I know you don\u2019t believe this.  I know you don\u2019t understand it.  Despite my heroic efforts to explain this.  And I\u2019m with you.  Look, I lived through the last two months with you.  I know exactly what was going on.  Let us review, shall we?  Let\u2019s take a look at some things.  First we had the <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3429\">Redskin Rule. <\/a> Didn\u2019t count this year.  We had the rising unemployment number throughout the Obama regime, even though it got under <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14360\">8% right before the election.<\/a>  The unemployment situation in this country is a disaster.  There aren\u2019t any jobs being created.  There certainly aren\u2019t any good ones, and there\u2019s no end in sight to what currently is going on. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69271\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRomneyObama_579146bf24963.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mitt Romney was at 52% a week ago in the Gallup poll.  Mitt Romney was up by five or six points for three, four, five days in a row.  Obama never got to 50, until the day before the election, never got to 50.  The crowd turnouts, standing room only, had to change venues for Romney.  Obama can\u2019t fill tiny venues.  He had to move his convention speech from outdoors to indoors \u2019cause they couldn\u2019t round up people to fill the stadium.  They had to move indoors in Las Vegas, couldn\u2019t find people to fill the outdoor stadium, 20,000 there.  The last day on the trail he\u2019s in Ohio.  He\u2019s got Bruce Springsteen. He\u2019s got Jay-Z, half-filled arena. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s all the anecdotal evidence, all the energy that was with Romney. All of the dead signs of resignation and defeat that accompanied Obama.  We had the black pastors, &#8220;The hell we\u2019re voting for this guy. We don\u2019t believe in gay marriage. We don\u2019t like the fact Obama\u2019s linking homosexuality to the civil rights movement. We\u2019re not voting for him, and we\u2019re having all our parishioners not vote for him.&#8221;  We had the religious efforts on the Romney side, because I don\u2019t know that that materialized.  I haven\u2019t been able to find out what the evangelical vote turned out to be.  But there was nothing that pointed to an Obama win, other than the polls, which showed it tied.  Other than Obama constantly at 48%, other than those polls, and the media, there were no external fundamental signs that Obama was gonna win. <\/p>\n<p>Then you dig deep in the exit polls.  According to the exit polls, only four in ten voters thought the economy\u2019s getting better, and they voted for Obama.  What?  Scratch your head.  According to the exit polls, in addition to that, just 25% of voters thought they\u2019re better off financially today than they were four years ago, and they still voted for Obama.  And then Hurricane Sandy.  Obama gets credit for showing up with <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14017\">Chris Christie<\/a>, and that is said what won the election for him?  <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14037\">It\u2019s what killed Romney\u2019s momentum, it\u2019s what everybody said? <\/a> An hour and a half, two hours max in New Jersey, on the ground, accomplishing nothing, with no improvement anywhere in New Jersey or New York for anybody, and Obama is said to get credit for fixing it? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69272\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaClassWarfareDivideConquerWarProsp.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>No president has ever been reelected with the unemployment number over 7.2%.  Sixty-four percent of all voters said that Obama\u2019s response to the devastating from super storm Sandy was a factor in their vote.  Sixty-four percent, according to the exit polls.  None of this makes sense.  None of this jibes with the feelings.  No.  I take it back.  Before the election my thoughts, when I would think about this &#8212; and I told you this on Election Day &#8212; there\u2019s no way Obama wins this, but my feeling, I felt concerned.  You could ask anybody, ask my brother, I had people telling me, asking me Monday and Tuesday, &#8220;Please tell me we\u2019re gonna win this big, please,&#8221; and I didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>I never privately told anybody I thought we were gonna win this big, but I\u2019m like you.  Last night, watching all this stuff come in, it doesn\u2019t jibe with anything we saw.  And yet it happened.  So there has to be a reason for it.  I don\u2019t subscribe to massive, multiple state voting machine fraud or any of that.  That\u2019s just too big an undertaking, and if that is what happened, I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re ever gonna&#8230; I don\u2019t even want to go there.  I do believe, however, I can intellectually believe that we\u2019re outnumbered by the people that voted for Obama.  He turned \u2019em out.  I mean, there is no denying he turned \u2019em out. There\u2019s no denying the way they voted. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69275\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushElectionMap2012.jpg\"\/><BR\/>A lot of it doesn\u2019t make sense until you accept that we have allowed the understanding of what creates prosperity in this country to be blown up into smithereens.  We have permitted the education system in this country to be blown up to smithereens, kindergarten all the way through graduate school.  It is a disaster. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now, what\u2019s gonna happen?  