You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you doin\u2019? What I\u2019m calling about is these polls that have come out where Romney either trailing or close and some of them even have him in the lead. I\u2019m actually amazed that he\u2019s even that close in the polls. I think there are probably millions of Americans like myself who really are not Romney supporters, but I\u2019m absolutely gonna vote for the guy. And I think when that happens, I don\u2019t even think this thing\u2019s gonna be close.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ROmneyObamaSocialist.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: I think you\u2019ve hit on something here. I think &#8212; as hard as it was to understand what you were saying because of the cheap phone that you\u2019re using, I think &#8212; you are exactly right. Well, we have to admit this: There\u2019s not a whole lot of passionate excitement behind Romney. But the alternative? People don\u2019t want any more of this. They just don\u2019t. The frustrating thing with Romney &#8212; and the reason there\u2019s this lack of personal passion, this connection &#8212; is what he did the other day, yesterday. I\u2019ll play the sound bites. He was on with Larry Kudlow. Kudlow said, &#8220;Why single out the rich? Why not just have deductions for everybody?&#8221; A lot of people look at him as pandering, and out of a fear that he has to deal with this notion he\u2019s some rich guy and out of touch.<\/line><BR\/>But I think you make a great point.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites, because our last caller (even though he was on a cheap phone) is exactly right about Romney. The thing is, folks, the frustration that people have with Romney&#8230; And I know that many of you in the audience are passionate Romney supporters. I know you\u2019re out there. A lot of you are. The frustration is that the Republican nominee should be walking away with this. There is no way an incumbent president with this record should have a chance. There is no way an incumbent president with this record should even be running for reelection. Most of them would quit in shame, like LBJ did.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, in circumstances like this, the Democrat Party would be doing everything it could to get Obama not to run. Promise him leader of the world at the UN or something. Get somebody else in there. Even with the media in their back pocket. That\u2019s the frustrating part. This should not be close. And a lot of people think that if we had a pedal-to-the-metal, unafraid, cheerful conservative who every day could explain conservatism &#8212; because it is in his heart and he believes it &#8212; then it wouldn\u2019t even be a contest. There\u2019s never been this opportunity to draw such a contrast between us and the Democrats. It\u2019s never, ever been this stark. We\u2019re up against, for all intents and purposes, an admitted socialist. (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>No, I said &#8220;for all intents and purposes.&#8221; He denies it, but there\u2019s no doubt in anybody\u2019s mind. Let\u2019s go to some Romney sound bites. Here is Romney being interviewed on Breitbart TV. And, by the way, when I saw that he did this &#8212; I got on a plane last night to fly home and I saw this &#8212; I said, &#8220;Whoa.&#8221; Romney does surprise me, positively, and he\u2019s been doing that more and more lately. And this is one of those pleasant surprises. He was interviewed by Larry O\u2019Connor, the editor-in-chief at Breitbart TV, who said, &#8220;We, at Breitbart, and other conservative news sites have been tracking this, and we see all these independent organizations like Media Matters for America and Think Progress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are coordinating with Obama, getting these talking points out, lying about conservatives, lying about us. They\u2019re just literally making stuff up. They are the meanest, unhappiest people in the world out there. Now, you, Governor Romney, you are going to battle with the media, as well as the Democrats. You are going to battle with these nonprofit groups who are all working together. Are you really ready for this?&#8221; This was the question: Are you really ready for what\u2019s coming your way. Not just from Obama, but from the media and from all of their support groups, like Think Progress, MoveOn.org, Media Matters for America and all of that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/content.bitsontherun.com\/players\/IhrJeYAH-svqBtzyp.html\" width=\"575\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: There will be an effort by the, quote, &#8220;vast left-wing conspiracy&#8221; (chuckles) to work together to put out their message and to attack me. They\u2019re gonna do everything they can to divert from the issue people care most about, which is a growing economy that creates more jobs and rising incomes. That\u2019s what people care about. The Democrats know that given the president\u2019s record over the last three-and-a-half years, they cannot run on that record and therefore they will try and make this race about anything but the president\u2019s record and the economy. Many in the media are inclined to do the president\u2019s bidding, and I know that\u2019s a battle. It\u2019s an uphill battle we fight with the media generally.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, let me say one thing. A lot of you might be a little disappointed that he didn\u2019t go after the media harder. There is&#8230; I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s unwritten, but there\u2019s a rule. It is considered beneath a presidential candidate to attack the media. Whether you like the rule or not, it is considered by many to be a sign of weakness even though the media is what it is, totally stacked for Obama. I mean, the media is liberals. It is a bunch of leftists. It\u2019s not that they\u2019re objective people and have chosen sides. They are Obama. They are Axelrod. They\u2019re all the same people.<\/p>\n<p>But you know that going in. So to complain about it is not very manly. And Romney, it\u2019s good for him to acknowledge this. We want to hear that he understands it, but to go after \u2019em, it would be unseemly. It\u2019s the same thing, folks, as a teacher, after five years, complaining how little they\u2019re paid. Sorry. You knew that going in. It may be unfair, it may be, but you knew that going in. It\u2019s like there are over, I think, 1,200 former players in the National Football League who are joining up together in a series of class-action suits against the NFL because they claim that they suffered physical damage, brain damage while they played the game.