RUSH: I have a message for Scott Brown here in just a second, the Senator from Massachusetts. And, by the way, folks, ahem, I\u2019m coming down with a bit of a head cold today. Every time I give up tobacco products it happens. When I\u2019m smoking cigars, I never, ever got a cold. I got the flu sometimes, but I never, ever got a cold. I could feel it in the upper bronchial tract last night. I woke up in bed, sore throat. Now, I sound very hoarse to me. It won\u2019t sound that way to you because of the magic of compression of the broadcast — (interruption) What? I do sound a little hoarse? Well, those people listening on the radio will not know it because of the magic of compression. Anyway, we\u2019re here, 800-282-2882 is the number, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/line><\/a>Did you see — $950,000. Christine O\u2019Donnell started the day yesterday with what, $50,000? She started the day with $50,000 yesterday. Right before the broadcast started today she\u2019s at $950,000 in Internet website donations. She\u2019s gonna go over a million dollars today, probably the next couple of minutes or so. It was fascinating. This started yesterday when the Republican Senatorial Committee, the news was out they weren\u2019t gonna support her, she was on her own. I said, ‘Okay, fine. If everybody in this audience sends her a dollar…\u2019 That\u2019s all I said and you couldn\u2019t get on the website for a while. We crashed it; couldn\u2019t get in. Now $950,000. Rasmussen has her down 11. I thought she was down 25. I thought she couldn\u2019t win. She\u2019s down 11 points. Now, given the vicious attacks on O\u2019Donnell by the partisan political operatives in the media and the partisan political operatives on the Republican Party side and given the supposedly overwhelming liberal mind-set of Delaware voters how is it possible Christine O\u2019Donnell is this close? She\u2019s only 11 points down. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m going to tell you what the campaign against her is going to be. I can tell you right now. I\u2019ll get to it in just a second. I know exactly what they\u2019re going to do. I know these people \u2019cause I know their playbook. Look at me as a defensive coordinator of the conservative movement. I know exactly what these clowns are going to do. I know how to game plan for them. They\u2019re basically going to go after social issues. They\u2019re gonna say that Christine O\u2019Donnell represents the new Republican Party, wants to take away your Social Security, you watch. Republicans want to take away your Social Security and make sure that you can\u2019t have abortions, may even go out there and say that Christine O\u2019Donnell was against masturbation, who knows. But it\u2019s gonna focus on social issues. That\u2019s where they think that they\u2019re going to pick up moderate Republicans and independent Republicans who don\u2019t like the moral majority people that are in the conservative movement. <\/p>\n

Now, there was a piece, an attack on Jim DeMint in Politico, because DeMint was one of the first to endorse Christine O\u2019Donnell, so of course the long knives are coming out. And in this story, listen to this: ‘Behind closed doors Wednesday, Republican senators tried to assess the damage. Several senators at the lunch, including Scott Brown of Massachusetts, raised concerns that the party has sent a message that it had no room for moderates, even from left-leaning states, according to people familiar with the exchanges. And others expressed frustration that the GOP had essentially given away a pivotal seat that Castle could have won.\u2019 Now, this is Politico. Let\u2019s assume the reporting here is accurate. We\u2019ll take it here that Brown said what he said. (imitating Brown) ‘Oh, my God, my God, no more room for moderates in the Senate. No more room for moderates in the Republican Party.\u2019 And frustration the Republican Party has essentially given away a pivotal seat that Castle could have won. Look at how parochial these guys are. There\u2019s no reporting of their concern for the country\u2019s future. There\u2019s no reporting of these Republican senators talking about the threat that the Obama agenda poses to the country, all of this incessant bankrupt spending. <\/p>\n

Now, they may have talked about it, but it certainly isn\u2019t reported. What\u2019s reported is that these guys are going, ‘Oh, woe is us, oh, woe is us. Coulda had a Castle seat, coulda won it, coulda been a contender.\u2019 And Scott Brown going on and on and on, ‘There\u2019s no more room for moderates.\u2019 Mr. Brown, let me tell you something. Look around you in the Senate. You are surrounded by moderate Republicans, Mr. Brown. You\u2019re surrounded by \u2019em. Not only where you live but in the Senate, surrounded by \u2019em. You got moderate Republicans in Maine. After this election you\u2019re still going to be surrounded by moderate Republicans in the Senate. What are you talking about? No more room for moderate Republicans in the Senate? The question is whether there is room for Reagan conservatives anymore in the Republican Party. That\u2019s the question. That\u2019s what this is all about. These guys are whining and moaning already, ‘Oh, my God, (crying) may not be any room for moderates.\u2019 For crying out loud, we\u2019re surrounded by \u2019em in the US Senate. By the way, Mr. Brown, with all due respect, if it weren\u2019t for conservatives and Tea Party activists nationwide raising money for you, you wouldn\u2019t be in the Senate. What is this, ‘Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, there\u2019s not enough room for moderates.\u2019 Plenty of them. It\u2019s Reagan conservatives that are the target here. <\/p>\n

