Two-thirds of the high school was empty. Obama\u2019s only going to blue states, and he\u2019s having trouble holding crowds. Clinton can\u2019t draw any crowds. But don\u2019t worry. That\u2019s all on purpose. Operation Reverse Chaos. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Greetings, folks, El Rushbo here. <\/p>\n<p>I have a question. Obama and Moochelle (my Belle) are literally leaving the country two days after the election. They\u2019re going over to India and they have taken out the entire Taj Mahal Hotel, 570 rooms, every banquet room, all the restaurants, the whole Taj Mahal Hotel. On this trip Moochelle (my Belle) Obama is going to meet with sex workers in India. I kid you not. She is going to meet with sex workers. When you stop and think of who\u2019s not on the trip, she\u2019s going to meet with sex workers but she\u2019s not taking Eliot Spitzer. She\u2019s going to meet with sex workers but she\u2019s not taking Bill Clinton. She\u2019s going to meet with sex workers &#8212; (interruption) She is, Snerdley, I\u2019m not making it up &#8212; but she\u2019s not taking the Breck Girl. I\u2019ve got it right here in the stack. I\u2019ll get to it. <\/p>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I must warn you. I must warn you this next week and coming weekend are going to be intense as far as the State-Controlled Media is concerned. They are going to flood the zone with stories of Republican leaders wanting to compromise with Obama. They are going to do everything they can to depress you and your turnout. They know full well. It\u2019s very simple what\u2019s going to happen here. If Republican candidates do not win in these historic landslides, the media is setting up to declare the Tea Party\u2019s influence on the election vastly exaggerated. One of the reasons I think &#8212; and I\u2019ve got everybody asking me. I had some people over last night to watch the football game, I\u2019ve got people e-mailing from California: &#8216;Rush, this conventional wisdom, Republicans winning big in the House, maybe winning the Senate, is this real?\u2019 And I said, &#8216;Well, who\u2019s writing the conventional wisdom?\u2019 They said, &#8216;Yeah, yeah, I know.\u2019 The conventional wisdom is being written by the other guys. <\/p>\n<p>The latest from Charlie Cook via the National Journal: &#8216;It\u2019s easy to look at what appears to be a gigantic Republican 2010 midterm election wave in the House and feel a little slack-jawed, but not so much surprised. There were plenty of signs well over a year ago that Democrats were facing grave danger, but even when expecting an onslaught, one can still be shocked at its size and unrelenting force. It would be a surprise if this wave doesn\u2019t match the 52-seat gain on Election Night in 1994, and it could be substantially more.\u2019 Do you see how this works? If it\u2019s not 52 seats, let\u2019s say it\u2019s 50 &#8212; Republicans need 39 to take control &#8212; let\u2019s say it\u2019s just 50, let\u2019s say it\u2019s just 49. You know what Charlie Cook\u2019s next headline is going to be? &#8216;Tea Party Not that Important. Tea Party Not that Influential. Rumors of the Republican rout were (and we\u2019re going to be get to the bottom of it) greatly exaggerated.\u2019 And make no mistake, the State-Controlled Media is hoping and praying that this is what happens. If these conventional wisdom predicted big-time landslides don\u2019t happen, and I mean exactly as they\u2019re predicted, they\u2019re gonna declare the Tea Party dead and they\u2019re gonna try to never mention the Tea Party again in order to fulfill their own prophecies. That\u2019s what\u2019s shaking up. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>In the process of trying to make this happen you\u2019re going to get stories like this. This is from a couple days ago at TheHill.com, headline: &#8216;Boehner &#8216;Would Welcome\u2019 Finding Common Ground.\u2019 That\u2019s a six-month-old quote. Boehner said it six months ago. They\u2019re making it look at TheHill.com as though he just said it yesterday. &#8216;House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has said &#8211;&#8216; See, they know that the headline is all that\u2019s read here. The headline: &#8216;Boehner &#8216;Would Welcome\u2019 Finding Common Ground.\u2019 Listen to the first story, first sentence. &#8216;House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has said he\u2019s willing to work with President Obama to find areas of compromise, where possible, if the GOP wins back the House.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Now, the people at TheHill.com know full well that that\u2019s gonna tick you off. They know full well that you\u2019re going to be calling Boehner\u2019s office, &#8216;What the hell you talking about, wanting to compromise?