Time Text
All right, we've completed our research.
We can't find very much time at Dingy Harry had to be in private practice in a law two years at most.
And we know he's involved in a bunch of shady land deals.
And he claims that all that money he made as a lawyer, he invested, that's what got him rich.
But yet, Sharon Angle wants to invest a portion of her social security money stock market, and he calls that extreme.
Yet that's what he did.
He admitted I did a very good job at investing.
I've been in a fixed income since I since I got to Washington.
I lived off what I made in the private sector.
Well, we've looked.
Well, you shall hear the fruits of our labors on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we're back at 800-282-2882 L Rushmore behind the golden EIB microphone.
Sharon Angles said, How'd you get so rich?
You left searchlight Nevada, you didn't have much money.
How'd you get so rich in the Senate?
He said, Everybody knows I was a very successful attorney.
And I uh invested my money while I lived in a fixed income out there.
All right, so you look at the resume, say, when was Reed a successful lawyer?
He graduated George Washington University Law School with a JD while working for the U.S. Capitol Police.
He returned to Nevada after law school.
He served as Henderson City Attorney.
It's Vegas.
Henderson City Attorney before being elected to the Nevada Assembly in 1968.
Now, serving as Henderson City Attorney is not private sector attorney work.
But Henderson City Attorney.
And wait, it gets better.
In 1970, at age 30, Dingy Harry was chosen by O'Callahan as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor of Nevada.
Reed and his mentor O'Callaghan, maybe it's O'Callaghan, won the race.
Dingy Harry served as Lieutenant Governor until 1974.
Now, what I don't know is, could he have served private practice as a lawyer while serving in state government?
There's no mention of it in the resume, but Lieutenant Governor, could he have served as as as a lawyer?
But he gets it gets better.
He ran for the U.S. Senate.
Uh U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Alan Bible in 1974.
He lost.
In 1975, Dingy Harry ran for mayor of Las Vegas and lost again.
He then served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission from 1977 to 1981.
Hmm.
Mmm.
After serving as the chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission, 77 to 81, there's a reason for all this, folks.
It's sitting hanging there with me here.
He then ran for the U.S. House and won.
He served two terms from 83 to 87.
In 1987, he was elected to the U.S. Senate where he's been ever since.
So when was he a successful lawyer in all this?
Because he said, I think everybody knows I've been a very successful lawyer.
Also ran the numbers.
He said that he put his five kids through a hundred semesters.
I ran the numbers on that.
If you do it, you come out.
There's two semesters in a year, right?
Or is it four?
Two semesters in a year.
Three if you do summer school, but it's it's two semi.
It's not four.
That's right.
In high school, we had quarters.
We had a the first quarter, second quarter equal to first semester.
Okay, so you have two semesters a year times four years of college times five kids is 40 semesters.
So some of his kids spent.
Well, it could be grade school, eight years in college, could be.
But still, still, I mean, this isn't cheap.
Now, where's this private lawyer stuff?
We do have this Nevada Gaming Commission chairmanship, 1977, 1981.
The only bio of Dingy Harry we have found that mentions he was ever in private practice is this one.
Police officer U.S. Capitol, circa 1961 to 63, City Attorney Henderson, Nevada, 64 to 66.
Nevada State Assemblyman 6970.
Nevada Lieutenant Governor, 7074.
Ran for U.S. Senate but lost 74.
Chairman Nevada Gaming Commission, 7781.
Attorney Private Practice, 8183.
Aha.
Two big years.
Attorney, private practice, 81 to 83.
Congressman 83 to 87.
U.S. Center, 87 present.
Harry Reed Biography, Life, Family, Children, Parents, Story, Wife, School, Mother, Young, Newsmaker Calcul accumulation.
So basically, he was he was an attorney in private practice 1981 to 83.
How much money can you make as an attorney in two years?
And he was running for office.
That sometimes can take six months to a year.
Reed's official Senate website says this about that period.
In 77, he was appointed chairman of Nevada Gaming Commission, where for five years he made headlines with his legendary unrelenting fight to clean up Nevada's gaming industry.
But he didn't talk about that.
He said everybody knows I was a successful lawyer.
And then I invested well.
And I live at a fixed income.
He returned to private law practice for a few years and won the first of two terms of the U.S. House of Representatives.
I mean, that's it.
So where where is where can it be shown?
He was some great lawyer who earned millions of dollars in the legal process.
Where can it be shown?
But he said this is how he got rich.
So played back to back, which is it?
