RUSH: One of the things we heard last night, we had a lot of governors at our convention<\/a> last night make really great speeches. Scott Walker, Wisconsin, Bob McDonnell, Virginia, and Christie. You know, Nikki Haley, we don\u2019t have any sound bites from Nikki Haley, but she was awesome. She was awesome and she took it to Obama, too. And as I said earlier, MSNBC did cover her because they didn\u2019t realize she\u2019s a minority. They thought she was just a babe that had a good tan. Didn\u2019t realize that she was Indian in her heritage. But every one of these governors told the stories of economic revival. <\/p>\n

Nikki Haley was the only person I heard last night mention illegal immigration<\/a>. I must confess, it\u2019s another reason I was a little less than satisfied. I think that\u2019s a winning issue for us. I don\u2019t know why it wasn\u2019t mentioned. But she mentioned it. Of course, it wasn\u2019t in primetime. Kasich <\/a>told great stories, too. So all these governors, but she specifically talked about the problems they are having in South Carolina with illegal immigration. And what does she do? The federal government will not enforce the law. They have to do it themselves. Then Obama sues them. I thought this is great. Because how many people in this country don\u2019t know that Barack Obama is suing individual states because he\u2019s not enforcing the law? Arizona, South Carolina. How many people need to know? The president of the US is suing states. The National Labor Relations Board telling Boeing, “You can\u2019t build a plant in South Carolina because it\u2019s a right-to-work state.” She did all that. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s my point about this, folks. Each Republican governor addressed the convention with specific details showing how they turn their states\u2019 deficits into surpluses without raising taxes. Every one of them, Nikki Haley, Kasich, McDonnell, Christie, Scott Walker, they all did it, they raised employment, they turned state deficits into surpluses, and they did it without raising taxes. And so I\u2019m asking myself, “Well, where are the accompanying stories, then, of starving kids and garbage pileups and bridges collapsing and schools, businesses crumbling?” Because isn\u2019t this what we\u2019re told by the Democrats? “We gotta raise taxes, infrastructure\u2019s falling apart, we gotta raise taxes on the rich.” <\/p>\n

You hear all these Republican governors with overwhelmingly profound success stories. The states are in fabulous shape, cutting taxes, or at least not raising them. I just thought it\u2019s an interesting point. I\u2019m going to tell you one thing positive about this convention last night: We have got a great bench. We have got some really, really top flight people out there who are building up fabulous records, in addition to their communications abilities, skills, and so forth. It\u2019s a positive. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: How many Democrat mayors, how many Democrat governors will be able to show up at the Democrat convention next who\u2019ve cut taxes and increased employment? Zip, zero, nada. How many Democrat governors or mayors will show up with positive stories to tell about their governance and their states and communities? Zip, zero, nada. I almost wish that Nikki Haley and Walker and these guys had been primetime last night. Those were just great. Kasich was wired. Nikki Haley was really, really, really good. We ought to get some sound bites from her speech since I\u2019m talking about this stuff now.<\/p>\n

Maybe we\u2019ll do that tomorrow because time is vanishing for the busy broadcast today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
