RUSH: Jeb Bush on Meet the Press Sunday morning, David Gregory talked to him, “How much do you get your back up when you hear this president blame a lot of our economic condition on your brother, his predecessor?”<\/p>\n

JEB BUSH: I think it\u2019s time for him to move on. I mean, look, the guy was dealt a difficult hand, no question about it, but he\u2019s had three years. His policies have failed. And rather than blame others, which I know we were taught that that was kind of unbecoming, over time you just can\u2019t keep doing that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, that\u2019s gonna really make him stop. So Jeb Bush says to Obama, “You ought to stop blaming my brother. It\u2019s been three and a half years, you\u2019re on your own, pal.” Why should he stop? It\u2019s working. He\u2019s a nice guy. Obama\u2019s a nice guy. That\u2019s the theme of the Republican convention. He\u2019s a nice guy. He\u2019s just incompetent<\/a>. He\u2019s a nice guy. That\u2019s what the Republicans have told The Politico the theme of the convention is. He\u2019s a nice guy. So Gregory then said to Jeb Bush, “You\u2019ve talked about wanting for the Republican Party to lead a nation of converts. That people become Republicans based on ideas, based on leadership. You look at the gender gap right now between the president and Governor Romney. It is in the president\u2019s favor. Among Hispanics, he\u2019s got two-thirds of the Hispanic vote. Younger viewers, our polling on African-Americans, zero for Mitt Romney. Are you concerned that the Republican Party is not making much progress toward becoming a nation of converts, politically, philosophically?”<\/p>\n

JEB BUSH: Our demographics are changing, and we have to change not necessarily our core beliefs, but the tone of our message and the message and the intensity of it for sure. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna have an impact in this election, though. I mean so there\u2019s a gender gap in favor of President Obama among women, in a dead heat there\u2019s obviously gonna be a gender gap in favor — for men in favor of Romney. And this is gonna be a close election, but long-term, conservative principles, if they\u2019re to be successful and implemented, there has to be a concerted effort to reach out to a much broader audience than we do today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. There you have it: Jeb Bush. Long-term conservative principles, if they\u2019re to be successful and implemented, there has to be a concerted effort to reach out to a much broader audience than we do today. Now, how would you translate that? Mr. Snerdley has just nailed it. We need to reach out to the Hispanic vote, and the way we do that is make a deal on immigration. That\u2019s what Jeb Bush thinks we have to do. Now, our old buddy Jim Pethokoukis — by the way, I never met the guy. I just call him our old buddy. He may hate me. Although, I\u2019ve never heard from him, he\u2019s never told me to stop quoting him, so I don\u2019t think he hates me, but I don\u2019t really know. He\u2019s my old buddy ideologically. I think we\u2019re on the same page ideologically. He\u2019s in Tampa at what was to have been a Republican convention today.<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A little post here at American Enterprise Institute website, AE Ideas. He\u2019s a thinker at the think tank AEI. And the headline here: “What a Gloomy GOP Campaign Guru Just Told Me in Tampa” Want to hear this? “A new Washington Post-ABC News poll has Mitt Romney up by a point over Barack Obama 47% to 46%. (46% is a truly horrible number for an incumbent.)” That\u2019s true. “But it is going to take more than a few narrow polls to change what I sense to be the widespread mood here that Romney is very narrowly losing.” So Pethokoukis is in Tampa. He\u2019s talking to Republican establishment guys. He\u2019s picking up on the fact that they are gloomy, that they think Romney is narrowly losing, but they say that the race remains winnable. <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the next part: “So it was with great interest that I listened to the thoughts a longtime, much-respected GOP operative, whom I will nickname the Gloomy Guru.” Okay, a “much-respected GOP operative” is probably a consultant. I wouldn\u2019t know who this is. There\u2019s not enough data. But here\u2019s what the Gloomy Guru said to our old buddy Jim Pethokoukis. “Romney will win North Carolina. Ohio is iffy in GG\u2019s view, though one very smart, very connected Ohio [Republican] thinks the state is lost.”<\/p>\n

