Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Try that yourself.
I'm Rush Limboard.
This is the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
Great to be with you.
It's always a thrill, always an honor, always a delight.
Our phone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
You know, so I knew.
I knew that the Philadelphia Eagles fans were going to give Donovan McNabb a standing O. I just knew it was going to happen.
I just in fact I was on Friday afternoon on this program.
I was actually going to suggest I was going to ask him to do that.
I was going to suggest that they do it.
But I didn't, as you remember.
I didn't say anything about it.
But I'm not surprised at all that they did.
I mean, it's just it was the classy thing to do.
And they were, you know, McNam.
Yeah.
That's not a surprise that they did some.
No, it's not.
It's not a surprise at all.
I've I've, you know, the conventional wisdom was they were gonna boo.
Every sports writer in the world told you they're gonna boo.
That should have told you they weren't gonna boo.
Should have told you they were gonna do just the opposite.
So um anyway, for you Eagles fans of the Hamlet Heard, Vic has some uh some injured rib cartilage day to day.
Don't know how bad it is, the ribs aren't broken, but uh oh Sean McCoy is it his name, does have a broken rib out there, but Vic day to day we'll see.
Elena Kagan, you know, the newest Supreme Court uh justice, she's going to have to recuse herself.
She is recusing herself twenty-five of the first fifty-one cases that the court has accepted this term, recusing herself over half of them.
The um recruisals, uh recusals, it says here one Washington Post, or one measure of how integral the SG is to the court's workings.
Much of the court's caseload comes from challenges to federal statutes or government policies that the solicitor general ESG must defend.
The court also often asks for the government's view on whether a case is ripe for review.
So basically, she's a non factor for half of the cases.
Not a big deal.
I mean, I'm not saying it mitigates her being confirmed, still a bad deal to have her on the court.
She's not a jurist, she's not a judge, she's a liberal activist.
She uh she is Obama.
I'm surprised she's recusing herself.
I'm I'm surprised she's gonna go ahead and do that.
I mean, what the hell?
Rules?
This is about taking over the country.
Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Weissman, Obama likely to scale back legislative plans.
In new political landscape, incremental approach is in works to get support for some proposals on energy and immigration.
I don't believe this for a moment.
President Obama facing at best narrower Democrat majorities in Congress next year is likely to break up his remaining legislative priorities into smaller bites in hopes of securing at least some piecemeal proposals on energy climate change immigration and terrorism policy.
White House officials say.
In a series of recent campaign appearances, Obama has talked up the stakes in November as he seeks to energize supporters and retain Democrat control of Congress.
At the same time, White House officials have begun revamping their legislative strategies.
They're talking about a new, more incremental approach championed by former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who, by the way, already running for governor in Chicago.
Mayor, already running for mayor.
He got off the, wherever he got off of, and he's already starting to run around neighborhoods.
In fact, he produced a video in Washington, made to look like Chicago, to announce his intentions.
But I, this is a feint, this is, This is a head fake.
No way Obama.
This this is a takeoff on how Clinton supposedly triangulated after 94.
Obama is not Clinton.
Obama's not gonna slow down.
Obama's not gonna moderate.
He's not gonna go incremental.
He's not gonna try to get amnesty done in piecemeal fashion.
He's gonna Amnesty's kind of gonna try to get done without legislation.
Amnesty is gonna try to get done with uh some combination of executive orders and others, or other executive uh actions.
Well, no, it doesn't concede that the Democrats are losing.
It says here at best facing narrower Democrat majorities.
Now, the New York Times is out with a piece yesterday saying that Republicans are saying it this is no way guaranteed shot that we pick up the House.
Republicans.
This also happened in 1994, by the way.
People have gone back and looked at it.
But this is this is misdirection.
This is like play action.
I mean, this is a giant fake, both of these stories.
Boehner is happy, he says, that the New York Times story is out.
Um I everybody's talking about complacency on the Republican side.
I don't think that's the Tea Party's not going to be complacent.
Tea Party voters can't wait if they're going to wish the election were tomorrow.
Nobody's going to get overconfident here and and not show up thinking that their vote's going to be taken care of by somebody else who does show up.
I just don't think for a moment that Obama is going to go incremental.
I'm going to go peddle the metal.
If my theory is right, he has to go peddle the metal.
He has to go pedal the metal and have a Republicans say no, no, no, no, no, so that he can paint them as the extruptionists and obstructionists and run against them in uh in 2012.
