RUSH: There was a movie last night that I thought was gonna win that didn\u2019t. I know it wasn\u2019t eligible because it didn\u2019t start until this year. Wag the Contraceptive. Like Wag the Dog. A movie about a fake war. It was on television, Wag the Contraceptive, and better than anything that was on the roster of possible best movies last night. Wag the Contraceptive. <\/p>\n
It just continues. It continues and now, ladies and gentlemen, your host, I, the adorable, the lovable, the harmless, lovable little fuzzball, it\u2019s right here in the sound bites. I\u2019m overwhelmed, by the way, I got more than I can possibly get in here and that\u2019s sad \u2019cause it\u2019s all good. I, ladies and gentlemen, I am killing the Republican Party. I, your host, the lovable, adorable, harmless lovable little fuzzball am destroying the party. <\/p>\n
ABC\u2019s World News Weekend David Kerley. Are we ready to give this another wing? Here we try it again, take two, in three, two, one.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The Republican establishment is essentially saying that the conservatives are screwing everything up, making a mess of this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait just a second. In the first place, this is a crock because Santorum is talking about far more than just social issues. He\u2019s hitting the economy, he\u2019s doing all of this. But the social issues once again, Wag the Pill, Wag the Contraceptive, whatever, was brought up by the Democrats. They entered it into the fray and I\u2019m not gonna let anybody forget about it. The second thing is, ladies and gentlemen, that I don\u2019t believe the polling numbers. I\u2019ve got some polling numbers here in the Stack that show Obama\u2019s not doing well and the gas price is hurting him. And it\u2019s interesting, too, on that score, I\u2019ve got a couple of stories on why the gas price<\/a>, eight reasons — ten reasons — why the gasoline price is rising, and not one of them is to do with Obama. Both stories are efforts to protect him, to insulate him from having any role whatsoever in the rising gas price. Anyway, here is Joe Klein. This is Chris Matthews\u2019 syndicated show Sunday morning, and he\u2019s at TIME Magazine speaking with Matthews who said, “Democrats certainly keep these tapes of the Republican debates alive for the general, right, Joe?”<\/p>\n RUSH: Man, is the jealousy just not dripping in that remark. They\u2019re living in an alternative universe where I, Rush Limbaugh, am God. Here\u2019s how I look at this. ‘Cause all this is aimed at Santorum. Joe Klein, a great guy to tell us what\u2019s good for us. Joe Klein really wants Republicans to do well, right? Joe Klein really wants conservatives to triumph, right? ‘Cause Joe Klein\u2019s telling us, my God, you guys are drinking the Kool-Aid, you\u2019re going off the edge of the cliff here with Jim Jones as Rush Limbaugh, who\u2019s God. <\/p>\n Now, Rick Santorum and a lot of us, by the way, are simply defending the Constitution, which is under assault by this administration. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on here. The First Amendment is being shredded by the Obama regime. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on here. And we\u2019re defending the Constitution and Christianity. Now, I know, I have said, and I stand by it, nobody ever won anything by defending it. What are we supposed to do, though, here? Do we sit back and do nothing while the Constitution\u2019s under assault? Forget that it\u2019s Christianity or religion, the Constitution is under assault. The president doesn\u2019t have the power he\u2019s using. Not legally. So what\u2019s happening here is we are defending the Constitution and Christianity, both of which are the target of big government leftists and the media, people like this David Kerley guy and Joe Klein. <\/p>\n Now, Santorum, he may defend a little awkwardly here and there. I wouldn\u2019t say that what JFK ever said wanted to make me puke, like Santorum did, but the substance of what he said I can agree with. He\u2019s feisty, but the thing about Santorum, the reason they\u2019re upset about this is Santorum\u2019s not gonna back down, he\u2019s not gonna surrender, he\u2019s not gonna give away, he\u2019s not gonna be shut up on this. That\u2019s what bugs \u2019em. He\u2019s not, “Oh, I\u2019m sorry for bringing it up,” and running to the nearest corner and cowering. He\u2019s not doing that. When liberals attack religion as Obama is with this contraceptive rule, Obama\u2019s not asked about separation of church and state. Have you noticed this? This is a fundamentally key and profound point. <\/p>\n The left runs around with all this separation of church and state business. Santorum reacted to JFK\u2019s Catholic speech in 1960, and what basically JFK was, this an absolute separation, I will never ask a priest or a friend in religion for advice, that\u2019s not what the founders intended. This whole separation of church and state thing has been entirely manufactured and made up. The phrase is not even in the Constitution. And these leftists, they\u2019re the guys so concerned about separation of church and state. Let me tell you who\u2019s playing God, and that\u2019s Obama. Obama\u2019s playing God. <\/p>\n He thinks he\u2019s God, and he has been acting this way since the campaign started in 2007 or 2008. When Barack Obama tells the Catholic Church or its schools that it must make free contraceptives available, that\u2019s a violation of the First Amendment. He cannot do it. He is violating the precious separation of church and state. And when he does it he\u2019s never asked about it, is he? “Oh, no! Obama\u2019s never asked about it. Oh, no, can\u2019t do that! Why, Obama\u2019s on the right side of this, Obama\u2019s trying to shut up these dangerous, social-issue Christians. So it goes only for the left. The state, the regime, Obama, is free to impose its will on religious institutions all it wants.