RUSH: Now, folks, what's profound about this to me is that ACORN's been doing what they've been doing for 30 years. They are bought and paid for by the Democrat Party. They are an arm, they are an activist group of the Democrat Party. So what happened this year to cause them to get caught? What happened this year to have 15 states start investigations against them? This is not an idle question. We've heard about ACORN. John Fund, by the way, at Wall Street Journal has a great book, the paperback...

RUSH: Gloria Borger was on CNN's Election Center last night, the host Campbell Brown. "Where do things stand, Gloria? Is Sarah Palin hurting rather than helping the McCain campaign?"BORGER: Well, she certainly isn't bringing along Hillary Clinton supporters. Anybody who thought that she was going to bring along Hillary Clinton supporters was not looking at Sarah Palin's record and Hillary Clinton's record. She is bringing along white men who like her a lot and she's rallying the base. But...

RUSH: I mentioned earlier in the program Alabama's Fifth Congressional District Democrat candidate Parker Griffith, what he thinks the real problem with America is. We have audio. This is from September 15th.GRIFFITH: I think America's greatest enemy is America and its imperialism. And I think that . . . uh . . . we have nothing to fear from radical Islam. We have nothing to fear from any other religion if we in fact are strong on our own beliefs. I don't fear radical Islam. RUSH: Again, this...

RUSH: I want to go back, ladies and gentlemen, to this little joke I made at the top of the hour. The Obama campaign sent out debate talking points before the debate. They sent the talking points out about 11:17, or even earlier than that. They sent the debate talking points to the media. In other words, they sent the media talking points to explain what will happen in the debate tonight before the debate has happened. Well, it turns out that if you compare the Obama talking points with an...

RUSH: I mentioned this earlier, a story here in the Wall Street Journal: "'As Economy Weakens, Sports Feel a Chill' -- The crisis in financial markets is sending a chill through the sports industry, cooling the ardor of many longtime season-ticket holders and formerly deep-pocketed corporate sponsors. Fans have packed the nation's stadiums for the baseball playoffs this fall, and end-zone tickets for next month's football game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys are fetching hundreds...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, remember the plumber that Barack Obama ran into Sunday in Toledo? He was campaigning door-to-door, and he ran into a local plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, and Wurzelbacher said this to Obama. He said, "Your new tax plan's going to tax me more, isn't it?"OBAMA: It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance at success, too. I think when we spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.RUSH:...

Eighteen-years-in-waiting dittos.RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. Great to have you here.CALLER: Hey, I gotta tell you. I live in one of the most blue-collar areas of Detroit, and the apathy here is palpable. I mean you cannot drive through -- four years ago there was Kerry signs everywhere. There is not one single Obama sign in my entire...

RUSH: We have a new ad from Senator Obama. Listen to this, and then we will have commentary. ANNOUNCER: John McCain's campaign told the press if the election's about the economy, he'll lose. Now, as Americans lose their jobs and savings, McCain's resorting to desperate attacks the press calls, quote, "smears and false." Bill Ayers is a professor of education who once served with Obama on a school reform board, a board funded by conservative Republicans tied to McCain. When Ayers committed crimes...

RUSH: Hey, folks, did you see that the Obama campaign has set out debate talking points already, even before the debate. I myself have the debate talking points right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers that the Obama campaign sent out. It's amazing when you read these talking points. They sound exactly like what the Drive-Bys have been saying for the last month anyway. (sound of crumbling papers) This is what I think of the Obama debate talking points. Great to have you with us,...

Story #1: School Takes Field Trip to Lesbian Teacher WeddingRUSH: In the case of your first and second graders, where does your school take your kids on field trips? Dawn, when your daughters were six and seven, do you remember any field trips they went on? Where were they taken? They went to the science museum.