Is he the only one smart enough to get rich and provide for himself off the profits of evil corporations in the stock market?
That's what he said he did.
Or do you have to be a powerful senator who gets insider deals to make a profit?
Sherrod Engelson want to privatize social security.
It's too risky, but that's how he got rich.
So who, ladies and gentlemen, the final analysis here?
Who is more knowledgeable and coherent?
Sharon Angle or Harry Reid?
Christine O'Donnell or Harry Reed.
Sarah Palin or Harry Reed.
Harry Reed's a fool.
Harry Reed is a tool.
Harry Reed makes no sense.
But will not be treated with the disdain any of these ladies are treated with.
He will not be shown any of the disrespect that they are treated to.
He will not be insulted or impugned the way they are.
And yet he's the tool.
He's the fool.
He's the liar who cannot tell the truth about the source of his wealth.
I mean, you search the biography here, and you simply can't find it.
Rush, why are you spending so much time in it?
I'm spending so much time on this because we're asked to look the other way so many times when it comes to Democrats, because they supposedly care about the little guy.
They're supposed we're supposed to look the other way when a woman dies being driven off a bridge.
We're supposed to look the other way when all this kind of stuff happens.
We're supposed to look the other way when our private sector is being destroyed.
We're supposed to look the other way when nobody can find a job, when nobody has a prospect of finding a job.
We're supposed to look the other way when our health care systems being destroyed.
We're supposed to look the other way while the chance for economic growth and prosperity is increasing.
We're supposed to look the other way when all of the things that have defined this country greatness are under assault.
We're supposed to look the other way when the president of the United States talks about how people Go tribal when things get tough economically when he's defining the term going tribal.
We're supposed to look the other way.
When the Democrats and their buddies in the media laugh at, impugn, and make fun of the people and the traditions and the institutions that have made this country great were supposed to look the other way and pay no attention to it.
Why?
Because they supposedly have more compassion.
Because they supposedly care about the little guy.
Because they're not extremists.
Because they are for killing babies in the womb as a civil right.
That's why we're supposed to look the other way and put all of our faith and hope in them.
And people are fed up with looking the other way.
So I'm not looking the other way.
If Harry Reed says everybody knows I was a successful lawyer, I didn't know that.
I didn't know he served in the Nevada Gaming Commission.
I didn't know anything, what I just told you, other than his U.S. Senate service until I looked it up.
I didn't know that Harry Reed served as a private sector lawyer for a couple of years, made enough money to get rich and live off a fixed income and get involved in phony, fraudulent land deals.
I didn't know any of that.
We're supposed to look the other way at all of this.
We're supposed to that's that's not important.
Instead, we're supposed to be scared of people like Robert Bork.
We're supposed to be afraid of people like Clarence Thomas.
We're supposed to be afraid of people like me.
We're supposed to be afraid of people like Sarah Palin.
We're supposed to be afraid of people like Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Engle and Carl Palladino.
We're supposed to look the other way.
While these best and brightest and most caring and most compassionate people literally destroy...
The opportunity for other people in this country to achieve their own dreams and prosperity and wealth.
And we're simply tired of looking the other way.
Instead of being distracted and looking the other way, we're going to look at them.
Who are these people?
Back in just a second.
All right, we're going to get to your phone calls here in just a second, but just a couple things first.
Associated Press, October 2006, John Solomon Kathleen Hennessy, the authors of the piece.
Senate Democrat leader Dingy Harry collected a 1.1 million dollar windfall on a Las Vegas land sale, even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, according to property deeds.
In the process, Harry Reed did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Senator didn't disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in this company.
He continued to report to Congress he personally owned the land, which he didn't.
But he got no look it.
He collected a 1.1 million dollar windfall on a sale of some property in Vegas, even though he hadn't owned it in three years.
That's how you get rich in the U.S. Senate.
You get paid off.
The complex dealings allowed Reed to transfer ownership, legal liability, and some tax consequences to Brown's company as Buddy without public knowledge, but still collect a seven-figure payoff nearly three years later.
When the AP reporters called Harry Reid, he hung up the phone when questioned about the deal.
From the Dingy Harry and Sharon Angle debate, in which he takes it to the insurance companies.
Insurance companies don't do things out of the goodness of their hearts.
They do it out of a profit motive, and they have almost destroyed our economy.
Stop the tape.
Insurance companies do not do things out of the goodness of their hearts.
They do it all for the profit motive, and they have almost destroyed our economy.
Mark Hemingway, National Review Online.