Jonathan Chait is a hate merchant. Jonathan Chait, he\u2019s at the New Republic, he wrote a piece: ‘Why I hate George W. Bush,\u2019 some years ago and was lauded for it. Here\u2019s what Jonathan Chait wrote, blog post at the New Republic: ‘Now, most elite Republicans understand that the red meat fed to the base isn\u2019t exactly right. It\u2019s useful to scare the daylights out of the activists, but writers for the Standard and the Journal editorial page understand that ‘freedom,\u2019 as most people understand the term, is not really at risk. They understand as well that politics is a little more complicated than ‘if Republicans stay true to conservatism, they cannot lose.\u2019 But the conservative base is not in on the joke. And so Republican elites found themselves with just a few frantic days to undo the toxic and intoxicating effects of 20 months of relentless propaganda. Vote for the man who compromised with evil! The true conservative can\u2019t always win! They couldn\u2019t do it. I won\u2019t say that the Republican base strategy has been a total failure. But it is nice to see it blow up in the face of the establishment from time to time.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, let me translate this for you. This is ruling class talk. Jonathan Chait, New Republic, hate merchant, big lib, is winking at us. He said, look, these guys, you know, our counterparts over at the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Weekly Standard, National Review, you know, all these conservatives, these Republicans, they understand that there\u2019s no freedom at risk here. Obama\u2019s not the destroying the country, they know this, but their base has to be indulged. The fringe kook conservative base, which feels that freedom is threatened, that Obama is destroying the country. The Republicans regretfully understand they have to indulge and entertain that base and so they throw us a bone now and then. And then sometimes they go too far and one of their fringe kooks actually wins something, as in Christine O\u2019Donnell and Chait\u2019s happy to see the guys at the Wall Street Journal, the National Review and the Weekly Standard have it thrown in their face. So they\u2019re all in on the gag, see. They\u2019re all in on the joke. All these inside-the-Beltway people, ‘Look, those stupid Americans, those stupid right-wingers, those extremist kooks, do they really think freedom\u2019s threatened? Do they really think Obama wants to take away freedom? Ha. What a bunch of rubes.\u2019 <\/p>\n

And our friends over on the Republican media side, they gotta indulge it, I mean that\u2019s their audience, that\u2019s their subscribers, that\u2019s the people that donate, so, yeah, they gotta write pieces now and then that entertain these yokels like us, folks. But at the end of the day, it\u2019s all hocus-pocus. The Republicans know that freedom is not threatened and Obama\u2019s not destroying anything, but we love seeing the Republicans have it blow up in their face now and then. And then Mike Murphy, who is a Republican campaign consultant, at one point he worked for McCain, he describes himself as a conservative. You\u2019ve seen him on television. He\u2019s a ruling class guy, a Republican consultant. Mike Murphy is basically saying, ‘All right, fine, you guys think that she can win?\u2019 — oh, and by the way, did you know that Mike Castle called Obama or the other way around? Mike Castle talked with Obama and Biden last night, he still hasn\u2019t called Christine O\u2019Donnell. <\/p>\n

