Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right 99.7% of the time.
Great to have you here.
Our telephone number if you want to be on the program, and we'll try to get some phone calls this hour is 800-282-2882, the email address.

Okay, so from the sound bites that we've played so far from some of the comments that were made over the weekend on the Sunday shows.
It is apparent that the drive-bys are doing everything they can to tell Obama, focus on the 47% comment that Romney made.
Now, what was that comment?
Romney was speaking to some uh donors, a private donor meeting in May, and there was somebody that recorded it.
Fine and dandy, same thing happens to Obama and everybody else.
And in that uh donor appearance, he was telling I'm I'm guessing he probably got a question or two for some dissatisfied donors.
Why don't you do this?
Why don't you do that?
That's what happens at these things.
I mean, these are big bucks people.
They're shelling out a lot of money.
They expect something for it.
Why don't you do that?
Why don't you run an ad for that group?
Why does it I mean people tell me what say all the time on this program?
And you're probably telling Romney in your own mind what you think he ought to do.
So probably somebody's, well, why don't you go after this group or that group and Romney, look, there's there's a bunch of people, no matter what I do, they're gonna vote for Obama to 47%, whatever it is, that they're not gonna vote for me, no matter what.
And he went on to describe them.
And he did it accurately.
They are your average Democrat voters.
It doesn't mean he's not gonna represent them.
It doesn't mean that he's not going to be president of them.
But this this relentless focus on that 47%, who doesn't know about it by now?
The drive-bys are acting like there's still a whole bunch of people a country that don't know it.
Let me tell you what the truth is.
The truth is that because of the first debate, it is Romney who is shocking everybody, who is not the guy that the Obama campaign's been telling everybody he is.
They've been running ads about Romney as a felon, a money launderer, a guy who doesn't care about people to the extent that he would let a man's wife die of cancer, and then the real Romney shows up at the debate, and everybody's startled, a people who only know Romney by virtue of what Obama's told them, or the Obama campaign, or Obama Pax, or the television ads.
So the real shocker was, well, wait a minute, somebody's not telling us truth here about who Romney is.
And now, after Romney shows up as who he is, as who he's always been, but in stark contrast to the lying, savage misrepresentation way he's been put forth in these ads.
They now want to try to tell the American people that the Romney they saw in the debate is the fraud, and that the real Romney is the guy in their ads.
I'm sorry, but that's that's a non-starter.
That isn't gonna fly.
That's that's just out the it's like the analogy that I made last week, trying to believe it exit polls should count more than real votes.
The 2004 election, the exit polls had John Kerry winning both waves at two and five o'clock waves of exit polls.
Then the real vote started counting, and it was Bush that was gonna win.
And the Democrats thought that the real votes was where the corruption was and the exit polls were accurate.
So they think the Romney they've portrayed in these ads is the real Romney.
Remember, they live in this world where they create lies about things and people, and that's what they believe.
And when they're confronted with the hard cold truth and reality that's diametrically opposed to what they believe, they're stuck.
They don't know what to do.
The Orwellian thing in all of this is that there is outrage that Romney brought up the 47%.
If anybody has been campaigning on the idea that there are enemies of the state, it's Barack Obama.
If you have a job, you're an enemy of the state.
If you're successful, you're an enemy of the state.
You're not paying your fair share.
If you have a small business and you want a tax cut, you're an enemy of the state.
Romney doesn't have any enemies of the estate.
But Obama sure does.
Obama's the one targeting certain groups.
Obama is the one who wants to punish and wants to get votes on the basis of punishing certain Americans.
Obama is the guy who wants everybody around the world to know that he successfully put an American in jail because of a video that he did.
Anybody really think that Mitt Romney has enemies of the state that he wants to target or injure or harm?
There's not part of Romney's campaign.
Andrew Sullivan, who was panicking after the first debate, was on Chris Matthews' show on Sunday morning, a syndicated version.
And Matthews said to him, How do you keep saying over and over again my opponent's not telling the truth?
That his defense, that's his defense against you rather passionate critique of the first debate.
The first thing you say is President Obama's is, well, I'm for 100% of Americans, he's for 47%.
That's my first answer next.
Yeah, but it's not true.
I cannot.
What am I missing?
These guys are are they this distant from reality?
Do they really think that Romney said he is opposed to those 47%?
It is Obama, as I say.
Who has enemies?
It's Obama who has a campaign to target certain people.
It's Obama who is going to fine Americans if they don't do what he says, i.e., have a health insurance policy.
