Limbaugh lamented a recent Pew study that found 52-percent of middle class adults said a second Obama term would help the middle class, saying that it is “demoralizing” and shows that “what a good job the news media and the education system have done in dumbing down the country.”
Despite his lamentations, however, Limbaugh took an optimistic outlook, saying that he refuses to “fall prey to attempts to demoralize and dispirit everybody.”
“I think that the country could survive four more years of Obama,” he said. “But I don’t believe the country can survive in a country full of people who would re-elect him.”
“We can handle Obama, but I don’t know what we can do about a majority of people who would re-elect the guy,” the host clarified. Limbaugh made the case that Obama is “going for the moron vote,” and he believes that the Democrats have “calculated that there a majority of morons that are going to vote, and they’re going to win them.”
Obama’s voters, Limbaugh contends, only care whether a candidate’s policies will cause an “interruption with what [government handouts] they’re getting.”
“Biden is the poster boy for the moron vote,” the host continued. “We’ve got a guy here just as moronic as you are, just as stupid as you are, and look at him, he’s the vice president.”

Bull Moose Party II?
My humble, honest judgment is that America has not survived Obama’s first four years.
The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 90 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.
Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in a net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by an additional 130 million to 440 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.963% (2011 estimate,) principally due to immigration.
The nation’s immigrant population (legal and illegal) reached 40 million in 2010, the highest number in our history. The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million.
Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration. Roughly three-fourths of immigrants in the country are here legally. With nearly 12 million immigrants, Mexico was by far the top immigrant-sending country, accounting for 29 percent of all immigrants and 29 percent of growth in the immigrant population from 2000 to 2010. The median age of immigrants in 2010 was 41.4 compared to 35.9 for natives.
Agreed, Rush is wrong on this one. You can’t separate a reelection of obastard from a majority stupid enough and greedy enough to vote for him.
I think we have a slim chance of surviving even if obastard is not reelected. I think we are teetering on Civil War or invasion either way.
Our collective national principles and American ideals have been about half-destroyed.
I think we can survive, and may even do better under Obama than Romney. Here’s why.
The House is already standing up to Obama. If we make gains in the senate, we can largely shut Obama’s agenda down.
Plus typically, voters vote for the opposite party two years later during congressional races. If Obama wins this could give us the Senate and an even stronger house.
But if Romney wins, you’ll have the House GOP lining up to back Romney no matter where he leads us. And he might lead us to cosmetic changes to transform Obamacare into Romneycare, he might lead us to Gay Marriage, he might lead us to bigger government and taxes on guns. Romney is a liberal leaning wild card because he is Mr. Etch-a-sketch. You have to look at his record, and his record says he’s white Obama.
But if Romney turns out to be white Obama he won’t have the house standing in his way like Obama does. Worse, two years later, we might lose the house and senate if Romney wins the President.
And if Romney wins, it will be 8 years before the GOP nominates someone different.
That’s why I’m indifferent. I don’t like either candidate, but a Romney presidency scares me about as much as another term of Obama. It’s a yuck fest out there folks.
The House is already standing up to Obama. If we make gains in the senate, we can largely shut Obama’s agenda down.
And, with Obama still in the White House, we're stuck with Obamacare. No way that a Republican House and Senate can overcome a presidential veto. It means Obamacare Forever.
And, with that, we will eventually lose the economic freedom and personal liberty that remains. Meaning, long-term, America is lost.
Sorry. But four more years of Obama is a dumb idea. One of the very dumbest ideas I've ever heard...
You really think Romney will overturn it? Romney is the father of Obamacare.
Romney will do some things different if Congress backs him. Romney will structure the penalty as a tax credit instead of as a tax. He’ll raise the general tax level and give you some money back if you buy insurance. It’ll be a little more palatable in that we’re already use to tax credits as incentives for various behaviors. But in essense it will be the same. It’s just semantics.
Romney will also probably change it from a Federal program to a voluntary state program. However the Federal purse strings attached will make it almost impossible for any state not to implement it. It’s still not an enumerated power and the end result is exactly the same.
Romney will present it differently but the end result is exactly the same. It’s what he did in Massachusetts and he’s always defended what he did there. Even though it’s practically bankrupted the state.
And I would have agreed with you that 4 more years of Obama is a dumb idea. That is, until the GOP nominated a liberal non-Christian with a history of supporting gay marriage, big government, gun control and abortion as their candidate.
And now it’s two equally dumb ideas, and I won’t vote for either.
Romney has repeatedly said his first priority is to repeal Obamacare. Every Republican running for election has claimed they will vote to repeal Obamacare. Every GOP leader has unequivocably stated that their first act will be to repeal Obamacare.
So, do you really think everybody is lying?
O.K. Guess we'll have to get rid of Zero without your help, then.
Not one to quibble with El Rushbo, but whatever country survived four more years of Obama - it would no longer be the United States in any democratically or economically meaningful sense.
In other words, we don’t survive an Obama re-election, I have a friend who is a True Believer and we have had email exchanges about the election. She is absolutely unhinged over the need to re-elect Obama. It is like dealing with a cult member.
If I had Rush’s dough, I would have bought an island somewhere a long time ago and said to heck with it. I disagree with Rush on several issues, but I have to admire him for staying with it and taking all the abuse he does from the MSM and others.
You’re right that he probably has difficulty identifying with the middle class any more, but with his money, it would be hard to do. I certainly can’t identify with the very rich. For example, I think anyone who would spend thousands of dollars on a watch or coat is out of his mind.
You forgot the Supreme Court. Big difference between Romney and 0bama there.
They are not morons. They are Takers. Addicted to entitlements. Believing they have been screwed by unnamed people doing better than them, so they deserve them.
Makers vs takers. Go galt. Live off of savings and barter and help bring it down. No income means no taxes. No money coming in means entitlements go bye bye.
Not everybody, but definitely Romney. Nobody elses campaign manager talked openly about Etch-a-sketching positions depending on where they were in the campaign.
Romney has a history of saying one thing and doing another.
Yes, he claims he will repeal Obamacare. Yet Romney steadfastly defends what he did in Massachusetts as Romneycare. There is very very little difference. I fully expect Romney will implement those little bitty differences and claim he has repealed Obamacare and implemented Romneycare.
We’ve been orbiting the black hole of unsustainable debt for a couple of decades, being slowly sucked in past the event horizon,
but 0bastard has turned the nose of the ship straight in and hit the thrusters.
Romney judicial record: Liberals running wild
Oh yeah, huge! NOT!!
