Our problem is that Republicans will not use it.  You know, we got Republicans, media, conservatives, you name it, that are trying to kill Republicans, in a political sense.  We\u2019ve got people saying horrible things about Gingrich, horrible things about Romney, horrible things about Bachmann.  Nobody will say one horrible thing about Obama.  We\u2019re like a circular firing squad.  I know it\u2019s politics, but what about the other guy?  What about the real enemy here?  Why does the real enemy get a pass? <\/p>\n<p>There was an analysis released last week that showed that 45% of all political ads in Iowa were <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16979\">negative commercials aimed at Gingrich<\/a>, and they worked.  Gingrich was once leading. Do you remember, he had this big surge.  Gingrich was up in <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16978\">Iowa<\/a>.  He was up everywhere.  He was up nationally.  And a never-ending barrage.  And you could say that Romney\u2019s PAC has taken Newt out.  It worked.  Negative ads work.  You define your opponent.  Newt had not defined himself, or at least not sufficiently so to ward off the attacks.  So now he\u2019s going after Romney big time.  He\u2019s calling Romney a liar. The media can\u2019t believe this is happening, but he\u2019s doing it. <\/p>\n<p><a view=\"full\" href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/politics\/2011\/12\/nearly-half-of-iowa-ads-were-negative-anti-gingrich\/\"><img id=\"eZObject_57685\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaAbcNewsPollAntiGingrich.jpg\"\/><\/a>You have to define your opponent, and you have to define yourself.  And principle, of course, is the easiest way to define yourself.  But the Republicans seem to be great at doing this to each other, but they\u2019re always afraid to do it to the Democrat nominee.  For some reason we\u2019re not worried about ticking off the independents in our primary.  Have you noticed this?  We can go out there, we can say the most horrible things about our own people, we\u2019re not worried the independents aren\u2019t gonna like it.  You get into the general election, &#8220;Oh, we can\u2019t criticize Obama, oh, no, the independents are gonna be running right back to the Democrats.&#8221;  What a bunch of hooey.  Got ourselves in a straitjacket. <\/p>\n<p>We had a call, I went back and I looked at this, transcript of this program, we had a <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16988\">Santorum <\/a>supporter on the program on December 9th.  That\u2019s what I said to the Santorum supporter.  I think that it\u2019s still possible for Bachmann and Santorum because I think what\u2019s happening out there, everybody in this mix thinks, you can read it, you can sense it, everybody in this mix senses Newt is going to implode.  And remember early December, this is what the conventional wisdom of Newt was.  And by imploding, what is meant by that, he\u2019s gonna do a commercial with Pelosi on the couch for global warming, something like that.  He always does stuff like that.  Out of the blue when nobody\u2019s expecting it.  And everybody was thinking that one of the problems with Newt is he has this tendency to do things like this. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>The other candidates, they all were of the opinion, and they were saying that Newt, just give him a little rope, just give him a little space, that he will implode, that he\u2019s one of these guys that can\u2019t stand prosperity.  A lot of people think Newt is just gonna do or say something that causes an implosion to one degree or another, and they all figure Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, this is why they were hanging around.  This is my point to the Santorum supporters.  Somebody called, &#8220;Why isn\u2019t Santorum taking off?&#8221;  I had a bunch of those calls in December and leading up to Christmas, the break.  &#8220;Why isn\u2019t Santorum taking off?&#8221;  I said they\u2019re all lurking: Santorum, Perry, Bachmann. December 9th I said it to a Santorum supporter, they\u2019re lurking, they\u2019re waiting, \u2019cause they figure that Newt is gonna implode or that something\u2019s gonna happen to the front-runner because it always does and that\u2019s why they\u2019re working and lurking out there.  They all figure they\u2019re gonna be the ones left standing for conservatives to flock to if that happens.  <\/line><BR\/>Newt was getting the conservative vote in the polls.  There weren\u2019t any votes cast of course.  But now Newt\u2019s down 45%.  Well, not down 45%, but 45% of all political ads were negative spots directed at Newt, and he\u2019s gone from leading the race to third place in the polling data.  