RUSH: This is Terry on the Jersey Shore. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, Terry.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, it\u2019s a pleasure to speak to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I am calling regarding the comment you made regarding Governor Corzine and the stem cell defeat. Yesterday he said that the voters of New Jersey did not quite understand the question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s what Mrs. Clinton is saying about the illegal aliens and driver\u2019s licenses, it\u2019s just too complicated for the average person to understand, so despite the vote we\u2019re going to go ahead and build the thing anyway.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I, as a staunch Republican in a Republican county, we\u2019re called central New Jersey, and from here on down south, we are red. I take offense to him thinking that we have to follow in step with the rest of the north Jersey area in voting Democrat. On my refrigerator I have a bumper sticker for several years, and it says, ‘I think, dot, dot, therefore I vote Republican.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Amen. I\u2019ve seen those bumper stickers.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Have you seen them?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. When you see \u2019em on cars, they\u2019ve been halfway ripped off. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. And he did say that he was going to put that to a vote again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course! Look, Terry, I have all the patience and compassion and understanding in the world, but where do you live? New Jersey!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do. And you know, I get upset when you say, ‘You people in New Jersey, you keep on voting \u2019em in.\u2019 I don\u2019t vote \u2019em in. But we\u2019re stuck.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I understand that, but you know you\u2019re the minority party. You know what\u2019s going to happen, you know the vote doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Constitution didn\u2019t matter when The Torch quit the Senate race —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and they went and found The Lout. The judge, the Supreme Court said, ‘Ah, screw the Constitution, the Democrats deserve to have a candidate here.\u2019 So if you have a state Supreme Court that just used their Constitution for toilet paper, why are you surprised that Corzine would say, screw the vote, people didn\u2019t understand it, we\u2019re going to build this research center anyway. <\/p>\n

CALLER: What are people like us supposed to do, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Move.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s the only option.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I know it\u2019s tough. It really is tough, because you sound like you\u2019re a native.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I grew up right on the ocean, right here —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You love it. You love New Jersey, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I love it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, surprisingly, it has a lot to offer, except for the majority party, it\u2019s really a beautiful state.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Once you get past the dumps and the hazardous waste areas near Giants Stadium.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, but we\u2019re down —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m just kidding. I shouldn\u2019t have said that. I was up late last night. I\u2019m still giddy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s an old joke and a clich&eacute;.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019re in the Red Bank area and south.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I fly over it every time I leave New York. The departure route takes you —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right over.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We take off from Teterboro, gotta fly due — after we, you know, throttle back for noise reduction so the New Jerseyans below us are not disturbed —<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019re also embarrassed about our two singing friends, Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen from New Jersey.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what do you expect, it\u2019s New Jersey. What do you expect people from New Jersey are going to be?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The odds are they\u2019re going to be libs.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. <\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, there\u2019s one thing that happened, you know, one of those referendums the other day that passed, idiots can now vote. <\/p>\n

CALLER: And did you know that this is the first time in 17 years that a question on the ballot has been defeated in New Jersey? <\/p>\n

RUSH: I did not know that, but if I could be serious here for a minute, Terry, what it means is — this was expert analysis from yesterday — what it means is the people in New Jersey saw this as not a loan, they saw this as a tax increase. That\u2019s not going to fly. When Oregon turns it down 60-40, a cigarette tax to fund health care for the kids, telling you, taxes, taxes, taxes, illegal immigration, illegal immigration, illegal immigration, those are the issues next year. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, Governor Corzine in New Jersey said that his stem cell measure failed because the people didn\u2019t understand it. The same thing\u2019s being said in Oregon. ‘Oregon\u2019s working poor will have to wait a while longer to get health-care coverage for their children. Voters easily defeated Measure 50, a plan to raise tobacco taxes to provide universal health care for children after a record-shattering negative ad campaign financed by cigarette companies.\u2019 You people in Oregon and the media can lie to yourselves all day long about tobacco being behind this. You don\u2019t understand. People do not want to pay any more taxes. Am I sounding too shrill? People just don\u2019t want to pay more taxes! Gosh, this ought to tell you. Everybody hates smokers, Oregon! Everybody hates \u2019em. Here\u2019s a chance to soak \u2019em. This was not a tax increase on the whole state. This is a tax increase on a small little group of people who are hated and despised and reviled by the people that don\u2019t smoke. A chance to really stick it to \u2019em, and it goes down to defeat 60-40. Yeah, middle class kids. I know it\u2019s going to cover middle class kids, too. Ted Kulongoski, the governor, said, ”The tobacco industry won this battle. But they will not win the war.\u2019 In Salem, pediatrician James Lace said tobacco companies ran an effective campaign, ‘and they outspent us 4 to 1.\u2019 ‘ I think it failed because people got confused by the whole issue of the constitutional amendment.” Don\u2019t think so, Mr. Lace. So once again, we have another example of arrogant condescension from liberal Democrat politicians who hold average people in contempt when they don\u2019t do what they are supposed to do, you damn little mind-numbed robots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
