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

RUSH: We\u2019ve been talking about the Virginia gubernatorial election tomorrow. Terry “The Punk” — and that\u2019s what we called him during the Clinton days. He was their arm-twisting fundraiser. I tell you, when I heard this guy was gonna run for governor, I just couldn\u2019t believe it. It\u2019d be like… Well, I don\u2019t know. This is the last thing I ever thought this guy would ever really want to do. So he\u2019s there for a reason, it\u2019s related to the Clintons, and that means it\u2019s related to Hillary in 2016. It\u2019s related to trying to secure Virginia for her. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. If I lived in Virginia and everything happening with Obamacare is happening is happening, and Obama rolls into town campaigning for McAuliffe, that\u2019d be all I\u2019d need to run the other way — and I\u2019m being serious. I know I\u2019m partisan in this regard, but for crying out loud! I don\u2019t know what the status of this race is. Last I saw it was McAuliffe up by two, but they\u2019re worried. So say the news reports. Who really knows? Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. This morning in Annandale, Virginia, at The Punk\u2019s campaign rally… Oh, they had Bite Me in there. <\/p>\n

They sent Joe Bite Me, the vice president. Let\u2019s listen to what Joe said.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: This race has captured the attention of the entire nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

BIDEN: Because it\u2019s the first major race between the forces and faces of the new Republican Tea Party, a Tea Party whose social (pause) recidivism is outdone only by its hostility to science and technology, innovation, and scholarship. (screaming) Everything they talk about, without exaggeration, is about turning BACK what the rest of the country and the world thinks is progress.<\/line>RUSH: (sigh) Okay. So they\u2019re attacking the Tea Party. Everybody is scared of the Tea Party. The Republicans are scared of the Tea Party, the Democrats are scared of the Tea Party. They\u2019re scared of Ted Cruz, they\u2019re scared of Mike Lee, they\u2019re scared of Rubio, they\u2019re scared now of Cuccinelli. They\u2019ve always been scared of Sarah Palin. But, you know, this attempt here to portray the Tea Party as a bunch of old-fashioned fuddy-duddies? I find it interesting. <\/line><\/p>\n

Do you know what the left\u2019s absorption with global warming really is? It\u2019s anti-progress. The left has determined that any progress is filthy and polluting and disgusting and must be stopped, and if there is any group of people that want to turn back the clock and reduce progress and technological advancement (particularly the area global warming) it\u2019s these people. These people are the great people of progress? They can\u2019t even set up a website, for crying out loud!<\/p>\n

We gave these people $600 million-plus in three years, and they can\u2019t set up a website, and they are the progressives? They are on the cutting edge of societal evolution? These people want windmills, for crying out loud! They want to go back to foregone days, long-ago days, solar, all of these things that are just unproductive. They want to go back to horse manure in the streets, in effect. If there\u2019s any group of people that wants to roll back progress, it\u2019s the American left, particularly with their devotion to global warming. <\/p>\n

But I love this characterization, the way they\u2019re trying to scare people about the Tea Party. The only thing they\u2019re right about in that regard is that — they in the Tea Party — we, I\u2019ll include myself. We believe in the traditions and institutions that define the country. All these people are trying to do is save this country. They\u2019re just trying to save our culture. They\u2019re trying to save our society. They\u2019re trying to save the Constitution. They\u2019re trying to save individual liberty and freedom. <\/p>\n

The Democrats want to run around and make that look like it\u2019s old-fashioned and unhip? It\u2019s the Tea Party that wants to preserve for you the right to do what you want in your life, to live your life the way you want to, not command-and-control from Washington. The Tea Party doesn\u2019t want you saddled with rules and regulations like Obamacare. The Tea Party doesn\u2019t even think something like this is constitutional. But here they bring in Joe Biden to try to define hip. Joe Biden as an arbiter of cool? I don\u2019t know. You listen to this next bite. Does this sound like people who think they\u2019re about to win? <\/p>\n

You tell me.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: (screaming) The whole nation is lookin\u2019 at this race — and again, that\u2019s not hyperbole. The whole nation is looking at this race. And, folks, it comes down to you. It really is all about turnout. There\u2019s only one place the Tea Party can compete with us, and that is they do turn out their base. They do turn out those who share those views out of the thirties and forties and fifties. They do — and that\u2019s what it is! So don\u2019t take this for granted, man!<\/p>\n

RUSH: No way. Thirties, forties, and fifties, unhip? What does this mean? They\u2019re trying to characterize these people as wanting to go back to the thirties and forties. They call \u2019em terrorists. They call \u2019em the Taliban. You know, why should we be afraid of the Tea Party? What has the Tea Party been wrong about yet? What has the Tea Party been wrong about? Now, you talk about Tea Party and you talk about turnout. <\/p>\n

The Washington Post had an article last week that said McAuliffe would lose unless there was a big turnout from blacks at the polls. It\u2019s really the only hope — not the only hope, but that McAuliffe really needed a huge turnout of black voters if he was going to win, which is probably why Obama\u2019s in there campaigning for him. Because everything else about Obama is an albatross around The Punk\u2019s neck. <\/p>\n

I mean, for crying out loud, he\u2019s the architect of “You get to keep your plan. You get to keep your doctor.” These out-and-out lies that people are discovering now. Saturday Night Live, Jon Stewart, all these so-called hip, pop culture show making fun of this, and actively getting mad. I thought the Democrats loved the thirties and forties! That was FDR. That was the New Deal. I thought they loved that era. I thought if Joe Biden had to point to one of the greatest eras of America he would point to the thirties and forties. <\/p>\n

What happened to the thirties? <\/p>\n

You got the New Deal. The forties we won in World War II, Greatest Generation. What in the world do these people find wrong about the thirties and the forties? In the early fifties they had Harry Truman. What in the world is Biden talking about here? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
