RUSH: Alan Simpson Babe was on a roll last night. He was on Hardball with Chris Matthews. You know, he was one of the co-chairs of Obama\u2019s deficit commission out there, along with Irksome Bowles. The first bite here he\u2019s on with Client No. 9 over on CNN, Eliot Spitzer. Client No. 9 said, “Let\u2019s talk politics for a second. The Republicans gotta have a presidential nominee next year and, you know, look, you\u2019ve been doing everything that\u2019s right and good for the public without being partisan, Senator Simpson. (laughing) And that\u2019s what the public applauds.” Yeah, everybody\u2019s applauding Alan Simpson. (laughing) CNN wonders why nobody\u2019s watching. Everybody\u2019s applauding Alan Simpson, and Eliot Spitzer knows it. “But to be partisan for a moment, Senator Simpson, is there a Republican out there who\u2019s talking common sense on the deficit right now?”<\/p>\n

SIMPSON: I can only tell you if they stay away from the social issues, if somebody is saying return to the base or if somebody is telling you they\u2019re gonna do this or that, or abortion is a hideous thing — who the hell\u2019s for abortion? I don\u2019t see anybody with a sign. But for God\u2019s sake, it\u2019s a deeply intimate and personal decision. And I don\u2019t think men legislators should even talk about it or even vote on it. And then you got homophobes in our party. Good God, we\u2019re all God\u2019s children, we\u2019re all human beings. If they\u2019re gonna play that ancient ritual we ain\u2019t got a prayer, doesn\u2019t matter who they put up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so the Republican Party is full of homophobes, and men should have nothing to say about abortion, even though in many cases in abortion they are the known father, in some cases it\u2019s not known, but they shouldn\u2019t have any role whatsoever. It\u2019s a hideous thing and he doesn\u2019t know anybody who\u2019s for it. You ever heard of Planned Parenthood, Senator? You ever heard of Margaret Sanger? I mean, Senator, let me tell you something. If you see Planned Parenthood or other leftist organizations advertising, promoting women\u2019s health services, you know what that stands for, Senator? You know what women\u2019s health services means in the current debate? What were they talking about during this most recent budget battle when they talked about women\u2019s health services? It was abortion. <\/p>\n

But the question was, “Are there any Republican nominees out there talking common sense on the deficit?” (imitating Simpson) “Hell, I don\u2019t know. Bunch of homophobes, good God, we\u2019re all God\u2019s children, where\u2019s the bar?” Then on Hardballed with Chris Matthews, Matthews said, “What do you think of the Republican field?” How about that. Two networks, same question. “What do you think about the Republican field because you were a pro-choice Republican of some belief and fiscal responsibility. You proved it on the commission. Is there anybody running for president right now that you think has got the right stuff and earns the Alan Simpson rough-hewn endorsement?”<\/p>\n

SIMPSON: We won a governorship there in New Jersey, one in Virginia by not talking about social issues. Then you\u2019ve got homosexuality, you\u2019ve got “don\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell.” We have homophobes in our party. That\u2019s disgusting to me. We\u2019re all human beings, we\u2019re all God\u2019s children. Now, if they\u2019re gonna get off on that stuff, Santorum has said some cruel things, cruel, cruel things about — about homosexuals and I\u2019m not sticking with people who are homophobic, anti-women, you know, moral values while you\u2019re diddling your secretary, while you\u2019re giving a speech on moral values? Come on, get off of it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) He did say it. He did say it. He said it on Hardballed of all places. (laughing) Good old Alan Simpson Babe. Senator Simpson, the whole Democrat Party is for abortion. They get a cut of every abortion at Planned Parenthood, in contributions. Planned Parenthood\u2019s a money laundering operation for the Democrat Party. Abortion is the sacrament of the religion of liberalism. Now, by the way, since I think 2001, I think he still is, Simpson has been the honorary chairman of the Republican Unity Coalition, the RUC, R-U-C, which is a gay-straight alliance within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n
