RUSH: Let me tell you something here, folks, very quickly before we go to the thing I promised to do. The difference here at the moment is a lot of the Republican establishment — the insiders, the Republicans who want to keep spending money — see Newt <\/a>as a disaster waiting to happen for THEM: for their futures, for their political opportunity, for their chance to win the Senate and the committee chairmanships and be in control of the money. But a large part of the Republican rank and file, a large part of the Republican base don\u2019t see Newt as the answer. That\u2019s not what\u2019s going on here. The Tea Party\/Republican base voters are trying to send a message to the establishment, and Newt is the guy doing it.<\/p>\n

The Tea Party, the Republican base know they\u2019ve got nothing without the Republican Party. You can\u2019t go third party. This internecine stuff has gotta stop. Newt is articulating what the base thinks about our op-po-si-tion! Newt is telling the Republican establishment and the media and the consultants, “This is how we view the opposition! This is how we want you to view the opposition. This is how we want to campaign against the opposition. Now, you go find a candidate we can support! Don\u2019t give us somebody who\u2019s not gonna do this! Don\u2019t give us somebody who doesn\u2019t believe this. Don\u2019t give us some namby-pamby wimp who is scared that everything he does is gonna anger somebody.<\/line><\/p>\n

“We are angry! You don\u2019t care about our anger? Well, we are angry, and we\u2019re on your team — and what we want is somebody who is gonna represent us,” and right now Newt is not getting these votes because there\u2019s a wild, uncontrollable desire for Newt Gingrich to be president. It\u2019s the message that he\u2019s sending. He is speaking for millions of Republicans here. They see the way Newt\u2019s doing things as a solution, and as a strategy for victory over Barack Obama. Newt\u2019s a messenger. There\u2019s nobody else on that dais at a Republican debate that does it this way. The closest anybody gets to it is Santorum.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, back on November 10th<\/a>, on this program, I said, “You always think Republicans are all on the same side, same objectives. No way. No way. They want to win certain things. Some of our guys, I\u2019m telling you, do not think Obama\u2019s beatable. Now, I know it makes no sense. They live in Washington. It makes sense if you live in Washington. It makes sense if all your friends are the liberal media. It makes sense if that\u2019s your life, that Obama can\u2019t lose. Obama\u2019s God! If you live in Washington, if that\u2019s your life, it makes total sense. If you don\u2019t think that any of these conservatives can beat him, then you\u2019re gonna go pick the guy who can help your candidates for the Senate and the House win so that you can chalk up some victories for your business.<\/p>\n

“You are assuming that everybody\u2019s on the same team here. I have observed that with the death of Ronald Reagan and with the death of William Buckley, it\u2019s wide open. There\u2019s no discipline on the team. There is nobody that sets the agenda. Everybody is trying to be the smartest kid in the room or the power broker or what have you. It\u2019s patently obvious.” This was November 10th. In fact, this is how the monologue started. I said, “The official program observer has a question. What\u2019s the question?” and the question was, “Both parties have had trifectas and both have lost. You mean consultants, why do they try go be more moderate or candidates in general? … I think they really believe that the twenty percent is where every election\u2019s won.<\/p>\n

“And I think they believe that they are moderates, that they\u2019re not wacko conservatives or wacko leftists, and that most people are like them. Snerdley is so disturbed of my analysis of a half hour ago, of why the Republican establishment is ripping into all of our conservative candidates,” and Snerdley was disturbed by it, and this is what he was disturbed by. I said, “Folks, now on to the Republican Party. There\u2019s a shock poll. South Carolina primary: Herman Cain 26, Romney 25.” This is November 10th, now, folks, I want you to remember what happened. Herman Cain was up in November in South Carolina, and then somebody found the women. “Herman Cain 26, Romney 25, Perry at 15. In Virginia, Cain and Romney are tied.”<\/p>\n

