Time Text
So John Kerry says that I have created a nation, led a nation of know nothings, and that we are a country in know nothingness.
Yeah, right.
Well, Senator Kerry, the haughty Senator Kerry, who served in Vietnam, certainly knew enough to pick the Breck girl as his vice presidential running mate to be a heartbeat away.
That's knowing a lot.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And I promise we will get to your phone calls today.
Open line Friday.
For those of you new to the program, here are the rules.
Monday through Thursday.
Callers have to be discussing something I care about.
If they don't, they don't stand a prayer of getting on the air.
Time is too precious.
I'm not going to sit here and talk about things that bore me because then you would be bored.
Can't have that.
Plus, I don't want to be bored.
But on Friday, I take one of the greatest career risks ever taken by a major American media figure.
And that is turning over the content of the most listened to radio talk show in America to you, rank amateurs.
Lovable rank amateurs, but nevertheless, in a professional sense, rank amateurs.
And that's what it's all about.
If I don't care about it, it doesn't matter.
It's I'll either fake caring about it, or I'll let you know I don't care about it.
Oh, I'm I will have to make that choice today.
Let me look at the board to see what we got up there.
North Carolina.
Okay, values voters.
I'm part of a weird push-poll.
Uh why are 800 people going to Obama to India?
The question is, are they coming back?
They're taking 40 aircra airplanes over.
40 airplanes.
That sounds like an escape.
That sounds like Obama going into exile.
Uh Rush Baby, remember story I related in my take on violent video games ban in California.
I'm more interested in Josh Hamilton, the outfielder for the Texas Rangers, said he could smell doobies.
In the crowd in San Francisco, the World Series game, he could smell a marijuana while he's playing in the outfield.
Yeah.
There.
I mean, there's no question is uh that that that's going on out there.
You know, does anybody doubt that there's bongs and pipes and doobies running around the cubicles at Comedy Central?
Anybody doubt that?
Why would why would you doubt that they're blowing a little weed at the World Series in San Francisco?
Josh Hamill who claims he can smell it.
You can you you most certainly can smoke marijuana anywhere you want in California.
You can't smoke a cigarette.
You can't smoke a cigar, but nobody's gonna stop you blowing a little weed.
Not at all.
All right, here's Senator Kerry uh unleashed a broadside yesterday against Republican obstructionism, saying the GOP and his talk show allies have created a period of know-nothing-ism in the country, with his party braced for defeats in the midterms.
The uh haughty presidential nominee from 2004 told the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
What's he doing speaking to the Chamber of Commerce?
Doesn't he know that they're the enemy?
The Chamber of Commerce is the enemy of Obama.
They're taking foreign money.
The regime says so.
But anywhere, there's Kerry out there talking to them, and he says a Republican machine fueled by me and Glenn Beck has undermined progress and misled the public into believing that Democrats created the country's current economic problems.
Well, why would anybody think that?
Do you realize you people are not smart enough?
You who can't find a job, you who cannot get a raise, you who see prices going up left and right, you who see what you see.
You're not smart enough to know why it's happening.
You have to be told by me.
This is where they've always misunderstood the reason, at least for my success.
I don't know any others, but the reason for my success is that I validate what people already think.
People are happy to listen to this show because somebody thinks like they do.
Meaning they're not mind-numbed robots out there.
We do our own brand of education here.
I mean, this is the Limboy Institute.
Advanced conservative studies.
I'm not denying that.
But this is not a bunch of mind numbers.
Robots are some of the smartest people and the thirstiest.
Hungry is for knowledge people out there, and they find it here.
Kerry singled out a tax on an energy deal.
This is ATTACKS.
Singled out a tax on an energy deal that he was negotiating with Republicans, which fell apart amid criticism of an emissions trading program.
This is cap and trade.
Some 20 Senate candidates are now opposing the proposed deal in their campaigns.
They're opposing it because they know it might cost them their job.
It might thrust them into automobiles they don't want to have to buy.
They might have to use light bulbs they don't want to have to use.
And their utility bills are going to skyrocket.
Carrie said it's absurd.
We've lost our minds.
The Boston Globe says here is clearly exasperated.
We're in a period of no-nothingism in this country where truth and science and facts don't weigh in.
It's all short order.
Lowest common denominator, cheap seat politics.
To underscore his claim, he said stats show Republicans had blocked Senate bidnings with filibuster tactics more than, during the past 18 months, more than the period between the end of World War I and the Apollo moon landing in 69.