But I'm struck.
I really am.
These guys, every one of these media people, including once, think that all Obama's got to do is say, well, he said he only cares about certain motherboards.
I'm for a hundred percent.
I don't know where he goes with that because there is not one thing Obama's done that indicates he's for 100% of this country.
He's trying to fundamentally alter it based on the fact that it isn't fair, that not everybody's got a fair shot.
He wants to punish certain people.
It's Obama who's written off a whole class of Americans, the white working class.
And he had one of his minions, Dan was it uh Thomas Edsel, write that very thing in a New York Times piece last November.
Takes me, I've got I got two pieces here I want to share with him.
Mike Barone, and I mentioned this in the first hour.
There is a there's a rumor that there's gonna be a big bird, million big bird march or something in Washington on uh on November 3rd, that weekend.
Here's here's Baron's take on this.
This is really good.
When a politician's in trouble, he usually falls back in what he knows best.
The world he saw around him when he entered into political awareness as a young adult.
That's what seems to have happened to the Democrat ticket after Obama's disastrous performance in the Denver debates.
So Obama on the campaign trail and Biden in the vice presidential debate have fallen back on what they know from their formative political years.
At least that's the best explanation I come up with for the Obama campaign's obsession with Big Bird.
Have you wondered about this?
I mean, I have, intellectually, of all the things going on in this country that they really think there's ground to be gained by claiming Romney wants to kill off Big Bird.
They really think that.
Okay, that why do they think that?
That's what Baron's exploring here.
They really do believe that.
They think there's ground to be gained.
So why?
Someone in the Obama campaign, and remember the campaign always reflects the candidate, thought that hitting Romney for defunding PBS Sesame Street Big Bird would be devastating.
Never mind that Sesame Street gets little money from the government.
It has an endowment in the hundreds of millions, and it does.
The woman that runs this is the wife of a former treasury secretary.
They're billionaires.
This is absurd to say that Romney can kill off Big Bird.
Anyway, the Sesame Street people assured Americans no matter what that Big Bird isn't going anywhere, no matter what Romney does.
Okay, if they cut the funding, which isn't that much, we'll spend our own money, which we're doing anyway to keep Big Bird on the air, big whoop.
Now Baron points out that the big bird offensive would have been more effective in the late 70s and the early 80s when Obama was coming of political age.
Lots of people then saw political or public broadcasting as a needed alternative to commercial TV.
Better your kids watch Sesame Street than cartoons interlaced with ads for sugared syrup.
The point is that in 2012, the demographics are such, with so many TV channels available, not just the three networks and PBS and a CNN out there, that nobody's being denied the chance to see anything they want to see, no matter where they go and no matter who's paying for it.
So the idea that a Republican's gonna come off and kill off big bird doesn't mean anything to anybody because they know he can't.
Obama's living in the past, which is what liberalism is.
It's rooted in the past.
They go back to the old pages of their playbook.
That's what the class envy thing is, really.
Now it's an argument, even in 22, it might have had some appeal.
In the state Senate district, Obama sculpted for himself that year, linking black neighborhoods on Chicago's South Side with rich liberals in Gold Coast apartments.
But for ordinary voters today who can choose from 133 cable channels, Sesame Street and PBS just not that big a deal anymore.
Sesame Street and PBS do not equal the greatness of liberalism or the survival of liberalism, like at one time it did.
It seemed that big a deal.
We all, that's why everybody laughed.
Obama Romney got to kill off big bird, big whoop.
If Romney kills off the big bird will come up with a new program that gives you the big bird.
In flip form.
Fast forward to Biden at the debate.
He clearly delivered what the Obama regime wanted.
A lot of lusty attacks on Romney.
Repeated mention of that magic number, 47%, smirks, groans, derisive laughter.
He interrupted Ryan and Martha Raditz more than 80 times.
That probably was off-putting to independence and undecided.
But on substance, Biden was weaker.
He denied that the White House knew that Ambassador Christopher Stevens was attacked by terrorists rather than a demonstration prompted by a video.
He said he didn't know that there had been requests for additional security and so forth.
In his closing statement, Biden identified Romney's 47% of the people.
This really gets to the nub of it here, folks.
Biden identified Romney's 47% of the people who won't take responsibility.
He was talking about my mother and father.
He's talking about the places I grow up in.
My neighbors in Scranton and Claymont.
Now, when Biden first ran for the Senate in 72, those people, born around 1920, would rally to candidates who promised to maintain Social Security and Medicare.
