It\u2019s inarguable. Barack Obama is engaging in a war on the rich. Barack Obama is the one who is engaging in class warfare. Barack Obama is the one who is trying to profit from dividing people. Barack Obama, as president and as a campaigner, is doing everything he can to create discord from the have-nots against the haves. Obama\u2019s war on the so-called rich is really a war on success, a war on success that has nothing to do with government.<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama is trying to create this dependence that Romney was talking about. That\u2019s a the definition of &#8220;success&#8221; for the modern Democrat Party. As many people dependent on government as possible is the objective. That cements their power: This creation of need and dependency on the part of as many Americans as possible for government, for Obama, as saviors. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15794\">The Julia video says it all! That\u2019s the model citizen<\/a>: One totally dependent on government even for a trip to the park to pick flowers, for crying out loud!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_67062\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTeaParty585_091812.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It is Barack Obama who has <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15503\">divided people<\/a>. It\u2019s Barack Obama who has <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14552\">created that 47%<\/a>, although I will point out that some of the people who are not paying income taxes in this country are not paying them because of Republican ideas, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. It\u2019s one of these areas that Romney\u2019s gonna have to be careful. You know, he\u2019s a tax-cutter; so he can\u2019t appear to be the enemy of low taxes. That\u2019s not what he was doing here. What he was clearly doing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question, in fact. He was merely telling these donors&#8230; He\u2019s there with some high-rollers in Boca, and he\u2019s telling them that his message of low taxes and cutting taxes might not connect with people who aren\u2019t paying any. And that\u2019s certainly the truth. He\u2019s running a campaign as a tax-cutter, and he was merely saying his message of low taxes does not connect with people that don\u2019t pay any taxes. Now, the Mother Jones article (I have it here, the David Corn piece) very conveniently and carefully left that part out.<\/p>\n<p>This is the same media that always harps on trying to tell us that Obama is being taken out of context. Romney is being taken out of context here a little bit himself. Now, I\u2019m telling you, my friends: This is a golden opportunity. It\u2019s an opportunity for Romney and the entire conservative establishment, including the conservative media for once &#8212; including inside-the-Beltway conservative media! It is a time to stop pretending that this is the same old, standard election.<\/p>\n<p>Something\u2019s on the line here.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to start getting with the program. This is not just the next election. The future of the country and a financial collapse being averted is what is on the agenda this election. As such, the objective has always been stopping Obama. The 2010 midterms, what were they about? Stopping Barack Obama. There wasn\u2019t a Republican candidate that people were rallying around. There wasn\u2019t even a set of Republican philosophical ideas to rally around. There was just, &#8220;We gotta stop this. The 2010 midterms, Tea Party.  We\u2019ve got to stop this.&#8221;  And look at the landslide turnout that there was for that.  Now, nothing\u2019s changed.  It\u2019s only gotten worse since 2010.  Same circumstances, same economic circumstances have gotten worse, except now Obamacare is a full-fledged reality that has been sworn into law by the Supreme Court and there\u2019s only one chance of getting rid of it, and it\u2019s this election.  There\u2019s no reason for the energy, the enthusiasm, the anti-Obama mentality of 2010 to have lessened.  It\u2019s heightened. <\/p>\n<p>Now there\u2019s an added benefit.  We have an opportunity to add what wasn\u2019t there in 2010, and that is a Republican candidate with the right philosophical message, which would be conservatism.  This could be a slam dunk and it\u2019s just sitting there on a silver platter.  We have to stop over-thinking it.  We have to stop think-tanking this, getting into the metadata, if you will, and just realize what the objective is, and that is stopping Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.  And, as a side benefit, you stop the media, temporarily.  In the real world, from the Associated Press: &#8220;Coal producer Alpha Natural Resources to cut 1,200 jobs, close mines in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_67064\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RomneyObamaPoliciesMontage.jpg\"\/><BR\/>In the real world our ambassador to Libya is dead.  In the real world there are protests against this country all over the Middle East.  In the real world Japan and China&#8230; I don\u2019t even want to think about what could happen there.  In the real world we have an administration that is incompetent and incapable of dealing with circumstances this nation faces as the world\u2019s lone superpower.  We have an administration that doesn\u2019t want that to be the case.  We have an administration that does not want this country to be that big.  