A “very connected Ohio” Republican establishment guy says Ohio is lost. “New Mexico is lost.” This is the mood in Tampa, folks! This is the mood that Pethokoukis is running into talking to establishment Republicans establishment. Yeah, we\u2019re gonna win North Carolina. Ohio\u2019s lost. “New Mexico\u2019s lost. Colorado [is] looking good.” Pennsylvania, don\u2019t kid me. We\u2019re never gonna win Pennsylvania. Anybody who thinks we\u2019re gonna win Pennsylvania is an idiot. “Pennsylvania is fool\u00c2\u2019s gold, not going to happen.” We\u2019re not gonna win Pennsylvania. Don\u2019t even think about it.<\/p>\n

“Wisconsin can happen. Virginia will be a dogfight [and] is critical.” And then it concludes with this: “If Romney loses, there will be war in the GOP over immigration and how [the] party is connecting — or, rather, not connecting — with Hispanic voters. Sticking Marco Rubio or some other profile Hispanic politician on the ticket is not enough.” The Gloomy Guru was “[v]ery adamant about this.” So, folks, I just want you to know that the Republican establishment (which is not conservatives) are gloomy, they are pessimistic, and to them it\u2019s all going to be our fault if we lose.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they\u2019re setting up.<\/p>\n

They are setting up that it\u2019s going to the fault of all of us conservatives if they lose, because we will not bend on amnesty for illegals. That\u2019s how to translate this. Republican establishment types in Tampa are depressed, gloomy. We are gonna lose, and it\u2019s all because of immigration. “And putting Rubio on the ticket wouldn\u2019ta mattered. You can\u2019t just do symbolic stuff. We gotta go to the core of it! We gotta realize that we\u2019re not gonna ever win anything as long as we\u2019re opposed to amnesty.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what it means.<\/p>\n

Sadly, these are the guys running the show in Tampa.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start in Akron, Ohio. Lisa, glad you waited. Great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m not happy with anything you\u2019ve said today so far. I almost drove off the road at the start of the program, and I started pushing the buttons on my telephone (beep) to get through. I don\u2019t know who this Republican Party is anymore that I am supposed to be a part of and to be represented by. I look at the RNC, and I look at Mitt Romney and what is being articulated, that Mr. Obama is a nice guy? Well, I went to see 2016 this weekend, Rush, and Dinesh D\u2019Souza<\/a> has given the Republican Party and America a gift of total exposure of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Who he is, what he wants, and what he wants for our country and the world. I\u2019m sorry I cut you off. I\u2019m so angry that this is out there and the Republicans are not using it for inspiration and information.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re scared by it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What? How can they be!<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re scared. They really are. I\u2019m gonna tell you what I\u2019ve always told you, and I guess it\u2019s still true, Lisa. The Republican brain trust, the consultants, have told everybody else in the party that the moderates and the independents do not like partisanship. They don\u2019t like criticism. So, you know, “Mentioning Obama\u2019s record? That may be criticizing Obama. We can\u2019t do that! We could do it in the context that, ‘He can\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing and he\u2019s incompetent.'” But, you\u2019re right, a lot of people saw 2016 this weekend. And it does. It perfectly lays out who the guy is. It\u2019s a blueprint for defeating him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, do you really believe that the moderates aren\u2019t capable of balancing truth against fiction? And do we really believe that they are not able to make a sound decision?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I don\u2019t believe any of that. <\/p>\n

RUSH: A previous caller asked me there in the nick of time, at the end of time, if I believe that moderates look at the world the way the Republican consultants say they do. I do not. I think it\u2019s a trick. I think it\u2019s been a trick the Democrats have used for decades, and I\u2019m stunned that our side keeps falling for it. The trick is: “These independents don\u2019t like criticism! They don\u2019t like raised voices! They don\u2019t like partisanship! It makes them nervous.<\/p>\n