How about that pre-existing condition for your health care?
Boy, it's not looking good out there.
You want to keep your doctor?
You can't.
And now this is by Ricardo Alonso Saldiboter of the Associated Press.
It's a centerpiece of Obama's health care remake, a lifeline available right now to vulnerable people whose medical problems have made them uninsurable.
But the pre-existing condition insurance plan that started this summer is not living up to expectations.
Enrollment lags in many parts of the country.
People who could benefit may not be able to afford the premiums.
Some state officials who run their own high-risk pools have pointed out potential problems.
California, which has money for about 20,000 people, has received fewer than 450 applications.
The program in Texas had enrolled about 200 by early September.
In Wisconsin, Goldman said that they've received fewer than 300 applications so far, with room for about 8,000 people in the program.
This is not how it was supposed to work.
I mean, these programs were supposed to be completely full.
Government economists projected as recently as April that 375,000 people would gain coverage this year, and they questioned whether $5 billion allocated to the program would be enough.
The federal risk pool has definitely provided critical access, in some cases life-saving access to health insurance, said Arnie Goldman, the chair of a national association of state high-risk insurance pools.
But that said, enrollments far lower than we would have expected.
And you know why?
Because it turns out it isn't free.
People are showing up, and they believed that getting insurance for pre-existing conditions now is going to be permitted.
Of course, it really isn't insurance.
It's welfare.
If we're going to be honest about terminology, if you don't have any coverage, and all of a sudden you come down with a disease, and then you go get insurance, what you're buying is not insurance.
You're buying welfare.
And even at that, people can't afford the premiums of Obamacare on these pre-existing condition plans.
Yeah, it was supposed to be free.
Here, toward the end of the story, when it explains why all of this under enrollment.
You have to go down to the end of the story.
Premiums may be out of reach.
In many states, people in their 40s and 50s face monthly premiums ranging from 400 to $600 and higher.
They thought it was going to be free.
Don't laugh.
They did.
A lot of people thought all this is going to be free and rolling their kids.
Up to age 26 thought it was going to be free.
This is how the Democrats promoted it.
Just like free houses.
Just except this one's on this one's on fire.
Exactly right.
They let it be assumed that this was going to be paid for by a couple millionaires.
Obama is up there saying the average premium is going to go down $2,500 a year.
Nobody will be denied coverage.
You'll be able to keep your own doctor.
None of it.
Nobody will be denied coverage except if you deny yourself because all of a sudden you can't afford what you thought was going to be free.
Your guiding light.
The trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, implosions, explosions.
And yes, even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh.
And to the phones we go to Frederick, Maryland.
This is Lorna.
And it's great to have you on the program.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
Good.
Congratulations on your marriage.
And I've listened to you since you were on TV.
Now I'm giving away my age.
Well, mine too.
That goes back to 1992, 94, somewhere around there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've learned a lot from you.
Learned a lot.
But I just wanted to share my family.
We sat, we watched the Family Guy last night.
Um enjoy Nancy Pelosi in our office there, and uh the erotic thing with Barney Frank.
And um I uh interesting fact, my son who's just thirteen, but he's very wise for his age.
Um, at the end of the show, when you were flying out and it turned into the eagle and ended the show, he looked at us and he said, they should have had two right wings on the eagle.
That's cute.
That's but um one thing I wanted to share earlier in the show, you were talking about racist and who was racist, the thirty-one percent or the ninety-one percent.
Yeah.
Um again, my son who's um very much uh could have a political future, you never know, but he was at school in middle school, and you know how much education you get, especially about history in middle school.
And um he they had a discussion, I guess, on President uh Barack Obama, and uh he raised some questions, and apparently um a couple Afro African American kids said to him, Well, you don't like President Obama, you're a racist.
And my son turned to them and he said, just because I don't like President Obama does not make me a racist.
So I thought, you know, good for him.
It's pretty good for him at age 13 to have that kind of presence in mind, but this is all predictable.
It was I, your host, El Rushbow, when back back when so many people thought that the election of the first black president would end racism, bring about uh harmony and so forth.
I said, folks, it's only gonna make it worse.
Any criticism of a guy is going to be say uh said to be racist.
And it is that to this day.
Uh this is what Republicans are still afraid of, in fact, is being called racist.
If they criticize him.
They're still afraid to jump all the way in with both feet on that, because on this because of their frame of that charge of being called racist.
