Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I have a message for Scott Brown here.
Just a second, the senator from Massachusetts.
By the way, folks, I'm coming down with a bit of a head cold today.
Every time I give up tobacco products, it happens.
When I'm smoking cigars, I never ever got a cold.
I got the flu sometimes, but I never ever got a cold.
I could feel it.
I could feel it in the upper bronchial tract last night.
I woke up in bed with sore throat.
Now, I sound a little hoarse and coldy to me.
It won't sound that way to you because of the magic of compression of the broadcast.
What?
I do sound a little hoarse.
Well, but those people listening on the radio will not know it because of the magic of compression.
Anyway, we're here, 800-282-2882 is the number and the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com.
Did you see $950,000?
Christine O'Donnell started the day yesterday with what, 50?
She started the day with $50,000 yesterday.
Right before the broadcast started today, she's at $950,000 in internet website donations.
She's going to go over a million dollars today, probably the next couple of minutes or so.
And it was fascinating.
This was started yesterday when the NR, the Republican Senatorial Committee, the news was out that they weren't going to support her.
She was on her own.
I said, okay, fine.
Everybody in this audience has sent her a dollar.
That's all I said.
And you couldn't get on the website for a while.
We crashed it, couldn't get in.
$950,000.
Ras Musen has her down 11.
I thought she was down 25.
I thought she couldn't win.
She's down 11 points.
Now, given the vicious attacks on O'Donnell by the partisan political operatives in the media and the partisan political operatives on the Republican Party side, and given the supposedly overwhelming liberal mindset of Delaware voters, how is it possible Christine O'Donnell is this close?
She's only 11 points down.
I'm going to tell you what the campaign against her is going to be.
I can tell you right now, I'll get to it in just a second.
I know exactly what they're going to do.
I know these people because I know their playbook.
Look at me as a defensive coordinator of the conservative movement.
I know exactly what these clowns are going to do.
I know how to game plan for them.
They're basically going to go after social issues.
They're going to say that Christine O'Donnell represents the new Republican Party, wants to take away your Social Security.
Watch.
You watch.
That's all they got to do.
Republicans want to take away your Social Security and make sure that you can't have abortions.
That may even go out there and say that Christine O'Donnell is against masturbation.
Who knows?
But it's going to focus on social issues.
Because that's where they think that they're going to pick up moderate Republicans and independent Republicans who don't like the moral majority people that are in the conservative movement.
Now, there was a piece, the attack, an attack on Jim Dement in, what is it, Politico, because Dement was one of the first to endorse Christine O'Donnell.
So, of course, the long knives are coming out.
And in this story, listen to this.
Behind closed doors Wednesday, Republican senators tried to assess the damage.
Several senators at the lunch, including Scott Brown of Massachusetts, raised concerns that the party has sent a message that it has no room for moderates, even from the left-leaning states, according to people familiar with the exchanges.
Others expressed frustration that the Republican Party, the GOP, had essentially given away a pivotal seat that Mike Castle could have won.
Now, notice, this is political.
Let's assume the reporting here is accurate.
Let's just, we'll take it here that Brown said what he said.
Oh, my God!
My God, no more room for moderates in the Senate.
No more room for moderates in the Republican Party.
And frustration, the Republican Party had essentially given away a pivotal seat that Castle could have won.
Look at how parochial these guys are.
There's no reporting of their concern for the country's future.
There's no reporting of these Republican senators talking about the threat that the Obama agenda poses to the country.
All of this incessant bankrupt spending.
Now, they may have talked about it, but it certainly isn't reported.
What's reported is that these guys are going, oh, woe is us.
Oh, woe is us.
Could have had a castle seat, could have won it.
Could have been a contender.
And Scott Brown going on and on, oh, there's no, oh, no more room for money.
Mr. Brown, let me tell you something.
Look around you in the Senate.
You are surrounded by moderate Republicans, Mr. Brown.
You're surrounded by them.
Not only where you live, but in the Senate.
Surrounded by them.
You got moderate Republicans in Maine.
After this election, you're still going to be surrounded by moderate Republicans in the Senate.
What are you talking about?
No more room for moderate Republicans in the Senate?
The question is whether there's room for Reagan conservatives anymore in the Republican Party.
That's the question.
That's what this is all about.
And these guys are whining and moaning already.
Oh, my God.
