\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Dan in Delaware, Ohio. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Glad you waited. It\u2019s your turn.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. Thank you, Rush. Padron Aniversario Maduro wrapper dittos to you, sir.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening since 1990, I love you your show. What I\u2019m calling about, your caller from Texas yesterday<\/a> really got me agitated, the one that was maligning the Tea Party. And what I told the call screener was that I agreed with you, that we don\u2019t win by losing, I understand that. If we don\u2019t vote against the Democrats, then we definitely lose. But I have to tell you, I\u2019m getting to the point where I don\u2019t see us winning with Republicans. I just don\u2019t see how that helps the conservative cause. <\/line><\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not sure what to do, you know, casting a protest vote maybe doesn\u2019t help us, but sorry, I mean, how do we improve the situation where we have Mitch McConnell and Boehner leading the party? Even if we win the Senate, I don\u2019t see anything changing. I just do not see them ever challenging Obama and making any inroads or retracting anything he\u2019s done. No one\u2019s talking about smaller government anymore. No one\u2019s talking about repealing Obamacare, and I\u2019m in the health care industry, I can tell you the disaster that\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait just a second on this repealing Obamacare. In fact, in my election news Stack today, it turns out that the vast majority of Republicans running in this election, House and Senate both, are all running against Obamacare. Now, that doesn\u2019t mean if they win they\u2019re gonna do anything, but it is out there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s good. That\u2019s good to hear.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re right, the Republican Party\u2019s got no such national message. I understand all that. The way I look at this is, you have to make an honest assessment of the status quo at the very moment you\u2019re about to go do something, and in this case, vote. There\u2019s no question that this election, the attitude you have that you\u2019re forced with the lesser-of-evils question, but that can be an important question. <\/p>\n

I think at this point, for me, since what you say, these guys, the current Republican leaders are not conservative, they\u2019re not gonna articulate it, that\u2019s true. But they\u2019re not Obama, either. No matter what you want to say, they\u2019re not Obama, and they\u2019re not gonna be and do what Obama does. They may not stand up to Obama, but that\u2019s not who they are. He is who he is, and he\u2019s got to be stopped somehow.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you think this election\u2019s not about Obama, why are so many Democrats running as far away from the guy as they can? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

We had a caller a moment ago who asked me to be careful in talking about a landslide \u2019cause he\u2019s worried, “What if it isn\u2019t? Oh, no! It\u2019s horrible, and even if we win, what have we won because McConnell and Boehner are worthless. McConnell and Boehner, they\u2019re no different than Obama. They\u2019re not gonna try to stop Obama.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re just gonna try to be placeholders for a while, maybe help get immigration. What\u2019s it gonna do?” I said to him, “They\u2019re not Obama.” Now, if anyone wants to disagree with me on that, have at it. If there\u2019s no difference, then you may as well do what you can to punish \u2019em, if that\u2019s what you want to do. If that\u2019s your modus operandi, go ahead and keep Democrats in power. I don\u2019t know what to tell you. <\/line><\/p>\n

None of us control what Boehner does. None of us control what McConnell does. We know they\u2019re not conservatives. We know they try to convince people they are whenever they think it\u2019s useful, but we know they\u2019re not conservatives. I do not think that it\u2019s the end of the Tea Party, by the way, if the Republicans win. I know a lot of people do. I can\u2019t tell you why.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a gut feeling. I don\u2019t have any brilliant, on-site analysis as to why it\u2019s not the end of the Tea Party, but I don\u2019t think it is. The Tea Party\u2019s comprised of too many people that care too much. All I know is that the Democrats running for reelection are running as far away from Barack Obama as they can. They have run as far away from Obama as possible. <\/p>\n

They have denied voting for him, they claim they never supported his policies, yet we\u2019re told this isn\u2019t an election about Obama and his policies, and it clearly is. We have people trying to tell us it\u2019s an election about incumbents; the voters are simply fed up with incumbents and want all of \u2019em gone. And that analysis is done to protect Obama. <\/p>\n

