RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019ll make another prediction to you. Actually, not a prediction, a warning. Much as last Wednesday<\/a> I told you that the swing state polls that were coming up you should ignore, ignore the polls tomorrow after the debate tonight. The odds are that the polls are gonna be sampled in such a way that no matter how Romney does, they\u2019re gonna still gonna have polls that say “In the swing states, Obama carried the day.” You\u2019re gonna see it. Probably some Republican pollsters who are warning people that the Democrats already have the deck stacked in terms of their samples and so forth. And I\u2019m sure that that\u2019s true. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So this is just another warning. Don\u2019t let them succeed in getting you depressed. Romney could kick butt tonight, and the polls are probably already in the can that Obama won it. And part and parcel of this, too, is the expectations game the Democrats have played. The way it works is, “Oh, man, Obama doesn\u2019t have a chance, really. That\u2019s one weakness we all acknowledge that Obama\u2019s got. Romney, we\u2019ve seen him debate, he\u2019s really good at this. We expect Romney to win the debate.” So they set that up, and then the debate happens, and however it happens, the swing state polls tomorrow and the next day will show that Obama was thought to have won the debate, and, wow, did he really exceed expectations. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all a game, folks. It\u2019s all a game, and you and I are the pawns. They want us committing ourselves to the insane asylum. They want us getting depressed and in a funk trying to suppress our vote. That is their whole campaign. Voter suppression, try keep you so down in the dumps and depressed that you think it\u2019s hopeless and your vote doesn\u2019t count anyway. You\u2019re just one vote so why even show up. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kevin, northern Connecticut, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing, Rush? It\u2019s a pleasure.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was gonna call you for a couple weeks because something odd happened to me last month during Hurricane Isaac, or after the hurricane. The company I work for, which I won\u2019t name, was doing work at Lake Pontchartrain Elementary School in a cleanup effort. So, as you can probably remember, the president made a stop at this particular school. Which is okay. The thing that struck me as odd was, about an hour before he arrived, the forwarding team was there and there was a bunch of individuals collecting money for his campaign, saying how that, you know, he would really appreciate it. I kind of brushed it off, whatever. It was a stupid stunt on their part as far as I\u2019m concerned. There are people that are devastated and still are in bad shape today, but then when you brought up how he was bashing Republicans or white people for Katrina not being cleaned up any faster, it\u2019s appalling to me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s an excellent point. And how about all the flooding?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And how about all the droughts, and how about all the natural disasters that have occurred during Obama\u2019s regime and he hadn\u2019t given a diddly-squat about it, and nobody\u2019s held him accountable. And it doesn\u2019t matter what the race of the people. He hasn\u2019t made tracks to minority communities when they\u2019ve been devastated by some kind of natural disaster.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you go back, this tape from 2007<\/a>, Bush only cared about white people. That\u2019s why he didn\u2019t go to New Orleans. Didn\u2019t care. You\u2019re exactly right. It\u2019s another example in the never-ending list of examples of utter hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I hope they start to get pushed out into the open tonight when Governor Romney debates him, because as far as I\u2019m concerned, the country is at the tipping point where we\u2019re gonna lose it, and, you know, that, quote, unquote, 47%<\/a>, they don\u2019t care, because they\u2019ve already got what they want and they will always have it as long as he\u2019s in power.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, a lot of them look at it that way. As far as the debate\u2019s concerned, again, I just want to warn you, if you think Romney wins this thing big tonight, you\u2019re not gonna see that reflected anywhere. Oh, you might see an occasional Drive-By Media person praise Romney tonight or tomorrow, if he does well. That will be part of the game. Then the polls are gonna come out. Ha-ha. The polls are gonna come out and you\u2019re gonna wonder what country you live in. You\u2019re gonna wonder what country watched it. Turn the TV off after the debate. Spin rooms are the biggest waste of time. Why do you need to listen to a bunch of people tell you what you just saw? Why do you ebb need to listen to a bunch of people make excuses for the mistakes you just witnessed? Why do you need to have somebody explain to you how somebody just blew it, hit a home run, or verse vice-a?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, I kinda like the fact that Obama is using the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, as his debate rehearser. It\u2019s Kerry who\u2019s pretending to be Romney. And Kerry lost. I mean let\u2019s go to the bench that knows how to win, right? You go to the haughty John Kerry. We will see. A lot of people have a lot invested. You know, every call we\u2019ve had about the debate, every caller has had a specific thing he wants Romney to talk about. There are more things people want to hear than Romney can possibly mention tonight. And that sets something else up. Calls here tomorrow from people, “I really wanted Romney to talk about,” blah, blah, and, “I didn\u2019t hear him talk about it, it\u2019s over, blown opportunity. It was sitting there on a silver platter, he didn\u2019t talk about what I wanted to hear.” Just trying to warn you, just trying to prepare you. Snerdley will be on the lookout, but I\u2019m telling you, the phones are gonna be swamped tomorrow. The Spin Room will continue all day tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
