Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
What do you think is more important to the media right now?
At least of these two choices.
There are probably more choices than this.
But as I gaze and study, and I do that a lot, what's more important to the media trying to convince us that bin Laden was still in charge of al-Qaeda or trying to convince us that Obama was in charge of the raid that killed him?
You think they're working harder on that?
They're working overtime on trying to convince us that Obama was in charge of the raid that killed him, even though we all know it was Panetta.
Shows leadership.
In fact, they're even calling him a cowboy now.
Chris Matthews got some, yeah, Washington Post guy to call Obama a cowboy.
Grab him sound by number seven.
Yeah, absolutely right.
This is Sunday morning on the syndicated Chris Matthews show.
And they were talking about Obama and the death of Osama, which happened because Obama shot Osama.
And there's this little exchange that they had.
This is David Ignatius of the Washington Post.
I felt watching the president Sunday night that there's an American archetype of the strong, silent person, the person who's reticent but conveys strength, the cowboy.
Gary Cooper, Matt Dillon.
I saw Obama's a little bit of that cowboy.
So you may be right.
Gary Dylan, Gary Cooper, Matt Dillon.
Being a cowboy, isn't that why we elected Obama to get rid of cowboys?
No, the idea that the American president's a cowboy, I mean, that's not cool.
That's not good.
That's how we lost our values in the world.
That's how we lost our respect around the world.
We had this cowboy guy from Texas.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, they can try to convince me a lot, but that Barack Obama's a cowboy, that almost might put me in a good mood.
I just, I can't, of all the things that they are trying.
And then let's move.
Let's just move ahead here.
I'm already out of order with the sound bites, given what I told the broadcast institute to move to number five.
This is just this, this is last night on 60 Minutes.
This is Obama discussing the planning of the raid that got Osama.
This was in a residential neighborhood.
I mean, one of the ironies of this is, you know, I think the image that bin Laden had tried to promote was that he was an ascetic living in a cave.
This guy was living in a million-dollar compound in a residential neighborhood.
He was living in a pigsty.
I mean, for crying out loud, he was living in a glorified hut.
He wants to continue with this notion of a million-dollar compound in a residential neighborhood.
Folks, it was a pigsty.
By the way, I'm not trying to offend Muslim sensibilities here.
Pigsty has been around long before I was aware that that had some sort of possible problem with Muslims.
I mean, for crying out loud, dirty windows, half-eaten food on the floor, filthy clothes shoved under the unmade bed.
I mean, it looked worse than a teenage kid's room.
It looked like a crack house.
They continue with this business here that it was a million-dollar properly, a property.
And if it was a million-dollar property, was he paying his taxes?
Was he paying his fair share?
As far as the Pakistanis are concerned.
But, you know, obviously now they've got an image of bin Laden that they want to have continued.
They don't want the image of bin Laden living in a cave.
They want an image of bin Laden charismatic.
But how can we, I mean, we see this guy huddled in a cheap blanket, wearing a ski cap, watching television set in his pig style.
He looks like a bum in a homeless shelter somewhere.
And now, now I don't know if you've seen this.
Now they are trying to convince us that he was in total charge of al-Qaeda.
And that that pig sty where we see Bin Laden sitting was the command and control center.
That is the command and control center.
A couple of 14-inch analog TVs with rabbit ears.
A remote control for his satellite unit, for his satellite dish.
I just have a tough time buying the idea seeing bin Laden wrapped in his blanket, commanding his international network of operatives using his satellite TV and his 14-inch TV.
For crying out loud, they are really stretching this.
They are really asking us to believe a lot here.
They told us that no television, no phone lines in or out, no internet in or out.
Yet we also know we found out one of the videotapes, he's watching Al Jazeera, which happens to be Hillary's favorite network.
The U.S. Senate, he's watching C-SPAN and searching for himself on television, which is a lot like our own TV personalities here.
I mean, I give you a list of five or six.
What do you think they do when they're not hosting their shows?
They're at home trying to find themselves on TV and they watch themselves.
Now, Obama likes Al Jazeera.
He likes Al-Arabiya, and so does Hillary.
But that's, I guess, when you ask the question, what's more important to the media right now trying to convince us bin Laden was still in charge of Al-Qaeda or that Obama was in charge of the raid that killed him.
