By the way, The Hill newspaper today has a story and the wrong headline is being used. The correct headline is, &#8216;Cops Preparing for Riots.\u2019 Regardless who wins, cops preparing for riots on Election Day and the day after. We\u2019re becoming a Third World country! We\u2019re becoming a Third World country. I\u2019ll have details on this as the program unfolds. We have McCain now being once again run down by NBC. They\u2019re starting the spin that McCain is losing independents because he\u2019s playing to the base too much. This, once again, is an attempt to get McCain to change his attitude and get Palin to shut up. He\u2019s losing them? He was never going to get these independents! This is what we tried to tell the Republican Party from the get-go. The Republican Party is not gonna get independents, and it\u2019s not gonna get moderates, and it\u2019s not gonna get voters unless you have somebody who is a doctrinaire, liberty and Founders-based conservative, and that will attract all the people in addition to the Republicans that you need to win. But our party had the blinders on and didn\u2019t believe that. They thought that the way to go out and get these people was to attract them by being like them. Well, we see, do we not, the effectiveness of the campaign that tried to attract moderates? Hello, General Colin Powell. That really worked, didn\u2019t it? They\u2019re all kinds of moderates and independents out there. Every time I see a poll like we had this CBS\/New York Times poll yesterday: &#8216;Why has Senator McCain lost favor with you?\u2019 &#8216;It\u2019s attacks on Obama,\u2019 as though Obama and his campaign are not attacking McCain. This is such a silly one-way street that people don\u2019t see through, once again. It\u2019s as though the only partisan bunch, according to the media, is the Republican Party and the conservatives, and the Democrats are these loooovely flower people. &#8216;They love everybody. They care about everybody.\u2019 They\u2019re the meanest bunch of SOBs in politics I have seen, this cycle, in my life! Yet independents are going to run to them because McCain happens to get partisan? This frosts me like I can\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So the narrative is in place. If McCain loses, it will be because he focused too much on the Republican base. How about this, NBC: If he loses, it will be because he didn\u2019t focus on the Republican base soon enough. And you people in the Drive-Bys damn well know it. The ongoing assault here to depress, stress out, and otherwise kill Republican turnout here is in full swing. It\u2019s intense and it\u2019s going to keep up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s another example of the media starting to spin.
