RUSH: Grand Rapids, Michigan, first. Jack, thank you for calling. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, what an honor it is to talk to you. I know you hear that a lot, but I gotta tell you, I\u2019ve listened to you for so many years, and I value you and listening to you and value your opinion.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: You know, as I\u2019m listening and have been listening to you, Rush, about, you know, the state of our country and everything else, my first question is what do you think is going to happen in the 2010 election? I mean, are the American people really going to get it and finally start voting for the people, a Republican hopefully that not only says what they believe, but actually get to Washington and do what they say they believe? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait. Those are — (laughing) — you\u2019re asking me two different things. You\u2019re asking me, will the American people vote a certain way in 2010, and then will people they elect go to Washington and do the right thing.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m so tired of them saying they\u2019re going to do these things, Rush. I\u2019m of the opinion that I want to see all the incumbents just voted out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Including Hatch and all these other long stalwarts of the Republican Party. Rush, one thing. I don\u2019t mean to interrupt, but when I listened to Hatch speak at Kennedy\u2019s funeral and talk about he and Kennedy bantering back and forth and then Kennedy came up and say, ‘How did I do?\u2019 you know, ‘Awe, you did good,\u2019 it\u2019s like the good old boys club of Washington and it just turns my stomach when I listen to a Republican speak like that. We\u2019re psyching out the American people, aren\u2019t we? Good job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think, ‘How did I do?\u2019 I think that\u2019s just, you know, sometimes even I, who always know how I do will ask people, ‘So how was that, was that okay?\u2019 Not did I fool \u2019em, but was I good enough? But that\u2019s a different thing. The collegiality of the Senate is what you\u2019re commenting on here. And it was no secret that Hatch and Kennedy were friends. I mean, they just were. Now, I understand your larger point is that people get elected campaigning for various specific things to go to Washington and somehow get corrupted and it\u2019s all too common. So here\u2019s my answer to your first question. What do I think is going to happen in 2010? I think there\u2019s going to be an uprising. I think the American people are going to show up in droves. If I didn\u2019t think this, folks, I wouldn\u2019t be doing what I\u2019m doing. If I thought all this was a lost cause, I wouldn\u2019t care so much about it. <\/p>\n

I was out in Las Vegas on Saturday, I made the mistake of turning on the television, saw something, I don\u2019t even remember what it was, and I thought, ‘My God, we\u2019ve lost the country,\u2019 and it depressed me for two hours until I was able to buck myself back up, and I know it\u2019s hard for everybody else because you don\u2019t have the outlet I have. You don\u2019t have a microphone to shout to 20 million people to vent and influence them. You\u2019re sitting there, ‘Oh, gosh, what can I do, I\u2019m just one vote, doesn\u2019t count,\u2019 I know exactly how you feel. But I do think there\u2019s going to be an uprising in 2010. I even think it\u2019s going to happen if we have nothing to vote for. Normally I wouldn\u2019t say that. I think there\u2019s going to be an uprising of people voting against the Democrat Party like they can\u2019t believe. They do not understand what\u2019s happening to them now. Now, this will help make my point. This is Robert Gibbs, the press secretary, daily briefing today. And reporter asked him, ‘What do you think this election means to the party and the president?\u2019 This is the Virginia governor\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

GIBBS: The pollsters at the Washington Post poll identified the fact that roughly 70% of the states said their vote had nothing to do with the president of the United States, that the remaining 30 was roughly divided evenly among those who wanted to use the vote to say something about the president which led the pollsters to deduce that it had very little to do with the Obama presidency. I would say the same thing, I think the same poll showed that among —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s enough. I don\u2019t want to hear this guy. At any rate, they\u2019re in denial. They\u2019re in denial. And I think that it\u2019s going to be revolt and an uprising against the Democrat Party in general. You can say it\u2019s going to be against Obama but it\u2019s going to be against Democrats and especially if they end up passing a health care bill with as much as is now known about it, it\u2019s going to be a bloodbath politically in 2010, regardless whether we have a national Republican agenda or not. Remember, House races are not national races, and these midterms in 2010 are House races. One of the dirty little secrets about the Republican takeover as it was called of the House in 1994 is that those House races were successfully nationalized. Newt and the boys came up with a national agenda for Republicans running for office, the House of Representatives. Contract with America was part of it. But rather than going to a campaign district and campaign against the local incumbent as having been weak on bringing home a nursing home center or a water treatment plant, the campaign said focus on this guy and his weakness on national defense, focus on his tax raising, focus on how he is creating cultural rot with his votes. Make him a national figure. <\/p>\n

That was huge in securing victory in the House races in 1994. Right now I don\u2019t see anybody putting anything like that together in the Republican Party. I think the revolt is going to be so stunning, it won\u2019t even need that. It would be better if there were some national Republican Party agenda that was rooted and founded in unabashed, unapologetic conservatism, that individual House members could run on and say, yep, this is me. And who knows, it may happen between now and then. But that\u2019s what I think\u2019s going to happen. Now, what\u2019s going to happen if I\u2019m right and the winners get to Washington, I know exactly what\u2019s going to happen, the press is going to start attacking them, the press going to beat \u2019em up, the Democrats are going to beat \u2019em up, and it\u2019s going to come down to whether they\u2019ve got the backbone to withstand it. Few do.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I\u2019m reminded here that — I think this is mostly correct — the Contract with America didn\u2019t happen until six weeks before the 1994 elections, but it was still six weeks before. It was still something people could rally around. We were coming off a lot of scandals. The House bank and the House post office and general Democrat arrogance, plus Clinton\u2019s failed health care bill and an attempt to totally take over one-sixth of the US economy back then, so there were a lot of things. But there still was a national agenda, there was a national strategy for all of these local House races that took place back in 1994.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