But the Democrat Party is telling us how toxic Obama is, even in the Washington Post <\/a>today. “Where Did Obama Go Wrong?” One of the things that they\u2019re worried about here is he just got a terrible hand dealt to him by the world. (sobbing) It\u2019s just ISIS and all this stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan, it\u2019s more than any president should have to put up with, it isn\u2019t fair, he was dealt such a bad hand by the world!<\/p>\n

What do you mean, dealt a bad hand by the world? He told everybody he was gonna heal world. He told everybody the world was gonna love America once he was elected. He wasn\u2019t even gonna have to even do anything! He got the Nobel Peace Prize for showing up! He didn\u2019t have to do anything to get the peace prize. This was a guy that was elected totally on the come, and all he has done is wreak havoc. <\/line><\/p>\n

Every Democrat on the ballot is doing their best to convince voters they have nothing to do with Obama. They won\u2019t even admit — some won\u2019t even admit voting for him. They\u2019re all running away from him. None of them want him in town to campaign for them. At the same time, he\u2019s out there getting back at them by saying, “Hey, these are my buddies. They voted for every one of my policies. They made what I\u2019m doing possible.” <\/p>\n

All is not well on the Democrat side of the aisle. Now, as to Obamacare. There are individual candidates running ads and so forth in their campaigns telling voters that their intention is to do what they can to repeal it. I don\u2019t know whether they mean it or not. I don\u2019t know whether they\u2019re out there just saying this because they think the voters want to hear it. <\/p>\n

McConnell is all over the place on repealing Obamacare. One time he said he was going to. Recently he said we can\u2019t. We\u2019re gonna need 60 votes, and even if we get 60 votes the president\u2019s gonna veto whatever we do. There\u2019s no way. So what we can do is cherry-pick, maybe get rid of this or that, maybe little bits of the bill and then send that to him.<\/p>\n

But the fact is they don\u2019t need 60 votes. Obamacare happened via budget reconciliation. They had to play all kinds of tricks to get Obamacare passed. Getting Obamacare passed was one of the biggest sleights of hand that we\u2019ve ever seen. I think it would be truly ironic to repeal Obamacare via budget reconciliation! You only need 51 votes for that. You don\u2019t need 60 votes for that. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it was passed in the first place. It wasn\u2019t passed with 60 votes. They had to play all kinds of games. They lied to people like Bart Stupak and all kinds of people. Now, whether McConnell is gonna do that, I haven\u2019t the slightest idea. All I know is — and please forgive me if this offends anybody. I\u2019m not speaking to anybody here, but I don\u2019t like to go through every day perpetually pissed off. <\/line><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like living that way. I don\u2019t like living perpetually in a depression. I don\u2019t like living fatalistically. I just don\u2019t. I am always gonna try to find the positive. I\u2019m not gonna lie to myself about it, but I\u2019m always gonna try to enjoy life. We only get one life, and I don\u2019t intend to live it mad at everybody all the time. I don\u2019t intend to live it fatalistically.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t intend to live my life telling myself what I believe never has a chance. I\u2019m not gonna do that. Sorry. I\u2019m not speaking to anybody specifically. I\u2019m not reacting to a caller or anything. I just… I\u2019m just sharing a little bit about me with you. I am the mayor of Realville, and a phrase that has become a cliche is something I profoundly believe in: “It is what it is.”<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t pretend that things aren\u2019t the way they are and that they are the way I wish they were, but I try to make them that way if they aren\u2019t. I know Mitch McConnell is a sad disappointment to people. I know Boehner is a disappointment. But we know who the Republican establishment is.<\/p>\n

We know what the Washington establishment is, and it\u2019s into self-preservation. They don\u2019t want limited government; they feed off of it. It needs to be as big as possible for everybody in that town. There\u2019s no way anybody living and working in that town wants to reduce government. There are a few exceptions, of course, but I\u2019m talking about the establishment. <\/p>\n