This country doesn\u2019t deserve to be number one, shouldn\u2019t be number one, been number one for too long. It\u2019s been number one as a result of things that are immoral and unjust.  We\u2019ve stolen, colonialized, taken, whatever, all the resources from around the world that we like.  We\u2019ve impoverished people. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>This is the Obama view.  It\u2019s time we found out what this country has made other people live like.  It is Barack Obama who has cemented this division of haves and have-nots, with the haves getting smaller and smaller and smaller and the have-nots growing more and more and more, and they become more and more dependent; and, as such, that 47% righteously indignant, very offended, are paying attention.  They are now listening.  The <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14543\">media<\/a> is making sure, the media is making sure that they\u2019re paying attention.  The media is telling them, Romney doesn\u2019t care about you.  Here\u2019s Romney\u2019s chance to not say he cares about them.  Romney\u2019s chance to tell \u2019em how much he loves them and how much he wants for them and for this country.  It\u2019s sitting there waiting to be grabbed.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do not forget my 2010 analogy. What happened in 2010? By the way, Obama is still on the defensive. Everything Romney accuses him of, he reacts to. Guess who\u2019s having intel briefings every day now? Barack Obama! Guess who\u2019s upset about the ChiComs cheating with us on trade? Barack Obama! He\u2019s in a total reactive mood. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s a little discombobulated by what\u2019s going on in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Obama who could be made to be reeling here. <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14565\">Don\u2019t believe what the media\u2019s telling you<\/a>, folks. Do not. We have a president here who\u2019s reeling. They know they\u2019re vulnerable. They\u2019re looking at things like this video of Romney at Boca as salvation. They can\u2019t do anything but try to disqualify Romney. They\u2019ve got no way to build Obama up. They can\u2019t do it. The magic\u2019s gone. It\u2019s over, 2008. It\u2019s long gone.<\/p>\n<p>They have to take Romney out.<\/p>\n<p>Romney cannot allow himself to be taken out.<\/p>\n<p>This is a golden opportunity here to connect with people who we\u2019ve always called &#8220;low-information voters,&#8221; people who they say are not paying attention right now. Well, they now are. In 2010, what happened? Don\u2019t forget this. This is so important: 2010 was a landslide defeat for Democrats all the way down the ballot to local levels. There wasn\u2019t a Republican in sight, other than on local ballots. There wasn\u2019t a Republican philosophy anywhere in sight or a conservative philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>What was there?<\/p>\n<p><a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14539\">&#8220;We\u2019ve got to stop Obama!&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Tea Party came into existence on the whole premise of stopping Obama. That\u2019s not changed. In fact, what has happened now is that we have a candidate and we have a philosophy that that candidate can espouse to go along with, &#8220;We want to stop Obama.&#8221; I\u2019m telling you: All of these mainstream media, folks, are misdirecting your attention. They are not accurately reflecting party registration and percentages in any way, shape, manner or form. These polls right now are nowhere close to accurate.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img id=\"eZObject_67066\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/00-24_7Self585.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re designed to spirit you.<\/p>\n<p>So is this thing today. They\u2019ve been holding this. Jimmy Carter\u2019s grandkid came up with this. Do you know that? Jimmy Carter\u2019s grandson supposedly found this Romney video. Jimmy Carter\u2019s grandkid, the story goes, is supposedly angry over what conservatives have said about his grandfather, Jimmy Carter. He\u2019s so angry that he wants to get even, and he\u2019s loaded for bear. So he found this video somewhere, Jimmy Carter\u2019s grandson.<\/p>\n<p>How hard could this have been to &#8220;find&#8221;? Anyway, fine and dandy. I\u2019m just telling you: Don\u2019t forget 2010. What is this about? Stopping Barack Obama. What 2010 proved is we don\u2019t even need a perfect candidate to do it, folks. That is my point. (Hint, hint, wink, wink.) If Obama had been on the ballot in 2010, he\u2019d be gone. That was landslide. Something else Romney told those donors in Boca: Palestinians have no interest in peace. &#8220;Oh, no! You can\u2019t tell that kind of truth, either! Oh, gee. Oh, no. Panic City.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinians are not interested in peace, and the people that support the Palestinians, whoever they are in the Middle East, are not interested in peace. They\u2019re interested in victory. And that, for them, is no Israel and no Jews! That\u2019s what &#8220;peace&#8221; means to them: No Israel. That\u2019s all they care about. Romney\u2019s right, meaning there\u2019s no way to have a negotiated peace. How many thousands of years have people been trying for that, by the way? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, it\u2019s undebatable. It\u2019s inarguable.