It may not be any room for moderates.
They're crying out loud.
We're surrounded by them in the U.S. Senate.
By the way, Mr. Brown, with all due respect, if it weren't for conservatives and Tea Party activists nationwide raising money for you, you wouldn't be in the Senate.
What is this?
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh, there's not enough room for money.
Plenty of them.
It's Reagan conservatives that are the target here.
Jonathan Chait.
Let me find it.
Jonathan Chait is a hate merchant.
I mean, Jonathan Chait, he's a new Republic.
He wrote a piece, Why I Hate George W. Bush, some years ago.
I mean, he was lauded for it.
But let me find, yes.
Here's what Jonathan Chait wrote, a blog post of the New Republic.
Now, comma, most elite Republicans understand that the red meat fed to the base isn't exactly right.
It's useful to scare the daylights out of the activists in the base.
But writers for the Weekly Standard, a Wall Street Journal editorial page, and National Review understand that freedom, as most people understand the term, is not really at risk here.
The Republican elite understands as well that politics is a little more complicated than if Republicans stay true to conservatism, they can't lose.
But the conservative base is not in on the joke.
And so Republican elites found themselves with just a few frantic days to undo the toxic and intoxicating effects of 20 months of relentless propaganda.
Vote for the man who compromised with evil.
A true conservative can't always win.
They can't do it.
I won't say the Republican base strategy has been a total failure, but it's nice to see it blow up in the face of the establishment from time to time.
Now, let me translate this for you.
This is ruling class talk.
Jonathan Chait, New Republic, hate merchant, big lib, is winking at us.
He's saying, look, these guys, you know, our counterparts over at the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Weekly Standard National Review.
And, you know, all these conservatives, these Republicans, they understand that this, we're not, there's no freedom at risk here.
Obama's not destroying the country.
They know this, but their base has to be indulged.
The fringe kook conservative base, which feels that the freedom is threatened.
And Obama's destroying the country.
The Republicans, regretfully, understand they have to indulge and entertain that base.
And so they throw us a bone now and then.
And then sometimes they go too far, and one of their fringe kooks actually wins something, as in Christine O'Donnell.
And Chase happy to see the guys at the Wall Street Journal, a national review, and the Weekly Standard have it thrown in their face.
So they're all in on the gig, see?
They're all in on the joke.
All these inside-about way people, look, those stupid Americans, those stupid right-wingers, those extremist kooks, they really think freedom's threatened.
They really think Obama wants to take away freedom.
They really think, ha, what a bunch of rubes.
And our friends over on the Republican media side, they got to indulge it.
I mean, that's their audience.
That's their subscribers.
That's people that donate.
So, yeah, they got to write pieces now and then that entertain these yokels like us, folks.
But at the end of the day, it's all hocus-pocus.
The Republicans know that freedom is not threatened and Obama's not destroying anything.
And it's, you know, it's just, but we love seeing the Republicans have it blow up in their face now and then.
And then Mike Murphy.
Mike Murphy, who is a Republican campaign consultant.
I think at one point he worked for McCain.
He describes himself as a conservative.
You've seen him on television.
He's a ruling class guy.
He was a Republican consultant.
But let's see, he have the right stack here.
Let me find out after the break.
Mike Murphy is basically saying, all right, fine.
You guys think that she can win?
Do you think this woman, let me try this other stack here?
Got to find it in here someplace.
Oh, by the way, did you know that Mike Castle called Obama or the other way around?
Mike Castle talked with Obama and Biden last night.
He still hasn't called Christine O'Donnell, but he talked.
Yeah, Michelle Maulkin, it's been 24 hours since Christine O'Donnell dethroned George Soros, Republican incumbent Mike Castle, as of tonight, still had in place an obligatory call to congratulate her.
Even more intriguingly, the paper, the Delaware News Journal, tweets that Castle's lines of communication worked quite smoothly when he took calls from President Obama and Vice President Joe Bite Me.
So he's talked to Obama and Bite Me, but he hasn't and they called him.
They called him.
They called Mike Castle a commiserate.
Oh, we could have made beautiful music together, Mike.
Having you with us on cap and trade and amnesty for illegals and so forth.
We're sorry it didn't work out.
But you know, sometimes you Republicans, you got to entertain your base out there.
They really think I want to take away your freedom.
Here's Mike Murphy, Civil War at the GOP.
