RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the Atlanta. Rob hello, sir, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I love you, but I\u2019m gonna disagree with you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Uh-oh.<\/p>\n
<*IMAGE*>CALLER: I\u2019m gonna disagree with you in what you said earlier about the Republican leadership. You said that if we had just had different Republican leadership things would be different, and maybe that\u2019s right, but I don\u2019t think so, and here\u2019s why. I really think that us limited government types really are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. We elected Ronald Reagan, government grew. We changed the House of Representatives under Newt, and we had a short time-out, government grew, and now we elected these Tea Party Republicans and we\u2019re getting ready to fall on our back again. And my point is that we have a systemic problem. George Washington couldn\u2019t go there and fix this. The way the government is operating itself is predetermined to spend money, and that\u2019s my only point, and all the talk about electing the right people and just, you know, calling \u2019em and writing \u2019em and making \u2019em do the right thing isn\u2019t gonna fix the problem because it\u2019s a systemic problem, and there\u2019s lots of reasons for that, I think, but I think we should start talking about that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I have been all day long. The system is just another word for the ruling class.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, no, no, the system is the way the Constitution is operating and is understood and the way the political system is set up. <\/p>\n
RUSH: Are you saying the Constitution is the problem then?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, not necessarily as it was originally founded, I don\u2019t. Personally I think the major turning point was the 17th Amendment. I don\u2019t think that if we had senators who represented states, that we would have ended up with the Supreme Court that we have, which would allow the things that it has as far as interstate commerce and all the rest.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Ah, you\u2019re complicating this too much. You said we\u2019ve elected a Tea Party and nothing changed. If it weren\u2019t for the Tea Party we woulda caved. If it weren\u2019t for the Tea Party there wouldn\u2019t have even been a disagreement even after winning the election. If there were a Tea Party leadership, it would be different. I have no doubt about that. Yeah, we elected Newt and the boys and they did balance the budget for the first time in a long time. At the same time the doofuses of this country elected Clinton. There\u2019s your system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