Well, let me go through the list of possibilities here of what can happen in the country, and in no particular order, by the way.  One thing that could happen is that the economy could continue to get worse as more <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14063\">Obamacare is implemented <\/a>and Obama gets his tax increases.  The Bush tax cuts will end, and that will lead to tax increases anyway.  That will result in more money being taken out of the private sector.  The government will get bigger. Obama will continue to borrow.  He will continue to spend. He\u2019ll continue to provide for people.  The people on the receiving end of <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14024\">Obama\u2019s Santa Claus behavior<\/a> will not necessarily feel the negative impact of the economy as those of you who are working or recently lost their jobs or those of you paying the freight will feel. <\/p>\n<p>And it will continue and continue until it collapses.  It could happen in 18 months; it could happen in three years.  But if nothing changes the track we are on, we are facing a financial collapse.  And as we\u2019ve seen in Greece and Spain, the people that live there don\u2019t care that their countries are collapsing.  They just want their pensions, and they want their checks, and they want their union contracts to continue to be paid.  They don\u2019t care what\u2019s happening to their government.  They don\u2019t care what\u2019s happening to the country.  They don\u2019t care who\u2019s paying for it.  By God, it better not stop.  The same thing will happen here. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69273\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ROmneyObamaDebate_Pix2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another possibility.  The American people are extremely resilient.  The question is, are there enough Americans who will roll up their sleeves, &#8220;You know what, I\u2019m just not putting up with this. I\u2019m gonna go ahead, I\u2019m gonna start a business. I\u2019m gonna work hard. I\u2019m gonna try to find a job,&#8221; and will the economy on its own because of the resilience of the American people show some signs of life and begin to recover?  If that happens, can I tell you what else is gonna happen?  Obama\u2019s policies are gonna get the credit for it.  All the spending, all the borrowing, all the stimulus, all the green energy, all that stuff will be proclaimed as the reason why, and we will continue to lose the understanding of how genuine prosperity is created in this country.  It will be forever distorted. <\/p>\n<p>Investor\u2019s Business Daily has a piece today: &#8220;5 Big Stories The Media Will &#8216;Discover\u2019 After The Election.&#8221;  There is a commonality to second terms, presidential second terms, and that is, they never fulfill expectations.  Something happens.  It happened to Reagan, Iran-Contra.  It happened to Clinton, Monica Lewinsky.  It happened to George W. Bush.  Finally the Iraq war took its toll, and you know the story of the last four Bush years.  Bush started his second term saying he was gonna spend his capital to reform and privatize Social Security, and you saw what happened with that.  They demagogued that, Bush pulled it off the table, and a whole new argument began over the government is the best protector of people.  You can\u2019t rely on the private sector at Wall Street, and you can\u2019t have people depend on themselves, government has to do it. <\/p>\n<p>Nixon had Watergate in his second term.  It is also said that the media could possibly get tired of protecting and defending Obama and now go after him.  Just because that\u2019s who they are, that they\u2019re vampires and they have to feed.  There\u2019s only so many Republicans to feed off of now.  Most of them are gone.  Well, I know they got me, but it\u2019s a long shot.  I\u2019m just telling you, these are things that are possible.  Benghazi is going to rear its head.  <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14047\">Benghazi<\/a>, these blissfully ignorant voters who are totally unaware of it last night, are gonna finally hear about this. <\/p>\n<p>But then the question, will they care?  Probably not, folks.  Not the Obama voters.  They probably won\u2019t care, if they don\u2019t care about anything else.  But the five stories Investor\u2019s Business Daily says the media will &#8220;discover.&#8221; &#8220;The economy really does stink. The press studiously ignored the ongoing economic catastrophe under Obama, while parading any &#8216;green shoot\u2019 they could find that suggested growth was around the corner.  Don\u2019t be surprised if, after the election, they start to notice that three years of subpar growth have left the middle class further behind and more mired in poverty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s wishful thinking. The press is invested in this guy. The press is so tied to this guy because of race, there\u2019s no way. I stand to be corrected on this, but the press made this guy who he is. You know, normally the press likes to take people down that they\u2019ve built up. Do you see them taking Obama down? Do you see F. Chuck Todd ripping into Obama? Do you see Chris Matthews ripping into Obama?