And it's uh but the the question she's referring to, there's a poll, a Gallup poll, 91% of blacks approve of the job Obama's doing.
36% of whites approve.
So who's the racist?
The 91% of blacks is a 36% of whites.
That was the question.
Mike of New York City.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello, sir.
Megadiddo's rush.
I'm a big fan.
Thank you.
Uh, I'm gonna have to disagree with the two previous callers who have commented on the Family Guy episodes.
Mm-hmm.
Um, at the risk of offending you, I'm a big fan and a longtime listener.
I've watched Family Guy many, many times.
I think it's very funny, but as a conservative, I can see obviously the bias that that Seth McFarland puts into the show over the years.
Right.
I think you were portrayed as charming and funny and self-deprecating and gregarious.
And I think conservatism was mocked, like you've gotten some criticism that you said in some emails.
You were you went along with it, and but I think the bottom line is just look at the way Cheney was portrayed in the caricature.
You know, they they take shots on both sides at liberals and and conservatives, but I really think that uh it was it was definitely less flattering to the conservative principle than than you might have have seen looking at it firsthand.
Well, no, I haven't looked at the script.
Uh I didn't see the animation.
I looked at the script and and uh they made fun of George Bush.
I am handing him a lollipop.
Uh that was funny though.
Oh well, that was funny.
It was funny.
No, why was that funny and what they with Cheney was why was that funny?
I mean I Well, Cheney's made out to be a monster.
And you know, the the the left can't even make a meaningful caricature of Cheney.
It's always in uh let me tell you something.
Uh it's interesting.
I um I got a note from Seth McFarlane before the program aired last night.
I had not seen the program.
I just seen my script.
Uh I'd seen the whole script, but I had uh I'd seen my part, everybody else's part, but I had not seen any of the animation other than you know what they released last week.
And and Seth sent me this note.
He was he was getting hate mail like he has never received it before from people who thought he had screwed up by making me look human.
He had made a drastic error by making conservatism look funny and nice and reasonable, and they are accusing him of being a sellout.
And what he said to me in the email, he said, I was rushed.
I have to tell you, my people, my side of the aisle, supposedly all these tolerant, open-minded, uh willing to accept all points of view of these people uh you're more progressive than they are.
These these these people are have absolutely no sense of humor about anything in the show last night.
He was getting more beat up than I am.
Well, I think you've said that over the years.
We know who the real closed-minded people are, and the most dogmatic of all people are atheists and folks who can't even hear an opinion that slightly disagrees with their own.
Right.
But but I don't trust Seth McFarlane.
That's the bottom line.
And uh you know, there were funny aspects to it, and but on the whole, I think it was uh a bit more insulting than than you're than you're uh admitting to to conservatism, not to you.
You came off looking like a superhero.
You you actually were a superhero in the show.
Uh, you know, beating up all the muggers who who went after Brian.
But I I just do not trust Hollywood.
Seth McFarlane has proven his you know, he he I know this guy's stripes, I can see it in in what he's put out there.
I've heard him speak, I've I've listened to the case.
Yeah, okay.
Let me tell you something.
If if you know all that, then you have to admit this episode was tame compared to other things Seth McFarlane has done to conservatism and conservatives previous episodes of Family Guys.
I would definitely agree with that.
Yes.
And when you say they made me look like a superhero and a gregarious nice guy, I am conservatism.
Well, you are a huge part of it, no doubt.
But uh, you know, I I and and I don't want to sound to the slightest bit condescending, but your ego got stroked very well in that in that episode.
And don't detach yourself from it.
No, no, no, look.
Let me tell you something.
My ego didn't get to be offended.
No, this is not my ego didn't get stroked.
I've there were a couple things in that show last night I didn't like.
There are a couple things in the show in the script that I didn't like.
There were some things that I demanded they change, and they did change.
I don't even remember what they what they are now, but when I first looked at the script, I mean there were some things in there that you know, I said, I'm not gonna say this.
It was not about me, it was about it was about other conservatives.
But you know, in the um uh toward the end of the program where uh when I'm telling the dog, hey, look, uh if there's whatever, whatever I'll be there.
I mean, the the clearly conservatism was being negatively cliched in those in those two lines.
But I you know, it it's a cartoon.
It's it's a it's a comedy show, and and to me, this was this was not the place uh to draw a line in the sand given given what it is.
It's it's Sunday night, it's up against football.
Uh the Chicago Bears, New York Giants, which had a a record rating last night, by the way, or close to it.
