Mitt is Kicking Butt Out There
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | May 25, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Mitt Romney yesterday on his website and his YouTube channel (he has a YouTube channel) released a new ad entitled, "Day One, Part 2." Romney's staying on message. There's one thing... I probably, in the near future, need to spend a little bit more time in this. But you know, everybody's talking about Obama and his daily events and so forth. But Romney is kicking butt out there, and Romney is staying on message, and Romney is rapid-firing back. And this is part and parcel of what has them a little bit discombobulated.

So here is a Romney ad staying on message Day One, Part 2.

ANNOUNCER: What would a Romney presidency be like? Day one: President Romney announces deficit reductions, ending the Obama era of big government, helping secure our kids' futures. President Romney stands up to China on trade and demands they play by the rules. President Romney begins repealing job-killing regulations that are costing the economy billions. That's what a Romney presidency will be like.

ROMNEY: I'm Mitt Romney, and I approve this message.

Day One

RUSH: Now on CNN's Starting Point this morning, Christine Romans, the fill-in host, talked to Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz, who runs the Democrat National Committee. By the way, do you know Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz was scheduled to appear and make a speech after services at a Miami temple, a Jewish temple? And a member of the temple, a man by the name of Tate stood up and said (paraphrased), "I'm outta here. If you bring her in here to make some concocted political speech on Friday night, I'm outta here. I mean, I'm out!"

So they canceled her. A Miami temple canceled the appearance by Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz. When was the last time you heard of that happening? Normally that's the kind of stuff that happens to us. One of us is scheduled to go someplace, the left protests it, and whoever was scheduled to host it shuts it down. Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz was disinvited or uninvited, and this Tate guy... I forget his first name. Stanley? I'm not sure. Anyway, he persevered.

And this temple is very close to her district. It's in Miami but it's very close to her district. Anyway, she was on CNN's Starting Point this morning and Christine Romans said, "I want to start with this attack on Romney and Bain Capital. A lot of people, Debbie, are seeing this as an attempt to disqualify Romney in battleground states, so the lunch-bucket Democrats have somebody to blame for their factories closing. The White House said this is their big strategy: Go after Bain; go after Romney. Will it play in those battleground states, and if it doesn't, what's Plan B?"

Day One, Part Two

SCHULTZ: It's not strategy! What it is is that Mitt Romney has made his record at Bain Capital his experience in the private sector -- which is almost exclusively at Bain Capital -- the central premise to American voters, uh, that ... that they should elect him president. There are thousands of workers who he laid off, uh, companies that they deliberately forced into bankruptcies, and Mitt Romney and his partners run -- made hundreds of millions of dollars.

RUSH: "Deliberately forced into bankruptcy."

So they're doubling down on Bain.

Whether it's working or not, they are going to double down on Bain.

And Romney's ads are entirely positive. And, by the way, remember all these calls against negative ads? "Gotta stop all the negative ads!" Well, Romney's out there running positive ads, and the media is still dissing his ads. The media is still ripping Romney's ads. The media is still criticizing Romney for his ads even though they're the essence of positive. So Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz says there basically is no Plan B. "We're going after Bain, we're going after Romney, and nothing gonna change." So Christine Romans says, "Well, why is it not hypocrisy for the president to take campaign donations from private equity when he's attacking private equity, making that an essential part of his campaign?"

SCHULTZ: Accepting a contribution from a particular person involved in venture capital and criticizing Mitt Romney -- who has made his record as a venture capitalist at Bain the central focus of his credibility and his qualification for being president -- are completely different things! So Mitt Romney, in the way that he ran Bain Capital -- the companies that he deliberately drove into bankruptcy, the creditors that he left with less than pennies on the dollar in return, and the thousands and thousands of people who he left on the unemployment lines while making hundreds of millions of dollars of -- in profits for himself and his partners -- is an appropriate examination for a man who is saying that this is the reason we should elect him president.

