RUSH: People are asking today, ‘What\u2019s the answer?\u2019 <\/p>\n

The answer is to elect conservatives who are just as committed to taking back the nation as the left is in destroying it. Social Security is broken and collapsing. They\u2019ve lied about it, they\u2019ve pillaged it, yet they pat themselves on the back! Same as Medicare and Medicaid. These people get to own the benefits but not the destruction. That has to end. Same with education. These people are allowed to own all of the good vibes, all of the love for all these benefits, but they somehow always exempt themselves from the failure and from the destruction, and that must stop. Also, we must cease with this notion that there\u2019s anything other than a liberal Democrat. There are no Blue Dogs. There are no moderate Democrats. If the word begins with a D, it doesn\u2019t need a modifier today. They are all liberal Democrats. Some are just further left than the others but there\u2019s not a\u2019one of them that is in the center, not a\u2019one. For all practical purposes, Pelosi will get them to vote however she wants. They will continue to elect her Speaker, and all this talk about bipartisanship? There was bipartisanship, by the way, in this bill yesterday. You know where it was? In the disagreement. There were 30-some-odd Democrats who voted against it along with all the other Republicans. The bipartisanship in this, if you care about it — and, frankly, I don\u2019t, because it\u2019s a losing proposition for us, but the bipartisanship — existed on the side opposing this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: To the phones, to Shirley in Cincinnati. You\u2019re up first today. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it\u2019s a privilege to be here. Thanks to everything you do for our country, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to mention that I was watching the programs yesterday, all the talk-TV stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And there was… I believe it was a congressman who was a Democrat, and they asked him a question, wasn\u2019t he concerned that if this passed, even though the people obviously didn\u2019t want it, wasn\u2019t he afraid of losing in November? And his answer was, ‘Well, they can\u2019t possibly maintain their momentum for those six months. As we know, as with everything else, they\u2019ll just get used to it and then it won\u2019t be such a big deal.\u2019 I was appalled.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what they\u2019re hoping, and that\u2019s what the media —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know and I certainly hope that everybody does not give up that momentum, that everybody maintains the outrage against what they did last night.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s going to be tough. This guy had a point about one thing, and that is it is tough to maintain emotional intensity such as it has been for six straight months. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s possible, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s right that people are going to forget this and just say, ‘Okay, well, it\u2019s here,\u2019 and be comfortable with it. Especially the administration has said that they have to go out now and sell this to people. They\u2019re going to fan out — Obama and others going to fan out — and start explaining to people what this really is. They\u2019re going to keep the subject alive, as will a tremendous number of people keep the subject alive. Don\u2019t worry about November. There are enough people who realize what\u2019s happened here and enough people who realize what it\u2019s going to take to restore this country\u2019s greatness. They\u2019re not going to get comfortable with America being destroyed. It won\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
