You know, none of this was supposed to happen, but believe me: this is where the Obamaites want us. This kind of fear and panic and crisis will allow them to come back and say, &#8216;We need another trillion.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s worse than I thought out there: according to this survey, more than 80% of multimillionaires are cutting back on payments to their mistresses. You know it\u2019s bad when the rich are cutting back on payments to mistresses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know how in the world Abraham Lincoln could be called a bipartisan by anybody. Abraham Lincoln was one of the most partisan presidents we\u2019ve ever had, and you know what his bias was? The Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you, President Obama, and thank you, CNN. You are doing the job that everybody expects of you: taking every tradition and institution that defined this country\u2019s greatness and trying to rip it to shreds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;You know, we Americans used to be proud that we built things. We used to be proud that we generated a GDP that created opportunities for prosperity for anybody who wanted to access our great capitalist system, but now we\u2019re stigmatizing the whole thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;I tell you what: I damn well would love to be able to convene my own hearings and find out what all these people in Congress are doing with our taxpayer money and pass judgment on their use of it &#8212; just as they\u2019re passing judgment on everybody else\u2019s use of their own private money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;What are you pointing at me for, Snerdley? You think I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s time to stop talking because the segment is over? Twenty years, and people still think I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing &#8212; and I\u2019m not married to any of them!&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;People say, &#8216;Rush, why don\u2019t you run for office?\u2019 Because that\u2019s the epitome of the problem. Running for office is asking people to put money in your hands. And if you think all of them are giving you that money just because they like your ideas, you\u2019ve got another thing coming &#8212; they want a return.&#8221; <\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;Dawn just said to me, &#8216;This is just outrageous what Snerdley just did. He just called for six different flower arrangements for six different women. That\u2019s just horrible!\u2019 I said, &#8216;No, Dawn, that\u2019s an insurance policy.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125100.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"72\"\/> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re Missing Out on Thousands of Rush Quotes!