This is polling data last November 10th. Now, why is it a “shock” poll? Why is this a shock? Here we have an articulate, principled, no-establishment conservative, Herman Cain leading in a poll before a Republican primary. “What\u2019s the surprise?” I asked. “Now, these polls don\u2019t record the preferences of establishment Republicans. They reflect the thinking of individual Republicans leading their individual lives. Perry, Cain, Bachmann, you name it, the establishment is trying to get this wrapped up next week. They want to move the primaries up. They want this done and over. The Republican establishment is trying to take full advantage of this chaos to nail this down and end it. They want Romney to be the nominee, and that\u2019s it, and I don\u2019t care who the conservative is.<\/p>\n

“Just to make the point again: What they want is somebody they think will not lose the House and might help \u2019em win the Senate.” November 10th I told you this, and I have been saying it every day since — and even prior to November 10th, I alluded to this. When Rick Perry got in the race I told you how this was gonna upset the Republican establishment. I know who I\u2019m talking about, here, and I know what their objectives are; and their number one objective, folks, is not beating Obama. They\u2019re not convinced it can happen! They\u2019re political professionals and experts. “He\u2019s an incumbent; he\u2019s African-American. That means we can\u2019t criticize him.<\/p>\n

“That means he\u2019s gonna get the welfare state vote.” They think that they can\u2019t compete, and the only chance they\u2019ve got is with moderate independents — and you conservatives scare of the independents because you\u2019re racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe pro-lifers. They live in fear of you. So South Carolina sends a message. “Really? Well, fine, okay. Here you go, establishment,” and Newt Gingrich won every congressional district. He won the independents. He won the female vote. How did the media handle that? “Well, sure in the state where they love cockfights, what the hell do you expect?” That\u2019s the reaction! Who set that one up? Howard Fineman in a TV appearance last week, “Oh, well, it\u2019s South Carolina!”<\/p>\n

Gloria Borger on CNN after the debate Thursday night (shrill, high-pitched Gloria Borger voice), “Well, Newt may do okay here but when you get outside South Carolina — you know, where they have cockfights and so forth — I don\u2019t think, John, that women are particularly going to, you know — ha-hah! — care about Newt Gingrich.” That\u2019s the media line. So media says that, they insult South Carolina as being a bunch of people that like cockfights and NASCAR, and look what happened! And this is what would happen all over the country. The Republican base all over this country has been called a bunch of hick cockfight-lovers.<\/p>\n

Not just the people in South Carolina. They\u2019ve been called a bunch of hayseed, nobody, pro-lifer, drunks, whatever for 25 years, when they look at themselves as the backbone of the country. They\u2019re the ones playing by the rules. They\u2019re the ones trying to do everything as best they can, and they know they don\u2019t succeed, but they are not purposely throwing their lives away. They are not purposely trying to ruin the culture of this country. They see people who are get raised up, elevated, made heroes. They\u2019re sick of it! They simply want their country saved. So a guy comes along and makes \u2019em think he can articulate the message that can get this guy out of the White House and maybe some sanity back to the country. That\u2019s all that\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now we get to the other stuff that I promised you about. December 5th on this program.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I think they are more concerned, our consultants, with holding the House and winning the Senate. I think they believe, deep down in the depths of their soul, that Obama can\u2019t be beat. I think that they look at Mitt Romney as the single only hope we have of taking Senate, even if he loses the presidential race. They\u2019re looking at Romney not because he can beat Obama but because he can limit the damage in the Senate and House races, which is what they really want. I do believe that in some cases — and I\u2019m not prepared to name names right now. I do believe in some cases on our side they would rather Obama win than a full-throated conservative beat him, because they don\u2019t control the conservatives. They don\u2019t control the Tea Party. They don\u2019t control where that victorious conservative cad would coming from.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: That\u2019s the statement about the Republican establishment. That\u2019s December the 5th, and I first postulated this theory on November 10th of last year. Here we go. Saturday night, MSNBC\u2019s special coverage of the South Carolina primary. Rachel Maddow had as one of her guests Steve Schmidt, McCain\u2019s campaign manager. (big sigh) You know, I have a logical question — and I must tell you, I\u2019ve got nothing against Steve Schmidt. I don\u2019t know him. I\u2019ve never met him. I\u2019ve had a couple e-mail back-and-forths during the 2008 campaign, but I don\u2019t… (groans) This is so hard to say. What do people who ran LOSING campaigns have to offer? It\u2019s like, why would Romney openly put McCain on stage with him in New Hampshire, which he had in the tank anyway?<\/p>\n

