RUSH: In American history, do you know who the architects of negative campaigning are? Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

The West Coast Occupy movement had a busy weekend. Upwards of 400 protesters were arrested after they attacked cops and destroyed public property.

Jeb Bush Declines Romney Offer ...  AMT Redux: Democrat Senators Push "Buffett Rule" ... Bam Asked to Bail Out Detroit ... Average Pay of Government Workers Matches That at Microsoft ...

RUSH: I hope I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. I'll be stunned, though, if we see from Romney (if he's the nominee) this kind of stuff against Obama that we're seeing against Newt.

RUSH: Do you know what the Florida legislature is doing?  They are writing Allen West's district out of existence.

RUSH: The Mormon thing's been out there for so long, I don't think that's what this is.

RUSH: It's all feeding into this monster that the voters are out there saying, "Enough of this!"
