They\u2019re counting on everybody thinking the election being the peak. &#8216;All right, victory, we won, we showed \u2019em,\u2019 but now nothing\u2019s gonna happen. The left, the Democrats, they\u2019re sending the same leadership team back. They want Pelosi back, although some Democrats who lost have leaked a letter that they wrote to Pelosi telling her to go away to Fox News. The letter has been published. I have a copy of it here. I\u2019m saying, &#8216;Who leaked this?\u2019 But there are long knives out for Pelosi because Pelosi is responsible for a lot of these people losing their seats, losing their careers, losing their jobs. They wanted to serve in Congress. They wanted to be the Blue Dogs and others, not just exclusively Blue Dogs. So they\u2019re lining up the same leadership team and they\u2019re gonna try the same tactics. They don\u2019t know anything else. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna pretend the election never happened, folks. They are going to act like they still run the show, and the media in Washington is going to treat them that way. I want to prepare you for this. It happened in 1994, and I told the freshman class then, I said, &#8216;Do not think that the Beltway media is going to be happy you\u2019re here. Do not expect them to treat you as winners.\u2019 What\u2019s gonna happen is, they\u2019re gonna go to Steny Hoyer, that time it was Tom Foley, they\u2019re gonna go to the Democrats of the day, their friends, &#8216;These new kooks that showed up, these Tea Party wackos, the majority in the House,\u2019 and the narrative every day is gonna be, &#8216;What a bunch of kooks are running the Congress.\u2019 The media is going to act like it\u2019s just an aberration, temporary thing, people are gonna have temper tantrums. That\u2019s all gonna be fixed soon because regardless who wins the election, when you get down to brass tacks, the liberals still run the town. This is the risk that\u2019s always present. When the Democrats lose power, the Republicans gain it. In town the power doesn\u2019t shift. The Republicans don\u2019t start running the town. They\u2019re not in charge of the social, and the social\u2019s big, don\u2019t ever think it isn\u2019t. So the media is gonna run around and they\u2019re just gonna beat everybody down. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just like this global warming bunch. &#8216;Yeah, it\u2019s a hoax, but we\u2019re just gonna keep talking about it. We\u2019re gonna wear you out. We\u2019re gonna make you tired of having to defend it all the time.\u2019 And the same leadership team going back, Pelosi, if it happens, and Hoyer, and Clyburn, the point is going to be to pretend it didn\u2019t happen, that the only thing that\u2019s changing is the outcome of votes on various pieces of legislation. They\u2019re really counting on the fact that the election victory, Election Day itself, election night when the returns came in was the peak and everybody\u2019s gonna think, &#8216;Okay, we can relax, we got it done,\u2019 and I think they\u2019re miscalculating. They\u2019re miscalculating big time. Here\u2019s why I think this, and this is not good news, folks. And I wish I did not have to tell you this. I wish I didn\u2019t have to report this to you. We just told you about the global warming guys, they\u2019re gonna come back, they\u2019re gonna start attacking conservatives in Congress, newly elected who don\u2019t sign on to the theory that man\u2019s destroying the planet, who don\u2019t believe that we need carbon taxes. Those people who don\u2019t believe that we\u2019re destroying the planet are gonna be targeted. <\/p>\n<p>Representative Fred Upton, Republican, Michigan, wants to be the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Well, it\u2019s not a good thing because Fred Upton, Republican, Michigan, was a cosponsor with Jane Harman, Democrat, California, in 2007 to coauthor the legislation that effectively banned indoor incandescent lightbulbs in the United States. Fred Upton wants to chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and this is a guy who believes in man-made global warming, and he is a Republican. He and Harman &#8216;teamed up again to offer new legislation that would extend the ban on incandescent lightbulbs to outdoor lighting.\u2019 So now these compact fluorescents, these spaghetti lightbulbs, what is the year, is it 2012 that the ban goes into effect? I know they started reducing supplies. A lot of people are starting to hoard incandescent lightbulbs. This is not gonna happen. I\u2019m not gonna put these little curlicue things in my house. I\u2019m not going to do it. And a lot of people aren\u2019t, either. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8216;In 2007, Jane Harman and Fred Upton introduced bipartisan legislation &#8211;&#8216; that\u2019s bipartisan, coauthored. Actually the legislation was written by a liberal Democrat, Jane Harman. That\u2019s all you need to know. &#8216;It became law as part of the Energy Independence and Security Act &#8212; that bans the famously inefficient&#8230;\u2019 what do you mean famously inefficient? &#8216;&#8230;100-watt incandescent light bulb by 2012, phases out remaining inefficient light bulbs by 2014, and requires that light bulbs be at least three times as efficient as today\u2019s 100-watt incandescent bulb by 2020. Last year, after George Will wrote a column criticizing Upton\u2019s and Harman\u2019s proposal to extend the incandescent-bulb ban to outdoor lighting, the two House members sent a letter to the Washington Post complaining about the column and defending their legislative campaign against the incandescent bulb.\u2019<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Now, this would be a tone deaf disaster if the Republican leadership lets Fred Upton ascend to the chairmanship of the House energy committee. This is exactly the kind of nannyism, statism, what have you, that was voted against and was defeated last week. No Republican complicit in nannyism, statism, can be rewarded this way. But seniority may rule the day.