He was the favorite son and was supposed to win New Hampshire. He\u2019s leading. Nothing could have stopped it. Why put the 2008 loser — and somebody that you know the Republican base does not like — front and center on stage with you endorsing you? Would somebody explain the thinking? I\u2019ve never understood it. Bob Shrum is a constant guest. He\u2019s never won a presidential race for any candidate that hired him, and he\u2019s up there as an expert. It would be like having somebody in last place in primetime tell you how to finish first. (interruption) McCain is a symbol to Romney? McCain is a symbol… (interruption) Well, okay. (interruption) All right. (interruption) You really think that?<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s true, then they\u2019re dumber than I thought. Snerdley just told me that the reason that they put McCain up there to endorse Romney is to basically jam it down our throats. You think that that was an insult, that Romney getting McCain up there to endorse him was the Republican establishment saying to us, “(raspberry) you!” That\u2019s…? (interruption) Okay. The theory is that you put McCain up there to endorse Romney because you\u2019re sending a message to the independents, “See, we\u2019re the reasonable ones. We\u2019re the ones who will bend over, grab the ankles, and work with you.” Well! If that\u2019s true, then I\u2019m even more right about why the base is doing what they\u2019re doing in these primaries. I\u2019m even more right than I knew if that\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I don\u2019t mean any of this to be insulting. I\u2019m asking just from a business standpoint: Why would you have a coach who has lost every Super Bowl he\u2019s been in as an analyst to tell you how to do it? At any rate, he\u2019s a nice guy, don\u2019t misunderstand, Steve Schmidt. I allowed myself to get off point. Rachel Maddow said to Steve Schmidt, “Put yourself in the Republican…” Oh well, here\u2019s the answer. Okay, okay. I shoulda read the question. He\u2019s from the establishment. That\u2019s why they wanted him. Okay. Okay, okay. “Put yourself in the Republican establishment\u2019s shoes, Steve. What\u2019s the panic button that you hit if you\u2019re really freaked out that Newt is gonna get this nomination now?”<\/p>\n

SCHMIDT: We\u2019re probably moving towards a declaration of war on Newt Gingrich by the Republican establishment. And if Newt Gingrich is able to win the Florida primary, you will see a panic and a meltdown of the Republican establishment that is beyond my ability to articulate in the English language. People will go crazy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s right. He\u2019s exactly right about that. It\u2019s already happening. He is already right. It is already happening. That was the point of my monologue in the first hour of the program. There already is that panic. They\u2019re already trying to get Mitch Daniels. “Calls Renew for Mitch Daniels to Enter Presidential Race — An online petition for the Indiana governor to ‘Run, Mitch, Run!\u2019 launched at 8 p.m. Saturday evening, shortly after former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was declared the winner of the South Carolina primary.<\/p>\n

“Over 1,000 people have since signed the petition to date.” A thousand people? That\u2019s big. A thousand people signed an online petition since eight o\u2019clock Saturday night. Big whoop. Okay. So who\u2019s the next one? Maddow said, “Okay, is there a component of that which is believe a firewall around Romney, protecting him? We saw the establishment trying to do that; Romney helping saying, ‘You can\u2019t talk any smack about Bain. Bain\u2019s what I want to run on. It has to be positive. Don\u2019t undercut that at all,\u2019 which to me was like flashing a red, neon arrow: ‘Here\u2019s my glass jaw. Please don\u2019t hit it.\u2019 Is there a way to protect Romney other than this wrong approach they\u2019ve taken on Bain?”<\/p>\n