They'd understand his reference to Republican opposition to these programs when they were enacted 1935 and 65, but that's 77 and 47 years ago now.
The fact of the matter is that most young people don't expect there to be any of that for them, number one.
And number two, the Obama campaign wrote off the 47% last November.
You people in the media, you want to keep bringing this up.
You want to live by the 47%, you're going to die by it.
Because we can trot out all the op-ed pieces where the Obama campaign had decided to write off white working class voters, i.e.
the 47%.
But while Obama goes back and tries to scare people with big bird being killed off, Biden was doing the same thing, trying to scare people here that his mother and father are going to be denied benefits.
That's what the 47% means.
And it's not what it meant.
It's not what it ever meant.
And it just shows how both Biden and Obama are rooted in the past.
Now Baron's point is you go back to what's comfortable, and that's what was when you were just coming of age in politics.
And he's right about this.
But beyond that.
Beyond that, it's the Obama campaign who has enemies of the state.
It's the Obama campaign that wrote off white working class voters.
I'm really amused.
These guys think that it didn't work for Biden.
You know, what what did Ryan say?
Well, Mr. Vice President, I'm sure you know that sometimes things just don't come out of your mouth the way you intend them to.
At that point, by the way, Biden said, No, I always say what I mean, which is pretty damn scary, if you ask me.
But I don't see it working for Biden.
I don't maybe missing something here.
Uh at the time I understood why it could be a problem, but I think it's a very narrow focus.
These guys have a personal, these media people have a personal passion here of destroying Romney.
Regardless its effect on the election, I think they just they found the 47% comment.
They aired it, they put it out there, they want it to matter.
That's they were ticked off to no end that Obama didn't use it in the first debate.
You're taking it personally.
They saw a guy who phoned it in.
They saw a guy Obama didn't care.
No passion.
Looking down at the floor.
No interest whatsoever in being in that debate.
And they thought they handed him victory on a silver platter with that Romney 47% tip.
So they are hell bent on him using it.
I gotta take a quick time out.
Sit there, folks.
We'll be back with much more before you know it.
Ha, how are you?
Welcome back, El Rushboat.
Talent on lawn from God.
I mean, what what do they think Romney's gonna do?
Obama said there's um for president, a hundred people, hey he for 47.
What do you think Romney's gonna do?
Okay, I quit.
Damn it, he mentioned a 407%.
Candy, he didn't he can't do and they what I think Romney's gonna just lay down and die and go home.
Obama's been using the 47%.
He'd been using it in his stump speeches.
They've got ads running on this.
What's happening?
Romney's still going up, Obama's still trending down.
I I just I I think the if you want to start talking numbers, I mean Romney can start talking unemployment numbers, uh any number that I don't think I think Obama's goose is cooked no matter where he goes on.
I think that 47%, I wouldn't be surprised these guys are disappointed again.
That forty-seven percent is precisely for ads and stump speeches, but it is not something you use when you give Romney a chance to rebut it.
That's why Obama didn't use it the first time.
We'll see.
I let's go to the phones.
We're gonna start Cincinnati.
This is Andy.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Confused, but I'm still here.
Hey, I went to the uh first of all, I just want to say you are the inspirational leader of the free world.
Well, uh gee, thank you, sir very much.
Yeah, I went to the um I liked it.
I went to the Romney rally on Saturday up in Lebanon, Ohio.
Yeah.
I live in Mason, which is the next town down, and uh I'll tell you there was 10 to 15,000 people there.
Um probably I would say 50 percent of them were seniors.
And I got there like quarter or two, he was supposed to show up around 515, so I had a lot of time to stand around and talk to people.
And uh, you know, some of the first things I said to these older women, I said, uh I said, Oh have you guys heard about the war on women?
And they laughed and I said, You guys listen to Rush?
And they go, Oh, yeah.
I said, Are you rush babes?
And they said, Yeah.
Did you ask any of them by any chance?
I asked them everything you'd want to know.
Go ahead.
Did you ask any of them if they happen to be Democrats?
No.
No.
Um there was one uh woman who did vote for um for Obama, but she didn't tell me whether she was a Republican or a Democrat.
She just said that uh, you know, she she was younger and she bought the whole vote.
let me tell you what I'm hearing.
I and I I don't mention this.
I'm only gonna mention it to you uh uh bouncing off your call.
Uh I get emails from people, as you know.
I read them frequently, all over the fruited plane.
