It was not a rejection of incumbents. This was a rejection of liberalism. Whether the voters know that or not, liberalism is what this country has been in the shackles of for six years. Liberalism is what is ruining this country. The people who voted yesterday said, &#8220;No more! No mas! Stop it!&#8221; The people of this country yesterday went to vote, and they rejected liberal Democrat policies.<\/p>\n<p>There can be no other analysis of this, not honest. You can lie to yourself if you\u2019re a Democrat, and even if you\u2019re Republican you can lie to yourself and say, &#8220;The voters want us to fix a broken system. The voters want us to work together.&#8221; B! S! The voters want whatever they see happening, stopped. You and I know it as liberalism. They may not know what it is, although I think a majority do.<\/p>\n<p>But regardless, they want it stopped! This is not the America that everybody has come to know and expect. The idea that America\u2019s best days are behind us? Who says? That\u2019s hogwash, and nobody wants to believe that. We don\u2019t want to be told, &#8220;This is the new reality and that we\u2019d better accept an America in decline because an American super-status nation, an American superpower nation? Oh, no, that doesn\u2019t work anymore. We\u2019re all together now in a global community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BS. That is not what the American people want. The American people don\u2019t want a vacuum around the world where terrorist groups like ISIS rise up, Boko Haram rise up, Al-Qaeda rise up. The American people do not want infectious diseases all over the world brought into this country. The American people want America to remain what it always has been: The greatest country on earth.<\/p>\n<p>I finally heard a candidate say that last night! I actually, in an acceptance speech, heard a candidate call the United States of America &#8220;the greatest nation on earth,&#8221; and I had to stop and think. I haven\u2019t heard a candidate of either party say that about this country in I don\u2019t know when, in I don\u2019t know how long. It was Joni Ernst. It was Joni Ernst, in her acceptance speech, when she described what she\u2019s gonna do.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98352\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liberalism2PIXREjected.jpg\"\/><BR\/>She is going to go to Washington and &#8220;make them squeal,&#8221; and she\u2019s talking about the Democrat Party and the Washington establishment. She is going to make them squeal. She said, &#8220;We are gonna make them squeal,&#8221; and she described America as the greatest nation on earth, the greatest nation in history &#8212; and it is, and the American people know it, and they want it to continue.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They want to live and be part of the greatest nation on earth, and they want to be among those who make it work, and they don\u2019t want to hear how the best days are behind us. They don\u2019t want to hear how, &#8220;Well, the past, trickle-down? It was living on borrowed time and wasn\u2019t real. It really wasn\u2019t real. This is the real America, where we have to redistribute limited resources.&#8221; That\u2019s not what this country is.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not what the people of this country want this country to be, and they went to the polls yesterday and they knocked that premise out of the park. They don\u2019t want Democrat Party Lite. They don\u2019t want compromise. They don\u2019t want the Republicans to go there and do a little bit of what Obama does just so everybody\u2019s smiling. They want this stopped! There can be no other analysis. There can be no alternative take on this.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I realize some of you in the New Castrati, the metrosexuals among you might be yelling at your radio (impression), &#8220;Mr. Limbaugh, you simply are wrong! I know for a fact that many of my friends want Washington to work together, and that\u2019s what the election meant.&#8221; Really? Where do you get that?<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, if you happen to hold that view, that the election yesterday means voters want the Democrats and the Republicans to work together, how in the world do you get that? There isn\u2019t one candidate who said that\u2019s what he was gonna do that won. The candidates that won promised to stop Obamacare, but other things, too. Even if they hadn\u2019t, how do you get that?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you understand that is a Democrat myth, just like, &#8220;The independents don\u2019t like Democrats being criticized. If Republicans criticize Democrats, the independents are not gonna put up with that and they\u2019ll go running right back to the Democrat Party!&#8221; Really? Yeah? That\u2019s a myth. That\u2019s a lie. Another Democrat myth is, &#8220;The Republicans are never, ever gonna win another election unless they get on board and support amnesty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Really? How do you explain last night. Name for me one Republican who won promising to work with Obama on amnesty. You can\u2019t produce such candidate, \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t exist. So where do you get this idea that the election means the voters want the parties to compromise and to work together and to govern with no acrimony? Where do you get that? You can\u2019t find that message.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not what elections are about, anyway. Elections are about winners and losers, and last night the Democrats lost. It means the Republicans won. It means the Republicans\u2019 job is to dominate, to stop the Democrats, pure and simple. It doesn\u2019t mean work with \u2019em. It doesn\u2019t mean compromise. It doesn\u2019t mean share the majority leadership position with Harry Reid. It means get rid of Harry Reid!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: No, this was not a defeat for incumbents. It was not a rejection of incumbents.
