Rush, I\u2019m a frustrated Democrat and I\u2019m voting for John McCain. My dad campaigned for Jack Kennedy. I campaigned for Bill Bradley in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was the president. I have never seen a party be absolutely hijacked by Barack. This party once was a great party. It stood for helping people, and I still believe in that, I still believe that when people are out of work we should extend unemployment benefits to them and we shouldn\u2019t provide for them, and that\u2019s what Obama is all about, and if there\u2019s any Democrats out there, hardworking Democrats like myself who can hear me, it\u2019s time to vote for a guy like John McCain who\u2019s actually worked with Democrats and has done something like working with Kennedy, working with &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; Feingold, working with Lieberman. Lieberman spoke to me, he spoke to me during the convention.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Taking the words right out of my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Let me tell you something &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean seriously &#8212; (crosstalk) he can\u2019t hear me because he\u2019s using a cheap phone. Hello. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He is a moderate man, but the other reason, too, is because we have (unintelligible) of this country. And I\u2019m telling you right now, could you imagine, could you imagine if back in the days of Watergate the press stopped &#8212; when the Republican talking points were it was a third rate burglary &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Nixon went down because he associated with &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; and (unintelligible).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (imitating caller\u2019s unintelligible call) I know, no question whatsoever, you\u2019re taking the words right out of my mouth. For you old-line Democrats &#8212; God, I do this for the purposes of victory, please understand. I\u2019m looking skyward. For you old-time Democrats, John McCain is certainly much closer to your Democrat heroes of the past than Obama is. I\u2019d say that JFK and John McCain are much closer to each other than Obama is to JFK. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We\u2019re going to start with Long Island.
