hell no.
We are the party that's going to save the United States of America.
We are the party that's not going to willingly participate in the upending of this nation as founded.
Now, that may happen, but it ain't going to happen with us.
We're not going to be on the side of people doing this.
And a vote for Mike Castle or Lisa Murkowski or Bennett or who any of these people in the Northeast, if the Republican Party is behind them, the odds are they're not conservatives.
And we need more Chris Shays in there.
Republican Party needs a presence in the Northeast.
The Republican Party needs liberalism on the run.
The Republican Party needs to recognize and get behind this conservative ascendancy.
The Republican Party, I told these people at the dinner party on Saturday, you know what amazes me?
We had two years, two terms of Ronaldos Magus, eight years of prosperity.
It launched 20 years, 25 years of prosperity after that.
We have had history lesson worldwide after history lesson domestic of the failures and the danger posed by liberalism, and yet we still don't see it.
We see people on our side, the era of Reagan is over.
As I said, Fidel Castro, Cuba firing 500,000 state workers.
There is no private sector for these people to get a job.
They're not going to get rice cookers.
They're going to get zilch.
What are they going to do?
Hello, boat lift number two.
What are they going to do?
Why doesn't Castro just raise taxes and increase spending like we're doing to come out of our economic problems?
Why doesn't Castro do that?
Why are not the prescriptions Obama's trying being tried by every other country in the world that's having trouble?
Why are we the only civilized country in the world willingly, knowingly going down the path of our own self-destruction?
The Germans are trying to stop themselves.
The Brits, God bless them, are trying to stop themselves.
It may be too late.
But a lot of Western Europe's trying to stop themselves.
Iran is nuking up.
And our country points fingers at Israel.
Come on, folks.
You know, this is not the ordinary run of the mill.
Yeah, the Democrats won the election and they get their nominees.
Here.
This is far more significant than that.
And the issue here is not preserving the Republican Party.
If the Republican Party is not interested in preserving the country, then what good is the Republican Party?
And if a Republican Party nationally does not see where we are as a country and where we're headed, what good are they?
It means their reason for winning is not the same as ours, is it?
We all like.
Well, that's what I've been saying.
Because I'll guarantee what's going to happen.
If all this stuff is going to lead to a third party, if the Republican Party doesn't get to, this is all going to lead to a third party.
And you know what's going to happen then?
The Republican Party is going to be the third party.
The Republican Party is going to be the minority party.
If a third party gets created, if this Tea Party bunch, whatever it is, if it leads to a third party, the present-day Republicans are going to be the one with 10%.
They're going to be the genuine third party.
We will be back after this.
And back we are, Rush Limboy, here on the cutting edge of societal evolution, as always, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Now, some things are simply no-brainers to me.
We've been talking about this.
If I'm deciding between a free market politician and one who believes in government command and control, it's a no-brainer.
It's a no-brainer.
I don't care if there's a Republican or Democrat behind their name.
You're not going to find a free market Democrat these days.
And even in the past, you might have been able to, but you're not going to find one today.
Well, here's a no-brainer when it comes to your car.
If you're considering two different shops for maintenance, with all things being equal, one has BG services, free lifetime protection coverage, the other doesn't, there's no question it's not a brainer.
BG, the best maintenance services for the entire drive-line fuel injection, cooling, and power steering system, keeps them running like new.
Best stuff there is.
You can't get it, though, is by walking into a shop.
It's so good, it can only be used by highly trained professionals.
When it's time for your next service, ask your serviceman if they carry BG.
And if they don't, go out somewhere, go to the website, and find a shop with BGFindashop.com.
Find the nearest maintenance shop that uses BG products.
Website, bgfindashop.com.
Free lifetime protection.

Stephen, Newark, Delaware.
I'm glad you waited.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
God bless you, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I've been listening to you since you had the show on when I was in middle school.
Truly a rush baby.
And I have to say, Castle lost my vote shortly after Obama won when the gasoline prices were going up and Congress was holding his feet to the fire about the offshore drilling.
Yep.