And an email um is just anecdotal.
It doesn't really mean anything.
Even if you get 15 or 20 of them, you really can't.
It's a very risky thing to think that a couple 15, 20 emails represent the thinking, say, of a whole of a whole state.
But I've gotten so many of these emails from people.
Uh they're Republican grassroots workers.
You know, we're spending a lot of time uh building up the grassroots with one of our sponsors here, Freedom Works.
And I'm just I'm hearing from a lot of people out in the grassroots.
They're going door to door, they're already making phone calls, they're knocking on doors, and they're telling me that they're running into a lot of Democrats and people who voted for Obama last time who can't wait to go vote against him.
And we're not seeing that reported in there.
There's no poll that's telling us that.
There's no research that's telling us this, other than this anecdotal little individual stories that I'm getting from states around the country.
I don't know what to make of it.
I don't want to invest.
I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you, folks, Ohio's in the bag.
I'm getting emails.
Look at the size of those crowds.
There's no way Romney's gonna lose Ohio.
I I would not do that based on the anecdotal stories that people tell.
But I it they are out there, and I do think that there are a tremendous number of Obama voters in 08 who are going the other way this time around who are not telling people they don't trust that story or that truth.
And we're back.
L Rush Ball, a brand new week of broadcast excellence.
Here we are at the distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Now, the Washington Post poll that I quoted earlier, ABC Washington Post poll, they are they're getting close on some of this anecdotal stuff.
They're not reporting that there are people in the state who used to vote or did vote for Obama telling them they're gonna vote Romney this time around, but they are chronicling the enthusiasm shift.
They say in their poll today, the enthusiasm for Obama is eight points lower than at this point in 2008.
And what that means is it's 16 perm for Obama.
Somebody show it to me.
He can't draw any crowds.
They had to move indoors at the convention.
They had to move indoors in Vegas a week later.
Where is the enthusiasm for Obama?
There isn't any.
You've got party loyalty and uh what whatever percentage of voters who really do think Obama equals a new kitchen or a phone or whatever, but there's no enthusiasm for Obama when it comes to ideas.
There's no enthusiasm for more of what Obama has done.
There isn't any.
So when the Washington Post says, well, enthusiasm for Obama down eight points over where it was in 2008.
It's it's misleading because it presumes there is some enthusiasm for Obama.
Do you see any?
The enthusiasm is all for Romney.
The enthusiasm, even if it's not for Romney, the enthusiasm is no more Obama.
People are fed up from across the spectrum.
There's there's nothing in the Obama record that that reasonable, and that's the majority of people in this country want any more of.
They don't want any more debt.
They don't want any more spending.
They don't want a foreign policy that's out of control and being run by a neophyte.
They don't want a president who can't tell the truth about things.
They don't they don't want a president who doesn't believe in his own country.
They don't want a president who goes up and tells people of the United Nations that a video is responsible for what happened, that we're sorry for it, and it wasn't us.
It was some wacko in California.
That's not presidential.
That's not what the American People think and want from a uh I mean the most enthusiastic Obama voter I have seen is the Obama phone babe in Cleveland.
And outside of that, I don't see it.
Other than the media.
I got I stand corrected.
There is enthusiasm for Obama in the media, but that has almost become fear rather than enthusiasm.
Anyway, the Washington Post story, enthusiasm for Obama eight points lower than at this point in 2008, and the enthusiasm for Romney is 30 points higher than McCain's was four years ago.
Now they don't say how the enthusiasm is manifesting itself, but if enthusiasm for Romney's thirty points higher than than McCain, I'm telling you that it's made up of people who voted for Obama who are changing their minds.
Now that woman, the most enthusiastic Obama voter I've seen, the Obama phone babe in Cleveland, remember was being paid.
Not with the phone.
She was getting what, 11 bucks an hour with uh from the SEIU.
Somebody was paying those people a show up and and and dog Romney.
Here is Ed in Pittsburgh.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi, Russ.
Infidel Dittos.
Thank you, sir.
Infidel Dillon.
Yeah, infidel dittoes, did you say?
Uh yes, I did.
Yes.
Yes.
Uh listen, uh, I have a comment on the 47%.
But maybe you can make me understand this, because I'm I'm really at a loss to understand why they think they're sitting on such a gold mine with that.
Well, what uh what I can't understand is why nobody's brought up what a negative that is for Obama.