\u2019 That\u2019s exactly what they want you to do. They\u2019re reviving a six-month old quote here making it look like it\u2019s yesterday. &#8216;NPR re-aired Boehner\u2019s remaks Friday, a day after House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) said &#8216;the time to go along and get along is over.&#8221; So here you had Pence on Friday compromise. What\u2019s there to compromise with? And he\u2019s dead right. So The Hill and NPR go back six months, get a quote from Boehner, &#8216;Oh, yeah, we\u2019d welcome finding common ground,\u2019 and the story is Boehner\u2019s the leader, Pence isn\u2019t. So get ready for this. I mean it\u2019s been going on for the past week or two anyway. It\u2019s going to intensify this week. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another example: &#8216;New York Times: Obama\u2019s Playbook After Nov. 2,\u2019 New York Times, Sheryl Gay Stolberg. &#8216;It took President Obama 18 months to invite the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, to the White House for a one-on-one chat. Their Aug. 4 session in the Oval Office &#8212; 30 minutes of private time, interrupted only when the president\u2019s daughter Malia called from summer camp to wish her father a happy 49th birthday &#8212; was remarkable, not for what was said, but for what it took to make it happen. Not long before the meeting, Trent Lott, the former Republican Senate leader, lamented to his onetime Democratic counterpart, Tom Daschle, that Mr. Obama would never get an important nuclear arms treaty with Russia ratified until he consulted top Republicans. Mr. Lott, who recounted the exchange in an interview, was counting on Mr. Daschle, a close Obama ally, to convey the message; lo and behold, Mr. McConnell soon had an audience with the president.\u2019 And what are we hearing about this? McConnell says he\u2019s willing to compromise. Boehner is willing to compromise. McConnell says he\u2019s willing to compromise. Ranking Republicans are quoted as saying they expect Obama to moderate. He hasn\u2019t yet. <\/p>\n<p>You know, speaking of expecting Obama to moderate, let\u2019s look at Mitch McConnell as an example here. The election in Kentucky, Rand Paul defeated McConnell\u2019s first guy. McConnell\u2019s guy was the chosen guy, the establishment guy, got beat by Rand Paul. Now, one would say that, okay, well, if that happened Mr. McConnell should realize that his guy lost, meaning his way of doing things was defeated, maybe McConnell ought to moderate a little bit and move toward Rand Paul. Has that happened? No. I\u2019m not picking on McConnell. I\u2019m just saying all the evidence that Obama\u2019s going to move to the right isn\u2019t there. Our guys don\u2019t even move to the right when they get beat. Why is Obama gonna move to the right? But my point is this. Do not go wobbly on me here this week. Folks, I\u2019m gonna report to you what\u2019s reported in The Politico, but you\u2019ve got to know that they are deeply now fully in the tank. I mean running a story last week that conservative radio hosts were mad that Sarah Palin had canceled interviews when she hadn\u2019t. It was Beck, Hannity, and Levin. And it didn\u2019t happen. Did not happen. They did not cancel interviews with Palin, as it was reported. This is, as they say, in football during the Oklahoma drill, it\u2019s nut crackin\u2019 time. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.39917.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"177\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Speaking of nut crackin\u2019 time, speaking of football, what we\u2019re hoping for on November 2nd is something tantamount to what the Oakland Raiders did to the Denver Broncos yesterday, 59-14. Raiders haven\u2019t scored that many points in I don\u2019t know how long, since the sixties. My point here is, and I can\u2019t emphasize this enough, and I\u2019m going to be finding examples for you throughout the week: Republican leadership doesn\u2019t like Tea Party. Republican leadership thinks Tea Party unsophisticated. Republican leadership willing to find common ground with Obama. Tea Party candidates, stupid, odd, and weird and don\u2019t understand Constitution. Christine O\u2019Donnell, Sharron Angle, the guy Joe Miller out in Alaska. Because they\u2019re panicking. They\u2019re never gonna come around. Even after this win, they\u2019re not going to say, &#8216;You know, the American people have spoken. I guess we had better reorient ourselves and get in line.\u2019 That\u2019s not going to happen. The opposition is going to become even more strident. The anger, the arrogance, the condescension, the contempt for conservatives is going to be ratcheted up. There will be no respect accorded any of the victors, only abject anger and an attempt to get rid of that new leadership as quickly as they can. I\u2019m never wrong about these things, especially this kind of stuff. I am never wrong about it. <\/p>\n<p>The ruling class, the big clique is not gonna all of a sudden say, &#8216;Okay, hicks and hayseeds, you know what? We\u2019ve been wrong about you. Come on in and join the club.