He's got a peacemaker proposal.
So I must say, speaking only for myself, that I'm not thrilled by the Delaware result.
I'm a conservative, but I can do basic math.
To me, the whole thing looks like it came right out of Harry Reed's Dream Journal.
I think the primary voters decided, and it is their decision to make, to toss away a sure thing Republican Senate pickup for, well, I'm not sure what.
I can say that with a GOP majority now a longer shot, heads are exploding throughout the Republican Senate caucus.
And they are, if the political story is right.
That said, let me make a suggestion, Mr. Murphy writes, to the snarling combatants in the GOP's looming civil war.
Let's settle the argument once and for all.
I think the architects of the O'Donnell puts, namely South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin, should both temporarily move to Delaware full-time and personally lead the O'Donnell campaign.
Control it, direct it, and own it.
Show these Georgetown cocktail party addicted and hapless Republican establishment types how it's really done.
I got my notebook out.
I'm ready to learn.
Call me a peacemaker.
So here's Murphy, who also feels personally affronted.
He feels personally insulted by O'Donnell's victory.
It was a sure thing for Castle, but now they can't wash.
Okay, okay, you guys know more than we do.
You conservatives know more than we professionals.
You conservatives know more than we inside the Beltway ruling class.
Okay, Dement, Palin, move to Delaware.
You run the campaign.
If we're so out of touch with America, you show us how it's done.
That's Mike Murphy.
That is one of our guys.
That is one of our guys.
Okay, Palin.
Okay, Dement.
Get yourselves to Delaware.
I'll sit here in my cocktail party.
Apparently, that really bugs these people when you tell them they're trying to get their invitation lists for the cocktail parties maintained and shorn up.
Anyway, so there you have it.
Jonathan Chait, hey, you know, Weekly Standard National Review, Wall Street Journal.
They know, they know freedoms.
It's not at stay.
They know their freedom, as we know, is not going to be lost.
But they also know they got to entertain their kooks.
How come you're not coming after me?
Well, who?
You mean why these why?
Oh, well, because I'm probably not mentioning their names personally.
You know, I just refer to it as the pseudo-GOP intellectual media bunch.
I don't name names.
I don't know why.
Look, you know they hate me.
At any rate, look, we got to take a little break here, folks.
The Associated Press is begging the Democrats to extend tax cuts for the rich.
The AP is begging.
They've even gone out and they've taken a poll that shows that most Americans want the rich to have tax cuts.
And the AP is trying to advise the White House here: don't screw this up.
Do not raise taxes on anybody.
Our future's at stake.
Our credibility.
At any rate, lots to do on the program.
Your phone calls as well.
Sit tight.
Oh, Mike Castle blaming me and Hannity for the loss.
Grab number four.
Now, let it go to the break.
I'll do a program host discipline here.
We'll get to it.
We come back.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Fastest three hours in media, fastest week in media.
Here's Mike Castle.
Yesterday, Washington on Capitol Hill is during an interview with an unidentified Fox News reporter and Castle explaining why he lost.
I think the misrepresentations, the lies of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh on the air were another very significant part of all of this.
I think some of the misrepresentations in my opponent's race were a part of it as well.
How they ever came up with the theory I voted to impeach George Bush, I'll never know.
I mean, that was the news for a couple days right around the election time by, I think, Mr. Limbaugh.
But those are the kinds of things that make politics very difficult.
Yeah, the problem is I never said it.
You know what happened during that period of time on the program when I was discussing this?
I got an email from a very prominent Republican saying, look, I don't know what you're saying, but Bush 43's office phones are ringing off the hook saying that Castle voted to impeach him.
And Bush doesn't like it.
I said, I didn't say that Castle voted to impeach Bush.
What I said was that Castle voted to move the Kucinich resolution for impeachment to the Judiciary Committee, which was run by John Conyers, who was calling for Bush's impeachment.
I also mentioned that the strategy was to move it to the look, the Democrats had to do it because their base was freaking out and Kucinich was freaking out.
So they had to entertain Kucinich, just like Chait says we have to be throwing bones now and then.
Well, the Democrats had to throw a little Kucinich a bone and the Daily Koz kooks a bone and pretend they're going to impeach Bush.
So they let Kucinich write a resolution.
They're going to send a judiciary committee.
Conyers runs it where they're going to kill it.
