I\u2019ve been talking about McCain treating the Republican presidential field as a bunch of fire hydrants. He was on with Christiane Amanpour on ABC\u2019s This Week. They were talking about the War Powers Act and the war against Libya, and Christiane Amanpour said, &#8220;Are you concerned about the message that we\u2019re hearing? You\u2019ve talked about the partisan share, what\u2019s going on in Congress. Are you concerned, for instance, about what Speaker Boehner is saying about this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignright\"\/>MCCAIN: Well, I was more concerned about what the candidates in New Hampshire the other night said. This is isolationism. There\u2019s always been an isolation strain or isolationist strain in the Republican Party, the Pat Buchanan wing of our party, but now it seems to have moved more center stage, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Come on, here. What are we supposed to do? Everywhere in the world we are supposed to go, Congo, Sudan? It\u2019s our place every case to use the military where there are human rights violations on this scale? Isolationism? Why do this? I don\u2019t know, as I said earlier, we need a new definition of what he means by isolationism because this is just over the top. And I think, you know, he\u2019s out today blaming illegal immigrants for these wildfires, and I gotta tell you, that\u2019s as inane as anything else, and probably he\u2019s out doing that to make sure people don\u2019t talk about his comment \u2019cause that\u2019s what I\u2019m sure he\u2019s embarrassed by, or wants to have people not focus on. He would never say something like that about Obama when he was running for office himself. When he was running for the presidency he wouldn\u2019t criticize Obama that way. I don\u2019t know who he\u2019s trying to curry favor with now. I mean, what\u2019s the point? <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I wanted you to hear what McCain said.