\u2019 Well, that\u2019s how they look at us, as hicks and hayseeds. They\u2019re not gonna say, &#8216;You know, you guys have a better bead on all this than we do.\u2019 Ain\u2019t going to happen. &#8216;Hey, hicks and hayseeds, you may have won this one, but you\u2019re not getting outta your pickup truck. We\u2019re going to make sure you\u2019re still in the church parking lot a year and a half from now. That\u2019s as far as you\u2019re getting.\u2019 The media will be right in line. Don\u2019t get depressed at this, folks, this is a great sign. I\u2019m not trying to depress anybody. I\u2019m just warning you, don\u2019t get depressed. Understand it\u2019s they who are disoriented, discombobulated, ticked off, and livid. They know they\u2019re being rejected. They know it. But also be prepared for this. If they\u2019re out there this week, don\u2019t be surprised if Charlie Cook and the boys, all these other polls, &#8216;You know what? We\u2019ve said a hundred seats are in play but we never really thought it could be that many but this week it\u2019s looking like maybe the Republicans could take 70 seats,\u2019 and then if they only take 65, it\u2019s a loss. It\u2019s a disappointment. Keep in mind the magic number is 39. That\u2019s what\u2019s needed. They\u2019re already putting out , that\u2019s 1994. Anything less than that, no big deal, sitting presidents always lose the midterms. Obama courageously taking on policies that few presidents would tackle, given our tough economics times. It\u2019s totally expected to have this kind of opposition until the people get up to speed. <\/p>\n<p>Oh. That\u2019s another thing. Howard Kurtz has moved on from the Washington Post over to the Daily Beast. This is Tina Brown\u2019s website, $10 million in debt, by the way, still. We\u2019re not in debt at Rush 24\/7. We\u2019re not in debt at the EIB Network. The Daily Beast, $10 million in debt. How in the world can it take $10 million to do a website, I do not know. Well, I think I read that there were negotiations of trying to merge The Daily Beast with Newsweek, and somebody decided not to do it at the last minute because they didn\u2019t want to take on the debt. I\u2019m not being critical here. I don\u2019t know how to lose $10 million on the Internet. I just don\u2019t know how you do it. I mean I could probably do it if I tried, but it would take some effort. How do you do it? Maybe it\u2019s worth losing $10 million to have your name in the game, your name on a byline on websites quoted by people like me and the mainstream media. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Howard Kurtz: &#8216;White House Goes Into Bunker Mode.\u2019 This is another thing. This is a continuing theme that in the White House they\u2019re discombobulated. My gosh, if Obama can\u2019t be great, nobody can be great. If Obama with all he\u2019s got going for him and all of his majorities, if he can\u2019t get his face on Mount Rushmore, who can? All this lowering-of-expectations stuff. Here\u2019s how Kurtz begins his piece: &#8216;As the GOP prepares for a rout in November (The Daily Beast\u2019s Election Oracle forecasts a 50\/50 split in the Senate and a substantial Republican lead in the House), the Obama team seems powerless to stop it. Howard Kurtz on its fascinating belief that the bully pulpit has been downsized, forcing the leader of the free world to shout for attention.\u2019 It\u2019s an unfortunate turn of events, Obama happens to be elected president when all of a sudden events conspire in a totally coincidental way, that all of the New Media dwarfs the bully pulpit of the presidency. Damn, what a shame, who woulda ever thought this could happen, and what a rotten deal for our young President Obama to have to be elected president with this confluence of events. <\/p>\n<p>Get this next paragraph &#8212; they\u2019re feeling sorry for Obama &#8212; &#8216;Imagine if the Chilean mining disaster had happened here in the States. President Obama would have been hammered for 69 days for failing to rescue the men, right up to the moment the first one was pulled to safety.\u2019 We have been in the mine. We\u2019ve been in the mine almost for two years. We\u2019re still in the shaft. He hasn\u2019t brought us out. Nobody has rescued this country at all. (imitating new castrati) &#8216;See how unfair it is? The bully pulpit, if Obama were president, he woulda been blamed for 69 days.\u2019 If Obama were president, they\u2019d still be in the mine; the mine company would be facing three lawsuits; Obama would be on the air daily ripping the mine company. Don\u2019t give me this garbage. Poor little Obama can\u2019t stop it. Now, if this landslide doesn\u2019t occur&amp;hellip; See what they\u2019re setting up here? Be vigilant, my friends, and do not go wobbly on me.