The thing is, Mike Castle voted for it.
He voted to move the resolution.
Now, you didn't have to vote for it.
It was going to die anyway.
160 Democrats voted for the Kucinich resolution that was moved to the Judiciary Committee.
A lot of Republicans did not vote for it, but Castle did.
Castle voted to move the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, which is the process for getting the impeachment ball rolling.
Nobody wanted to do it.
The Democrats didn't want to impeach Bush.
They didn't want to get rid of the target, the target-rich environment out there.
They didn't want to do that.
They wanted Bush there.
Bush's approval numbers at 25% or whatever it was.
I mean, even the main site behind this resolution, the impeach Bush site, said that if it did not get moved to the Judiciary Committee, it would have gone to a floor vote where it would have lost by a laughably large number.
Going to the Judiciary Committee gave them hope.
Only 24 Republicans voted for this thing, and Castle was one of them.
Now, did the other Republicans want Bush to be impeached?
A lot of people, when these things come up, things like this, some of these people look at it.
You've got to vote the way your constituents.
He didn't have to vote for this thing.
Now he's out there saying, I said he voted to impeach Bush.
He doesn't understand it.
Well, because I didn't say it.
But stop and think of this.
I'm sitting here minding my own business doing this program.
While that's happening, I'm getting an email from somebody close to Bush 43 saying, look, I don't know what you're doing with Bush's office is getting reamed here saying Castle voted to impeach.
Well, I said, I didn't say that.
Anyway, we're striking nerves practically every segment on this program this week.
Heisley Brothers in fight to power and the bumper music rotation are from Politico.
Democrats may make O'Donnell an issue.
Results of a series of brutal Republican primaries present embattled Democrats with an opportunity, but also a balancing act.
While they're eager to highlight some of the views of the Tea Party back candidates who have emerged, especially Christine O'Donnell, they're in the midst of a new attempt to paint a broad national contrast with the Republican economic policy and fear that message could be diluted.
Democrat National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, the I, say, yeah, it's a little bit a matter of which ammo you use.
There's a couple of different ways to go.
It's all elements of painting the same choice.
But many of the candidates' vulnerabilities aren't on straightforward economic issues.
O'Donnell's greatest problem may be her trail of debt and lawsuits.
Attention was on display Wednesday within Kane's own DNC, which after days of promising a laser-like focus on John Boehner and his support for extending tax cuts for the rich, and they got sidetracked here thinking they have to go after O'Donnell.
Now, here's what's going to happen.
I'm the defensive coordinator here for our side.
The media, as you well know, will be right in there helping a Democrat Party's national messaging.
And what they're going to say is that the Republicans are a party full of Christine O'Donnell's.
And there's no room for moderates anymore in the Republican Party.
This is what her election means.
And they're going to quote Scott Brown from the political story, lamenting, oh, no, no more room for moderates in the Republican Party.
Then they're going to say that Christine O'Donnell and the Republicans want to take away your social security.
And they're going to really hyper up the social issues side.
The implicit message will be the Republicans are about to elect a slate of hard social rightists.
I mean big-time moralists to the Congress.
You can find this in the Atlantic magazine, Mark Ambinder.
It's what they're going to do.
A liberal journalist here is admitting media bias, admitting that the media is going to join the Democrat Party in this.
And the way they're going to go about this is just to go back to page 35 of the playbook.
Republicans going to take away your social security, and a bunch of moral majority type people are going to end up running around.
And you're not going to be able to masturbate.
You're not going to be able to have adoption or whatever.
They're going to go after you left and right on this.
That's what they're going to do.
Mark my words.
Almost half the country, this is AP, almost half the country opposes tax increases for the richest Americans, according to a poll suggesting that congressional Democrats are taking some risk by backing Obama's plan to boost taxes on the wealthy.
Now, this, folks, this is a profound thing.
We're getting a very different tune here from the AP.
This is the AP begging the Democrats to extend tax cuts for the rich.
It went out and did a poll.
Half the country is against raising taxes on the rich.
Now, this is a stunning thing to read in an article in the Associated Press.
This shows just how worried the media complex is about the prospect of their Democrat masters losing control in Washington.
Really, what this is all about.
They're going out, they're doing these polls, and they're finding out that, you know, these guys, American people, they don't want the rich taxed.
They're trying to send a message to the Democrats.
