RUSH: I gotta tell you a little story. I had a meeting after the program yesterday with a regular advisor who helps me in a certain aspect of my life. I have been working with this guy since 1989. He came in, and he said, “You know… Um, I\u2019ve always liked you, but I thought, ‘You\u2019re a broadcaster and you have to embellish, and you\u2019re a little over the top on a lot of things,\u2019 but you know what? You\u2019ve been right.” He is scared to death over the spending.<\/p>\n
He started talking to me about the fear he has for what kind of life his kids are gonna have, simply because of what tax rates are gonna have to be to support what\u2019s on the books to be spent in future years. He\u2019s a Northeastern guy, not particularly political. He believes in the ebb and flow: Republicans are gonna run the show then, Democrats are gonna run the show now. “When the Democrats run the show, you do this. When the Republicans run the show, you do that.” Nothing ideological about this guy at all. He just manages his life and his business, “Okay, if the Republicans in power, this is what I do. If the Democrats are in power, this is what I do; and I know in a couple, four, six years it\u2019s gonna change, and you just ride the seesaw.”<\/p>\n
Now he told me he feels like he\u2019s on the ground of the seesaw and he ain\u2019t getting back up. I said, “If you\u2019da just been listening to me for these last 22 years, we coulda used you.” How many people are there like that? They\u2019re not ideological. I think the mind-set is, “The country\u2019s so strong, the country is just so powerful, that no one guy can come along and really transform and change it, and the people that run around and say that are kooks.” I told you the night before when I had dinner with another friend who\u2019s much the same way: Grew up in the Northeast and had a business, and he had to deal with whoever was in power, Republicans and Democrats. So he did what he had to do based on who won, and he didn\u2019t care who won or lost. He just had to make sure he had a plan to deal with whoever did win.<\/p>\n
These guys, for the first time I think, are actually facing and understanding what liberalism is — and I think a whole lot of people are. And I, frankly, folks, as I said: If the election were held today, Obama lose in a landslide. Now, there\u2019s a story here. Where\u2019s this from? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me see. Where is this story from? I can\u2019t… Weekly Standard. “GOP Bigs Push Paul Ryan To Run — As Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan comes to a final decision about running for president, several top national conservatives are encouraging him to join the race.” You want to know who they are? Mitch Daniels, Jeb Bush, John Boehner, Jim Jordan, and Bill Bennett are among those urging Paul Ryan to run. What does that tell you?<\/p>\n
I ask: What does that tell you? They\u2019re scared to death of Rick Perry. So-called conservative leaders are scared to death of Rick Perry. They\u2019re not asking Paul Ryan to get in there because of Mitt Romney, \u2019cause Romney\u2019s been the front-runner. They\u2019re… (interruption) What, you think Mitch Daniels and Jeb Bush and Boehner and Bennett know where the strippers are? That have been in contact with Perry? See, people don\u2019t understand what that is if they missed the first hour. There\u2019s an Austin alternative newspaper where a Ron Paul supporter is running a full-page ad: “Have You Ever Had Sex with Rick Perry?” He\u2019s trying to find barmaids and hotties and floozies that have sex with Rick Perry to come forward. So Ryan\u2019s in there saying, “Ah, maybe these people know who the floozies are: Boehner, Mitch Daniels, Jeb Bush, and Bennett.”<\/p>\n
When Mitt Romney was the sole front-runner, there was no pressure on Paul Ryan to get in there. This is all Rick Perry, all about Rick Perry. They\u2019re worried about Rick Perry. Several top national conservatives are encouraging Ryan to get in the race \u2019cause they don\u2019t like the conservative: Rick Perry. Yes, my friends, it\u2019s fascinating, utterly fascinating to track all of this. You know, it is dawning on people. I think the most intelligent way to explain my meeting with the guy yesterday and friend I had dinner with the other night is: I think it\u2019s finally dawning on some people now that the problem in this country is, at the root, political.<\/p>\n
You know, a lot of people hate politics. They don\u2019t want to get involved in it, they don\u2019t want to understand it. It just frustrates them to no end. It makes no sense. They think it\u2019s all crooked, think it\u2019s all bought. It\u2019s all lobbyists, it\u2019s all special interests. Even wealthy, accomplished, achieved people want no part of it. The closest they get to it is making donations as protection racket-type things, and that\u2019s it. But it\u2019s now dawning on them that what is happening the country is political, meaning that there are specific political policies that have been put in play that are causing this. That\u2019s what\u2019s beginning to dawn on people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