60 Minutes did a great report on Medicare fraud this past Sunday, among other things the report Noted that Medicare fraud was now more common in South Florida than the drug trade.
And then there's this.
Medicare fraud amounts to $60 billion a year.
That's a heck of a lot of money.
In fact, Medicare losses or Medicare loses seven times as much money in fraud every year than the combined profits of the 14 health insurance companies on the Fortune 500 list.
And yet here's Harry Reid getting paid off on a land deal in Vegas, impugning insurance companies for seeking profit and almost destroying our economy when he and his buddies in the Democrat Party are in the process of doing just that.
And the systems they devise for our health care, Medicare, Medicaid, there's so much fraud, and who knows who's getting paid off on this.
So much fraud that it dwarfs.
The combined profit of 14 health insurance companies in the Fortune 500.
This is just an out and out, outrageous, despicable lie.
And is typical of what we've been getting of the Democrat Party for as long as I've been listening to them speak.
Government great, government God.
Profits destroy.
Profits destroy economy, profits destroy country, companies, corporations want profits.
They don't care about people.
Only Democrats care about people.
Only Democrats care about the little body, unless you're unborn in a womb and then you're on your own.
Only Democrats care about people.
Everybody else, big oil, big pharma, big insurance, big retail, they're killing people.
Big government saving them.
Big government is defrauding people left and right, failing to produce anything on what promises.
This is stunning.
Medicare loses seven times as much money in fraud every year as the combined profits of the 14 health insurance companies, and we're told that these people in charge of this kind of incompetence and loss or whatever else it is fraud are now going to be in charge of one sixth of the U.S. economy.
We're supposed to look the other way because these people care about us and Republicans are the extremists and the kooks.
All right, to the phones, we're going to start here in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Joy, I'm really glad you waited.
I appreciate your patience.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Thank you so much, Rush, and God bless you for all your efforts.
Thank you.
I'm graded here by a paradox that I'd hope that you would address for all our edification here.
The Bush tax cut sunset because it's burgersly claimed that they're costly, and we all know the tax cuts increase government revenues.
Right.
Whereas on the other hand, we know that there were presidential meetings and coercion of the CBO to withhold information and to cook the books here.
and even Obama himself said regarding the health care, we all knew it wasn't going to be free to insure 30 million more people.
Well, given that, shouldn't the new Congress use that obvious fraud to invalidate the program in its entirety, just in case the attorney generals discovers some emanation of the Constitution that says yes, you can't.
Well, you are you you're you're providing a pathway, I mean you are suggesting a course of action.
And the answer to your question, of course they could.
The question becomes, will they?
Well, I think if more of us are aware of it and insist that they do, they'll have to.
Well, we would hope so.
It certainly was, it certainly worked out that way uh in immigration.
They heard us on immigration.
It didn't work on health care reform.
Uh 60% of the American people are opposed to it.
It's the Democrats that are the problem here.
Now, the Republicans, you're gonna you're gonna have uh a bunch of different varieties here.
Some Republicans are not gonna want to do this.
Uh they're they're I've heard from them that they're not gonna have that much power.
They're not gonna control a government.
They're not gonna be able to repeal or roll in this stuff back because they won't be able to override a presidential veto.
Others are gonna be hell-bent to conduct investigations with subpoena power.
You're gonna have a variety of Republican courses of action here take place.
And I think these elections turn out as we all think, that alone will be a single message, a signal message as to how they should go, but they are going to be observed closer than they ever have been.
Because a lot of Republicans, whether they know it or not, are going to be elected with the idea they're gonna stop this, that this needs to be stopped, that our country's being destroyed, and they're the ones that have that are on the front lines.
They have to do it legislatively.
You could say, yeah, she's if we don't provide the heat, they won't see the light.
That it ought to be a subject for hearings.
Why did the CBO lie about this?
There's so many lies about this whole thing.
It ought to be.
There ought to be hearings on this starting in day one in January when they're sworn in.
We've already got the federal judge that said these 20 states' health care lawsuit can move forward on the Commerce Clause portion of it.
It's all lining up in our way.
Hi, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh.
Open line Friday.
Harry Reid, by the way, um explained he failed to report that million dollar land deal because of clerical errors.
And that explanation was good enough for our watchdog media never bothered to raise the subject again.
And that's one of these no lose deals.
Senators are made aware of great opportunities.
Dinge Harry, give us a million bucks, we'll put it over here.
It's guaranteed to win one way or the other.
Either get your money back with a couple interest points or the land goes nuts and it's uh even more than what you put in.