I guess it is the latter.
How are you doing, folks?
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
I, of course, the big voice on the right.
There are major rumblings in the news media today about the terrible trouble the Republican Party finds itself in.
Juan Williams was on Fox yesterday saying the Tea Party's finished, it's over with, that the Republicans are not on the same page, House and Senate Republicans, and even within the Senate Republican or House Republican caucus, not on the same page, that they're splitting apart because of Medicare, because of Paul Ryan's Medicare proposal.
In the Washington Post today, there's a blog published, Chris Salizza.
And it is obvious that both Republican Washington insiders, as well as Democrat power brokers, want the nominee to be Mitch Daniels.
By virtue of this very story that I hold here, Mitch Daniels, the man who could reshape the Republican field.
Now, Saliza writes this.
He goes out, quotes a couple of Republican consultants, campaign people.
Let me just give you a flavor for this.
Oh, before, here, grab Soundbite 18.
This sets it up.
This is Juan Williams, Fox News Sunday yesterday during the panel, Chris Wallace said, are the House Republican leaders that you've talked to worried that the Medicare thing is going to end up being an albatross around their necks?
Yeah, but let me tell you, they're trying to walk away and aggressively so.
And I think this is a sea change in this regard.
The Tea Party folks who have been the dynamic force driving the Republican Party and driving negotiate to the, obviously, to the midterm election victories and driving the discussion about budget and cuts no longer have that power because of what happened at town hall meetings.
And now you see Boehner, Cantor, and others reasserting themselves in terms of saying, let's make deals.
Let's actually do government.
I think that's good news for America.
Oh, man, there's so much there.
Let's reasserting themselves now.
The Republican leadership, Cantor and Boehner, and what Juan Williams means saying, screw you, Tea Party, screw you and your rigidness and screw you and making us do what you want.
We're going to go back to being good Republicans.
We're going to make deals.
We're going to make deals with the Democrats where we lose because that's how good government's defined.
That's the point from Juan Williams.
Couple stories.
Politico.
GLP clarifies.
We are on the same page.
This week, House Republicans lost their grip on messaging.
The slipping started when a Washington Post story reported that Majority Leader Eric Cantor planned to take Medicare off the table.
That would be akin to just throwing Paul Ryan overboard.
The Post, Washington Post, corrected a headline that Cantor's team said was misleading, but that didn't stop the onslaught.
Then there is from the Los Angeles Times another story saying the Republicans are in retreat.
GOP finding it hard to make progress.
Republicans struggle to appease the right and appeal to the center, resulting in fits and starts in the party's agenda.
Their retreat on Medicare is a prime example.
And also, in this story, you will read about how conservative media is trying to dispirit everybody.
Oh, yes.
Conservatives who oppose compromise are adding to the Republican difficulties.
Well, yeah, well, who's that?
So you see what's being set up here.
You see what's being set up here.
The Republicans can't survive, even though they won in a landslide with independence, but already they're losing the independence for doing what everybody who voted for them said they were going to do.
Somehow, doing what you said you were going to do is how you lose your voters.
Well, now stop and think about this for a second.
Before you get on to me, stop and think about this for a second.
Think about the template, the narrative here that's being created.
Republicans, in trying to do what they were elected to do, are angering the people who voted for them.
That's what the story is about.
If the independents are leaving, why?
Why the independents abandon Obama and go to the Republicans?
They don't like this profligate spending.
They want this brought under control.
So here comes Paul Ryan with his Medicare proposal.
And oh, no, no, no, I can't have that.
So now the story is that doing exactly what voters, Tea Party, Juan Williams, Tea Party's gone.
Tea Party has no power.
People ticked off at the Peak Party.
Republicans weren't making deals before, but now the Republicans are making deals.
Good government gets done.
Yeah, Republicans are splitting apart here, finding it hard to make progress, retreating on Medicare.
Conservatives who oppose compromise are adding to the Republican difficulties.
This story is all about how the Republican leadership just wishes the Tea Party and everybody just shut up and let us do our jobs here.
There's some compromising we have to do.
Which takes us to Chris Taliz's piece, Mitch Daniels, the man who could reshape the Republican field.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels continues to keep the political world waiting, saying recently that he will announce within weeks whether he will run for president in 2012.
