That\u2019s something the Democrats have been trying to do. If there were any votes suppressed in 2000, it was absentee military votes, and those votes were suppressed or attempted to be suppressed by the Gore people in 2000. This is irresponsible of John Kerry to say this. This is picking up standard boilerplate political lingo from the sour grapes crowd and simply trying to recycle it as news. Play the bite again because you\u2019ll hear him. He covers himself here. &#8220;Some say&#8221; &#8212; he\u2019s not even making an official charge, he\u2019s just trying to get these people all worked up. To me it is classic of how the Democrats try to instill fear and hate in their own people, people they say they got their best interests at heart, the people they are trying to help. They want them out there scared to death. They don\u2019t tell \u2019em what they\u2019re going to do for them because the answer is nothing. Here\u2019s the bite again.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>KERRY: We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we\u2019re hearing those things already, what they did in Florida in 2000. Some say they may be planning to do this year in battleground states all across this country. <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Some say. Who? Who is saying it, Senator Kerry? No wonder he\u2019s not doing press conferences. Can you imagine him having to answer that question? Well, who\u2019s out there saying that they are getting ready to suppress it? What do you mean a foreign leadership at restaurants in New York? Give us some names. Who\u2019s out there planning to suppress the black vote, who\u2019s told you this, and who\u2019s going to do the suppression? What have you heard? (Doing Kerry impression) &#8220;Well, aye juuust heard, that\u2019s a hypoooothetical and I\u2019m nooot going to deal with that till aaaafter it happens.&#8221; Wait a minute, I thought you said you\u2019re gonna stop it. &#8220;Weeell, we\u2019re nooot going to let it happen.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>The guy is a piece of work, folks. Can you imagine the poor people in this guy\u2019s campaign? Can you imagine what it\u2019s like in there? It\u2019s gotta to be hopeless. You give him the right thing to say&#8211; In fact, there\u2019s an LA Times story, let me find this. There\u2019s an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/nationworld\/nation\/la-na-kerry12sep12,1,4949985.story?coll=la-home-headlines\">LA Times story<\/a> here, and it\u2019s from yesterday. Listen to this paragraph. Who wrote this piece? Matea Gold and Mark Barabak, LA staff writers, Sunday story, big edition of the paper, right? Listen to this paragraph. &#8220;Democratic insiders say it remains unclear who is ultimately responsible for the campaign\u2019s daily message, which is crucial to helping Kerry project a consistent vision.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/stop_the_tape.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"272\" height=\"208\" class=\"alignright\"\/> How can that be? I mean I read this and I simply am agog. If the candidate is not responsible for the message of the campaign, then who is? Democrat insiders say remains unclear? Not only is it not Kerry who\u2019s supposed to come up with this message, they don\u2019t know who it is that\u2019s supposed to come up with it. What do we got here? We got a coalition campaign! We\u2019ve got a coalition campaign. He\u2019s put together a coalition, but there\u2019s no leader of the coalition. Nobody\u2019s giving the coalition any guidance. This is like telling France and Germany &#8220;go help us in Iraq&#8221;, but not give \u2019em a start date. And then, of course, this last line, which is crucial to helping Kerry project a, what is he, a robot? So this coalition\u2019s gotta come up with a message and if they don\u2019t come up with a message it\u2019s not Kerry\u2019s fault because nobody is out there helping him project a consistent vision.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>At what point do some of these people say, &#8220;What role does he play in his own campaign?&#8221; I\u2019m sorry for sounding so incredulous here, folks, but as an unofficial unpaid advisor to the Bush-Cheney \u201904 Cheney, which I finally admitted to today, this would never happen in our campaign. Bush is never off message like that. Bush is the one that tells us what we\u2019re going to do. We don\u2019t tell him what&#8211; well, there have been times, never mind. But I mean this is what makes this fun and unbelievable at the same time. I mean here is a guy who is revered and thought to be the best this party has on one hand, and then they can\u2019t come up with anybody to assign him a daily message. Why is he running? I asked this question last week, somebody needs to ask, why are you running for president? Don\u2019t give us this business because you want your own house because you\u2019re tired of sponging off Teresa. Why are you running? There is no message. &#8220;The candidate\u2019s advisors dispute reports of any debilitating divide.&#8221; Here is Tad, a Tad Too Devine, with his comment. &#8220;In every campaign I\u2019ve been in, it\u2019s routine for people to have different debates and discussions about how they\u2019re going to proceed.&#8221; It is? &#8220;The lack of agreement has been apparent as Kerry works to reverse <a href=\"\/\/\/home\/daily\/site_091304\/content\/rush_on_a_roll.html\">the gains<\/a> that Bush has made since the Republican convention in New York.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;*ICON*><strong>Your Resource for Combating the Partisan Media, Liberals and Bush-Haters&#8230; <\/strong><\/line><BR\/>&amp;lt;a target=new href=&#8221;\/home\/menu\/fstack.guest.html&#8221;>(&#8230;Rush\u2019s John F.