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s something even more devious going on at the New York Times than simply trying to depress your voter turnout with stories like &#8216;Obama\u2019s Playbook After Nov. 2\u2019 by Sheryl Gay Stolberg, a story about how it took 18 months but finally, finally, finally Obama got together with Mitch McConnell and even though it was talking about nuclear arms reduction treaty, still there was dialogue. This is all about, the New York Times. This story was aimed at Mitch McConnell, praising McConnell. &#8216;Hey, finally! Finally, Mitch, you went in there, had a meeting with Obama. Keep it up, Mitch! Keep it up, Senator &#8212; and, Congressman Boehner, learn from this.\u2019 The New York Times is pushing for Republicans to work with Obama. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.90644.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"349\" height=\"465\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Remember the White House line is that the Republicans are going to have to move to Obama to work with him, and Obama\u2019s willing to work with Republicans after this election. &#8216;Cause he\u2019s tired of trying to work with the Democrats who were such obstacles in what he wanted to do, so maybe he\u2019ll have better luck with the Republicans. Meanwhile, Obama, at all of his campaign rallies, keeps saying that the Republicans plan on undoing his reforms. The Democrats running for office must be wondering: What side\u2019s he working for here? Undoing Obama\u2019s reforms is what everybody wants! So Obama running around telling everybody that Republicans want to undo his reforms is a positive message for Republicans and everybody else who wants to undo Obama\u2019s &#8216;reforms,\u2019 which is a clear majority of the American people. <\/p>\n<p>But this &#8216;Obama\u2019s Playbook After Nov. 2\u2019 by Sheryl Gay Stolberg in New York Times, all about pushing for McConnell, Boehner, Obama to work together. In other words, to make permanent Obama\u2019s destructive policies over the last 20 months, and then no doubt to proceed to other areas of compromise, say cap and trade. That\u2019s what this New York Times story about: Yeah, Republicans are gonna win but you know how you can be liked? You Republicans, yeah, you\u2019re gonna win but we also know that you want to be loved by the New York Times. We at the New York Times know and our compadres at the Washington Post know that you Republicans want favorable press from us. We know that you want to be loved by us. We know that you can\u2019t wait for positive Style section pieces in the Washington Post on you.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you do it? You work with Obama, work together. Go ahead and cement what Obama\u2019s already done and then proceed on other areas of compromise &#8212; such as cap and trade, eliminating the home mortgage interest deduction, the VAT tax. And Trent Lott, always the compromiser, now the lobbyist, is appreciated for his wisdom and maturity in putting Mitch McConnell together with Obama. Trent Lott, the most hated and reviled guy in Washington after that Strom Thurmond birthday party &#8212; Trent Lott, against whom both Republicans and Democrats lined up to get him kicked off his leadership position in the US Senate after the Strom Thurmond birthday party comment. Now all of a sudden, Trent Lott is &#8216;much appreciated for his wisdom and maturity in working with Tom Daschle to get McConnell and Obama together in the White House after 18 months.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Keep it up, guys! I\u2019m just warning you, you\u2019re going to see this &#8212; and more intensely &#8212; all week long. You\u2019re gonna get sick of it. You are gonna get livid. If you\u2019re not careful, you\u2019re going to be calling here and asking me, &#8216;What are these Republicans doing, Rush? We\u2019re on the verge a big victory and all we\u2019re talking about is working with Obama.\u2019 That\u2019s what the media is saying that they\u2019re going to be doing. The media&#8230; This New York Times plot. The media is trying to do to McConnell and the Republican leadership what they did to George H. W. Bush after his &#8216;Read my lips: No new taxes\u2019 pledge. The media promised in endless articles that they would say understand if Bush 41 had to go back on his promise and raise taxes. They\u2019d understand; they sent the signal. <\/p>\n<p>He wouldn\u2019t be excoriated by the New York Times, the paper professional ruling class politicians all want to be appreciated by. &#8216;So Mr. President, we will not hit you. Your own party will hit you, but we will support you,\u2019 and once Bush did reverse himself, they never stopped reminding us what a liar he was. It never works. They dangle the carrot. They promise all these Republicans, &#8216;We\u2019re gonna treat you nice, we\u2019re gonna let you become a member of the club, we\u2019re going to give you favorable stories,\u2019 and then after all of it happens they still continue to run after them. This is what you and I at a distance have trouble understanding why Republicans don\u2019t see, that no matter what they do they\u2019re gonna be ripped to shreds. <\/p>\n<p>You know, we\u2019ve always said: &#8216;Just do the right thing because they\u2019re gonna rip you anyway. You can\u2019t curry favor with them.