Apparently, the AP is so worried, they're even willing to push for tax cuts for the rich if it'll help the Democrats at the polls.
This is near heresy.
They're so concerned out there, they are even willing to drop their class warfare for a day and tell the truth about all this.
Listen to this: less than 50 days from elections that Republicans hope will land them in control of the Congress, the APGFK poll is stuffed with encouraging signs for the Republicans.
Huge majorities call the economy sickly, say Congress is doing its job badly.
By 46% to 41% margin, people want Republicans steering the economy to first Republican edge on that runaway number one concern of voters in the APGFK poll ever.
And while Americans are evenly split over whether they prefer their district's Democrat or GOP candidate, those likeliest to vote tilt toward the Republicans 53 to 40.
By the way, the enthusiasm gap here is huge.
Even Michael Barone writing about it, the enthusiasm for Republican voters, it's always up for the party out of power in midterm elections.
They've never seen anything like this.
The enthusiasm Republican voters have.
And they're hoping Obama go out there and do something to gin up identical enthusiasm on the left.
But those days are over.
People are abandoning Obama.
There's nothing he can do.
He can't go back and recapture this spirit that he had prior to being emaculated.
He can't do it.
So now this is, I'm telling you, when the AP comes out and says, warning, warning, you better support tax cuts for the rich.
That means they now really, really worried that all this polling data, that the Democrats are going to lose control in both houses, is accurate.
Now, I mentioned the other day that we're losing the language.
And this tax cut issue provides me an excellent illustration, a teachable moment as to how we're losing the language.
In the news, and in this AP story that I just put to the bottom of the stack here, I mean, look what's in the headline.
Nearly half oppose tax hikes for rich.
Tax increases go through the tax increases, tax increases, tax increases, tax increases.
And these tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts.
So in the news, we're debating tax cuts.
In the real world, in real English, the issue is not tax cuts, but tax increases.
We have the tax code is what it is.
The income tax rates are what they are, and they are current, and they are in the tax code.
If those tax rates expire and we go to what the rates were prior to their imposition, that what we have is a tax increase.
And yet the media is joining Obama in his incessant call for tax cuts for the middle class.
Obama is going to cut nobody's taxes.
If he goes along with this notion of not having the Bush tax cuts expire, we're just leaving the tax code as it is.
Nobody's taxes are going to get cut.
But Obama wants credit for cutting taxes, and the media is trying to help him do that.
The left is saying they want to cut taxes for the middle class, but they're not offering tax cuts in real English.
What they're saying is they don't want to raise taxes on the middle class right now.
Right now.
till after the election.
So in their own words, will rates go down next year?
No, the rates are going to stay the same.
If nothing is done, the rates will stay the same.
There are no tax cuts on the table here, folks.
If you hear the media talking about Obama's tax cuts, Democrats working hard to secure tax cuts for the middle class, no such thing being contemplated.
There is no tax cut on anybody's table right now.
All that's on the table is letting the current rates not expire.
And if the current rates do expire on anybody, the old rates, which are higher, are going to affect you've got a tax increase.
We are effectively talking about whether or not to increase taxes.
Nobody is talking about cutting them except us.
I, you, me, all of us know that we've got to cut taxes further and we've got to target the private sector and get out of its way, get the obstacles and restrictions out of its way.
Get rid of the capital gains tax for a period of time, reduce the corporate tax down to 20% or whatever, and lower people's taxes.
You know, we keep hearing about the American people have to sacrifice.
Tough times like this.
Well, the American people, what the hell is 10% unemployment for crying out loud.
The American people are sacrificing.
You know who doesn't sacrifice?
You know what the greatest repository of greed in the world is?
Is in Washington, D.C., and everybody who lives off the pile of money that piles in there every day.
The greed is on every elected official.
The greed is in every bureaucracy.
The greed is in the Oval Office.
The one bunch that never, ever sacrifice is Washington.
Never.
And it's time they sacrifice.
It's time the American people were allowed to keep more of what they earn so there's an incentive to go out and work and earn.
But nobody's talking tax cuts, but they want you to believe that Obama is going to cut taxes on the middle class.
He's not going to do anything of the sort.
Tax cuts to Obama is like the cross to Dracula.
So this is an illustration of how we are losing the language.
Is the capital gains tax rate going to go down?
No.