And I was waiting on him at a restaurant and I said, keep up the good work.
You Republicans are doing a good job.
He just huffed at me.
Wait a minute.
You were a waitress at a restaurant and Castle was in there.
Yep.
Delaware is a small state.
Anybody can win.
They can knock on all the doors between now and election.
Yeah, but wait a minute.
You said this in Congress, gasoline prices were going up.
Yes, right after Obama won, and the Republicans were giving the Democrats a hard time.
And so you, you, you, and Castle was doing the right thing, you thought?
Well, I thought he was.
I thought he was part of the Republican Party.
And when I told him to keep up the good work, you could just tell he just, you know, rolled his eyes and huffed.
He says, roll his eyes?
Yep.
How do you take that?
I'm not quite sure what happened here, so I'm trying to get you.
Well, I think the Northeast Republican parties got complacent when they were the majority.
And they relied on these old dinosaurs, these war horses.
And as they're slowly leaving the political arena, they're not replacing them.
There's no program to groom the next leadership.
So your point is, Delaware is a small state.
Delaware is a small state.
Did Castle roll his eyes at being complimented as a Republican?
Is that what he's rolling his eyes at?
Oh, he was embarrassed to be lumped with the Republicans doing a good job.
Yep.
That's what you meant.
Yep.
Oh.
And it was my last year of college.
I'm ready to jump in the scene.
Every time I hit the RNC up or the state party, they're tone deaf.
They don't listen to us.
That's too bad.
Well, interesting story.
I mean, it is, you know, Delaware only has, in Congress, Delaware only has one Republican.
That's how small it is.
The idea that somebody can't come back from 25 points down in that state is we're not talking California.
We have to go out and spend gazillions of dollars to reach one-tenth of the population.
Bill in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you're next.
EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
Congratulations on your reach and wedding, and thank you for taking my call.
Thank you, sir.
Listen, they keep saying that O'Donnell doesn't have a chance in the general.
She didn't have a chance in this primary, and she's going to win today.
And the other important fact is you need her in there now because she becomes a senator the very next day.
And that puts a nail in the coffin that the Democrats were getting anything through in a lame-duck Congress.
So that's just my comments.
All right.
That's your colour.
I appreciate him.
That's a good point.
At the outset of this, they said she couldn't win.
And just, was it yesterday or last night?
Yeah, it had to be yesterday, last night, Monday.
The Democrat polling firm out of North Carolina public policy polling shocked everybody.
O'Donnell's up by three.
First time she's taken a lead in the race.
In a race, this guy says she wasn't going to be able to win that one either.
And she may not win this today.
Who knows?
But it is a comeback.
Here's Bob in Knoxville, Maryland.
Rockville, Maryland.
You're great.
Next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I've listened for decades, called scores of time.
And wouldn't you know it, the first time I get through, I'm going to mildly disagree with you.
Was it about about what?
I do agree with the Limbaugh rule, and I followed it today when I cast my vote in the Maryland Republican gubernatorial primary.
Good for you, sir.
Good for you.
But I would hope that for Republicans who want to see the regime stifled and therefore want the largest possible Senate majority, the legitimate cases can be made for O'Donnell versus Castle without distorting the facts.
I agree with you that it's a matter of strategy.
What did I get wrong?
Well, Castle did not vote for Kucinich's impeachment proposal.
What he did vote for, as did other Republicans, including Peter King, for example, was to refer Kucinich's impeachment proposal to the Judiciary Committee, where it died a quiet death.
So, I mean, I think we can, I would hope, I don't know, I see things getting, as you said, it's getting more and more bitter on all this stuff going on in the internet.
And I think it's unnecessarily.
All I can tell you, he voted for the resolution to investigate Bush for the possibility of impeachment.
Hey, we're back, Rush Limbaugh, cutting edge.
Great to have you here.
We serve humanity simply by showing up.
All right, I see what's happening now.
Rush, you're going to be a little bit more accurate than you are here in Castle.
Hey, if Peter King did the same thing, they voted just to move it to the Judiciary Committee.