But you there's no way you're gonna lose it.
Does it?
Three years later, land is sold, he's not even on the deed, gets one point one million dollars out of it.
Things that you and I are never even advised of, things that you and I are not even told of.
Because nothing we can do for the people that Harry Reid can do for people.
Federal judge ruled yesterday a lawsuit brought by twenty states challenging the health care overhaul law can move forward.
This is uh Judge Roger Vinson.
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Florida.
Um he rejected the Obama administration's request to throw out the case.
That was expected during oral arguments over the government's motion to dismiss last month, uh dismissed last month, Vincent had indicated that he was likely to rule at least partly in the state's favor.
Essentially he said the mandate is a penalty.
The requirement that you buy health insurance or pay a fine to your regime said, no, no, no, it's a tax.
Well it's our power to levy taxes, Judge is not a tax, and as such, it's outside constitutional powers of taxation.
There ought to be an investigation, just our last caller settled.
The CBO, you know, everybody knew that they were cock cooking the books to keep that number under one trillion dollars to get Democrats vote for it.
John in Atlanta, open line Freddy.
I'm gonna do my best to get a lot of phone calls in here since I had diarrhea of the mouth for the first hour and a half.
Great to have you on the program, John.
Hi.
Thank you, Rush.
It's my honor to talk to you.
Uh in listening to your program over the last hour, I just wanted to call and say you are on fire.
When you send the tapes of today's program to the archives of the Museum of Broadcasting, this dingy Harry rant you just did will be among the all-star segments.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for all that you do.
Very much.
I appreciate that.
Very nice.
Cincinnati, John, you're next.
Open line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Uh, just to comment about uh Harry Reed's com comment about being that he said that General Petraeus is his friend.
He's my friend.
Well, General Petrae, that's ca that's a weasley answer or comment because General Petraeus is not gonna say yes or no to that.
Obviously, he's uh he's neutral, he's not gonna make any comment.
So for him to say that uh is uh ludicrous.
Uh number one.
Well, of course, look if dingy Harry were talking about me on the floor of the Senate, he would say, and my good friend Rush Limboy.
It's just the way these phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and rollers talk.
That's politics 101.
My good friend on the other side of the aisle, who I really would like to see dead.
Al Gore called me a distinguished American at one point.
So uh you're right.
And but you're also right that Petraeus can't do anything about it.
He probably doesn't care.
He's moved on.
Right.
Right.
Uh comment about his income.
No, he's had a fixed income.
How do you are you there?
Yeah.
How do you how do you make uh go from zero dollars or uh very uh very low net worth to millions without earning money.
He said he made good investment while you're earning that's a very low blow.
I I don't know.
Why would you dare ask that question?
Uh yeah, right.
I why should I?
Uh because I'm logical and uh these people aren't.
And anybody that would actually believe this stuff aren't aren't very uh thinking people in my I don't think too many people believe it.
I think some people don't care about it and some people do.
But I don't think too many people believe that Harry Reed was in law practice two years uh back in the early eighties and made enough money to be living off to this day and send his five kids to hundred semesters of college.
Uh and uh somehow find a way to make one point one million dollars on a piece of property he didn't own.
I don't uh I don't a lot of people it's not concerned, it's uh uh aware of that.
Some people don't care.
He's a democrat, and he's a good person.
The liberal is a good person cares about people.
Cares about the homeless, cares about the poor, of course doesn't, but I mean this is the reputation.
It just a lot of people don't care.
In fact, more power to him.
Just the way the political dice uh get rolled in the country.
Here is uh Mike in False Church, Virginia.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Oh, hi Rush.
Uh Megadetto's uh Mike in Falls Church, Virginia.
Uh just about a call.
Uh I work for a uh a car dealership here uh in uh in in Falls Church.
I can't say the name of it, uh, but it's owned by a prominent Democrat.
Um but I uh they uh recently had their health care people in and uh in order to wait just a minute now.
You you're intriguing me here, you're intriguing the audience.
You can't you can't mention dealership you work for owned by a prominent democrat.
Well, yeah, because uh I gotta keep my job.
We would but we would all know the Democrat when you say prominent, we'd all know who the the owner of the company is.
You could probably figure it out.
Well, is it the dealership or the manufacturer that uh it's the dealership.
The dealership, the owner of the dealership.
Ah, okay.
And uh I can tell you off the air, but I I gotta keep my job.
I understand.
I understand totally.
I was in America and you got to stay alive.
I understand.
But uh we've been recently they've had the health care people in and uh they're making a uh bunch of things mandatory now.