Uh Sunday night football last night was over the top because they had New York and Chicago uh as uh as markets playing.
But no, my you can you can tell me whatever you thought of this thing uh all you want.
You will not hurt my feelings.
You won't offend me at all.
Netnet, I I luckily I had a DVR, so I watched both the football game and the family guy, but uh I think on the whole, I would say it was still a positive that you did it, and I think that you introduced your persona to a lot of people who would never ever otherwise have seen you or heard you firsthand.
Well, that's why Seth McFarland was getting all the hate mail that he was getting from his people.
Uh uh so that's a good observation you made.
That's a that's a pretty good point.
We must take a brief time out.
We'll be right back.
And we are back.
El Rushbow, half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair.
CNN Money.com, latest unemployed stimulus, subsidized workers.
Tens of thousands of low-income workers lost their jobs last Thursday as a stimulus subsidized employment program came to an end.
About a quarter of a million people, 250,000 people for those of you in Rio Linda in 37 states, were placed in short-term jobs thanks to a $5 billion boost to the temporary assistance and needy stimulus.
States used about one billion dollars to provide subsidized employment, with the remaining funds going to cash grants, food programs, housing assistance, and other aid.
About half the jobs were summer employment for youths.
The rest were disadvantaged parents.
Each state configured its initiative differently.
Some covered all the workers' wages for a few months, others paid for a portion.
With the program expiring, many of the adults have been told not to report to work anymore.
Well, then these never were jobs.
They were never jobs.
And this is jobs that Biden, Obama running around saying that they created or saved.
They were phony, artificial, make work jobs, not created by any economic circumstances, but simply paid for by you and me.
A transfer payment of tax dollars to certain people, and now the money's gone.
The money's been spent.
And whatever jobs these people were doing apparently are not needed because the work isn't necessary because it's over.
Latest unemployed stimulus subsidized workers.
CNN's got it right in their headline.
Stimulus subsidized workers.
Subsidized.
There was no work.
There was no real job.
Therefore, there was no real employment.
Summer jobs for the youth, whatever the hell they want to call it.
Subsidized jobs for disadvantaged parents.
I mean, this is it's outrageous.
Every bit of this was predicted.
Every bit of this was known to be the case beforehand, and everybody jumping all over me.
Well, how dare you say you want him to fail?
How dare you criticize?
Well, he's just trying to help people.
We had a call last week, Indian Bob.
A guy with a lot of firewater.
I got email about this guy from I can't tell you how many people.
Bob was drinking too much fire water, they all said.
This guy's Obama just trying to help people.
No, he's not.
This is the dirty little secret.
He's not trying to help people.
It's plain and simple.
It's black and white.
If Obama were trying to help people, his policies would be exact opposite of what they are.
This program did not help people.
This is nothing more than a disguised unemployment insurance extension bill.
And now the money's gone, and where are these people?
They got nothing.
They depended on the government, and where are they?
Nowhere.
They they're no further ahead than they were before they took the so-called stimulus job.
Obama is not trying to help people.
So now he's got a whole bunch of people just waiting on the next handout.
Or waiting on the next jobs training bill.
Or something else from Obama's stash.
And then there's this story for the Los Angeles Times.
They got- I guess they're running a continuing series at the LA Times called America Out of Work.
How dare they?
The recession ended over a year ago, and they've got an ongoing series called America out of work.
Kind of like America held hostage.
America out of work.
Automation is increasingly reducing U.S. workforces.
Farmers are among those opting for machines to perform tasks while reducing costs and boosting productivity.
This is from Button Willow, California.
The ground trembles on Mike Young's almond farm as forklift size yellow machine grabs a tree trunk and shakes it hard.
Nuts rained down like hailstones where they'll lie until another machine comes along and sorts them.
Young once grew tomatoes, cucumbers, and cotton, but in recent years he has shifted almost exclusively to nuts as worldwide demand has made the crop more profitable.
And there's another reason for abandoning row crops.
Employees are a headache.
Automation means that Young no longer needs large crews of farm workers to plant or harvest, and no more worrying about status, pay, or benefits.
Labor is so expensive, said Mr. Young.
This is Mike Young, whose great-grandfather started farming row crops in Kern County, Bakersfield, in 1910.
There's their wages, a truck, insurance, workers' comp, the safety regulations.
We went to a high value crop that needed less labor input.
He estimates it at seasonal peaks, he now employs 70% fewer workers.