We're going to die.
It was called moving the ball in early May of 2007.
Representative Castle attended a meeting organized by Charlie Dent, Republican, Florida, between several moderate Republicans in the House and President Bush to express their concerns over the war in Iraq.
The group warned the president that his pursuit of the war in Iraq was risking the future of the Republican Party.
He could not count on Republican support for much longer.
Castle was already threatening Bush with the withdrawal of Republican support for the war effort.
Now, and Castle voted for the resolution.
Now, I said Delaware has only one Republican, probably, but they have one member of the House, one representative, got two senators, but they got one member of the House.
Just trying to illustrate how small the state is.
Some lead, however large, can be overcome.
Now, I would also make this argument about rhinos.
And I said earlier here that the problem with rhinos is that they confuse the electorate and they confuse the electorate over what conservatism is.
But rhinos are worse than run-of-the-mill Democrats.
A run-of-the-mill Democrat is the run-of-the-mill Democrat, but a Republican in name only, a Republican who votes with Democrats.
When you vote for terrible Democrat bills, all of a sudden you get this cover for bipartisanship.
And we all know that bipartisanship means compromising what we believe to go along with Democrats.
That's what a Mike Castle is.
That's what rhinos do.
They give cover to the whole concept of bipartisanship.
We don't need bipartisanship right now.
Bipartisanship is not on the agenda.
It's not part of the recipe to fix what's wrong.
It's not the other side's not interested in bipartisanship.
I mean, they may be now temporarily because it's election time and they realize they're saddled with a horrible agenda, some of the individual Democrats.
Obama's not interested in it, though, and that's all that matters.
Now, the Castle vote was to send the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee.
That's the process that moves the ball.
Castle voted to do that.
What's the controversy?
What is the misrepresentation?
Look, what we're trying to point out here is that for some reason, a line has been drawn here in this race by the professional Republican, so-called conservative Washington establishment.
They've lost Bennett, they lost Murkowski, and this is it.
They're not going to lose anymore.
They're pros.
This is about them.
It's not even about Castle, to tell you the truth.
It's about Castle protecting them or themselves protecting themselves by shoring up Castle.
Because O'Donnell's not one of them.
Palin's not one of them.
I'm not one of them.
It's very clear for anybody to see.
I'll tell you something else.
The same people who are telling us that Mike Castle is electable and Christine O'Donnell isn't, these are the same people that insisted only McCain could win in 2008.
Same people, same thinking, the same modus operandi.
Mike Castle is the only one that can win.
McCain, he's the only one that can win, Rush.
Romney can't win.
How come he can't win in a joint?
No, McCain's the only guy that has a possibility of winning.
That's why he has support McCain.
Well, we see how flawed that is.
Now, let me grab a quick phone call here.
People have been on hold waiting for quite a while.
You know, Arlen Specter, that gets Pat to me.
Arlen Spector, he's the only Republican that can win, Rush.
Blue State, Arlen Spector is the only one that can win, Rush.
Yeah.
To win, he had to become a Democrat.
That's what Castle ought to do.
Jennifer in Midland, Texas.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
It's great to speak to you, Rush.
Howdy from West Texas, land of the oil rig and the mesquite bush.
I'm so glad to talk to you about this today.
I'm very, very worried about what these Republicans are going to do to us when we put them back in power.
They may be slapping themselves on the back because they think that they've got all this momentum behind them.
They're the ones that ran the cart into the ditch to start with, and now the American citizenry pulled the cart out of the ditch, gave them a fighting chance, and now here we are.
Republicans, you mean?
Yes.
The Republicans are the ones that ran the cart into the ditch.
They ran their own cart into the ditch.
How?
What did they do?
Back during the Bush years, they were spending too much, and we call them calls.
Earmarks, earmarks, and all that.
Oh, yeah.
We said, no amnesty, no amnesty, none of this, none of that, no more spending.
We're going into debt.
You guys are forgetting your principles.
And we call them, and they just turned a deaf ear to us.
They learned that they didn't have to listen.