Will the dividend tax rate go down?
No.
All these are going up.
All of these rates are increasing.
Nothing's going down.
And yet, you can't escape Obama tax cuts middle class.
This is how we've lost the language.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
We'll continue with much more right after this.
And we're back.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone starting a million conversations with mind over chatter.
Certainly, you asked me earlier, these Republican consultants, campaign consultants, and Democratic campaign consultants.
You asked me, what did you ask for?
They hate me?
Yeah, he asked me, why aren't they coming after me?
I said they hate me.
The real answer to this is they just pretend I'm not here.
They just pretend I don't exist.
It's easier that way.
You know, Zev Chaffetz's book on me, the autobiography, the biography, Party of One.
The National Review didn't review it.
Weekly Standard didn't review it.
Mike Murphy didn't review it.
Scott Brown didn't review it.
The Wall Street Journal didn't review it.
I mean, they just pretend I'm not here.
They just pretend I don't exist.
I think that's how they deal with it.
Well, Castle knows I exist, but that's only because, well, they all know I exist.
That's why I say they're pretending.
Carol, San Antonio, Texas, great to have you on the Russian Blood program.
Hi.
Hey, how are you doing?
My comment was that I think it's a lot bigger than anti-establishment that's going on on both sides.
I think what's really going on is that the American people, not directly knowing, but they are rejecting Keynesianism because Keynesianism prevails in D.C. because it is an economic mindset that allows for the growth of government on both sides.
But Keynesianism doesn't really work with us regular folk out here.
We can't spend more than we take in.
We can't borrow anything.
You know something, Carol.
I think you have, for a caller, you've come close to hitting a bullseye today.
Daniel Henninger in the Wall Street Journal today, his column is, it's the spending.
That's what Carol means here by Keynesian.
Keynesian economic theory is spend, spend, spend.
Government spend.
That's how you stimulate a stagnant economy.
Spend, spend, spend, and spend some more.
This is more control, command control economy.
You spend money on a stimulus if it doesn't work.
You didn't spend enough.
You just spend, spend, spend.
And Henninger points out, and Carol pointing out here, the American people, they may not know Keynesian.
Some of them might pronounce it Keynesian if they saw it written, but they know what it is, spending.
And they know that it's out of control, and they know it's destroying the future for their kids and grandkids.
They know at some point some of this is going to have to be paid back.
They know it.
It is the spending.
And they also understand that because of all this debt that's being racked up, that freedom is imperiled as a result of it.
But even without that, how can these intelligentsia suggest that freedom is not really at risk here after they've read Obamacare?
I mean, just today, just today, New York City has announced further places you cannot smoke.
You can't smoke in a park.
And they're all outdoor places.
You can't smoke in a park.
You can't smoke at the beach.
You can't smoke wherever.
It'd be easier for New York City to publish a list of where you can smoke.
It'd take one page.
Now, we're talking about a legal product.
We're talking about a product whose taxes fund health care for the children.
And here's the do-gooder nanny governor, mayor.
Can't smoke it here, can't smoke it there, can't smoke over there.
This is not incidental.
This is not insignificant.
It's a legal product.
And yet they're telling us what we can't do and can't use it, where we can't use it.
And of course, a lot of non-smokers will go along with it.
Oh, yeah, because they hate smokers.
I can prove it by lighting up.
Well, I don't light up, just using one of my e-cigarettes in a bar, in an elevator.
You ought to see the panic.
It's fun.
Bring out the e-cig.
And people just freak.
I told you about over in Hawaii.
Bar manager came up.
Mr. Limbo, smoking not allowed.
I know you're not.
I'm not smoking.
It's an e-cigarette.
Look at his water vapor and I blew it in his face.
That smells like vanilla.
He said, That's right.
Oh, Mr. Lee came back later.
Mr. Limbo, people don't like the sight of it.
It's making them uncomfortable watching you pretend.
Well, I said, this is their problem.
I'm not hurting anybody.
Why don't you go tell them to move?
Don't tell me we are not losing our freedoms.
Don't tell me this is some abstract concept.
Go read the health care bill.
Obamacare.
Go look at the financial regulatory reform bill.
Go look at all of, folks, I mean, I joke about this, but I can't turn on outdoor lights eight months a year on property I own because state and county ordinances, which are multiple, threaten me with fines and imprisonment.