His decision, which could come as soon as Thursday at the Indiana Republican Party Spring Dinner, where his wife Sherry will be the keynote speaker, could have an impact well beyond just one man saying yes or no.
The GOP presidential race has been defined by relative chaos and weakness among the field.
That was reinforced at last week's first presidential debate of the season, which, aside from Tim Pelletti, featured a handoff of a handful of long shots and no shots debating such topics as the legalization of marijuana and even heroin.
Daniels is regarded and regards himself as a candidate of considerable gravity, willing to focus on making tough choices about the nation's financial future, even if that conversation is politically unpopular.
At a February speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, Daniels said that purity in martyrdom is for suicide bombers.
Meaning, hey, look, if you guys are going to all demand we candidates be right down the road conservative, we're going to lose, and it's not the way we should be martyred.
That's what he meant.
Daniels' candidacy probably would be taken as a sign that the games are over for the Republican Party, that it's time to buckle down now, get serious, and organize to beat Obama.
So you see what's shaping up here in the media and with certain help from Republican insiders.
Medicare, get rid of it.
It's going to destroy the party.
Get it off the table.
We can't go there.
And we've got to get Mitch Daniels somebody serious.
The Republican field is a joke.
This is just, can't have these conservatives running things.
We've got to have deal makers in there, people willing to make deals.
It's how government gets done compromise.
Get the Tea Party out of our way.
Get the Tea Party out of our hair.
Get these stupid other Republican nominees and hopefully get them out of the way.
Let's bring in somebody who has gravity.
Alex Castellanos, a Republican media consultant who's not aligned with any candidate yet in 2012, said, Mitch Daniels will turn a race that is less about serious politics into a race about more serious policy.
Daniels is the adult in the room saying the party's over, time to clean house.
The contrast in maturity is how a Republican beats Obama.
And even Obama, says Chris Telissa, has recognized here that Mitch Daniels would be a profound threat.
Obama has acknowledged as much about Mitch Daniels, telling an Indiana TV station that the governor is, quote, a serious person, close quote, before adding, I do have some significant philosophical differences with him.
Should Daniels opt not to run, on the other hand, the unpredictability that has ruled the race would almost certainly continue unabated.
So if you guys don't nominate Daniels, it's over for you.
And by the way, if you do, it's over.
Why do you think the Democrats want us to nominate him?
Do they really want to nominate Challenger here?
They really want us to nominate somebody they really think could beat Obama?
Is that what they want us to do?
And there's this phrase again, serious.
That's the new gravitas.
That's the new, he's an intellectual.
He's a serious person.
It also means boring and moderate.
And it does not mean conservative.
It is now, I've figured it out.
Somebody who's conservative cannot simultaneously be serious, according to the new guidelines in Washington.
Now, before you people go getting all offended on me, you've got to understand something.
The customs in Islam and the Muslim world are quite different from the feminized culture of the United States.
Here's a guy with three wives living in a pigsty.
One ought to be enough to keep it clean.
Now, wait, no, no, no, don't do that to me.
Do not look at me that way.
We're talking about, we're talking about the Muslim religion is we're not talking about feminized America.
I told you, even warning you, I got the reaction I was warning you not to bother me with.
You know, it's suicide to tell a joke today about how a dirty place is because a woman won't clean it.
I'm not stupid enough to do that.
But over there, what else do they do?
You know, that and run around in the kitchen.
I mean, that's exactly.
You got three of them over there, and the place is still a pigsty.
Well, that's why I say the babies and clean.
And you'll note the nags do not take up their cause.
They don't.
The nags couldn't care less what happens to women in that culture.
Not at all.
Oh, don't give me hard-to-find good staff business.
I mean, you can get the Pakistani army down the street if you want to have somebody come in and clean it up.
I mean, there's plenty of opportunities.
To live in squalor like that, it's almost a choice.
But then to hear the president of the United States, I mean, so much imagery happening here.
Got to make it look like this guy's living in the lap of luxury.
He's in charge of the command and control of al-Qaeda.
Million-dollar company.
Give me a break.
Geez, I just, I think it's hilarious to watch the pretzeling that's going on to try to make this into something that it wasn't.
Also, former Vietnam veteran, John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry on CNN said it's time to stop questioning the exact occurrences in bin Laden's house before his death in a butta bud.