<\/p>\n<p>Do you see Scott Pelley or Brian Williams ripping into Obama? No. They\u2019re gonna be ripping into me. Make no mistake about that. By the way, it won\u2019t take to the end of this week, folks. I\u2019m gonna be the reason &#8212; not Chris Christie, I\u2019m gonna be the reason &#8212; all this happened. I\u2019m just warning you. I will be the reason. And it\u2019ll be said if the Republican Party wants to have a future, they\u2019re gonna have to shut up people like me and stop listening to people like me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The extremists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it has already started in certain sectors of the Republican consultants\u2019 ranks. It\u2019s already started. Number two on the Investor\u2019s Business Daily list of stories they\u2019ll discover: &#8220;Massive debt and entitlement crises loom. Despite four straight years of $1 trillion-plus deficits and a national debt that now exceeds total GDP&#8230;&#8221; Do you think anybody who voted for Obama even knows what that means?<\/p>\n<p>If you coulda gone to McCormick Place last night before Obama came out and gave his victory speech, and you just picked anybody out of that crowd and said, &#8220;Do you people understand here that the national debt exceeds the GDP?&#8221; how many of them at McCormick Place would have had the slightest idea what you were talking about? I\u2019ll say, conservatively, less than 5%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What\u2019s national debt? And really, what do you mean, GDP?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And then, after you told them, they\u2019d say, &#8220;Okay, what\u2019s the problem?&#8221; This is part and parcel&#8230; We just assume these things we throw out that we understand, that the national debt exceeds the GDP, are understood. We just assume people gonna understand what that means. I bet your average Obama voter not only doesn\u2019t know, but can\u2019t be made to care. It\u2019s not about any of that!<\/p>\n<p>The only way the average Obama voter is gonna care about that is if it\u2019s gonna personally interrupt the flow of goodies, income, or whatever that he\u2019s getting from government. Number three: &#8220;The debt ceiling limit is fast approaching. Another story that went largely unremarked this campaign is the fact that the country is approaching the new debt ceiling limit. The Treasury Dept. warned last week that it expects the government to reach its borrowing limit before the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I take you back to McCormick Place.<\/p>\n<p>Pick any Obama voter out of that massive crowd last night and say, &#8220;You know what? The debt ceiling is coming up. We\u2019re gonna have to make special arrangements to keep borrowing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, so do it,&#8221; they\u2019ll say. &#8220;What\u2019s the problem? If we\u2019ve reached the limit, just raise it. Problem solved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then if you say, &#8220;Well, do you know what the debt limit is?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, uh, uh, I assume it\u2019s, you know, what &#8212; what debt that we should limit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s exactly right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next story that IBD says that the media will discover: &#8220;Obamacare isn\u2019t what it was cracked up to be. After two years of ignoring health reform\u2019s fundamental flaws, the press will likely admit that Obamacare is fundamentally flawed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Uh, let\u2019s head back to McCormick Place and ask, &#8220;Do you realize that Obamacare is gonna cost the average American an additional $2500 in premiums?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m not paying for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, yes, you will. You wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69276\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareAgent.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah, I\u2019m not gonna pay for it! I\u2019m not paying for my health care now. The union takes care of that or the government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, but are you aware that the IRS has 16,000 new agents that are gonna be running around making sure that if you don\u2019t have health insurance, you\u2019re paying a fine?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t believe that. I don\u2019t believe that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it\u2019s true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Your average McCormick Place attendee says, &#8220;No, no. A fine for not having health insurance? No. Besides, Obama\u2019s gonna provide it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the other issue: &#8220;Obama\u2019s deficit-cutting plan won\u2019t work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you really think they care about the deficit?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think they give a rat\u2019s rear end about it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ll go to Los Angeles, and this is Yakov is with us now.  Hi, Yakov, great to have you on the program.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, great to talk to you, Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  This is an honor.  You know, in the early nineties, I was going to college. I was president of the young Democrats at the time, believe it or not, and a gentleman said to me something very brilliant that you said yesterday, so I know where he got it from. I called myself a moderate, and he said to me, &#8220;A moderate is nothing but a liberal that has no guts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  A liberal that doesn\u2019t have the guts to say he\u2019s a liberal.  Yep.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Exactly.  So that was quite amazing to hear that, you brought me back yesterday.  And of course I\u2019ve changed my stance and I have the guts to say I\u2019m a conservative today.  You\u2019ve helped out a lot with that.  