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"461\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Last night on Hardball Chris Matthews was talking to the Huffing and Puffington Post\u2019s senior editor Howard Fineman, no longer at Newsweek. You know, it\u2019s strange. I make the cover of Newsweek and Fineman\u2019s gone. Chris Matthews says, &#8216;Let\u2019s take a look at Lindsey Graham because he comes off as sort of a thoughtful person in this fight. But maybe he\u2019s just a favorite of ours. But here he is. If you think what happened in Delaware is a win for the Republican Party then we don\u2019t have a snowball\u2019s chance to win the White House.\u2019 That\u2019s Lindsey Graham talking about Christine O\u2019Donnell. &#8216;If you think Delaware was a wake-up call for Republicans, then we have a shot at doing well for a long time.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>FINEMAN: I can\u2019t tell you how much the Republican Senate establishment hates Jim DeMint.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: Right.<\/p>\n<p>FINEMAN: They hate him, and one reason they hate him is he\u2019s complaining about the fact that they were trashing Christine O\u2019Donnell, where he, Jim DeMint, went around the country for the previous year trashing all of the Republican candidates that he thought were not sufficiently Tea Partiesque.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And that\u2019s true. Howard Fineman\u2019s right. Jim DeMint, the long knives have been out for him in the Senate for a long, long time. They don\u2019t like DeMint. They want earmarks. Remember, earmarks, we gotta get rid of them because they\u2019re bribes. They also are excess spending. There\u2019s nothing redeemable about them. Mort Kondracke last night on the Fox News Channel Special Report, the all-star panel discussing conservatism in the Republican Party, what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>KONDRACKE: It\u2019s not just the Tea Party. Look, there is a mini-civil war going on, at least in the Senate between the establishment and the DeMint forces. Jim DeMint is a guy who runs candidates against &#8212; in primaries against sitting senators, and he is &#8212; you know, he wants &#8212; he said, I\u2019d rather have 30 people like me than 51 majority in the Senate, and the establishment guys are all looking at themselves and looking to see if they have targets on their back or their front or something like that. Anybody who has ever been seen cooperating with a Democrat about anything has got a target on. You know, that\u2019s not the way you grow a party.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, it is the way you grow a party, Mort. It most definitely is the way you grow one and reform one. Krauthammer responded to this.<\/p>\n<p>KRAUTHAMMER: On the larger issue of the Tea Party, it\u2019s not a party, it\u2019s a tendency, it\u2019s a tendency to lower government, less intrusion, less regulation, lower taxes, less debt, et cetera, and that\u2019s the general principle that Republicans share. The idea that the media are making of a civil war I think is highly exaggerated. I think you will have Republicans who want to accomplish stuff, unlike DeMint, and actually adhere to principle.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And he\u2019s right, except the DeMint stuff. The civil war is not in the Republican &#8212; well, it\u2019s not a civil war. There is a battle. There is a conservative ascendancy, and the ruling class, the establishment Republicans don\u2019t like the Tea Party types, there\u2019s no question. But all of this misses what\u2019s going on in the Democrat Party, which was the focus of yesterday\u2019s program. They are in deep, deep doo-doo. <\/p>\n<p>A question from the official program observer. Yes, Mr. Snerdley? What is it? I don\u2019t personalize this. He wants to know if they don\u2019t like DeMint, what do they think about me? I\u2019m under no illusion that they like me. I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m not out to be liked. I\u2019m just pointing out here, Fred Upton wants the chairmanship of this energy committee in the House and be and that would be a step backwards, and some of the Republicans in the Senate are going after DeMint. I\u2019m just telling you that the Democrats are counting on this kind of stuff. The Democrats are counting on a lack of energy, they\u2019re counting on people thinking that the election was the peak, was the high point. They\u2019re just gonna beat us down, they\u2019re gonna keep coming with their agenda, and they hope to wear us out. Just warning you. Pure and simple. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.0349.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Here is that letter that the defeated Democrats have sent to Nancy Pelosi. I\u2019m not gonna read the whole thing, just some highlights. &#8216;Many of us want the chance to run again and reclaim the seats that we lost on Tuesday. With you as the leader of House Democrats, the hangover of 2010 stands no chance of subsiding. Many of us have run our last race but remain committed to our party; we want to help recruit successful candidates to run in our stead. Unfortunately, we fear that Republicans will further demonize you, and in so doing they will scare potential candidates out. The prospect of having to run against their own party leadership in addition to their Republican opponent is simply too daunting. &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You have been an historic figure in our great nation, and for that we are all proud, as should you be. Nonetheless, we each experienced how Republican demonization of you and your leadership contributed to our defeat. It is impossible not to judge the results of November 2nd as anything but a profound loss. We want to recover. Recovery of our majority in the House necessitates new leadership at the top of our party.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t include you! &#8216;[O]ne mark of a strong leader is the ability to discern when it is time to pass the baton. As defeated members, whose party needs to rebuild, we are counting on you to show the strength of your leadership in this dark hour. