RUSH: I watched a little bit of this last night, folks, it\u2019s the job. This I couldn\u2019t farm out to anybody. And I was stunned. I was stunned. There were two conventions. The two hours before the big network cameras started showing things it was the Democrat Party we know. It was pedal to the metal abortion. Auto bailout. It was Republicans are Nazis<\/a>, all that stuff. Starting about 9 p.m., they started lying, and nothing that was said after 9 p.m., I don\u2019t think anybody believed. I don\u2019t care who the speaker was. I don\u2019t think they believed a word of what was said from 9 p.m. on. <\/p>\n

Now, before 9 p.m., late yesterday afternoon it was discovered, a DNC video, the government is the only thing we all belong to<\/a>. That\u2019s the Democrat Party we know. What I want to know is where was the testimony for the 99 weeks of unemployment that they\u2019re responsible for? Where was the promise for 99 more weeks? Where was the promise of additional entitlements? Where was the promise that the government\u2019s going to take care of you even more regardless the shape of the economy? Where was the pride? Where was the attempt to take credit for all the people on food stamps? The things the Democrats are truly proud of they hid last night when the cameras were on, when everybody was paying attention. I don\u2019t know what the numbers were. I don\u2019t know what the ratings are. <\/line><\/p>\n

You know, those Castro brothers. I thought when this guy, Julian Castro, started talking about Democrats lifting themselves up by the bootstraps I thought somebody might grab a hook and yank that guy off the stage. What in the world is he talking about? Self-reliance? Then he tried to pass it off, “Well, we in Texas are about the only ones that have bootstraps anymore.” So he tried to cover it. But there were a number of instances like that that had me scratching my head. But they\u2019ve learned. Everybody talks about the most often used word last night was “Barack.” Maybe it was. But the second-most often used word, after ‘I” and “me,” was “values.” They kept talking about their values and everybody else\u2019s values and American values and so forth. Things they never talk about. <\/p>\n

They took God out of the platform.<\/a> Dick Durbin went on Fox, the Bret Baier show, the one from six to seven, and Bret Baier, we\u2019ve got the audio coming up. Bret Baier said, “Why did you take God out –” (imitating Durbin) “Don\u2019t you dare. Look, both parties believe in God. We\u2019re God fearing.” “I just said, why did you take it out?” “Why are you asking me? Who do you think you are?” Didn\u2019t want to go anywhere near it. Then Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz openly lying about what the Israeli ambassador said about the Republicans, caught red-handed in a lie about it. But then 9 p.m. came and I swear there were elements of this convention that were more conservative than ours. I know they didn\u2019t believe a word of it. They don\u2019t believe a word of it, but they\u2019ve obviously made a marketing decision. <\/line><\/p>\n