I think those SEALs did exactly what they should have done, said Senator Kerry.
It's unface the nation.
We need to shut up and move on about the realities of what happened in that building.
It's time to move on now.
Which, of course, is the solution to every single tight squeeze a Democrat president gets himself in.
Just shut up.
Don't ask any questions about this.
Leave us alone.
We've told you what the hell is.
Don't bug us about this.
Just move on.
The American people don't care.
The American people have moved on.
Why can't you?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever.
So that's, you know, clearly Kerry being nervous.
Their spin efforts aren't working.
All right.
So they say conservatives are dispiriting the Republicans.
Well, then I guess I'm the indicted co-despiritor.
Anyway, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Now, let me put some of this in perspective, some of this that I just shared with you.
What do we just go through?
I mean, Juan Williams says that the Tea Party is finished, that the Republicans don't care about it.
It's a problem.
Just get rid of it.
This is a parrot, by the way, of Pelosi.
And Juan Williams went on to say that the Republicans are doing good.
They're back to doing deals now.
They're not being obstinate.
Doing deals.
That's how good government works.
That's how Washington works.
Remember, Pelosi said, we need to get back to the days where it didn't matter who won or lost elections because there wasn't that big a difference between us.
She couldn't have been more clear.
We need to get back to the day where there weren't any conservatives in this town.
We need to get back to the day where the Republicans weren't worried so much what the conservatives are going to do.
And we get a story here today from Chris Salizza in the Washington Post, quoting people from all over the place, basically saying that Washington's favorite Republican is Mitch Daniels.
And if Daniels doesn't get in it, then the rest of the field is a joke.
There's nobody else serious in there.
Nobody in the field that's serious.
Only Daniels is going to bring that kind of seriousness and gravity to us.
And we're to believe that, and Obama's even echoing that sentiment in the Chris Saliza Pizza.
We are to believe that Obama and the Democrats seriously want a strong challenger for Obama.
Just ask yourself a simple question.
You're a member of the Obama regime, or you are a high-ranking member of the Democrat National Committee, and your first and foremost objective right now is raising money so as to secure the re-election victory of Barack Obama.
That's what you live for.
You're really going to go out and try to find a Republican who could beat you and then call a reporter for the Washington Post and say, you know, we're really scared of this guy.
If this guy Daniels gets in, we're going to be really worried.
If Guy Daniels doesn't get in, well, it's home free for us because the rest of that field's a joke.
Is that how you're going to think?
That the strongest opponent you have is who you're going to trumpet?
Let's put some things in perspective here.
We learned last week that the internal polling on the Obama re-elect inside the White House is bad.
Last week and the week before, I made it plain to all of you that Obama is beatable.
He is imminently beatable.
No executive, no president with this kind of record, with this kind of economy, is a shoe-in.
And yet, what's the spin?
Again, from the same inside-the-beltway types, including some Republicans, we always have to remember this.
Obama's unbeatable.
That was a spin last week and the week before.
Obama's unbeatable.
It really, this wouldn't be the time to really put forth our A-team because they're just going to get creamed.
Let's keep our powder dry and let's focus on 2016.
Obama can't be beat.
In whose universe could that possibly be true?
No, November elections now have no meaning whatsoever.
The Republicans didn't have to say a word, and the Democrats got shellacked.
The Republicans did not have to have a single candidate for voters to rally behind, and the Democrats still got shellacked.
The Tea Party cannot be over.
The Tea Party cannot be said to be irrelevant because it's the American people.
The Tea Party is a vast majority of the American people.
The Tea Party didn't have a singular leader.
There's nobody you can destroy, no one person you can destroy, and then say you've destroyed the Tea Party.
So, folks, what's happening here with these two Republicans losing it on Medicare stories, the Mitch Daniels story, there's a massive effort by the Democrats and the media rooted in a profound fear that Obama will lose.
That is why these stories today, and that's why they're going to ratchet up.
That is why you're going to, as the days and weeks proceed, you're going to see more and more about how the Republicans are in disarray.
And they're thinking of just dropping this whole Medicare thing.
It's destroying us.
Never mind.
That entitlement reform, spending reform, debt control, all of that was why this huge shellacking.
And it's important to try to remember how large it was.
It wasn't just Washington.
I mean, it was state legislatures totally taken over by Republicans.