They all derive everything meaningful in their lives, personally and professionally, from how big government is, how massive it is, how far its tentacles reach. That\u2019s how they all survive. Any talk of shrinking it and reducing its size and getting it out of people\u2019s lives is the same thing as them being threatened with being fired and having their livelihood taken away. They\u2019re not gonna support it. They\u2019re gonna have to be beaten. They can\u2019t be reasoned with. They can\u2019t be persuaded. It\u2019s like the media. We\u2019re never gonna convince them that they\u2019re wrong. We\u2019re never gonna convince them to be fair to us. <\/p>\n

Those are just some realities. I mean, my life has told me that. I know some of you are new and getting into this and you\u2019re holding out hope. I\u2019m not trying to be a downer about any of this. I just believe in accepting what is and dealing with it as best we can at the time. I see Democrats running away from Barack Obama. I see a giant Republican mandate. But as I\u2019ve been saying, I don\u2019t know that they even want it. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ll check the archives of this program you will find me saying in the recent months that have passed that I have said I\u2019m not even sure the Republicans want to win control of Congress because that carries with it a responsibility they may not want with an African-American president in office. They may forever feel powerless and their hands tied no matter what, because of that single fact, that that\u2019s something they can\u2019t win or overcome simply by virtue of our culture and the way it is. <\/p>\n

I have no way of knowing. I\u2019m like you; I have to guess. The only thing I know for sure is that people who live, breathe, their total existence depends on Big Government, are never gonna stand for anything that reduces its size. Therefore, there is no compromise with them. There is no persuading them. All there is left to do is to defeat them, and I don\u2019t think at the same time voting Democrat or voting Libertarian in order to teach a lesson, send a message, accomplishes anything other than perpetuating the status quo, which is something we all oppose. <\/p>\n

If I thought there were no difference in Republicans and Democrats, I\u2019d be the first to tell you. If I thought that, I\u2019d tell you, furthermore, I don\u2019t think it matters whether you vote, if that\u2019s what I really believed, that\u2019s what I would tell you. But I don\u2019t think that at all. I think the American people are telling everybody, and are going to tell everybody, at the end of the day what they want. That\u2019s what elections do. It\u2019s why sometimes when you lose \u2019em you get really depressed, because you think you\u2019ve lost the American people. But it\u2019s clear, the Democrat Party doesn\u2019t even want to be around this guy at the moment of truth. The people of this country who vote today are going to vote — maybe it is partially anti-incumbent, but why is it anti-incumbent? <\/p>\n

Who\u2019s running everything? As far as any ordinary American citizen is concerned, who\u2019s running this country? It clearly isn\u2019t McConnell. It\u2019s not Boehner. It\u2019s Obama. So even if it is an anti-incumbent vote, it\u2019s an anti-Obama vote. It\u2019s an anti-Harry Reid, anti-Democrat vote. They may not know the names of Harry Reid or Pelosi. They know Obama. Poll after poll after poll shows how fed up with the direction this country is going people are. Poll after poll after poll shows how disappointed and opposed to the direction this country\u2019s going people are. I believe that\u2019s real. <\/p>\n

I believe it may be more real than the polling data we\u2019re seeing indicates. And I believe, therefore, that the people who show up and vote today are voting for one thing: to stop it. I don\u2019t think people want to lose their country. I don\u2019t think they want their country transformed. I don\u2019t think people who are engaged and paying attention have the slightest desire for any more of this to happen, and they\u2019re going to be doing the only thing they know how to do to stop it, and that\u2019s vote against who\u2019s in power. The Republicans, we have to admit, they don\u2019t have an agenda. They haven\u2019t told people what they\u2019re gonna do in a national message of any kind, so the vote is totally anti today. It\u2019s a protest vote. <\/p>\n