Now who is this hurting?
Because this is work Americans refuse to do, right?
We've heard this.
Except for Stephen Colbert.
He'll go do it.
But Americans won't do this work.
So who's doing this work that no longer exists?
Thirdly, the illagr illegal immigrant community, quote unquote.
The illegal immigrant community.
This is a big, big blow to the illegal immigrant community.
Alan Sinai, the chief global economist of decision economics in Boston said, if cheap technology is available, you substitute technology for people.
Crisis is a catalyst for change with their bidness hammered by 9-11.
Airlines cut labor costs by switching to computer kiosks to check in customers, said Greg Buzek, president of retail technology consulting firm IHL Group.
So if if cheap technology is available, you substitute technology for people.
Which is what 70% America out of work.
It's there's nothing new about this.
This is a dirty little secret.
They're trying to pass this story off as some new example of evil behavior by American business ownership, be it small business and large business.
Look at them.
Look at these people.
They don't care.
If they can get it cheaper by getting rid of 70% of their workforce, then you'll do it.
Let me tell you something, folks.
The purpose of a business is not to make sure you have a job.
The purpose of a business is to not make sure your community has clean streets.
The purpose of a business is not to ensure that you have health insurance.
This guy stays in business if his product is affordable by the end user, the customer.
And if he can get a machine to come along and shake his trees, and his nuts hit the ground, and another machine comes along and sorts his nuts and takes them to the market and are a lot cheaper than if a bunch of hand guys picked his nuts.
Why is he to do?
He's saving huge dollars.
He'd be nuts not to do this.
The bottom line.
So now we got the LA Times America out of work.
Doing his horrible, horror, how heartless.
How heartless can Mike Young be.
He used to have illegal immigrants picking his nuts and now machines doing it.
Not only picking a nuts, but shaking a nuts.
Right off the trees.
Mike, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Why thank you.
I was watching the uh Family Guy episode last night with my my wife and my three-year-old daughter.
Three?
We really enjoyed it.
Your three-year-old daughter.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, we we thought it was great.
We don't figure if you can't poke fun of yourself.
You know, I'm I'm a very uh you know you know conservative person and uh getting my wife uh you know in that vein as well.
She's uh you know not quite a liberal, but um she's uh you know starting to see things uh in a new way.
Well they're married a couple years.
Is your is your wife listening right now by any chance?
I don't believe so.
Well, then you're probably telling the truth about her.
Just a s is a little bit liberal.
Well I don't yes, uh but you know, if if liberals can't be poked on at uh and conservatives can't be poked on that, then you know what's the point.
Well, let me tell you something.
Liberals cannot laugh at themselves.
I the last time I liberals don't laugh, period.
Now they're they're constantly wringing their hands, upset about something.
Uh if you can't laugh at yourself, I mean there's no th that that's a huge part of life to me, being able to laugh at yourself.
Uh and when you do when you laugh at yourself, it doesn't mean you don't take yourself seriously.
Uh at all.
Quite the opposite.
David in Washington, you're next.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Uh Rush, uh, I live on Capitol Hill, and every day I walk from Capitol Hill.
I I live three three houses from Barbara Boxer.
Every day that I uh I I walk from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
And I was taking my normal walk on Sunday morning, uh around six o'clock in the morning, and I have to tell you, the place was a mess.
It was a pig sty.
I saw pictures.
This is after you had a communist socialist rally on Saturday, right?
Yes.
It it it was disgraceful.
Rush, I saw tons of anti-war literature just flooding the World War II memorial.
They made no attempt to take their stuff back that they couldn't distribute.
At the Washington Monument, I saw hundreds of box lunches that were just all over the place.
They made no effort to put the box the empty box lunches near the overflow.
Well, what do you expect?
These are union people that showed up.
You expect them to do any work?
Rush, I saw hundreds of SEIU purple placards just thrown around everywhere.
And Rush, I have to also tell you, I went to the wall the the Lincoln Memorial two hours after the Glenn Beck rally.
Yeah.
The sole purpose of investigating the garbage situation because I had been there around 10 o'clock in the morning in Rush.
I was actually there at four o'clock in the morning the first time I took my dog for a walk.
There were thousands of people, thousands of people at four o'clock in the morning sitting on their lounge chairs at the Lincoln Memorial.
And when I went at six o'clock on Saturday morning, there was nobody there.
And I have to tell you, Rush, when I and I'm not a tea party person, I went before the rally and after the rally with my dog.