It was a massive, it was a humongous defeat.
And in the House of Representatives, the Republican pickup was, of course, some predictions much better than the experts thought.
So Obama, I'm telling you, folks, he is so beatable, and don't doubt me on this.
And I want you to be as confident as you can be on this.
Right now, if the election were tomorrow, Barack Obama loses and in a landslide.
Look at this story.
This is from MarketWatch today, and it's Wall Street Journal.
If you thought the housing crisis was bad, think again, it's worse.
New data just out from Zillow, the real estate information company, show house prices are falling at their fastest rate since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
That's 2008.
Average home prices are down 8% from a year ago, 3% over the quarter, and are falling at about 1% every month.
And the percentage of homeowners in negative equity positions, that means the home is worth less than the mortgage, has rocketed to a new high of 28%.
And this Zillow bunch now predicts prices will fall about 8% this year and says it'll no longer expects the market to bottom before 2012.
QE2 is over.
Stock market, who knows what's going to happen there.
Gas price, the plunge here is temporary.
A lot of people feel.
I mean, there's no, you can spin a lot of economic data and lie to people.
Things are better than they are, but you can't spin their gas price at them.
And you can't spin the cost of food.
And you can't spin the cost of living.
You can't spin the cost of housing.
You can't.
There's a lot of stuff that people live that is factual.
And you can't persuade them that it isn't what reality is because they're living it.
Right now, as we sit here, Barack Obama is beatable.
And Obama knows it.
And the Democrats know it.
And the consultants know it.
And the pollsters know it.
And so what they are doing, they are trying to take out every candidate on the Republican side they can think of.
They have already started impugning one candidate after another.
Now, you know my theory.
They will always tell us who they fear.
And I'm not trying to cause any problems here.
I'm really not.
But it's obvious to me they don't fear Mitch Daniels.
Maybe in time they'll come to fear him.
But right now, Mitch Daniels is who they want to run against.
It's right there in Chris DeLiz's piece in the Washington Post.
Mitch Daniels, the man who could reshape the Republican field.
That's what the Republicans want, Democrats want, isn't it?
The Democrats want a revitalized Republican field.
The Democrats want a strong Republican candidate, right?
That's what they want.
That's what Mr. Saliz is asking us to believe.
What, Snirdly?
What are you smirking at in there?
What nerve did I touch that I are the Daniels people?
You mean because Daniels people are limited me for what?
For this?
I don't know any Daniels people.
Look, Mitch Daniels at CPAC, I mean, who was it, Daniels, or was it one of his people?
I forget.
Daniels did say something about purity in the name of martyrdom is for suicide bombers.
I know what that means.
I'm thinking that Huntsman's guy, John Weaver, and Olmcaine guy said, look, if this party is shaped by Limbaugh and Palin and Gingrich, we don't have a chance of it.
I don't live under any illusions as to my standing in the Republican Party.
A Republican Party doesn't have a Tea Party problem.
It has a conservative problem.
The Tea Party is not the problem with the Republican Party.
Modern-day Republicans are the problem with the Republican Party.
I don't need to focus on individual names here.
I didn't author this piece on Mitch Daniels.
I was sitting here minding my own business, doing show prep, and lo and behold, there it is.
What am I supposed to do, Stern?
Am I supposed to check my brain at the door and come in here and do with both halves of my brain tied behind my back?
If I see a story from a noted ranking member of the state-controlled media mentioning any guy, I don't care who it is, and this is Mitch Daniels as the one guy who could reshape the Republican field.
I'm supposed to believe that's what they want.
I'm supposed to believe that Obama wants to face the toughest Republican, the only one who could maybe beat him.
That's what we're supposed to believe.
I don't know.
I don't believe that.
I don't believe that's what they want.
I'm not trying to impugn anybody.
I haven't endorsed anybody here.
I'm just reading this stuff and reacting to it.
You know, they did a hit piece on Huckabee last week.
They've been trying to destroy Sarah Palin ever since I first heard of her.
When Newt announces next week, they're going to turn their attention to him.
And I'll guarantee you, when Daniels announces, if he does, well, it'll be interesting to see.
It will be interesting to see how they deal with that.
Finally, finally, the Republicans have apparently gotten the message now.
