Time Text
I'm sitting here thinking the Democrats must have really given Obama hell.
You notice how long it's been since he and Michelle took a vacation?
It's been like three weeks.
And how long has it been since he squeezed in 18 holes?
There's been at least 10 days for that.
Well, we don't know about basketball because you can play that inside.
So he may be playing basketball, but they are going to be jetting off on a trip to India a couple days after the election next week.
Get some much, much needed vacation time in after all of this hard work running around out there ginning up support against Obama's enemies, the American people.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
News that you are not hearing about in the run-up to the election.
Home prices are weakening around the country, even in metro areas that were showing strength earlier this year.
The Standard ⁇ Poor's Case Schiller 20 City Home Price Index released today fell again in August from July.
15 of the cities showed monthly price declines.
Prices are expected to drop further in the coming months.
The biggest drop was in Phoenix.
Yeah, I wonder why.
Prices there fell 1.3% from a month earlier.
Prices in San Francisco and Los Angeles, which had been increasing, both fell in August as well.
Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, and Las Vegas are the only cities to show monthly price increases, but that's because, at least in New York, I got 125% profit on my condo.
The 20-city index has risen 6.7% from its April 2009 bottom, but the markets that have been devastated by the housing bust, allegations of flawed foreclosure paperwork, are leaving buyers wary of purchasing homes in foreclosure.
Potential buyers are worried the sale will be canceled or complicated if the previous owners claim in court that their foreclosures were invalid.
So, how's that hope and change working out for you?
The news continues, and then there's this.
The Obama administration's foreclosure prevention effort has been ineffective in tackling the foreclosure crisis.
According to the watchdog for the federal bank bailouts, Neil Borofsky said that Treasury officials, well, who could believe this, are falsely claiming.
Really?
Who knew?
Treasury officials are falsely claiming the program has helped more than 1.3 million homeowners, even though fewer than half of them, have received permanent changes to their mortgages through the government's plan.
Borofsky, the inspector general for the $700 billion Wall Street Rescue, said the Treasury claims it has helped everybody who entered the program, even those who later fell out, are just not true.
Even this race is either hopelessly out of touch or it's really a cynical attempt to try to define failure as success.
Again, news you're not hearing about except here in the run-up to the election.
Future generations of semi-trucks, screw buses, and large pickups will need to cut fuel consumption and emissions by 10 to 20 percent under the first ever fuel efficiency rules for trucks announced Monday by the Obama regime.
Did you know about this?
For the first time, the EPA and the Transportation Department released proposed fuel economy requirements and reductions in tailpipe emissions from medium and heavy-duty trucks, beginning with those sold in the 2014 model year and into the 2018 model year, long after Obama's second term election has taken place.
The proposal, expected to be finalized next summer, seeks a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption from big rig combination tractors by 2018.
So the green agenda is still marching on.
You're not hearing about it.
But Obama's effort to destroy the existing energy marketplace goes on practically unabated.
A press secretary to Hispanic media in Nevada for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry is no longer with his office amid a news report accusing her of marrying a man in 2003 to help him evade immigration laws.
This from a Dingy Harry spokesman Monday night.
Reed spokesman Jim Manley said in an email to the state-controlled Associated Press that the conduct allegedly committed by Diana Tejada was clearly wrong.
He said Reed's office was not previously aware of the allegations, first reported Monday at Fox News.
He added that Tejada is no longer with the office after an internal investigation.
The Fox News report said that the 28-year-old Tejada lied to authorities to cover up her marriage to 37-year-old Bassam Mohammad Tarhini.
But the report said the Tejada was never charged with a crime.
She got a pass.
Who would have ever suspected this anyway?
The 28-year-old Tejada lied to cover up her marriage to 37-year-old Bassam Mahmoud Tarhini.
Who would ever think something strange about that union?
And did you hear this?
Alex Sink, a Democrat candidate for governor of Florida, was caught cheating in a debate last night with Rick Scott.
Yeah, what happened out there was they had a break for makeup.
I guess there's a commercial break during the break.
And during a commercial break, the makeup artist came out.
And the makeup artist for Alex Sink brought out a cell phone and had a message on it.
And the message was a piece of advice for Alex Sink to respond to something Rick Scott had said.
Now, Rick Scott saw this happening.
So Rick Scott said, hey, you know, you just cheated.
You just violated the mutually agreed to rules.
And the statement that this babe issued, is incredible.
