RUSH: Samantha in Belleville, Michigan. Hi, Samantha. I\u2019m glad you waited, and welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks so much. Mega podcasting dittos to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My comment is with regard to Schwarzenegger — and I think, you know, it\u2019s more than him just turning back on conservatives. I think he is looking long-term. He\u2019s very ambitious. He\u2019s seen the writing on the walls, and he thinks a Democrat\u2019s going to win in \u201908, and he is making overtures toward them to get a position in the White House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what\u2019s going on here. He wants — I\u2019ve heard, I don\u2019t know if this is accurate and ought not speculate on it — that he\u2019s eying a run for the Senate. What position in the White House does he want? He can\u2019t be vice president and he can\u2019t be president because he was not born in the United States, was not born a citizen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Maybe, you know, wasn\u2019t there a Republican under Clinton who made a — was it secretary of defense, or just a higher position even though not a, you know, legally —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I think the first part of what you\u2019re saying may have merit, that he thinks the Democrats are going to rule the roost in the next bunch of years and that\u2019s the side he wants to be on, in order to win elections, but I don\u2019t think it has to do with serving in somebody\u2019s White House. But, look, you could be right. You lead me, Samantha, into yet another item in the Stack of Stuff. I found this very interesting today. Bill Murchison, who writes out of Texas, has a column at TownHall.com entitled, ‘The Democrat Implosion.\u2019 I read this and I had to admit I myself have predicted this, and I recently predicted this within the context of the way the Democrats own defeat. Democrats literally own defeat in Iraq and the war on terror. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no escape from it now. They are wedded to it. They\u2019re committed to it. They cannot allow victory. Victory in the war on terror, victory in Iraq would seal their fate, seal their doom. As such, I said I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be 2008, but they are McGovernizing themselves all over again while thinking they\u2019re strengthening themselves, and in the process they are sowing the seeds of their own landslide defeat somewhere down the road, don\u2019t know if it\u2019s 2008, don\u2019t know if it\u2019s 2012, but it\u2019s going to happen. Now, I read Murchison\u2019s piece about the Democrat implosion and here\u2019s the way he opens it. <\/p>\n

‘What I mean is, can\u2019t the Democrats see<\/emphasize>? Don\u2019t they have eyes<\/emphasize>? A single set would help, under the circumstances. What others are watching with mounting anxiety is the moral and intellectual implosion of a political party. Nor do I mean the Republican Party, for all its undoubted problems and shortcomings. I mean, rather, the party of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Pat Leahy and John Murtha and so on and so forth, who for two months — and we\u2019re only getting started, folks — have kept their country in carefully engineered turmoil. It isn\u2019t necessary to love or, likelier, just put up with the Bush administration in order to feel the flesh crawl whenever an eminent Democrat prescribes for us. A ‘Democratic official\u2019 such as the Associated Press quoted this week, gloating in the uproar over the firings of a handful of federal prosecutors, as saying, ‘We know from last year that Democrats can win in Republican districts where corruption is an issue.\u2019 Wherefore, bring on the corruption!\u2019<\/p>\n

His point is that the Democrats are doing everything they can to keep you in as much turmoil and angst and chaos as possible, because they think it is from that they will win elections. Now, I have to be honest about this. All of last year, wherever I went from the golf course to wherever it was, people said to me, ‘Rush, do you think the Republicans are going to hold the House?\u2019 and without hesitation, I said, ‘Yeah. Who\u2019s going to vote for the Democrats? Who\u2019s going to vote for a bunch of people whose defining elements are seething rage, hatred, pessimism, and doom and gloom?\u2019 Yet look what happened. I was wrong. I thought they were in the process of imploding, too. I still do. But I don\u2019t know, folks. I would love for Murchison to be right about this. Yes the country is in turmoil, and yes the country\u2019s full of angst. I know this personally because whenever I act positive in a good cheer, I\u2019m deluged with people wondering how the hell I do it. <\/p>\n

Why am I not filled with angst? Well, one is I don\u2019t pay attention to the Democrats other than to comment on them. I don\u2019t listen to them, but people that watch the Drive-By Media&hellip; look the more you expose yourself to this stuff every day, the greater the chance it\u2019s going to affect you. So I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just the simple notion that the Democrats are trying to find a scandal everywhere. We know why they do this. It\u2019s because of Watergate. This is the founding, formative event in the recent incarnation of Democrats. The best way to win at the ballot box is to formulate scandal after scandal after scandal. If Republicans continue to just bow down and kiss their feet or bend over forwards and backwards to try to placate them during all this, I don\u2019t see where the people are going to get upset about it because the Republicans will be tantamount to admitting their guilt in this stuff when they don\u2019t fight back. So anyway, I wanted to run that by you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
