RUSH: Here\u2019s McCain. We have three bites. This is the most maddening portion of his speech last night in New Orleans. Climate change — well, here — I don\u2019t need to preview it for you. You just listen.<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: The next president must be willing to break completely with the energy policies not just of the Bush administration, but the administrations that preceded his. Senator Obama voted for the same policies that created the problem. In fact, he voted for the energy bill promoted by the president and Vice President Cheney, which gave even more breaks to the oil industry. With forward thinking Democrats and Republicans, I proposed a climate change policy that would greatly reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Our approach was opposed by President Bush and by leading Democrats, and it was defeated by opposition from special interests that favor Republicans and those that favor Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t even need to add commentary. He has to start, ‘The next president must be willing to break completely with the energy policies not just of the Bush administration,\u2019 rips into Bush and Cheney for ‘giving breaks to the oil industry.\u2019 This is a guy who says he\u2019s a Reagan conservative. Takes pride in the fact that Democrats and Republicans both oppose my bill. He\u2019s in favor of this debacle that is being read right now on the floor of the Senate, all 500 pages. Good Morning America today, Ron Claiborne, the reporter interviewing Senator McCain. He said, ‘Why would Democrats that have supported a liberal Democrat, why should they vote for you, a conservative Republican?\u2019<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: They respect the fact that I\u2019ve reached across the aisle to Democrats. If I\u2019m going to win this election, a key to winning this election will be independent voters and Democrats as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. There you have it. A question: Why should liberal Democrats vote for you? You\u2019re a conservative Republican. Well, because I\u2019ve reached across the aisle to Democrats. I\u2019m going to win this election. The key to winning this election will be independent voters and Democrats. He thinks he\u2019s going to be rewarded for all this independence. And Claiborne said, ‘Well, you did not refer to what, for many Americans, certainly will be the historic moment of the country, an African-American as a nominee of the party.\u2019<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: I congratulated Senator Obama, not because of any reason except that he has run a very effective campaign and he\u2019s done a very admirable job, and as I said, he\u2019s motivated lots of Americans to be involved in the political process.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They just sit around, they look at this, they hear these sound bites themselves, Democrat National Committee headquarters, and they rub their hands together. They say, ‘So, Senator McCain wants to go on the honor basis, eh? (laughing) Senator McCain wants to tell everybody that Democrats are going to like him because he\u2019s worked with Democrats, eh, wants to tell \u2019em that, huh?\u2019 They are salivating at this. Obama gave us just a little preview in his speech last night. McCain\u2019s independence doesn\u2019t count for anything with Obama, not a whit. He hasn\u2019t been independent enough. Meanwhile, Obama has zero independence. It\u2019s going to be a combination of interesting and frustrating to watch all this play out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