The statement that Sink released, let's see here.
Let's see, the, well, yeah, makeup artists came into a commercial break and showed her phone with a message.
And the statement says that the makeup artist who tried to show the message, Alex, had been fired, tried to show.
You can see Sink reading the message.
There wasn't any attempt to show her about it.
It all happened.
But of course, just like this weirdo in Dingy Harry's office, this campaign aide who gave the cell phone to the makeup artist has been canned from the Alex Sink campaign.
In both cases, it needs to be pointed out that these people are Democrats.
Here's the full story.
Alex Sink's campaign violated rules Monday evening at the CNN St. Petersburg Times Florida debate when her makeup artist delivered a message during a television break.
The message on the cell phone was, the attorney who won the psych suit said Alex Sink did nothing wrong.
Tell him not to let him keep talking about her.
Supposed to get on Scott.
You know, don't keep talking about this.
After the debate, the Sync campaign, how would you like to be running for office with a last name Sink?
Join Sync as governor of Florida.
Help Sync, Sync, Florida.
Help Sync synchronize Florida.
What?
Just the name alone is a way to run some.
That's just me.
What do I know?
After the debate, the Sync campaign released a statement from the candidate announcing that the advisor who sent the message had been removed.
The advisor was not named.
But a campaign spokesman confirmed that it's Brian May who signed the rules agreement before the debate on behalf of the Sink campaign, which just might be sunk because of this.
Sink said after the debate, one of my campaign advisors admitted he tried to communicate with me during the...
What do you mean tried?
He didn't.
He did, and you read the message.
Well, he told me it was out of anger with Rick Scott's repeated distortion of facts.
It was a foolish thing to do.
It violated a debate agreement.
I immediately removed him from the campaign.
Well, be still my beating heart.
So, two campaign staffers for two Democrats have been axed amid what are clearly efforts at cheating.
They're just clerical errors, they're saying, but they're cheating.
Now, in an unrelated story, but I think this might explain what happened to some people with Obama.
Some Science Daily from yesterday.
A new meta analysis study conducted by Syracuse University professor Stephanie Ortigue.
And I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation.
It's O-R-T-I-G-U-E.
Maybe Ortigue.
Never know.
Results for her study reveal that falling in love can elicit not only the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine, but it also affects intellectual areas of the brain.
Researchers also found falling in love only takes about a fifth of a second.
Results from Ortigue's team revealed that when a person falls in love, 12 areas of the brain work in tandem to release euphoria-inducing chemicals such as dopamine, adrenaline, and vasopression.
Also, oxytocin.
The love feeling also affects sophisticated cognitive functions such as mental representation, metaphors, and body image.
The findings raise the question: does the heart fall in love or does the brain?
It's a tricky question, says the researcher, Ortigue.
I would say the brain, but the heart's also related because the complex concept of love is formed by both bottom-up and top-down processes from the brain to the heart and verse visa.
For instance, activation in some parts of the brain can generate stimulations to the heart, butterflies in the stomach.
Some symptoms, this sounds like constipation to me.
Some symptoms we sometimes feel as a manifestation of the heart may sometimes be coming from the brain.
Ortigue is an assistant professor of psychology and an adjunct professor of neurology, both in the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse University, which is where Donovan McNabb went to school.
I don't know it has anything to do with it, but I just know it, so I thought I would throw it in.
Other researchers also found blood levels of nerve growth factor also increased.
Those levels were significantly higher in couples who had just fallen in love.
This molecule involved plays an important role in the social chemistry of humans or the phenomenon love at first sight.
These results confirm that love has a scientific basis.
It also sounds like we're a bunch of robots.
A fifth of a second, Snerdley, think of that.
One fifth of a second, and you could lose half of what you own.
Ladies and gentlemen, the race business is alive and well in the era of Obama, just as the president himself is keeping it alive with a radio interview to the Hispanic audience telling them about immigration.
Well, hey, look, if you're not willing to go out there and punish our enemies, then don't expect me to move the agenda of amnesty forward for you.
I mean, I can't do it.
I'm just, I'm not just a king.
You've got to go out there and help me punish my enemies.
That's Obama keeping it alive.
Yesterday afternoon on MSNBC Live, the hapless Contessa Brewer talked to the Monocomb coalition president, the Reverend Doc.
She said, look, about the minority bloc.
These were people who, I mean, there were a lot of first-time voters out there, voted for Obama.