And then we got outraged.
We pulled together.
There's tea parties.
There's town hall meetings.
There's rallies.
There's this, there's that.
And we got a momentum going.
And now what are they going to do with it?
And I'll tell you what my fear is.
It's kind of like if you've got this precious new baby, and for whatever reason, you have to hand the baby to Uncle Lou.
You've got to give the baby to Uncle Lou and Uncle Lou drinks.
And you just have to keep saying, please don't drop the baby.
I'm afraid they're going to waste this opportunity, and then we're going to be right back where we started or worse.
Well, hard to imagine it being worse.
It can always get worse, right?
Well, I know they say that.
The direction we're headed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fully get your point.
At any rate, look, let me digest all of this because when you say the Republicans spent too much, I mean, I've got some retorts to that.
I've heard the old earmarks excuse, and there's no question to play the role, but don't forget earmarks alone were not enough to give the Democrats control of the House in 2006.
It's called Mark Foley.
If the Republicans were going to lose, the Democrats wouldn't need to spring Mark Foley and that garbage toward the end of the campaign.
Republicans, they had a Republican president at the time.
It's kind of like the Republicans in immigration.
You got a Republican president who's promoting all this stuff.
It's tough to mutiny against it.
There are mitigating circumstances, and I'm not making excuses for anybody.
I'm just trying to be accurate here in the historical record and recollection.
But it doesn't change the fact that a rhino is a rhino.
And it doesn't change the fact that rhinos are worse than Democrats because they create this silly notion of bipartisanship.
They give cover to Democrats.
We've been there.
We've done that.
Let me say, brief timeout.
We'll come back.
We will continue in your moments here on the EIB network.
Sit tight, don't go away.
And this is also predictable, but I'm going to stick with it.
People say, Russia, you got to be careful.
That caller.
That caller was right.
That caller was right.
You're a little bit off target here on Castle and impeachment.
He didn't vote for impeachment.
I didn't say he did.
I said he voted for a resolution written by Democrats to move it to the Judiciary Committee.
But Rush, but Rush, but Rush.
You don't understand.
That's how they killed it.
Everybody knew they were going to kill it.
Okay, fine.
Let's walk through this.
Because I don't want to get sidetracked here over what really we should be talking about.
We can understand why Peter King of Long Island, some conservatives might attempt a strategy in that impeachment resolution to kill it in committee.
We understand that.
But why is it assumed that that was Castle's strategy?
Castle had joined a bunch of moderate Republicans and gone up to the White House and threatened Bush over this.
Why is it assumed that Castle, given his statement that he and fellow brinos went up to warn Bush, they jeopardized the Republican Party over this, where is it automatically assumed that Castle had the same objective to kill the resolution?
I mean, how do we assume this?
You know, all the Democrats voted to kill a resolution too.
What was the purpose of this?
Now, we know that Kucinich came up with a resolution that he was running for president.
He wants to appease his base, and Wacko Fringe wants to impeach Bush.
So here comes little Kucinich, and he comes up with his resolution.
Fine.
Once that happens, a bunch of Democrats have to get on board and then secretly hope the thing gets killed.
So some Republicans thought, okay, here's how we'll get on board.
We'll kill it, Peter King and these guys.
But we're assuming that Castle was one of the people who were employing the same strategy of wanting to kill it when his statement to Bush, going to the White House, warning Bush, future Republican Party at stake, Mr. President, if you're doing this.
Ron Paul voted for it too.
Ron Paul voted for this resolution.
Why is this just coming out now?
Why are all these people who've been studying this race, Christine O'Donnell versus Mike Castle, when they're looking at Christine O'Donnell's personal matters, is suing a think tank, and she had problems with the IRS?
How come they didn't think to mention this Castle vote on sending the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee in the House?
I'm sure Castle would distance himself from it today if somebody goes up to him.
Did you really intend?
Of course not.
Hey, I want to impeach a president.
I knew I was going to, of course he would do that.
But what about at the time?
What was his motivation at the time?
We know by virtue of his vote, he votes for cap and trade.