The obstructionism is stunning.
Senator, you guys had 60 votes for a year.
You have 59 votes now.
The Republicans could not stop you at anything.
This is just plain old sour grapes.
Carrie said, no nothing's gets stuck in a rock.
Here's the quote from back in October 2006.
You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.
If you don't, you get stuck in a rock.
Remember that quote from Senator Kerry.
I think it was in Northern California or Seattle.
How Senator Kerry, what in the world have we stopped?
We had health care rammed our throats.
We got this financial regulatory reform bill, and now we got you guys coming back, perhaps in a lame duck session, a ram robbing all this other stuff that nobody wants.
Senator Kerry, you are governing against the will of the people.
Limbaugh and Beck did not immediately respond to emails sent to the public addresses on their websites.
Now, every...
Yeah, I missed that email in the you know, we got a hundred thousand in an account every day.
I somehow missed it.
Did no, I am responding now.
I I don't want to respond.
Just laughing at it.
I think I think this is this is statists.
These are totalitarians, these are authoritarians, they just can't stand being rejected like this.
Let's go to the open uh to the uh audio sound bites here as Open Line Friday continues.
Uh last night on the Discovery Channel's Cash Cab Game Show.
Have you heard of the show?
Cash Cab?
You have HR, you watch the show.
What what what briefly explain what cash cab?
I'm thinking cab taxi cab.
What's what's cash cab?
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh.
You actually do get in a cab, the cab rides free, and they ask you questions while you're in the cab.
Pop culture question.
And if you if you answer correctly, they let you out of the cab.
What's the pro?
Oh.
I see.
Win cash awards and the Indian double or nothing.
Sounds like my know you Bible contest or know your American history contest.
I know there's double your money routine.
I know how that works.
If you lose, they drop you off downtown and say you're on your own.
Okay, so Discovery Channel's Cash Cab Game Show.
During the uh during the game, the host Ben Bailey had this exchange with a male contestant.
What conservative radio host tried to disrupt the Democratic primaries with a plot called Operation Chaos.
Rush Limbaugh, pretty sure.
Okay.
Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh is correct.
And you're up to 100.
Oh, thank you, Rush Limbaugh.
100.
Rush Limbaugh, thank you, Rush Limbaugh.
Good thing happens to good.
Here's Nicole Wallace's back.
By the way, I started reading her book last night.
18 acres.
This is about uh first female president whose husband is having an affair with somebody in the media.
And nobody knows about it.
The Secret Service knows, but they never blab.
As we all know, Secret Services, network JFK, Secret Service, they knew it, saw it all, but they didn't say a word about it.
They only care if the affair is carrying with a weapon.
And then they move into action.
So I started, I started reading it uh late last night.
And it very early on, as she kind of sneaks, sneaks in this fact that there is an affair going on.
Uh kind of sneaks in the fact that one of the male characters early on is the first dude.
Uh at any rate, she was on John King USA last night, panel discussion about the 2010 midterm elections.
She's also on there with Gloria Borger.
And Borger says, you know, we've seen more of this president.
Imam Obama than any president I can recall.
We see him every day, one way or another.
He is buried underneath the weight of his agenda, which alienated the people who elected him, the independent voters.
Rush Limbaugh gave a speech in the early days of the Obama presidency.
It was the CPAC speech.
It was covered wall-to-wall by this network and others, and everyone focused on him saying, I hope Obama fails.
He meant, I hope the agenda fails, and it has failed with the public.
The public and the independents especially are completely dissatisfied and turned off by the expansion of the role of the federal government in American life.
Absolutely true, and it's borne out the polling data, the Monmouth University poll in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell is up 45 to 42.
Independence over the Marxist with a beard, Chris Coons.
4542 independence.
But it's not just independence abandoning.
It's women, it's Republicans, it's Democrats.
Everybody is abandoning.
In fact, TheHill.com has one of the funniest stories of the day about Republicans who still support Obama.
It's like Colin Powell and 16 others.
Stop it.
And they actually have the story of Republicans who still support Obama.
It's as though it's a positive thing for Obama.
And they're still behind him after all this.
And it and it's it's not lost.
It is not lost.
Last night on PMS, the NBC, uh, the guest, Slate Magazine political reporter Dave Weigel.
And the uh toy, I guess they're talking about Congress after the elections.
The question why, why do Democrats believe that Republicans will work with them and compromise on legislation, even as Republicans say they definitely will not do that?
