RUSH: Yesterday this program provided a bunch of fodder for the left to bounce off of. <\/a>Here\u2019s another example. This is Bob Bennett. Now, Bob Bennett is — which Bob Bennett is this? Oh, this is the RINO Bob Bennett. You know, there are so many Bennetts out there. There\u2019s Bill Bennett, and then there\u2019s his brother Uncle Bob, and then there is Rita Braver, the CBS reporterette. Her husband is a Bennett who does book deals. He\u2019s an agent for everybody, and that\u2019s a Bob Bennett. And this guy is Robert Bennett, who is the former senator from Utah. And that\u2019s who this sound bite is. Oh, he hates Republicans. This was during a National Journal forum entitled The Day After, the 2012 election debrief. The panelist here, former Utah Republican senator Bob Bennett.<\/p>\n

BENNETT: The Woodward book, the one fellow who does not come off well in the Woodward book is the president of the United States. Not because he is the socialist Saul Alinsky type that all of the Republicans claim he is. I got to know him in the Senate, and I never found that out about him until after Rush Limbaugh informed me. (laughing) I hope he has learned by virtue of this campaign, yeah, you won, and that\u2019s great, but if you\u2019re gonna govern, you have got to listen to people who have credentials other than those that you conferred upon them, and you\u2019ve got to give those people a place at the table.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, listen to this Looney Toon. This guy\u2019s on a forum telling Obama what he\u2019s gotta do to govern basically bitching at me. Mr. Bennett, Senator Bennett, he is an Alinskyite, and that does mean something. He taught Alinskyism. <\/p>\n

See, these RINOs? They sit out there and they reject… I don\u2019t know why. Because it scares \u2019em? They think it\u2019s extreme? I don\u2019t know what. Rita Braver. That\u2019s who it is. Rita Braver is married to the Bob Bennett book agent guy. Anyway, this former Republican Senator is making fun or laughing at the fact that Obama is something he doesn\u2019t know. Meanwhile, he\u2019s sitting there talking about how Obama\u2019s gotta learn to compromise.<\/p>\n

Why do you think he doesn\u2019t? He\u2019s an Alinskyist! He\u2019s an Alinskyite. That\u2019s amazing to me. He\u2019s just blind, utterly blind, worthlessly blind. (interruption) Well, it is why Bennett was tossed out, but still he\u2019s sitting there all arrogant. He doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s talking about. He dares to sit there and say (impression), “The Obama that was in the Woodward book is not very good guy. I served with him in the Senate.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t know he was an Alinskyite, whatever the hell that is, \u2019til Rush Limbaugh told me. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” And he goes on to talk about how Obama\u2019s stubborn and won\u2019t work with anybody. George Stephanopoulos, on ABC\u2019s World News Tonight, is excited that there\u2019s a “civil war” in the GOP. Diane Sawyer said, Recycliiiiiiiiiing! “George, give me your bottom line on the Republicans now. We talked about the soul-searching. What do they (hiccup) do next?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Soul-searching, perhaps civil war. You gotta look at this party right now. They have won the popular vote only once since 1988 in the presidential rate and it was probably best summed up by Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union. He said the party is “too old too white and too male.” They lost young women, single women, by almost 40 points; Hispanics by almost 40 points; blacks by more than 80 points. This is a party that has to create a much bigger tent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, there you go, and the Republican Party believes this. This Al Cardenas, the head of the American Conservative Union, said the party is too old, too white, too male. Three million Republicans didn\u2019t vote<\/a>. And if they had, these numbers on single women and Hispanics would not have mattered because Romney would have won. But the theme is that the Republicans are too exclusive.<\/p>\n

Look, I don\u2019t want to bore you. We mentioned this in the first hour and a half of this program.<\/a> I\u2019m just telling you this is where they are. This is what the Republican Party is listening to. They listen to people like Stephanopoulos and this conservative guy, Al Cardenas. Too old, too white, too male. Lost single women, Hispanics. Again, I\u2019m just gonna ask the question: The Hispanic voters, why do they vote Democrat? And it isn\u2019t immigration policy.<\/p>\n