Michelle Malkin: ‘It\u2019s been 24 hours since Delaware GOP Senate primary winner Christine O\u2019Donnell dethroned nine-term Soros Republican incumbent Mike Castle. As of tonight, he still hadn\u2019t placed an obligatory call to congratulate her. … Even more intriguingly, the paper tweets that Castle\u2019s lines of communication worked quite smoothly when he took calls from … President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden,\u2019 and they called him. They called Mike Castle to commiserate. ‘Oh, we coulda made beautiful music together, Mike. Having you with us on cap and trade and amnesty for illegals and so forth, we\u2019re sorry it didn\u2019t work out but, you know, sometimes you Republicans, you gotta entertain your base out there, they really think I want to take away your freedom. Ha-ha-ha-ha.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Mike Murphy: ‘Civil War in the GOP?\u2019 He\u2019s got a peacemaker proposal. ‘So I must say — speaking only for myself — that I\u2019m not thrilled by the Delaware result. I\u2019m a conservative, but I can do basic math. To me the whole thing looks like it came right out of Harry Reid\u2019s dream journal. I think the primary voters decided, and it is their decision to make, to toss away a sure-thing GOP Senate pick-up for, well, I\u2019m not sure what. I can say that with a GOP majority now a longer shot, heads are exploding throughout the GOP Senate caucus.\u2019 And they are, if the Politico story is right. ‘That said, let me make a suggestion to the snarling combatants in the GOP\u2019s looming civil war. Let\u2019s settle the argument once and for all. I think the architects of the O\u2019Donnell putsch, namely S.C. Senator Jim DeMint and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, should both temporarily move to Delaware full time and personally lead the O\u2019Donnell campaign. Control it, direct it, and own it. Show that Georgetown cocktail party addicted and hapless GOP establishment how it\u2019s really done. I\u2019ve got my notebook out, and I\u2019m ready to learn. Call me a peacemaker.\u2019<\/line> <\/line>So here\u2019s Murphy, who also feels personally affronted, he feels personally insulted by O\u2019Donnell\u2019s victory. It was a sure thing for Castle, but now it\u2019s, ‘Okay, okay, you guys know more than we do? You conservatives know more than we professionals? You conservatives know more than we inside the Beltway ruling class? Okay, DeMint, Palin, move to Delaware. You run the campaign. If we\u2019re so out of touch with America, you show us how it\u2019s done.\u2019 Mike Murphy is one of our guys. That is one of our guys. ‘Okay, Palin, okay, DeMint, get yourselves to Delaware. I\u2019ll sit here in my cocktail party.\u2019 Apparently that really bugs these people when you tell \u2019em they\u2019re trying to get their invitation list for the cocktail parties maintained and shorn up. So anyway there you have it. Jonathan Chait, ‘Hey, you know, Weekly Standard, National Review, Wall Street Journal, they know, they know freedom\u2019s not at stake. They know freedom as we know it is not going to be lost but they also know they gotta entertain their kooks.\u2019 How come they\u2019re not coming after me? (interruption) Well, because I\u2019m probably not mentioning their names personally, you know, I just refer to it as the pseudo-GOP intellectual media bunch. I don\u2019t name names. <\/line><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why. Look, you know they hate me. <\/p>\n

RUSH: From Politico, Democrats may make O\u2019Donnell an issue. ‘The results of a series of brutal Republican primaries present embattled Democrats with an opportunity but also a balancing act. While they\u2019re eager to highlight some of the views of the tea-party-backed candidates who have emerged — especially newly minted Delaware Senate nominee Christine O\u2019Donnell — they\u2019re in the midst of a new attempt to paint a broad national contrast with Republican economic policy and fear that message could be diluted. … ‘It is a little bit a matter of which ammo you use, and there\u2019s a couple of different ways to go,\u2019 Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine [‘The Eye\u2019] told Politico, saying the two go hand in hand. ‘It\u2019s all elements of painting the same choice.\u2019 … But many of the candidates\u2019 vulnerabilities aren\u2019t on straightforward economic issues. <\/p>\n

‘O\u2019Donnell\u2019s greatest problem may be her trail of debt and lawsuits. … The tension was on display Wednesday within Kaine\u2019s own DNC, which after days of promising a laserlike focus on House Minority Leader John Boehner and his support for extending tax cuts for the rich,\u2019 they got sidetracked here thinking they have to go after O\u2019Donnell. Now, here\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. I\u2019m the defensive coordinator here for our side. The media, as you well know, will be right in there helping the Democrat Party\u2019s national messaging. And what they\u2019re going to say is that the Republicans are a party full of Christine O\u2019Donnells and there\u2019s no room for moderates anymore in the Republican Party. This is what her election means, then they\u2019re going to quote Scott Brown from The Politico story lamenting it. <\/p>\n

‘Oh, no! There\u2019s no more room for moderates in the Republican Party,\u2019 and then they\u2019re going to say that Christine O\u2019Donnell and the Republicans want to take away your Social Security, and they\u2019re gonna really hyper-up the social issues side, the implicit message will be: ‘The Republicans are about to elect a slate of hard social rightists — I mean, big-time moralists — to the Congress.\u2019 And you can find this in Atlantic magazine, Marc Ambinder. It\u2019s what they\u2019re going to do. The liberal journalist here is admitting media bias, admitting that the media is going to join the Democrat Party in this. And the way they\u2019re going to go about this is to go back to page 35 of the playbook: ‘Republicans are gonna take away your Social Security, and a bunch of Moral Majority type people are gonna end up running things and you\u2019re not gonna be able to masturbate, you\u2019re not going to be able to have adoption, whatever.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They\u2019re going to go after you left and right on this. That\u2019s what they\u2019re going to do. Mark my words. ‘Almost half the country…\u2019 This is AP. ‘Almost half the country opposes tax increases for the richest Americans, according to a poll suggesting that congressional Democrats are taking some risk by backing President Barack Obama\u2019s plan to boost levies on the wealthy.\u2019 Now, this, folks… This is a profound thing. We\u2019re getting a very different tune here from the AP. This is the AP begging the Democrats to extend tax cuts for the rich. They went out and did a poll; half the country is against raising taxes on the rich. Now, this is a stunning thing to read in an article in the Associated Press. This shows just how worried the media complex is about the prospect of their Democrat masters losing control in Washington. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s really what this is all about. They\u2019re going out and doing these polls and they\u2019re finding out, ‘You know, these guys, the American people, they don\u2019t want the rich taxed!\u2019 They\u2019re trying to send a message to the Democrats. Apparently the AP is so worried they\u2019re even willing to push for tax cuts for the rich if it will help the Democrats at the polls. This is near heresy. They\u2019re so concerned now, they are even willing to drop their class warfare for a day and tell the truth about all this! Listen to this: ‘Less than 50 days from elections that Republicans hope will hand them control of Congress, the Associated Press-GfK Poll is stuffed with encouraging signs for the GOP. Huge majorities call the economy sickly and say Congress is doing its job badly. <\/p>\n