They were motivated.
They wanted to see that change in the White House in this election.
And again, you're holding the rallies, but you're looking at groups of people who could be the pivotal difference between Republicans having control in Congress and Democrats having control.
What do you say to them?
Now, does anybody understand the question?
I don't understand the question.
I just read the question to you.
I don't know what the question means.
But Jesse Jackson answered it anyway.
Here's what he said.
There are more black voters than there are Tea Potters.
I mean, there's more coffee in the pot than there is tea in the cup.
And whenever those voters vote in big numbers in strategic states, they're the whole difference.
Well, there you have it.
That's cleared up.
John in Detroit, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Briddles Rush from Detroit.
Thank you.
I wanted to address the established Republican leadership in the Senate trying to staff our new Republican newbies and start to mold them.
Do you remember the gang of 14 with John McCain?
Oh, yeah.
Well, we need our own gang of 14 featuring those newbies, you know, and act as our Tea Party voting block.
You know, they need to stick together with their principles that got them there and not be afraid to push the current Republican leadership around.
And I think if they do that and act as a voting block force, I think that'll make a lot of people happy and maybe we can move our own agenda.
Well, it's what the blue dogs tried to do on the Democrat side.
It's, you know, it's a little bit of a risky strategy because the way of the house is the way of the house on both sides.
And new arrivals.
Have you ever asked yourself, let me go at this a different way.
Let's go back to 1994 and the freshman class.
Have any of you ever taken time to ask why that freshman class left so soon?
You realize that there aren't that many members of the freshman class of 1994 still there.
Why did they leave?
I mean, the 94 freshman class was made up of what you would have to say, the forerunners of Tea Partiers.
I mean, I met a bunch of them.
They come to my TV show.
These were not Inside the Beltway people.
I would ask them, well, what are you going to do about next?
Well, we're just going to change it.
It was as simple as probably, we're just going to change it.
But they found it very difficult to change things.
And so they left.
A lot of them just went back to their gigs.
They served their two or three terms and left.
Very few of them are still there.
Some are, but very few of them.
Now, one of the things that's some of them abided by term limits too, but one of the things that's politics is a business like any other.
And there are procedures for rising to the top in that business, just like there is in your business.
I mean, you want to become president of the company, you got to do what the board of directors, what the company expects.
There's a game you have to play.
There's a role that you have to fulfill.
And it's not always that mavericks climb all the way to the top.
And these procedures at times can seduce everybody or anybody.
So it will be very, very interesting to watch how the newbies, the victors on Tuesday, how they end up assimilating in the House starting in January when they're sworn in.
Of course, they'll go to the freshman orientation.
And that'll happen sometime in late October, early November.
I went to the freshman orientation.
That's where I was made an honorary member of that freshman class.
It was at Camden Yards.
And the media was there in full force.
And I remember standing up telling those freshmen exactly what I'm saying today.
I mean, I don't change.
And I had female infobabes in the New York Times come up to me.
Do you really think of the press this way?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
I think you're biased in favor of Democrats.
I think you resent the fact these people won, and you're going to give them hell.
And you're going to treat them like interlopers.
You really think that?
Yeah, I do.
I know exactly that's how you're going to operate.
That's why I told them to be on the lookout for you.
I forget.
It might have been Kit Seely at the New York Times asking me.
I forget who.
Don't quote me.
I don't know who it was.
But it was a bunch of female reporter from the Washington Post.
They were sitting at my table.
He came down and sat down on the floor on one knee next to me with their notepads asking me these questions.
At the freshman orientation, what happens?
At the orientation of anything, the leaders, the people that run the show, come and tell you how it happens.
They come and tell you how the house works.
They come and tell you what you got to do, and here's how you're going to go.
And this is going to be where you're going to get your staff and this sort of thing.
And the newbie is, by definition, a newbie.
Doesn't know, diddly squat, comes in with a lot of rosy ideals and so forth, and then meets the reality of the way the place works.
That's why I say that the election is one thing, but starting in November 3rd, that's a whole different phase of this.
And it will be interesting to watch how the assimilation takes place.
This is, by the way, this is not, I don't misunderstand me here.
I'm not being critical per se of the leadership and how it operates.
This is what leadership does.
They're the leaders for a reason.
They've been elected leaders by the members of the House.
They're going to be running for their own re-elections, Speaker, whip, what have you.
And they're going to do whatever they have to do to win those elections.