I mean, if I'm Romney and somebody hits me with that 47% comment, uh I'll immediately uh come back at him with well, Mr. President, your policies have ensured that 47% of the American people are uh on the taxpayers' dole.
And we intend to change that.
So thank you for bringing it up.
You don't think that's somewhat risky?
You gotta keep in mind.
No, you gotta keep you have to you have to remember one thing about that 47%, that most people in it do not think they are.
When that 47% number's brought up, most people don't go, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's talking about me.
It's always those other people.
Most people don't think they're in the 47%.
So you think that's risky.
I uh I I it might be if it's worded correctly and if it's done the right way.
Um I I think that could be uh that could be negative.
The reason it's risky to use the 47% as well, Mr. President, 47% of Americans aren't paying taxes.
Um that it is an opening for uh Obama to go out and say he thinks that's good.
That the rich it ought to be 49 or 50, whatever the rich aren't paying their fair share.
You can also know it's not true, Mr. Romney, they all pay payroll taxes or or or what have you.
I think if you want to use the 47%, you could come up with some other things that indicate economic failure pain or whatever that equal 47%.
But 47% of the people not paying taxes can still be st uh uh uh spun into Romney criticizing them.
Uh-huh.
When don't forget there isn't a politician alive who's running on tax increases for the middle class.
They're all running on tax cuts for the middle class.
So if you run out and say 47% aren't paying taxes, they can turn that around and think Romney wants to raise mine.
And nobody gets elected promising to raise taxes on the middle class.
They get elected promising to cut them and then raise them after that when they're not looking.
The last guy that tried this was Walter Mondal, 1984, promised to raise everybody's taxes.
He said Reagan was too, but Reagan wouldn't tell you the truth.
I am telling you, I'm gonna raise your taxes, so is he.
He lost 49 states.
So I think it's risky to equate 47%.
Besides not their fault that they're not paying taxes.
That's government policy.
It's not government policy.
Politicians have, in order to get votes, cut taxes on a certain percentage of income in this country that 47% fall into.
And it's it's I just think it's a risky.
No, I when I say it's not their fault, it's government policy.
It's not my fault that I'm paying 39% or 36% instead of 45%.
I pay what the rate is.
If 47% of the people aren't paying income tax, not because they wrote the law.
It's because politicians wrote the law, pandering to them trying to get their votes.
And constantly raising taxes on the rich.
The tax burden spread out the way it is because politicians have written a law that way.
I just think it's a risky area to go.
Uh because Romney is at the same time promising to cut taxes on the middle class.
You run around and start talking about all the people and aren't paying taxes, and Obama says, see, he does.
He wants to raise taxes on everybody.
It's I wouldn't go there.
I would there's other ways to use this 47%.
I I just I'm having trouble, folks verbalizing this, and I apologize profoundly for being stumped here.
That's you ever had a thought that you've trying to remember, you know what it is in the verge to the edge of your tongue, verge of your mind, you just can't think of it, that this 47%, there's something about this that I'm there's there's brilliance here, and I'm I'm I'm just shy of it.
It's I'll figure it out, uh, if not today, certainly by by tomorrow.
There's something here that just doesn't add up with all this attention on the 40 and how much they've got invested in it as a Romney killer, because it's not.
If it was gonna kill Romney, it would have killed Romney when they reported it.
Wouldn't need Obama to mention it to him in a debate.
See, the reason the reason why what Romney said in the debate was crucial is because it was the first time in the mainstream media any of that had been said, whether it was to Obama's face or not.
But the 47% is as much in the media as is anything else about Romney.
It's not something people don't know already.
But when Romney hit Obama with how his policies have failed or what he said versus what he's done, so that the the media has not vetted Obama.
The media has not critically examined Obama.
The media has not has not connected Obama and his policies to the decline of this economy.
It's never hemp.
Romney did it in the debate.
First time.
That's why it was momentous.
That's why the American people saw and heard things for the first time.
They also saw a Romney that they had not seen before if all they do is watch the mainstream media and watch television ads.
They saw a Romney that bears no resemblance to the way Obama talks about him.
But on this 47% business, my guess is most Americans are sick and tired of hearing about it.
It's been out there so damn much.
Oh.
Well, not that it'll fall flat, but it's way late.
It will be seen as a desperation move.
It's if if everybody can predict that that's what Obama's gonna do, then how does it make news?
If everybody can predict what Obama's gonna say, certainly Romney can prepare for it.
