I have another profundity, another truth for you. This is the dirty little secret. We know that all political parties, the two big ones, Republicans and Democrats alike, we know that these parties know what the winning message is. They know it. Every campaign ad running right now is stressing what? Cutting taxes, cutting spending, growing the economy. Every campaign. Republican and Democrat alike, that is the message. Doesn\u2019t matter what the party affiliation is. In fact, in some races the Democrats sound more conservative on these things than a lot of the Republicans, the so-called Republicans, which is why elections are held in November. It\u2019s about as far away from April 15th as you can get. But after today, the media will get back on message, we\u2019ll see stories of the people want more spending and of course higher taxes, but both parties know it, folks, both parties know what the winning message is. Some are just better at explaining it than others. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Tim in Suffolk, Virginia, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, thank you very much. I appreciate what you do for conservatives and, of course, what you do for me as well. I\u2019m surviving this Obama depression real well but you mentioned earlier how the media and these Democrats talk about how moderates are leaving the Republican Party. If that were true the Democrats would be happy. You and I would be high-fiving each other if the Democrat Party were falling apart. If it were true moderates are leaving the Republican Party why aren\u2019t they happy? Look at Axelrod on TV or Gibbs or any of these Democrats, are they happy? No! They\u2019re glum. Here in Virginia, the three candidates, I\u2019m in Virginia, we\u2019ve got a governor\u2019s race, attorney general, lieutenant governor, all three of these guys are being cast as conservatives by their opponent and by the media. And they\u2019re up by ten points &#8212; I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen here in Virginia but it certainly looks like three top offices are going to people that are being cast as Republicans. The three Democrats, they\u2019re milquetoast &#8212; if anything, they\u2019re moderates, but why aren\u2019t these Democrats all excited that moderates are leaving the party?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It was my point earlier. I watched Plouffe on TV today, and Axelrod,and they\u2019re all so alarmed that the Republican Party is losing its moderates. It\u2019s as though they\u2019re sitting at the White House, &#8216;Gee, we want that party strong, we want the Republican Party strong so that we can stay on edge. We want a good competitor.\u2019 The last thing that Barack Obama and his pals don\u2019t like: opposition.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They sweep the field. They clean it up. They get out, they get rid of it. And, of course, we have idiots on our side, Tim, my brother, who believe them. &#8216;Oh, yeah, it\u2019s an honorable thing to have moderates in the party,\u2019 and so forth. I look forward to the day when the Republican Party ceases accepting any premise put forward by the Democrats, the liberals and the media. All right, a quick time-out here, folks. Thanks, Tim, for the phone call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: One more thing here about these elections today. I have another profundity, another truth for you.
