RUSH: Let me tell you something. This is a showdown election, Sarah. There\u2019s a lot on the line here for everybody.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Walkermontage.jpg\"\/)
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Particularly the Democrats. But I\u2019ll tell you, there\u2019s also… I understand you\u2019re fed up. All these elections, it never ends, and everybody\u2019s in the state\u2019s at war with one another. Who wants that? Who wants to live at war, particularly with your fellow citizens? I know that\u2019s what you\u2019re saying. I don\u2019t blame you at all for feeling the way you do. But we all know what\u2019s on the line for the Democrats and Obama. And they know it, too. But, folks, there\u2019s another side to that.<\/p>\n
And that is: If Walker loses this thing, you can forget any other Republican governor taking on the unions. You can forget it. It\u2019s gonna be a long time before another steel-spined Republican governor comes along. Nobody in politics wants to go through this, no matter how much you believe it. This is the kind of harassment and destruction that the Democrats and the left are famous for, and they want to just wear you out. And if Walker loses this, the fallout on the Republican side is somewhat troubling.<\/p>\n
Why would another Republican governor take \u2019em on, if this is what\u2019s gonna happen?<\/p>\n
And this recall… Do you know why there\u2019s a recall election? I\u2019ll give you something else that\u2019s haunting about this. We\u2019ve spoken in the past on this program about how the left wants to criminalize policy disagreements. If you\u2019re not liberal, if you\u2019re a conservative, you\u2019re engaging in criminal activity. This recall is about nothing more than policy. Nothing more. They went out and they got signatures. “Hitler” signed; it was approved. “Daffy Duck” signed; it was approved. “Mickey Mouse” signed; it was approved.<\/p>\n
A “Peter Pan” signature was counted as a registered voter. The judge said it counts. All those signatures counted. They got enough signatures to recall Walker, and it\u2019s strictly about policy. Nothing more. It\u2019s not about malfeasance, it\u2019s not about corruption, it\u2019s not about crime. It\u2019s simply about policy disagreements. And I\u2019ll tell you: This guy Walker is one of the gutsiest, toughest, strongest, committed guys I have seen in Republican politics in a long time. He deserves to win this, and he deserves to be celebrated tremendously after this victory today.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: From WisPolitics.com. Are you ready? This is from just before noon Eastern time today. “With only about four hours into the Election Day voting, members of the Milwaukee Democratic Party claim that calls are going out to voters telling them if they\u2019d signed the recall, they didn\u2019t need to vote today. Milwaukee County Dem Chair Sachin Chheda said that Walker supporters can\u2019t get through the day without ‘cheating.\u2019 ‘This latest lowlife sleaze comes on the heels of countless reports from around the state of various Republican dirty tricks on behalf of Walker,\u2019 Chheda said in a statement.”<\/p>\n

Let me tell you what I\u2019ll bet you is going on. The Democrats know that they\u2019re down by five or six or maybe more points. The Public Policy Polling poll, which is a strictly far-left liberal agenda oriented polling outfit had Walker up by three, just outside the margin of error yesterday. If they could, these people would have published a poll with Barrett ahead of Walker, but they\u2019ve got their credibility. I\u2019m telling you this is not a three point race going in. The Democrats, you got the DOJ in there monitoring the elections, the Democrats are already talking about cheating. <\/p>\n
I can\u2019t prove it, obviously, I\u2019m not there, but this is too made to order. Republicans simply don\u2019t do this stuff. What\u2019s happening is the Democrats are probably making these phone calls. The phone calls have to be happening. Even if it\u2019s just one or two, the phone calls have to be happening for the charge to be made. Somebody\u2019s out there making prank calls so that the Democrats can level a charge and set up a protest or a recount or what have you, no matter what the margin of victory. <\/p>\n
Tammy in Madison, thank you for waiting. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Oh, I\u2019m so thrilled. This is a great honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Wisconsin.jpg\"\/)
