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

RUSH: Here\u2019s the Lincoln quote, and I\u2019m paraphrasing. Somebody quoted Lincoln in this meeting, and essentially it was the best way to get rid of a bad law is to let it fully implement. That is a paraphrase of the quote that I am told somebody used today.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if it was in the House or Senate, but it was mentioned in a Republican caucus meeting today. Of course, how convenient, because this is a strategery that the Republicans have evolved. “Let the thing implement. Just back out of the way, you know, when your opponent\u2019s committing suicide” is the theory. “Get out of the way, let it happen, and so forth.” But we\u2019re talking about an entitlement, and none of those have ever been repealed other than the one with Rostenkowski.<\/p>\n

I think it was Lincoln who once said, “Don\u2019t believe any quotes you read on the Internet,” as well. Well, you know, for the longest time, when I started the show there were these 10 things Lincoln said going around that were never said by Lincoln. They were great conservative theory, but they were never said by Lincoln. They were said by a preacher, a pamphleteer of the day, and I had all these Nimrods sending this to me as though they were on to something revolutionary, and it wasn\u2019t Lincoln.<\/line><\/p>\n

So any time Lincoln is quoted, I\u2019m careful. But apparently he did say it. “The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.” I think it\u2019s a legit quote. So, anyway, that was used today, just the Republican philosophy and theory on this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I\u2019ve looked it up here, and it\u2019s a legit quote. But there\u2019s a problem here. “The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.” Well, there\u2019s a problem. We\u2019re not enforcing it strictly. We\u2019re letting Obama waive and delay the bad parts of it. In fact, some of the proposals from the Republicans are to make it more palatable. This bill was a stinker from the get-go and Obama knew it. Over 2,500 waivers!<\/p>\n

He has allowed members of Congress and their staff to be subsidized up to 75% of their premiums. He\u2019s exempted unions from it here and there. He has delayed the employer mandate by a full year. So we\u2019re not strictly implementing it. We\u2019re not. Obama is extra-constitutional. He doesn\u2019t have the power to do what he\u2019s doing unless nobody challenges him on it, and nobody is. He\u2019s just not implementing some of the bad parts of it.<\/p>\n

So the idea that they\u2019re gonna sit here and strictly enforce this thing and have it implemented, and let people see how rotten it is? Obama\u2019s doing everything he can to delay that, \u2019til long after he\u2019s gone at the Barack and Michelle Obama Peace Garden for Social Justice in Hawaii or wherever they\u2019re gonna go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