SCHMIDT: Newt Gingrich has a 100% name ID, has a 60% national unfavorable number and it\u00c2\u2019s a number that\u00c2\u2019s so high that with the 100% name ID it\u00c2\u2019s just impossible to come back from. You\u00c2\u2019re not electable in a general election in a 2012 presidential election if your unfavorable numbers are that high. There are 33 House Republicans in districts that Barack Obama won. What is the impact in terms of Republicans being able to keep the House of Representatives in majority control if Newt Gingrich was the nominee of the party? What is the impact in the United State Senate races where Republicans have a great chance of taking majority control of the United States Senate. With Newt Gingrich as the nominee of the party, that is, perhaps, all up in the air. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: See? See? My point, it\u2019s all about the Senate and the House. Is there anything in here about beating Obama? Not much. Senate and the House, I told you back on November 10th. Gingrich can\u2019t win. He can\u2019t get the independents, he just did. He can\u2019t get the women, he just did. There\u2019s no way he can win. Romney, who\u2019s nine out of 25, there\u2019s our winner. Don\u2019t doubt us. Brit Hume, Saturday night, Fox\u2019s election coverage had this to say.<\/p>\n

HUME: Newt Gingrich, 27% favorable, 56% unfavorable. Believe me, Republicans in Congress will be terrified to run with this man for fear they will lose the House and the Senate. They will begin to do what they can to try to defeat him because they fear he can\u2019t win the election and moreover he may drag many of them down to defeat with him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom, folks. Newt can\u2019t win. They\u2019ll lose the House and the Senate. It\u2019s a blood bath, it\u2019s over. This is the worst that could possibly happen. It\u2019s a full-fledged panic. Didn\u2019t the establishment say they wanted Mitch Daniels back last summer because Romney wasn\u2019t exciting enough? They wanted Mitch Daniels, that\u2019s who they really wanted. They really wanted Mitch Daniels. But everybody knew he wasn\u2019t gonna run because his wife didn\u2019t want any part of it. We knew this last spring. Back on May 9th, 2011, on this show, I said this, quoting the Washington Post: “There\u2019s a blog published by Chris Cillizza. It\u2019s obvious both Republican Washington insiders as well as Democrat power brokers want the nominee to be Mitch Daniels.” <\/p>\n

What were Hillary\u2019s negative numbers in 2008? Weren\u2019t they pretty high? Did the Democrat elites try to take her out? Well, some did. Some did \u2019cause there was some Democrat elites that didn\u2019t like the Clintons, didn\u2019t want to be beholden to the Clintons. This intrigue goes on in both parties. Always has. Party establishments are what they are. But you can see, I\u2019m just playing sound bites here to confirm for you that I knew what I was talking about back in November. Mitt Romney is there to save the House and win the Senate. And Newt, absolute panic, because if they lose the House and don\u2019t control the Senate, they lose their chance to be in charge of the money. Here\u2019s another Republican consultant, Mike Murphy. This is on Meet the Press Sunday, David Gregory, the Obama acolyte said, “Do you think Romney should triangulate, go more to the middle even for the rest of the primaries? Why and how?”<\/p>\n

MURPHY: Well, after he\u2019s got it locked, the Newt message is Democrats win the House; we lose the Senate in a general election. It would be a train wreck. Romney can\u2019t be contaminated by that, either. It\u2019s a very tough course for him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. Murphy is a Republican consultant. He\u2019s one of the guys that goes out and tells candidates, “Elect me, I can tell you how to win the independents. That\u2019s my job. I\u2019m better at it than anybody else. I\u2019ll get you 20% of the moderates and the independents.” He was with McCain. He was also the guy who said, “All right, fine, you think Christine O\u2019Donnell, I\u2019ll sit here and sip my cocktail, go ahead, you think you can tell her how to win, you go ahead and do it, I\u2019ll sit here in Georgetown and sip my cocktail.” Romney should go more to the middle for the rest of the primaries. That\u2019s the advice. That\u2019s what they tried to do to get him the nomination.<\/p>\n

My point is they tried to get Romney to win as a moderate in the primaries, not as a conservative. That\u2019s where all was blown. Their whole theory and strategy, as many conservative in the primaries as possible, split the conservative vote, Romney wins by default, and that\u2019s all blown up. So here\u2019s Murphy, the Newt message is Democrats win the House back, we lose the Senate, it would be a train wreck. I\u2019m just playing these bites \u2019cause I warned you people, I told you back in November, that\u2019s what this was all about. I\u2019m just trying to get you to know who your party is, that\u2019s all. That\u2019s it, pure and simple.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: On Sunday, is it This Week with Christiane Amanpour, or is she gone yet? Stephanopoulos is back, University of Chicago, then Good Morning America, and then back to the Clinton campaign, wherever that needs work done. Stephanopoulos says to George Will, “They are banking on Florida being the backstop, big state money, work for Romney, stop Newt, 200,000 people already voted. That could be tough for Newt to overcome. He\u2019s been working the absentees,” Romney is. “It\u2019s a closed primary. I think the Romney campaign had been counting on Jeb Bush giving them an endorsement. He said last night he\u2019s going to stay neutral.”<\/p>\n