And after they, if they win, they have the power.
Then guess what?
They run the place.
Pelosi runs the place.
You see how far the blue dogs are.
The blue dogs, the whole reason they were there was to give Pelosi the majority.
Rob Emanuel ran around the country and made sure that conservative Democrats ran in conservative districts across the country, beating Republicans, so that they have a D by their name, give Pelosi the majority, and then she ran the shop.
And the blue dogs, whether they hung together or not, had not much to say about it.
And Pelosi ended up hating them, if you recall.
And yet they were Democrats.
It's the way of the world.
I'm just letting you know that it's going to happen again as we keep a sharp eye.
Right on, we're back.
El Rushball, half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair.
I didn't know this was in the bumper rotation.
I'm glad it made it, though.
You know what this is?
Again, this is one of those songs.
I'm 11 or 12 years old.
I'm listening to it on the radio, wanting to be on the guy on the radio one day playing the song.
This is Telstar.
It was a song dedicated to our first satellite after Sputnik.
It's a British group by the, I think they call themselves a Tornadoes.
Tornadoes and Telstar.
It's like in 1962.
Anyway, it runs 3 minutes 13 seconds.
So we're not...
It is a forerunner to techno music.
It's exactly what it was.
It's a forerunner to techno.
Except this has a melody that you can kind of hum along to.
Makes you happy.
Doesn't want to go make you do a line of cocaine in a club.
No, no, no, no.
I just know that's what techno music does.
I've seen it, but I don't do it.
Tornadoes and Telstar, dedicated to our first satellite.
And we put up there after Sputnik.
All right, let's go back to the phones here.
If you like the song, it's enough to tempt you to go out and download it.
Here's Jan in the Bay Area, San Francisco.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I want to congratulate you, first of all, on your marriage to such a wonderful and classy lady.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you're doing to proclaim the truth and promote liberty throughout this great country of ours.
Thank you very much.
And much to the dismay of Caddy Kay, I'd like to sing your praises a little.
A group called Liberty and Freedom Foundation brought Sarah Palin out here, and my daughters had the chance to play the harp for her and meet her.
And you know what they said when they came home?
It was hilarious.
Now all we have to do is meet Rush Limbaugh and we can rest in peace.
So you are dearly loved here.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
What I was calling about was all this voter fraud.
You led off today with that story from Nevada.
We've heard about military ballots not being mailed out.
We've heard about instructions not being printed in New York.
You know, it's just kind of adding up and it's looking really scary.
And since you're the expert here, I thought I'd call you up.
Freedom Works just endorsed a candidate out here, Rick Tubbs, and he's running against a 35-year incumbent, which I happen to live in is District 7 out here, George Miller.
George.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I know how much you love him.
Yeah.
So he's, you know, he holds some really key positions there, chairmanships, education, labor, natural resources.
You know, things aren't looking too good in the areas that George is in charge of.
And this guy's mounting a campaign that's awesome.
And for the first time in years, Miller is actually having to get out and campaign.
He's a little angry.
And I went to one of his debates in his own hometown full of SEIU workers.
And a lot of them were brought in from San Francisco, given a nice dinner, given their t-shirts.
And some of these guys in the audience said to us, you know, you're running a great campaign.
And we know it's neck and neck, which is, you know, unheard of around here because this district is 48% Democrat, 26% Republican, percent Republican, and 24 independent declined estates.
So we're outnumbered two to one.
And they're running scared for the first time ever.
Miller's handing out his own flyers at our BART station, which is the equivalent of the Metro.
And I've never seen him mount a campaign in my life.
I've lived here, you know, 47 years.
I was born in his hometown, and I still live here.
And all his neighbors aren't voting for him.
If you drive down the street where he lives, there's Rick Tubbs signs up all over.
But what the SEI union workers said that really frightens me is, you know, you're running a great campaign, but we have ways to fix that at the ballot box.
And to me, that's a threat of voter fraud.
You know, I'm out there.
I'm going to vote.
I'm volunteering.
First time since college.
I walked precincts for B1 Bob Dornan.
And I'm going to go to the next one.
Let me tell you something.
Let me jump in here.
Yeah.
I don't know if this is going to be truthful here to in this case, the George Miller race.
But nationwide, the turnout is going to be such they can't cheat enough to stop what's going to happen.
Now, they may be able to protect a George Miller over here, Barney Frank in Massachusetts, but protecting somebody who won 77 to 21 last time, that was Miller's victory margin last time, 77-21.
