\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Okay, everybody knows — well, you may not know. I guess I shouldn\u2019t assume that. The Republicans picked up a congressional seat in Florida yesterday that was supposedly automatic Democrat, and this was an election of rejection of Obamacare. There wasn\u2019t any “for” on the ballot. All there was was anti-Obamacare. I don\u2019t mean to be causing problems here, but there\u2019s a popular statement out there: “We can\u2019t just win on what we\u2019re against. We\u2019ve got to be for things.” You can, folks.<\/p>\n

Obamacare is so bad. Did you hear what Obama said the other day? He said (paraphrasing), “Look, if you can\u2019t afford Obamacare, cancel your cable or your cell phone to pay for it.” That\u2019s not gonna fly with the low-information crowd that thinks he\u2019s Santa Claus.<\/p>\n

Hi, folks. How are you. Great to have you? El Rushbo here at the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.<\/p>\n

David Jolly is the Republican\u2019s name. He wasn\u2019t supposed to win, but he did, big, and it was the media\u2019s concern everywhere. This race was touted as a harbinger of Obamacare, and now it\u2019s come in, and this is not even a big race. He\u2019s not even a big name guy, and the media knew that this was gonna be a litmus test, if you will, for the public\u2019s voting sentiments on Obamacare.<\/p>\n

So the Republican wins the seat that was supposed to go to the Democrat, and Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz, who, amazingly for us, is still the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, came out and said that this just proves that Obamacare is popular and the Republicans are weak. That is her spin.<\/line><\/p>\n

Florida Republican David Jolly won the special election on Tuesday to fill a 13th District House seat left vacant by the death of Representative Bill Young. He was a Republican, by the way, but everybody assumed because of demographics and all the other things and just these wild assumptions everybody makes in the popularity of Obama, that the Democrat was gonna win the seat. With nearly all the votes counted, Jolly had 48.5% and the Democrat, Alex Sink — female, by the way — had 46.7. The Libertarian in the race did not stop Jolly. Normally a third party candidate destroys the Republican by taking votes from him. Didn\u2019t happen. The third party, the Libertarian candidate, did not even hurt Jolly.<\/p>\n

The Republican candidate fell a million and a half dollars short of Sink in fundraising. That\u2019s big in a congressional race, and David Jolly was outspent in negative campaign ads from outside sources. Nine million total spent on negative ads against this guy, and he still won. And yet <\/line>Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz, despite all of this, proves how weak the GOP is. Here is her statement: “Republican special interest groups poured in millions to hold onto a Republican congressional district that they\u2019ve comfortably held for nearly 60 years. Tonight, Republicans fell short of their normal margin in this district because the agenda they are offering voters has a singular focus – that a majority of voters oppose – repealing the Affordable Care Act.”<\/line><\/p>\n

So what Wasserman Schultz is saying is that because Republicans didn\u2019t win by a greater margin, they actually lost. That\u2019s what she is saying. That\u2019s the thing, Obama won twice. Obama won this district twice, 2008, 2012. The estimable Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, saw this as a must-win for the Democrats. And it wasn\u2019t. But, folks, that\u2019s not the only good news out there. And there\u2019s more on this as the program unfolds.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, there was another element, by the way, in the campaign, the Jolly\/Alex Sink campaign. It\u2019s that Sink tried to overcome the automatic loser status she had because of Obamacare. She tried to tag Jolly as a “global warming denier” and a guy who wanted to destroy the planet, the typical Democrat rigmarole, and that didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m gonna tell you something about this election down at Pinellas County, this Republican sweep down there by David Jolly. You know what else is a lesson to be learned? We\u2019re gonna have to keep a sharp eye on this, folks, because the Democrats — all of these Senate Democrats up for reelection — have learned that there is an opportunity in running against Obamacare.<\/a> Politics is copycat, like much of life.<\/p>\n

If something works, a lot of people try their own version of it. So the anti-Obamacare vote triumphs in a district that the Democrats thought they were gonna win because Obama won it twice. He won it handily twice, never mind that a Republican held this specific seat. The conventional wisdom was, “Eh, Eh! Obamacare isn\u2019t anything? Nah, there is a lot of love for Obama.” There\u2019s not because there\u2019s a lot of anger over Obamacare.<\/p>\n

