RUSH: The Democrats pretty much caved in on their demand for a withdrawal date from Iraq. The Democrats have retreated from retreat. They remind me of the French. They have surrendered from surrender. This is amazing to watch. I predicted to you yesterday that this would cause the fur to fly out there on the Democrat kook fringe websites. Wait \u2019til you hear perhaps the greatest illustration of my knowledge. I know these people, folks. I know them like every square inch of my glorious naked body, not just the back of my hand. Wait \u2019til you hear what happened on the Democrat Underground. Here\u2019s the post. Just read the post, Democrat Underground, explaining what happened here about why the Democrats caved and why they retreated from retreat. <\/p>\n

‘We all know that Republicans have the ability and the technology and the infrastructure to have easily stolen the elections in \u201906 as they had the previous elections. That \u201906 elections went too smooth for us. We skated in. Today, we\u2019re seeing the Republican machinations bear fruit. This is what they wanted to happen. Give the Democrats control, lose on purpose, don\u2019t steal this election, give the Democrats control, then just pull their unitary executive BS, stonewalling and lying as stall tactics.\u2019 What this guy is saying is that the Republicans threw the election in \u201906, didn\u2019t steal it, let the Democrats win because Bush and Rove knew that the Democrats would cave on pulling troops out of Iraq, and to make the Democrats look bad. It says, ‘Don\u2019t believe me? These are serious people. Don\u2019t believe me? It\u2019s not hard to find posts on the freeper board saying that we Democrats own this war now because we\u2019re the ones who can stop it and we won\u2019t. Nancy and Harry have played directly into Bush-Rove\u2019s hands, or they\u2019ve been complicit in the whole thing all along. Either way, by failing to take any action to rein in the out of control dictator Bush, we really, really do own this war, just as Bush Company planned.\u2019 There are a lot of support posts telling this guy how brilliant he is for coming up with this novel and unique theory to explain why the Republicans threw the elections in \u201906. (Laughing.) Ah, you gotta love these people. It is embarrassing that we lost an election to this clown and his bunch, but he thinks we purposely didn\u2019t steal it just to make the Democrats look bad. <\/p>\n

By the way, MoveOn.org, just a few weeks ago, thinks they own the House majority. They sent an open letter to Nancy Pelosi and the gang, had this thread in it. ‘If Democrats appear to capitulate to Bush — which they\u2019ve now done — passing a bill without measures to end the war, the unity that Democrats have enjoyed and Democrat leadership has so expertly built will immediately disappear.\u2019 So Move On, some weeks ago, threatened to totally walk away if the Democrats let them down. The Democrats have let them down. If you go to some of these places and read, it will be some of the funniest stuff that you\u2019ve exposed yourself to in a long time. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: John in Yuma, Arizona. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Great to talk to you again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I need to disagree with you a little bit about this Iraq war.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is always a risk —<\/p>\n

CALLER: (Laughing.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: — when callers try to disagree with me, but I appreciate the confidence that you bring to this, so go ahead.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This Iraq war funding bill, I don\u2019t believe that the Democrats caved on the timetables for withdrawal at all. I believe that was the plan all along, and the only reason they really did put that in there in the first place was to pander to their base. They knew it would never go through, and it would take the emphasis off of the fact that they put a minimum wage hike in the bill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can understand your thinking on this, that the Democrats knew all along that they never had a chance of withdrawing the troops out of there, and this was just a sneaky backdoor way to get the minimum wage increase in.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s a nice try.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (Laughing.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s a nice try. But this was not about getting a minimum wage bill signed by President Bush. I just have to tell you. They won the election, they came out, they think they\u2019ve got this big mandate to get us out, they tried and tried and tried and they couldn\u2019t get it done, and in the process — and this is something that we all should learn — if you\u2019re going to go out and you\u2019re going to kill the king — and that\u2019s what they were trying to do here, was kill Bush. They wanted Bush to essentially surrender and give defeat to the country so that he would be blamed for it. If you set out to kill the king like this, you better succeed because they got their supporters all revved up. Their supporters believed that they intended to get the troops out. That\u2019s the only thing their supporters cared about. Minimum wage, ah, it\u2019s hunky-dory, that\u2019s not a big deal to their supporters. It\u2019s down the priority list. Getting the troops out, ending the war, that\u2019s what their fringe kook base is all about, and they have been hung out to dry here. If you go read what these people are writing, it\u2019s hilarious. They are fit to be tied. They think their party\u2019s been snookered again by Rove. They think, in large numbers, that Bush and Rove purposely threw the elections of 2006 by not stealing them. (Laughing.) We Republicans decided we weren\u2019t going to steal the election — (Laughing.) To think they believe it! They believe it. I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019re fit to be tied out there, and they\u2019re not going to be mollified by minimum wage bill. Republicans support that anyway. That was going to happen somewhere down the line. That\u2019s not a big achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