I mean, We know he's a rhino.
Why is it that over 160 Republicans voted against it?
You can talk about all those Republicans who voted for the resolution, but 160 Republicans voted against it.
Castle happens to be one of the few who voted for it.
We are to believe here that Castle was standing up for Bush, that he was standing with conservatives, some grand strategy here to head off impeachment after he had met with other moderates and threatened Bush about the war.
Where's the proof of this?
My only point in bringing this up is we're making all these allegations about how rotten, stinking, rotten, incompetent, dishonest Christine O'Donnell is.
And we've put angel wings on Mike Castle.
Well, we haven't, but professional Republican establishment people have.
They put angel wings on him.
Castle not only voted for cap and trade, he promised Harry Reid he'll vote for cap and trade once he's elected to the Senate.
Cap and trade, folks, that's the next great encroachment on our freedom after healthcare.
That's like a VAT tax on every carbon granule of energy expended.
He's promised dingy Harry he'll vote for cap and trade once he's elected to the Senate.
This is the guy that professional Republicans say he's got to win if we have any choice, if we have any hope of being the majority in the Senate.
It's already promised Harry Reid, who may not even be there himself.
So Mike Castle already striking deals with Harry Reid instead of working with another Republican trying to defeat Harry Reid.
And who is it we're supporting here?
Not we, but the professional establishment.
Mike Billings, Montana.
Welcome, sir.
Rush Limbaugh Program.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm living proof that everything you said for the last two hours is absolutely, perfectly true.
I was elected, I ran in 92 when the Rush was right, bumper stickers were out.
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
So I went down and signed up to run against a 30-year Republican incumbent, and I lost my first election.
I was ostracized.
I was demonized by 40 votes.
So I ran against him again, and I won, and I was undefeated for 10 years.
And in those days, it was apathy and complacency, and I didn't know any better.
I was a Vietnam vet, et cetera, et cetera.
And I decided that if I wasn't part of the solution, I was part of the problem.
What do you mean you didn't know any better?
I didn't know politics.
I just had heard about them.
I just knew our state that I was born and raised in was going the wrong way.
And I decided that I'd get in the fight, just like I did when I decided to join the military.
And the establishment turned on me like I was a plague.
And that was too bad.
I let them throw their arrows and do their thing and whatever.
And then I started going to Pachyderm meetings and et cetera, et cetera.
And the next election I won, and I never lost one since.
And I voted for term limitations, and 10 years later, I accepted it gracefully, and I was glad I did.
And so you're out of there.
I'm out of there.
But I watch it happening to these newbies, people who are trying to come in and make a difference.
And it's tough, but they got to tough it up.
Well, I don't think there's any question about their toughness.
Well, I'm proud of the Tea Party.
I don't think there's any question about their toughness.
They're bringing in their rush and send out those Russia's Right bumper stickers.
Well, you know, they were so popular, we don't have any more.
Can I print some more?
Well, you've got to talk to our licensing division.
Okay.
Well, we'll give those things away.
Okay.
But anyway, I've seen it.
Every time I'd campaign door to door and I'd see one on the bumper sticker, I knew I wasn't going to get bit by the dog.
I appreciate that.
1992, Russia's Right bumper stickers.
You can still see them on cars.
Yep.
Because the economy is so bad, people haven't been able to trade them in since.
Okay, federal judge, I tried to print this out during the break and it crashed my web browser program.
So I don't have it in front of me, and I have just now restarted a web browser program, but the page didn't reload.
But a federal judge, where is this?
Let me just call up here real quickly.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pensacola federal judge says he likely will let go to trial portions of a lawsuit filed by Florida and 19 other states challenging Obamacare.
He's going to let it go to trial.
Now, he does say that as Judge Roger Vincent here, he said that he expects to dismiss other parts of the lawsuit.
He didn't specify which parts that he's going to drop.
So we don't know the commerce clause is the biggie here.
But he is going to let it think it's going to go to trial.
Which that's better than most people thought would happen in this, especially at the White House.