“And whenever the Republicans get critical of President Obama, these independents just run right back to the Democrats and vote for them.” I don\u2019t believe that for a minute! If it were the case, we wouldn\u2019ta had the 2010 midterms turn out the way they did. The independents ran away from Obama in droves. This is a trick that the Democrats and the media have been running, and our consultants buy it. But, folks, there\u2019s something else going on here as well, and it\u2019s this.<\/p>\n

And you know it as well as I do. You just may need to be reminded of it.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in the Republican establishment, there are a lot of people who are totally… I wish I could use a colloquial term to describe \u2019em here. They are just absorbed in immigration. They just want amnesty. It\u2019s the only thing that matters to them. They think that that\u2019s the road to riches. They think it\u2019s the road to dominance. They think it\u2019s the road to wiping out the Democrat Party. They think it\u2019s the road to whatever they think they want to happen.<\/p>\n

Amnesty is the way to get there. They\u2019re just absorbed in that, singularly focused on it. And Jim Pethokoukis running into his Gloomy Guru. The Gloomy Guru let the cat out of the bag. It\u2019s all about immigration. Jeb Bush thinks it\u2019s all about immigration. Plus this notion that the independents and the moderates don\u2019t like conflict. Now, I\u2019m blue in the face saying this. Apparently the independents think it\u2019s fine when the president accuses Mitt Romney of killing a guy\u2019s wife.<\/a><\/p>\n

That somehow doesn\u2019t make \u2019em nervous. Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz<\/a> and all of her incendiary stupidity, that doesn\u2019t make the independents nervous. Not one thing the Democrats do makes \u2019em nervous. None of their partisanship makes independents nervous. We never hear, do we…? Do we never hear from anybody: “You Democrats, you better watch your mouths! You better watch your tone. You\u2019re gonna send these independents running right to the Republicans”? Somehow we never hear that, do we?<\/line><\/p>\n

We only hear it\u2019s the Republicans have to clam up. It\u2019s the Republicans who have to shut up. It\u2019s the Republicans who have to put shackles on themselves, otherwise the independents and moderates are gonna run right back to Democrats. I myself have never bought it. I think it\u2019s a trick. But the Republican consultancy (as a community or as a group) buys it, and that\u2019s what they tell all their candidates that hire \u2019em. And that\u2019s how we get… How else do you think we\u2019re gonna get, “Oh, he\u2019s nice guy. He\u2019s just incompetent” as a convention theme?<\/p>\n

How do you think somebody\u2019s a nice guy who runs an ad claiming that you killed a guy\u2019s wife? How do you even think of somebody as a nice guy? “Well, Rush, he doesn\u2019t really think he\u2019s a nice guy. He thinks that\u2019s what he has to do.” Right. Why does he think he has to say that? Because these consultants have been telling us that for years and years. Now look: Republicans have to moderate their tone \u2019cause of the hurricane<\/a>. Do you think if this hurricane hits Texas, the Drive-Bys are gonna spend a day covering it? I guarantee you they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

If this hurricane misses New Orleans, they\u2019re not gonna spend much time talking about it. New Orleans is the key. Maybe if they can show flooding or ramshackle destruction in places that you would think Democrats live, then they\u2019ll spend some time on it. But New Orleans is the key for \u2019em \u2019cause that\u2019s Katrina and \u2019cause everything is politicized. But what evidence do we have that Obama\u2019s a nice guy anyway? Where does that come from? Well, I know where it comes from. It comes from this idea that we can\u2019t be critical of him.<\/p>\n

And, of course, there\u2019s the racial factor, too, that the Republican consultants hamstring themselves. “Well, we can\u2019t be critical of him anyway because he\u2019s black, and we just can\u2019t do that! They\u2019re gonna call us racists and so forth and so on.” So we allow ourselves to be shackled. We do it to ourselves by believing this. But to answer the woman\u2019s question: No, I don\u2019t think independents are that fickle. Now, moderates are a different group. Moderates are just liberals that don\u2019t have the guts to say so. Independents are not the same bunch of people.<\/p>\n