Well, these Senate Democrats up for reelection can see this, too, not just Republicans. The problem for the Senate Democrats is they all voted for it. So they would have to really go out and say, “We made a huge mistake.” I mean, if they\u2019re gonna run against Obamacare, they\u2019re gonna have to also disavow their vote. But I\u2019m just telling you, I\u2019m just warning you: They, too, are gonna take a lesson from this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, back to the Florida congressional race, the House race. AP even has it in its headline, “Florida House Race Could be Warning for Democrats.” David Jolly beat Alex Sink, a certified woman, by the way, certified woman, Alex Sink. He was outspent three to one. He was a first-time candidate. Bruising primary, by the way. He got beat up bad in the primary.<\/p>\n

There was no way this guy was gonna win. He was damaged, outspent, negative advertising campaign, typical Democrat tactic, make this guy sound inhuman. He had to run against a former gubernatorial candidate who had far greater name recognition, and he had to face a Libertarian candidate who siphoned off 5% of the vote. Normally when you got a third-party candidate in there, that\u2019s a guaranteed win for the Democrats.<\/p>\n

On top of that, and the reason that the Democrats thought this was a slam dunk for them, Obama won this district in 2008 and 2012, handily. The AP says that this could be a warning for the Democrats even though the race hinged on Obamacare. I\u2019ll tell you what happened in this race, it\u2019s exactly what happened — and this is really relevant, it\u2019s important.<\/p>\n

This race duplicated strategically the way the Republicans ran House races in 1994. They nationalized them. This was not about any local issue in the district. This was not about who is gonna be better at getting the old folks\u2019 home expanded. This is not about who\u2019s gonna get the schools rebuilt better. This is not about who is going to fix the potholes.<\/p>\n

This was about Obamacare. That\u2019s a big-time national issue, and it was huge in the defeat of the Democrat and the victory for the Republican. It was the primary factor in the election, and it was people voting against. They did everything they could, the Democrats did, to try to take Obamacare out of the race, but they couldn\u2019t because people are living it. Cancellations, increased premium costs, copays and deductibles, I mean, there\u2019s nothing about Obamacare that\u2019s positive. There\u2019s nothing about it that wants to make a majority of people vote for anybody who can be tied to it.<\/line><\/p>\n

The interesting thing, too, about this race — and this is a little piece here from Forbes. “Alex Sink Rides Global Warming Alarmism to Surprise Congressional Defeat.” The Democrats had this global warming talk-athon earlier this week, and they are doing that primarily to raise money, but they actually think they have a winning campaign issue. They don\u2019t yet realize that a majority of people, when everything is frozen over two and three times and the Democrats continue to talk about global warming and climate change, they just don\u2019t get it. They\u2019ve got so much invested in this. It\u2019s like Obamacare, those two issues give the Democrats total control over everything.<\/p>\n

Global warming — I\u2019ve got this later in the program — global warming has now found its way onto nutritional labels of food. The Democrats, under the guidance of Moochelle Obama are going to now incorporate global warming facts, characteristics, what have you, in warning labels and nutritional labels on food. And the reason for this is total control over every aspect of people\u2019s lives. It\u2019s just hideous, what these people are doing.<\/p>\n

The Forbes story on the global warming aspect. “The national media this morning are calling Democrat Alex Sink\u2019s surprise defeat in a bellwether special Congressional election yesterday a foreboding referendum on Obamacare. Perhaps this is so, but only slightly less noteworthy is Sink supporters\u2019 failed attempt to turn victorious Republican David Jolly\u2019s global warming skepticism into a political albatross.”<\/p>\n

James Taylor is the writer of this story for Forbes. He lives in the district. And he said, “Having just moved into Florida\u2019s US House District 13, I was shocked these past two weeks to discover how global warming became the central issue dominating television\u2019s political commercials. Granted, I haven\u2019t been watching much television, as moving from one house to another has been nearly a full-time job. Nevertheless, it seemed I couldn\u2019t go 15 minutes into my limited viewing schedule without seeing the same Sierra Club\/League of Conservation Voters commercial excoriating Jolly for being a global warming skeptic.”<\/p>\n