The danger of this is, as again we\u2019ve been talking about — don\u2019t forget, we had eight years of what many of us believe was the greatest lesson citizens could have about conservatism versus liberalism. The eighties and Reagan. And yet it wasn\u2019t long that they decided, “You know what? It\u2019s safe to go back to the Democrat Party.” Even after those eight years of prosperity that we hadn\u2019t seen in 20 or 30 years prior, abundance everywhere. The Berlin came down, American dominance and prominence everywhere, eight years of Ronald Reagan, and four years after that what did the voters do? Right back to Bill Clinton. Why? Because it was perceived the economy was in the tank, worst economy the last 50 years, they were running around saying. But it wasn\u2019t. <\/line><\/p>\n

But people thought for some reason it was safe to go back to the Democrats, I guess. I don\u2019t know. It frustrates me that people don\u2019t learn from living through success what they have to do to perpetuate it, i.e., vote conservative. I\u2019m as frustrated by that as you are. I don\u2019t know what to do about it. All I know is this is gonna be one of those times which is an opportunity. The people are gonna show up and once again express their total opposition to what\u2019s happening now. It\u2019s an opportunity, and that\u2019s where I think the Republican mandate comes from. This is a mandate. They\u2019re gonna have a bigger mandate than they realize, maybe a bigger mandate than they want, and my eyes are gonna be all over \u2019em. <\/p>\n

The American people, if all of this pre-election hype, if all the polls, if all this stuff we\u2019re hearing turns out to be right, if it\u2019s a catastrophe, even if it\u2019s not a catastrophe loss, even if it\u2019s just a big loss, it\u2019s still gonna be a loss, and it\u2019s still gonna be people saying they want it stopped and that is why the Republicans are gonna end up winning. They\u2019re not gonna win it because of immigration They\u2019re not gonna win it for the Chamber of Commerce. They\u2019re not gonna win it for whatever they\u2019re gonna win it for. They\u2019re gonna win it because the American people want somebody to stop this. <\/p>\n

Now, if they don\u2019t pick up that ball and run with it, I can\u2019t tell you beyond that, but that\u2019s what the election\u2019s going to mean to me, and that\u2019s how I\u2019m gonna analyze it \u2019cause that\u2019s what I think it means. And therefore, to me, it\u2019s gonna be pressure. There\u2019s gonna be pressure on the Republican Party to do the bidding of the American people who want this stopped. It may be pressure the Republican Party doesn\u2019t want; I don\u2019t know. But it\u2019s still gonna be there. <\/p>\n

People expect their vote to mean something. They expect their vote to matter, particularly now. And it\u2019s gonna carry all the way to 2016. The expectations are gonna carry through right to 2016 as well. Repealing Obamacare would be really hard because the guy whose name is on it is sitting up on Pennsylvania Avenue, and he\u2019s gonna veto any effort to make it happen, and even if he does, he\u2019s still got executive orders he can do whatever he wants to do whenever he wants to because he doesn\u2019t care about the Constitution. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a whole other matter, too, what these next two years portend no matter who wins this today, or tonight. But the Republicans have signaled to Obama that they\u2019re not gonna stop him. When they took impeachment off the table, they signaled that they\u2019re not gonna stop him. So what is to stop him? The honor system? Reverence and respect for the Constitution? That doesn\u2019t exist. <\/p>\n

These are tough times. I don\u2019t know. There\u2019s nothing in my makeup that says vote for the guys creating the problems or do anything that keeps them in power. You have to start somewhere. And if that means stopping what\u2019s happening, then that\u2019s the objective that has to take place. Yeah, look, I can\u2019t give you substantive A, B, C, D, E, F, G reasons for my optimism, it\u2019s just the way I am. And I\u2019ll admit there\u2019s a little — I want to be optimistic. I want for there to be good things to happen. This is our country. <\/p>\n

I want good things to happen for everybody. That\u2019s what we conservatives want. We love everybody. We want the best for everybody. We want them to be able to procure the best for themselves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
