RUSH: It\u2019s like clockwork. It\u2019s becoming predictable. I don\u2019t care who it is, a Republican presidential candidate breaks out of the pack, gets close to Romney — or even surpasses Romney in polling data in certain states — and the Republican establishment goes after him. Today there is a coordinated — well, I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s coordinated, but it sure appears to be. Regardless, no matter where you look in the Republican establishment media today, there looks to be a coordinated attack on Mr. Newt. I\u2019m not gonna mention any names because you know when I do, all I do is elevate these people and the names don\u2019t matter here.<\/p>\n
But now pretty much everything I talk about is gonna get a wider berth than it already has, which is one of the reasons why I have this ban on MSNBC. Why should I give them a bigger audience than they can attract on their own, for example? You see what I\u2019m talking about here? (interruption) What were you gonna say? I know. Exactly right. There are people who try to trick me into talking about them, hoping I\u2019ll talk about \u2019em to put \u2019em on the map. Exactly right, Snerdley. Very perceptive on your part. So I\u2019m just gonna tell you, there are — count \u2019em, one, two, three, four — there are five, not counting whatever\u2019s happened on television, there are five hit pieces on Newt Gingrich today that come from Republican establishment conservative media. It\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n

I am convinced the more I read and the more I read between the lines, these people I\u2019m talking about don\u2019t seem all that confident Obama can be beat, but they do think that Romney can help the Republicans pick up Senate seats and hold the House. I didn\u2019t think holding the House was in question here, but some of these people think that it is. Now, of course your goal and my goal is much different than this. We want the White House. We want to dispatch Obama. We look at this list of Republican nominees and we take any of them over Obama. So while you and I may have problems with each candidate, some of them more so than others, we still take every one of them. Whoever wins this we\u2019re gonna support them.<\/p>\n
Now, actually that\u2019s not true. There\u2019s some rock-ribbed conservatives who may, if the wrong candidate\u2019s nominated here, sit out, but you are different than the people I\u2019m talking about. These people, we\u2019re not even talking about ideology with conservative versus liberal or Republican versus Democrat. This is strictly inside-the-Beltway political machinations that are going on here that are the determining factor. So it\u2019s just interesting to categorize it.<\/p>\n
I said yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine, he sent me a note and he was all bent out of shape about this. This friend of mine, he tunes in or reads a lot of conservative blogs and websites, he\u2019s pulling his hair out, “I thought these people were conservative?” I said, “You are misunderstanding something. There is not a conservative movement in the media.” And there really isn\u2019t. The conservative movement, and I mean this from bottom of my large beating heart — ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom — the conservative movement is made up of me, talk radio, the Tea Party and the American people who are conservative. But a conservative movement made up of movement media people, there hasn\u2019t been that since Mr. Buckley passed away. I really don\u2019t believe so.<\/p>\n
So you look at today in these pieces, and they run the gamut, one piece talks about all of Newt\u2019s baggage that you have forgotten or that you don\u2019t any longer care about but that these professional media people, it\u2019s their business, they haven\u2019t forgotten and they have to remember it and it will be a disaster if he wins, and it will be a disaster if he wins the White House, it will be a disaster for everybody. I\u2019m thinking, “Ehhh, versus Obama?” Which is really what it cuts down to. I\u2019d rather have Newt in there than Obama. I\u2019d rather have Romney in there than Obama. I would rather have Ron Paul in there than Obama. I would rather have any of these people in there than Obama. What are we talking about? Do we want to become Europe? You know, the only reason Europe\u2019s being propped up, folks, and that is an entirely interesting story in and of itself what\u2019s happening in Europe. Europe is right before our very eyes, socialism failing on a grand scale yet again.<\/p>\n
Everything Paul Krugman and Thomas “Loopy” Friedman, New York Times, everything they hold dear is failing right before their very eyes, and our very eyes, but they can\u2019t allow that \u2019cause that\u2019s Obama. So Europe has to be propped up by the IMF. Europe has to be propped up by Germany. Europe has to be propped up by us somehow. Europe has to be propped up by Obama at least through the next election. Everything has to be propped up artificially in order to protect Obama\u2019s reelection bid, pure and simple. George Will, I mentioned this yesterday, George Will has called Newt a Marxist. Fine; he can do whatever he wants. But I don\u2019t recall him ever calling Obama a Marxist. So there\u2019s a huge effort out there today, and it\u2019s not just today; of course it\u2019s been building. It was Herman Cain before Newt. It was Rick Perry when he came out strong. This effort\u2019s been directed at Michele Bachmann. And it is essentially an attack on conservatives. It is conservatives that nobody in the establishment inside the Beltway appears to want. Republicans and Democrats alike really apparently do not want genuine conservatives winning elections at the upper levels of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