It is not immigration policy. That\u2019s not why Hispanics vote for Democrats. Republicans, to get the 75% of Hispanics that vote for Democrats, are gonna have to become members of the welfare state. And then they\u2019re gonna have to compete for the welfare state vote better at it than the Democrats do. Or they\u2019re gonna have to embark on an outreach program to explain to \u2019em why the welfare state\u2019s not in anybody\u2019s best interest, and try to talk \u2019em out of it.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s why 75% of Hispanics vote Democrat. And this is academic, scholarly research produced yesterday by Heather Mac Donald. I\u2019m not making it up. She\u2019s the scholar on this stuff. Seventy-five percent vote Democrat because they believe in the big expansion of government, social safety net, and progressive taxation. It had nothing to do with immigration policy. Single women vote for the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party is their husband.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have to get married. The husband, provider, whatever, is Democrats. If the Republican Party wants to take over that role, fine. In addition, the Democrat Party is not only the husband which provides the birth control pills and all the abortions they want. If you want to get that vote, that\u2019s what you gotta do, or you have to reach that constituency and tell \u2019em why they\u2019re wrong and talk \u2019em out of it.<\/p>\n

But to get those voters as they exist, I asked the question yesterday: “Okay, what do we have to have to do? Do we have to become pro-choice? Do we have to start passing out birth control pills on the corner? Do we have to tell the Catholic Church to shut the hell up? Is that what we have to do?” That\u2019s what the Democrats do. That\u2019s how they get their votes. But the Republican Party thinks they have gotta do something here.<\/p>\n

“We got to get those votes. Those votes are why we\u2019re losing everything,” and, meanwhile, three million of their own voters stayed home. Herman Cain was on the radio yesterday, and he was asked, “We had conservatives in the primary, and yet we wound with a Massachusetts moderate as the nominee, Mr. Cain. How do we keep that mistake from happening again?”<\/p>\n

CAIN: We need a third party to save this country. This country is in trouble, and it is clear that neither party is going to fix the problems we face. I don\u2019t believe the Republican Party has the ability to rebrand itself against the mainstream media machine that blatantly works to support this president and other liberals as well as the Democrats.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I understand what he\u2019s saying. But if somebody forms a third party the media will just go after it same way. Charles Krauthammer was on Special Report with Bret Baier last night for the All-Star Panel, talking about Republicans and the Hispanic vote. Get ready here…<\/p>\n

KRAUTHAMMER: … Hispanics, and that is not an intrinsic ethnic affinity problem. It\u2019s a policy problem. The Republicans are… Romney ran to the right of Rick Perry in the primaries on that issue. He never recovered. I think, uh, Republicans can change their position. Be a lot more open to actual amnesty with enforcement. Amnesty, everything short of citizenship. And to make a bold change in their policy enforcement and then immediately after, a guarantee of amnesty. That would change everything. If you had a Rubio arguing that, it would completely upend all the ethnic alignment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it, folks. We just come out for amnesty, and that\u2019s how we get the Hispanic vote. And then we come out for abortion and we get the women\u2019s vote. We get Marco Rubio to come out for amnesty and problem solved. But except the problem is, the problem is that the Hispanic vote is not voting amnesty! Folks, I\u2019m sorry to have to be repetitive here. The Hispanic vote is not voting for the Democrat Party on the basis of immigration policy. That is not why 75% of the Hispanics that vote for the Democrats are voting for them. It\u2019s nothing to do with immigration policy.<\/p>\n

This is a trap.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a real trap.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I really don\u2019t believe what I just heard on Fox News, the sound bite that we played, that we\u2019ve gotta go for amnesty. We have to get Marco Rubio out there to make the pitch for amnesty. That is such a misreading. Seventy-two percent of the people that voted Tuesday were white. You would not know that listening to the media. By the way, George Stephanopoulos? You\u2019re too old, you\u2019re too male, and you\u2019re too white to be on TV.<\/p>\n

You are not what the American viewer wants anymore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I mean, we\u2019re gonna sit here and be told that voters don\u2019t want too white, too old? They\u2019re not gonna vote for \u2019em? What the hell are you doing on television? Make way for an Hispanic or get some pregnant woman on there who\u2019s gonna have an abortion — and have that televised, and then you\u2019ll really get ratings. What is this? George Stephanopoulos is too old, too white, too male to be on TV. Bret Baier, too old, too white… Well, he\u2019s not too old, but he\u2019s gonna be too old someday.<\/p>\n