‘By a 46 percent to 41 percent margin, people want Republicans steering the economy — the first GOP edge on that runaway No. 1 concern of voters in the AP-GfK poll,\u2019 ever! ‘And while Americans are evenly split over whether they prefer their district\u2019s Democratic or GOP congressional candidate, those likeliest to vote tilt toward the Republicans, 53 percent to 43 percent,\u2019 and by the way, the enthusiasm gap here is huge. Even Michael Barone is writing about it, the enthusiasm for Republican voters. It\u2019s always up for the party out of power in midterm elections, but they have never seen anything like this, the enthusiasm Republican voters have. There\u2019s nothing — and they\u2019re hoping Obama can go out there and do something to gin up identical enthusiasm on the left. But those days are over. <\/p>\n

People are abandoning Obama in droves. There\u2019s nothing he can do. He can\u2019t go back and recapture this spirit that he had prior to being immaculated. He can\u2019t do it. So now this is… I\u2019m telling you, when the AP comes out and says, ‘Warning! Warning! You better support tax cuts for the rich,\u2019 that means now they\u2019re really, really worried that all this polling data that the Democrats gonna lose control in both houses is accurate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Snerdley, you asked me earlier, these Republican consultants, campaign consultants, Democrat campaign consultants, you asked me why aren\u2019t they coming after me. I said they hate me. I think the real answer to this is they just pretend I\u2019m not here. They just pretend I don\u2019t exist. It\u2019s easier that way. You know Zev Chafets\u2019 book on me, the biography, An Army of One<\/a>? The National Review didn\u2019t review it. The Weekly Standard didn\u2019t review it. Mike Murphy didn\u2019t review it. Scott Brown didn\u2019t review it. The Wall Street Journal didn\u2019t review it. They just pretend I\u2019m not here. They just pretend I don\u2019t exist. I think that\u2019s how they deal with it. Well, Castle knows I exist but that\u2019s only because (laughing) — they all know I exist. That\u2019s why I say they\u2019re pretending. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s an interesting point out there. By the way, I erred. The National Review did review the Zev Chafets book. The Weekly Standard didn\u2019t. None of the conservative columnists did, which didn\u2019t surprise me. I\u2019m just answering Snerdley\u2019s question. They just pretend I don\u2019t exist. It\u2019s the easiest way to deal with me. I\u2019m really not here. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Elijah in Petersburg, Illinois, great to have you, sir, on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Longtime listener, first-time caller, God bless the work you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I just wanted to make a mention about the Mike Murphy piece. It just makes me realize that Christine O\u2019Donnell\u2019s Delaware victory seems to help non-conservatives in the Republican Party expose themselves as such.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it is bringing \u2019em out of the woodwork and they\u2019re showing their anger, is that what you mean? They\u2019re identifying themselves as non-conservatives?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, exactly, and showing their true colors.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But Murphy says he\u2019s a conservative.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, then I guess that\u2019s for the rest of us to decide. After listening to you read his article, it makes me think maybe not as much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, remember, now, these guys, as I say, they work in a very small, confined area. They work in 15 to 20% of the electorate. That\u2019s where they focus their efforts and I don\u2019t think very many of them actually use conservatism or principles as a way of getting those 15 to 20% to vote for their candidate. I think they used numbers-based stuff. You know, whatever it takes. Their job is to produce votes for people and raise money for people. I think that they kind of eschew the loyalty to principle or ideology because they think that\u2019s for the rubes. I mean my job is far more broad-based than just that, and they have to pay lip service to that. They look at their job as having far wider range of importance than just rallying people to a candidate based on conservatism. It\u2019s far more involved than just that. So every time a candidate wins on the basis of loyalty and principles and conservatism and so forth, that kind of smacks \u2019em upside the head. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