And that\u2019s one of the reasons that they are staying in the race.  And I essentially, on December 9th, told the Santorum supporter that he could win because he would be the last man standing.  And I also predicted this coalescing that would take place among the last viable conservatives to go against Romney because I guarantee you that the Tea Party side and on the conservative side, nobody is yet willing to cede this to Romney.  This is just the beginning today, folks.  This isn\u2019t over.  Nothing\u2019s over after the <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16989\">Hawkeye Cauci<\/a> tonight.  It\u2019s just the beginning. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So I see all this stuff here about Obama has got a year to define himself, he\u2019s been defined.  He\u2019s a Marxist socialist.  I know, Republicans are saying, &#8220;Don\u2019t call him that, Rush, no, no, no, don\u2019t, don\u2019t, don\u2019t, don\u2019t call him that.&#8221; We can call Newt that, and we can call anybody else on our side, we call \u2019em all kinds of names, but we can\u2019t call Obama, no, we can\u2019t, because the independents aren\u2019t gonna like it.  So we hamstring ourselves.  Anyway my whole point here is that you have to define yourself and you have to define your opponent.  And the media of course knows this. The media\u2019s trying to pick our nominee.  They do it every four years and they pick somebody they think can be beat.  They pick somebody that they think is going to lose.  Some people get caught up, &#8220;Hey, the media likes this guy, maybe &#8211;&#8221; No.  That\u2019s the death knell.  You don\u2019t want somebody on our side that the media likes. <\/p>\n<p>Now, the Obama campaign, this Jim Messina guy, he\u2019s saying there\u2019s a lot of myths out there. He said we\u2019re not gonna have a billion dollars in this campaign.  We\u2019re not going to raise that much.  That\u2019s also been conventional wisdom, that the Obama campaign is gonna have a billion dollars.  Now the campaign is saying they\u2019re not even gonna get close. (interruption) I know, they\u2019re the ones that said they\u2019re gonna raise a billion.  Now they\u2019re saying that they\u2019re not gonna raise a billion.  I don\u2019t know which to believe, but they\u2019re out there saying it.  I\u2019ve got it here in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3420\">Stack of Stuff.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Elizabeth in St. Louis.  Great to have you on the EIB Network.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi there.  Happy New Year, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Same to you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I was calling because when you were talking about Newt and how you predicted on December 9th that he would implode, I remember that show, I remember you saying that, and for me, it happened. I\u2019m not sure when Newt actually said this, but I swear it was &#8212; you know, the second day he was up in the polls, he said, (paraphrasing) &#8220;Well, clearly I am going to be the nominee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8220;I think it\u2019s clear to everybody.&#8221;  And the minute I heard him say that, I thought, &#8220;Oh, my gosh, you have just jinxed it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, I remember that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That was the beginning, to me, of the implosion.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.  That\u2019s a good point.  Let me say, I know Newt.  Let me tell you what Newt was doing there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Uh-huh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Newt was simply trying to instill confidence in his supporters. He was trying to be positive.  It comes across in a way he doesn\u2019t intend.  This is the blind spot or however you want to characterize it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But going out and saying &#8212; I\u2019ll tell you a little story.  This goes back over a year.  I had breakfast with Newt and some other people before he announced, but he told us he was gonna announce.  And he said, (paraphrasing) &#8220;Oh, yeah, here\u2019s how I\u2019m gonna win. This thing is gonna be over about a week after I announce \u2019cause everybody\u2019s gonna realize that once I get going they don\u2019t have a prayer.  I\u2019m gonna take Romney out this way, I\u2019m gonna do this, I\u2019m gonna do that. One real obstacle &#8211;&#8221; I forget what he said it\u2019s gonna be, &#8220;&#8211; and I\u2019ll take care of that.&#8221; In about 20 minutes he told us all how he was gonna be the nominee.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57691\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Romney.