We gotta get rid of all the white people on TV.<\/p>\n

They simply are not the way to get an audience. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, looks like ratings were down, TV ratings on election night, over 2008. It\u2019s obviously because the networks are too white, too old, and too male. Brian Williams, old, white male. George Stephanopoulos, old, white male. CBS — who the hell even did CBS? Scott Pelley, old, gosh, ancient old, wrinkles, white, male. Is it any wonder? Is it any wonder whatsoever? Meanwhile, Fox kicked butt because there\u2019s Megyn Kelly in high heels walking all over the place trying to keep Karl Rove happy. Makes a difference, folks. These guys are on to something. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Elizabeth in Palm City, Florida. Really glad you waited. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I\u2019m a naturalized American citizen of Hispanic background, who, about 26 years ago earned the right to vote. And I wanted to give you my opinion on the so-called Hispanic vote. I think it\u2019s very important to note that there\u2019s two types of Hispanic voters. The Hispanic voter who earned the right to vote, who is always conservative, family oriented, religiously bound person, and then you have the illegals that, through amnesty and after all these years, were able to become citizens and vote. In my opinion, the first type of Hispanic is the type that the gentleman from the Journal, the first article that you said, that we believe in the American way and hard work and everything that America has to offer.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no question. See, here\u2019s the thing. The Hispanic vote is not monolithic just like the women vote is not monolithic and the male vote\u2019s not monolithic. They don\u2019t all think the same. And clearly there are Hispanics who believe in hard work, they were all over the Republican convention. They\u2019re all over the Republican Party. But the majority of them vote Democrat, and they vote Democrat because they believe in an expansionist government. They believe in Santa Claus<\/a>. They believe in progressive taxation. This has been documented, empirical data, in studies. It\u2019s not somebody\u2019s opinion. Heather Mac Donald\u2019s looked into it. There\u2019s no question about it. <\/p>\n

The vast majority of Hispanics do not vote Democrat because of immigration policy. It counts, but fourth or fifth on the list. The Republicans think that the Hispanic vote votes entirely on immigration policy, and it doesn\u2019t, and therefore they think, and we just heard Dr. Krauthammer say that the Republicans ought to get Marco Rubio up there to sponsor an amnesty program, and that would fix the problem. It wouldn\u2019t. I\u2019m gonna tell you something else, folks. This Santa Claus business, I need to draw a little distinction. It\u2019s really not the government that\u2019s Santa Claus. It\u2019s the Democrat Party that\u2019s Santa Claus. When you get right down to it, it\u2019s the Democrat Party that\u2019s promising all this freebie stuff. It\u2019s the Democrat Party that\u2019s conveying to people, “You\u2019ll be okay, vote for us, we\u2019ll take care of you. If you lose your job, fine. If you lose your job, we\u2019ll make sure you eat, have a phone, have a car, have gasoline, free minutes on the phone, big TV set out there, and then we\u2019ll also find a way to send you to a work training center to make it look like –” the Democrat Party is Santa Claus. That\u2019s the appeal. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, when they happen to run the government, yes, the government\u2019s Santa Claus. The government\u2019s the repository for the money. But it\u2019s the Democrats that choose to spend it the way they spend it, i.e., free stuff. It\u2019s the appeal of the Democrat Party. The question is are we outnumbered by people that want that out of a political party. Conservatives want political parties and governments to get the hell out of the way. Turn us loose. Let us use our own ambition, desire, talent, to become the best we can be. We want to triumph. We want to prosper. The Democrat Party has done its best to distort the whole definition of prosperity and where it comes from. The Democrat Party has done everything it can to make sure that people do not think hard work equals prosperity. <\/p>\n