<\/p>\n<p>The suit probably doesn\u2019t stand a prayer because the League never made anybody play the game, and everybody knows it. The players today who they\u2019re trying to help with rules changes, who are complaining about the rules changes&#8230;? Like just the other day, Vince Wilfork, who\u2019s a great defensive tackle for New England Patriots, says these quarterbacks are just a bunch of sissies. They make $30 million, a bunch of sissies! Hell, we can\u2019t hit the quarterback anymore. (This is in the midst of the league trying to protect the quarterback, trying to protect everybody, particularly with the focus on concussions.) So these players know it going in.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody held anything back. There wasn\u2019t research that the League knew about that they can give anybody. Players know it. So it\u2019s the same thing here: A Republican presidential candidate knows going in that the media is what it is. So you\u2019ve gotta be very careful. If you go after \u2019em, you cannot do it in such a way that people think that you\u2019re complaining, which Romney didn\u2019t do; don\u2019t misunderstand. He didn\u2019t do that. But a lot of supporters want to hear Romney attack the people who are the epitome of unfair, mean-spirited, caustic and all that. And it\u2019s a very fine line a Republican candidate has to walk.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like complaining about high humidity in August. &#8220;Well, what did you think it was gonna be when you agreed to go out and pick cotton in August? What did you&#8230;?&#8221; Well, I don\u2019t know if you pick cotton in August. Whatever. Gonna play football in August. What did you think the weather was gonna be? Gotta be very careful about things that you criticize \u2019cause it comes off as a complaint. When you knew going in that this was gonna be the rule, then it doesn\u2019t serve you well. Okay, we\u2019ll get two more sound bites in of Romney in his interview with Larry Kudlow who questioned Romney on his plan to limit tax deductions and not permit them for the rich.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ROmneyKudlow.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Last night on CNBC, Larry Kudlow\u2019s show called the Kudlow Report, had Mitt Romney.  He said, &#8220;You told a Florida group &#8211;&#8221; This was the fundraiser he had here this past Sunday evening.  &#8220;You told a Florida group, about eliminating income tax deductions for upper-end earners to pay for your 20 percent tax cut. You said second home mortgages, some state and local taxes. What can you tell us about that? It sounds pretty sensible. Are you staying with that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY:  Virtually all of the deductions and exemptions, particularly for high income taxpayers, are gonna be on the table, because we\u2019re gonna have to eliminate the &#8212; well, limit, rather, not eliminate, but limit for high-income individuals some of the deductions and exemptions in order to compensate for the reduction in rates.  Bring the rates down, the tax rates down, the top marginal rates down so businesses have an incentive to hire again and to grow, and to pay for that in part by limiting the deductions and exemptions, particularly in high-income folks because it is my intent not to reduce the burden paid by the top earners, but instead to maintain it at its current level, but to bring the rates down.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, remember, Kudlow has been&#8230; well, I don\u2019t want to sound disparaging.  Kudlow\u2019s been a supporter of Romney\u2019s for a long time.  I was gonna say &#8220;in the tank,&#8221; but that doesn\u2019t convey what I meant.  Kudlow has been really eager, he\u2019s been one of Romney\u2019s biggest supporters.  But he is hoping in this next bite, he\u2019s hoping he didn\u2019t hear what he just heard.  But Romney makes it clear, again, that he\u2019s going to accept the liberal premise that there\u2019s only a certain amount of tax revenue and that if you reduce rates, you have to make up revenue someplace.  See, that\u2019s the problem with this.  You don\u2019t have to pay for tax cuts.  The idea here is to shrink government.  We don\u2019t want to run around and say, &#8220;We got to pay for this tax cut, so we\u2019ll make sure that the rich don\u2019t get their deduction.&#8221;  What\u2019s the point?  They\u2019re the ones that hire. <\/p>\n<p>They are the ones who are going to produce these jobs that Romney is talking about.  Not to mention the fact that we\u2019re not talking about enough money here to make any difference.  It\u2019s no different than the Buffett Rule.  Five billion by making sure every millionaire pays at least 30%.  By the same token, so you don\u2019t let these rich people have their deductions, A, you\u2019re not gonna get that activity.  If they can\u2019t deduct it, they\u2019re not gonna do it, number one.  Number two, even if you go through with this, you\u2019re not raising that much money with this.  And that\u2019s what Kudlow understands.  So he said, &#8220;So you\u2019re sticking with it, you\u2019re not pulling back? There was a story in the New York Times, some of your aides were saying, &#8216;Oh, no, no, don\u2019t take that seriously.\u2019 It sounds like you\u2019re staying with it. Some of these deductions are going to have to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY:  We are going to limit deductions and exemptions, particularly for high-income individuals.  As to which specifics and how much the limits will be and what income levels they\u2019ll be limited, that\u2019s something which time will tell. We\u2019ll work out that with Congress, but we\u2019re gonna have to broaden the tax base and limit some deductions and exemptions if we\u2019re gonna compensate for the reduction in rates.  I\u2019m not looking to reduce the burden paid by the high-income earners.  I know the Democrats always want to say Republicans are in favor of tax cuts for the rich.  That is simply not true.  I\u2019m in favor of more jobs for everyone.  But I want the taxes to be down. I want the burden to be reduced on middle-income taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  This is, sadly, what I meant yesterday when I said that I think Governor Romney has a little <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15925\">embarrassment about his wealth<\/a>.  And he\u2019s also very sensitive to the charge that he\u2019s one of these insensitive rich guys.  So, in his mind, what better way to compensate for that than to soak the rich.  If not soak the rich, deny the rich what you\u2019re giving everybody else.  That way he thinks they can\u2019t say that he\u2019s an out of touch rich guy.  They\u2019re gonna say that if he lost everything tomorrow.  They\u2019re going to say that.  So it\u2019s accepting a Democrat premise here.  You can broaden the base &#8212; The problem with these deductions is if you take them away, or if you don\u2019t give &#8212; the rates, Everybody fears the rates are gonna go back up at some point the minute the deductions are gone, and where are we?  We learned that from the \u201986 code change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Dave in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hi.