But these media guys are acting like Romney's on Mars, has no idea what's being planned here, that there's this giant secret plan to really swarm Romney with his 47%, and then tomorrow Romney's gonna land from Mars.
He's gonna get off, he's gonna go to the debate, and Obama's gonna mention his 47%, and for the very first time Romney's gonna be challenged with it, and he's gonna sit there and start shaking and shivering and quaking in fear and go, oh God, oh God, they got me, I quit.
Well, that's how they're acting over This.
It's not happening in a vacuum.
You've heard the 47% as many times you have to go to the bathroom every day.
Okay, let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a quick question.
Because this has me a little nervous.
Romney has, at least to me, gotten close a couple of times on the stump to apologizing for the 47% comment.
Now what if he does that tomorrow night?
What if he apologizes for it?
That would be bad.
That would be don't go there.
Look, they don't call me for my advice, and I don't call them with it.
I figure if they want to know what I think, I'll hear from them.
They know how to reach me.
But I I wouldn't, I wouldn't apologize.
That's since this opens too many doors.
Besides that, folks, there's a dirty little secret here.
And this is where it would really help if there were a lot of genuine Tea Party conservatives on Romney's team.
And that is there are a lot of people who agreed with him when he made the comments about the 47%.
That's to use a cliche, the dirty little secret here.
So he's got to be very careful about apologies.
I think these I've seen it get close to it a couple times with a stump.
Seems like the tendency is to just apologize, thinking that'll get it off the table.
And it won't.
That's just a brand new door opening.
Romney admits he was wrong.
Romney admits, Romney admits, Romney admits what else is Romney wrong about?
What else does Romney need to apologize for?
Does Romney need to apologize for letting the guy's wife die?
Does Romney need to apologize for sheltering his income?
Wherever this can revive every ad that Obama's run.
Anyway, Gallup is out, they're daily tracking.
Romney holds his two-point lead for the fourth straight day, so it's becoming this this debate thing's more than a bounce now.
You can't say that there was a bounce coming out of the debate because four straight days he's held his two-point lead in the Gallup Daily tracking.
But I don't I just you don't apologize for a statistical fact.
Yeah, I've heard that Obama's gonna bring up Bain.
That's let him do that.
This see, that's I think that's example, another example of what Michael Barron's talking about.
These guys live in the past.
Romney hadn't been at Bain Capitol 20 years.
And and Bain is there's a there's a company that is outsourcing some jobs to China that Bain, the current Bain Capitals involved in, but Romney's got nothing to do with it.
But they want to link Romney to Bain.
You know what's happening?
I'll tell you what's happening.
The real thing that this is why Romney's got to be real careful.
The ob if pardon my my my turn of phrase here, but I've I want to be as graphic on the on the clean side as I can here.
What what I think is really happening, I think the Obama campaign is done.
I think they've shot their wad.
I don't think they've got an October surprise.
I don't think they've got they're going back and recycling stuff.
That's what this Bain Capitol attempt to tie Romney to Bain's about.
That's what Big Bird's about.
They don't have anything else.
Pardon my French on the phrase, but I don't want a confusion as to what I mean.
I th I I think it's so much worse for the Obama campaign than any and then anybody's willing to admit anywhere, and this 47%'s like a lifeline.
Almost the 47% is almost like if you're a cowboys fan, you want the second string quarterback in after yesterday.
Or any team that had great expectations and high hopes, and and the uh the starting quarterback isn't pulling it off.
Get the second stringer in there.
That's what the 47% comment means to me.
It really indicates how little the regime has in their campaign arsenal if that represents so much.
One throwaway comment by Romney in May to a bunch of donors.
To me, that that tells me that they're starting to recycle things now.
Bain was one of the first things out of the campaign's mouth months ago when they were trying to tie Bain and Romney and Wall Street, and that's why they created Occupy Wall Street.
This Bain linkage is months old.
And they're just now going back to it.
Because they don't have anything else.
They've they've fired their big guns.
And then Benghazi happened.
And they don't have an answer.
You talk about a candidate not having an answer for something about a dead ambassador, three Americans, and blaming it on a video and then trying to slough it off on Mrs. Clinton or blaming it on the Intel community.
And then what's apparent here is that neither Biden nor Obama got the 3 a.m.
Nobody even called them.
It's not that the phone rang at 3 a.m. and they didn't answer it.
Nobody called them at 3 a.m. is what their story is now.
It is the fastest three hours in media, and two of them are already in the camp.
I can't believe it.
But there's always another hour.
Always another three hours, always another one.
