As was evidenced in Wisconsin, Americans are not afraid of union goons. They\u2019re not impressed with a &#8220;slow-jamming&#8221; Preezy. They aren\u2019t intimidated by the media anymore. From reconfirming the meaning of marriage, to showing support for a great Wisconsin governor, to humiliating a sitting Democrat president with a huge turnout for a convicted felon, voters demonstrated that the power attributed to Barack Obama and the State-Controlled Media has been overestimated.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional wisdom was nuked yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62239\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushReestablishConserve585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Tea Party dead and Occupy Wall Street in the ascension? Obama a shoo-in reelection? In fact, the Beltway Republicans, the Republican establishment, still think Obama is a shoo-in! They really do. I kid you not. They think&#8230; Maybe not a shoo-in now, but before yesterday, &#8220;Ah, Rush, don\u2019t get your hopes up. He\u2019s an incumbent. He\u2019s got so much at his disposal,&#8221; and that could well be. But the people don\u2019t want to hear that.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The people of this country are not going to allow themselves to be dispirited with phony polls and inaccurate reporting. They\u2019re not gonna be influenced by photo-ops with George Clooney. Being $5 trillion in debt &#8212; new debt, given to us by Obama &#8212; trumps photo-ops with George Clooney. Years of 8.5% plus unemployment trumps the Preezy slow-jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n<p>Out-of-work college graduates are snapping out of their hope and change trance, and they realize all they\u2019re getting is insurmountable student loan debt, not jobs. Voters are continuing to tune out the Drive-By Media in greater numbers. They\u2019re tuning in talk radio, the Internet, Fox News. The people of this country know what\u2019s at stake. They know failure when they see it. They know disaster when they see it. And they know how to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>And they fully intend to.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62245\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushDittocamSTOPObamaism.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Last night was a significant aftershock of the 2010 electoral earthquake that rocked the Democrat Party. The Tea Party\u2019s not dead. No, 2010 was a warm-up. The Tea Party\u2019s moved on from a protest movement to an active, vibrant, grassroots movement that knows how to nominate the right people and then get them elected &#8212; and that is sending shivers of fear down the spines of professional Democrats, consultants, elected officials, and people in the media.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Democrats are voting against President Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are distancing themselves from failure.<\/p>\n<p>The cult of personality, the cult of celebrity that this White House has attempted to mine is being overwhelmed by the sting of reality. People\u2019s homes having no value. People\u2019s jobs are paying nothing. People are not able to get jobs. No economic growth. Moratoriums on drilling for oil. Roadblocks on pipelines that would bring oil, which would cheapen energy prices. Attacks on existing, conventional energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>The American people want no part of it.<\/p>\n<p>The American people don\u2019t hate fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama might, but the American people don\u2019t, and he has not been able to convince them to. The American people are not going to settle for 8.1% unemployment. The American people aren\u2019t going to settle for 7% unemployment. Vast majorities of the American people understand the greatness of this country. Vast majorities of the American people understand (and listen to me carefully here) that when this nation is on the right track, there\u2019s none better.<\/p>\n<p>When this nation is on the right track, there\u2019s no end to opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>When this nation is on the right track, there\u2019s no end to prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Our economic and educational opportunity is better than anywhere in the world. But this country isn\u2019t on track, and the American people know it, and they want it back on track. They don\u2019t want this new direction. They don\u2019t want this fundamental transformation of America. They don\u2019t want a silly, impossible socialist utopia. They want reality. They want an acknowledgement of the greatness of this country, not somebody who\u2019s embarrassed of it, or who doesn\u2019t like it, or thinks it\u2019s immoral or unjust.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62241\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-serfdom.jpg\"\/><BR\/>The American people, in vast majorities, are very, very angry to hear their country described this way. They\u2019re very angry to sense that a Democrat Party looks at this country as unjust and immoral. They are sick and tired of phony race stories, from the Duke lacrosse case to Trayvon Martin. They are sick and tired of being lied to in the media. They are sick and tired of big things, medium-sized things, and small things.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want to be told that a snail darter is more important than they are. They don\u2019t want to be told that they can\u2019t buy light bulbs that they\u2019ve always bought. They don\u2019t want to be told they\u2019re destroying the planet when they know they\u2019re not, when they know that\u2019s a hoax. They don\u2019t want to be forced to have to buy $50 light bulbs. They\u2019re sick and tired of being told they can\u2019t have salt or trans fat in their foods.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t think that dietary decisions ought to come from a garden in the Oval Office. They don\u2019t think a woman who has had no experience in the food business should have any business telling any of us what we should or shouldn\u2019t eat, particularly when they see her husband chowing down on stuff she disapproves of when she\u2019s not around! The American people do not want Obamacare, and that\u2019s been the case since before it was signed into law.<\/p>\n<p>The American people don\u2019t want Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t hate fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t hate oil.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t hate big CEOs and executives.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to punish success.<\/p>\n<p>We want to emulate it!<\/p>\n<p>We want success for as many as people as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sick and tired of elected officials at the highest levels trying to divide the people of this country, particularly along racial lines. I think the American people, in significant majorities, are sick and tired of every effort the Democrat Party makes to divide this country. Be it on racial lines, sexual-orientation lines or gender lines: You name it, they\u2019ve had it. (New Castrati impression) &#8220;But, Mr. Limbaugh, if you think that, then whey do they send people like Dick Lugar packing? Dick <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img id=\"eZObject_62240\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushJoinRush247.jpg\"\/><\/a>Lugar was all about compromise!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, Dick Lugar was not &#8220;all about compromise.&#8221; Dick Lugar was all about letting Democrats win! Republican voters are sick of Republicans letting Democrats win under the guise that this is how compromise takes place or this is how we get along. The people of this country do not hate people who create jobs. They actually like people that create jobs! They want to know people who create jobs. Many Americans actually want to work for people who create jobs.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d rather work for somebody who creates a job than somebody who doesn\u2019t, \u2019cause there isn\u2019t a job in that circumstance. Look at the support Scott Walker\u2019s getting in Wisconsin. After a tsunami of national union money into that state. After threats. After the conventional wisdom from the media said that Walker was dead. The polls all said Walker\u2019s finished, that he doesn\u2019t have chance, that Democrats are taking the state back.<\/p>\n<p>Look at the voter turnout in Wisconsin! Walker, who didn\u2019t need a single vote for anything last night, got more votes than the two Democrats combined in Wisconsin. Are you kidding me? I mean, that says it all, or at least so much. We have some sound bites, some media assessments: &#8220;Why did <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15744\">Dick Lugar<\/a> actually lose? What really went on?&#8221; And, yes, I\u2019m continually being hounded here to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3429\">my unique and not-found-anywhere-else thoughts<\/a> on Mrs. Clinton\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause after all, I\u2019m the one&#8230; See, people remember. I\u2019m the one who asked some years ago in the 2008 presidential campaign: Do the American people want to watch the aging process in the Oval Office? And some people think that what\u2019s happening now is a referendum on that question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Americans, ladies and gentlemen, are taking their country back &#8212; and they\u2019re doing it one election at a time.