Yeah.
And Miller, of course, a major proponent of card check, so he's got the SEIU in his back pocket.
He's a major union supporter.
And he's, George Miller, for those of you that don't know, if you weren't around paying attention, back in the 80s, during the Iran-Contra period, what was at stake there was Nicaragua going communist.
And the Soviets had a puppet installed down there, Danielle Ortega.
And Daniel Ortega would come to the United States for support, financial support, at cocktail parties in Manhattan.
He would go shopping on Fifth Avenue for sunglasses, being escorted by the musical trio, Peter, Paul, and Mary.
And they'd be throwing parties for him.
Now, what Miller's responsibility was during the Iran-Contra battle, every time that Danielle Ortega did something to embarrass the Democrats, who totally supported him and the Soviets and their attempt to have a beachhead in Nicaragua, every time Ortega did something publicly to embarrass the Democrats, it's George Miller that the Speaker of the House, Jim Jones at the time, would send down there to slap Ortega's face, saying, look, you can't keep embarrassing us this way.
We're going to keep supporting you.
You can't fly off to the Soviet Union two days after we vote for you and ask him for 500 million bucks.
So Miller, along with Jim Jones from Oklahoma, who then went to the American Stock Exchange, Fort Worth with Jim Wright, that whole crowd back then, the Boland Amendment, the anti-Reagan, they were doing everything they could to support the establishment of communist beachhead in Nicaragua.
And George Miller was the point man for him to go down there and slap Ortega's face, slap him around when he embarrassed him.
So that's who we're up against here.
And he won 77 to 21 two years ago.
So if they're having to cheat to keep him in office, I guarantee you they may succeed in his case.
But there's not enough fraud and cheating they can do to stop this tidal wave that's happening because they are not going to have the turnout.
They can't cheat enough to keep it secret.
They would have to cheat to the point that everybody would notice it.
Okay.
This is going to be huge.
Okay.
Well, I just know, like, the Black Panthers, I mean, overall, we really need to think about this because, you know, we're sending Jimmy Carter overseas to monitor elections.
Right.
We have people got it on tape where those Black Panthers were intimidating voters.
And our Justice Department won't prosecute.
So overall, long-term rush, what can we do to fight it?
Well, that's what I was going to say.
If you go vote next Tuesday and you run into some cheating, call the new Black Panthers.
You know, call them and report the problem.
Because we've learned now that this administration will look the other way when this bunch helps people cheat.
It's just so frustrating.
I thought maybe, you know, you had something else up your sleeve, but we'll come out in mass.
I'm rallying people.
Now, what were you hoping?
Honestly, now, what were you hoping would be my retort to the promised fraud to the SEIU?
Some super slick strategy.
I don't know.
I mean, it's just when you have to.
You don't need super slick.
You just need turnout.
Flood the zone.
Okay.
Just flood the zone.
There's no way that they, if you flood the zone out there, there's no way they can cheat enough to beat you.
That's my point.
Okay, so then tell people even here in my Liberal Bay area where they might go wobbly and get depressed that we can do it.
And I think a lot of prayer might help.
Are you running into some liberals that want to vote against George Miller?
No, actually, it's pretty funny.
All you have to do is talk about the economy.
And I say, it's not a Democrat or a liberal thing.
I'm worried about the economy.
I drag my little 10-year-old with me, and I point to her, and I say, you know what?
Somebody is going to have to pay, and it's her.
She's going to be indebted to the Chinese because of all this spending.
And I tell him about, you know, the debt being quadrupled just since, you know, he's taken office.
It's gone up how much?
Who will pay for it?
And I confronted George Miller after this debate.
And, you know, I kind of baited him.
I let him think I was on his side because I'm born right here in his hometown.
What did the Walrus say?
Oh, my gosh.
He was proud of his record.
You were saying earlier that they don't have anything to be proud of.
Now, he never mentioned Obama, Pelosi, or Reed or their agenda, but he wanted to let me know how much bacon he'd brought home here.
And, you know, my husband's business has been off 40%.
He works on straight commission.
And I said, my family cannot sustain this.
He sells auto and homeowners insurance.
And he came up with cash for clunkers.
And that didn't make a dent in my husband's business.
And it should have.
But, you know, it just, it was crazy.
And then once he figured out I was on the other side of the issues, he got very angry.
That's right.
You're the enemy.
Very arrogant.