Finally, they'll say the Republicans have nominated a serious candidate, one who is in Obama's league, one who can revitalize the party, reshape the field, and maybe with a chance to win.
And that's what they want.
Think about the Tea Party, as I said, there's not one person in the Tea Party to attack.
The Tea Party is faceless.
The Tea Party is scattered all over the country.
You can't take them down.
You can't, Mr. Williams, I don't know what you're talking about.
You can't take the Tea Party.
You just can't wish them away.
You can't take them out of the equation.
You can't destroy one person.
Let's destroy the Tea Party.
That's really one of the great aspects of it.
Okay, now let's go back to the Mitch Daniels story.
What do they say?
They refer here to the Republican debate on Thursday, and they basically laugh at it.
It was a joke.
Nothing serious happened in that debate.
You had Ron Paul talking about heroin.
Somebody else talking about marijuana.
Other than Palenti, it's a handful of long shots and no shots.
Yet, what did I tell you about that debate?
What I told you, I was pleasantly surprised at the uniformity, a couple of exceptions, the uniformity of the conservative message.
What was I happy about?
That virtually every meaningful person on that panel came out and really took it to Obama.
Now, does it make sense that Chris Saliza and others in the media, the Democrat side, would try to rip it to shreds?
Yes, it does.
So, the real truth is, Obama is very beatable.
He is so beatable, they're trying to destroy any potential opponent that could beat him, even as we speak, including spinning that debate last Thursday.
It didn't matter, Limbaugh.
It was a bunch of losers, and you know it, Limba.
Nobody there had a chance except Palenti, and you know, he doesn't have a chance, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
There was a powerful message in that first debate, and that message was: Obama is the problem, and he can be beat, and we intend to take it to him.
That's what came up.
Well, that's not what obviously, the White House doesn't want that, the media doesn't want that.
And you look at Canada, look at all the conservative, the conservatism breaking out in Canada.
I have to take a break here.
Well, I'm not through.
These people may turn me into a good mood today.
Back after this, you're rush limbo making more sense than anybody else has the courage to make.
You're on the EIB network.
Here's the dirty little secret: if the election were held tomorrow, anybody with the middle name of unemployment is at 9% will beat Barack Obama.
It doesn't matter who the nominee is if the election's tomorrow.
Well, it won't in 2012 if things do as we all expect and get worse.
It won't matter unless the Republicans nominate somebody so bad, meaning so close to Obama, that there will be a revolt away from the party on part of the Tea Party is who will not vote for somebody who comes from the same basic political philosophy.
That is Washington first, second, and always.
Ain't going to happen.
Look at the midterms.
And before the midterms, look at Scott Brown.
I don't care what he's doing now.
Look at Scott Brown.
Look at Christie and look at McConnell.
The dirty little secret.
And I know some of you think I overused the phrase.
Well, that's tough.
Get used to it.
The dirty little secret here is that there is a trend underway, and it is pro-ascending conservatism, anti-Obama socialism.
It started when Christie was elected in New Jersey, McConnell elected in Washington, Scott Brown a senator in Massachusetts.
This trend has been consistent and it is building.
It culminated last November with a shellacking defeat for Democrats, socialists, Marxists, and liberals in the November midterm elections.
This trend includes, and you might even say began with a Tea Party, if you wanted to.
And this trend has bubbled up from the very essence of this country, the so-called grassroots, not from academia, not from the pool of the people who announce themselves as serious.
The trend that is taking place here is against liberalism and socialism, and it will ensnare anybody who promotes, advocates, or is liberal or socialist or says they want to be.
There's no reporting on this trend, but we know they know it exists by virtue of what they're doing now.
The midterms were all about cutting spending.
All about cutting spending, getting a financial house in order.
And now we're told that doing that, cutting spending, any spending, now we're told that's how you lose.
Sorry, Charlie.
Things have not changed that much, if at all, from November until now.
You know, it's bad enough, ladies and gentlemen, bad enough that the Democrats always cut and run from America's foreign enemies.
But if the Republicans, if the Republicans are going to now start cutting and running from our domestic enemies, and that's the Democrats, then we've got a big problem.
This is not the time to cut and run.
We are in the process of ascending.
The trend leads to our victory, and they are about to undercut it, following their own anti-conservatism instincts in the Republican Party.
They're not careful.