Steve in Memphis, I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s truly a great honor, and thank you for being a voice for the heart and soul of America.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I really appreciate it. Rush, I\u2019ll tell you, I drive a truck coast to coast, and it\u2019s not Hurricane Isaac that we\u2019re all worried about; it\u2019s Hurricane Obama. I\u2019ve got a beach house in Ocean City. I\u2019m from Ocean City, Maryland. I live along the beach. So we\u2019ve been through some hurricanes. The hurricane blows over, we clean some things up, straighten up, and life\u2019s back to usual. After Hurricane Obama, it\u2019s not just cleaning up and life goes on as usual. Hurricane Obama… If you put Hurricane Obama up to a radar plot for Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Obama dwarfs it ten times fold. The storm surge alone is gonna wipe us out. It\u2019s just something we\u2019re all fearful of.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see, you and I, we\u2019re on the same page about that. I think it\u2019s a good analogy, too. Hurricane Obama, you don\u2019t rebuild from it. But the thing about that is the Republican leadership… I\u2019m convinced, especially reading the Gloomy Guru from our old buddy Jim Pethokoukis who talked to the Gloomy Guru in Tampa. I think the Republican establishment does not see this election the way you and I do. This is not, as far as they\u2019re concerned, a defining moment for the country.<\/p>\n

And Obama\u2019s presidency is not a defining moment for the future of the country. He\u2019s just the latest Democrat to be elected. This is just another election cycle. And unusually incumbents win. “It\u2019s very difficult to unseat incumbents.” You know, I have to laugh at these people, too. These establishment types. (This comment\u2019s not aimed at Romney.) You remember all during the primaries, the establishment types told us the reason… Do you remember this, Mr. Snerdley? Let\u2019s see if your political memory is up to snuff today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What was the reason the establishment told us that Romney was the only real chance we had? (interruption) He was the only guy who could get elected. Forget how. They told us, “Romney\u2019s the only one who can win. Newt can\u2019t get elected.” By the way, the Republican establishment had no problems telling us what a mean SOB Newt is. And there was none of this, “Well, you know, Santorum\u2019s a nice guy. He\u2019s just incompetent.”<\/p>\n

I mean, Romney clearly has the ability — or his super PAC, they clearly have the ability — to run out and be critical of their opponents. But Mitt is saying (he said it to Politico and others), “No, it\u2019s not who I am. I am who I am, and I don\u2019t do that. If people are looking for me go out, roll up the sleeves, and start beating people up, that\u2019s not who I am.” Tell Newt that. (chuckles) Tell Santorum that. Tell Rick Perry that.<\/p>\n

But these establishment guys, they told us that Romney\u2019s the only guy that can win. But now the establishment guys, I am convinced, are positioning themselves for 2016. That\u2019s what I think this is all about. When I hear them saying, “Ohio? Nah, not Ohio.” I think we can win Ohio! We\u2019re leading in Ohio right now. The Washington Post\/ABC poll is out. And it\u2019s got Romney up by a point, but it\u2019s the first time Romney\u2019s been up in that poll.<\/p>\n

On Good Morning America they didn\u2019t even give the numbers of this poll for the first hour of their show. They\u2019re trying to deemphasize it. The incumbent president is at 46%. I don\u2019t care where Romney is. An incumbent president under 50% in any poll is a bad sign, and it\u2019s a warning. Yet the Gloomy Guru, whoever he is (probably an Ohio consultant), is running around telling people, “Ah, no chance in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

“No chance in Ohio. That\u2019s lost. Yeah, we\u2019re gonna win North Carolina. Virginia, maybe.” I think these guys have already figured we\u2019re gonna lose and they\u2019re positioning themselves for 2016. ‘Cause this is not a defining moment. It\u2019s just next election in the cycle. And they\u2019re hell-bent on immigration, these establishment guys. Whoever they are, they\u2019re hell-bent on it. They have a singular focus on that that arouses my curiosity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