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We ask that you step aside as leader of our party in the House. With utmost respect, we are&#8230;\u2019 That\u2019s a draft copy of a letter that was sent to Pelosi, and whoever wrote it leaked it to Fox News. The long knives are out. You can talk about &#8216;civil waaaaar\u2019 in the Republican Party all you want. What\u2019s going on in the Republican Party is good for the party and it\u2019s good for the country. What\u2019s going on in the Democrat Party is also good for the country in the sense that they\u2019re being defeated big time. But Pelosi has her defenders. They want her back, because that is a hard, hard leftist institution &#8212; and the Democrat Party has gone so far left that she looks good to them still.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I\u2019m checking the e-mail during the break at the bottom of the hour, and some people want to know why I\u2019m spending so much time talking about the Democrats and Pelosi and all that. Folks, it\u2019s very simple why. In order to be prepared for the future, you have to know how they\u2019re going to act. I know how they\u2019re gonna act, I know what they\u2019re going to do, and their effort is all going to be aimed at one thing, and that is dispiriting you. They want you feeling as negative about this victory as soon as they can. They want you thinking it was all for naught as soon as they can make you think that. And why? <\/p>\n<p>Because in the past, we\u2019ve done it! <\/p>\n<p>In the past, we have treated victory as the end of things. We have jobs. We go back to work. Now, I think they\u2019re misreading the Tea Party this year. I don\u2019t think they have any idea who the Tea Party is, but it isn\u2019t gonna matter. They still are going to try the same tactics, and that is to beat you down. You must prepare yourself. In fact, I do not want to get&#8230; Snerdley, make a note. I do not want to get one phone call &#8212; \u2019cause I\u2019m warning you now, I don\u2019t want to get one phone call &#8212; from now to the future asking me, &#8216;Rush, how come the media is treating the Democrats like they won?\u2019 Because the media and the Democrats are one and the same, and they still do run Washington. This is important to understand. They don\u2019t run the House of Representatives, but they run the town. <\/p>\n<p>Now, the Democrat lobbyists are gonna have to do business with Republicans, but corrupting them is the objective. Getting people like Fred Upton on Energy is the objective. Making sure that somebody like Jim DeMint gets marginalized in the Senate is the objective. Taking the wind out of your sails as soon as possible is their objective, and that\u2019s one of the reasons why so many people are pushing for an identical leadership in the House and Senate as though nothing has changed. What you have to keep in mind is, it is a major blow to them what has happened. Here the American Spectator blog. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;David Paul Kuhn has an interesting interview with Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) about his party\u2019s shellacking in the midterms. Webb says his party has turned its back on Reagan Democrats like himself (Webb was secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan),\u2019 and they\u2019re making a move on Governor Manchin in West Virginia. They\u2019re holding out a carrot to him to maybe change parties in the Senate. So there might be some Democrats like Webb, and he\u2019s sending out feelers here that Democrats are leaving him, letting him down and so forth. The real problem that exists politically is the Democrats, but they\u2019re gonna do their best to create the illusion that it is business as usual &#8212; and there\u2019s another primary reason for that. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve gotta keep their donor base up! <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about money. They\u2019re not gonna run around and act panicked. They are not gonna give you the satisfaction of even acknowledging for one moment that they lost anything. That\u2019s why you\u2019re hearing all this talk about &#8216;working together, compromise, bipartisanship! The American people want the Republicans to work with us. That\u2019s what the election was all about, not the American people want us to go to hell, not the American people want us to be silenced.\u2019 I\u2019ve seen it, I\u2019ve watched it happen, and I\u2019ve seen it work. Their whole objective is to make it appear that they have not lost power, and they\u2019re gonna pull that off. You\u2019re gonna be watching cable news, you\u2019re gonna watch all the friendly yuk-yuks.<\/p>\n<p>All these loser Democrats are gonna be on and they\u2019re gonna be acting like it\u2019s just the same as it was yesterday, and they\u2019ll be talking about the Republicans as though they are a minority and a bunch of whack job losers. &#8216;And can you believe what they proposed today? (laughing) They really want to cut taxes,\u2019 and they\u2019ll talk about how stupid this is. Because what they realize, what they realize is that there are a number of people on our side who define &#8216;victory\u2019 as how many of their minds we change, and we don\u2019t. The minds we change, we\u2019ll never see that. The minds we change are their rank-and-file voters, people not in elective office. <\/p>\n<p>So they know you gonna be depressed; they know that you can lose spirit. What does that mean? That means you will stop pressuring Republicans to act as they promised during the campaign. It\u2019s all part of the strategy. My point is they\u2019re relentless, they never go away, they never think of themselves as having been beaten. They don\u2019t look at this as rejection. They look at this as&#8230;not so much a challenge. They just get ticked off. They hate you even more. They want you to pay for this. The more they think you\u2019re getting depressed or unhappy with the speed of change, lack of it or what have you, then the happier they are gonna be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Remember talking with President Bush just an hour ago, he admitted 2006, middle of the war in Iraq, midterm elections, &#8216;people were tired of me.\u2019 I said, &#8216;How does that feel?\u2019 I mean you\u2019re president of the United States and you think people are tired of you.
