RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, let\u2019s turn back the hands of time. Earlier this year you will recall during the continuing resolution debate, the funding of the budget, the raising of the debt limit, I was urging from behind the Golden EIB Microphone, John Boehner, the Republican leadership, to force Obama to cave, that we were the ones who held the position of strength coming off the 2010 midterm elections, which was a landslide shellacking. The Democrats lost 63 seats in the House. Well, it\u2019s a net number that the Republicans have now in the leadership, in their lead. All the way down the ballot, state and local issues, the Democrats just took a bath. And I said winners don\u2019t compromise with losers. Losers compromise with winners. <\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t any compromise. There\u2019s nothing of the socialist agenda that I want to have as part of mine. We\u2019re not competing in elections here to win them and then compromise with the people who lost them. You can\u2019t compromise. (interruption) How are we gonna attract the independents? Who is it that gave us landslide victories in the 2010 midterm elections? It was independents. Independents abandoned the Democrat Party, and not because of anything the Republicans were doing to attract them, because the Republicans were scared of their own shadows. The Republicans weren\u2019t saying anything. That was a flight from socialism. That was a mad dash away from liberalism and socialism, and the only place that you can go in this country where you don\u2019t want socialism is to the Republican Party. Pure and simple. <\/p>\n
Now, the Republicans live and believe this myth that if they don\u2019t compromise, and if they are too critical of the Democrats, that these independents are gonna run right back to the Democrat Party, and it\u2019s a lie and it\u2019s a myth that has been perpetuated, created by the media and the left precisely to stifle Republican comments, conservative behavior, policy, and everything else. It is designed to make us live in fear of being who we are. It\u2019s perpetuated by Republican political consultants who live and work with that 20% of the electorate that\u2019s said to be the undecided every election, the independents, the moderates. That\u2019s where they make their money, by telling candidates, “I know how to get those voters for you, and here\u2019s what you can\u2019t do. You can\u2019t run out there, don\u2019t say Obama\u2019s middle name, don\u2019t call him Barack Hussein. You do that and you\u2019re gonna send \u2019em running right back to \u2019em.” All that kind of malarkey and they end up muzzling Republican and conservative candidates. <\/p>\n
And then they say, “You better talk about compromise. You better talk about bipartisanship. The American people want these two parties to get along.” Really? Well, how does the math on that work? One party is abject no doubt socialist. The other party is conservative, constitutional conservative, small government, lower taxes, entrepreneurs, all that stuff, where is the middle ground there? All these wizards, the independents, where do they want the compromise? Where do they want the bipartisanship to be? As far as I\u2019m concerned they\u2019ve already told us with their votes. <\/p>\n
They don\u2019t want any part of where Obama is. They voted out of guilt. They voted to be part of history and some of them probably voted thinking if Obama won there wouldn\u2019t be as much shouting and yelling. If they would have listened to me they would have heard me say racism is gonna get worse if this guy wins because virtually every policy disagreement with him is gonna be chalked up to racism. Lo and behold, I, as I usually am, have been borne out right. There\u2019s nothing unifying about this guy. There\u2019s nothing unifying about socialism. Socialism has to be imposed on people. Freedom doesn\u2019t. Socialism, Marxism, liberalism, has to be imposed on people against their will, which is exactly what this party has been doing. <\/p>\n
The Democrat Party have been governing against the will of the people for years. Obama has just been doing it on steroids. These independents and others figured it out, they saw it. Their home values cut in half if they still have one. Jobs, don\u2019t have any. And what are they told? Sign up for more unemployment compensation. That\u2019ll stimulate the economy, Pelosi said. That\u2019s not what they want. Some people do it, but not the people we\u2019re talking about. You can\u2019t compromise with people who want to turn this country into a socialist state. Actually, you can. See, the problem is it\u2019s way too easy. But you shouldn\u2019t. Not if you want to keep America America. <\/p>\n
As I said yesterday, the single word that has been used to create the most damage in this country is compassion. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s easy to compromise with these people, because everybody on our side seems to want to be considered compassionate, and compassion is defined by the left, the bigger government is and the more people it\u2019s taking care of, the more compassionate you are, the bigger heart you have. Well, I\u2019ve always preferred Jack Kemp\u2019s definition of compassion. We consider compassion to be the result of how many people no longer need government assistance. <\/p>\n

People are sending me notes, “Well, Rush, look, you\u2019re being a little bit too hard here. Christie is like Rudy. They talk moderate on issues, but when they get elected they crush Democrats.” Yeeeeeah. (drumming the desk) Let me ask you a question, folks. I want you to think about this. In modern electoral history, when do you remember people first — political people: consultants, candidates, media — even talking about independents? When did the group known as “independents” become a primary matter of import, major subject matter? Where were you and what were you doing when you first heard of independents? Maybe you won\u2019t remember, but see if you can. But you look at Europe, everything that real genuine intelligent conservatives have been warning about for 60 years is happening right before our eyes in Europe, and we\u2019re on the same road.<\/p>\n
We have people in the Democrat Party who think Europe is utopia, \u2019cause the smart people are in charge and run everything. The elites are in charge of everything. They have 14% unemployment but that\u2019s okay, the state takes care of them. They can\u2019t defend themselves but that\u2019s okay because they don\u2019t believe in war, and if we\u2019re attacked we\u2019ll just call the United States — and after they defend us, we\u2019ll complain and whine and moan about their militarism, their imperialism, but we\u2019ll take it. Obama\u2019s trying to turn us into Europe as fast as he can, on steroids. I don\u2019t want to become Greece. I don\u2019t want to become Spain. I don\u2019t want to become the UK. That\u2019s where we\u2019re headed, and it\u2019s utterly predictable. So somebody tell me: Where do you want to compromise with Harry Reid? Where do you want to compromise with Nancy Pelosi? Where do you want to compromise with Barack Obama? Where do you want to compromise with Dick Durbin or John Kerry or Chuck Schumer? And then tell me why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
