How many of you think that Social Security is intended to be your retirement plan? How many people do you think believe that, Mr. Snerdley? Do you think half of them believe it? I think it's even more. I think half the people in this country -- and I'm talking about current recipients; I'm not talking about the people that are not there yet. For example, I never have planned on it being my retirement. I never intended on it being my retirement. If it's anything to me, it would be pocket change...

Well, both candidates forgot something, and that is the Congress of the United States has a say in all this. Sometimes that's good; sometimes that's bad, but it's the reality of our republic. And Congress, they weren't running around saying, "Yep, we're going to implement all this." The candidates were. Now they're going to try it. Now, my guess is that -- I don't know if you'd say the president's "playing both sides against the middle." I'm just saying here that he wants to put his stamp on...

The Senate rejected any change in the asylum law, and once again, yesterday,...

RUSH: Well, no, no, no. I understand. Hey, we are so far away from turning into the Democrats, based on where they are right now, that doesn't concern me. If there is any concern on this, that I have, it is I think you represent a large body of thought in the country. If you go back to Arizona, Arizona had Proposition 200, which was designed basically to allow illegals to come in and access the healthcare system in Arizona. John McCain wrote an op-ed in the paper out there saying it was a stupid...

Even Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review Online has a little blurb in a magazine story about this whole thing. One of the mistakes we made back in 1994 after the election in which we took control of the House of representatives, was that we made the assumption that the country's finally learned what we stand for and agreed with it and we stopped teaching. We just made some assumptions that the country's moving our direction; it's time to start implementing, as best we could. We didn't have the...