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m not only in Madison, but I\u2019m in the belly of the beast. I go to grad school at UW, and I teach at another local college, and I\u2019m telling you, there is absolutely no compromise with these people. I hear it in every classroom, in every semester, more and more extravagant claims. If you try to debate the finer points —<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, you can\u2019t. It\u2019s not even a matter of compromise. If what I saw in that focus group last night is at all representative — and it would have to be or Luntz is not doing his job, it would have to be a representative crossover — you could hit these people between the eyes with the fact that two and two is four, and if you were told Scott Walker said it, they wouldn\u2019t believe it. There is no penetration by a fact that can get through to these people, none. If you can\u2019t even put facts on the table without them being rejected on a partisan basis, what possible compromise is there?<\/p>\n
CALLER: There actually is none. You can\u2019t carry on an intelligent debate with them. In my classroom, as a teacher, as an instructor, you can force the issue and luckily I\u2019m able to do that, but as a student, you just can\u2019t. You cannot.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, it\u2019s gotta be frustrating. As I watched this focus group last night, you know, Hannity took it over from Luntz. He said, “Well, wait a minute, now. The unemployment rate in Wisconsin is just over 6%. It\u2019s way below the 8% national average.” <\/p>\n
“No, it\u2019s not. That\u2019s just another Walker lie.” <\/p>\n
“Well, nobody has been fired. Scott Walker has not laid off anybody, none of the union claims…”<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s not true. I know people that are losing their jobs left and right.” <\/p>\n
“Scott Walker, the taxes, everything he said he was gonna do…”<\/p>\n
“He doesn\u2019t care about us. Scott Walker doesn\u2019t care about us. All of this is a bunch of lies.”<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t matter what the facts were. It did not matter. It didn\u2019t exist. It wasn\u2019t true. It was all trickinology. I\u2019ve seen it before, folks. This is not the first time I\u2019ve ever seen this. I know I sound incredulous. I encounter it quite often. But it was concentrated, and in this setting, and the presentation of fact was rat-tat-tat-tat. And all the facts were true. I live in Realville. I\u2019m not interested in lies. I\u2019m not interested in things that are not right. These people couldn\u2019t-a cared less. They have an entirely different motivation. Being right, factual, is irrelevant to them. All that matters is the triumph of their ideology. But here\u2019s a guy, Scott Walker, who\u2019s being recalled for one reason. He\u2019s doing what he said he was gonna do. It\u2019s a policy recall. He ran for office, he got elected on a specific agenda, and he has implemented it. And now the Democrats are trying to recall him for it. If this kind of stuff ever gets hold, elections are gonna be meaningless. Elections are just gonna become another poll. Tammy, I appreciate the call. <\/p>\n
Scott, also in Madison, Wisconsin. Great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. Gun-toting, meat eating, truck driving dittos, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, the people that Mr. Luntz had on last night were not a cross-section of Wisconsin. They were a cross-section maybe of Madison. But the fuzzy headed, moon bat, Mother Fool\u2019s coffee drinking liberals that hang out on Willy Street and Monroe Street were not there. Nobody started screaming. Nobody started throwing anything. Nobody started yelling “liar.” Nobody chained their head to the railing.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/walker-9_large.jpg\"\/)
CALLER: No, if they were conservative they were probably sitting there with their hands in their lap.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, even the conservatives seemed afraid to say anything, and those that did, you\u2019re right, the cameras being present, I think, stopped any violence or any things being thrown or things like that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, that doesn\u2019t stop the liberals. What it does is stop the conservatives from, you know, even be putting up yard signs. We just don\u2019t do it. I mean I figure for every Barrett sign there is, every empty yard, there\u2019s gotta be at least one Walker sign that\u2019s not up because we\u2019re afraid to. But no, every bit of union thuggery and union hackery that could possibly be had is happening here. And someone comes up and says, “Oh, yeah, we\u2019re gonna help the vote in ‘Wesconsin.'” I\u2019m like, “Really?” “Oh, yeah, we\u2019re from, you know, ‘Monoma.'” “Oh, you mean Monona?” You know, they\u2019re not even pronouncing things right, like Oconomowoc, Mequon, Waukesha, and Racine. You know, when they can\u2019t even pronounce Wisconsin or any of our cities right, you just know none of \u2019em are from here and they\u2019re all brought in.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I know, and that\u2019s been the case since this whole recall effort began. But that\u2019s interesting. If what we saw last night were the polite, calm, reserved, it\u2019s worse than even I thought. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
