A frog for crying out loud, folks. They\u2019re going nuts out there on the left, and there\u2019s such an opportunity here to capitalize on it. I mean, for example, look at how easily Bush quieted the Democrat bullies on the left simply by recess appointing Bolton. Look how easily he put down these bullies and undermined them. It\u2019s a good lesson for Senate Republicans or Republicans everywhere. You don\u2019t have to be on defense with these guys; you don\u2019t have to always be reacting. Just do what you want to do and spread the message at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bolton and Roberts both, my friends, present us with opportunities to transform the debate and transform the country. If we just argue over tactics &#8212; which Republicans seem to do &#8212; we\u2019re not going to do nearly enough. &#8220;Tactics&#8221; and &#8220;process&#8221; are not what\u2019s important here. You know, what questions should be asked? I mean, this is a tactical thing. &#8220;Should we ask about Roe vs. Wade or should we not?&#8221; &#8220;What documents should be turned over?&#8221; I mean, those are easy questions. You can slap those away with a flyswatter. We have a majority. We do what we want! We\u2019re going to give you the documents we want you to see, and that\u2019s it. If you don\u2019t like it, take your lumps.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like what questions are going to be asked. If you don\u2019t want to be able to ask those questions, take it, we run the show. We\u2019re the ones with the majority. But what we\u2019re not doing is debating substance. We\u2019re not telling the country our view of the court versus the left\u2019s view of the court. We\u2019re not telling the country of our opposition to the UN versus the left\u2019s embrace of it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-390840\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/08\/mccainian_squishiness_won_t_win_the_roberts_fight__08_02_05_.Par_.0002.ImageFile.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"150\">You know, future elections are not won debating over process. They\u2019re won on big ideas. They\u2019re won on leadership. We have a Supreme Court nominee, which means we have a wonderful opportunity to explain to the people what our beliefs in government are, including the proper role of the judiciary &#8212; and instead, we\u2019re responding to the stupid demands of the minority. I say crush the minority, get on with our agenda, and use the bully pulpit to explain and educate what we\u2019re doing. Why do we always have to be on defense?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These guys are demanding documents, what are we gonna do? Oh no, they want documents. Should we answer this question, Roe vs. Wade?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Screw all of that. We\u2019ve got an opportunity here &#8212; particularly as I say with the Democrats finally demonstrating who liberals really are &#8212; to blow them away. We can explain that we support the Constitution, representative government, the proper role for the judiciary, that we support elections, not the tyranny of a handful of lawyers wearing black robes. That we support property rights and gun rights and political speech rights, and we support a limited central government in order to protect our individual liberties. We stand with Madison and Franklin and Washington. The liberals do not, and it\u2019s plain as day. But it needs to be articulated from the bully pulpit. We don\u2019t believe terrorists ought to receive due-process rights that have never before been conferred on an enemy during war. We don\u2019t believe the courts ought to be conferring benefits on illegal immigrants. We believe the cultural issues about marriage, sex, and religion, ought to be decided by the people, not five or six lawyers in black robes on a court. We\u2019re missing a major opportunity to explain ourselves and properly define the left. Sort of what happened after 1994. We won in 1994; we took the Congress back on ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Contract with America, whatever you want to call it, but we explained who we were and we went to the people and we explained what we believe, and it worked, and then shortly after we assumed that that election meant the people were converted and convinced and we stopped explaining all this stuff and we just started implementing and the Dems did their usual attack politics and put us on the defensive again, and it seems like it constantly happens, and I think it\u2019s probably because for so many years the Republicans were in the minority, a psychological mind-set sets in, but it\u2019s time to broom that.