RUSH: They’re already after the Kentucky governor. Before the guy is even sworn in, predictably, this is a prediction that I made — gee, I don’t know, years ago. I’ll just tell you this, you’ll see what I mean. This is from the Washington Post: “KentuckyÂ’s Newly Insured Worry About Their Health Under Next Governor.” (laughing) We just had a Republican governor, a Tea Party guy, a staunch conservative win in a landslide in Kentucky, in part running against Obamacare, and here comes the Drive-By Media saying that the people in Kentucky are now getting scared and they’re worried that this new wacko governor is gonna take their health care away from ’em.
The way the Republicans act is kind of like the way the adults at Mizzou are acting. It’s stunning to note the similarities between the way the adults at the University of Missouri, particularly some of the alums, the administration, the board of curators, they’re acting identically to the Republicans and the way they deal with the Democrats. The Republicans are scared to death to stand up to the Democrats. The Republicans scared to death to stand up to the media. The Republicans are scared to death to oppose, to push back, and that’s exactly what’s happening on the campus at Mizzou.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: “Amid the coal fields of eastern Kentucky, a small clinic that is part of the Big Sandy Health Care network furnishes daily proof of this state’s full embrace of the Affordable Care Act. It was here that Mindy Fleming handed a wad of tissues to Tiffany Coleman when she arrived, sleepless and frantic, with no health insurance and a daughter suffering a 103-degree fever and mysterious pain. ‘It will be all right,’ Fleming assured her, and it was.
So, you see, we have a story here. We have a newly elected Republican governor, and we have the myth that everybody in the state loves Obamacare. The guy ran for office in part on replacing it, repealing it, doing away, ’cause it’s a disaster and replacing it with something works. Yet this story in the Washington Post portrays Kentucky as one of the biggest pro-Obamacare states out there. If that’s true, how’d this guy get elected? The second thing they’re now doing is they’re trying to warn people.
“You know what? You elected this Republican! You know what that means? He’s gonna take your health care away from you. He doesn’t want you to have health care. That’s his whole objective. Yep, this Republican governor wants you to get sick, and then this Republican governor doesn’t want you to get treatment. If you die, he doesn’t care, just like the people at Mizzou.” You see how this works? And that’s what’s being set up. He hasn’t even been inaugurated. He just won the election last week, and already the people of Kentucky are being warned about what they did.
But as the Ben Carson episode is showing, these people can be beaten back, and they can be beaten. And even the Drive-Bys are writing about how Carson is beating them — and some of them are indeed.