WILL: Here\u2019s a small sliver of a silver lining for Mitt Romney. All across the country this morning people are waking up who are running for office as Republicans, from dogcatcher to Senate, and they\u2019re saying, “Good God, Newt Gingrich might be at the top of this ticket.”<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, man, it\u2019s true. All over America there\u2019s abject fear in every Republican precinct that Newt Gingrich may be the nominee. Stop and think, how could Newt be the nominee if there is such fear on the Republican side? How do those two go together? No, I know, the Republican establishment is one thing. I guess what I\u2019m trying to illustrate here is the Republican establishment is quite a ways away from the voters. Alex Castellanos, a Republican consultant, was on CNN Saturday night. Anderson Cooper said, “How much does Newt\u2019s margin of victory matter here?”<\/p>\n

CASTELLANOS: If Newt wins this by double digits then I think it\u2019s a serious blow, and Romney, there are gonna be phone calls going out to Jeb Bush and Bobby Jindal tonight, wondering if anybody else wants to buy a ticket on the train to the GOP nomination here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and that, of course, leaves out Mitch Daniels. Let\u2019s listen to Scarborough Sunday morning on Meet the Press about Newt.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Newt\u2019s not a conservative. He uses this resentment, the politics of grievance, to actually hide a record that you can really identify very quickly on Google. You know, the remarkable thing, and this is why Republicans are panicked in Washington, DC, for good reason. Yeah, Mitt Romney supported an individual mandate. Newt Gingrich supported an individual mandate. Newt Gingrich supported cap and trade at one point. So did Mitt Romney. It is a mess out there and I think you\u2019re gonna hear more people like Bill Kristol, Erick Erickson talking about a brokered convention. If Newt Gingrich wins Florida, everything\u2019s up for grabs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, if Newt wins Florida, boy, it\u2019s all over, everything\u2019s up for grabs, brokered convention. Except there aren\u2019t any brokers other than the delegates who are pledged on the first vote. But, as you know, the party can make any change it wants any time no matter what.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, one more Scarborough sound bite, and then we go to your phone calls. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if the Republican elite were unhappy with Newt because he\u2019s not conservative enough? That\u2019s not why they\u2019re unhappy with him. Here\u2019s Scarborough. This is his explanation about what\u2019s going on out there in terms of the panic.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: The party base is revolting, but they\u2019re revolting against the Washington Republican establishment anointing Mitt Romney. Now, Mitt Romney could attack Newt for not being a conservative \u2019cause Newt is not a conservative. Google it. We ran him out of Congress in 1998 \u2019cause he sold us out on taxes, he sold us out on spending. He went to the floor and he sided with Democrats on his last speech, calling us the perfectionist caucus. He\u2019d call us jihadists. He\u2019s not a conservative. He\u2019s an opportunist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Joe Scarborough — and he was part of the freshman class of 1994 — there was a lot of anger at Newt. Newt\u2019s ego got the best of him, got hold of him. I remember Newt in May of 1995, he\u2019d been Speaker five months, predicting he was gonna be president. May of 1995. Oh, yeah, I\u2019m gonna be president. He was thinking about it then. Anyway, so we set it all up now. I wanted to take the occasion to explain it all to you. And this stuff is all gonna shake out, folks. It\u2019s all okay out there. I know you\u2019re thinking, “My God, Rush, everybody on our side is flawed. Romney is not a conservative. Newt may not be, but Newt\u2019s a wacko, this or that. Santorum can\u2019t seem to… oh, God, Rush, what\u2019s gonna happen?” Don\u2019t forget who we\u2019re running against. We are not running against The Messiah. We are not running against God, just somebody who thinks he is. Don\u2019t panic, folks. This is the system, it\u2019s how it all works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
