\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start in Pittsburgh. This is Bob. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. This is a pleasure for me to be able to speak to you today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I\u2019ve been a listener only since the days of Operation Chaos, and before that I was one of those hard-core Democrat union goons, but I\u2019ve come a long way and have to thank you for that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Welcome home, sir. Welcome home.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What I\u2019m thinking about today is not… So the blood is in the water. Obama has been caught red-handed lying and doubling down. I\u2019m thinking that maybe some of his other base groups are now gonna start to think, “Well, maybe I\u2019ve been scammed and lied to as well.” You know, he lied to the unions bald-faced in 2008 about Card Check. He needed their votes. He\u2019s lied to the greens. He\u2019s lied to the LGBTs.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s lied to Israel about supporting them for no other reason than votes and support, and he thinks nothing about lying and doubling down on lying and deceit because it\u2019s more or less inbred into him. He\u2019s been raised, he\u2019s been mentored, he\u2019s been educated like that by people like Frank Marshall Davis and Derrick Bell, and it\u2019s in his nature to lie just as it is yours to tell the truth. But I think that now maybe some of these other groups that he\u2019s been scamming and taking advantage of or lying to over these last five years —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna happen. I respectfully disagree. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s gonna do anything to upset his base here. His base is gonna support him because he lies. His base is gonna applaud him getting Obamacare passed with a lie. That\u2019s kind of thing they love. The people here that are perhaps movable at some point are what I call the low-information crowd, the people that are not passionately political but to whom their health care really matters. I mean, it\u2019s the most important thing in their life and they trusted the guy.<\/line><\/p>\n

They voted for him.<\/p>\n

They thought he was unique.<\/p>\n

They thought he was a unifier!<\/p>\n

They thought he was gonna bring people together, thought he was gonna fix problems. He\u2019s lied to them. He\u2019s destroyed the public trust. He told them they could keep their plans and he told them it was gonna be cheaper, and it\u2019s none of that. It\u2019s that group of people that he has broken this bond of trust with. No, his base is gonna applaud this. His base is gonna celebrate the fact he got this done by lying. That\u2019s the kind of thing that makes them happy. His base is corrupt as he is. They\u2019re never gonna abandon him.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the low-information crowd here that\u2019s at risk, and the media knows it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So look at this, folks. This is from The Daily Caller, and the headline: “Swing Voters Have Turned Against Obama, Says New Poll — A new poll shows that non-ideological swing voters have walked away from President Barack Obama, which could sharply reduce his political influence and power.” This is an Ed Goeas poll. You know, he\u2019s half of the Battleground Poll with Celinda Lake, and he\u2019s a good pollster. He did this poll with Brian Nienaber, and it\u2019s a poll of 1,000 likely voters, 60% swing voters, unfavorable image of Obama. Thirty-six percent favorable. It is the George Washington University Battleground Poll released yesterday.<\/p>\n

Swing voters, I don\u2019t want to insult \u2019em here, but that\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about, low-information voters, the non-base. Obama\u2019s base, I\u2019m telling you, the Daily Kos kids, all these people out there, these Democrat Underground type sites, they\u2019re applauding Obama lying. Whatever it takes to beat us. The fact that he told this big a lie and got away with it and got health care, that makes him a superhero to them. The more deceitful you get away with being, the bigger Obama is to his base, folks. Remember, they\u2019re radicals. They\u2019re irrational, off the wall, deadbeat radicals. He\u2019s never gonna lose them. But there\u2019s a reason he\u2019s at 39%, and it\u2019s these nonideological types that believed everything he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