<\/p>\n<p>You know, Roberts may be limited on what he can say when he\u2019s up there answering questions, but there\u2019s no reason he should be limited in explaining his judicial philosophy &#8212; and it\u2019s okay if he\u2019s asked about that in detail. As far as I\u2019m concerned, senators aren\u2019t in any way constrained and yet where are the Republican senators? Where\u2019s the White House on this? You know, I get weary, folks, listening to Republican after Republican claim to be like Reagan, when they\u2019re not. They don\u2019t have Reagan\u2019s commitment to the movement or his willingness to speak out. They\u2019re always reacting. They\u2019re always avoiding, always playing defense &#8212; and I think probably one of the reasons is that there\u2019s this fear of being partisan. I don\u2019t know where this comes from, but it gives rise to people like McCain and so forth, the &#8220;moderates.&#8221; This fear of partisanship, if it\u2019s really genuine, they\u2019re in the wrong business. This is a battle of ideas.<\/p>\n<p>A partisan is somebody who\u2019s convinced his ideas are right, believes them in his or her core. That\u2019s what makes one a partisan. That\u2019s what elections are all about. Elections are all about partisan politics, and if you don\u2019t want to be partisan, pick another line of work. But what\u2019s happened here, I think, is more and more politicians are starting to copy McCain, which is simply practicing the politics of the cult of personality, and I prefer the politics of principle and big ideas. We\u2019re not always going to win, but you always can make the case, the more often you make the case the greater your chances are of persuading more and more people who agree with you, especially now with the opening the Democrats are giving us by showing everybody who they truly are. In the case of McCain, what does he stand for? His reputation is big moderate, understanding, reasonable, not a partisan and so forth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-390841\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/08\/mccainian_squishiness_won_t_win_the_roberts_fight__08_02_05_.Par_.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"212\">Well, what does all that mean? What does it mean when he stands for moderation? Does it mean that we\u2019re to trust the man because he\u2019s McCain? Yeah, it does, but that\u2019s completely opposite of Reagan. We supported Reagan because of what he stood for. The left to this day continues to smear Reagan, and they were scared to death. A forty-nine-state landslide in 1984! Reagan, they said, was &#8220;slick marketing and packaging people fell for.&#8221; Nope, it was his ideas. It was his ideas. Now, you can be a McCain if you want and try to develop a personality that says, &#8220;I\u2019m going to go with this because it\u2019s McCain,&#8221; but I\u2019d rather go with something because of the idea, because of what a candidate stands for.<\/p>\n<p>The liberals have always and purposely lied about Reagan\u2019s attraction, first and foremost it was his ideas are what attracted us, his leadership in promoting those ideas attracted us, and to the extent that George Bush succeeds it\u2019s also on the same basis, his big ideas, his specific ideas in a campaign. He gave people reasons to vote for him and when he got elected, bango! He starts implementing what he said he\u2019s going to do. Democrats say this is a trick. But, you know, it\u2019s just an opportunity here. And what brought it all home was this recess appointment, and looking at this hysteria, this unhinged hysteria from the left today and last night about how horrible this is, because all it means is they have been rendered impotent. They didn\u2019t defeat Bolton. They might want to say they did, but they didn\u2019t. He\u2019s at the United Nations as the US ambassador and he\u2019s probably up there bullying Kofi Annan right now.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Joe in Silver Spring, Maryland. Nice to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, welcome back.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, so it\u2019s funny, the sore loser mean has gone around, the Washington Post had an article today &#8212; I\u2019m sorry, an editorial about it, and I think it\u2019s funny. It mentioned conflict resolution. The Democrats\u2019 conflict resolution in this area when they\u2019re losing is to run away, to not play the game because they\u2019re the sore losers. It reminds me of what happened in Texas when the Republicans took over the state legislature, they ran away, they ran to Oklahoma so they couldn\u2019t vote on the redistricting.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly. But the New York Times today has an editorial on Bolton, and it\u2019s simply deranged. The New York Times editorial today says (summarized): &#8220;Well, it really doesn\u2019t matter because the UN\u2019s already started a bunch of reforms up there so it really doesn\u2019t matter.&#8221; If it doesn\u2019t matter then why all this effort to oppose the guy? I\u2019ll tell you why. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s in the water or else in the air at the New York Times building, but some of the stuff they\u2019re writing is so convoluted, so obviously born of just seething rage that it is incomprehensible, supposedly from the newspaper of record. I got an interesting e-mail note from a friend a moment ago. &#8220;Rush, as usual you are right about Chris Dodd\u2019s comments on Bolton and the whole question of bullying Democrats, but Dodd\u2019s comments make it clear that the challenge here is far greater than just that. Having established the principle that the Constitution means what it doesn\u2019t say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What he\u2019s talking about here is liberal judges find things that are not in the Constitution and claim that they\u2019re there &#8212; like abortion, or rights to racial quotas, sodomy, whatever it is. The liberals are now pushing even further by telling us that the Constitution does not mean what it does say. They\u2019re saying, &#8220;This is an abuse of power,&#8221; the Bolton nomination and sending him up to the UN is an abuse of power.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s a specifically enumerated power of the president in the Constitution. So the libs went after the Second Amendment and their argument there was, if the Founding Fathers had any idea what would have happened at this time in our history they would have never written that amendment. So the amendment that was there, that shouldn\u2019t have been there, then they go find a right to privacy that gives us abortion, which is not there &#8212; and that\u2019s been their practice. That\u2019s been what they\u2019ve done. They don\u2019t like the Constitution. It doesn\u2019t suit their needs, doesn\u2019t fit their lifestyles. So now all of a sudden they\u2019re going to tell us that what is in the Constitution is not there, just as they tried to do with the Second Amendment. Then the takings clause.<\/p>\n<p>You know, the Constitution says that you cannot do what the Supreme Court said New London, Connecticut did &#8212; and gave them the right to do it. So now we\u2019re rewriting law to reestablish what the Fifth Amendment already says in it. Now we\u2019re to recess appointments. You know, they\u2019re trying to say that this is an abuse of power. Bill Clinton used the recess appointment 140 times and not once did they say that it was an abuse of power. Glen in Tampa, nice to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Greetings, you beautiful human. Mega albeit disagreeable dittos, Rush. What an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What an honor to talk to you, but I\u2019ve got to shed some light into the truth factory here. You have taught me all these years, I\u2019ve tried to call a billion times, but today is my day ladies and gentlemen, never give up. John McCain has been a good partisan from time to time. He rejected in a Republican partisan way John Kerry\u2019s reaching out to him to be his vice president. He supported President Bush and continues to support President Bush on his war on terror. John McCain is a man of principle, although as a good Libertarian, I do not agree with a lot of his principles. Ronald Reagan was a great communicator who articulated his principles and was a very likable man. You\u2019re perplexed by the Republicans\u2019 problem. True conservatism, or Libertarianism, if you will, is laissez-faire by nature because we want people to be proactive. Liberalism &#8212; socialism, if you will &#8212; is by its very nature proactive. We know better than the people. The six tyrants in black know better than the people &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute! Hold it just a second. Conservatism &#8212; I understand what you\u2019re trying to say when you say that it\u2019s laissez-faire, but we are in a battle right now and it still has to be explained. Conservatism just can\u2019t sit around and be laissez-faire and hope people figure it out. The libs are proactive and they\u2019re proactive in lying about what they believe and lying about the results that they\u2019re going to get. As to McCain, you know, he flirted with Kerry for a long, long time. He has opposed Bush on tax cuts. He gave us campaign finance reform. He\u2019s done a number of things to try to stymie Bush. He\u2019s there at reelection time because he knows he wants the Republican vote during his own chance to run for president. I gotta go. I wish I had more time on your first successful entry to the program but I just don\u2019t have any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Try this headline: &#8220;Toad Case May Reveal Roberts\u2019 Philosophy.&#8221; This is an AP story. &#8220;Appeals court vote may show inclination toward states\u2019 rights,&#8221; and the opening sentence is: &#8220;A toad may offer insight into John Roberts\u2019 legal philosophy.&#8221; A toad!
