RUSH: “Record Preference for One-Party Rule.” This is a Gallup poll. No. No, folks! (chuckling) You haven\u2019t heard anything yet. Get this. This is quite disturbing. You know, what have we been told the past…? Well, all of my life, but let\u2019s focus on the last eight years. I take it back. <\/p>\n

No, let\u2019s add Obama\u2019s 3-1\/2 years<\/a>. What have we been told the last 12 years? Bipartisanship! We\u2019ve been told that the American people want cooperation. We\u2019ve been told the American people want people in the different parties to work together. We\u2019ve been told that we need people who will cross the aisle and work with the other side to get things done for the people of this country. Have we not? We have been drowning in this. <\/p>\n

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

We\u2019ve been hit every which way possible with the notion that “bipartisanship” and “cooperation,” that\u2019s what people want. Until today. From Gallup: A record number of people now claim they prefer to be “ruled” by one party. Question: “Do you think it\u2019s better for the country to have a president who comes from the same political party that controls Congress, does it make no difference either way, or do you think it\u2019s better to have a president from one party and a Congress controlled by the other?”<\/p>\n

Thirty-eight percent “same party;” 33% “no difference;” 23% “different parties.” <\/p>\n

So we\u2019re not at 50% here. But we\u2019re suddenly told here, ladies and gentlemen — and this is a record high, this 38% number. We\u2019re suddenly told that a record high 38% of Americans want the same party to control the presidency and Congress, while a record low (23%) say divided government would be better. And that\u2019s the biggest gap that Gallup has ever found. In fact, Gallup claims that many Americans are experiencing “divided-government fatigue.” <\/p>\n

Yet, as I said, we are constantly told by the news media that voters want more compromise, more bipartisanship, more reaching across the aisle. But only from the Republicans, of course. See, the Democrats can be as partisan as they want. The Democrats can be as mean-spirited and extreme as they want. The independents don\u2019t care about that. Republicans though? If they criticize our president, why, the independents don\u2019t want any part of that!<\/p>\n

Independents want people like McCain. <\/p>\n

The American people want candidates like McCain who are gonna work with people across the aisle, compromise, and get along. In fact, according to the Gallup when you get further into the numbers, Democrats favor one-party rule far more than Republicans, 49% to 36%. And yet we\u2019re always told it\u2019s the Republicans who want to govern with an iron fist. We\u2019re told that it\u2019s Republicans who hate compromising. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, historically Democrats have always had a thing for Third World, strongman-style government like Stalin, Castro, Hugo Chavez. It\u2019s the Democrats that admire those guys. It\u2019s the media that go all groupie when they sit down and interview dictators. So isn\u2019t it amazing? AP says today that Obama can now call himself “a job creator,”<\/a> the right track\/wrong track is now firmly in support of Obama, the Clinton bump, and the American people think Obama\u2019s the best guy to do the economy.<\/p>\n

Nobody coulda done better \u2019cause he really cares about you. See, Romney doesn\u2019t. Romney doesn\u2019t care. Romney\u2019s a Republican. Romney wants to take away every safety net. He wants to take away all the assistance of people. Romney wants people to starve and go thirsty and so forth. His campaign\u2019s a wet noodle. His campaign\u2019s uninspiring. Nobody\u2019s excited about it. Romney\u2019s X. He\u2019s not a conservative. Everything, it\u2019s just horrible.<\/p>\n

And now, in addition to all that — magically — the American people want all-Democrat rule all the time, from Gallup. Isn\u2019t it amazing? Gallup was number 17 or 18 in terms of accuracy and predicting the \u201908 presidential race. Yes, Gallup was number 18. Rasmussen was number one. So, “Americans\u2019 Preference Shifts Toward One-Party Government.” Yep. And, of course, what party would that be? We all know: Democrats! So it\u2019s amazing what can happen here in a rotten economy. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unprecedented. <\/p>\n

Americans are losing household income, losing jobs, going further in debt, more in debt with student loans, kids can\u2019t find work — and, man, we\u2019ve never had anybody better running the show! And we\u2019ve never had anybody better qualified, according to Bill Clinton. And there\u2019s nobody who coulda done any better, and there\u2019s nobody that cares any more. Besides, the Romney campaign\u2019s horrible and the Romney is not inspiring anybody.<\/p>\n

So now the American people want one-party rule. And only a UFO can save Romney who, by the way, is in Pennsylvania today. Why would Romney be in Pennsylvania? In fact, why is Romney still campaigning? But why is he in Pennsylvania? I mean, that\u2019s supposed to be hopeless for Romney, right? He got no chance whatsoever in Pennsylvania. What\u2019s he doing wasting time and money in Pennsylvania? I don\u2019t know, folks. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: This Gallup poll that shows that a majority of Amer… Well, no. It\u2019s a plurality. It\u2019s not 50% yet, but the largest percentage of people ever say they want one-party rule. Right? Now, from 2009 through 2010, we had one-party rule. We had the Democrats owning the House of Representatives; the Democrats owned the United States Senate; and, of course, “Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!” was in the White House. <\/p>\n

We had one-party control. <\/p>\n

And then what happened in 2010? There was an historic landslide defeat for that one party in control. The Democrats lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives. So we had two years of one-party rule, and this is what Gallup says the American people now prefer. And 49% of Democrats prefer that. And yet, just two years ago the American people overwhelmingly, in a landslide, rejected one-party rule. Hmm! I wonder how that kind of thing happens. Now, don\u2019t forget that Clinton bump. <\/p>\n

Yeah, at the Democrat convention. Clinton said that nobody coulda done any better than Obama fixing the economy, not even himself, nobody. And there\u2019s nobody that cares about people and wanting to fix this any more than Barack Obama. And Michelle Obama told us how much he cares and how hard he works, and that\u2019s all he thinks about. Oh, and the Romney campaign is just a wet noodle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
