Rush, from yesterday’s show [Transcript excerpted]:
Mitt Makes Himself a Target Again
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/02/01/mitt_makes_himself_a_target_again
February 01, 2012
[.....................]
You know, all these Wizards of Smart in the Republican establishment say, “We can’t have Newt out there! Why, Newt’s gonna be the topic. We need Obama to be the topic. We need Obama to be the guy campaign’s about. If Newt’s out there, it’s only gonna be about Newt.” Well, what evidence is there that it’s not gonna be about Romney with these kinds of statements?
Let me read to you what Aaron Goldstein wrote in the American Spectator today. Romney’s Poor Remark: http://spectator.org/blog/2012/02/01/romneys-poor-remark
[Matchett-PI Interjection]

Rush Should Credit Andy McCarthy, Not Me

Goldstein: “Note the contrast: Newt says insane things every now and then because he’s bombastic by nature. He sees himself as needing to fulfill a ‘big ideas’ image that he’s crafted. Romney, by contrast, says stupid things because he doesn’t know any better and it comes naturally to him.” It’s a hard-hitting piece here in the Spectator. “Neither of these character flaws is a prescription for success against Obama.” Like Romney, Obama says lots of stupid things: Corpsemen, 57 states, breathalyzer, take a pill; indicative of the fact that he’s just not as smart and well educated as he’s reputed to be.
“But Obama has the media covering every one of his screw-ups while Romney will have the media magnifying every one of his. It’s like what Rush noted yesterday about that Politico guy, Jon Martin, talking about Newt going for the ‘cracker vote’ in the South. If a conservative said that, he’d be out of a job but it’s a lefty Drive-By Media guy so it’s ‘ho-hum, another day in the office.’” And then he goes on to say that he’s really afraid that Romney’s ill-equipped to deal with what’s coming. Romney, too... You know, Romney complained about Newt’s onslaught. But he was in a position to outspend Newt 65 to one.
Don’t forget that number. So the Newt’s onslaught against Romney in the ad war arena wasn’t even a pinprick in the greater scheme of things. But Obama will be able to match Romney dollar for dollar. It says here that Romney “is not a very good politician. Sure he’s a nice guy. Seems more detached than likable.” This is the kind of stuff. And this just bouncing off the “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” Yep, 65 to one. As I said, it’s in the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation, Jim Galloway. It’s right there in his headline. Sixty-five ads for every one Newt ad in Florida. So you can take whatever the exit poll data is and deemphasize it significantly.
Mitt comes out of Florida winning every category. But when you learn that he ran 65 ads for every ad that Newt ran, it kind of mitigates a little bit of power of this stuff. So we’re being told all kinds of falsehoods and have been told all kinds of falsehoods or misleading things by the establishment such as, “We can’t have Newt...” How many times have you heard this? “We can’t have Newt be the nominee because that means the campaign will be all about him. The media will make it about him, the Democrats will make it him, because Newt’s got so much baggage. We need a guy like Romney.”
And then you get the electability question. Well, where is the evidence of that? As somebody pointed out last week, he’s won 9 out of 25 elections — maybe 10 out of 26 election — and yet he’s got the “electability” category all sewn up. So Obama’s not that smart, not nearly as smart as his reputation, but the media is there to cover it up. But Romney will say things like, “I like firing people,” and again, in context, you can make a case for what he’s saying. I know what he means by this, “I don’t care about the very poor.” What he means is: They’re taken care of. He’s trying to relate and connect to the middle class with that statement. But the way he put it offers an opportunity for everybody to do everything but point that out. .....”
I’m in for a bit..thanks for the ping.

Rush has rambled for the first half hour..now appears to be getting down to the business of ripping Mittens..unless I’m wrong which I often am. :-)
Listening to talk show radio for the past day and a half, I’m realizing that the target is Romnuts. They are all ripping him. :-)
Good afternoon, megaRushWondersWhoDoesTrumpEndorseGingrichOrRomneydittos from Biggirl!