The point here is the Democrats lost on two of their fundamental issues. The Democrats were rejected big time on two of the most important issues they are pushing: Obamacare and global warming. And I hope they keep it up. I\u2019m tempted to shut up about it. Global warming is not a winning political issue. They haven\u2019t succeeded. This was my point yesterday, a guy called asking me, “Why are you optimistic?” He said, “I don\u2019t see any hope, Rush. The debt alone dooms this country.”<\/p>\n

I said, “If you were sitting where I\u2019m sitting, you\u2019d be optimistic. For 25 years, here, global warming was supposed to be the law of the land and we were supposed to already have laws that dictate the way we live.” When Algore comes out 20 years ago and says, “We\u2019ve only got 10 years or else,” and Ted Danson and all these other wackos?<\/p>\n

Global warming was supposed to have secured the Democrat Party majority 15 years ago. But it\u2019s been beaten back. I mean, there are lot of global warming skeptics, but it\u2019s like anything else. Many in the Republican Party have not made a big deal of it. There have been very few of us who\u2019ve really made a big deal of it, but we pushed it back. We kept this from happening. That\u2019s the reason for being optimistic.<\/p>\n

Now, in this little bellwether election last night, we found — and the Drive-Bys are not reporting this. AP is strictly relating this election to Obamacare. But this guy at Forbes who lives there has made it known that trying to tag the Republican as a global warming denier — and therefore a tool of Big Oil and a tool of Big Energy and a tool of planetary destruction — bombed out big time.<\/p>\n

Sink had a tremendous name recognition advantage over Jolly. Sink\u2019s campaign outspent Jolly, and Sink decided to counter the anti-Obamacare sentiment by defining Jolly as a scientifically dangerous climate change skeptic. Now, if there is any congressional district in America where Democrats should theoretically get the most bang for their buck selling global warming alarmism, this district, Florida 13, should be it.<\/p>\n

You know why? Florida 13 is urban, and it is moderate. The Tea Party — and this is crucial, again, in analyzing the outcome. The Tea Party barely exists in Florida 13. Northeastern and Rust Belt snowbirds dominate the demographics, meaning people from New York and Boston, the Northeast, the Upper Midwest where it\u2019s cold. They have fled, and they now live either all or part time in this district.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a bunch of liberals that have moved down, a bunch of supposedly pro-global warming, climate change fanatics. Now, granted they\u2019re moderates, but this is not a district of native-born Floridians. There was no way this guy was supposed to win this. And, okay, so there was an anti-Obamacare sentiment. “Okay, we can counter that,” the Democrats said, “by portraying this guy as a global warming denier!<\/p>\n

“Because the voters here are from the Northeast, and we know that they love global warming as an issue,” and it didn\u2019t work, and the Tea Party wasn\u2019t there. I\u2019m just reminding you of Governor Christie at CPAC: “[W]e\u2019ve gotta start talking about what we\u2019re for and not what we\u2019re against,” and the reason I reject that is because you tell people what you\u2019re for when you tell them what you\u2019re against.<\/p>\n

I, for one, resent this presumption that by simply opposing Obamacare, you\u2019re against all health care. No. We\u2019re against specific things — and by defining when you\u2019re against something, you are admittedly also informing people about things you\u2019re for. It can\u2019t happen in a vacuum. The final interesting point here is that Jolly didn\u2019t even fight back on the global warming charge.<\/line><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t even run any ads saying, “Don\u2019t listen to her! She\u2019s lying!”<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t even touch it. He did not fight back against this constant global warming political onslaught. It didn\u2019t matter. So there are so many assumptions, so much conventional wisdom about the strengths of the Democrats that\u2019s just bogus. And it\u2019s up to people on our side to gut it up here and start being optimistic and confident that we are right about the things that we hold dear. We are right about the things we believe. We are consummately right about the issues on which we have opinions.<\/p>\n

Despite the media.<\/p>\n

Ignore the media and the conventional wisdom and the daily portrayal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