Uh they're removing uh in order to lower the rates, health uh people told him that uh they can do that if they remove the Coke and candy machines from the building, ban smoking from the premises.
Um and uh you know, they make it a smoke-free bunker, I guess.
And um because Hitler had one.
Um you can lower your health insurance if the coke machines out, the candy machines out, and uh ban smoking from the premises.
Ban smoking from the premises.
The people that smoke there have to go to a mandatory meeting this coming week, uh smoking cessation meeting that's going to be uh put together by that health insurance company.
Wait a second.
Yep.
People who smoke, even not at work.
Correct.
Have to go to a a cessation meeting.
Smoking cessation meeting that's been made mandatory.
Or else what?
Well, or else if you don't go to it, you're gonna lose your job.
Um and uh we don't know what's gonna happen in the meeting.
Okay.
Correct.
They have to go to the cessation uh meeting.
If they don't, they lose their jobs as the insurance company threatening to raise rates on your owner of the dealership.
Well, they uh they've told them that they can this is the way that they can reduce rates or keep them down.
And uh that's the purpose of uh these decisions.
They have all these health fares too, where we have to uh we're we're not required to do this, but they encourage us to go in and have our which is okay in one way, uh going and have your blood pressure and and blood sugar tested and all that, but that's for the health insurance company too.
Right.
They haven't made that absolutely mandatory.
But they they've also had uh series of random drug tests where you know you never know every couple of weeks you get hauled in and you have to urinate in front of a stranger.
Yeah.
Um the um in order to keep your job.
The the cessation meeting, now nobody knows what's going to happen in this meeting.
Uh but the rumor is, and so far every rumor's come true.
The rumor is is that they're gonna test us for nicotine.
Um apparently some hospital's doing this someplace.
And uh now we don't know that for a fact, but I know I have to go to this meeting, and uh so I've been you know uh identified as a smoker.
Uh a minute now.
Yeah.
You do not have to smoke to ingest nicotine.
That would be that's true.
Well, you don't.
You can get nicerette, you can put a patch on.
You can drink tea for crying out loud.
Nicotine's in tea.
Yeah, I can shoot a big.
You can shoot it up.
You could you get one of my e-cigarettes here.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't have to smoke to have nicotine in your system.
My God, a nicotine test at a car dealership.
Uh that I don't know to be true yet.
Okay.
All I that's just rumored.
That's that's the rumor, but every rumor's come true so far.
And I do know that I have to go to this meeting.
It's mandatory, and it'd be mandatory meeting.
If you don't go, you're you're subject to something as to whether I'd get fired for not going to it or not, I don't know.
This is a Volvo dealership.
Well, we'll take a break.
Be right back.
Don't go.
I know who it is.
Okay, we got a new polling result in from Ras Muson in Delaware.
Before the debate, what was Christine O'Donnell down?
Was it 20?
20, a little bit higher than that.
19 or 20, whatever it was.
She's now down eleven.
Since the debate, she's now down by eleven.
And that's why Obama and Bite Me are in Delaware today.
And it's not because I I had to get a biggest kick out of this.
They actually said uh Obama's going in there because oh, it's a great opportunity to just to show what a bunch of idiots all Republicans are.
They're going in there to make fun of Christine O'Donnell.
And I'm going in there, it's not gonna waste his time doing that.
Going there, because they if they lose this.
If they lose this, it's not only Obama with a bunch of egg on his half the Republican Party, too.
And about three forters, three quarters of the so-called conservative media in Washington with egg on its face.
If Christine O'Donnell loses this.
Uh ladies and uh gentlemen, uh there is a website, I found it here, Nicotine Drug Test Solutions.
The uh website is Pass our IPassed My Drug Test dot com.
And this website has ways in which you can beat the system.
And they sell a product.
That's uh it's uh obviously it's a very entrepreneurial private sector concern.
Kids are out of school today.
Don, the kids knew this before I learned about it.
I uh uh Dawn's worried that I shouldn't discuss this because the kids in the audience are going to learn about this.
And my point is they've known it for years.
I'm just hearing about it.
There are two different uh nicotine cleanses that you can buy the nicotine cleanse and the nicotine cleanse extreme.
Uh one is for fifty-nine ninety-five, the other eighty-nine ninety-five.
So if you work for Don Bayer Volvo in Falls Church, and you're worried about nicotine tests coming, there's a website.
Don by the former lieutenant governor there, and he is uh is now ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein or Liechtenstein.