And I was there two hours after the rally, that uh at the Glenn Beck rally.
That place was immaculate.
Yep.
There were t scores of white garbage bags that they obviously brought themselves that they put near the overflowing garbage can.
I know, we've seen the pictures.
We've seen it's it happens.
I don't care where conservatives gather in mass.
This is always the case.
They always clean up the mess.
Dan's big sale, uh 80,000 people in Fort Collins, Colorado.
It was the same way.
And so much so that the uh newspaper out there was stunned.
They remarked about it.
Uh I've I've seen the pictures of them all after the Beck rally, and you're right, it was pristine.
And I saw pictures after the communist socialist rally yesterday or Saturday, and it's a pig sty, and it's always that way.
Now they leave they they you you nailed it when you said they'd leave their um their literature around that they weren't able to pass out because there weren't enough people there to pass well, so they leave it there, hoping other people will see it, and plus it it pollutes the uh the place.
But the interesting thing about this rally, folks, now normally the communist party is very much a part of all of these such rallies, the socialist rallies, the anti-American rallies, the anti-war, um all of these supposed uh new way to define yourself American rallies.
And normally the communist parties there, they're they're big organizers, but they stay behind the scenes because they don't want to um uh have a negative connotation of Pat attached to the progressive, to the liberals there.
Uh this time they didn't care.
This time it was well seen that members of the Communist Party USA were there, and organizations promoting socialism and communism were there.
Now they're not worried.
They're not worried about causing aspersions to accrue to the American left.
You know, the communists used to hide.
In this rally on Saturday, they didn't.
But there weren't that many people.
You ought to look at the pictures of the back rally compared to this thing.
Nobody, I mean, the pictures are stark.
There was nobody at this thing.
And you're not going to see the drive-bys will not show you the signage, the pictures, the the the pamphlets, the stuff that you saw, David, as you're walking around.
They know full well who was at this rally and what it was all about, but they are not going to have pictures of this stuff broadcast to the rest of the country.
I got this story here by the State Controlled Associated Press, and I have to ask myself if the UK, if England has been taken over by a bunch of mean, evil, uncaring conservatives.
Listen to this.
I say that in parody.
Britain will cap payments to jobless families and scrap child benefits for high earners in a sweeping overhaul of the country's welfare system, according to Treasury Chief George Osborne.
Osborne seeking to save about 135 billion dollars, 86 billion pounds, in government spending over the next five years, said the cost of welfare payments was out of control, and rewarding some people for staying out of work is no longer an option.
So everywhere around the world where they tried this before, we are going full-fledged for it.
They're discovering it doesn't work, it's breaking their bank, it's busting their system, and they're cutting back, while we proceed full speed ahead, knowing full well that this is right where we're headed, and it's all being done on purpose.
At an annual rally of his conservative party, Osborne, who's the treasury chief again, said Britain's coalition government is going to introduce a new welfare cap to make sure families in which both parents are unemployed do not receive more in benefits than an average family earns in wages.
Which is the case right now.
It's just uh uh they can't afford it.
They've long been broke in the U.K. We're broke.
They're facing up to it, and we aren't.
From the Washington Times.
Gallup poll, Democrats losing Hispanic voters.
This is the same poll that shows 91% of blacks approve of the job Obama's doing.
36% of whites do not.
Now just stop and think of that by itself.
This is a standalone.
And remember what we were told the election of Obama would be.
Postpartisan post-racial harmony, cumbaya.
All these reasons to be divided, gone.
According to the latest report from Gallup, Hispanics have peeled off from Democrats in August and September.
Hispanic voters' support for Democrat candidates waned in August and September.
As a result, Hispanics in September favored Democrats by only a 13% majority compared with a 32-point majority in June and July.
Whites in September favored Republicans over Democrats by a 14-point margin, similar to their support over most of this year.
So Democrats are losing Hispanics.
They're in the process, they're peeling away.
You can ask yourself why.
We could probably answer it if we had time, but we don't.
But the biggest reason for it is they're not monolithic.
We'll be back.
Sit tight.
You know, problem everybody makes, they think Hispanics are all one group of people, and they are not.
Hispanics are composed of various individuals of various races, different countries and territories throughout the world.
Both parties look at them as a monolithic group of people.
And the Republicans, the ruling class rhinos, they always told us we had to pander.
We had to go for amnesty.
We had to open the borders or we would drive all the Hispanics to the Democrats.