Who contributes to Barack Obama --

RUSH: Stop it! I feel like I'm I listening to Hillary. I can't stand it. It's nothing but... It's just poppycock. It's just lies. It's all lies. It's all absurd. I tell you what I'm gonna do. When we come back at the top of the hour, we'll do Marc Thiessen. Washington Post headline: "Forget Bain -- Obama's Public-Equity Record is the Real Scandal." And it's a list of all and every one of Obama's abject failures -- bailing out companies, green energy sector -- using your money. Romney used his own. Obama is using your money, taxpayer money is got a dismal record.

You talk about bankruptcies and people losing their jobs?

Obama's the king of destroying companies!

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The fact of the matter is Bain Capital was trying to keep these companies out of bankruptcy, and they were asked in to save these companies. These were not takeovers. This woman doesn't have the slightest idea what she's talking about.

Four more years of Bork Obunga starting next January, and I believe we’d be looking at one of those three or four centuries long dark ages which have occurred since Old Testament times, i.e. a period of two or three or four centuries for which there is no archaeological evidence.

Would a competent Socialist or an incompetent Socialist be more likely to be able to saddle us with a new federal health care program?

Mitt has friends pushing for the next best thing. Both Chris Christie and Rick Snyder are pushing the health care exchange angle.

“My soul is far more important than your fear of Obama.”

I’m not asking for an assessment of your soul, cripplecreek. I’m asking for your best plan to remove the commie Buckwheat from the Whitehouse.

I get it that you hate Romney. How does that remove Buckwheat?

I’m trying to establish common ground with FReepers. I’m saying that the No. 1 goal is to get Buckwheat and his mercenary Secret Service traitors out of the Whitehouse. That’s why I’m asking if you have a plan better than mine.

Well we threw Mitt’s Michigan patsies off the republican national committee last weekend. They both voted to change the delegate allocation rules AFTER the primary and now they’re gone. What have you done?

We (and the world’s economy) are seriously going down the toilet. It may very well take longer with Romney. IOW, a little more time for us to prepare for surviving the inevitable crash.

But make no mistake, the dominoes are going to be falling soon. When they do, we will probably be a little better off with Mittins. Whether that little is enough to improve our survival odds remains to be seen.

Here is my thing.

With Ghettobama it’s 100 percent certainty pf disaster.

with romney it’s probably 50 to 75 percent of disaster.

Am voting for Romney on the 25 to 50 percent chance he will do. The right thing, even if that is being overly optimistic.

we will NOT survive 4 more years of Obama.

All Mitt needs to do is stand there and look as normal as he can (for a guy with a space case religion) and watch Barack Obama melt down.

Mitt’s political flip-floppiness shows the silver lining that yes, given sufficient pressure he can be influenced. The pressure needs to keep up; it cannot relax with Obama’s ouster.

Probably worse than the Communist policies of Obama is his acceptance of and comfort with Muslims. In the long run IMO that is the bigger danger. Once a country goes Muslim there is never any turning back.

And really, barring some miraculous cataclysm in the meantime, the poll being taken this November amounts to whether the guard should change from one crazy unbeliever to another unbeliever who is probably more sensible. It can’t ever amount to a nomination for sainthood, and casting the question that way unconsciously is how we have people worried that their souls might be damned for checking the box by the Mormon’s name. I say nonsense to such a worry.

Who is going to effectively apply the pressure?

Do you really think conservatives are going to have any clout?

Flip flipper has a better chance of doing right thing than 100 percent committed Marxist communist like Obama

If Mitt would like four to be eight, he’s going to care.

I don't see it that way. It appears to me that both Mittens and his GOP-E backers believe they can do just fine flipping the bird to conservatives. And, judging by the way so many are ready to jump on his bandwagon, without extracting any additional commitments from him, they are probably correct.

Romney is going to win this thing easilyand true conservatives are going to spend 4 mre years in the wilderness.