The reason I\u2019m calling in today is because, you know, I am highly disappointed in how out of touch the Republicans have become with who they\u2019re speaking with, not with what they stand for.  I loved Romney. There\u2019s nobody more qualified for president in my lifetime than Romney.  I really believe that.  But our message to the people should not have been to the people who already know that. <\/p>\n<p>The reason that Obama won is he did not go to the people who have some intelligence and are liberal and they already knew who they were voting for.  He didn\u2019t go to the women that already knew who they were voting for, or the Hispanics who already knew or the blacks.  He went to the homeless shelters. He went to the people who were on welfare, that he was paying their salaries. He went to the people who are, you know, on unemployment but they got their benefits extended.  He went to the people who really don\u2019t understand how the economy works, you know, the people that have no &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69277\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaCollageSmart.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  He didn\u2019t have to go to them.  His party has created them via the education system.  He didn\u2019t have to visit a homeless shelter.  The people there already think what they think because Obama\u2019s party has gamed it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.  And those people have no clue what Republicans can do for them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Uh, uh, uh, uh, yes, they do.  He-he-he.  Republicans mean they gotta work.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s what they think Republicans mean, that they have to work.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, Rush, there\u2019s that element, but we\u2019ve got a lot of people who are hardworking people who are unemployed today.  And those people, they would love to be working, you know, but they\u2019re on the unemployment line.  And they\u2019re also in the welfare lines.  I mean, what did they say, 800 and something billion dollars, more than the defense budget.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, what percentage of this group are you talking about you think voted for Obama?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, it didn\u2019t need to be that many people.  He just had to push \u2019em over the edge.  The people who could be pushed, the people that could be swayed, anybody who didn\u2019t vote last year &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  If you\u2019re talking about hardworking people &#8212; and I agree with you, they\u2019re out there, hard working, they really want to work, and they really want jobs &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8212; if they\u2019re engaged enough to want that, I would submit to you they have to know that their biggest obstacle\u2019s Obama and would vote against him.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  If they know how government works.  If they know how economy works.  If they know that, you know, if you raise the taxes on a corporation, they\u2019re gonna lay off people.  If they know that if you\u2019re gonna tax people 35% that they\u2019re gonna add jobs?  I mean, they haven\u2019t been taught to do that math.  They haven\u2019t even been taught the basics.  All they\u2019ve been taught is what you used to talk about back in the nineties, I remember you talking about baby seals.  That\u2019s what the Democrats talk about.  You know, they have their baby seal &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img id=\"eZObject_69270\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/00-24_7Self585.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, baby seals, now they\u2019re talking about Hurricane Sandy, global warming, and green energy.  But yeah, it\u2019s one thing or another.  Well, you\u2019re basically saying what I\u2019m saying, that Obama corralled the uninformed vote.  But I\u2019m submitting to you that some of the people that you say are uninformed are really not.  They are informed enough to know that Obama is the guy that\u2019s going to be make a lifestyle without work possible.  Two years of unemployment can reduce your work ethic.  We know psychological studies.  The longer you are out of work, the harder it is to go back. <\/p>\n<p>The longer you\u2019re out of work, the harder it is to look for a job, because you lose your self-esteem.  You lose confidence.  You don\u2019t think anybody would want you, and you don\u2019t think you can do the job.  It really is a destructive thing, psychologically.  And that is capitalized upon, played upon by Democrats, liberals, statists who want people like that precisely turning to the government for their solution.  And put a cherry on top of that, a little icing on that cake, tell those people that they\u2019re in that circumstance \u2019cause Republicans own all these corporations and won\u2019t hire anybody \u2019cause they want to keep the profits for themselves.  It\u2019s a never-ending cycle.  Yakov, I\u2019m glad you called.  It\u2019s great to have you out there.  I appreciate it. <\/p>\n<p>This Julie, Morgantown, West Virginia. Hi. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019re the first person I wanted to talk to after yesterday because of how logical you are. I think it\u2019s a twofold problem that kind of go hand in hand. I am agreeing with you. I think it\u2019s an info-reaching problem and an image-reaching problem. Obviously the info is pretty obvious as far as how the liberal news media covers things, but I have a brother who\u2019s a moderate. I would consider him a moderate.