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Yeah.  Well, you know, I take your word for it because I just cringed when he said it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I\u2019ve got no reason to make that up.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Of course not.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Or anything else, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8212; what he was doing, a lot of people mistook this for arrogant ego out of control.  That\u2019s really not what it is with him, at least in this instance, saying, &#8220;Okay, I\u2019m the nominee.&#8221;  He\u2019s trying to be positive. He\u2019s trying to be certain. He\u2019s trying to give people something to latch onto.  He doesn\u2019t want to be squishy, squiggly, uncertain, unsure.  This is how he chooses to do it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.  I have one other comment about Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I think my biggest takeaway from the caucus process &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; is that Obama\u2019s not gonna win Iowa.  He\u2019s not gonna win that state.  Iowa is not gonna go for him again.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You mean in the caucuses?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No.  In the election.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I was gonna say, he\u2019s unopposed in the caucus.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Obama is not going to take the state of Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  There are a lot of states that Obama won in \u201908 that he\u2019s not gonna win, and they know it.  There are a lot of \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I think you\u2019re right about Iowa.  Look, I don\u2019t want to pull a Newt here and predict a 49-state landslide for whoever the Republican is, but in a sane world this guy wouldn\u2019t even be running for reelection, the Democrats would have found somebody else and a polite way to get rid of him.  He\u2019s destroying the country and the party, in a sane world.  The problem is the Democrat Party is not sane.  The Democrat Party has gone off the cliff extremist liberal, and Obama is their dream candidate. This is not Lyndon Johnson\u2019s Democrat Party.  It is not John Kennedy\u2019s Democrat Party.  I mean it\u2019s not even Woodrow Wilson\u2019s party.  And that\u2019s saying something.  This is more like Anastas Mikoyan\u2019s party. <\/p>\n<p>But in a sane world somebody who\u2019s done this, somebody whose policies have done this, look at the value of people\u2019s homes, their jobs, the debt, people\u2019s queasiness over the future.  For the first time parents really think their kids are not going to do as well as their parents have done.  Parents are looking to the future and seeing their kids not leaving home until they\u2019re 35 or 40.  In a sane political world where you had a media that just two days of the week was fair, just two days a week, with the proper reporting, analysis, and perspective of this country vis-a-vis the policies of this administration wouldn\u2019t have a prayer, wouldn\u2019t have a chance.  In the real world, in a sane world &#8212; we don\u2019t live in one right now.  There\u2019s nothing sane about the American political system. There\u2019s nothing sane about the media and its reporting of these things, as we all know. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m 60.  There hasn\u2019t been this kind of destruction of our nation and its fabric in my lifetime.  The closest is Jimmy Carter, and Jimmy Carter was swept out in a 49-state landslide.  In a sane world.  But nobody knew that that was gonna happen \u2019til Election Day.  The polls never indicated a 49-state landslide.  They never did.  It\u2019s why I\u2019m constantly imploring people to work hard and not get caught up in the daily conventional wisdom of the media.  The daily reporting, the way the table is set every day, the stories that are focused on, talked about, reported on, discussed, none of it\u2019s real.  The real world doesn\u2019t get reported on.  The thinking of real Americans does not get reflected until they vote.  And you wait.  You just wait.  I don\u2019t mean the Hawkeye Cauci.  Then it\u2019s a tantrum, a bunch of immature kids, children had a tantrum, so forth and so on.  Peter Jennings, that\u2019s how he described the House victory in 1994, exactly right.  A tantrum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Just to repeat now, speaking of defining, you know, we got some lib on the Chris Matthews Show yesterday, David Ignatius, (paraphrasing) &#8220;Yeah, Obama, he\u2019s got a year to define himself.&#8221; He\u2019s defined.
