RUSH: Fox today discussing a point that I made earlier in the week. The guests are Dick Morris and Kirsten Powers. The fill-in host today was Clayton Morris, and Clayton Morris said to Dick Morris, “There\u2019s some interesting questions being raised by Rush Limbaugh the other day as to whether or not Romney can break through and connect with voters because of all the handouts, all the entitlements. Maybe you\u2019re creating a bit of a safety net for people. They\u2019re not really feeling the economy as badly. There really isn\u2019t that much suffering out there, Dick. Does Rush have a point, Dick?”<\/p>\n

MORRIS: I think that he\u2019s not completely right. Certainly it\u2019s a factor. In 1980, 30% of all Americans got a check from the government. Now it\u2019s 49% that do. Actually, when Obama took office, it was 44. So this isn\u2019t entirely his doing. But, come on, they tend to be relatively small checks, and, you know, our media-driven society, people always want to have decent lives and move on, and I don\u2019t think that people are content with the entitlements. But certainly it makes it politically harder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Now, this is, to me, the interesting thing about this. The checks are not insignificantly small. The checks are sufficient that you can survive with comfort without working, because there\u2019s all kinds of checks, and then there are food stamps. You have your unemployment compensation check. Then you have disability after that. Maybe at the same time. Then you have food stamps. And who knows whatever else you can latch onto. So I think it does and has created a different dynamic. I\u2019m not saying you don\u2019t campaign on the economy. I\u2019m simply saying the traditional assumptions that 8% unemployment equals a guaranteed victory for the challenger is not the case. It\u2019s all I\u2019m saying. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard that stat, no president\u2019s been reelected with the unemployment rate above 7.9% or something. I think that\u2019s probably out the window is all I\u2019m saying. The tradition has been dealt a little bit of a blow. Sure, it still matters. I\u2019m just saying there\u2019s a different way to go about campaigning on the economy than simply assuming that when you tell people the economy\u2019s bad, which they already know, and that you\u2019re gonna fix it. They\u2019re gonna have to go after Obama. Obama is gonna have to be gone after the same way Romney went after Newt. The same way he went after Rick Santorum. That\u2019s what\u2019s called for here, as far as I\u2019m concerned. <\/p>\n

But don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying the economy is not a factor; it\u2019s just different. And by the way, 44% get a government check when Obama sits down in the Oval Office; 49% today and growing. That is significant, too. Because we\u2019re approaching 50% here. You combine that with people that aren\u2019t paying any income taxes… By the way, did you see this, the CBO, the Tax Foundation says this every year and a couple other tax organizations, but the nonpartisan precious and beloved Congressional Budget Office yesterday said that the rich are paying more than their fair share in taxes. And as they define the rich, they said the rich are paying 70% of the tax burden, which is true, by the way. It just the CBO\u2019s never said it like this. The rich are paying more than their fair share. It didn\u2019t get a whole lot of coverage. It\u2019s out there in, quote, unquote, right wing newspapers, but it\u2019s out there. <\/p>\n

So, anyway, Clayton Morris then said to Dick Morris, “Can\u2019t you argue that Rush is right to a certain extent, because how else can you explain Obama neck and neck in the polls with Romney with these kinds of unemployment numbers?”<\/p>\n

MORRIS: Because they\u2019re counting a lot of people that don\u2019t vote. We\u2019ve been through that. That\u2019s a demographic that Obama\u2019s clobbering Romney in, people that don\u2019t vote. But if you look at people that do vote, who tend to be a majority of people that don\u2019t get the entitlements, Romney, I think, has a nice lead now.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Dick thinks it\u2019s gonna be a landslide. I\u2019ve heard him say it, he\u2019s written it, and he\u2019s trying to not sound overly confident here. But he thinks that this is gonna be a landslide, like I do. But yesterday afternoon after the program, I did an interview for the next issue of The Limbaugh Letter, spoke with Artur Davis, the former Democrat congressman from Alabama, who is conservative. He\u2019s African-American, and I asked him about all this polling stuff. His theory on the polling — I\u2019ll just throw it out there; and I\u2019m not gonna give away the whole interview, not gonna cannibalize the whole interview, but it was fascinating. <\/p>\n

He said most polling — I didn\u2019t know this because I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been polled; if I have, I don\u2019t remember it, and if I were, I woulda lied — he said most polling takes place between 5:30 and 7 p.m. Now, he would know. He was a member of Congress. He\u2019s not any longer. He\u2019s moved to Virginia. He said between 5:30 and 7 p.m. entrepreneurs aren\u2019t home answering the phone. They\u2019re working, particularly in bad economic times like this. So his theory is somewhat similar to Dick Morris,\u2019 and that is the people who are answering the phone when these pollsters call are not the ones that you really want to talk to if you\u2019re a pollster. Well, depending on what you want with your poll, they could be the ones you want to talk to. But his point was that entrepreneurs and people who are making the country work are not at home to answer a pollster\u2019s call, on average, between 5:30 and 7 p.m. Now, they next went to Kirsten Powers at the Fox & Friends show today and asked her what she thought. “Kirsten, it\u2019s not just the economy. Is Rush right?”<\/p>\n

