RUSH: Ellen in Rocky River, Ohio. Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Huh, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I was wondering if you had seen or knew anything about there was a debate between Jim McGovern… He is the Democrat, the sitting Democrat congressman from the Third Congressional District in Massachusetts. He\u2019s running against Marty Lamb. Well, they were —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. This is the guy that said the Constitution\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was scrolling through the Internet and I saw it, and I thought, well, it was worth watching. And when I first heard it and saw it I thought, ‘I must not have heard it correctly.\u2019 So I did the replay, and indeed I did hear it correctly, so I didn\u2019t know whether to be more appalled, angry, disappointed. So I called his DC office yesterday and got right through, and the person who answered the phone was quick to tell me that he had ‘misspoken.\u2019 And, you know, I didn\u2019t want to sound snide or contentious, but I felt compelled to correct her. What I said was, ‘If by ‘misspeaking\u2019 you mean it slipped out, then I would agree. If you\u2019re gonna define ‘misspeaking\u2019 as that\u2019s not what he meant, I would profoundly disagree with you.\u2019 It would appear to me that he and his ilk see the Constitution as a huge impediment —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re right, they do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — for them to, you know, advance their agenda. They\u2019ve done a fine job restricting free speech with political correctness.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I had the sound bite yesterday, and didn\u2019t get to it. I was in a foul mood yesterday; I\u2019m in a fouler mood today. I didn\u2019t get to it yesterday. But one of the reasons, not just \u2019cause I was in a foul mood. Democrats, all Democrats think the Constitution is wrong. I mean, that\u2019s their premise. That\u2019s why they appoint the judges they appoint, to rewrite the damn thing under the auspices of law. I mean, Obama used to teach that the Constitution is wrong! He\u2019s a constitutional law lecturer. I mean Obama is on record saying the Bill of Rights is screwy. We need a new Bill of Rights. FDR got the ball rolling on that, because the Constitution doesn\u2019t spell out what government can do for people or to people. Democrats don\u2019t like it, period. This guy — you were right. He let the cat out of the bag. He ‘misspoke,\u2019 meaning, ‘Uh-oh. Oh, gosh. I didn\u2019t want people to know we think that.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Can I just make two quick comments about Sharron Angle and health care? I\u2019m a health care professional. I\u2019m a nurse manager. So I certainly have a vested interest as a consumer of health care and also somebody who works in the industry. I think she was quite articulate. I watched the debate between her and Harry Reid on YouTube this morning.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m home doing homework but, at any rate, what she was saying — and I thought it was right on — is there should be no mandate. If an individual consumer wants some type of coverage that would cover preventative care, he or she should be able to purchase that in the marketplace. If, however, they don\u2019t want a policy that covers, you know, colonoscopies or mammograms or whatever, that, too, should be a choice. So I thought that she handled it very well. I really thought she did mop up the floor with Harry Reid.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No question about it. They think that at Newsweek magazine, they think that at the New Republic, they think that at the Las Vegas newspapers. There\u2019s no question. She was far more knowledgeable and coherent than Harry Reid was. And Christine O\u2019Donnell was more knowledgeable and coherent than that ‘bearded Marxist\u2019 clown. What\u2019s his name? I can never remember. (interruption) Coons. That\u2019s right, Coons. I think both of these women mopped the floor with these guys. Harry Reid is a fool. Coons is, too. All liberals are fools. They make no sense. The difference is, they are not treated with disdain. <\/p>\n

They are not insulted, nor are they impugned the way Sharron Angle is and has been, Sarah Palin is and has been, or Christine O\u2019Donnell is and has been.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, here\u2019s a simple question here. ‘Who is the more stupid: Christine O\u2019Donnell, who could not cite a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed, or Jim McGovern and Obama who disagree with a Supreme Court decision they don\u2019t even understand — and that\u2019s the Citizens United case?\u2019 You see, it\u2019s always the opposite of what the popular assumption is. The Democrats are the uninformed idiots.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is James McGovern. We had a caller reference this. The guy said the Constitution is wrong, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, earlier this week in a debate of the congressional candidates for Massachusetts 3, James McGovern (Democrat) said this about money in politics and the Constitution.<\/p>\n

MCGOVERN: Here\u2019s the problem. We have a lousy Supreme Court decision that has opened up the floodgates, and so we have to deal within the realm of constitutionality, and a lot of the campaign finance bills that we have passed have been declared unconstitutional by the security. I think the Constitution is wrong. I don\u2019t think money is the same thing as human beings. I don\u2019t think money equals free speech. I don\u2019t think — I don\u2019t think corporate — corporations should have the same equality, uh, as, uh, — as a — as a regular voter in this — in this — in this disctrict.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there you have it. ‘I think Constitution is wrong. I don\u2019t think corporations should have the same equality as a regular voter.\u2019 Who is corporations? McGovern is saying exactly what Obama said during his State of the Union, and that\u2019s when Alito shook his head. This is exactly what Obama said when Alito shook his head and said, ‘No, you\u2019re wrong.\u2019 The decision wasn\u2019t wrong. The Constitution\u2019s wrong. And the Democrats are hell-bent on ‘fixing\u2019 the Constitution. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
