RUSH: Tina in Baton Rouge Louisiana great to have you with us on the EIB Network hello.
CALLER: Oh, hi, Rush. It’s such an honor to speak to the Last Man Standing.
RUSH: Thank you very much. I am no longer, by the way, the Last Man Standing. That is General Colin Powell. I have resigned as titular head of the Republican Party.
CALLER: Okay. Anyway, my question is, do you think that the rank-and-file Democrats really want to nationalize, like Obama does, all of the private sector?
Now here’s the interesting thing. These new little putt-putts — Oh, I got a note from somebody at the Putt-Putt company, which is franchised miniature golf: ‘Could you please not besmirch us by calling Obama cars putt-putts?’ I just remembered that. Okay, so these little lawn mowers with two seats on them. Even USA Today, of all places, has a story on how much less safe on the highway all of us are going to be, how highway deaths are going to increase because everybody’s going to be at greater risk in these smaller little lawn mowers with two seats on them. Now, guess what? You’re being required to buy one does not start until Obama’s last year in office, 2016. Even if rank-and-file Democrats end up hating this, he’s gone, unless he manages to shred the Twenty-Second Amendment and run for a third term. That’s a good question.
The answer to that question, do rank-and-file Democrats really want the government owning car companies? I got a story here today, the unions don’t want to run ’em, the unions don’t want to run the car companies. I can’t answer it. They voted for this and we tried to tell ’em this is exactly who he was but nobody believed it on the Democrat side, and even some of our own Republicans still don’t believe it. So it’s going to be a while before we know the answer to the question. I can’t tell you now. Wish I could.
