Well, they didn\u2019t turn out in Wisconsin. They didn\u2019t turn out in North Carolina. But guess where they did turn out?<\/p>\n<p>Democrats turned out big time in West Virginia in the presidential primary to vote for an inmate. A federal prisoner, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0038M2APA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theoffiwebs0d-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B0038M2APA\">the Boyd Crowder of West Virginia<\/a>. Federal inmate 11593-051. There\u2019s a picture of the guy. Let me see if it\u2019s still up. Let me check real quick. Yep, there\u2019s a picture of the guy on Drudge, a picture of Inmate 11593-051. This is the guy that gave Obama a run for his money in West Virginia. Now, ask yourself this, folks. Why would Democrats in West Virginia vote for a federal inmate as opposed to a president, a sitting president in their own party?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_62220\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Justified.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Maybe it is something very simple, very common sense, and very explainable. Maybe it\u2019s that the people of West Virginia realize that Barack Obama poses the biggest threat to their livelihood of anybody on the ballot this time around. With his attacks on the coal industry, with his attacks on the oil industry, with his attacks on natural gas, with his attacks on conventional energy, with his promotion of green energy shutting down all these jobs that exist in West Virginia.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And even now the media (as we\u2019re doing, too, I will admit) is looking at the results yesterday: &#8220;What will be the effect on Obama?&#8221; How about this? Could we once look at what the effect be on the country will be? Because that\u2019s what the people voting on voting on. Yes, it\u2019s Obama that\u2019s getting them out. There wasn\u2019t a single, singular Republican leader on a ballot yesterday. You had Mourdock in Indiana and Scott Walker attracting votes, but there wasn\u2019t a presidential candidate on the ballot yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>There were ideas. Ideas were on ballots yesterday. Ideas are what triumphed. And it was conservative ideas that skunked socialist utopianism yesterday. So the Democrats don\u2019t turn out in North Carolina. They don\u2019t turn out in Wisconsin. But they do turn out in the Democrat primary in West Virginia. And in eight &#8212; maybe more &#8212; counties, they beat Obama with a federal inmate. If I didn\u2019t know better, I would say there is a War on Obama being waged by the Democrats!<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>It certainly looks that way to me. It looks to me like Democrats in West Virginia want jobs. It would appear to me that Democrats in West Virginia want lower gasoline prices. They want higher home values. They want more disposable income. They don\u2019t want people telling them what kind of light bulb they have to buy! They don\u2019t want a bunch of nameless bureaucrats running around talking about &#8220;crucifying&#8221; energy executives. But you see, the Democrats in West Virginia figured out their president put a moratorium on drilling for oil in the Gulf and refused to okay the Keystone pipeline.<\/line><BR\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HlTxGHn4sH4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/line><\/p>\n<p>He spent a trillion dollars on nonexistent &#8220;shovel-ready jobs.&#8221; He ran up $5 trillion in new debt in 3-1\/2 years, yet Americans are fleeing the job market due to utter frustration. There is no improvement in the job market. There\u2019s no economic growth. There\u2019s no reason to reelect the guy, and Democrats in at least eight counties in West Virginia said, &#8220;We\u2019d rather have an inmate from a federal prison than Barack Obama.&#8221; Now, they don\u2019t really mean that, but it\u2019s a protest vote.<\/p>\n<p>Oh! And there\u2019s the Occupy Wall Street riots.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, these are things that are supposed to coalesce the vote for Obama. That\u2019s what the media tells us. It\u2019s another reason all these people, from whatever party, showed up and voted the way they did yesterday. I firmly believe this. I think an incalculable number of Americans, a vast majority, are also voting against the media. I think they\u2019ve had it. I think they\u2019ve had it with the obvious lies &#8212; not just bias, but the insults to their intelligence &#8212; with the daily reporting of Obama and the economy as though this is just normal standard fare.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats running it for four years, then Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>No! People realize we\u2019ve not had to deal with things like this before. This is not how things happen in this country. It\u2019s no wonder the Democrats are the ones that are so angry, is it? It\u2019s interesting and amazing to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Democrats did turn out. Well, they didn\u2019t turn out in Wisconsin.