You get the uh uh the mindset here that Republicans are gonna win big, and the question is why do Democrats believe Republicans will work with him?
Well, to the extent that Democrats do believe it, it's because of experience.
Uh it's called McCain, it's called Lindsey Grahamnesty.
It's called Susan Collins, it's called Olympia Snow, it's called Lisa Murkowski.
That's why they think so.
Anyway, here is Weigel's answer.
What Republicans are doing is reacting.
They're being led by their base.
I was driving around Wisconsin early this week covering those campaigns, and Rush Limbaugh was saying, these guys on TV who were saying Republicans should compromise, it's a trick to get you to stop voting.
What he was doing is egging on people to demand that Republicans, any time they're asked about this, are completely once more into the breach, completely unforgiving on anything.
That's right.
He got it right.
There's no compromise.
Where on what with this administration with this regime would you want to compromise with?
Led by your base?
That means be a representative.
Imagine that.
Republicans are being led by their base rather than governing against their base, rather than governing against the will of the people.
Isn't that the way it's supposed to happen?
I know.
I'm trying to figure out your sign language in there, what you were talking about.
And if it relates to me, because it looked dangerous.
Yeah, I I know about all the uh cargo planes and the mysterious packages, Dubai, uh United Kingdom, Yemen.
There's not much to say about it yet because we don't know.
When we know what's going on here, we know what's in the packages.
We know this is something real.
Um obviously at something time to our election, whatever whatever this is, and we do know that that uh Middle Eastern liberals uh pretty much echo the playbook of uh American liberals.
There's obviously a joint operation going on here somehow, but I'm not gonna until we know this definitely.
Officials say that two UPS trucks in Brooklyn and Queens are under investigation, have been cleared.
Uh we got FedEx uh in the in in Dubai, Mumbai, all of these mysterious packages are popping up everywhere.
We don't know what's in them, and we don't know where they came from, if it's a hoax.
So yeah, I'm aware of it, folks, but I'm not gonna devote the whole show to a loop of there are mysterious packages on cargo planes, and the authorities are trying to figure them out.
I mean, that's basically the story right now.
Everything else is speculation.
To the phones we go to Waynesboro, Virginia.
Up first is Tom, and it's nice to have you, sir.
Welcome.
Great to be here, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
Hey, you're right, Rush.
You remember the 2004 election when the exit polling showed just a huge amount of voters citing values as their primary concerns?
Everybody in the media was just shocked by this.
Nobody got it.
Where'd these people come from, right?
Well, I've had I've had like seven conversations recently with seasoned citizens, and every one of them spoke unprompted about the cultural rot that's taking place around us.
They don't understand how their grandkids think Obama walks on water.
They don't understand how people can milk the system and continually just think that there'd be somebody else to pay for them.
They just don't get it.
Every one of them, Rush, down the line.
I think they're gonna come out and vote.
I I just what do you think?
Well, there's no question the seasoned citizens do vote.
Uh that's the largest turnout group, virtually every election, because most of them depend on government functioning properly for their survival.
You know what else, Rush?
Well, no, what?
Well, you know that their their biggest trick with the with the tell them that Medicare and Medicaid are gonna be cut and the Republicans are gonna pull the plug on you.
Well, I know they're told that every year.
Just that this is but it that I think that stopped working a long time ago.
If that worked, Republicans would not have won Florida all these years.
That they've gone to the well too many times on that.
You can only cry wolf so many times that the wolf doesn't make any noise.
You can only say Republicans to cut your social security so many times until people realize the Republicans aren't going to cut your social security.
Now I do remember I've 2002 or 2004, there was in the exit polling data, values voters made the difference.
I remember the Democrats saying, yeah, well, we gotta for the couple days after the election that promised to um uh change their view on values uh and find out where they were lagging and fix it, of course.
That went by the wayside.
Uh but and uh I think there are probably some surprises in this.
I I was watching uh Hannity last night, and uh Frank Lunz had one of his focus groups, and there's always it was in Cleveland, and I was stunned if this if this was a representative, if Lunz actually put together an accurate cross section of the population of Cleveland in that focus group, Then folks, we have no idea how bad it is for the Democrats.
I'm virtually 90% of the people in that room, I could swear.
I I looked at Catherine.
I said, these people I'm listening to myself as I hear as I hear these people talk as they answer Lunz's questions.
I said, I'm I'm hearing myself talk every damn one of them.
Republican Democrat, um there was there was one African American in there trying to hold on for Obama, but he was being ganged up on.