Hard work means you\u2019re gonna get screwed. Having to work means you\u2019re gonna get screwed. The Democrat Party lives and breathes today on distorting the entire explanation of how prosperity happens and how wealth is created. And if the people that vote for the Democrat Party were ever truly informed and educated about prosperity, where it comes from and how it happens, the Democrats would be finished. But that\u2019s a long time off. People who vote for the Democrat Party have a distorted understanding of how prosperity is created, how wealth is created, the source of it, and all that. Well, some do think it\u2019s evil, some think it\u2019s unfair. Some think that wealth and prosperity is unfair, and the Democrat Party feeds off that, too. No question about it. Thanks, Elizabeth. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s Prince William County, Virginia. Angela, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush. Again, I live in Prince William County, and I was one of the many volunteers on Election Day, and I had a lot of people that volunteered for me in 11 precincts, and we had everybody from black people to male and female, Christians, Hispanics, people of Indian descent, Native Americans, young white male and females. But when we looked at the numbers, we realized that a significant number of people did not vote and we still don\u2019t know why. I listened to the gentleman named Ken and I\u2019m beginning to understand there was a lot of talk about people just simply would not vote for Romney because he wasn\u2019t conservative enough. But I also want to say that I think that you are just totally wrong about the reason why a lot of black people and Latino people don\u2019t vote with the Republican Party or how they view the Republican Party, and it\u2019s been consistent across the board. The Republican Party is the party of old white males. And whenever you combine that with an absolute through and through corrupt media that want to say not only are they old white males, but they\u2019re racist old white males —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, see, now, that\u2019s the point. Now, I have never said that\u2019s not how they see the Republican Party. I think it\u2019s a bit of a distortion. Let me ask you this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not arguing. You know, don\u2019t misinterpret the tone in my voice. I\u2019m not trying to put you on the spot. But you say that I\u2019m wrong, that a lot of minorities look at the Republican Party as old white men. What\u2019s wrong with white guys? What\u2019s wrong with old white men? What is that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, look, whenever you use the word “conservative,” “Republican” for a lot of people, because of the media, and I\u2019m talking about across the board, everything from movies, to music —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — to the news, the word “conservative” in itself for a lot of people means racist or supporter of racism.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, it means racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe.<\/p>\n

CALLER: People making those types of statements “return to values that made us great,” for a lot of black people that means return to slave-like conditions or Jim Crow. There are a lot of people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, hold it just a second. How stupid is that? Serious, how ridiculous is that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Again, whenever you have a media that is corrupt as it is, and whenever you have people like your Michael Eric Dysons and your Tavis Smileys and all that combined in that, that people, unfortunately, do trust as —<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand. I know that this is what the Democrats have said about us. I know it\u2019s what the media says and your Michael Eric Dysons and Tavis Smileys and all these people, I understand that. My question, I guess is — it\u2019s untrue — I don\u2019t want to accept the premise of it, \u2019cause it isn\u2019t true. There is no desire to return to slavery. There\u2019s no desire to return to Jim Crow, none of it. It\u2019s just the exact opposite. Why does Clarence Thomas being a Republican not refute that? I want to know, Angela, why does Condoleezza Rice not refute that? Why does Marco Rubio not refute that? Tell me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, simply because for a lot of black people, whenever they see black people, even like myself, supporting the Republican Party that they believe is racist, we\u2019re seen as Uncle Tom sellouts, regardless of what you may say —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, Uncle Tom. Well, whose fault is that? Let me tell you something. That\u2019s not Republican Party\u2019s fault because there\u2019s not a grain of truth in it, just like I had heard a story, a woman actually showed up and said she wasn\u2019t gonna vote for Mitt Romney because he\u2019s cruel to dogs. Why did she think that? Because the Democrats ran a commercial about Romney taking his dog on vacation on the roof of the car. Now, I\u2019m sorry, but the fact that a bunch of uninformed, ill-informed people think that Republicans want to go back to slavery, that is not a Republican problem. I don\u2019t know how the Republicans solve it. <\/p>\n

There is no move to go back to slavery. There is no move for any of these things these people fear. These are lies that are being spread by the Democrat Party and the media. It\u2019s their problem. Nah, that\u2019s not the right — it is a problem for us, but it isn\u2019t true. And I\u2019m just telling you, we\u2019re being outnumbered by people who think this way<\/a>, and there\u2019s not a damn thing policy-wise we can do to change it. Coming out for amnesty is not going to change the Hispanic guy you\u2019re talking about\u2019s view of the Republican Party. It isn\u2019t gonna make any difference. I am long here. I gotta take a break. I wish I had more time <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