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, I would say it\u2019s more how the media doesn\u2019t cover things with Obama than what they do cover or even how they cover it. It\u2019s what they don\u2019t cover that is the big problem.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, I think people don\u2019t know what they\u2019re getting. My brother, I brought up Benghazi to him, and (giggles) he had heard briefly about the situation but he had no clue the details.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69282\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaVSAmericaMarxSocialist.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, what was his reaction when you gave him the details?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He was really shocked about it, and I also had mentioned&#8230; He\u2019s in pharmaceuticals, and I told him his company is kind of waiting. They\u2019ve had cutbacks and they\u2019re kind of waiting to see what happens in January. You know, he wasn\u2019t sure what\u2019s going to happen with his company, and I said, &#8220;You know what they\u2019re waiting for?&#8221; And he said, &#8220;No, what?&#8221; I said, &#8220;They\u2019re waiting to see if Obama gets in or not, because if Obama gets in, you could really see some cuts and even the closure of your company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And he had no clue.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m sure not. I\u2019m sure he didn\u2019t. Most people don\u2019t! (chuckles) It\u2019s gonna be fun to be here on the day in January when people the get their first paychecks.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: When they see the Bush tax cuts ending, that\u2019s gonna affect everybody, not just the rich. And the payroll tax, and some of the Obamacare taxes. Because a whole bunch of stuff that kicks in, in January. I\u2019ll be real interested to see. I really will be interested to see how people react to that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But I think Obama&#8230; I think the Democrats or Obama has done a good job at not just getting on the news media, but putting himself out there. I think there\u2019s an image problem that Republicans have and conservatives have, and it\u2019s not&#8230; I don\u2019t even think it directly, you know, has anything to do with how Romney comes off. I know people that are liberals who think all conservatives are against alternative energy and against helping people, which is exactly the opposite. But they\u2019re not informed. They\u2019re just kept in the dark. If they don\u2019t listen to you or, you know, other strictly conservative outlets, you\u2019re not going to get the image, the true image of what a conservative is on some of these issues.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, clearly there\u2019s a branding problem the Republican Party has. You could say it\u2019s marketing, branding, image. Clearly it exists, and the main reason it does is that I don\u2019t know anybody&#8230; I really don\u2019t. I\u2019m 25 years into this program, and if I were to be asked, &#8220;How do you fight people lying about you?&#8221; I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d say. To this day I don\u2019t know how to deal with that, other than being who you are every day.<\/p>\n<p>Look at what they did to Romney in the early parts of the campaign &#8212; and by proud admission they did this! They lied. Romney was responsible for a guy\u2019s wife dying from cancer. The press knew it wasn\u2019t true, but they marveled at the audacity and brilliance of the Obama campaign. Stephanie Cutter was lying through her teeth every day about Romney <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15162\">being a felon<\/a>, about herself not being involved in the commercial <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14917\">involving a guy\u2019s wife who died <\/a>with cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Then they say that Romney\u2019s a felon. Then they say Romney\u2019s got this, Romney did that. They caricatured Mitt Romney as the most mean-spirited, vicious, lying criminal, felon. He didn\u2019t care about somebody\u2019s wife dying. It was 180 degrees from the truth. The media knew it was happening. Romney didn\u2019t respond to it \u2019cause he was busy raising money at that moment in order to run ads later on in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Obama timed the Romney dirt campaign when he did. So Romney throughout the campaign never once&#8230; The convention was the only effort that was made to refute any of that, but they didn\u2019t say, &#8220;By the way, what you\u2019re hearing about me isn\u2019t true.&#8221; They just brought person after person after person up to testify about what essentially a great, charitable, <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14023\">nice guy Romney <\/a>is and hoped that it spoke for itself.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no antidote. See, we are kind of hamstrung because we don\u2019t think we have to lie about the Democrats. All we have to do is tell <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14018\">the truth about where their policies will lead<\/a>, about what they intend with their policies. That truth doesn\u2019t carry the day as often as their lies carry the day. It\u2019s a psychological thing. I\u2019m not equipped to tell anybody how to deal with being lied about. You know, I\u2019m somebody who is lied about routinely.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I appreciate the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Hey, folks, I know you\u2019re in shock.