I this Cleveland.
I know Ohio's in awful shape.
I know Cleveland's, but my gosh, Cleveland.
I mean, that's that's Democrat stronghold.
And I said, if Lunz's group was representative, then this is gonna be bigger and in in more surprising ways than anybody is even calculating right now.
And I'm every damn one of these people answered a focus group question.
They sound like us folks, every word.
Welcome back.
It's open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity while executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero.
Mistakes.
We have a press release from Robert Fibbs, the White House press secretary.
Last night, intelligence and law enforcement agencies discovered potential suspicious packages on two planes in transit to the United States.
Based on close cooperation among U.S. government agencies and with our foreign allies and partners, authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in London, one in Dubai.
Both originated in Yemen as a result of security precautions triggered by the threat.
The additional measures were taken regarding flights at Newark Liberty and Philadelphia International Airports.
The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 1035 by uh John Brennan, assistant to the president for Homeland Security.
They didn't want to wait till 3 a.m.
President's not ready at 3 a.m.
They had to tell him at 1035 last night.
Uh the uh Department of Homeland Security, among others, took steps to ensure the safety and security of the American people and to determine whether these threats are part of uh any additional terrorist plotting.
A president is now asking why would they do this.
We must understand their race.
Look at it could well be.
All these packages, and and a lot of them are now being announced as uh as nothing.
Planes are being cleared to fly, nothing found in the packages.
Uh maybe the terrorists heard Obama say we could withstand another terrorist attack is okay, fine.
If you can handle it, here we come.
He did say that.
Our previous caller, uh, the media ratcheting up fear, the Tea Party closing down the government.
The reason for that is because seasoned citizens rely on the government.
Most seniors depend on the government.
All seniors depend on the government far more than than any other typical demographic group.
So that's why everybody on the on the Democrat side is saying that the Tea Parties and the Republicans want to shut down government and all that.
It's just the typical fear campaign.
It's striking.
They can't even oppose the Republicans on issues.
They can't even tell people that what the Republicans want to do is horrible.
They have to go after them on a personal basis.
It's amazing.
By the way, from the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Sharon Angle winning the all-important independent voters by double digits, 55% to 38%, as Nevadans not aligned with either major party swing her way as they settle on a choice.
So the polling data for Sharon Angle is improving.
Dingy Harry is countering with huge efforts to get out his voters.
Problem is the numbers of his voters are dwindling.
Melissa in Houston.
It's great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Yes, I've read that something like 800 people are going on this Indian trip with the president.
And I was just wondering who are these people?
Why are they all leaving the country?
And what is going to be the cost of All this too.
Well, we know this.
We know that forty airplanes are being utilized, including both Air Force Ones.
Both marine ones are being disassembled and flown over there on cargo planes, as is the Obama mobile, the official presidential limousine, and here two or three of those.
You gotta know that a lot of Secret Service are going, uh White House staff.
I I haven't seen the number 800.
Okay.
I read that, I guess, on Politico, but you said something like 500.
Well, they're taking the whole Taj Mahal.
Yeah, 520 rooms in the hot in the Taj Mahal.
Mm-hmm.
And then there were additional hotels, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
Basically, it it sounds like a government in exile.
It's there the like I said, the question to me is are they coming back?
I mean, this is It's not being covered.
It's very curious.
Well, it it it to an extent, I mean it it's being reported, otherwise we uh we wouldn't we wouldn't know.
I I maybe they're more afraid of uh November 2nd than we thought, because this trip starts, what, two or three days after the election.
Yes.
Uh clearly the uh president doesn't want to be anywhere near the scene of the disaster.
But it would be good to know who these people are.
Yeah, well, it's I think it booked 800 rooms, you're right.
So I who this regime has a lot of people in it that we don't know.
All of these czars, none of them have to go through confirmation hearings.
One thing for sure, though, it wouldn't take it wouldn't take a whole lot of work to round up eight hundred government people.
I mean, we are it's we're infested with them.
They're like cockroaches, they're all over the place.
You know, finding eight hundred of them to take on a trip would not be hard.
Forty.
Forty aircraft.
Forty.
I think I'm sure that includes the press contingent, too, but still forty aircraft and the teleprompter.
For the first time ever, a teleprompter is going to be used in the Indian Parliament building.
Corey in Waterville, Ohio.
Welcome.
Open line Friday.
Great to have you here with us.
Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Uh, I just wanted to see if I could get your opinion on there's uh there's a Supreme Court case that's gonna be uh pulled up on Tuesday about uh it's called Schwarzenegger versus the Entertainment Merchants Association.
And essentially what it's saying is the government will now have the ability to regulate video games, and they are not protected under the First Amendment because they're deemed to have no uh artistic literary or any kind of value to any type of uh demographic, so they don't apply to the First Amendment.
Do you think that this is even a relevant thing that the Supreme Court should ever be even considering?
Well, they are considering it.
You know what I would say to you?
I don't and I don't I don't mean to be a smart aleck here.
I re I really, really don't.
But I want to tell you something.
You're 21 years old, it says here, is that right?
Yes.
All right.
Now I'm fifty-nine.
As long as I've been an adult since I was twenty-one, I have been concerned about the infringements on free speech that come from Democrat regimes and courts, because I'm in the free speech business.
I've been concerned about the reimposition of the fairness doctrine.
I am glad this is happening.
If it takes an impingement on free speech in something you're interested in, video games, to alert you to what's happening throughout society, then I'm glad it's happening.
Because I'm sure you oppose this.
Your video game is your video game, and you don't think the government should have any role whatsoever in applying any artistic sanction to it or any we uh stamp of approval, you can say that, but you can't say that because that's not permitted.
The market should determine this, correct?
Yes.
If you want to buy something raunchy in a video game, you should be allowed to.
And if it's too raunchy, the market won't support it, fine.
It dies.
If the market likes it, then we got a cultural problem to deal with, but the government ought to have nothing to do with it.
You right?
You agree?
Yes.
Okay, then join me any time the government tries to impinge on anybody's speech.
Join me when the government tries to tell you you can't eat trans fat.
Join me when the government gets involved in all these other behavioral and speech things that they try to tell you and control us we can't do what kind of car we have to drive, whether or not we're responsible for global warming, the kind of light bulb we have to have where our thermostats are.
Get on board, my buddy.
If it's taken a video game to get you interested to have the light go off to have you see what liberalism's all about, I'm glad to have you on our side, because I agree with you.
Leave your game alone.
The people that put together these video games are artists in their own right.
If you're going to start saying that that video games are raunchy, then how the hell do you leave cable television alone?
That's that's one of the things that the Entertainment Merchants Association and all sorts of uh the RIAA, the MPAA, they're all saying the exact same thing.
Exactly right.
How the hell do you leave?
If you're gonna tell people they can't watch a raunchy video game, then how do you allow 90% of what's on HBO or show time in terms of their original programming.
So welcome to conservatism.
Oh, I'm I'm no uh I I've I've been a conservative as far as I know for my whole life.
I've been raised like that.
Awesome.
And tell your friends that this is where this is where the battle is, and uh you're familiar with the Constitution, make sure they are.
Great.
Thanks for the call.
I gotta run open line Friday.
We will be back.
Don't go away.
Back to the phones open line Friday, and this is Asheville, North Carolina.
This is where the Biltmore estate is.
Uh one of the uh largest Vanderbilt mansions.
Oh, yeah, it uh Asheville exists because it was the town created where the people that built the place lived.
Railroad, railroad winner.
You ought to visit this place if you I mean 250 rooms.
Two hundred and fifty rooms in the house.
Uh Brian from Ashville, great to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hi, thank you, Rush.
Uh, long time listener, and uh I got a strange call last night.
It was one of those uh robo uh polls where they asked me if I was aware that the speaker of the house could be chosen from somebody who was not a member of the House of Representatives.
That kind of threw up a flag for me, but uh I couldn't, you know, I couldn't say anything because it we it was a recording.
But I got to uh pick one through five, you know, hit one through five on my on my phone.
Uh the one was Sarah Palin, uh Ron Paul, uh David Petraeus, Newt Gangrich, and Rush Limbaugh.
And so then after uh I you know made my choice, uh the the caller told me that uh would I be willing to call my representative and you know kind of push him a little bit to go along with with this thing.
Well, my representative is uh he's voted for Pelosi twice, he's Schuler, and he's voted for Pelosi trice, and he's gotten trying to get himself out of this box.
So he he says he's gonna run for speaker, so I don't think he'd go along with me if I called him, so I haven't called him.
But I'm wondering what you think about this.
I couldn't find this in the Constitution, because I went straight to the Constitution to look for it.
I couldn't find it.
But I'm sure it's in there because I was told earlier.