\u2019 Look at McCain. At the end of the day, after McCain made mention of the fact that the Mainstream Media was his base, after McCain had gone out of his way to make those people love him, when it came time to pay him off, what happened? They endorsed Obama. And they ran around with story after story making McCain look like a senile old man who had botched his campaign. You cannot buy a permanent place of favor. And yet the media knows that it\u2019s all too possible to affect Republican movement this way, so they\u2019re going to keep it up. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I pointed out the New York Times, &#8216;Obama\u2019s Playbook After Nov. 2,\u2019 the New York Times pushing the Republicans to work with Obama, to make permanent Obama\u2019s destructive policies over the last 20 months and then to start working together on more destructive policies. The pressure is being brought to bear. &#8216;Obama\u2019s Playbook After Nov. 2,\u2019 New York Times. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the USA Today version: &#8216;Obama Preps for Post-Election Presidency.\u2019 Yes, he does. &#8216;Preparing for political life after a bruising election, President Obama will put greater emphasis on fiscal discipline, a nod to a nation sick of spending and to a Congress poised to become more Republican, conservative and determined to stop him. He is already giving clues about how he will govern in the last two years of his term. Obama will try to make gains on deficit reduction, education and energy. He will enforce his health care and financial overhauls and try to protect them from repeal should Republicans win control of Capitol Hill.\u2019 I don\u2019t see anything here about Obama moderating. I don\u2019t see anything here about Obama moving to the right to meet Republicans halfway, as ranking Republicans think that he\u2019s going to do. I don\u2019t see any of that here. He will enforce his health care and financial overhauls, try to protect them. He will put greater emphasis on fiscal discipline. You know what this means, hello tax increases. <\/p>\n<p>The deficit reduction panel, don\u2019t forget, they\u2019re working. In December they\u2019re gonna come forward with their recommendations. You know what it\u2019s going to include? Wall Street Journal story today: home mortgage interest deduction is on the table. In fact, what better time than now to remove the home mortgage interest deduction when nobody can afford to buy a house in the first place? What better time to do it. From their perspective, now, they want to get rid of that, they do, they have for the longest time, what better time. There\u2019s going to be less caterwauling than ever. I mean, I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll grandfather current mortgage interest deduction, if you have a mortgage, you will continue to be able to deduct your interest on it but new buyers will not, and what better time when nobody can buy a house anyway. <\/p>\n<p>Foreclosures are up, nobody\u2019s working, no wage increases, no new jobs on the horizon. Who\u2019s buying houses? I mean the housing industry is already in big trouble. Why not just really lay \u2019em into waste when the damage would be big but not nearly as big as if you did this at a time of prosperity. And then the VAT tax is coming. That\u2019s what is meant by Obama put greater emphasis on fiscal discipline. Don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna mean Obama\u2019s gonna get responsible about spending. No. This is now going to focus on paying for all of his spending and paying for even more spending. Obama pushing for fiscal discipline translates to Obama will try to get the Republicans to raise taxes and impose new ones so that the government can be saved. It will be positioned as, &#8216;Look, I inherited this mess, and it was a mess that you Republicans, with your president, created, and I\u2019m willing to work with you, but we\u2019re going to have to start raising taxes, we\u2019re going to have to get serious. The world is going to have to see that we\u2019re serious about getting rid of our debt. Raising taxes will be the simplest way to show the rest of the world we\u2019re serious.\u2019 This is what fiscal discipline means. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Reports are &#8211;&#8216; in the Wall Street Journal, this is the Alan Simpson and Irksome Bowles commission &#8216;&#8211; that both the home mortgage deduction and dependent child deduction are on the table.\u2019 Home mortgage interest and the dependent child deduction are on the table. We don\u2019t need any more children anyway. We\u2019re already bursting at the seams here. The planet can\u2019t support the number of people we have now. If we need more people we\u2019ll just import \u2019em from Mexico. But we don\u2019t need any more American births because we can\u2019t support the people that are here now. Don\u2019t doubt me on this, folks. This is why this election only begins the real heavy lifting. Anybody who thinks Barack Obama\u2019s gonna moderate and become less radical and less intent on moving his agenda forward does not understand the man, does not understand why he\u2019s president, why he wanted to be president, and who\u2019s running him. Fiscal discipline means getting rid of tax deductions, popular ones, and including the dependent child credit deduction. Who needs more kids anyway? <\/p>\n<p>Remember now, global warming, environmental destruction, the United States is destroying the planet. We have too many people who are living too wasteful a lifestyle. If we need any more people we\u2019ll just get \u2019em from Mexico or from around the world. You know, people born in this country tend to vote the wrong way anyway. We need people from outside the country. They\u2019ll vote more reliably Democrat than people born here. Don\u2019t doubt me. &#8216;Obama Preps for Post-Election Presidency.\u2019 Let me ask you this, if you doubt me on this. If you\u2019re Obama and the Democrats and the media, and you\u2019re facing these big losses, are you really that intimidated? You know because of history, recent and long term, that you can force the Republicans into doing anything you want \u2019em to do. You can entice them into a budget battle where you accuse them of starving kids and they\u2019ll actually debate you about it, rather than pooh-pooh the premise. The Tea Party bugs \u2019em, but the Republicans don\u2019t. The Tea Party they fear, the Tea Party and the new people in politics and the conservative ascendancy. That they fear. Republican leadership they don\u2019t fear. They think the Republican leadership, they look at it and, &#8216;We can turn \u2019em all into a bunch of McCains. All we gotta do is call the Washington Post and the New York Times and get a couple favorable profiles on these people, we own \u2019em. How would you like to be credited with Obama for saving America, Senator such-and-such?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Look at what\u2019s happening in Alaska. I got a bunch of e-mails, &#8216;Rush, Rush, what\u2019s going on in Alaska? Lisa Murkowski write-in, she looks like she\u2019s gonna win. How is this happening?\u2019 Very simple. Who wants Murkowski to win? Who wants Lisa Murkowski to win? I\u2019ll give you the names: Barack Obama, Harry Reid. Take a look at who hopes she wins and you\u2019ll understand why she better not. Take a look at who hopes Lisa Murkowski wins and you\u2019ll understand why it better be that Joe Miller wins. Why do we want a Republican running for office that Harry Reid wants, that Obama wants, people like Arlen Specter want. Why? How does that move the conservative ascendancy even higher? It doesn\u2019t. You just need to take at look who\u2019s supporting this. Look at who\u2019s funding her effort. Is it not &#8212; dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut &#8212; union types in Alaska? <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t see Sarah Palin campaigning for her, do you? No. You see any Tea Party people out there for Lisa Murkowski? No. But you know Barbara Boxer would love to have her back in the Senate, if Boxer makes it back. You know Dianne Feinstein would love to have Lisa Murkowski back. Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe would love to have her back, and Mike Castle in Delaware, &#8216;Oh, well, if I can\u2019t win, at least Lisa can and represent our class. &#8216; Just take a look at who wants her to win and you\u2019ll find out which way to go on this. Not complicated. So fiscal discipline, Obama, post-election presidency, playbook after November 2nd. Here we\u2019re setting up a major Republican sweep and the focus is how will Obama continue to get his agenda? And they\u2019re laying out the blueprint. Well, here\u2019s how. We know there are certain Republicans we can mold and shape, bend, flake, and form to work with us. And you\u2019re going to see more and more of this as this week intensifies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, one thing I can assure you of is that I am not playing to a two-thirds empty high school gymnasium, as was the former President Bill Clinton over the weekend in Michigan, in Detroit.