Uh he raised more than half a million dollars for Obama.
So now it's uh he's he's the ambassador over there.
He's uh Liechtenstein, that's exactly what that's a that that's one of the primary reasons there is a Liechtenstein.
You park money there that you don't want people to know about.
So Ellen in uh in Rocky River, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Russ.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
You know, I was wondering if you had seen um or knew anything about there was uh a debate between uh Jim McGovern he is the Democrat, the sitting Democrat Congressman from the third congressional district in Massachusetts.
He's running against um a Marty Lamb.
Well, they were Oh, yeah, this is the guy that said the Constitution's wrong.
Yeah, you know, I was scrolling through um the internet and I saw it and I thought, well, it was worth watching, and when I first Heard it and saw it, I thought I must have I must not have heard it correctly.
So I did the replay, and indeed I did hear it correctly.
So I didn't know whether to be more appalled, angry, disappointed.
So I called his DC office yesterday and got right through, and the person who answered the phone was quick to tell me that he had misspoken.
And you know, I didn't want to sound snider contentious, but I felt compelled to correct her.
What I said was, um, if by misspeaking you mean it slipped out, then I would agree.
If you're going to define misspeaking as that's not what he meant, I would profoundly disagree with you.
Uh it would appear to me that he and his ilk see the Constitution as a huge impediment.
Right, they do.
You know, restricting free speech and political correctness.
I uh I had the soundbite yesterday, and I didn't get to us in a foul mood yesterday, a fouler mood today, and I didn't get to it yesterday, but one of the reasons not just because I was in a foul mood.
Democrats, all Democrats think the Constitution is wrong.
That means that's their premise.
That's why they appoint the judges they appoint to rewrite the damn thing under the uh under the auspices of law.
I mean, Obama used to teach that the Constitution is wrong.
He's is a constitutional law lecturer.
I mean, Obama is on record.
The bill of rights, screwy.
We need a new bill of rights.
FDR got the ball rolling on that.
We need the bill, because the Constitution doesn't spell out what government can do for people or two people.
I mean, they Democrats don't like it.
Period.
This this guy, you were right.
He let the cat out he misspoke, meaning, uh oh, God, I didn't want people to know we think that.
Can I can I just make one uh quick cut one or two quick comments about Sharon Engel and the health care.
I'm a uh healthcare professional, I'm a nurse manager, so I certainly have a vested interest as a consumer of health care and also somebody who works in in the industry.
Um I I think she was quite articulate.
I I watched um uh the debate between her and Harry Reid.
I did a YouTube this morning.
I'm home doing homework.
But at any rate, what she was saying, and I thought it was it was right on.
Um there should be no mandates.
If an individual consumer wants some type of coverage that would cover pr preventative care, he or she should be able to purchase that in the marketplace.
If, however, they don't want uh a policy that covers, you know, colonoscopies or mammograms or whatever, that too should be a choice.
So I thought that she I thought that she handled it very well.
Um I I really thought she did mop up the floor with Harry Reid.
I mean, she was uh no question about it.
They think that at Newsweek magazine, they think that it's a new republic, they think that it's a Las Vegas newspapers.
And there's no question, she was far more knowledgeable and coherent than Harry Reid was.
And Christine O'Donnell was more knowledgeable and coherent than a bearded Marxist clown.
What's his name?
I can never remember...
Coons, that's right, Coons.
She th I think both of these women mopped the floor with these guys.
Harry Reid is a fool.
Coons is too.
All liberals are fools.
And they make no sense.
The difference is they are not treated with disdain.
They are not insulted, nor are they impugned the way Sharon Engel is and has been, Sarah Palin is and has been, or Christine O'Donnell is and has been.
But again, Christine O'Donnell, after that debate, cut the lead in half in the Rasmussen poll twenty to eleven.
And that's why Obama invite me are in there today.
Charlie Cook, the gospel inside the Beltway, uh polster analyst guy, the Cook political report out with its latest outlook for the House, predicting a tsunami.
This is some hotline on call yesterday, after surveying the state of several key toss-up races.
Charlie Cook concludes the chances of a Republican landslide are rising.
In the translation of landslide, Republicans likely to win more than fifty seats in the House.
Likely to win now, if it if they're saying that, it's more like sixty-five.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Okay, uh, here's is a simple questionnaire.
Who is the more stupid?
Christine O'Donnell, who could not cite a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed, or McGovern, Jim McGovern got Obama, who disagree with a Supreme Court decision they don't even understand.
And that's the Citizens United case.