I don't, I don't think this is true.
You can be a member of the Supreme Court without having to be a lawyer.
Yeah, I know that.
Uh or without having been a judge, uh speaker in the house without being a representative.
That's the first I've heard of this.
But anyway, they had a multiple choice you could choose from five different people to be a speaker.
Yes, sir.
That's what it was.
And then after you made your choice, they wanted you to if you'd be willing to call your representative and say what?
You you'd you press one for he asked me if I would call my representative and try and you know convince him this would be a great thing to do, but and then one for yes, two for no, or okay.
Well, we're uh look, we're looking at it here.
There you're right.
There is no specific requirement in the Constitution that the speaker must also be a current member of the House.
However, there's never been a circumstance where that was the case.
Every speaker has been an elected representative.
The best I can do.
Now that I know that I could run for speaker.
And I don't have to be elected to office in order to pull that off.
Well, I no, I I think what they'd have to do is they the House of Representatives would have to vote for you.
Well, I know.
That's what I mean.
But I mean I would I wouldn't have to spend any money campaigning in a district like Florida for and then go there and be elected, then run if I just start my speaker campaign right here.
Well, I listened to you talk about, you know, the agenda that you would be telling whoever it's gonna be to run yesterday.
Yeah and I thought right on.
Uh why not just Well I know who could disagree with that agenda?
Well, I couldn't.
But why not just go do it yourself?
You want something done right?
Well, they'll look at their downsides to this.
A, I'm sure it'd be a huge pay cut.
B, you have to be there every day.
C, you have to sit there and be on camera for an hour and a half every January during the State of the Union speech, while you don't say anything, have to sit next to the vice president, it'd be bite me uh for the next.
You can't make faces except oh, I I'd make faces that bite me.
Uh but I I don't know who's doing this poll.
Who would who would be in my competition for speaker?
Colin Powell.
Newt might do it.
You know, once once people figure out they could be speaker without having to be elected to Congress.
Thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
Brian, uh, this is Paul in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
A great place to get a call from on Halloween weekend.
Ross, it's an honor.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Uh the reason why I'm calling is um I'm I'm against Operation Reverse Chaos, because I think in 2012, in our lifetime, this is our one and only chance to have a conservative third party that can win.
I've always been against third parties because I think that just breaks up our voting base and we lose.
But I think Obama will be so toxic that w that if we have a true conservative like a Sarah Palin or a Jim DeMin, we can win and destroy liberalism for generations.
Yeah, but you have to do it within the Republican Party or make the Republican Party the third party.
I you you you you you don't you don't want to get elected as a third party president.
You don't have any constituency in Congress, anybody else in your party.
Third party really is not the way to go here.
It really the thing to do here is what's happening.
A conservative ascendancy that creeps up and eventually takes over the Republican Party.
Now, folks, I want to tell you something here.
Where did I see this?
Oh, oh.
I didn't have a chance to reply to that.
I got a I got an email from Mike Allen of the Political last night.
They're working on a story, they may have already run it.
Some Republican leader has told them that the Republican leadership is right now as we speak, coalescing to find somebody to oppose Sarah Palin.
They didn't identify whoever this Republican leader is, so I can't tell you who it is, but they say that there's a Republican talking to them at Politico, that they are trying to find somebody to beat back Palin from the Republican establishment because they are convinced that if Palin is the nominee, the party loses.
That's at least their what they say.
Uh it could also be they're scared to death if Palo wins, Palo, it's the end of them.
Uh the Republican establishment.
And Mike Allen wanted to take one of my reply, and I've and I got I got his email in the midst of all the whole bunch of other stuff.
I was I just now remembered it, so I haven't had a chance to reply.
But uh let's see.
You know, I uh you you this this kind of thing, uh I think the reason I didn't drop everything in reply is because the little antenna go up could be a disinformation campaign before the election.
Why wear a story right now about Palin in 2012?
What's the point of running a story like that right now?
Uh if if if not, then to sow dissension uh in the uh in the ranks.
But regardless of that, you don't want to go Third party, you don't want to do it.
It's gonna be tempting.
Third party, you had it right the first time.
Guaranteed lose back after this.
Look, folks, no matter how you look at these packages on the airplane story, it's either done by terrorists as a dry run, or all of this is being hyped by our government.
If if it's the terrorists, then who are they trying to help right before the election?
What are they trying to affect here?
And if it's the government hyping it, then it's clear the administration thinks that this will help them, that this will help Democrats.
