Tim Kaine, former DNC chairman running for Senate in Virginia, Bob Casey, Senator from Pennsylvania, House Democrat caucus chairman John Larson, those are some of the defectors from Obama on the mandate to religious institutions to provide contraception, abortion, and so forth that they don\u2019t believe in, that they have to pay for.  In addition to that, Timothy Dolan, Archbishop Dolan in New York, an initial supporter of Obama\u2019s, he\u2019s upset about it.  Rick Warren says he\u2019s ready to go to jail over all of this.  I don\u2019t know, I really don\u2019t know if the regime understood the kind of blowback. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a Washington Examiner story by Paul Bedard here:  &#8220;Birth Control Fight Threatens Democrats,&#8221; and one of Obama\u2019s advisers said, &#8220;This is not a passing problem for Obama and House and Senate Democrats. This is a permanent problem that everyone on the Democratic ballot is going to have to answer for.&#8221; Now, Obama won the Catholic vote in 2008 over McCain 54 to 45%.  And if they\u2019re gonna write off the Catholic vote now as a result of this &#8212; I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s what their intent is &#8212; but contrary to the story we had yesterday that the majority of Americans don\u2019t care about it, majority of Catholics, that is just flat-out bogus.  This is continuing to percolate out there.  It is much bigger than the regime ever planned. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_58966\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaHealthcareStatue.jpg\"\/><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: A follow-up to a story we had yesterday. It was the LifeSiteNews.com story about Romney as governor of Massachusetts in 2005 and a piece of legislation that required, as matter of course, that religious institutions violate their moral principles and make contraception and other birth control measures available to people against their wishes. Meaning a religious institution was forced. It sounded right out of Obamacare. And there was some confusion yesterday as to whether or not Romney fought that or caved in on it, whether Romney was involved in it. There were a bunch of pieces. Terry Jeffrey had a piece. <a view=\"line\" href=\"\/\/daily\/2012\/02\/09\/santorum_turns_romney_attacks_around\">Santorum<\/a> has attempted to link Romneycare and Obamacare in the same way. There are people out there saying, &#8220;Hey, you know Romneycare did the same thing! In Massachusetts the same thing happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catholic churches and other religious institutions, just like in Obamacare, were forced against their will to provide free-of-charge contraception and abortion services.&#8221; Well, here\u2019s Greg Sargent, The Plum Line. It\u2019s a blog at the Washington Post. &#8220;White House Gives Romney a Social Issues Death Hug&#8221; is the headline. Sargent\u2019s in the tank for Obama, and this is a piece on Obama\u2019s strategery in all this. Like Romneycare. Obama says his contraception policy just like Massachusetts\u2019 when Romney was governor. I\u2019m telling you, Obama is gonna use this. He\u2019s going to use Obamacare and Romney being identical as a way to denude Romney, if he\u2019s the nominee.<\/p>\n<p>A way to denude the entire health care issue. I could just see it in the debate. I know what Obama\u2019s gonna do: &#8220;Why do you want to get rid of my health care plan when it\u2019s exactly like yours that you continue to tout?&#8221; I can hear how this is gonna happen, and then Obama\u2019s gonna cite specifics like this mandate on Catholic schools, for example, and hospitals that they make abortion services available. Obama\u2019s gonna say, &#8220;You did the same thing in Massachusetts!&#8221; Greg Sargent\u2019s got it right here in his piece. There is no question whatsoever Obama\u2019s gonna do this. It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s accurate or not. All he\u2019s gotta do is make the allegation and you&#8230; (interruption) Who said it yesterday? Jay Carney? Jay Carney? You\u2019re not confusing him with the John Kerry (who served in Vietnam)? Okay, so, Jay Carney already it said. So it\u2019s already part the strategy: &#8220;Oh, well, Romney did it! I don\u2019t know what Romney is so upset about. Romney did the same thing in Massachusetts when he was governor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You know that this is coming. It\u2019s headed our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Some Catholic Democrats are bailing on Obama.