POWERS: No, Rush is exactly right. You can\u2019t just say, oh, because the economy is doing badly, you know, therefore Obama will lose. And the polls bear that out. You look at the polls and you think, the economy\u2019s doing so badly, it hasn\u2019t turned around the way that it was expected to turn around or even promised to turn around, and yet he\u2019s neck and neck with Romney. He does have an advantage being an incumbent, obviously, but Romney\u2019s gonna have to do something more to break through. The debates are really, I think, gonna show us what\u2019s gonna happen. I think we\u2019ll see one way or the other after the debate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was Kirsten Powers. That was Fox & Friends this morning.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned the precious, beloved, nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office a moment ago. Here are the details. They looked at tax returns from 2007, 2008, 2009. And they found that the bottom 20% of American income earners paid just three-tenths of 1% of the total tax burden. The bottom 20% of earners paid just three-tenths of 1% of the total tax burden. The richest 20% paid 67.9%. We\u2019ll round that up to 70% for the fun of it. The top 20% are paying 70%; the bottom 20% are paying or three-tenths of 1%. That\u2019s 2009. That\u2019s before Obama was immaculated into office.<\/p>\n

I also mentioned Carville and Greenberg and the Democrat polling unit that they run. And remember, earlier this year, Carville went out there with a warning. He told Obama, “Don\u2019t run out there and talk about how great this recovery is. It ain\u2019t gonna work because people aren\u2019t feeling it; they\u2019re not living it. Don\u2019t talk about it.” Now they\u2019ve done a 180 and they\u2019re saying, “What you need to focus on is, class warfare.” Here\u2019s Greenberg first. It was on CNN\u2019s Starting Point this morning with the hostette, Soledad O\u2019Brien, who said, “Stan, you say social mobility and looking at other nations\u2019 social mobility, that\u2019s really the key here, right?”<\/p>\n

GREENBERG: It\u2019s a wake-up call, because it… When we did in \u201992, “It\u2019s the Economy, Stupid,” you know, we didn\u2019t realize — and President Clinton didn\u2019t realize — that this was gonna be a three decade phenomena, that America really had changed. We thought we\u2019d… You know, we\u2019d come back from that. Then we did in the nineties, we\u2019re good. But we have three decades of income decline. Struggle, struggle, struggle. Jobs being exported. The country in debt. People in debt. And people are in pain out there. But they know it\u2019s a long-term problem. So they want to see long-term solutions.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: So Greenberg is saying, “Twenty years ago we were saying, ‘It\u2019s the economy, Stupid.'” And they said, “No, no! It\u2019s not that anymore.” He\u2019s essentially saying what I said. You can\u2019t win an election saying, “It\u2019s the economy, Stupid.” That\u2019s over. That\u2019s gone. So then they turned to Carville. Soledad O\u2019Brien said, “In the book you say ‘income is now destiny.\u2019 What do you mean by that?”<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: You know what? In America, if you work hard, and you do what you [are] supposed to do and you play by the rules, you\u2019re gonna have a good life. You\u2019re gonna be able to buy a car. You\u2019ll be able to educate your children. But you gotta work hard. Ah, you still can do it, but it\u2019s a little harder than it used to be. And we don\u2019t have the mobility that we used to have. And when you don\u2019t have that, when you don\u2019t have that, and the middle class is shrinking, then — and — and — and incomes are going up only at one level and not another level. Then there\u2019s something else other than the country that you want to be. You\u2019re losing something that is central to what it is to be the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What he\u2019s advocated… The middle class shrinking. It isn\u2019t upwardly mobile. It isn\u2019t happening. So he\u2019s advising the Democrats that class warfare has replaced economic growth as the issue they can win on. That\u2019s what he\u2019s saying. I\u2019m not saying I agree with him. I\u2019m just telling you they\u2019ve done a 180. It\u2019s not the economy. Now, also, we must factor that they think they own “It\u2019s the economy, Stupid,” and they don\u2019t want that working for anybody else. Just for the sake of their resumes and reputations.<\/p>\n

And I also believe that Carville and Greenberg would love to divert people off into a direction that is not really the direction they ought to go, meaning us. I think, for example, they would love for us to stop talking about the economy after having tried to convince us (impression), “It ain\u2019t gonna win for y\u2019all. It ain\u2019t gonna win for y\u2019all anymore. You need to give it up \u2019cause it won\u2019t work.” I think there\u2019s a lot of fakery going on here.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not suggesting we drop the economy as an issue. I\u2019m just saying it\u2019s not an automatic. It has to be approached in a different way. Of course, it\u2019s real. Of course, it\u2019s devastating. Of course! And that\u2019s the problem. America\u2019s being transformed in ways that nobody wants. America\u2019s being torn apart. That\u2019s what this economy means. We\u2019re in the midst of a transformation that is gonna grow government like it\u2019s never grown before, and we never get that back.<\/p>\n

So please don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying abandon it.<\/p>\n

These guys want us to abandon it. They also want Obama and the Democrats to really focus on class warfare. But they also would love for Republicans… By the way, you have to admit that the Democrats have been very successful in intimidating Republicans. For example, this whole notion, “Don\u2019t criticize Obama! The independents don\u2019t like that.” Look at how many of our consultants believe that garbage. Look at how many Republican consultants fell for that.<\/p>\n

“You don\u2019t want to be critical of the president. You really don\u2019t want to be critical of Obama or any Democrat. The independents don\u2019t like that. They want compromise, ‘Can\u2019t we all get along?\u2019 And all of that rotgut.” It\u2019s a trick to get us to stop criticizing Obama, and our people have fallen for it, and I think there\u2019s another trick going on here. Because any poll… Any poll… I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a poll that shows Obama up by six like Reuters does, which is a crock. Even that poll shows Obama losing big way down with the public on the economy.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they\u2019d like to paper over. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