Yes.
And all of a sudden, he tried to walk away from me twice.
And I just kept coming back at him.
And here it is.
I'm with you.
See?
All you have to take away from it, once he found out who you are, he knew that there is no way that he could talk to you, man-to-man, woman-to-woman, whatever, and tell you, no, ma'am, you misunderstand.
Here are all the great things that we've done.
Here are the wonderful things I've done in the past few.
He couldn't do.
He has to run away from you.
Flood the zone.
Just flood the zone.
Every district, next Tuesday, flood the zone.
And take some, you know, take, get some people dressed up as new Black Panthers and take them with you.
Just not inside.
Just take them with you.
See what happens.
You never know.
Telstar was the first communications satellite.
There were other SPY satellites that went up before Telstar, but Telstar was the first communications satellite put up there after Sputnik vote fraud.
How does it happen?
Yesterday afternoon, Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, in Washington on her MSNBC show, talking to the Democrat Party chairman of Philadelphia, Bob Brady.
And she said, What is the secret here to turn out?
I mean, the old days, in the old machine days, it used to be what we call walking around money, handing on money to people to get people to the voting place.
That's still the case.
What do you do?
What's the magic of the Democrat machine in Philadelphia?
We still have the street money, and we're very knowledgeable, and we pay attention, and Democrats surge.
We surge toward the end.
That's why our polls have been surging upward.
And once a surge goes upward, it doesn't go backwards.
All right, so that's the guy running the show in Philadelphia.
Andrea Mitchell realizes here she's just stepped in it.
She's just basically you're buying votes, right?
You know, walking around money.
Guys, oh, yeah, we still have that.
She said, you used to have walking around.
Oh, no, we still got walking around money.
So Andrea Mitchell said, well, I got to fix this.
And so here's how she did it.
One quick question.
We talked about street money, walking around money, whatever you want to call it.
What actually does that buy?
What the street money does is give our committee people, gives them resources to put people to work on the polls.
They go out, they knock on doors, they get their street list, they check who did vote, who didn't vote.
It's extremely effective, as it's always been, and it will be extremely effective come Tuesday.
So this is just to clarify, you're not buying votes.
You're paying people to go out and knock on doors and get people to the polls.
We're paying people to work on Election Day, as we always do.
Yeah.
Putting people to work at the polls.
Putting people to work at the means, buying cigarettes and buying them gift cards.
Is that what this means?
Here, here's 50 bucks.
Go to work at the polls.
Here's 50 bucks.
Go knock on doors.
Yeah, right.
It's all stimulus money from Obama's stash anyway.
I mean, that's where the walking around money is coming from.
Make no doubt.
Steve in Omaha, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Mr. Limbaugh, so nice to speak to you again.
We recently had a nice dialogue, you and me, about the Jim Crow South, who and what Jim Crow really was.
But speaking to today's topic about Obama's speech to Univision, I believe the Republicans are really missing the boat by conceding the Hispanic vote to the Democrats.
The fact of the matter is that Hispanics are one of the core, the potential core constituencies of the Republican Party.
And here's why.
Number one, they're very strongly pro-family.
Number two, they are truly religious, not just on Sundays, but they really live it.
Number three, they're incredibly hard-working people.
They're the hardest working people I've ever been around.
Number four, they are fanatically devoted to the American dream and all that entails.
And number five, and most important, they have a very strong streak of stubborn individualism.
You add these all five together, and what do you come up with?
A natural-born conservative.
They are naturally conservative.
Republicans need to identify this, realize this, and capitalize on it.
Now, wait a second here.
For the best I can tell, the way the Republicans think they have to get the Hispanic vote is to, like McCain did, be in favor of amnesty and letting the illegals become legal.
And I believe that is a long-headed strategy.
That is a wrong-headed strategy.
It's short-sighted.
It doesn't capitalize on the characteristics and behavioral traits of Islamic America.
Here's the problem.
Look at it.
You may be exactly right.
But we got to get some of the Republicans to that point first before they can go out and sell it.
Ladies and gentlemen, today, I think, is Hillary Clinton's birthday, and she is in Austria having nothing to do.
With whatever the Democrats are doing on the ground to help avoid devastating losses next Tuesday.
She's not going to be back in the country until November 7th.
She's out of here.
Everybody who backstabbed her during the 08 race is either going down like the Titanic right now or in the absolute fights of their lives, and she is not lifting a finger to help any of them.