<\/p>\n But when the religious institution stands up and tries to exercise its faith in the public square, it\u2019s shot down. It\u2019s criticized. It\u2019s told it can\u2019t do so. “Separation of church and state!” Now, who said that these values issues are being debated anyway? Santorum has hammered Obamacare. <\/a>Santorum has hammered Romneycare. Romney and Santorum are all over the gas price issue. They are not ignoring economic issues. The emphasis in repeat weeks on social issues is due to the media. George Stephanopoulos, January 7th, bringing the whole subject of contraception up asking a question of Romney in a debate<\/a> in New Hampshire. Nobody was talking about it! Specifically the presidential candidates on the Republican side. Nobody was talking about it. They were all talking about the economy.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s why this came up, because they don\u2019t want the Republicans talking about the economy because it\u2019s a blithering failure on the part of Obama. They don\u2019t want \u2019em talking about it. That\u2019s why the whole contraception thing came up, and it came up precisely because Santorum and Romney and Newt are not ignoring economic issues. Now, if people are sick of these things — if you in the audience, if you\u2019re sick of this stuff being discussed — you\u2019re sick of the media, then. Don\u2019t be sick of the substantive responses that we\u2019re getting, here.<\/p>\n Now you have people saying that Rick Santorum “is ignoring real problems. He\u2019s talking about something because the media asks him about it. He needs to stay on message.” Why are we so afraid of the media? Let\u2019s attack the media then! If it\u2019s the media\u2019s fault, let\u2019s all join an attack on them. They\u2019re the ones trying to derail this, all for Obama. But you just keep in mind: The real denial of separation of church and state is being perpetrated by the White House. The real crossing of that line is not occurring with Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney or Gingrich or me or anybody else. It\u2019s happening with Barack Obama. The Democrats and the media, they\u2019re the ones blurring the line.<\/p>\n They\u2019re the ones trampling on religious freedom and religious liberty.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCIRPT<\/p>\n RUSH: You know, the real irony here, ladies and gentlemen, is that the Founding Fathers of this country wanted there to be no “religious test” for federal public office. There was not to be a state religion, and that\u2019s what the Constitution said. The original intent was that there not be an official religion and that there not be a religious test for federal public office. And what we have now, ironically, practically is a religious test. You cannot be religious and hold public office. You cannot be Christian. You cannot be pro-life and hold public office. That\u2019s what the Joe Klein, the Barack Obamas and this David Kerley clown at ABC are saying. If anybody is bastardizing the US Constitution, it\u2019s the Democrat Party. It is not the Republican presidential candidates.<\/p>\n It certainly is not I, the harmless, lovable little fuzzball, El Rushbo. Oh, there might be some kooky Republican talk show hosts that are trampling on the Constitution. I don\u2019t know who they are. But certainly nobody major. The left is where this is happening. Very simple. Now, there\u2019s polling data out there. Gallup\/USA Today poll: The Obamacare mandate is hurting Obama in the swing states. The respondents were asked: “Do you think the individual mandate under Obamacare is constitutional?” Seventy-five percent nationwide think the health care mandate is unconstitutional. Seventy-five percent in a Gallup\/USA Today poll.<\/p>\n It\u2019s massive, the percentage of people that want to repeal this.<\/p>\n In fact, in some of the battleground states (I have to say this) according to the poll, Romneycare seems to be hurting Romney a little bit. In head-to-head matchups, Santorum leads Obama 50-45. And yet Joe Klein and these guys want us to believe that all this is hurting the Republicans. It\u2019s the exact opposite. The Romney campaign and the Santorum campaign are all broad-based. They are hitting all cylinders in the campaign against Obama. They are answering questions from the media about this phony Wag the Pill issue that the Democrats have created on this contraception business. One more audio sound bite about how I, your host, am destroying the Republican Party. This was Saturday morning, MSNBC\u2019s Up with Chris Hayes. He had a guest on, some columnist named Victoria de Francesco. But he\u2019s the guy, Chris Hayes. This what he said…<\/p>\n RUSH: So we killed off McCain, too! So we destroyed the Republican Party this year. We\u2019re killing the Republican Party. And the ABC story basically that we played in the first sound bite is about how the Republican establishment is in panic over what I\u2019m doing. The Republican establishment is in panic over the fact I\u2019m killing the party, and you know how I\u2019m killing the party? By not relegating discussion of social issues for the ash heap. They don\u2019t want it talked about. “Oh, gawd. Oh-ho-ho, no!” They just can\u2019t handle it being discussed. They think it\u2019s gonna send the independents driving away. And the electoral history of it is anything but. I remind you again about the 2002 midterms.<\/p>\n Do you remember those? After the midterms were over, the exit polling data came out — and nobody believed it, but all of the exit polling data was that values played such a large role in Republicans winning in a midterm election where historically the party in power does not win seats, the Republicans gained seats. This was after 9\/11, true. And there was, at the time, universal support for George W. Bush. But still, it happened. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: There was a movie last night that I thought was gonna win that didn\u2019t.
